Some time ago the county invested in five road graders and reports from the overseers who are using them are very gratifying. It is claimed that the big graders will do the work of 40 men with shovels and that one mile of road can be graded in a day with six mules to one of the graders and three men to operate it. As fast as the grading is done the road Is graveled and in this manner the commissioners claim that much better progress is being made in road building than ever before in the history of the county.

Cullman, September 12.-(Special.)-lt is currently reported in Cullman that the Louisville and Nashville railroad com pany is making preparations to move the passenger and freight depot to a site north of town near what is known as the oil tanks.

ANGLO AMERICAN
MEETING JULY 8
WALTER q, SMITH AND T. OLIVE
DAVIES WILL BE THE
SPEAKERS.

Appointed yesterday morning at ten
O'Clock, by ten O'Clock last night the
subcommittees having in hand the mat
ter of date and program for the
Anglo.American mass meeting had about
completed their duties The orators for
the meeting have been selected and
interviewed, the date for the meeting
has been determined upon, the arrange
ments necessary to have the operahouse
packed Gave practically all been made.
The meeting will take place one week
from today, in the operalouse commence
ing at eight O'Clock in the evening.
Walter g. Smith, by all odds the best
speaker in the city, will address the
meeting on behalf of the Americans. Il.
Give Davies, another excellent speaker,
will represent the British citizens of
Honolulu and speak for them in their
advocacy of the resolution to be pre-
sented, urging upon the governments Of
America and Great Britain the ratifca-
tion of general and unlimited arbi-
tration treaty.
There viii be no services in Central
Union Church nor the Methodist Church
that evening, and it is expected that
the Christian Church will also be closed
for the occasion, to allow the members
of the congregation TO attend the meet
ing if they choose, The services in the
various Episcopal churches will be made
brief and will be over in time to allow
the members to attend the meeting.
Father Valentin will take up with his
bishop the matter of so arranging the
services of the various Roman Catholic
churches that the members of those CON
gregations will also be able to attend
the peace meeting.
The services of Herr Berger's or
chestral musicians are to be requested
for the affair, while there will be other
special music arranged for.
This is what the two subcommittee,
consisting of Doctor Scudder, +. M.
Swanzy and George r. Carter, for
speakers and resolutions, and James
Wakefield and A. r. Griffiths, for gem
eral arrangements, have done. In twelve
hours work they have made the sue
cess of the meeting certainty.
1t is probable that advantage will
be taken of the fact that the operahouse
has four special boxes to issue special
invitations to few to occupy them.
1t has been suggested that Governor
Frear be invited to occupy one of the
boxes; that the British consul general,
Ralph G. f. Forster, be rendered the
use of another; that in the event of the
British cruiser Challenger being delay
ed until that evening through the sick
ness of her commander, the officers be
invited to occupy box, and that the
fourth box be offered the presidents of
the chamber of commerce and the mer-
chants association.

MADAME PELE IS
KICKING UP FUSS

An enthusiastic bunch Of travellers
returned by the Mauna Kea yesterday
morning after a visit to Kilauea,
among them being "Mayor" P. w.
Rider of the Kakaako Mission, who has
just spent ten days at the Volcano
House, most Of the time at the edge
of the pit as supernormally red face
eloquently testifies.
Kilauea is more active than it has
been for the past three months accord
ing to their tales and is now building
up and overlooking on the third ledge,
below which it had formerly sunk if
teen or twenty feet. The island, which
formerly filled almost half of one side
of the pit has broken in two and half
of it has been absorbed in the molten
lava, only the largest rock now stand
ing and showing every indication of
preparing to follow the rest of itself
down into Madame Pele's private par
lors.
Demothenes Lycurgus, manager of
the Volcano House, returned to town
again yesterday after a flying visit
to his bailiwiek and expects to see
even the last bit of the island gone
when he goes back.

