AS to the sidewalks, he finds in both
Great Britain and the United States
that cement walks are taking the
place of everything else. The life OF
these in Liverpool is said to be from
25 to so years. The principal objec-
ton which he heard expressed by any,
one to cement walks was that they
were more slippery than stone flag,
ging, and more likely to be broken by
the falling Of heavy bodies. He be

having sidewalks paved at the cost OF
abutting owners is undesirable as evil

many instances dangerous condition
of the sidewalks.

in England Oil preparations he con-

satisfactory, but expensive for cOun-
try roads. Tar painting he considered
to be the best and most economical
expedient yet tried.
Concerning street sweeping and wa
tering, he finds little of novelty in
either England or America. In con-
nectiOn with street lighting he finds
in both England and this country that

important thoroughfares, that The gas

ofsvarious English and American cit

In the matter of public parks and
Fairgrounds, the schemes in Amer

is seen nowhere in England or in any
continental city which he had visited

T Blackboard Glance
BY Colonel J. A. Watrous.

There is a cog loose or broken
possibly a number of them-in the
old age that does not keep rather
close tab on the present, plan for the
future and do a good deal of looking
back.
! The old age that keeps these three
in about the right proportion is going
to sail gracefully, comfortably, ad-
vantageOusly to the end; going to be
| of help. real service to the commun-
ity; to be a constant JOY in the home
circle, and never an incumbTance, a
nuisance, to be dreaded by every
other member Of the family and the
community.
After that preachment I am going
| to take another backward glance,
much farther back than the backward
sweep which carried US back to the
closing campaign of Generals Grant
and Lee in the war that made Amer
lea a Notwithstanding back to
April, 1849-ffty-nine years ago. My
parents had gone to Brothertown,
Calumet county, the year before.
That year, 1848, as a lad of eight,
Joined two older brothers and a goodly
number of Brothertown Indians in
making up a marching club in the in
terest of the Wing candidate for presi-
dent, cd rough and ready, General
Zach Taylor, who had recently
emerged from the Mexican var with
record that caught the fancy of the
young.
AS there we're ten Brothertowners
to one white boy the question OF
leadership was a vexed one. 1t was
finally agreed that the head boy
should be a Brothertowner three days
to one day for the pale face, and the
head boy was to be elected by calling
the names Of the boys. Two of the
three white boys had led the hosts,
and when it came white boys turn
again there was nothing left but the
eight year old, and he asked that his
eldest brother be put in again. The
roll was called and the young one was
made head man of the tribe. Proud?
That does not adequately express it.
In those days the stage between Fond
du Lac and Green Bay stopped at our
house for dinner. There was lot OF
passengers that day and the young
commander timed his parade so as to
pass the house when they came out to
take the stage for Fond du Lac.
The music was made by cornstalk
flutes and tin pans. The cheers for
rough and ready were robust and the
walls for Cass, the other candidate. |

TWO DECISIONS
THIS MORNING
THE SUPREME COURT HANDED
DOWN A COUPLE OF OPINIONS
TODAY.

Two decisions were handed down by
the Supreme Court this morning, Meth
err of the. cases of any great public in
'terest. The first and most important
of these is on the reserved questions
from the Circuit Court in the case of
the Bishop Trust Company VS. the Oahu
Sugar Company in which the former as
trustee wishes to know whether 1t
might buy up the plantation bonds. The
court refuses to answer the questions
asked at all. The last paragraph of
the decision reads as follows:
Gupon the whole, while a court OF
equity should always be ready to pro-
tect trustees from risk of future la
bility, and may in its discretion advise
upon matters of special Importance to
the interests of the benefciaries, We
are unwilling to establish a precedent
for application to the court in a CASE
like the present. The reserved cues
lions are accordingly returned unan
swered."
The second case Is. that of Lucio Fer

cipal ticket is headed. The balloting
for both municipal and legislative
tickets was completed Sunday morning
at nearly 4 o'clock, with the exception
of that for Representatives from the
Fourth District. The Fifth district
completed its work but the Fourth will
meet tonight and select the right men.
There was lively scrimmage in
the Fifth for Representatives. 1t was

Kalana 10, Correa 10, Holoua 16, Aud

Boy Orator 6.
This meant the nomination of Ka-
leiopu while the others were voted for
again, Kaea, Correa and Kama win

SUNDAY
BLAZE
HOUSE BELONGING 10 W. e. RO-
WELL IN PALOLO is BURNED
DOWN

A two-story house on the west side
of Palolo valley, about a mile from
Waialae road was burned to the
ground on Sunday afternoon. 1t be-
longed to W. E. Rowel, the civil en-
gineer, and was leased to Miss Wor-
land, who used it as country re-
treat, her usual place or abode being
house opposite the baseball park,
between King street and Beretania
avenue.
Miss Worland drove out to the Pa
lolo house the middle OF the afternoon
and Embarrassed her horse, taking the
harness into the house. She lighted
the oil stove in the kitchen and went
out of there for a few moments. On
returning she found the stove had
burst. out in flames and tried to throw
it out of the house, but it was too
heavy and hot both, so she let it go
after having her eyebrows and halr
scorched.
Immediately the flames spread all
through the house and Miss Wor1and
running out for assistance was unable
to enter again. Edwin K Stone. who
lives some distance away across the
PalOlo stream, ran with a number OF
Japanese to the burning house. There
was water about fifty feet away but
only one bucket on the premises, and
the fire had gained such hold that
any attempt to save the house would
! have been useless. Within a quarter
of an hour it fell in, making heap
of blazing debris.
Miss Worland lost everything IN
the house which she owned, including
the buggy harness Some valuable
chinaware was among the effects, ana
the new frame Of a carriage unuer ,ne
xhouse was burned. Miss Worlands
| total loss is valued at about 500 and
was not insured Mr. Rowell being
on Tantalus could not be seen today
regarding the value of the house or
whether it was insured.

THE CAMPAIGNING IN NEW YORK

THE CAMPAIGNING IN NEW YORK
Barnes, Hendricks, Wadsworth and
divers other bosslets hold their prim-
aries, carry them against Hughes,
strange to Say, and then swagger about
and boast that the Republicans or
New York have spoken. The Republic
cans of New York not bound to the
machine have no use for the bossIets
and no patience with them. These
little demonstrations of the art of car
rying primaries produce no conviction.
Every fresh evidence o. the resistance
of the bosslets to public sentiment and
of their rancor against the Governor
whom they could not use stimulates
anew the public contempt for them and
the public desire to hold their noses
to the grindstone.-New York Sun.
