Mr.. EDIToR: Permit me today
few words in regard to an article
which came out in this mornings
ADVERTISER about the Police Station
and 1880 Bell" I had scarcely ap-
peared on the street, seated behind
my charger, when / was stopped by
first one and then another wit h
Hello, 200" What's all that fuss
about that bell now, Mr. Editor?
It goes to prove one thing very
clearly. What you have said about
the ADVERTISER is only too true.
''If you don't take the ADVERTISER
YOU don't get the news" l think
nearly every one must take the AD-
yERTIsER or read it at least, for the
whole town seemed to know about
the 29O Bell. We realize that for
ourselves. IL you don't take the AD-
vERTIsER you don't get the news;
hence we subscribe for it and have
for several years now. In regard to
that 29O Bell, we must explain for
the benefit of the public. About one
wear ago we got permission from the
Marshal to establish communication
between the Police Station and
our Office by means of an electric
he'll. We went to the we'll known
firm of E. o. Hall & Son and gave
them the contract to put In the bell
which cost in the neighborhood of
$40. When some of the other hack
companies became aware of the fact,
they went to the Marshal and asked
permission to put in bell. They
were told they could put in one at
their own expense the same as 29O,
but they did not do it. Perhaps the
cost was more than what it was
worth. Mr.. Editor, | hope you can
see that there is no Doodle about
this. Our motto is and always has
been strict attention to business.
We cater to the public and do not
care whether man is a Jew or a
GENTLE, nor what his religion or pc
litical opinions are. We simply
want all the trade we can get.
We do not owe single dollar to
anyone. Ask the different business
men we do business with. They will
tell YOU our credit is as good as a
bank. The Mckinley bill dealt US a
severe blow as we'll as the rest of the
community, but we are still doing a
thriving business.
Now, MIR. Editor, thanking you foI
your valuable space, we remain very
respectfully, 29o.

Some Thoughts on the AnneXa-
ton Question.

MR.. EDITOR: The writer was i'll
Brazil few weeks before the revolu-
ton which deposed the Emperor Dom
Pedro and substituted republic for a
monarchial government which had
for its head one of the most enlighten-
ed and humane rulers of the age; he
was also in Buenos Ayres at the time
of the revolution at that place some
four years ago, in which 4 thieving
despot, masquerading as President of
the Argentine Republic, and gang
of INSCRIPTIONS politicians who were
his subservient tools were Overthrown
and driven from office; and was also
in Chill a few weeks before the
breaking out of the revolution there,
but was fortunate enough to get out
of that country before hostilities ac-
tually commenced.
After a residence of q couple of
wears in California after my South
American travels | was impelled to
visit the Hawaiian Islands, arriving
in the Paradise of the Pacific but a
few weeks since. You may imagine
nv surprise, Mr.. Editor, TO find my
self in the midst of a fourth revolu.
ton, but happily like that in Brazil
n hloodless one. To one who has ac-
tually witnessed the horrors of the
Buenos Ayres revolution, the bonn
bardment of the city by the insurgent
fleet on two occasions, the
indiscriminate massacre of unfortu-
nate policemen, suspects and prison
ers of war, it cannot but be source OF
much congratulation to the Hawaiian
people that they have been spared
any repetition of these horrors, even
on limited scale. The memories oil
the CHILEAN revolution are too fresh III
our minds to be recalled even now
without shudder. To me it seems
that a feeling of devOut thankfulness
should pervade this whole nation or
the happy and bloodless ending of the
recent revolution, and the peaceful
accession to power of the Provisional
Government.
The responsibility attached to the
Provisional Government is enormous
but | am satisfied even from my
limited observation that its member:
are fully equal to it, and that they
will carry out their arduous duties no
only with honor to themselves bu
with credit to the nation. That thi
is q fact, and that the people OF tn
Hawaiian Islands appreciate 1t to it

WITH AUTHORITY
PROCL 4 NJ ALTON.

