DIR. A. t. SHALLENBERGER,
Rochester, Pa. Dear Sir:
i wish to say a word iu behalf of
your wonderful Chill Fever Pills.
Some months ago a friend. who
knew that my wife had been aftiic.
ted for months, sent me a pack
age of your pills. l gave them to
her and they cured her at once. A
neighbor, MIR. Perry, had suffered
with chills for more rhan year,
and had taken Quinine until his
hearing was greatly Injured. See
ing the cure wrought in my wife's
case, he procured a bottle of pills
and was speedily restored to per-
feet health.
| feel that this is due to you.
Very truly, Rev. j. D.. DAVIS.

Hon. d. L. Naone, Col. J. H. Boyd and
representatives of the ADVERTISER, Ike
Alakai Hawaii, Pae Alma and ''Ma-
kaainana. The worthy Bandmaster,
Mr.. Henry Berger, presided.
A few minutes after o'clock the Hon.
D. L. Naone said grace and all sat down
to the elegant spread. After full justice
was done to the good things, Band
master Berger made speech and gave
the reason for the social. 1t appears
that Just a year ago fifteen of the band
bows decided to put little money away
each month. They all kept faithfully to
their decision, and the result is that yes
terdav, the first anniversary OF their
society, they have over $1,000 IN their
treasury. The sum over the thousand
dollars they decided to spend in having
last nights social. This act on the part
of the boys is very commendable and a
worthy example.
Speeches were made during the even
ing by Hon. D. L. Naone, j. M. Poepoe,
Col. Boyd, the representative OF the AD-
vERr1sER, and Bandsmen Kappa, Naone
and Aylett. "Hawaii Ponoi" was then
sung, and the company rose from the
table. The balance of the evening was
spent in singing and social intercourse.
The whole affair was exceedingly pleas
ant and enjoyable.

The Custom House Changes.

The principal topic of conversation on
on the streets yesterday was the dismis-
sal OF the five employees of the Custom
House. A large number of Chinese re-
turned passports are missing, and the
Government on learning of the facts at
once recommended that owing to the
unsatisfactory state of things at the Gus
tom House, the five employees be dis
missed. This was at once done.
1t is probable the following appoint
ments will lie made: Port Surveyor, f.
Turrill; Assistant Port Surveyor, John
Good. Jr. j; Assistant Store Keeper, F. B.
McStocker; Statistical Clerks, j. w.
Colville and ]. B. Gibson.
