Clerks Salaries.

A subject that may be of interest to
some clerks was suggested to me last
week by grocery clerk who had become
dissatisfied because his employer would
not raise his salary. He is inclined to
think that his employer is selfish; in
plain words that he wants to make as
much money as he can without recogniz-
ing the clerks value as helper. The clerk
may be right, but the chances are that
he is making the same mistake that so
many clerks labor under. They are all
anxious to increase their earning capa-
city. Conservative business men do not
look at the amount they expend for a
clerk. The question with them is: How
much money can he make for me? Sell
fishness is part of human nature that
is found to some extent in all men, but
its existence in the grocer does not work
to the disadvantage of the clerk On the
contrary, the clerk can profit by it when
he is brought to understand the situation.
The selfish man is willing to reward ca
pacity and fidelity literally, not because
he Is generous, but because it is his in
terest to secure better services and better
returns.
If you want to rise in your employers
estimation show him that you are de-
voted to his interests and work hard to
further them. Study your customers and
endeavor to please them and get new
ones. One of the best points you can
make is to know the business thoroughly.
This inspires the clerk with feeling of
confidence in himself that enables him
to do business in a more satisfactory
manner to himself and his employer, to
say nothing of the good impression he
leaves on the customers.
Your employer watches you carefully
when the subject of increasing your
wages comes up, and he will weigh the
matter in his mind with the same bal
ance that weighs other business matters.
If he sees that you are devoting your
energies to his interests and making
money for him your chances are much
better than those of clerk who does
simply what he is paid for, and appears
to be uninterested in the business be-
yond his salary or dissatisfied because he
does not get more money.-[Chicago

HILO NEWS LETTER.
Notes from the Rainy TOwn-Fire Pro
lection Needed.

Notes from the Rainy Town-Fire Pro-
lection Needed.
DeSay, the Portuguese storekeeper at
Hilo, whose case was tried at Waimea,
has been fined $3.50. Aiona, the Chin
csc merchant of Hilo, also arrested for
selling liquor without license, has not
been tried yet.
Jules Tavernier has just finished an
other of his superb paintings of the great
volcano Kilauea, somewhat different
from any he has previously painted. 1t
does him great credit. He has several
unfinished paintings, one of which is an
Indian camp, with camp fires, which
bids fair to be valuable work of art.
The little village of Hilo what it lacks
in size makes up in big feeling. Proba-
bly, it has had more newspaper CORE
spOndents than any town of it's size in
America, viz: Agoo, MikadO, HilOite,
Hiloides, Archimedes, Slim Jim, J. K.
Wrapper, No Joking, Joseph Cose, Euri-
pides, p. +. h. Simmons, Spectator and
J. a. NJ, the last mentioned for eight
years.
Hilo on the 18th inst. Sunday was
full of wasps that entered every house
and seemed to be having picnic. Many
wished they would go over to Cocoanut
island and hold their picnic. Their
moving around so lively reminded one
also of the great moving day in New
York. They caused many people to
move out of their way.
At the time of the late fire at Hilo the
need of a Hook and Ladder Company
was spoken of by many, but since then
no one seems to feel any interest in the
matter. Insurance must be higher here
than it would otherwise be, as there is
no protection against fire.
The town of Hilo is and has been for
some years swarming with elegant
writer's and words do such queer antics
to keep up with their notions that a
plain man is lost in the pursuit of their
meaning, and in a short time there can
be little doubt of a demand for an ele-
giant dictionary as interpreter. 1t is
needless to say that have scrupulously
endeavored to avoid interference with
elegant men who belong to the news
papers, and whatever may be said
against me by my enemies, [ shall try
hard to avoid the odium of being con-
demned for an elegant writer.

We LEARN from a New York paper,
that Mr.. William Nevins Armstrong,
who was born and passed his early years
in Honolulu, and who afterwards re-
turned to take the position of Attorney
General, has just dropped into what will
probably be very lucrative billet. He
has been appointed by Judge Andrews,
of the New York Supreme Court, one of
three commissioners to hear the claims
of property owners against the Elevated
Railroad Companies for damages, and
to appraise the amount of compensation
to be allowed. From the completion of
the roads to the present time suits for
damage to property have burdened the
court calendars. The number of these
suits has been very great, the aggregate
amount involved, enormous, and the re-
suit has almost invariably been that
juries have found verdicts for the plain
tiffs. According to the paper from
which we obtain our information, one
popularity of these damage suits has
been that they are, or may be made at
the option of the litigants, everlasting.
There is nothing in the law to bar man
who RECEIVERS $1,000 for present dam
ages to his freehold, from bringing suit
within three months for additional dam
ages Under these circumstances the
companies naturally desired to have
these tits removed from the hands of
juries, and to have specially appointed
commissioners to render final decisions.
In long and elaborate opinion, Judge
Andrews decides that under the laws of
the State, railroad companies may
acquire real estate in the manner de-
sired, and furthermore, "that the term
real estate as used in these statutes,
covers all the incorporeal hereditaments,
easements, rights and privileges which
it is sought to acquire in these various
This decision, from
which, we presume, an appeal can be
taken 20 the general term of the Su-
preme Court, and thence, if desired, to
the Court of Appeals, concludes as fol- |
lows: "My conclusion upon the whole !
matter is that all the objections should |
be overruled and that commissioners
should be appointed in each proceeding.
For the sake of uniformity and convent
snce 1 have concluded to appoint the |
same commissioners in all the proceed
Ings. In view of the magnitude of these !
and especially of the great |
difference of opinion between the officers
Of the petitioners and the property own
ers as to the value of the real estate to
be acquired, it is, OF course, of the highest
Importance that the commissioners

