the other day: II don't believe there is
one woman in fifty in the social swim
who doesn't know how TO smoke"
WHAT"
"Oh, don't mean smoking to excess
an / don't mean smoking pipes or
cigarettes. l mean just this: A woman
after dinner can, when she is in COM
pany, light a cigarette and smoke
probably half of it. Some smoke con-
stantly. don't mean thct kind. Very
few cannot smoke at all"
How comes a jeweler to speak about
IL with such confidence? Because
jewellers sell ladies' cigarette holders by
the hundred-tiny, jeweled things they
are; shaft with clasp at the top to
hold the tobacco roll and a ring for the
little finger at the bottom. Some OF
these dainty trifies cost as high as $500
or 5000 and are richly jeweled. Some
are extremely cheap. That indicates a
considerable range in the cigarette
habit.

istence was painted by Read. 1t repre-
sents the gallant cavalryman as he
was in 1864, on the back of a coal black
charger.
The picture is the property of Mrs.
Grant. An intimate friend of the
widow tells me that once when Grant
was alive Sheridan dined with the fam
lily and talk ran on the portrait.
"Sheridan ought to have that pic
ture," said the old general. "Why don't
you give it TO him?' addressing Mrs.
Grant.
Because I want it myself" was the
instant reply. DAVID WEcHsLER.

sir: plain fact. The newspaper man as
an individual is like anybody else-just
the ordinary human conglomeration of
features, plus notebook and a scriv-
ener's cramp.
But there are fifty men at Washing
ton-the chiefs of bureaus and the as
sociation men-who practically have
great deal TO do with the opinions that
50,000,o 900 people have Of public men
and measures. For vastness of infu-
ence there's nothing like that little
knot of correspondents They're good
fellows, too, picked men, the best of
them. There's no harm i'm being on
fairly good terms with them, dignified
but courteous.
Mrs. Cleveland is particularly anxious
to keep Baby Ruth paragraphs out of

do il. II is like fighting the windmills

west corner is Whitney's, the northwest
Cornelius Vanderbilt's, on the other
side of the street is c. p Huntington's
villa. Below, for ten blocks or so, trade
has not yet invaded the street. Two
blocks above is the park entrance. Be
low and above, but all in easy walking
reach, are the clubs.
Think of the wealth represented
within the little radius of half mile
or SO from this Fifth-seventh street
corner
Every man who owns residence
within half mile up or down and To
good distance on either side is either
millionaire or living beyond his means.
Huntington paid $4,000 foot front
age for his corner lot, trifle of SIG an
inch. A trifle less but not much less,
for the Fifty-seventh street frontage.
This shows how property has risen.
Cornelius Vanderbilt paid only $4,000
for his opposite corner with good
house on it, though to be sure that was
promptly torn down TO make room for
the splendid palace there now.
That was only few years ago, COM
paratively. 1t is quite a long while
since William ii. Vanderbilt, the elder.
paid 100000 for a tumble down old
greenhouse and the land on which 1T
stood. But that was 200 feet and two
corners-only $1,000 foot.
Practically. Cornelius Vanderbilt is
going TO put more than s1,000,000 into
a door yard. He can afford it. Though
the head of the family he is probably
the most popular of all the young Van
derbilts, having some idea of the duties
of his position. He is charitable, looks
like prosperous butcher and is, up to
date, less ostentatious than w. X. Van
derbilt the next best known member
of the family. His investments do not
worry him. Once in awhile he strolls
| down to the Grand Central to talk
things over with Depew. At one
o'clock one Of the negro St. Peters at
the gate brings up something-railway
station sandwiches, perhaps, but per.
haps something else-and the two take
pot luck in the presidents inner Office.
Cornelius and George Vanderbilt can
get around town on foot when they feel
like it. w. X. is more exclusive.