In the past the people of
Honolulu have been under
heavy burdens, because of the
high and uncalled for prices
charged for staple articles; the
protests Of the community
passed unheeded, and all eff
forts to produce a better state
Of affairs failed. In conse-
quence the people were dis
tressed beyond measure. 1t is
evident that some move should
be made to equalize matters,
and give the community a
share Of the profits heretofore
enjoyed by those who have
been instrumental in keeping
prices at high water mark.
Now, therefore J, NJ S.
LEVY. in behalf of the public,
hereby announce that [ have
established a store at IS Fort
street for the convenience of
all; and it is hereby pro-
claimed:
ALL HIGH prices are hereby
abolished.
ALL PERSONS interested in
this movement are requested
to call at once and enroll
themselves on my list of

BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Elderly German Woman Attacked
by 4 Tramp.

An elderly German woman, living on
Aurora avenue, was the victim of a
brutal assault yesterday afternoon in an
unoccupled dwelling OH Rondo street.
The woman was looking at house near
the corner of Louis street which had
For Rent" sign on it. A tramp-looking
fellow standing near was asked by her
If he knew who had the renting of the
place. He at once said he was the
agent, and offered to show her through
the house. The woman accompanied
him to the rear of the house, and, the
rear door being open, they looked
through the lower rooms. The would
be agent insisted on her looking at the
cellar, but she said it was not necessary.
Finding that he could not decoy
her down stairs he led her
into small pantry, and.
shutting the door behind him, seized
her by the throat. The woman, nearly
frightened to death, screamed for help,
and, fearing he would be captured, he
released his hold. ran out the back door,
leaped a fence and disappeared. The
occupants of the adjoining house heard
the woman scream, and arrived on the
scene in time to see the thug running
away. The facts were reported to the
Rondo street police station, and de-
Scription of the man given. 1t is sup

THAT THEY HAVE Two OF THE MUIR

One OF the police officials. in speak
Ing OF the case yesterday, expressed the
opinion that the parties who murdered
Herda are the same ones who murdered
house kept by Joseph AuSfelder at La
Crosse. Wis, on the evening of Oct. 10.
On the evening mentioned three masked
men, one tall aud the other two much
smaller, entered the saloon, which is Oh
the outskirts of La Crosse, and, at the
point of revolvers, robbed the cash
drawer and also three OF the patrons of
the saloon. A fourth customer, III
the place at the time. refused to give
up. and at this the robbers opened fire,
shooting several times and killing in
stantly one Of the men who had been
relieved of his money. The description
OF the men who took part in the La
Crosse robbery and murder, and the
manner in which they shot without the
least provocation, the police official
claims, are identical with the tactics
adopted by the men who killed Herda.
While doubling that the men arrested
here are the ones concerned in either
murder, the officer says he is confident
both crimes were the work of the same
gang.

In the discussion of the art of bread
making yesterday morning many points
In physics and chemistry were devel-
oped which will be of value in the prac-
teal work of life. In regard to the
actual work of making bread,
Miss thompson advanced some ideas
which were new to many who were
there. but being scientifically correct, as
proven by the instructor, must be taken,
even II some cherished theories
are somewhat shaken.
She makes her bread in the morning

half milk or all milk. Dissolves two
cakes of compressed yeast, this being
the pureSt, and 10 the milk or water and
Yeast adds enough flour to make
dough that can be easily handled. This
she sets aside, not in tremendous heat
as some people do, but where the tenn
perature is just rs deg. The dough
must stand for three hours, or until it
rises to double its quantity, and then
being placed in pans allowed to rise
again for one hour; then it is baked for
the same length of time.
Rolls are made out of the plain bread
dough, and treated just as bread, except
in the length of time for baking, which
should only be twenty-five minutes.
In connection with making white
bread, she also showed how entire wheat
bread should be treated. This, she said,
was rapidly taking the place of graham
bread. For this one cup of each milk
and water Is taken, one spoon of salt,
and only one yeast cake, as this flour
contains more starch and less gluten,
consequently requiring less yeast.
