GREATER HONORS
ARE IN HIS WAY
Colonel Schuyler Leaves Today
for New Post to Command
as Brigadier.
(From Saturday q Advertiser.)

Col Walter 5. Schuyler, Fifth Cav
airy, United States Army, in temporary
command of the district of Hawaii,
leaves Honolulu today on the liner Mon
gclia for the Coast, en- route to Fort
Riley, Kansas, to which he has been
assigned as commandant On or about
January l, Colonel SCHUYLER will reach
a brigadiership, and the eagles now
upon his shoulders will be replaced by
the single stars in each of his shoulder
straps. He will probably reach his pro-
motion rank while he is in San Fran
cisco, where he may confer with Gen.
eral Macomb, who has been assigned TO
the command of the district of Hawaii.
Colonel Schuyler, during this year,
was selected to become a member of
the general staff at Washington, in
charge of the cavalry section, taking
that position as a colonel. Within a
few weeks his orders have been changed
and instead he will assume command
of one of the most important military
posts in the United States.
The departing officer arrived here
about two years ago, in command of
two squadrons of the Fifth Cavalry,
and established his headquarters at the
newly built cantonment at Leilehua,
now known as Schofield Barracks. A
few months ago the remaining squad
ron arrived here from the Yellowstone,
and for the first time in years the
famous old regiment was united. 1t
was an suspicious occasion, not only for
Colonel Schuyler, but for all his officers,
and the event was signalized by regi.
mental dinner.
Colonel Schuyler accompanied one of
the Russian armies during the Russo.
Japanese war as an observer of the
United States Army, and witnessed
many of the great battles of that war.
He is a descendant of the famous
Schuylers of New York, whose names
were prominently connected with the
Revolutionary War and in the organiza-
ton of the colonies long before the
Boston tea party was ever thought of.
Honolulu, while losing an eminent
military officer, is gaining a friend at
court, for General Schuyler will doubt.
less be heard from again at Washington.
On December 6 Colonel Schuyler re-
linquished direct command of the Fifth
Cavalry, but his official departure from
Schotield Barracks was dated Yesterday.
at which time he turned the command
over to Colonel Wheeler, the
last act in his connection with the Fifth
Horse being to review the entire repi.
ment. which trotted before him, mount
ed. 1t was the last review which he
will have as regimental commander, for
in future he will deal with brigades.
As far as Colonel Schuyler is aware.
his successor to the command of the
fifth may be Lieutenant Colonel O'Con.
nor of the cavalry arm of the service,
he being the senior among the lieuten.
~ am very sorry to leave Homo.
lulu, said Colonel Schuyler yesterday,
and can assure you that l hope to
return here some day"

SMALL FORTUNE
TO GAZETTE MEN
One Printer Receives More Than
Four Hundred Dollars
for Christmas.
u'rom Sundays AdverttscrA

Two thousand six hundred dollars was
distributed among Gazette company
employees yesterday in celebration Of
the Christmas season.
But it was $4,000 which thy employees
of the mechanical department had
saved, week by week, until tho aggre-
gate assumed big proportions, and yes
terday the division was made among
about forty thrifty workers.
Several years ago, when Isaac Tesla
was alive, he started a savings depart
ment among the employees and was the
treasurer. Each week employees who
wished TO avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to start bank account, gave
an order against their salary or wages,
payable to the treasurer. The amounts
were deposited in one of the banks,
where the total drew interest. On the
day before Christmas the division was
made, interest being added to the de-
posits. Isaac Tesla is dead, but the
department is still continued, with Syl
Correa, representative. elect to the legis-
lature, as treasurer.
Some Of the employees this year have
been exceptionally thrifty, one man
drawing over S4O6 as the aggregate of
his deposits, week by week, while the
remainder tapered down from $500,
several in the 5000 division and quite
a list of those who had saved over $50.
Interest added to the deposits accord
ing to the amount deposited, made n
tidy Christmas sum for each employee.
In recognition Of Mr.. Correa g serv-
ices, for which he draws no compensa-
tion, the employees presented him yes
terday with a handsome silver shaving
set In thanking the members of the
savings department for their handsome
gift, Mr., Correa drew attention to the
object of the department, saying that
the young people should take notice of
how easily small sums, saved weekly,
amount to so large a sum at the end Of
a year II was an object lesson which
could well he studied and adopted, he

.MOTT-SMITH
OPENS CAMPAIGN
Territorial Secretary Tells How
Autos Help in Killing Off
Mosquitoes.