have entire confidence" The other
gentlemen appointed with Mr.. Arm
strong are Edward V. Loew and George
w. Lyon. Those who have lived at the
East, and who are familiar with the way
in which fees and commissions roll up
in this class of litigations, involving mil
lions, will realize how exceedingly snug

The Luso's Charge Against the Major
COntradicted.

The LusO's Charge Against the Major
COntradicted.
Mr.. EDITOR: Sir,-In a translation
from the O Luso Hawaiiano which ap-
pears in your columns of the 28th are two
charges against me of insulting Co. G,
Honolulu Rifles, by placing them last in
the formation of the Battalion and in
the shooting contest, on Nov. Is. 1888.
According to Upton, -" the authority"
when a Captain of Co. is absent tenn
porarily, said Co. is allowed to retain its
place in line. Therefore Co. @ had it's
proper place as second in rank on the
left of the battalion. The choice of
shooting was drawn by lot, the Nos. i,
2, 3, 4, being placed on separate pieces
of paper, and drawn by the respective
Co. commanders from a hat, the even
Nos. shooting together, and first; the
odd Nos. shooting together and last, and
Co.'s A and D drawing the even Nos,
and Co.'s @ and B drawing the odd Nos.
Hoping that hereafter when any news
paper of this city wishes to publish a
military statement, the editor will ascer-
tain the true facts of the case before
making charges which are unfOunded,
| remain, yours respectfully,

THE RETIRING PRESIDENT.
Notes from the American Press on Mr.,
and Mrs. Cleveland

Notes from the American Press on MI.
and Mrs. Cleveland.
President Cleveland's last annual mes
sage to Congress, like the document that
he sent in year ago, will be devoted al
most exclusively to the tariff He will
urge Congress, without regard to party
pollty, to pass bill for the reduction of
the revenues, and will urge the Demo-
Gratis, as we'll as the Republicans, to
make concessions in order that If NAV
be accomplished. The President intends
to go out of office as he came in. a
revenue reformer.
The President has told an intimate
friend that he will dispose of the famous
Oakview, arranging to give possession
shortly after the 4th of March. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cleveland would then go to Europe
and spend year or more. On their re-
turn the President will practise law in
the city of New York. Colonel Lamont
refuses to say what he has decided I'D,
on, but does not deny the story that he
will enter a large insurance firm in the
metropolis. Later information states
that arrangements are being made for
Cleveland to enter. and assume the man
agement of, large financial concern in
the East.
1t is worthy of note in this connection
to see how general and genuine is the
sorrow over the departure of the youno
mistress of the White House. Mrs
Cleveland was favorite of all who knew
her, and she was widely known, too. She
has been the recipient of perfect shower
OF regrets at the political misfortune
which will take her away from the ma
tional capital. Mr.. Cleveland, on the
other hand, had very few personal
friends.

Iowa ANN TAYLOR.
An Interesting Centenarian Dead
Her Childhood Lived Over
Again.

Iowa Ann Taylor, aged l1S
years, died at the home of her son,
Henry Clay Taylor, in this city,
Friday night. She was beyond
doubt the oldest person in the
West and it is certain that she was
within a very few years of the age
given. Papers in the possession of
the family show her to have been
born IN Norfolk, Va, December
25, 1875. She emigrated to Ken
lucky and subsequently, in 1880,
came to Missouri. She was the
property of General Abe Weldon,
Boone county, until the proclama-
ton freeing the slaves was issued
by President Lincoln. She refused
to leave her master for some years,
however, remaining, though very
old, Il faithful servant. \ few
years ago, her son, Henry Clay
Taylor, a well known old colored
man, brought her to this city,
where she remained until her
death. The old woman was very
bright, but her brightness was of a
childlike nature. Trifes pleased
her and she found the great-grand-
children of her oldest son quite
companionable. Her eyesight was
good but she never attempted to
use a needle or do any work. She
slept most of the time and for ten
years has been unable to recall any
incident of history or of her child
hood days. She was living her
childhood over.
