WATERFRONT LIMITED"

Have you taken a ride on the new

another day. The track runs from
King and River streets along Queen
street to Fort. down Fort to Allen
and out Allen to Alakea, taking in al
most the entire waterfront The
waterfront Limited" runs every ter
minutes from a. m. to 6 p. m. and
the trip is worth a dollar although it
costs but five cents with transfer

KING ALFONSO AND AMERICAN
GIRLS.

The Rev. Thomas Van Ness, who has
travelled much in Spain and who has
a rich fund of stories of that country
tells this anecdote of King Alfonso:
a certain member of the Spanish
court was urging upon his Majesty the
advisability of his marriage with a
certain Princess, when the young King
interrupted him.
NO he said, II, shall marry an
American. First, because the Amer
leans are all rich. and that will please
you. Second, because they are all Re-
publicans, and that will please many
of my people. Third, because they are
all beautiful. And that will please me-

gEZM PACIFIC
Uses OF THE MILITIA.

The star is worried lest, IL case OF
war. the defence of these islands Oy
the Federal artillery and the navy
would suffer for want of assistance by
the Hawaiian militia. Hence the en-
tire propriety. indeed the common
patriotisrn. of spending large sums TO
keep the militia going in time of peace
For all the Star knows to the contrary
a war with a great power will sud-
denlv come upon US and, when the
enemx's feet is reported by Diamond
Head Charley, capture will be certain
unless the general at the forts may
count en- the emba tiled employees of
the Public Works department led by
the court stenographer and inspired
to feats of daring by the patriotic
shouts of the chief of the garbage de-
partment.
1t is always with pain that the Ad-
vertiser disagrees with the Star, but
it hesitates to think that the United
States cannot put a sufficient garrison
here to man all the defensive works it
is going to build and that the islands
may be lost unless the taxpayers keep
the First-let US hope also the Last
n. G. regiment in being. Indeed this
journal is inclined to think that if our
militia ever put in an appearance at
the firing Hne-which is very doubt
IL, would
ask a policeman to shoe them away.
If, by any chance, the regulars need
ed help they would be far more likely
to draw upon some of our veteran
japanese Iaborers, than to disturb the
peaceful avocations and unsettle the
sensitive nerves of the n. Gs. But, as
we have already said, when Uncle Sam
gets ready TO defend these islands. he
will probably do it with his accus-
toned thoroughness.
There is one sphere of action, how
nance of the local militia for war pur-
poses and we are not prepared to say |
that a serious proposition, under this |
head, would not receive the Adver- |
Users support. If war comes, the reg
ular troops would have to be well fed !
and if the First Regiment We're sent
into the hills to dig sweet potatoes
and other vegetables and into the val
leys to pluck taro. the occupation
would not only be more congenial to
it than war-more familiar, in fact
but it would contribute several hun~
dredweight a day to the success of
the Cause. What more inspiring word
could be sent to the hungry fighters in
the forts than wireless from Colonel
Jones at the head of the Kalihi val
ley: Am hurrying reserves of cab
bages to our extreme front at the Por-
tuguese church. Have ordered Cap
tain Johnson to come in after dark
with forty-six cans of poi. First bat
talon will leave for the Waianae
range tomorrow to hunt goats"
message like that would afford Uncle
Sans artillerymen so much more
solace than the news that the First
Regiment was coming to fire its mus
kets at the enemys fleet. that We are
not sure but the militia ought to be
kept up after all. But we submit, in
such event, that it should be provided
with a truck farm to drill in instead of
an armory.

NEW PROCESS FOR
CLEANING GRANITE
Laborer in Treasurer Building at Wash
ington Tries New Cleansing Fluid
With Great Success.

Washington, Aug. "a new cleansing
fluid has been used on the outer walls of
the United States Treasury Building,
and tie inventor, who is a laborer in
the department, is thinking of having
the device patented. Several weeks ago
the laborer told the Treasurer Depart
ment authorities that he had discovered
IA means OF cleaning granite and sand
stone that beat scrub brushes and sand
blast, The cleansing material proved to
be a mlTky liquid, kept in a pail which
the inventor allowed none of the other
workmen to approach for fear that they
would discover the secret process by
which the liquid is compounded.
The inventor showed some of the
treasury officials what he could do in the
way OF cleaning q small block of granite.
He dipped a large brush in the mysteri-
Gus liquid and quickly covered the sur
face Of the stone. Then man with q
garden hose turned on a Jet Of water
and IN a minute the stone was as clean
as when it first came from the quarry
The process looked 50 easy and the
results SO surprising that the depart
ment told the man to 90 ahead and
clean tile foundations of the building and
as much more Of the structure as could
be reached conveniently By the man
standing on the ground Two or three
years AGO a part Of the building was
cleaned with O sandblast and the re-
suits were even more unsatisfactory
than the sandblasting 81 the City Hall III
New York.
The sandblast PLAYED havoc with the
Treasury Building from an artistic point
point Of view, but sinces the man with
the mysterious blue black liquid began
his work the building has presented q
marvellous sight. The huge granite
blocks which form the foundations Of
the building on all four sides are as free
from the smoke or other discolorations
as they were when they were quarried.
! II time has wraught a flaw in any Of
the stones the defect stands out with dis
tinctness and the seams of mortar are
conspicuous. The building now appears
in four shades, ranging from light gray
| to very dark gray. The foundation
stones and the finely cut lamp and fence
posts about the building are almost
white. The same color obtains on the
lower part of the magnificent Ionic pill