LETTER FROM MR. STEVEN
SON.
The Novelist Declares Sans Souci
a Sacred and SeQuestered
Bower.
SANS SoUCI, WAIKIKI, }
Honolulu, October 6, 1898. J

HoSoLULU, October 6, 1898. !
Mr.. EDITOR: VIII you allow
harmless sick man, who has just
made out eight days of sickness
here, to express his amazement and
his Wholesale disapproyal at the
nickname recently tackled upon it
in the papers: A Disorderly House?
Ny bedroom is now in the heart of
the establishment, opening upon
all the public rooms. t No one can
arrive, no one can depart, by day
or night, but I must hear them.
l have had high fever; you will
regard it as an obvious rider that [
was in state to be easily annoyed.
Will you believe it, sir, the only
annoyance that has befallen me In
this disorderly establishment was
two nights ago, when the telephone
broke out bleating like deserted
infant from the nigh dining room -
L liOlI1 Va IA
Dental considerations, approach
this interesting instrument myself !;
i had no choice but to summon
others who should prove more bold !;
and for a considerable interval in
the gaunt midnight the telephone
bell and I performed a duet. At
length Mr.. Simpson came to the
rescue, fearlessly tackled the ap-
paratus, and learned that the
Adams was demanding her chief
engineer.
II this be disorder-well, I will
agree. The introduction of the tel
ephone into our bed and board, in
to our business and bosoms, par
takes of the nature of intrusion.
But one house in Honolulu is not
more private than another. And
to me, who passing days listening
to the wind and the waves along
the reef, I can but say that l desire
to find no quieter haven than the
Sans Souci; and may well add,
with the poet,
"In more sacred or sequestered
Nor nymph nor Faunus haunted"
am sir, your obedient servant,
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.

We think we have quite the
best assortment of moderate
price hanging lamps in the city
and what we think about our
stock is generously concurred
in by the public. By the Plant
err" we received a full stock of
lamps in late designs, which
we are able to offer you at sur
prisingly low prices. We have
also some very fine tables in
polished brass with onyx tops
"a beautiful piece of furni-
ture for a parlor.
Frequent Gals for flower
pots was sufficient reason for
our adding a new lire to our
already large list. We receiv-
ed last week an assortment
ranging from the plain every
day affair to the handsomely
decorate vase for palms. We
have also mammoth pots, al
most large enough for algaroba
trees. As they are made of
terra catta, they are the best
kind for any kind of plants.
The fancy maiolica pots, you
will understand are simply
for decoration. not for service;
plants will not live in them.
Sugar mills will be running
in full force in a short time
and sundry and various sup
plies will be needed by the
engineers. We feel that we
have an abundance of every
thing needed and can meet any
demand upon Us for Colorado
oils, betting, packing and
everything else. Our stock is
quite as complete as any in the
country. The Colorado brand
of lubricating oils is rapidly
taking the place of all other
kinds and, if there is an en-
gineer on the islands who has
not tried and who wants to,
we will be glad to send a sam
pie barrel.

is after him now the opposition

NOTES AND COMMENTS

AS the Star has succeeded in
proving it differs with" the AD-
vERTIsER, it is seemingly impos-
sible to continue the discussion.
Had our good-natured contempt
rary differed from" us we might
hSye whacked his literary head in
definitely. The fact that Disraeli
has made the same error the editor
Of the Star has does not seem
to be pertinent. IfDisraeli differed
with him" he did more than he
had authority to do either in liter
allure or by the definitions given by
Webster. The discussion has not
been over the definition of the
word differ" but over the appli-
cation of the propositions with "
and from" in the construction of
an English sentence.

our royalist contemporaries seem
to have worked up quite a feeling
against the board of health-more
especially against Mr.. w. o. Smith,
the president of that body. To the
ordinary citizen it does not look
as if the charges brought in the
present case are well founded.

The fate of the Miowera seems to
be sealed. 1t is unfortunate the
vessel has been lost at the mouth
of the Honolulu harbor at the very
time the country was opening q
new trade with British Columbia,
and it is hoped the disaster will not
affect the further development of
trade in this direction. The Pro-
visional government has given
all the assistance in its power,
and the aid offered by the
United States war vessels
has been fully appreciated.
1t is more than unfortunate that
politicians should attempt to use
the event as a basis for political
criticism.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-10-07

The government has decided to
reduce its military force to 1876
men including officers. AS the
political ferment of the islands has
been gradually subsiding lately,
there seems to be no reason why
the present military force could
not be reduced. In case of need
the Provisional government would
have no difficulty in rallying it's
friends, even if the military force of
the islands was reduced to a
cypher.
