ROYAL ARCH CHAPTER.-Ata regular meeting held
December 18th, 1873, the following officers were in
stalled for the ensuing year:

NEW YEARs-With the natives this day has always
been observed as a general holiday, and no family is
so poor that does not strive for a little extra addition
to the bill of fare on New Years. The greeting Of "
happy new year, is addressed to every one they
meet, until it becomes rather monotonoHs, and, in
the case of the boat-boys-who, like their class in
other countries are loose and d~issipated characters
it amounts to an annoyance, because they solicit a
present in return. The practice Of seeing the old
year out and the new year in" is of late becoming
the fashion in Honolulu, and there were numerous
gatherings Of this nature last Wednesday night
among our residents, where social mirth and good
cheer reigned. The members Of Queen Emma Lodge
of Good Templars had a warm supper and improvised
a dance at their rooms, which was declared by q Wis
tier from New England 10 remind him forcibly of
similar scenes 6 at home New Years is a favorite
holiday with the Tuetons, and our friends Of the Ger
man Club enlivened the hours with songs Of Father
land. Squads of young lads perambulated the
streets, after midnight, singing and shouting the
Happy New Year > at the gates of sleeping resi-
dents. An amateur band with VINO instruments
went about sarenading. There was a midnight ser
vice at St. Adams, where the Rev. Mr.. Calder preached
a short discourse appropriate to the season. During
Thursday there was a general cessation from business
throughout the city. and the usual feasting, dinner
parties and New Years calls were enjoyed.

A WORD TO THE WISE. Whenever an attempt

WORD TO THE WISE. Whenever an attempt
is made by inuendoes, that dare not shape
themselves into positive assertions, to cast a
false light upon truth, it is sign of unquali-
fed Justification Now it has become truism,
acknowledged throughout the community,
that Banner Brothers, the great clothiers, pos
sess such facilities for purchasing of the raw
material and for the manufacturing of fine
clothing that competition has become an alb
sOlute failure; and when small concerns insin-
uate that they can sell good article of
clothing at as low prices as Banner Brothers
do, they simply intend to canvey meaning
that they dare not assert and cannot substa-
tiate. We throw down the gauntlet OF defiance
to these vaunters. and challenge them, one and
all. to benefit the public as we have done, and
are doing. by selling fine clothing al low prices.
We can afford to sell clothing much cheaper
than any other house in this State. and we do
it. Having factory and importing house at

every customer an immenCe stock to select

a small and poorly assorted parcel of shoddy

BURGLARS. - During the week

BURGLARS. - During the week
there has been several robberies COM
mitted, and others attempted. On
Thursday night the residence of the
proprietor of this paper was entered,
a pair of pants taken from the head
of the bed, watch. and chain and
several dollars in coin extracted
therefrom. The pants were found
in the morning on the lower floor,
where they had been left by the
robbers. The burglars gained an
entrance to the house through a
front window, which was left I'M
fastened accidentally, and made
their exit through door i'm the
basement. How the rascals could
come into the sleeping room without
disturbing either of the occupants is
beyond our comprehension, yet
such was the case. Hereafter we
advise all visitors of the kind to
give our place wide berth, as, in
the first place, we have nothing of
value to them or any one else, and
in the second, we are terribly averse
to parting with what little base bull
lion we have on hand, but will feel
compelled to give them a salute on
the occasion OF their next visit.

THE BLACK CRooK.-Our reporter failed to

the colors being changed to suit each varied
scene. The performance consisted of ANA
zonian marches, ballots, musical performan-
ces and acrobatic feats. The scenery repre-
scented ocean caves grottos, baronial hills and
the merry wild wood, with fairies dancing on
the green. 1t was noticed that there were not
as great a number of ladies in the audience as
usual. The closing scene of the entertain
ment was very fine, aud was universally adj
mired. 1t represented fairy grotto in a trop-
ical cline, with gigantic ferns, tall palms,
from whose branches depended long trailing
vines trees laden with golden fruit and a
crystal fountain, surrounded by nymphs and
mermaids. The performance will be re-
peated tonight, when new additions will be
made to the scenery.

BOLD ROBBERY. - On Thursday
night the residence of f. Kenyon.
situated in the lower end of town,

provided the likeness is not marred,
and no questions will be asked.

GOLDEN TRUTHS FROM THE WHITE House.
Serene as Summers day are those we'll
known and popular clothing men, Messrs
Cohn Il Isaacs, No. 16 south street, Virginia
The world wags well with them. People appre
ciate their goods, approve of their prices; and
admire their style of doing business. At the
WHITE HOUSE CLOTHING STORE are seen no
broils nor contentious with swindled custo
mers returning moth-eaten and inferior goods
No evasive protestations, that 81 didn't sell it
to you" and II didntrecommendit it, winding
up with 'your eyes were your market, sir. -
At the WHITE HOUSE old customers daily re-
turn bringing their friends with them, who
also become good customers. OF course to
some natures it is very calling to see a new
establishment like the WHITE House open
right under their noses, as it were, and achieve
marked and brilliant success; taking in the
very start a high position in public esteem.
and gaining greater share of popular favor
and patronage than many houses that have
beed hammering away for years. However,
these old houses should learn to grin and
bear it. Messrs. Cohn 4 Isaacs do not allude
to these things in any spirit of pride or tri-
umph; they simply state facts for the public
good. They do not doubt that it is gall and
wormwood to their neighbors to have custo-
mers of many years standing leave them and
CLOTHING STORE, but manifestation of temper
is in very bad taste. and really has bad effect
Being manifestly untrue it disgusts all hear
ers, and sends customers by scores to the
WHITE House. Such is life. SO mote it be-

A LONG Town BUILDING UP.-Not
only in this place and Gold Hill has
building been active this Summer,
says the Virginia Enterprise, but it
has also been very brisk all along
down Gold Canon to Silver City.
Indeed, but for few short breaks,
it might be said that already it is all
town all the way from Virginia to
Silver city. 1t is but a rod or two
between saloons, and shops, hotels
and lodging houses line the way.
These are not only there, but there
is demand for their presence. All
along the canon between Gold Hill
and Silver City are mills and hoist
ing-works, and the workmen en-
ployed in these are to be lodged, fed,
beveraged, barbered and otherwise
cared for. All are getting good
wages, therefore all are able to pay
tor what they require. Thus it hap
pens that all the boarding and lodg-
ing houses are filled with paying
customers and the landlords are
happy and content, as well as the
people about.
