This stalwart bird stands confessedly
at the head of the poultry race, and is
appropriately denominated the liking of
domestic fowls" The grand proper
tions and enormous weight which these
birds reach, in late years, seem almost
fabulous. At maturity, say two years
old, many specimens are seen in Amer
lean shoW-rooms that will draw thirty
five to forty pounds weight, alive; and
yearling gobblers are not uncommonly
exhibited that will bring up the beam
at twenty-five to thirty pounds. Hen
turkeys at these ages will, in full breed
ing condition, weigh eighteen to twenty
pounds each. And it is upon record
that extra pairs have been shown that
drew together over sixty-two pounds,
for male and female. This result has
been effected through iudicious and wise
selections of course. But it was long
ago apparent to careful turkey growers
that this enormous "Bronze" variety
was something exceptionable. And
shrewd men in various sections Of the
country have turned this splendid acqui-
sition to good account, in their extensive
breeding, in the past ten years.-Ex-

We expected to sell Aer-
motors this week so that pro-
perty owners might irrigate
their lawns aud supply water
to their tenants while the
Makiki pumping plant was
receiving the usual repairs,
but Il contingency" arose Sat
urday and Sunday, which
causes us to postpone the mat
ter and turn our attention
and yours to Hartman Steel
Mats, an article you are in need
of since the heavy mud-pro-
ducing rain has fallen. These
mats are not a fancy thing
that will wear out in a little
while, but a strong, service
able steel mat that will last
forever. The one at our front
door has been there for four
years and has withstood the
tramping of thousands of feet.
If you have a steel mat and
want something for the door
sill, get a cocoa mat for about
half the price you've been
paying.
There's something about the
quality of cur silyerware that
makes people want it. Last
week we had a run on it that
overtops anything of the kind
we have ever experienced. We
aim to get the best of every
thing and this rule applies to
spoons, forks, etc., made of
silver.
If people want to establish
themselves as money makers

safest way to get to this street
is by the use of stays and
washers in making a fence.
You are throwing money away

six cents each compares favor
ably with redwood posts for

The letter Of our Maui cores
pendent gives assurance that the
annexationists on that island are
stirring and mean to make their
voice heard. John w. Kalua is a
representative man and one of the
most intelligent and influential of
the natives. He is, moreover,
very eloquent speaker, and it is
always a pleasure to hear him. He
possesses the qualifications of a
leader, and many of his country
men place great confidence in him.
He advocates annexation with argu-
ments that no one can controvert
and carries conviction on every

AS 1T SHOULD BE.

Maud Muller on summers morn
Jerked the suckers from the corn
And walloped the striped bugs that dew
From the melon vines in the morning dew.
Her dress, though adjusted with patient care.
Was, maybe, a little the worse for wear,
But her face was fair as the ripe, red rose,
Though she had a few freckles upon her nose.
Her father, an honest and kind old jay,
Was out in the meadow making hay
And trying to lift, with his brawny arm,
The mortgage that covered the dear old farm.
Twas an uphill job, and it made him swear.
For he had ten children snd dogs to spare,
And the crop was large, but the price was not
And the annual interest made him hot.
The judge rode by on his swaybacked horse
And saw Maud Muller and changed his course.
He was struck with her beautiful eyes and hair
And fell in love with her then and there.
He stopped and conyersed of the growing crops,
And the wavering price, and the bucket shops,
And was quite impressed with her sterling
sense,
As she with his classic eloquence.
He came each day and longer stayed,
And offered his hand to the modest maid,
And she, in true lovers parlance versed,
Requested to be a sister at first,
But afterward yielded, when he demurred,
Submitted brief, and her dad concurred,
And so it was settled the twain should be
One and the same for eternity.
The wedding day came, twas grand affair,
For the cream Of the country was gathered
there,
And Maud was dressed like fairy queen
In the finest toys she had ever seen,
And the judge was happy, and so was she,
And so was the whole community.
Meantime the Muller farm seemed to be
Fresh meat for the ravenous mortgage,
But the judge, In dignifed, legal way,
Sought the creditor out and advanced the pay.
And gave his wife's father farm beside
Without the least show of judicial pride,
And said to himself as he wrote the deed,
IN not see my father-in-law in need,
For he gave me his daughter, and she alone
Is worth many times all the wealth own"

The great scarcity of servant girls in
Boston has led to the Importation of a con-
siderable number of farmers daughters
from the back districts 0f Maine to serve
in fashionable city houses. The want of
familiarity on the part of these girls with
city ways and language has led to some
queer scenes.

