MR.. EDITOR If Mr.. Ben Hogan
feels such Il deep sense Of gratitude
to the good people of Honolulu, as
he says he has, it is certainly a
very strange mode of evincing
same, when he makes, or even al
lows, the said good people to shell
out the money to pay for his pro-
posed show business. Who is to be
benefited by the same except Mr.. B.
II I fail to perceive. If he chooses,
as o commercial spec, to get up a
series of Hawaiian views or any
other country under the sun, and
bears the cost of SO doing himself,
well and good no one has, then,
right to say word about it. But
the case is totally different when a
person comes here, and under the
plea of benefting this country, gets
people to subscribe for his private
show racket, then the people have
a perfect right to know the why
and wherefore.
AS regards Mr.. H. kind offer of
$50 for a series of sixty Hawaiian
slides, l have much pleasure in &C
cepting same; but as l did not say
that | was the author of the slides,
or that [ kept them for sale in
Honolulu, Mr.. 81. will require to
allow me time to order them from
the makers and here, at this
point, may [ ask, why Mr.. Hogan
mentions 60 views and not So, the
number I quoted.
Itls said "money talks" [ am,
therefore, prepared to lodge with
the editor of this newspaper Con
Mr.. Hogan doing the samel the
sum of $50. Mr.. Hogan's $50 to
be held in payment for the slides,
and my $50 to be forfeited either
to Mr.. Hogan or to any charitable
institution in Honolulu in case of
failure to deliver the goods or. If
Mr.. Hogan lodges $40 with the
editor, [ will do the same, and will
undertake to have the slides
"painted artistically." In case of
failure on my part, the money to
be forfeited, as in the foregoing
case. / will further undertake to
furnish written proof from "a COM
petent authority at shipping, and
that the slides are "painted artis-
tically."

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER.
1t is hardly necessary to direct the
attention OF the public to the fact that
pure water is one OF the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
OF our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into a
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the or
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. 1t
is displacing the old slow-working filters
in the United States.

Turn, turn my wheell Turn round and

without 5 pause, without a sound:
So spies the flying world away;
This CLAW, well mixed with mari and sand
Follows the motion of my hand;
For some must follow and some command
Though all are made OF clay
That reminds us! Do you
admire the beautiful in art as
applied to Pottery? Yes
Then look in at the few odd
pieces we have in our cases.
They are only the first words
in the chapter from the fascin-
ating story the piles of un-
packed casks will tell to your
eyes a month hence. Too
much elegance at once is
worse than too little. Well
give it to you in moderate
doses.
The world is full of humbug,
and there's alavays a market
for it; pottery humbug and
other sorts: people like it
hence it fourishes. But have
you ever seen any humbug
about RooKwooD? We hav'nt,
neither have you, and yet the
trade in it is Aourishing. Pot
terry is too plebeian a word to
use in this connection, but the
photographers say they can't
find one elegant enough to
mix with it, and combining the
two lifts Pottery from the hum
bic position it has occupied SO
many thousand years. RooK-
WOOD deserves something bet
ter, but we can't coin names !;
perhaps yow can suggest one?
If you wear a moustache
and drink tea or coffee,
you've noticed that you have
to wipe your fascinater every
time you take a mouthful of
either beverage. It's a lot of
bother, and the napkins are
solled at every meal. You
can't do without a napkin, and
you wouldn't part with your
moustache for a trihe. The
chances are that the person
who invented the means to
avoid such trouble and dirt
was a woman. They're full Of
good ideas, and the Moustache
Cup is one of them. If your
husband has a moustache and
soils the linen with it, he ought
to have a cup. If your boy
has a suspicion ola moustache
he'll think he must have one
to save annoyance. You'd
better get him one it won't
hurt you, and it'll make him
feel lots bigger. We have
them in Haviland, and you
can get one Or a dozen.

A BURGLAR.
Major Ennis and His Family Startled
at Night.
The Thief Rugged Out with Mask,
Bull's-eye Lantern and
an Ulster.

