tom outside of the wall with an outlet
at sufficient distance. The outlet may
be simply a sinkhOle filed with stone
but it must be lower than the cellar

damp have another course of tile about

The use of cement mortar is a great
preventive against dampness in the
cellar and the way the cellar floor is
made has a great deal to do with it.
You can make a cement bottom that
is porous. or you a make it water
tight just by the difference in the way
the materials are mixed. 1t some
times is desirable to have the back
end OF the cellar dry and the front
part of the cellar somewhat moist for
fruit and vegetables, but this depends
upon what use you wish to make of
the cellar.

His Dilemma.

Henry Miller, the actor, tells an
amusing story to a man with a big
account in a savings bank. He ap-
preached the teller n day and con-
fided to him that he had quarreled
with his family and wanted to change
his will, but didn't know to whom to
leave his money.
The bank official, being Of a phil
anthropic bent, suggested that it be
given to an orphans home, waxing
eloquent in enlarging upon the good
the money would do. The visitor
listened with growing Impotence, and
then broke out with:

my money t o the orphans? What did
the orphans eve do for me?"-Broad-

shape OF the cellar to commence with,
but more depends on the manner In
which it is built and the care it re-
ceives afterwards. All cellars should
be dry. that is there should be no per-
ceptible dampness. When eatables are
stored in a cellar there should be no
accumulation Of mold. At the same
time a cellar should not be dusty dry.
Generally II a cellar is five feet under
ground and the wall extends two or
two and a half feet above grade the

freeze in winter and it will be neither

psychologists got to work with their
microscopes and ferreted out a whole
lot of mischievous germs that were
making human life miserable. Clean
illness cannot be maintained without

These things do not necessarily cost
a great deal more when you are build

is not worth considering. When you

Afternoon Session.

The business of the afternoon was
Bill No. 81, relating to electric light
ing of Maui.
Senator Hayselden spoke in favor of
the bill, meeting all of the objections
of the Governor with explanations of
the conditions on Maui. Senator Woods
made a motion to defer action but
withdrew it on the request of Senator
Smith who wished to speak on the
bill. He explained the attitude of the
Senate Committee on Territories rela-
tive to franchises. In particular that
committee wanted nothing left undone
by the Senate and House in Hawaii but
in this bill there was much to be done
and he would not vote for the passage
of it over the veto but for the fact
that it would be amended in Washing
ton or it would not pass at all. These
things could be attended to by a rep
resentative but he would be obliged
to go to Washington to do so.
Senator Woods said as much as he
disliked to sustain a veto he would
vote to sustain this one unless the Sen
ators would agree to defer action I'M
til morning. He referred to the Rapid
Transit and the Gas company fran
chises, measures that were put through
with little or no returns to the Terri
tory.
Senator Smith said that was hardly
the case a s the gas company paid a per-
centage of its gross receipts into the
Treasury of the Territory.
The motion to defer carried and the
Senate adjourned.

One of the incidents in the revolu-
tions that took place in Honolulu in
1893 and 1895 was the formation of the
Citizens Guard. Men in all walks of
Honolulu life who proved themselves
true to the cause of reform measures
in government were eligible to mem
bership.
The guard was divided into squads.

and it was there he showed his execu-
tive ability. To each member of the

could hand down to posterity as an

THE LAUNDRIES.
Senator Coelho, from the Health COM
mittee, reported on House Bill No. I'll
as follows:
every person who shall carry on
the business of laundry keeping or
washing for hire, within the limits of
the city of Honolulu, except in such
buildings as shall be provided for such
purpose in accordance with the pro-
visions of Section 1903, shall be liable
to fine not to exceed fifty dollars
for each and every day or part of
day during which he shall SO carry
on such business, and in default of pay
ment of such fine shall be imprisoned
at hard labor until such fine is paid. -
The amendments proposed are as fol-
lows: insert after the figure "1063''
the following words: ''or in such build
ings as may be approved and designat-
ed for such purpose by the Board of
Health, also by inserting the words
"upon conviction after the word
'shall' following after the above
amendment Also, change fifty" to
"tenp
These amendments seek to provide
that the business of laundry keeping
or washing for hire may be done in
such buildings as may be approved and
designated for such purpose by the.
Board of Health; and its passage would
enable Woodworking women to take in
washing to support themselves or their
children.
Your committee therefore recommend
the passage of the bin with the fol
lowing amendment:

Relative to the reorganization of the
Bureau of Forestry and Agriculture,
Senator Hayselden from the Lands
committee reported as follows:
BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
BY the amendments made to the
existing law, the office OF President of
the Board is created, the Superintend-
ent of Public Works is no more ex
officio member of the Board, and all
powers heretofore vested in him are
transferred to the President of the
Board who is thereby created the Elk
ecutive officer of the Board.
1T is also provided that the Presi-
dent Of the Board shall receive such
salary as may be appropriated by the
Legislature.
1.-The changes made create more
businesslike body and another depart
ment for the Government of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii with an additional
salary to be provided for by the tax
payers.

while Sheriff Iaukea and Detective
Taylor were going through some de-
bris in the station house the other day
they came across a package of them
only one of which appears to have been
returned from the owner. The package
was turned over to Frank McStocker
as the former head of the organization
and he has asked the Advertiser to see
to their delivery to the owners. The
management of the Gazette Company
will do this to the extent of delivery to
anyone who proves his right to a COM
mission in his name that may be in
the package.
A list of names has been made and
the commissions are here on demand.
One will be a memento of stirring
times in the islands and should be in
the hands of it's rightful owner. There
is no charge, all one must do is prove
his right to the parchment and it will
be given him. Some of the owners are
known to be on the other islands. A re-
quest with four cents in stamps will
secure the commission.
