HIS CREDITORS LEAD HIM
A MERRY DANCE.
A Young Man Who Publishes
Directories and Collects
in Advance.

\ young man named Dunbar
experienced some difficulty last
evening in getting away on the
Rio Janeiro. The first snag he
struck was when an affectionate
creditor stopped his passport. Dun
bar settled with this man, and,
after doing so, he boarded the
vessel. Several other creditors
then tried to jump him for their
money, but he gave them the
laugh, and when the steamer de-
parted, he was walking the deck.
Dunbar arrived here some
months ago with a neat suit OF
clothes and plug hat. In addi-
ton to the wearing apparel, he had
his gall with him, and SO he started
to work.
AS he informed business men,
he came down as representative
of publishing house which makes
a speciality of printing directories.
The name of the firm was Dunbar
& Co., and he was Mr.. Dunbar
himself.
He started in on his directory by
soliciting advertisements and col
lecting the cash in advance. In
the meantime he had a scheme
which was destined to fill " long
felt want" He applied to the
government for a franchise to
place a tin sign on each corner
of the street with the name
of the thoroughfare painted
thereon. He also wanted the right
to put numbers over the doors of
residences so people would have no
difficulty in finding their abodes.
The matter came up in the coun-
ellis but his request was denied.
The refusal did rot phase the
young man a bit and he started to
work anyhow. a few queer look
ing signs were tackled up around
town but it is not known whether
he received any money or not for
his work.
He next commenced to go about
town collecting names for the di-
rectory. He was not very parti-
GUAR about getting full list of
residents as it appeared that he
only had one reporters note book
and when that was filled the direc-
tory was complete. His careless
ness in this regard made people
talk and not a few of the persons
who had paid him cash in adj
vance commenced to worry. To
cap the climax a gentleman arrived
in town who knew the directory
man. He declared that he was
fakir and that his name was not
Dunbar.
The alleged fakir then thought
the place was getting too warm for
him so he departed for tour of
the other islands. He returned
the other day and departed last
night as previously mentioned.

German

Here is something from Mr.. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House. Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men

worth. He says that he has lost
father and several brothers and sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and IS himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
COnsumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is man who

From His Mani Friends.

Although Mr.. R. D. Walbridge
has been absent from Maui for
several months his many friends
have not forgotten him, as on
Tuesday he was presented with a
watch as a token of esteem. The
time piece is solid gold, of Swiss
make, and it is a watch that the
recipient has good reason to be
proud Of About fifty people,
mostly old employees under Mr..
Walbridge, subscribed the money
with which to purchase the watch.
This fact speaks for itself. On the
inside of the case the following in
scription is engraved: "R. D..
Walbridge, from Maui friends,
July !, 1898"

at cannot be said that our Govern
ment has failed to appreciate the i'm
portance f acquiring coaling stations,
although from one reason and another
its policy III this matter has been
greatly baffled. Fully twenty years ago
Commander Meade began to acquire
the right to the station at Pago-Pago,
on Tutuila Island, in Samoa, although
only of late years coal has been de-
dosited there for the use Of our ships,
viii the building Of the wharf and
other structures is not yet completed.
The fine landlocked harbor at Pearl
River in Oahu, the right to which we
long ago acquired, has not been put to
use, partly because of the bar that
must be removed, but largely also,
no doubt, because of the greater
question presented to us, that of an.
nexing all the Sandwich Islands.
The value of foothOld IN
the West Indies is apparent, and dur.
ing the last twenty years one has been
sought, but thus far all the negotiations
in regard to SANTANA Bay, ST. Thomas
and Mole St. Nicolas have come tc
naught. The Importance Ct the 18th
. mus is so great that steps have beer
, taken to obtain a station there, but TIM
unfortunate experience with Chirlqu
Lagoon and Colo Dulice proved som,
! what discouraging. On the Western
coast of South America our nava
5 movements have become So importan
, that it has even been sought to establish
station in the Galapagos Islands
although no arrangements for the pur
, pose has yet been made with Ecuador
= On the eastern coast, II was former
proposed that we should acquire
, station at Santa Catharna, in Brazil
5 while still another on the Straits c
Magel an would be as suitable for us a
5 Great Britain's in the Falkland Island
e is for her. For more distant waters
, mas been suggested that we shout
f acquire rights in Tullear Bay, Mada
t gascar, at Monrovia in Liberia, and i
t some one of the islands off Core;
h But the carrying out of even a sma
n portion of this ambitious program migt
n be OF much service"