Yours respectfully,
ALBERT S. WILLIS.
Now, here is clear and most
positive disavowal of the correct
ness of the reported interview on
the part of the minister, who
says that, as published in the
Star, it contains several ex-
pressions which are mislead-
ing" This is sufficient to show
that the interview, as published,
did not convey what the minister
sought to express. 1t matters little
now what the several expressions
are which the Star man has twisted
SO as to be misleading" nor is
the minister under any obligation
to the public to say what mistakes
the reporter made. The "mislead-
ing expressions have been pub
lished, and cannot be recalled.
Here this unfortunate episode
might have been dropped had it
not been that the editor of the Star,
in Saturday evenings issue, makes
two damaging statements, which
can only be termed as disrespect-
full, if not insulting, The first is
an apparent attempt to fasten on
the minister the responsibility of
any inaccuracies in the published
interview, by bringing Mr.. Manson
forward as witness that the minister
"spent fifteen minutes in looking
over the manuscript, as though
that time was sufficient to detect
errors, when the minister's thoughts
were occupied with other and more
important matters. To say the
least, it was very ungentlemanly,
and needs an apology.
The other instance is contained
in the following paragraph from
Saturdays issue of the Star;
Let us say to Mr.. Willis in closing
that the Star is careful of its good |
name and that it resents an assault |
upon it from any source; yet, out of |
respect for him as a well-meaning |
diplomat who may have found that |
the cold type gave a different look to
his words than penmanship had done,
it opens its columns that he may say, |
specifically, wherein the interview
was at variance with the truth.
Here the editor undertakes to
read lecture to Mr.. Willis, whom
he most graciously terms "a we'll
meaning diplomat" and informs
him that the cold type of the Star
gave different look TO his words
than the reporters pen had done,
and kindly offers him space to say
what he pleases, whenever its in
publish anything cat
variance with the truth !" This is
decidedly cool. The Stars cold
types give a different look to the
minister's utterances than they
should have done This fully ac-
counts for the misleading express
sions" noticed by the minister.
Cold type did the whole mischief!
And "cold type" is a very handy
But seriously, the editor has no
tight to address the minister in
he manner he has done in the
above paragraph. A diplomat
the person of his sove-
reign, and should receive the same
courtesy as the latter. AS a rule
ne does not appear in print to de-
END himself nor to explain any of
MS official acts, no more than
would the sovereign whom he re-
presents. Nor can he be called out
10 engage in political disputes,
even if "cold type" misrepresents
him.

ANNEXATION CLUB MEETING AT
WAILUKU.
Stray scribblings. Etc, by the I'D
vertIser's" Special Cores
pondent.

MAUI, Nov. 1S.-During Monday
evening, the 18th inst, the Maui
Annexation Club held its fourth
general meeting at the Waikiki
court house. ]. w. Kalua, presi'
dent, called the gentlemen to order
and requested J. L. Dumas to take
the chair. Mr.. Dumas stated that
the club had been assembled to
dispel various rumors that were in
circulation to the effect that the
Maui association had become divi-
ded and had about "given up the
ghost" to show that the club still
maintained a most lively and
thriving existence; that it still
wanted annexation, and that it
fully endorsed and upheld the
Provisional government.
Volunteer speakers were then
called for.
F. B. McStocker, of the execu-
tive committee of the Honolulu
club, stated facts concerning the
prosperous condition of his own
association, and gave a brief out
line of the able support which the
government now has. He congratu-
lated the Maui club on its brave
showing, and said he should make
a most favorable report in Homo
lulu.
J. w. Kalua followed him with
patriotic speech, brief and elo-
quent, which was ably interpreted
from Hawaiian to English by Sher-
if Chillingsworth. He Indignantly
denied that there was any split
whatever in the Maui association,
but that they were as strong and
staunch as eyer. 1t was now high
time for every man TO take de-
cided stand either for or against
annexation. Much applause.)
w. A. Mckay and other mem
hers made brief remarks on the
work of the club and concerning
the necessity of standing firmly to-
gether.
J. L. Dumas answer to the pro-
position of deciding matters by
general vote, was received with en-
thusiastic applause.
Two resolutions read by Secre-
tary Hons were unanimously
adopted.
The first was an endorsement Of
the resolution recently offered by |
John Emmeluth in the council,
relating to the enrolment of all
male ofiice-holders under As years
VI aye III hOluubOOl ColI lStllloSJ anu |
all over that age in the citizens
reserve.
The second expressed implicit
confidence" answering loyalty" |
cordial support and "frm adher-
ence" to the present government |
from the 18th day of January last
to the present moment.
1t was further determined that
copies of the above resolutions be
forwarded to President S. B. Dole,
the executive council and the
Honolulu annexation club.
The meeting then adjourned,
subject to call of the committee.
The court house was well filled |
by a most respectable and orderly |
body of Maui citizens, and the
meeting was enthusiastic and in
teresting from beginning to close.