PUBLIC DRINKING
CUP is BAMSHED
CFrom Sundays Advertiser,


Yesterday was the day upon which a
lot of things happened. Not to men
tion the facts that the hackdrivers
were attending the police station en-
masse for renewals of permits, that
the liquor commissioners were making
the supervisors present of $22,5OO,
that three thousand merchants and
shopkeepers were inhicting the board
of health and city treasurer with
clamorous cries for licenses, there were
SO many other things that it would be
impossible to mention them.
Ask julius Asch, Jr. Julius, whose
quiet, transformations and gentlemanly
presence as chief clerk of the police
department of Oahu has been as oil
unto the wheels of criminal admins
tration for two or more years, and
who presides over the destinies of the
subdued, quiet sanctum sanctorum of
the county sheriff, yesterday morning
walked over to the water cooler and
prepared to slake thirst engendered
by two hours of work over the close
of the fiscal year.
AS he was about to do so, khaki
clad gentleman who bore on his hat
the insignia of the board Of health,
instead of the police, quietly touched
him on the arm, pocketed the glass,
and walked off, whereupon Asch sadly
prepared to put on his coat and go
across the street.
Yesterday was the last day upon
which public drinking cup could ex-
list in Honolulu. There may be water
coolers galore, but there may be no
more glasses upturned beside them in
wiling the moral example of the tenn
perance advocate.
The new order is certainly sad,
sad blow to the cause of temperance,
but then it is just as much of victory
for the cause of the anti-tuberculosis
propagandists and those who are work
ing for the removal of sources 0r con-
tagion of this common and most de.
vastating disease-as well as of Others

probably attracted 60 some rlaco where
they may have supposed there was an
ancient burial cave. Suddenly the
ground gave way beneath them and
they began 70 slide. Il was not exact.
" a slide for life, but they slid and
finally plunged into a hole.
The hole was full OF water and this
broke their fan and probably saved
their lives, But any one who has ever
fallen into mountain pool, or slid
down the side Of a mountain knows
how treacherous is the soil. On arriv.
ing in the water the officers found that
it would be almost impossible TO get
out. They were in an unfrequented
place, far from their column, and their
absence would probably not be noted
for hours,
For twelve hours they were prisoners
in that opening, although eventually
they succeeded in getting out of the
water to ledge. Fortunately each Of
feer carried tabloid meal, the emer-
gency ration, which is composed of
various edibles compressed into a cake,
This served to keep them from becom-
ing extra hungry. Finally help arrived
and they gained their liberty.

HAWAIIAN EVANGELICAL ASso-
CITATION STARTS CRUSADE FOR
TEMPERANCE.

That a campaign for temperance will
be carried on during the coming year
By the Hawaiian Evangelical Associa-
ton is evidenced by resolution provid-
ing for an educational campaign and
pledge-signing, which was passed at the
meeting on Thursday.
Rev. j. P. Erdman stated last even
ing that the association had gone on
record as favorilg campaign for tenn
Relance, but it had passed no resolutions
IN general in regard to the liquor traffic.
The resolution which was introduced
at the meeting this week provided for
committees being formed on each island
to get signers to the total abstinence
from alcoholic liquors pledge.
In addition to getting the pledge
signed among their friends and others,
and in connection with this work, a
campaign of education is to be carried
Ou by the various committees in their
districts, showing the effects of alcoholic
beverages and liquors on the human
system.
The work to be done this year prom
Uses far greater success, according to
the delegates, than more radical resoIu-
tions for the abolishing of the. traffic

Yesterday afternoon all the delegates
were received in audience by ex-Queen
Liliuokalani, the trip from Kalihi being
made in three special ears of the
Rapid Transit company.

BELIEVES IN FREE
GARBAGE SERVICE

Governor Frear is q believer in q
free garbage service and thinks plan
for slight increase in the tax rate
to meet the cost is meritorious. He
said yesterday:
AS a rule / believe people should
pay directly for benefits received. in
this case, however, everybody would
make use of the service and it would
not be case of some people paying
for privilege enjoyed by others. It
would be better if the tux would be
levied on the city itself, but this does
not appear TO be feasible under present
conditions.'
The Governor considers the matter
of vital Importance to the public from
the standpoint of health and says the
public health would be better protect
ed by making the garbage service free.
He feels, therefore, that it might be
wise to have a slight increase in the
tax rate in order to provide this free
service.
The suggestion is that the tax rate
ON Oahu be increased one-twentieth OF
one per cent, to provide the City and
County of Honolulu with a free garbage
service and double the present facilities
thar are in use by the authorities.
The garbage department is at pres.
ent under DIR. w. L. Moore, city and
county physician. He is not in favor
of an absolutely free collection, but
thinks a nominal charge should be
male. He thinks free collection
would lead people TO expect much more
than could be accomplished by the force
at the command Of the garbage depart
ment.

Anglo-Americanism was amply illus

brilliant ball given in honor of the
officers of the British cruisers Kent and
Challenger at the Moana Hotel, where,
not only the British officers were pres
ent in evening uniform, but large
number of American army, navy and

harmonious blending with the beautiful
gowns of large assemblage of society

Captain Farquhar of the Kent was
present and the ranking officer of the
Challenger on duty, was also in at
tendance, Captain Gaunt being unable,
on account of illness, to grace the oc-
casion with his presence, The British
consul, the Japanese consul and many
other representative of foreign coun.

The hotel was appropriately decorat-
