Bishop Museum Catalogue.

"a Preliminary Catalogue of the
Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of
Polynesian Ethnology and Natural
History" has been issued by Prof.
VIM. T. Brigham, A. NJ, Curator,
The catalogue is divided into two
parts: 81. Kahilis, Feather orna-
ments, Mats and Kapas;" III.
Household Implements, Tools,
Amusements, War, Worship, Orna-
ments, Medicine, Fisheries and
Canoes, Relics of Chiefs"
In brief introduction the Gu
rator says: "Although 50 recently
established, this Museum may al
ready claim the first rank in certain
departments, as kahilis, calabashes,
kapas, mats, and Polynesian stone
implements. 1t is hoped that eventu-
ally (when sufficient room can be
provided) not only the Ethnology OF
Polynesia will be fully represented
but the Natural History as well, by
automatically named specimens, SO
that the means may be provided for
a study of the natural productions
of a large part of the Pacific Ocean
and its Islands. At present the
energies of the Museum are concen-
trated in securing a complete series
of Hawaiian Natural History, Pro-
ducts, and Antiquities.
The catalogues notes on the ex-
hibits are often of much interest, in
the light they throw on the life of
the ancient Hawaians. A visit to
the Museum with this catalogue in
hand will give vastly more pleasure
and information than one paid be-
fore the appearance of such neces-
sary help. Although Prof. Brigham
has always been cheerfully ready to
answer questions, and to volunteer
information when he found visitors
wanting to know, you know" it is
impossible for one man to wait on
a dozen or score of people scattered
all over the building.
The Museum has been described
on different occasions in this paper,
where also clear picture of it has
been given. Its contents consist of
the Hawaiian collection of Mrs.
Bishop the founder, the collection
bequeathed by Queen Emma, the
collection of Mr.. Joseph S. Emerson
stone implements collected by Mr.
Geo. H. Dole, collection made in
New Guinea, one made by Mr.. Eric
Craig of Auckland, the collection
formerly known as the Government
Museum, and many articles given by
friends. The Museum is at present
open free to the public on Fridays
from 9 a. m. until II M, and on
Saturdays from 2 until 5 p. m.

Pacific Wheelmcl'r Parade.

One of the prettiest spectacles
ever seen on Honolulu's streets was
the parade of the Pacific Wheelmen
on the evening of Independence
Day. About thirty bicycles illumin-
ated with Chinese lanterns were in
line. They were preceded by min
strels in a wagonette. The process
sion entered the Palace yard and,
on drawing up in front of the main
entrance, it was reviewed by the
Queen. Ruby Dexter, captain, ad-
dressed short speech of congratu-
lation to Her Majesty, on the occa-
sion of the days celebration, to
which she replied in a gracious man
ner. After giving three rousing
cheers for the Queen, the Wheelmen
left the grounds. The procession
then wound through the principal
streets, eliciting hearty admiration
from crowds all along the way. Her
Majesty presented the corps with a
cheque for $50 for the erection of a
fence around their new track at
Pearl City. The track is situated
opposite Mr.. John f. Colburn's
place ON ground as level as a billiard
table,

NEW STEEL VESSEL.
Noble Addition to the Hawaiian
Mercantile Marine.

