Disease as Seen In the Finger Nails.

1t is interesting to watch the history
Of q case Of disease as recorded upon
the finger nails When we look at
the patients nails, we see on each of
them a distinct ridge, showing that
the portion of the nail which has
grown since the acute attack Is much
thinned out
liza person has broken his arm with
in IS months, the ridges on the nails
of the hand of the affected arm may
be seen, while they win be absent on
the other hand.
The more acute the illness, the
sharper viii be the ridge. Extreme
anxiety and mental depression have
the same effect on the nails as phys
ical disease. Philadelphia Times.

Whenever there Is q legal holiday,

This gives him two days clear. But
ON the day before the half holiday

Thus the single days holiday is ex-

AFTER THE SUGAR TRUST.
The United States is About Ready
to Begin PROCEEDINGS.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 25.-It is re-
ported that James NJ. Beck, exami-
ner in the famous sugar trust case,
is ready to file in the United States
circuit court the papers in the pro-
ceediugs brought by the United
States to declare the trust invalid.
The proceedings are grounded on
the purchase Of four Philadelphia
refineries and the increase of the
capital of the American Sugar
company by $25, 100000, with which
to secure refneries. The defend
ants in the case include all the
prominent sugar men in the country.
The examiner makes no recon-
mendations, but merely recites the
facts in the case. Among the wit
nesses examined were John E.
Searles Jr., E. c. Knight Jr., and
many others prominent in the sugar
trust. The most important evidence
was that Of John Z. Searles Jr.,
who made the contract on behalf
of the trust. The report is to be
taken up in court in November.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1898.

In SEEMS probable, from the
latest advices received, that the
proposed compromise on the repeal
of the Sherman silver bill will be
carried. The first clause relates to
the date when the purchase Of sill
YER shall cease-either January or
July, 1894, or January, 1895. The
second clause provides for the re-
tirement of all United States notes
under ten dollars. The amount so
retired to be converted into notes
of larger denomination, so that the
amount in circulation shall remain
the same as now. 1t is estimated
that this change will bring into
circulation large amount of silver
not less than one hundred thou
sand dollars. This will be follow
ing the practice of England, where
silver and gold are the only circu-
Eating medium under twenty-five
dollars, the smallest notes being
the five pound issues of the bank

Mr.. THEo. II. DAVIES has seen
fit to write a communication to the
daily Bulletin in which he is
pleased to state in his usual style
and manner of self-contained brag,
that he has addressed 4 letter to
the editor Of the ADVERTISER which
has not been published. Perhaps
Mr.. Davies is right; perhaps the
mails have miscarried, and PER-
HAPs Mr.. Davies is wrong, as he
usually is. We can assure Mr..
Davies Of this much: that had he
addressed any letter to the editor
Of this journal, under the form he
claims, it would have been pub
lished, whether for or against an
nexation. Mr.. Davies is certainly
enough Of n commercial man to
know that no communications
90 unless addressed to the head
of the department he is at
tempting to do business with.
The communication in question,
received by Mr.. II. NJ. Whitney,
was submitted TO the editor of this
journal, who, knowing somewhat of
Mr.. Davies crankiness in politics,
agreed with the editor of the HA-
wAIrAN GAZETTE that Mr.. Davies
letter was of a personal nature. In
his own mind the editor of the AD-
vERTIsER, knowing Mr.. Davies and
his little political foibles of old,
reserved the opinion that if he
admitted the seemingly private
letter in question, Mr.. Davies
would within twenty-four hours
such is his love for newspaper
notoriety-deliberately jump the
back of Mr.. Whitney. Should
Mr.. Davies at any time have
any communication which he
desires published in the ADvER-
TIsER he can always be assured OF
its receiving attention by address
ing the editor of the ADVERTISER.
On the other hand, any commune
cation he has for the GAZETTE will
doubtless receive a polite attention,
as in the present case, if addressed
to the editor of that journal. Be.
fore Mr.. Davies makes another at.
tack on the ADVERTISER, for poll
teal purposes, he should read the
headlines of each paper as care
fully as he doubt a7l,s ! +

nda cation from Mr.. T. H. Davies,
ni 9austessed to me as editor of the
ThAzETTE, which seems to call for
ain explanation.
Some six months ago, received
from Mr.. Davies a communication
for publication, which would have
been inserted in the GAZETTE, had it
not previously appeared in the
Bulletin, rendering further publica-
ton unnecessary.
L wrote to Mr.. Davies, then in
England, explaining why it was
not inserted in the GAZETTE, as it
was our rule not to reprint commu-
nications, which had already APP
peared in another paper.
To this private note, / received,
by the same vessel on which he ar
rived, reply which / took to be Il
private letter, not intended for pub

The publication of it under the
circumstances and in the manner
it was done appears to show Mr..
Davies entirely ignorant of the
amenities and courtesies of edi-
torial life.