NEW YORK, December Two new
methods DISCRIMINATING mosquitoes
which had been adopted with success
in Honolulu have been recommended to
the New York health department by
Ernest Mott-Smith, secretary of the
territorial government, who is making
his first visit to New York in five
years.
One of the new methods of combat.
ing the mosquito is by the use of gas,
while the other is employment of mos
quito fish.
The gas method, according to Smith
was discovered by accident,
eve started using oil, - he says,
'but there was complaint that this
gummed up the sewage drains, and
then our chief sanitary officer hit upon
the use of calcium carbide. One day
in cleaning out his automobile lamps
he threw some of the calcium carbide
into an old bucket in which were lot
of embryonic mosquitoes. The next
morning he discovered that the wig
glers We're all dead.
He made some experiments and
found that calcium carbide was almost
as inexpensive as oil and more effec
tive, so since then we have been kill
ing mosquitoes by gas.
"Then we employ mosquito fish.
They are little creatures from an inch
and a half to two inches long. You
can take jar so black with wigglers
that YOU can not see through the water,
and put one of these fish into it and
in half an hour there will not be a
single wiggler outside the fish. The
fish are as transparent as glass, when
empty, but after such a meal their
bodies are black with swallowed wig
glers. "

FLORAL PARADE May
HELP CANE WORKERS
Committee Trying to Get General
Holiday for That Event All
Over the island.

1t is probable that an effort will be
made shortly to have the Floral Parade
committee use its good Offices in secur-
ing the recognition of Washington s
Birthday as a holiday by the sugar
plantations of this island, at least.
This matter was brought to the at
tention of the committee when an
effort was made to secure the eoopera-
tion of certain plantation men in the
Floral Parade. These employees stated
that they would be unable to get time
even to see the parade unless the plan
tations could be induced to declare the
day a holiday. They further stated
that they would very greatly prefer
having Washington Birthday as
holiday than Kamehameha Day, which
has always been recognized on the plan
tations. This latter holiday means very
little to the average plantation EN-.
ploye, since there are comparatively
few Hawaiians now employed in any
capacity in the sugar industry, and the
various nationalities which make up the
working force find little to do on the
18th of June, for the reason that there
is nowadays almost no demonstration
worthy of note in connection with il.

files the papers for the condemnation

extension to the Mahuku site for

The Globe Silver Belt goes to the length of two columns in its crIti- cism of the city council at Globe because of its action in fixing s2 as the per diem to be paid for com mon labor on the streeets of the city According to a statement from members of the city council which followed the criticism the s2 rate was fixed, first. because of the depleted condition of the city treas ury and. second because $2 is the wage paid for like labor in Globe by the mining companies there and by the county for road work This ex- planstion it would seem should be sufficient Why should the city pay 8 Is per cent more for labor than is paid by the mining companies in Globe?

agance is indulged in between crop seasons, no matter how hard the times. the farms will save the coun- try in the good old harvest period. There is warrant for this view. be- cause time and again in the history of this country business interests have remained stagnant. if not on the edge of bankruptcy, waiting for reports from the harvest field It has become more or less of a conviction that with good crops this country can stand any amount of fool finance in and out of congress. can tax the people any amount for the bene- fit of tariff beneficiaries. But there is a limit to the power of all things. and 1t would do no harm for the country to sober up a little and be more careful
