during the past week that mas
permeated good many of the
stores of Honolulu, principally
ours. The Indications are
strongly in favor of increased
trade during the next six
months and we are taking time
by the fore lock and preparing
ourselves for what we think,
will be an era of good times.
Honolulu and the Islands gen
orally have passed through a
period of depression that will
be long remembered the
people of the United States
are suffering from a more ag-
gravated form of the disease
and the people there look for
relief through Legislation while
it has come to us through nat
ural, at the same time, unex-
planned course-it just came.
The prospect of a higher price
for sugar in the near future
has given the managers con-
fidence and they are willing to
expend money for improve
ments and repairs, fact which
would not have existed had the
outlook not been bright. For
years Hawaii has been depend
ent upon sugar to an extent
that when there was a good
year almost every inhabitant
shared in the prosperity and
when a poor season came
along they linked arms in ad-
versity. TO certain extent
the same state of affairs exist
today, the sugar producer
looks with a bright eye and a
light heart to better times, and
he invests accordingly. The
laborer who has worked dur
ing the past season on the CO.
operative plan finds himself
better off than he expected by
several hundred dollars and he
yearns for an outlet for his
savings. Diversified industries
on Hawaii are practically in en-,
bryo that they will develope
and be numbered among the
resources Of the country there
can be no doubt. When chat
times comes, though sugar vii,
ever remain the leading pro
duct of the islands, coffee and
fruits will occupy such promi
nence that when there is an of
year in sugar, the loss to the
merchant will be made up from
the money spent by the promo
tors of other industries.
Unless all signs fail this
country will be connected with
the United States by a com
mercial treaty that will be as
great a boon to the fruit grow
er as was the reciprocity treaty
to the sugar planter. Lane
that now lies idle will be plant
ed in fruits and canneries will
spring up like mushrooms
The prohibitory duty on canned
goods entering the United
States from this port will b'
wiped out and canned Hawaii
an fruits will be known through
out the world. The prospect
for Flawali's advancement
among the worlds commerce

1t is a strange, but none the
less true fact, that another
branch of the cutlery trade is
monopolized by England for
the same reasons that America
controls the scissors branch.
Pocket cutlery from the fact
ory of Wostenholm is superior
to any made in the world. It's
difficult to find person who
would accept a knife made by
any one else, even as a gift.
We have a show case and
several shelves filled with pock-

tortoise shell handles with from
two to six blades, one diminu-

knives with bone handles and

Our notice about wire fence
last week brought us inquiries
from all over the group, and or
ders from several plantations.
We can meet the demand now
that the "PAuger' is belching
thousands of coils of galvaniz-
ed and black annealed wire
into our warehouses. The
locked fence is made with this
wire and the addition of spring
stays and washers which are
sold only by us. There is SO
much saving in the cost of
erecting the fence and so much
life added to it that compari-
sons with the old style fence
are odious. A manager on
Kauai who is using our new
fence puts his posts forty feet
apart and the stays at a dis
tance of six feet. If you've
been accustomed to building
fence and locating your posts
every five or six feet you will
: have no difficulty in calculating
the saving by adopting our
new methods. Other people
lnd it more economical and
there's no reason why you
should not.
Wasl1ita oil stones, either
plain or in boxes, are new
arrivals with us, and we have
added also to our stock Of in
sulated wire and tape for use
in putting in telephones or
electric bells. Electricity is
one Of the branches in some OF
the schools in the States, and
there are no doubt many lads
in town who have read up on
the matter and would have put
call bells and burglar alarms
in their parents homes but for
the expense. So far as our
charges for material go this
is an error. Two or three
dollars will pay for the material
necessary for either a call bel
or any alarm from the chicken
house to your bed room.

These were the calculations Of grief
anger and surprise that came almost stimuli
taneously from at least 100 ladies' who wit
messed a dueking scene at the Olympic Club
last evening.
II was ladies' night and the committee on
natatorial pastimes got up little surprise
party for those who had awaited themselves
of the opportunity Of with essing the exer-

During the hours when the members who
delight in swimming were cutting dashes in
the water in the presence of large num-
Der OF spectators A. c. Dodge, who was
dressed in his best suit OF clothes, criticized
Howard TayloPs system of diving, which
he said made as much comm0tion as red
wood log shot from 0 Mendocino County
flume.
Taylor took immediate umbrage at what
he considered a deep and serious insult,
and getting out of the water as quickly as
possible he chased Dodge to the top of the
gallery. which is fifteen feet above the
tank. Dodge was unable to escape from
his pnrsuer owing TO gathering Of ladies
who were viewing the sport below from the
gallery.
As quick rs a fash Taylor, who by the
way Is as strong as a successful politician
after years service, grabbed Dodge by
the neck, and taking a neck and crotch
lock upon the unfortunate Dodge he lifted
him bodily over the ladies' heads and
pitched him. with clothes, boots and general
outfit, into the deep pool below.

quaintances as doc Cupid" supposing
that the affair was Intentional, plunged in to
the water to rescue Dodge, and were 1t not
for the timely assistance of Professor Ben
Bogner and fishing pole Professor Hunt

JOOST ATTACKED.
RumOrs Touching the San
Mateo Road.
Changes Required in the Management
Under Pain of Immediate
Attachment.

There Is trouble among the directors of
the San Francisco and San Mateo Electric
Railroad. and just how it will end is mat
ter which seems to puzzle all interested in
the corporation.
Behrend Joost. the president and pTinci-
pal stakeholder, is not looked upon favora-
bly, by the stockholders, who seem deter
mined to have a change in the manage
ment
1t is claimed that the company is not
paying expenses. and that a valuable piece
of property is being wrecked by an incom-
petent Superintendent. who is upheld by
Joost against the wishes of many of the
leading directors.
4 TumOr is current that a receiver will be
placed in charge on Saturday next. but
Mr.. Joost denies this, claiming that tbs
company is paying handsomely, that the
rolling stock is in good condition, and the
patronage Of the road is increasing each
| day.
c. C. Butler one of the largest stockhold-
ers In the corporation, does not agree with
Mr.. J0ost. but claims that the company il
losing money each month aud proposes TO
take steps in changing the management in
order that his stock may not deDrecate in
value. Mr.. Butler claims that the suDeTin-
tendent does not know his business and
that If immediate steps are not taken the
creditors will close down and receiver be
appointed,

Mr.. Simons, the electrician Of the road. il