The Hawaiian steel bark r. p.
Rithet, in command of Captain p.
H. NJ. Morrison, well-known in this
city, arrived yesterday morning,
Nov. 2S, 32 days from Nanaimo, b.
c., having left that port on Oct. 25.
She brings 1876 tons of coal from
the Wellington mines consigned to
the lnter-lsland Steam Navigation
Co, and is berthed near the Pacific
Mail dock. The bark experienced
moderate and calm weather and
light winds up to Thursday last,
Nov, oath, when she experienced
very heavy westerly gales in "a n,
14S w, This continued for three
days, during which the vessel be-
haved splendidly. The wind was
shifting during the storm, the first
half being from n. w. and then
suddenly to S. w. However, the
bark came out without sustaining
any damage. She will load sugar
for San Francisco.
The r. p. Rithet was built in
Glasgow by Cameron & Mcconnell,
and was launched on Dec 81, 1891,
consequently she will be one year in
the water the last day of this year.
Sailed from Glasgow for Cardiff
Feb. % and arrived on the 26th.
Left for Chile with 1850 tons of
patent fuel March II, and arrived
June 13. Left Pisagua, Chile, in
ballast for Puget Sound and made
port Aug. II. From there she came
here, leaving Oct. 25. The vessel is
constructed of steel, hull and spars,
and is of 1888 tons register. She is
fitted with direct steam communica-
ton and carries a patent screw
wheel. Everything on her is of the
most improved style. The decks are
of Quebec pine. She has side and
stern ports for lumber loading. She
carries 1876 tons coal at present on
lift lin. keel, and is capable OF
carrying 1000 tons of sugar The
deck frame and steel house are con
structed on a patent and guarantee
great strength. The steel houses on
deck include galley, engine house
and house near the main hatch foi
second-clas passengers. The cabin
is large, airy and nicely fitted out
with trimmings of black ebony
birdseye maple and mahogany. The
trimmings on deck are of teak.
The r. p. Rithet is calculated tc
draw 1Sa feet water when loaded
When without ballast she is able tc
stand free with everything set aloft
There is portable steam fre-engine
between decks with tubes along the
whole length of the vessel, so that il
is only necessary to use 30 feet o.
hose to reach every part of the ship
The Captain believes her to be ;
very fast sailer if she had the chance
Captain Morrison was formerly or
the bark Andrew Welch and lef
her in San Francisco to bring the
Rithet out. The r.. p. Rithet was
built for g. Brewer q Co.

Independence Day Exercises.

The usual patriotic gathering of
Hawaiians, in honor of Independ-
ence Day, was held in Kawaiahao
Church. Her Majesty attended, ac-
companied by Governor Cleghorn,
Chamberlain Robertson and Prince
Kalanianaole. Members of the Dip
lomatic and Consular Corps, Captain
Wiltse and officers of the U. S. S.
Boston were present. After prayer
by Rev. H. H. Parker the Grafton of
the day was delivered by Hon. Z. X.
Lilikalani. A short address was
also made by Hon. j. X, Iosepa,
Patriotic luaus were held in various
places. One at Keau's place at Ka-
kaako, largely attended, extended
into spell of speech-making lasting
till after 10 o'clock. Mr.. j. Nahora
Hipa and others spoke, making
special reference to next years being
the jubilee anniversary of independ-
ence. By unanimous vote the editor
of the BULLETIN, who looked in while
on his way home, was invited to
make few remarks.

million, and Bishop Staley, who
founded the Anglican Church, had
not been thought of. Taro patches
extended to the site of the building,
and there was hardly a house east of
Thomas Square. 1t was the first
wooden church of any size in the
islands, and the wood came from the
Sound instead of from Boston. The
church was lighted with sperm oil,
causing sensations other than pleas
ant to nose and eyes. 1t received "a
bell, the same as now transferred to
the new church, which was the loud
est and clearest in the group, giving
the natives a name for the church,
which they still use, denoting a
sense of awe. The first minister or
dained in the church was the pres
ent pastor. Though only 36 years
old the building survived others of
its day, such as the old palace, post
Office, Sailors Home, etc. This eli
mate, with its insect pests, made
wooden buildings shol' lived.

