Plan for Mckinley
Memorial.

For making an actual beginning on
The Robinson plan of identifying Ho-
nolulu, herewith something definite,
practicable and not excessively costly
j. presented. 1t is the Improvement
Of the presently disused public market
building, including its transformation
into a great assembly pavilion-useful
and even much wanted for many pur-
poses of the people at large-the struc-
ture as remodeled to be perpetually
dedicated to the memory of the mar
tyred President William Mckinley, I'M
der whose administration Hawaii was
annexed to the great American Com
monwealth.
Intrinsieally a thing of beauty, as
the accompanying sketches indicate,
and of utility, as a recent contribution
10 the Advertiser. as well as the an
nexed correspondence, very effectively
shows, the proposed remodeling of the
market edifce offers a tangible solu-
tion of its long-worrying problem to
the Mckinley Memorial Fund Commit
tee. Further than this the Advertiser
does not at present commit itself, be-
ing content pending free public dis
eussion with giving space TO the XII
lohana Art League for presenting its
scheme.
Following are the letters to which
reference has been made, accompanied
by sketches of the exterior of the mar
ket building as proposed to be re
modelled:

sonalities and the readers can Judge
whether this adds strength to the cause
you defend.
The story You give of the boy who
does not know when he was whipped
reminds me Of the story of another
boy. When there was fight, as it
happens among boys, he watched his
CHARGE till the others had wrestled and
he thought had tired his opponent so
that now he easily might throw him
down. But all the boys called this
one coward.
AS to the Catholic you won over
to your side, congratulate you.
But not noticing here any empty
place, presume that it is one of those
Catholics who are conspicuous with us
by their absence.
Dear Bishop, / like fair play and
serious arguments in such a serious
question as that under discussion. You
seem to be concerned in the approvals
given to you, you say, by supposed
bishops, priests and prominent laymen
of the Roman Catholic faith. / may
reply that great number of your
church members have expressed their
dissatisfaction with your controversy.
But this being only personal matter,
it does not improve either your or my
side of the question. I am always
ready to discuss and accept an argu-
ment based on sound logic, but I hate
to be a party in quarrel for the
satisfaction it may give either to your
or my friends on the hearsay of either
Disguised Roman Catholics or English
Episcopalians.
Sincerely yours,

INFANT WlCKEDLY
LEFT TO PERISH

The feeble walls of an infant at
tracted the attention of Mrs. Lone
Austin, of Kakaako, to a bundle left
on the ground at the extreme end of
Queen street in Kewalo last Sunday
morning. An examination of the pack
age uncovered an infant, evidently only
a few hours old. The child was a
healthy, white male and was objeeting
with all the strength of his young
lungs to the way in which he was be-
ing neglected. Wrapped around the
infant were two pieces of white cloth
without any marks whatever Of iden.

Mrs. Austin took the little Moses
to her home and cared for him, in

BILE of her find. In case the unnatural
parents of the baby can not be locat-
ed and made to pay for the keep of
their offspring, Mrs. Austin will prob.
ably adopt the boy and bring him up.
A search is being made for the ones
who were cruel enough to leave the
child out to die, which would have
been its fate if its dis
,overy had been delayed for any
ength of time.

Thirty of the fifty jurymen summon

threatened the day before to exhaust
the jury supply of the city, had sud-
denly had a change of heart and an
nounced that he was willing to waive

was agreeable to the court and the
case was immediately started.
The evidence of the two members OF
the grand jury who had made the raid
on what the court termed, for the sake
of brevity, the gambling HE'LL was
first taken. They told how they had
gained access to the room through a
trapdoor in the ceiling, surprising some

Breckons then took him in hand and
desired some information as to his
occupation. 1t developed that the wit

jobs for his wife. his last successful
venture in this line having been made
two weeks ago. when he had taken

In other words, we rather vote for prohibition now, knowing that 1t will not and cannot prohibit, in the hope that some years hence when the legislature meets again, it may sec fit to pass some additional provisions under which there Is a possibility of it's enforcement. Would 1t not be very well to suggest, as the part of wisdom. tkat we get the law that is enforcible alopted by the legisla ture before we undertake. to bring on the chaos which must result in so large a community as this, and a law which is not and cannot be enforced. Let 1t be clearly understood that this internal reve- hue collector, with all the power of the federal government at his back, says what everybody knows to be true with reference to the enforcement of prohibit ton in counties which have already adopt ed it Ut might as well be recognized that it cannot be done through the regular channels. It never has been done in Ala bama in any county" and what Is it he proposes that the legislature shall here after adopt as a method for its future en- foreement? It is proposed to set aside the regular channels of the law? Is it pro- posed to establish a central authority It Montgomery or shall we say at Birmlng- ham, in the way of a state revenue off cer under the general direction of the chief executive, with power to appoint an unlimited number of deputies to police the prohibited districts for the purpose of prosecuting the violtors in their respec- tive counties? Citizens of Jefferson coun- ty, what do you thing of such cen tralization of power?" What do you think of a state revenue officer empowered to appoint an unlimited number of deputies? Just such a system as the federal au- thorities have for enforcing the internal revenue laws
 And yet. we are asked gravely, first to vote for the mockery of prohibition that has been a failure, according to one of its leading advocates, in every county of the state where tried, in the vain hope that sometime in the future the legislature would enact @, law in Alabama that would place over our people the system of espionage made notorious under the name of deputy United States marshals and collectors.

MOST PEOPLE FEAR
 THE SLEEP OF DEATH

a bamboo platform in front of his recent dwelling. Young men and maidens form separate chorusss on either side of the remains. One by one the youths sing ar dent love to the maiden of his fancy, who coquettishly sings back Encouragement until finally won When the general court ing is accomplished the young people withdraw and the funeral rites proceed.
 According to the belief of the Giliaks of Siberia, the soul passes from the body of the dead master into that of his dog, who is surprised by all sorts of dainty food until the guest within Is prayed out when the poor animal. equally uystified. Is put to death on his masters grave.
 But in the glad. free days of primitive savagery many tribes were not satisfied with so petty an offering as dog. They demanded human sacrifice to grace their graves.
 Such were the Sakalava of Madagascar, and later when forced to modify their views, the poles erected round their tombs were garishly decorated with skulls and horns of cattle killed at their funeral feasts.
 The sign and symbol of the Malay Sa- kais belief in life after death Is crude ly expressed in the custom of burying a tobacco box with the body of man, a necklace with that of a woman. But the ignorant fear of the body's pollution seems highly developed. and the house of death is burned down, the site abandoned. even if 1t means a lost crop of sugar cane or tapioca.
 Lying between the Malay peninsula and Wales is long sweep of map and civil ization, but so remarkable a custom Is followed in the latter country, within the memory of men living today" that we cannot pass 1t by unchronicled.
 This was the presence of the Sin Eater at funerals. Bread, beer and cheese placed upon the corpse were consumed by the SinEater, who thus appropriated to himself the delinquencies symbolized by the viands and prevented them from de- stroying the rest of the dead"
 scarcely less peculiar superstition, though one of lighter vein. was that known in many parts of Europe, rural England, and even our own New Eng land as Telling the Bees.
 It was widely believed that at the death of member of the family the bees would all fly away unless some one knocked on the hives and tremendously told them Of the sad event. Sometimes the absurdity was carried further by decorating the hives with mourning or presenting the bees with funeral biscuit.
