PART H..
LAND SALE.

Messrs. +. p. Adams & Co. had
sundry lands to sell at auction, under
foreclosure of mortgage, this noon.
In one or two cases the mortgages
were satisfied beforehand. A half
interest in 30 acres of land at Wal
kiki was put up, and bought by Mr..
Geo. c. Beckley for S1O75. An
acre and half at Kalihi was knocked
down to Cum On for 500. This
amount covering the mortgages on
whole series of four lots, the other
three were withdrawn. There was
an amusing incident connected with
this sale. The purchaser is a plan
tation manager for Sin Chong Co. i,
and this morning he asked the head
of the firm to go to the sale and bid
in that lot for him. Sin Chong pro-
missed to comply with the request,
and started the bidding at $3.50.
Somebody in the margin of the
crowd bid against him, and spirited
competition ensued. When, at
length, Sin Chong gave up the con-
test and the lot was knocked down
at $50, his amazement may be
imagined when the "lucky man"
came forward and revealed himself
as Cum On. The foolish fellow had
been all the time bidding against
his employer, who was faithfully re-
deeming his promise to buy the lot
for him.

Mr.. Englehardt, who is opening
business in Campbell's block, was
blandly informed by the Customs
authorities that suspicion had been
communicated from San Francisco,
that his packages contained opium.
He Indignantly repudiated the soft
impeachment, and the official inter
viewing him said his word would be
taken for it. However, Mr.. Engle-
hardt said he was just starting in
business, and could not afford to
rest under the slightest shade of
such a suspicion. Accordingly he
asked Deputy-Marshal Dayton to
provide police supervision for the
unpacking process. His request
was complied with, and all his
goods were opened out in presence
of police officers. They comprised
no opium.

IN CHAMBERS.

IN CHAMBERS.
Mr.. $. l.. Austin, with Messrs.
Ashford & Ashford, his attorneys,
appeared this morning before Justice
Preston and filed q bill of complaint
in equity against G. Brewer d Co.,
a corporation, and Messrs. p. G.
Jones and Joseph o. Carter, defen-
dants, praying for an accounting TO
be had between the said defendants
on the one hand, and plaintiffs on
the other hand. The plaintiffs are
S. l.. Austin and his two sons,
Franklin II. and Herbert c. Austin,
who are well known as sugar planters
at Onomea, in the island of
Hawaii. The bill of complaint,
covering no less than fifty folios
of legal cap, recites questions
touching the relationship between
planter and agent, and alleges that
defendants in acting as plaintiffs
agents, have charged commissions
where they had no right to. Thsi
case will affect the interest of every
planter and agent in the kingdom.
His Honor appointed Monday the
10Th inst, as the last day for de-
PENDANTS to file answer.
John Alfred Magoon appeared
before the Chief Justice this morn
ing and filed his petition, asking
that he be admitted as Il member of
the bar. The petitioner exhibited
to the Court his diploma from the
law school of the University of
Michigan, U. S. A. The Court
ordered the clerk to issue license
upon payment of the usual fees,
which being done the petitioner was
granted license to practice before
all courts of the kingdom.
Mr.. William Foster was also
placed on the roll of attorneys of
the Court, on presentation of his
diploma from the Yale Law School
and certificates from the Supreme
Courts of Connecticut and Califor-
MIA. His license will date from Aug.
1st, 1888, the date of his commission

funeral took place yesterday after
noon, and was largely attended, the
Rev. III. ii. Parker conducting the
services. Mrs. Nowlein was re-
moved to her own house, and is re-
covering from her injuries. She re-
members nothing that occurred be-

revival to consciousness. The horse
was standing near her with the dam
aged vehicle when she opened her
eyes, SO that he must have run but a
short distance and then turned back.

Ship Carpenter and Boat Builder

HAS on hand and for sale various
IL sized surf boats, constructed on
an improved principle of my own in.
vention, each frame being of one piece
across the keel, The frames are closer
together, ard the boats are therefore
lighter and less liable 10 bilge in, than
boats Of any other build. Each side
plank and gunwalc is in one piece from
stem 10 stern, and is consequently not
liable TO strain, there being no midship

Mr.. Thompson, an English blood,
who said he was going to bring to
Honolulu fine horse to show the
people, and who has been sporting
at the Hotel of late, twice attempted
to stow away on the S. S. City of
Sydney Sunday morning. He was
elected both times, but on the third
attempt to secrete himself he is said
to have been successful, in spite of
the vigilance of officers who were
set to watch him. If Mr.. Thompson
is handed over to the authorities in
the Colonies, it is said to mean three
months Imprisonment.

lT proves that the fire alarm on
Saturday was not a false one. The
bell of Engine Co. No. 4, Nuuanu
street, was sounded for fire in Il
house on small lane opposite Kukui
Place. Chinese residents of the
locality put the flames out, after a
pull mattress and pillow had been
burned. A little boy playing with
matches had produced the incipient
fire. Mr.. j. G. White, survey en-
gineer of the fire department, ascer-
tanned these facts by investigation
after the alarm had subsidized.

The incidents attending the birth and

Empress Eugene, cost $4,000 francs.
Of course this money came from the
taxpayers. The father died an exile,
the son was butchered by a savage in

childless, is eking out a sorrowful ex-
istence. All is vanity" except the

Bad Outlook for Cotton Mills.

Cotton and cloth are the two
principal markets in which this city
is interested, and just at this time
the quotations are scanned with
much anxiety. The staple trade
has got into such a Wretched condi-
ton that it has become mere ques-
ton of endurance, in which the
ability of the mills to keep running
is quite as much tested as is that Of
the working people to live on the
wages which they receive, and
which are at the lowest notch. EN-
ployers and employed are alike
suffering, and it is now generally
admitted that the last cut-down In
wages, like that of the preceding
year, did not benefit the Alanufac,
turers, while it did still further i'm
poverish the help. Since the re-
duction cloth prices have esaa...o
the down grade, and there IS rs
better outlook for them. How
much longer the manufacturers will
be able to stand the strain it is
hard to say, but the end is not far
off unless cotton cheapens or cloth
gets into more active demand. The
operatives fully realize the. situa-
ton, and the agitation for a strike
has almost wholly subsidized Fall

Intelligent People.

Intelligent people, truthfully says an
exchange, have all the advantage in the
world over equally good people who are
not intelligent. They have the adgan-
tage in social influence. No matter
where they may go, they are welcome
and can get along smoothly and nicely.
They have the advantage in getting de-
sirable positions. In fact, intelligent
people usually get the good positions in
politics, and in trade everywhere, be-
fore the others know anything about
them. They have the advantage in
money making. Everywhere, they get
the easiest work, and get the most
money for it. If there is a chance to
make good trade, they see it. Thus
intelligence helps people along in the
world. The par Mt who does not pro-
vide means by which his children can
become intelligent, is doing them a
great wrong. He is making them the
servants OF others. And yet how many
parents have no books and no papers in
their houses, content to raise their chill
dren to be drawers of water and heWers
OF wood for others.
This must be taken with many grains
of allowance. If only intelligent men
get Office, why do We hear of so much
incompetence, and sometimes suits to
eject them on that ground Men in
telligent in the line OF political wire
working, or ballot box stnffing, may get
offices, and not have that kind of intel
ligence necessary for the proper dis
charge of the duties Of the Office.