ter what good things are than
in Honolulu. And they know
where to come when they
are ready to buy. The Fischer
Range has demonstrated its
superiority over all rivals just
as the Bradley & Hubbard
lamp has convinced the world
that no other lamp shines as
well.
Every year you are offered
opportunities of getting lamps
cheap or, more correctly speak
ing, cheap lamps. Attractive
ness is the only thing in their
favor, usefulness is not be con-
sidered because they are got
ten up to sell. The manufact-
urers who put such things on
the market sometimes make a
better article but they are found
only in the establishment Of
reputable dealers.
When you are buying a
lamp the main thing to be con-
sidered is the burner. The
Bradley & Hubbard" has
stood the test all over the
world and is without an equal.
Inferior lamps do not have the
B. & H. burner. This year
we securedf or our trade some
Banquet and Piano lamps with
the automatic attachment that
does away with taking off the
chimney when you want to
light the wick. That alone is
worth something and is not
found on the made.to-sell sort.
For a table lamp we have
tor pedestal a very handsome
Onyx top table, antique pat
tern that looks as though Sy-
pher Of New York had had
something to do with it. Sy-
pher is the boss dealer in art

tors with oxydized trimmings
have arrived and are at your

The rat traps we made the
hit on are in such demand thai
it is a hard matter to keep uE
with the call. We have order
ed more of them and until they
arrive we suggest your using
the Delusion mouse trap fol
juvenile rodents. The effect
on the mouse is startling.
We have paid a great dea'
of attention this year to the
shades for lamps, with the mos
satisfactory results. 1t makes

Taxing Personal Property.

The committee on legislation of the
'TEcal Estate exchange, OF New York
city. held its first meeting last week.
and the president, George r. Reed. in
his opening address, discussed rapid
transit and other questions likely to af-
feet the price of real estate. He asSo
said that it was to be expected that bills
looking to the taxation of mortgages
and personal property would be intro
duced as usual. and that the effect of
such taxation would be TO drive away
from our city capital and business, and
thereby ultimately injure the value of
real estate. He hoped that the commit
tee would be as successful in defeating
such proposals this year as it had been
in the past The intelligent real estate
owner who expects to improve land
that he holds is beginning to see the
folly of taxing personal property as
plainly us do the single takers. He is
not likely, perhaps. to become more
than a single tax man limited but that
far he is in time sure to come.

Here is very simple little tricl:
with pennies that will catch the sharp
est OF your friends: Place SIX pennies
on the table and arrange them in the
form OF Roman cross-that is, four
pennies in a perpendicular row for the
upright and one on each side OF the
second penny for the cross piece. You
will then have two rows. the up-and-
down row with four pennies in it and
the horizontal row with three in it.
Ask your friends to place them in two
rows with four in a row by only chang
ing the position of one penny.
They will try, but they won't sue

Single Tax In Missouri.

The single tax uoe Of Missouri are &C
conplishing wonders in forcing 10 the
front the doctrines that they hold.
They have gone about it in the right waT.
They have not merely lent their aid to
the democratic party. but they have
procured the nomination ana eiectioh
TO the ,cr:slature of seven single tax
men. of whom one is in the state SEN
nte and six in the house. The men thus
chosen are no. merely members, but
leading members, of the branches TO
which they belong. One of them Is
speaker of the house. one chairman oil
the wars and means committee, one
chairman of the committee on internal
improvements, and another chairman
of the committee on manufactures ana
others hold places on other important
com nlittees. As was shown by an item
printed in last weeks Standard, the
single tax men are pushing the demo-
cratic party forward toward free trade
and though they failed in securing an
open declaration in accord with their
views, ii. Martin Williams, says that
more than half the members are free
traders Mr.. Williams is one OF the
clerks of the house, and he was APP
pointed to that position with full
knowledge of the fact that he is not
merely single tax man, but the Mis-
souri, member of the single tax national
committee.
1t is not to be wondered at that in n
state where the single tax movement is
in the hands of such practical men, that
the necessity for state organization Is
becoming apparent Whenever the
movement reaches that stngc, state
committees ought TO be formed; but,
on the other hand, it is folly to form
such committees where there is no local
activity, and where a new tax on the
energies Of our scattered people must
fail to accomplish any great good.
while diverting money and effort from
the work already in progress under the
direction of the national committee.
Let US finish the work on hand. press
ing forward to new duties where it is
possible, as in Missouri, but in no case
forgetting or ueglecting the tasks and
responsibilities that we have already
assumed