When burglars steal anything from
Major Ennis home, it will be on some oc-
casion when the Major is not in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the house. He has
always said so, and an experience which
he had early Thursday morning at his
residence, on Eighteenth and o streets,
proves that he is man of his word, but
that he relies to great extent on the as
sistance of his wife.
About half-past l o'clock Thursday
morning, Mrs. Ennis awoke and noticed
dim light in room adjoining the bed
room. She thought at first that it was
one of the family, and rather family asked
IF that was Scott,' her son. Receiving
no reply, she arose and walked to the
door, and, to her horror, saw that it was a
burglar. The man was very tall, wore
an ulster Of light colored material, and a
mask, and had his feet wrapped with
cloths. He carried bull's-eye lantern in
his hand, but the moment he saw Mrs.
Ennis standing in the doorway he turned
the light out and rushed towards the back
part of the house.
Mrs. Ennis awoke her husband, and.
pistol in hand, he started in pursuit, but
did not even get a glance at the burglar
The rear window off the kitchen and the
back door were found open, showing that
the thief entered through the window and
then opened the door, in order to make
hurried exit in case of an emergency-a
precaution that proved to be very wise
one on this occasion.
The thief did not take anything from
the house with him in his flight
Major Ennis says he would have given
so to the executors of the burglars es-
tate just to have gotten one shot at him.
Some of his friends who claim to know
what kind of a pistol the Major owns,
say, however, that the weapon has not
had load in it for years.
Mrs Ennis was quite badly frightened,
but effectively recovered from the shock
when her husband wonderingly remarked
that the thief must have been some fellow
who had seen him make 81 "killing'' at
the Golden Eagle few hours before.

The contest over the guardianship D o.

Superior Judge Van Fleet yesterday.
There were two petitions for letters OF

son, McComber's brother in-law. Nc
Comber, it will be remembered, was a
resident of Folsom, and was mentally

death. While in that condition Jackson
was appointed his guardian.

An intoxicated individual, who swore
that he never touched drop of liquor in
his life, came to City Attorney Hart yes
terday morning and caused a warrant to
be issued charging the proprietor of a
saloon on Seventh and E streets with
battery.
The complainant said his name was P.
FL. Ellsworth, and he claimed that the
saloonkeeper beat him with a club. He
did not know why the assault was com
mitted, but in answer to questions by the
City Attorney he admitted having re-
ferred to the saloon-keeper's wife in very
indecent language.
Shortly after Ellsworth left the Station
house the proprietor of the saloon swore
to a complaint charging him with dis
turbing the peace.

the trades unions prevents the majority
of our boys from learning trades.''
The first portion of this quotation is a
truism, and the exceptions thereto are
scarcely one in thousand. But it is to
the misleading or rather disparaging as
sertion of the last portion of the. extract
that l wish to direct attention.
Mr.. Cox is clear-headed and far
sighted business man, but, like
the majority of men in successful busi-
| ness life he has failed to inform himself
of the true attitude of trades unions with
regard to apprentices. From Some-
what familiar knowledge of the motives
and rules of these useful associations /
can state that their governing motive in
| limiting the number of appren-
| tees to a certain percentage of the
! journeymen employed is to overcome the
deadly blight which otherwise would fall
upon every branch of skilled labor
where the master only gives the appren-
tice the s'mere rudiments Of trade" in
return for from five to seven years. faith
| full service. We maintain that the en-
ployer shall teach the apprentice every
branch of his calling and send him forth
thoroughly equipped to maintain the
honor and skin of his occupation.
What Mr.. Cox says in another portion
ofhis address in regard to man who plants
| hundreds of acres in fruit-that "he is
simply gambler for quantity not quail
! ity, and q detriment to the State''-win
apply with two-fold force to the employer
| who desires to employ twenty apprentices
to one journeyman. A market glutted
with poor and undesirable fruit is not
half so injurious to the State as a labor
market overstocked with men who have
only half learned the trades by which
| they seek to earn a livelihood.
The relation of master and apprentice is
reciprocal; the apprentice gives number
| OF years of his young manhood to his en-
| ployer. in return for which the employer
is required by the laws of trade unions,
and by justice and equity, to turn him out
a master of his calling, not "botch, !"
who will always be compelled to work
for such pittance as the greed of the own
ers of large and slip-shod establishments
choose to give him. It takes as much
time to learn to be good mechanic as it
does to be doctor or lawyer, and he who
attempts to teach boy trade should
take as much pride in thoroughly equip
ping him in his vocation as a legal or
medical institution does in the attain
| ments of their pupils. In conclusion, 1
maintain that trade unions are the best
friends apprentices can have.