THE steamer Arawa, which the

tered to run in place of the Milo
vera, so unfortunately wrecked at
the entrance of this harbor, is a
fine steel-screw ship of $3.50 tons.
She is 40 feet in length, and car
ries four masts. She was built in
1884, and has all modern improve
ments both for lighting and store
age. The company states she Is
provided for three classes of pas
sengers, and that they have char
tered the new vessel under the be-
lief that the trade being opened
between the Colonies, Hawaii and
British Columbia will justify the
venture within the next year and a
half. The proposition made to
bring frozen meats from the Colo
MES north by the new steamer Will
certainly meet the approval OF Ho-
nolulu consumers. Heretofore we
have had only the benefit OF occa-
sional shipments of mutton from
the South; if, to these, can be
added frozen meats of a better
quality, even if not at less
price than now paid, a large trade
can certainly be soon worked up in
Hawaii. What Hawaii needs most
at present is a market of exchange
and import. If our southern neigh
bors can aid US at this point,

shin lines to the northern coast,

MINISTER WILLIS has arrived at

United States legation next the
Hawaiian hotel. In conversation
with an ADVERTISER reporter last
evening the new minister empha-

garding his mission or instructions
here were positively unfounded
and that nothing authentic would
be known until he communicated
officially with the Provisional gov
eminent. He stated he would pre-
sent his credentials this morning
at IL o'clock, but nothing further.
He declined to state at what time
he would make official communi-
cations with the Provisional govern
ment and also declined to make any
intimation as to whether it would
be done or not before the Australia
left next Saturday. When asked
as to whether the arrival of Adj
miral Irwin had any political sig
nificance, Minister Willis smiled
and said he was again forced to de-

minister. 1t is certain, however
that whatever is done will be car
ried out in the usual course estab
lished between recognized govern
ments, and upon no other lines.

Some people have the
faculty of selling others an
article of inferior quality and
convincing them that it is the
best. Fence wire is one of the
things people may be fooled
on easier than anything else,
to quote Abraham Lincoln:
You can fool some people all
the time; you can fool all the
people some of the time. But
you can't fool all of the people
all of the time" \ few years
ago, before we were in bust
ness, a Honolulu firm import
ed 4 lot of cheap wire on
special order. 1t was sold to
consumers and in q few
months discarded owing to its
worthless character. That was
an instance of fooling some
of the people some of the
time" The people who bought
that lot of wire don't want
any more of the quality so
they come to US knowing that
when ours was ordered, it was
to be of the best material used
in fence wire, the only condi-
tions named in the order were
that it was to be the best, and
we got it, and we're selling it
rapidly. We have never had a
complaint from anyone buying
our wire, and we never will.
1t is the sort to be used in a
climate like this. In connec-
ton with wire and fencing, we
ask you to cut out the follow
ing paragraph and paste it in
your hat.
To construct a mile of
fencing by the old method,
placing your posts S feet apart,
you pay for posts and staples
$1OS.60. In addition to this,
you pay freight and for digging
post holes. In the locked fence,
the posts, stays and washers
for the same length of fencing,
but for a much more service
able article, you pay $0S.3S.

Honor for Pasteur.

PARIS, Dec. 27.-Dr. Louis Pas
teur, Frances greatest scientist,
and perhaps today the most noted
OF the worlds living benefactors,
today celebrates his seventy-first
birthday. 1t will be made the oc-
casion of grand tribute from all
nations to the distinguished biolo-
gist, ard the President of the Re-
public is to be among those who
will honor the great man by his
presence. At last years celebra-
ton the gold medal of the French
Academy of Sciences was presented
to him, and this he will wear to-
day. The story Of the great mans
life is of interest.
Seventy-one years ago today
there was born to the PasteIr
family at Dole, Department of
Jura, child, who since he arrived
at mans estate, has revolutionized
the worlds knowledge of chemis-
try and biology. This child was
baptized Louis, and his name is
now known throughout the en-
llghtened world.
The most famous of M. Pasteur's
recent achievements, it will be re-
called, was his discovery ofinnocu-
lation for the prevention of hydro
phobia, institutions for the use of
which are now established in sew
eral of the leading cities.
According to Professor Huxley,
