the treasury department and the depart

ly every line is showing decided i'm
provement. 1t is asserted that the ad-
journment of congress has acted as a
stimulant. At any rate, it is pointed
out, there has been a distinct revival

1t is asserted by persons who have
given some study to the business situa.
tiOn that two influences are now at
work to bring about genuine revival
in the manufacturing business. The
first Of these is the foreign demand,
and the second is the domestic demand,
catrsed by manufacturers not turniung
out goods enough to meet the normal
demands. q. .'.

SPECIAL INCOME
TAxFOR HARBOR

A " n
(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
How 70 maintain and improve the,
harbor Of Honolulu was the subject Of
conference yesterday between the
Legislation and maritime committee OF
the chamber Of commerce and the board
Of harbor commissioner. At It's annual
meeting last week, the chamber reject
cd . proposal to make the harbor self,
supporting by imposing tolls of ten
cents the ten on all incoming and out,
going freight that crosses the wharves.
Yarions proposals were put forward,
but the suggestion that seemed TO fnd
the m6st favor was that the present
immigration and conservation tax Of
two per cent on all incomes Of more
than $4,000 per year be applied TO the
harbor. tiT ......
Deficit $4,000 .ss
The tax expires this year by statu-
tory limitation, after having been In
operation six years. The yield from il
has varied with the fluctuations of 81
gar quotations and the consequent rise
and TALL Of Island incomes. Last year
IL yielded $l16,162. The harbor deficit
now stands at about $ls0,O00.
M definite recommendations were
adopted by the joint conference, which
appointed subcommittee to look into
the aatter further and report back to
the full committee at later date.
Probably the bill now before the
legislature viii be amended by its
sponsors, the harbor commissioners, TO
agree with the sentiment of the bust
ness community, as finally expressed
by the chamber Of commerce.

On September 4, 1888, the Gazette

parture Of the CrOcker party- rom Ho-
nolllu for San Francisco after an ex-
Tended stay. In the party were Mrs. IL,
-. Croeker, q Mrs. Amy /. Crocker'' and
commodore Henry NJ. Gillig, who later
became one of Aimee s husbands.
The departure was on August %, 1888,
in the steamer Australia. In command
of the ship at that time was Capt. II. Z,
houdlette, now master of the Oceanic
liner Sierra and who some months ago
was given local ovation on the occa.
sion of his hundredth voyage to the
Islands. Houdiette will be on the bridge

its next trip, and with his remarkable
memory may be able to recall the illus

on the Hawaiian throne, the same al

The company has been most kind and

adapted to our needs. We have been ex-

Some Of the Cases
II should like to tell you of q few
If the cases among our women.
"a woman of twenty-five came to us
one morning. Her face and lips were
blue. OF course we have all heard OF
people being blue with cold, but had
never seen 1t before. ..l...
"She had two children. Her husband
had deserted her before the last was
born, She had been seamstress and
had had no work for weeks. She had
gradually pawned her clothes until
nothing was left but the shabby coat
and skirt she was wearing.
II was Saturday morning when she
came to US and we asked her when she
had last had anything TO eat. She said
that ON the Wednesday before she had
been to the parish relief and that they
lad given her a loaf, q tin of treacIe
md pint Of milk--food for her, her
hid and seven -months.old baby. r..
Even Clothes Pawned s.. - Z =.
- We took her out and bought her
aourishing food and told her to come tc
me to work on Monday. She hest
lated and said she did not think she
was neat enough. Finally we found the
eason. She undid her coat and she
had nothing underneath it but a
chemise. She had pawned even her

and owners went into the game, and
the congestion of traffic they soon pro-
dueed IN the narrow Los Angeles
streets, as well as the protests they
drew from the street railway company,
carried them into the news column.
rkive-cent fare putOmObile' is too
clumsy for popular speech; as a head
line for news column it is impossible.
SO an ingenious head writer on the
desk of a Los Angeles paper evolved
''Jitney Bus" which had the double
merit of brevity and catchiness.
Simply Hobo Cant
+ The idea and the name travelled
fran one city to another Of the Pacific
Coast like wildfre, and soon spread to
the Middle West. Various origins of
jitney began to appear. Some said it
was a Yiddish word, others that it was
Russian for the smallest coin In circu-
lation within the territories of the
Czar--but that happens to be kopeck.
The philologists investiG ated and
were obliged TO report that the word
has no known origin. 1t is not Yiddish
or anything else but hobo cant. The
meaning, however, is unmistakeable-
