Bromley, of the Bulletin, who kept him and his soubriquet constantly in the hmeligiht, he contributed largely to the gaiety of nations. Bromley gave to him the title of City Mission ary, from whence the 'fMish's for short, and there was never week that his name and some imaginary or fanciful doings of his were not chron- icled in the Bulletin.

 There were great doings in Water and Commerce streets in these days, and a long list of names of merchants on those streets might be given; men of kindly disposition and stout hearts, some of them not given to the usages of polite society possibly others of more sedate visage and mien, but all of them ready for a little fun and none so squeamish as to resent a joke upon himself.

The present strs1c- ture, erected by the late Wareham Williams, whose residence was on Broadway at the corner of Broad street, was occupied by the firm of Williams and Chester for many years as a dry-goods store, and still east of their store were the Reynolds build ing and the narrow Cook building, now merged in the Shannon building.
 The BusweIi building has occupied it's present site for many years with but few changes, but on the corner now occupied by the Norwich Savings Society stood a low structure with a leaning roof, occupied by Captain S. R. Parlin as a jewelry store, who also had at one time, store in the Bus well building. Near this low build ing and between it and what is now called the Cooke block, containing the Raphael store, was a vacant paved space, an approach to the saloon of Charles H. and afterward Charming Bailey, the ground occupied by it and the buildings mentioned being now oc- cupied by the Norwich Savings Soci- ety.

THE SPECIAL BOND ELECTION.

Not ony the wise course but the imperatiyely
necessary course taken by the board of super
yisors last night in calling for a special election on
water and sewer bond issues next February.

only "A matter Of convenience but matter Of public
safety To delay sewering all this district is TO

need of sewers This portion of the bond issue pro-
posaIs is to not merely an Improvement but an
emergency
The waterworks bond proposal stands in almost
the sane category of vital necessity. The suIervis-

covered in another portion of the bond proposals,

The sole objection urged against the election now
called is that the electorate in November turned
down bond proposals which included those now
brought up Supervisor Hatch disposed of this OBJ
lection at the public hearing last night, in few
concise words which contained an unanswerable ar
gunent. He showed that the verdict in November
has no particular bearing the verdict which will
be asked in February; that the issues are entirely
different; and that the emergency before the city
government ustifies it in submitting the subject of
water and sewer improvements once more to the
people.
In November the bond issues received majority

~THl5HRIsTMAs SHIP.

This years "Christmas Ship will go 10 the war

largely to Belgium. But Belgium, needy as that
submerged country remains, is not in the terrible

A United States navy collier will sail as Christ

New York early in December with a cargo of food

Contracts have already been made for the pur-

whole wheat $4,000 gallons of petroleum, 100000
pounds of sugar, 100000 pounds of rice 100000
pounds of crushed wheat 10000 barrels of flour, %
600 gallons of cotton seed oil.
The Star Bulletin has been advised that funds
urgently needed with which to pay for the above
cargo and with which, if possible to increase the
quantity.
Direct contributions of food and clothing are also
solicited, but military regulations preclude the ship
ment of any but new clothing. As rule the best
results will be secured through contributions OF
money with which the committee can purchase care
fully selected supplies in large quanhtes at mini
mum prices. Sewing societies and similar organi
cations, however, can render an invaluable service
by contributing to the following requirements in the
way of clothing: new warm underwear, sweaters,

DON'T BLAME THE SOLDIERS
Schofield Barracks. Hawaii.

Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
December IA, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: In this evenings issue of your
excellent paper Mr.. w. r. Castle is
quoted as saying: There is no rea-
son why Iwilei should be saddled on
Honolulu. Take it to Shafter or Soho
field. We don't want it"
How lid the impression ever get
abroad that the soldiers want such a
place any more than the civilians? In
the presence of an officer of the de-
partment staff and myself, Gen. Evans
positively told member Of the citi,
zens' committee that the place is a
nuisance; and some months ago the
Army Medical Society assembled at
Fort Shafter voted against it. So the
army does not want it.
Therefore, the responsibility for the
restricted district, School street and
Wahiawa rests upon the citizens. The
military authorities will not interfere
in civic affairs, but they can be de-
pended upon to prevent such a sore
from breaking out on this or any other
reservation.
Respectfully,
IGNATIUS FEALY,
Chaplain, LIST F. A.
