eft hanging out al the old quarters on Merchant
ltreet has at last been taken down according to our
suggestion.
But little business came up this week before the
Police Court. For q CITY of this size there is yerv
little lswlessness here. In comparison with other
seaport towns that contain half its population,
Honolulu is 3 paragon of peace and order.
TIE funeral of the late W. Moriarty took place

ran aground just outside the hsrbor. The bark
Kalakaus was coming IN at the time aud the
harm was done however as she struck q sand bar
and quickly got on again.
THE Telephone Company are putting up some
higher poles for wires on Merchant street, on the
Waikiki side OF Fort street. Instead Of putting up
these huge, ugly threatening poles the company
should make their wires into cables where they are
enough in number TO require new support.
TEE other day 4 carriage driver asleep in his
cab, was noticed coming down Merchant street.
The horse took first one side of the road and then
the other, and finally ran into a telephone post
and woke up the dro1sy driver. Such Negligence
- AOh W
VS. notice that brick mason's : clerks - at work
on new buildings in this city carry their loads
Of bricks not in hods on the shoulders but on
pieces OF boards in their hands. 1t would seem
that by using shoulder hods the work would be
much easier and less men would be required TO
supply q given number Of masons.
If you happen to meet q modest youth with q
cork hat, q " cooked " eye and the inexpressibla

may be considered harmless, except that he has an
sppaliihg mein.

ing the portion oil her cargo consigned to this port
here when she returns 10 China.

Ir is very remarkable that prominent business
prefer to cover the sidewalks III
front of their business places with wheelbarrows
and patent blacksmiths' FORCES, by way of adv6e-
Using their goods instead of patronizing a news
paper. Nowhere in this city are the sidewalks any
too wide. and when they are thus half blocked
it is difficult for persons to pass each other
side by side without being crowded into the
drains along the side of the street.
Bill Homai, an elderly native was yes terday
on the charge of HOUSEKEEPING and steal
1t seems that Bill broke open the cottage
door of a Portuguese living on King street in the
nsighbOrhood of Judge BickertOns residence, and
watch and 81 or So are missing. A small piece
Of iron was used to force the door open. The
offender was caught in the act of leaving the
place.
We have frequently noticed the bad habit of
loading lumber across the sidewalks. and yesterday
the sidewalk on one side of Fort street below J,
Queen was half covered with posts. On the Opp0-
site side of the same street the sidewalk was Gov
sered with lime an inch or two deep. If we can
get good sidewalks furnished we ought TO keep
them in q condition TO be used.
YESTERDAY Mr. Thomas Lucas received q fine
launch, named the Lydia, from San Fran
cisco per Caibarien. In the afternoon, about 4
o'clock, she was launched from the old Custom
house wharf, and a party consisting Of Mr.. Thomas
Lucas, Mr.. Robert Moore, Mr.. Andrew Brown,
Mr.. Edward Tenny and an ADVERTISER reporter
went on board Of her for a trial trip in the harboC.
As soon as steam could be gotten up the Lydia
moved off in right gallant style. A large crowd
altered TO witness the first trial Of her navigating
qualities. Although only a very moderate pres
of steam was used the launch attained a con-
siderable rate of speed under the manage
nent of Messrs. Moore and Brown As el-
and q pleasant little cruise past the
y. S. S. Hartford out along the channel and re-
was thoroughly enjoyed. The Lydia is about
5wenty feet in length and capable of
ng about ten or twelve passengers. She is veTS
'olidly built of timber grown in England. MI.
will use her solely for purposes Of pleasure
or which she is we'll adapted, having an aWaning
10 screen her passengers from both the sun and
,omke from her furnace. Her machinery Is very
simple and easily manipulated.
