Court House Chat.

Once on a time, viz: January LIST,
1905, there was man who resolved
not to do so any more.
His friends congratulated him on
his having chosen the better way,
and his conscience'spoke even more
forcibly its pleasure.
AS he had not been on speaking
terms with his conscience for several
years, the renewal of old associations
was quite enjoyable.
Then his wife called him to the
telephone and told him that her
mother was at their house and had
promised to stay with them until
warm weather, and the man put up
the transmitter with sigh and be-
gun making fireproof pavements.
His name was John. {

A common cold is acute catarrh, which
quickly becomes chronic catarrh IL al
lowed to remain.
Every cold snap leaves in its trail
thousands of cases of catarrh, many OF
whom for want of an effective remedy,
will suffer from this disease the rest Of
their lives.
Is there anything that can be done to
prevent all this?
In the first place, Peruna used at tho
proper time will prevent taking cold.
In the second place, Peruna will cure
cold in from two to five days.
Again, Peruna will cure catarrh quick

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Able Discussion of the Consular
Service Canteen Ques-
ton.
Especial to Thr RrrrpLmASl

washington, ID. y. Jan. Il, lSOo.
The message of President Roose-
welt to Congress, suggesting means
to promote foreign trade is in line
with his well-known views regarding
the consular service. The next four
years will doubtless witness such a
strengthening and bracing up in this
service as has never before been
known. The consular service of the
United States is one of the weakest,
if not the very weakest, branches of
our civil service. The unfit men
who have been sent abroad to repre-
sent us in a commercial and semi
diplomatic capacity are perhaps the
worst ever sent by any government
for that purpose. A majority of
them have not known even how to
speak the language of the countryto
which they were accredited. A con-
sui sent to Cadiz, Spain, few years
ago, was not in the habit of wearing
collar in this country and consider
ed it effeminate and un-American to
wear one. He chewed tobacco in
cessantly and was one of the most
slovenly slipshod men of his class.
Doubtless there is much truth in
Burns lines that "a mans man
for a that" but was not the man
that was under consideration, it was
the consul-the parson who repre-
sented us in an alien country among
people who had been educated for
ages to consider dress, bearing and
the graces the end and aim of life
and who measured and judged our
country by our representative. This
Consul to the old and aristocratic
port of Cadiz was doubtless an ex-
IRENE type, but we have many Con-
suls abroad who are better only in
degree. They have been appointed
without regard to fitness-but on
account of kinship or because of
some political service rendered.
They have never Travelled and it is
rare that they know the language of
the country to which they are sent,
when it is considered that these
Consuls of ours, have to compete
with the debonair educated and poly
glot consuls that England and Ger
many send abroad we have before US
the reason why those countries take
trade away from us in South Ameri-
ca, Mexico, Cuba and other lands.
-
The President in his message rec
ommends that six commercial at
taches shall be sent to various for
eign localities to promote trade.
Each one is to receive a salary of
SIS, 900 year exclusive of travelling
expenses, and it is estimated that
the total expense of maintenance will
be annually, $4,000.
-
There is promise of important
and far reaching improvement in
the strengthening of our whole for
eign service in the interest of trade
and the gradual development of our
foreign trade capacities. For many
years agriculture in the United
States has provided, through the de-
mand from abroad for our surplus

We do not pay our foreign am
bassadors or ministers abroad as

recent administrations have been

HOUSE CLEANING.

The Right and the Wrong Way to Do
the Work-Timely Suggestions by
Mrs. Ransier.
Nv dear Sunshiners, before we
talk about anything else to-day, let's
talk about house-cleaning-a very
prosaic topic, but one that at this
season of the year makes the world
very happy with the sweet comforta-
bic cleanliness. resulting therefrom,
or very unhappy and uncomfortable
indeed without it.
\ very old topic, probably as old as
when Mother Eve tied up some grape
vines or sage grass into a rake or
broom and went for the cozy corner
of her boudoir in her cave or cove
and gave it a general clearing and
cleaning uF! It's a very new topic,
too. for I've been hearing and seeing
it too on all sides.
Now, when Sunshiners talk you
know they mean business, and do
not chatter just for the sake of chat
tering. but to improve ourselves and
our homes somehow.
Last week / had opportunity of OBJ
serving a house-cleaning which was
so altogether disagreeable and -un-
comfortable that / felt like writing
don't" all over it. The lady was a
very cleanly lady. So far, so good.
Cleanliness Is commendable. But
don't make others around you un-
happy with the strenuosity of your
cleanliness. The lady l speak of had
everything from upstairs brought
down into the lower rooms, porches
and yards. To do so they had to be
carried and twisted down and up a
narrow steep flight of stairs, uncom-
Portable to climb at any time. Of
course she couldn't help the stairs be-
ing hard to climb, but she could have
cleaned many of the things from up
per windows and rooms. Then when
she got to the downstairs, chaos
reigned supreme. All the while, she
was scolding and fussing and fret
ting and saying unkind things to her
helpers and made life not worth the
living TO all around her.
Yet this lady is one who is chari-
table and usually means to do right.
Then why, why will she let a mere
hOUse-cleaning make a hades of her
home and a spit-fre of herself?
My Sunshine sisters, don't do it.
In the first place, only one room
OF house should be attempted at a
time. and before that the closets and
wardrobes should first be cleaned,
everything in them being thoroughly
AIRED, summed, and hung or packed
away again before a room is attempt
ed. Then the beds, if not iron, should
have coat of cheap varnish inside,
all over them. in the corners and un-
Gerneath in parts that don't show; !;
'hls prevents insects. And when you
come to clean downstairs adopt the
same plan-a room at time.
Also, in the cleaning, pack all the
unnecessary things that you mean to
pass on into a box to send to Sun
Snine. Make it a generous one. 1t
VIII relieve your own house and help
TO make comfortable some one who
has less.

