When Mark Twain was travelling
in Europe many years ago, he stop
ed at Bellagio on the shores OF Lake
Como Being familiar with Lake
Tahoe he drew the following COM
parsons OF it and Lake Como on tins
journey:
81 did not like it (Lake Como) yes
terday | thought Lake Taboo much
Como was a vast basin OF water, like
Tahoe, shut in by great mountains.
Well. the border of huge mountains
is here, but the lake itself is not a
basin. 1t IS as crooked as any brook
and only from one-quater to two
thirds as wide as the Mississippi
There is not a yard of low ground on
either side OF it--nothing but endless
chains OF mountains that spring alb

jutting and picturesque pinnacles a
thousand feet above your head.
\ great feature OF Como's attra-
ctiveness is the multitude OF pretty
hauses and gardens on its mountain
sides They look so snug and home
like, and eventide when everything
seems to smmber. and the music OF
the vesper bells comes stealing oveI
the water, one almost believes that
nowhere else than on the Lake OF
Como can be found such a paradise
of tranquil repose.
In poem written by noted au
thor on Lake Como, line in one OF
the verses reads, Near a clear lake
margned by fruits of gold etc" That
is all very well, except the "clear
part of the lake. 1t certainly is clear
er than a great many lakes. but how
dull its waters are compared with the
wonderful transparence of Lake
Tahoe. People talk of the transpar-

SECOND SUDDEN
DEATH IN IWILE
SHACK ALARMS

Several surgeons and doctors connect
ed with the federal and territorial quar-
antine and health departments were
seriously concerned yesterday over the
sudden death of Kealoha Wailaahia, a
Hawaiian residing in the shack district
formerly occupied by Russians in Iwi-
lei, and known to Iwileians and the
police as the s'Gold Niue.
On Monday the wife of Wailaahia
died at the hospital of ptomaine poison
ing. Yesterday morning the husband
passed away in the presence of his three
little children. He had been unattend.
ed by a physician. Two deaths in the
same family within three days caused
the police to be concerned and the
health departments were notified.
An autopsy was performed on Wal
laahia yesterday by Doctor Emerson
with other surgeons present and the
contents of the stomach are being ex-
amined by Territorial Chemist Blan-
chard. There is reason to believe that
the husband and wife may have both
died Of ptomaine poisoning, although
the police are inclined to the theory
that alcoholism had something to dc
with their sudden demise.

BOYCOTT IS SWORD
WITH TWO EDGES

LONDON, February Allow the
boycott cuts both ways is illustrated in
the current journal of the British
Chamber of Commerce in Turkey. The
Turkish boycott of Greek trade and
shipping has now lasted over seven
months, and although 1t has undoubt-
eddy affected Greek merchants, goods
and steamers there appears to be little
doubt that the Ottoman government
and merchants, and especially the
working classes, have themselves suf-
fered
The government loses in dues owing
to Greek steamers having ceased to
call at Constantinople. About thirty
trading steamers representing $4,000
tons have been tied up and the con-
sequent loss in harbor and light dues
has been about 100000. Losses of
other kinds are difficult to calculate
but must be very considerable.
The Journal points out that while
there may be temporary pecuniary
loss to Greece and a divergence of
Greek trade elsewhere the balance will
in time be restored, but the loss to
Turkey herself is permanent one.

UNITED CHINESE
WILL RAISE FUND
FOR STARVING ONES

The Chinese of Honolulu expect to
raise at least two thousand dullars as
their share of the Famine Relied Fund
and the matter will be taken up and
pressed vigorously at the next meeting
of the United Chinese Society, to be
held next week. The two Chinese news
papers are printing all the particulars
received regarding the extent of the
famine and the suffering consequent
upon it and there is a general desire
among the Chinese of all classes to do
something.
1t has been decided to turn over
what money is collected by The Ad-
yertiser to committee composed of
Rev. Frank Damon and George P. Cas-
tie, who will forward the amount to
agents in Shanghai for distribution in
the best possibly way.
