Airship Sure To Ely.

It is remembered that the air navi- gation as exemplified in Birmin gham last season was quite failure. How ever, this year. it is positively an, nounced, the people will see the great bird of the air spread out its wings in a certain and determined flight In the evening there will be a magnificent fireworks display, which. judging from the preparations yesterday afternoon the people cannot afford to miss. Moth ing of a similar nature on a similar scale was ever before presented in Bir- mingham. In addition. Riccis band will give it's usual excellent concert, and the performances of the Dordens. Weitzmans, Shields. Sunlin and oth CT vaudeville stars will be repeated. The gates will be closed promptly at l2 o'clock every night. While the street car service was not good yesterday. probably due to the bad weather and the small attendance. it was announced last night that there would be suffi- cient cars today to accommodate the crowds.

As to Liberty.

Liberty was first introduced into this
country with shipload of tea. Since
then it has been seen occasionally III
odd places
Liberty has no permanent place or
residence, but boards out. At present
1t is staying with friends just outside
of Washington
Liberty is a great traveller. 1t has
visited in time New York, Boston.
Philadelphia and all the other large
centers. Having been introduced TO
the munoioal government, met the
leading po. .icians and visited the prin-
cipal places of amusement, it has then
left town.
Liberty is the one thing that every
body believes in, but no one has ever
seen. Traces of it are occasionally
found in p1hlic documents, but rudely
and uninte.ligently speaking it is ca
Ware to the general.
1t is popularity supposed that some
day Liberty will be in full charge Of
everything When this day will be

MADNESS OR DEATH.
The Inevitable Fate That Awaits the
Absinth Tippler.


What is absinth? 1t is prepared by
pounding the leaves and Towering tops
of various species of wormwood, star
anise root, sweetfiag root, leaves OF
dittany and other aromatic plants, and
sleeping them In alcohol. After eight
Or ten days the mixture is distilled,
and oil of aniseed or some similar es-
Sential oil is added. This is the method
Of producing the genuine absinth, but
1t varies usually in the direction or
cheapening production and increasing
profits. Poisonous wood alcohol is
nsed for macerating the vegetable III
gradients. and inferior and often in
furious herbs are employed. These do
not always produce the much desired
greenish opalescence, and turmerlc, IN
digo, sulphate of copper and other col
oring matters are employed. The con-
sequences Of regularly drinking even
carefully prepared absinth are III the
end ruinous to mind and body. The
main difference between the various
qualities of the liquor is the rapidly
with which deleterious effects are pro
| duced. A man can go on drinking the
better qualities a little longer before
| he becomes a mental and physical
wreck; that is ALL And, whether one
drinks to excess or only takes a reg
ular daily dose, the end is the same.
The sequence of events and their du-
ration only are different. In the first
case the large doses Of the liquor nee
essary to produce any effect speedily
render the victim unable to eat food
He is tortured by an unQuenchnble
thirst. Hallucinations speedily follow.
and the grave or the madhouse is the
inevitable end. The absinth tippler
goes to ruin down an easier slope. His
earliest symptoms are loss of weight
and strength. followed by the develop
ment of muscular twitchings and a
lettering gait, somewhat similar TO
that of locomotor ataXia. Then hahn
cinations set in, accompanied by grad
ually spreading paralysis, which ends
in death If a person is a regular daily
drinker of absinth, whether he drinks
to excess or only tippleS moderately,
ruin of the nervous system, followed
by madness or death, is absolutely Ger,

KALIHI SEWER
FULLY COMPLETED

Yesterday the last stroke of work on
the kalihi sewer was done. It is sep
arate from the Honolulu sewerage sys-
TEN. As it will drain into Kalihi bay
by natural fall, no pumping apparatus
is needed. About 5000 feet in length
the sewer is available for houses in
Kalihi along King street, from Kane
hameha Schools to about Kamehameha
". road. Outside of those bounds, in
both directions, the ground falls away
so as to make the sewer unavailable.
Besides Kamehameha Schools, for
which the first application for connec-
ton has been made, the Board of
Health's receiving station will have the
benefit of the sewer. Fort Shafter, the
new L. S. A. post at Kahauikt, will not
need it, it's sanitary protection being
subserved by system of septic tanks.
