Louis and Kekumu, two Hawallans,
lie dead at their homes In Kakaako and
Alakea street, respectively, and their
fate can be laid at the door of none but
themselves. Had they possessed more

the Coroner's Jury, but they were poor
Ignorant fellows who knew that, by
taking alcohol Into their "stomachs,
they could, for a short time, forget
the cares of the world.
At about 12 noon on Saturday, Louis
and Kekumu went to a drug store ana

of tho former In Kakaako, near Jim
Qulnn's stables, and proceeded to drlmt
tho, contents of the bottle. They had
not long to wait before the effects were
apparent and tho more Intoxicated they
became, trie more they drank.
Tho drunken debauch kept tip

PETITION to BE MADE
FOR REDUCTION OF RATES
Anticipate Water System Will
Presented to Town When
The Municipality Is
Organized.
Be
Wailuku, July 21. Tho kickers
against the present schedule of water
rates In this town'ljro Increasing every
day. They claim that tho rates should
bo lower as ovcry lot In this town Is en
tiled to water rights, and theio is no
necessity for tho extra charges for wn
tcrlng nnimnls and Irrigating ganlcnj,
as all tho water required for thoBo pur
poses could be obtained from tho pres
ent ditches (lowing through each lot
Some oven go to the extent nnd claim
that the water pipes which cost the go-
crnment nearly $30,000 should bo pre
sented to the citizens ot Wailuku, and
that the charges for water pipes should
bo not more than what Is actually re
quired for meeting running expenses
such as salary of superlntendi'nc, etc.
In fact, they claim that tho citizens of
Kahulul should be taxed more for wa
ter because they hao no water right,
nnd that tho latter will get their wa
ter from Wailuku through tho new sys
tem only under tho present possessors
of water rights.
Somo o I our citizens seo no rea
son or justice In our water rutes bcins
madctho same as Honolulu rates,
for very few people, If any own water
lights tallonoluluand aro furnished wa
ter by the government at great expense
through tho government mains and
likewise by means ot expensive pump
ing plants, which luxuries will not bo
required in Wnlluku, for there la al
ways a plentiful supply of mountain
wnter from Ino valley stream.
Thes are Bomo of tho burning qucs-
tlons that aro worrying the minds of j
our public spirited citizens. They1
nrguo that our present wntr system '
has been tho first real public improve
ment that Wailuku ever enjojeil for a
number of ycurs past, nnd that the pal
try appropriation ot (30,000 fulls Into
Instgnillcnnco when compared with tho
several hundred thousands of dollars
from Maul taxes that lmvo been turned
Into tho government treasury, part of
which went for paying the sewerage
system ot Honolulu.
Judgo Kalua, Oeo. Hone, Jno. T. AI11
li, W. T. ItoblnBon nnd many others
are firm In their belief that the rates
are cxhorhltant, unjust and should be
reduced. In fact Mr. lions has already
signified his Intention ot taking a peti
tion around to protest to the govern
ment against establishing permanently
tho published rates.
Tho leading citizens ot Wailuku ex
pect tho present wnter system to bo
given or presented to tho municipality
as soon as municipal latvs aro estab
lished, as there are men here who nre
tapnblo ot running our own affalis
when wo nru glu-ii that form of gov
ernment. Jus. T. Taylor has heard and was
present at some of tho spirited argu
ments advanced against the high rates
In Wullukti, but, ot course, Mr. Taylor
Is only an cinployo of tho Department
of Public Works, und would do uothlug
to ameliorate tho present conditions.
However, he ran lay before tho Hoard
the unitulmouH opinion of Wnlluku
citizens w ho declare (lie rates as un
just and unfair.

One ot tho oldest Hawaiian mission
ary pamphlets has Just been reprinted.
Its title page Is as follows:
"Memoir of Kcopuolanl Late Queen
of tho Sandwich Islands. "Kings shnll
bo thy nursing fathers, and their
Queens thy nursing mothers.' lloston:
Published by Crocker & Hrowster, No,
CO, Cornhlll, 1825."
Professor Alexanders Initials arc
Blgncd to an "Introduction" to tho re
print, saying: "Tho present seems to
bo nn appropriate tlmo to reprint this
brief memoir of tho Queen Kcopuolanl,
tho earliest convert to Christianity nt
tho Hawaiian Islands. Sho was a wor
thy compeer of Kaplolanl nnd Knahu
mnnu, and her life gavo signal evidence
of tho transforming power of tho gos
pel. This narrative was drawn up by
Ilov. W. Ulchards at l.ahalna In 1824.
At that tlmo tho orthography of tho
Hawaiian langungo had not yet been
settled, but it has not lieen considered
necessary to chango tho original spell
ing, except In enso of evident mis
prints.. Tho proceeds arising from the
sale of this little hook nro to bo given
to the Hawaiian Mission Children's So
ciety." "Mother" Castlo, widow ot the late
S. N. Castlo, pays the cost ot the re
print.
Tho little work is of great Interest
from its clear mirroring of the start ot
Christianity In Hawaii, its simple nar
ration of facts rvlative to Kamchnino-
ha I. and his wars, and two Illustra
tions furnished with numbered keys.
One of these depicts n walling scene
drawn from the actuality nt Kcopuo
lnnl'u death. Tho other Is u represen
tation ot her funeral at Lahalna, the
first public ceremonial lu which tho
Hnuallans woro European dress. High
chiefs bore tho kahilis and acted us
pall-bearers ut this first Hawaiian
stute funeral. It was the queen's dying
request that sho should have Christian
burial, nnd that tho heathen orgies
customary on tho death of n high
chief bo omitted. These are somo of
her words:
"Let not my body bo disturbed. Let
not my bones be separated and tho
flesh taken off, as In tho days of dark
hearts; but let my body he put In a
coffin. Let tho teachers attend and
speak to tho people nt my Interment.
Let me ho burled In tho ground nnd let
my burial bo after tho manner of
Christ's people."
Keopuolnul was born In 1TT8 at Pa
hoehoe, district ot Wailuku, Maul. Her
father's family hud gowned tho Isl
and ot Huwull for many generations.
Shu was regurded ai of higher rank 1
than Kuniehniueha or any of tho other
chiefs. As an Instance of the reverenco
In which she wns held, at a hula CO
miles from where she wus visiting,
when her nnmo wns mentioned all pres
ent stripped thembclvcs ot ornaments.
At tho age ot 13 sho became the wife
ot Kumehnmehu. Owing to her rank,
however, sho was allowed to liae two
husbands. After sho had accepted
Christianity, Kamehnmeha being dead,
sho was tho wlfo ot Kalalmoku nnd Ho
aplll. Sho Inquired of tho missionaries
ns to thu propriety of having two hus-
buuds. They told her that Christian
females never had more than ono hus
band. She Immediately chose Hoaplll
as her only husband, nnd dismissed
Kalalmoku from that relation.
Manyo f tho high chiefs, alter her
death, said Keopuolnul was never the
means of any person's being put to
ili-lli. ThU wus In referenco to the
murderous penalties of tho tabu,
Winn Keopuolnul was consulted by
the chiefs about putting uway tlin go-Is,
