young German girl, disappeared from the
city last Monday, leaving note of fare
we'll addressed to her sister indicating an
intention to commit suicide. The canal
was dragged in search Of her body, but
without result. It was ascertained to-day

Madison & Indianapolis railway, and was
seen to leave the same at indianapolis,

a wealth of design and trained skill displayed in
the manufacture and finish of this ware. There
can be no more beautiful material, when hand

the water we drink-or the other fluids that
others indulge in. When there is added to the
surface such ornamentation as the lapidary i'm

as they are in Mossman's store we feel that we
need GO no further in our search for the beautiful.
There are less expensive articles in pressed ware
that are original and highly ornamental, and We

this year his display is unconmonly large and

f AND kUKUI ORNAMENTS.

Some years ago Mr.. EcKAET came TO Homo
lulu, bringing with him 4 fine taste trained to
the manufacture Of iewelry in many curious and
beautiful designs. He did much to improve the
taste Of the people in his art. and.to this day we
find Mr.. Max EcKART, established at Nos. lib
and lis Fort street, manufacturing most beauti-
full articles Of jewelry- More especially does he
exercise his art in the production Of delicate and
original articles from the kukui nut and shells.
We are, many Of us, familiar with the necklaces
and armlets that have been made from the
kukui nut by the natives, and many Of them are
very pretty. Mr.. Eekart takes these nuts and
mounts and polishes them until they resemble
beautiful Jet ornaments in lustre and blackness.
We have seen a butterfly With kukui nut wings
set with delicate golden and enameled spots,
with little diamond eyes and golden antenna,
that were simply exquisite. Anything into which
the material can be cut and carved can be made
by him, and in the setting and finishing Of shell
jewslry he is particularly skillfuI and original.
For q mementO Of the Islands in the shape of
jewelry these kukui and shell articles are ahead
Of anything we have seen. Any one having some
one thing that they prize as a relic of the past,
OF as peculiar TO the Islands, can trust to Mr..
Eckart's taste to have them mounted and en-
bellished in coed taste and workmanship. In
Mr. Eckart's store can be consulted Flitner's
standard clock for time, and In the show cases
are very many handsome articles Of jewelry. The
choice selection of plated ware displayed In the
large upright case at the back Of the store COM
prises many desirable articles selected with