why nut them away if they are only
kept as souvenirs; or if desired for
ornament. put them in a cabinet, un-
der glass, where they can have an oc-
casional cleaning.
Don't, my dear sisters, litter your
house with unnecessary things. A
Jew well-chosen ornaments and pic
lures help to beautify your house;
but some one else's house has no or
naments. If yours is crowded, pass
them on.
Miss Hannah w. sends the fol-
lowing:
The Sheaf of Richest Grain.
He saw the ripe wheat waiting
All golden in the sun.
And strong and stalwart reapers
Went by him, one by one.
"Oh, could 1 reap in harvestp'
His heart made bitter cry;
Il car do nothing, nothing,
So weak, alas am l."
At eve a fainting traveller
Sank down beside his door
A cup of cool, sweet water
To quench his thirst he bore,
And when, refresh'd and strengthen
ed
The traveller went his way,
Upon the poor mans threshold
A golden wheat sheaf lay.
When came the Lord of harvest,
He cried: 90 Master kind!
One sheaf have / to offer
And that / did not bind;
| gave a cup of water
To one athirst, and he
Left at my door in going
The sheaf / offer thee"
Then said the Lord of harvest,
"Well pleased with this am L;
One of my angels left it
With thee as he passed by.
Thou mayest not join the reapers
Upon the harvest plain,
But whose helps brother
Binds sheaves of richest grain"

No more silver dollars are to be
coined in this country unless Con-
gress at some time authorizes the
resumption of coinage and the pur-
chase of silver bullion for that pur-
rose. The last of the silver bullion
purchased under the Act of 1878, for
the resumption of silver coinage, has
been put into silver dollars. There
is an exception of 100000 ounces
that is being kept for subsidiary
coinage and in a few months this
will be used up and in the future
the treasury must buy silver bullion
for subsidiary coinage purposes.
Under the Bland-Allison act, it is
stated by George E. Roberts, director
of the mint, the total coinage of
silver dollars has been $5T0,272,61O.
This includes about $5,0OO,OOO of
trade dollars that were recoined. The
total coinage represents about the
total value of the bullion that was
purchased.

OLD FISHMARKET
i, FOR A NATATORIUM

That large iron and glass pavilion
once called the Honolulu Market, built
at cost of many thousand dollars,
is now a source of revenue amount
ing TO $40 a month, derived from a
lonesome japanese fish seller. The
Legislature of 1903 caused an almost
complete abandonment of this valuable
property when 1t conceded to a Chi
nese hui the right to sell fish on Ke-
kaulike street. The willy Chinese
euchered our unsophisticated Territori-
al fathers out of a handsome annual
income. In order to make the best of
bad bargain 1t has been suggested
by a resident of Honolulu to turn the
structure into a natatorium, where the
people can be given full indulgence in
salt water bathing without going to
out-of-town places. Sea water could
be pumped from point near the reef
and one or two plunge baths con-
structed in the center of the pavilion.
Fifty or more private rooms for shower
or tub baths could be introduced and
a wide observation gallery at an ele-
walton of 20 feet made to run around
the inside of the entire structure. A
salt water bath is a tonic in the morn
ing and sedative in the evening 1t
would be an ideal place for swimming
exhibitions, with band concerts to en-
lfven the events. Prices could be seal
ed from % cents down to a nickel to
reach the most INDECENT or to accord
with the class OF accommodation. Some
private company could perhaps carry on
such a business better than the Gov
ernment.-Paradise OF the Pacific.

BELCHER IN
AUSTRALIA

The following dispatch indicates that
Belcher, the fugitive ex-Mayor. of Pat
erson. N j.. slipped through Honolulu
after all on his way to the Colonies:
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-william Hen
ny Belcher, Mayor of Paterson, N. J.,
fugitive from justice and embezzler of
more than 100000 from financial in
situations, has been located at Yebri,
Queensland, Australia. He is residing
there with his old friend, James Rob-
ertson, former Patersonlan. who left
home under similar circumstances more
than fifteen years ago.
Leaving Paterson on July 81 last,
Belcher boarded train at Little Falls,
three miles from Paterson. At Newark
he boarded a train for the West, ar
irving in San Diego, Cal. five days
later He had shaved off his mustache
and otherwise. attempted to disguise
himself
Belcher passed several days at San
Diego, and this fact assisted him in de-
feating an attempt at capture at the
fnstigation of Governor Stokes and
Prosecutor Emley, when the ship on
which he had engaged passage as
william II. Pitcher" was searched at
San Francisco and Honolulu. When
placed under arrest in San Francisco.
Belcher called upon his San Diego
friends to prove his identity and they
did so, claiming him to be business
man OF that city. When the ship was
en- route to Honolulu, Governor Stokes
cabled the Sheriff at Honolulu, in
forming him of the suspicious of the
local authorities.
Again the vessel was stopped. Bel
cher had made a friend on board the
ship or taken a confederate with him
from San Diego. This man informed
the authorities that the man they had
picked out as Belcher was a San Diego
business man on his way to Australia.
The story was believed and Belcher
once more escaped arrest.
The Call also has the following con-
corning Captain Saunders alleged con-
nection with the Belcher matter:
Captain ]. w. Saunders of the Man
churia, who is in trouble with the Fed
eral authorities over his naturalization
papers, which are alleged to have been
forged, may also find himself in trouble
with the police when he returns from
his present voyage to the Orient.
When William Henry Belcher, the de-
faulting Mayor of Paterson, N. j., who
has been located in Western Australia,
came to this city he took passage on
the Manchuria, representing himself as
a preacher named Pitcher. Detective
Ed Gibson was watching the passen-
gers boarding the steamship and ar
rested Belcher from a photograph sent
from New Jersey. Belcher was indig-
nant, claiming that his name was
Pitcher, preacher He appealed to
Captain Saunders and the captain told
Gibson he had made a mistake, as he
had known Pitcher for several years.
On that positive statement Gibson al
lowed Belcher to leave with the steam
ship.
If Gibson had held his prisoner he
would have been entitled to a reward
of $4,000, which was offered for Bel
cher's capture.

WA|ALUA TO Be MADE
$4,000 TON PLANTATION
Advertiser Photo.

1 auJOln eacn Otner, at snort distance
from the dam. There is larger and
| steadier flow of water here than from
any other stream in the island of Oahu,
draining a large watershed of several
thousand acres of the summit and
slopes of the Koolau mountains.
The dam is to have capacity of g.
| 500,000,000 gallons. There are two other
| streams of fresh WAGER canning from two
other gulches, containing larger
streams and draining larger water
sheds than the Opaeula and Waiinea
streams which up to the present time
have been practically untouched. 1t
is intended to make use of this at a
later date.
With the water development above
outlined, as coming from the gulches,
and conserved by the dam and va
rious reservoirs, it is believed that
about $4,000 acres of land, all below
the 700-foot level can be irrigated by
these mountain streams, the greater
part of every year; and it is possible
that when the streams have been furth-
er developed, experience will show that
the water may be proftably used on
lands above the 700-foot level, there
" producing ioiSc cIopS Ou inc upper
lands.
Above the 9O0-foot level, it is es-
timated that from four to six thousand
acres of good land can be cultivated,
with cane, large part of which land
is comparatively level, with soil of
good depth and quality. The rainfall
on these upper lands ranges from 40
to 60 inches per annum, as shown by
records, which is about the same rain
fall as in ordinary years is found in
Hamakua, Hawaii; Kau, Hawaii and
Lauhala, Hawaii. And it is probable
that from these upper non.irrigated
fields, the cane will yield from three
to four tons of sugar per acre.
REHABILITATION.
The money expended on this water
development proves to be most wise
expenditure, and for the best interests
of the plantation, and all connected
with 1t, whether stockholders or bond
holders.
The result is that Waialua Plantation
is going to have $4,000 acres of land
under sugar cultivation, all of which
will be irrigated with fresh mountain
water, brought on the plantation by
gravity, during greater part of the
year, making it possible that the pumps
and the necessary expense of pumping
will only be called upon occasionally,
and in addition there will be about
5000 acres of non-irrigated lands plant
ed in cane, with good soil and a suf-
ficient rainfall to warrant conserva-
tive estimate of from three to four
tons. of sugar to the acre from these
non-irrigated lands.
Assuming that the 10000 acres be-
low the 700-foot level will produce 6
tons to the acre, which is about the
average for the past five years; and
assuming that the 5000 acres of nom
irrigated land will produce tons to the
acre, this would indicate that Waialua
will produce about $4,000 tons of sugar
per annum, with possibly still further
expansion, in area and crop, in the flu
ture.
