NOTES AND COMMENTS.

If combination has been made
between the Oceanic company and
the Pacific liners touching here to
put up fares to the coast in favor
of Mr.. Spreckels' company, the
thing should at once be made
public grievance. The rumors on
this matter have been so point
eddy significant for the past few
days that suspicious have been
aroused. Yesterday in the weekly
session of the councils the min
lister of finance was asked point
blank regarding the matter. While
he said there was no proof in the
possession of the department that
would warrant such a charge he
would not deny the truth of the
FACTS unofficially known through
the testimony of laymen to be back
of the allegations. Mr.. Suhr denied
there was any combination, and it
is to be presumed that he spoke
semi-officially for the steamship
lines his company represents. At
the came time the public should
take the disclaimers of interested
persons with a pretty large pinch
of salt. The neartless methods of
corporations need hardly be pointed
out. The San Francisco papers are
still full of the revenge being taken
on the city of Oakland, Cal, by the
Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany. Steamship lines are not a
whit less INSCRIPTIONS, if they get
the drop on their patrons. 1t may
be that what the local agents of
the steamship lines allege is true,
and that no combine has been
made; in the meantime it may
perhaps be the part of wisdom to
"ware the dog" In case the
steamship companies have pooled
their issues to corner fares and
freights eastward, the government
and merchants should combine in
self-defense, and, if necessary, with
hold both public and private sup
port from the companies in ques-
ton until such time as competing
through or local lines can be estab-
lished.

MORE ABOUT vow BERG.
Steps are Being Taken to Bring
Him Back 10 Honolulu.

Further investigation into the
dealings of the individual called
Won Berg, who SO successfully and
Systematically defrauded num-
Der of Honolulu merchants to the
extent of over $4,000 recently,
brings to light some facts not yet
published.
One of these is that Expressman
Neipper endorsed a note of Won
Berg's for $3.50, which was cashed
by Schnack the collector. In order
to secure Neipper for endorsation
of the note, Won Berg agreed to
give him piano and a fine bed
room set. After Won Berg's de-
parture these articles were taken
possession of by Neipper and car
ried to his residence. 1t now tran
spires that the piano belonged to
c. Z. Williams, and the furniture
to Ordway & Porter. This being
the case Neipper will have to sur
render the articles, and probably
be a loser to the extent mentioned.
1t is said that Collector Luning
is also loser to the extent of $50,
which was lent to the now absent
individual. A polite request by an
ADVERTISER reporter as to the truth
of the report resulted in q refusal
on the part of Luning TO either
affirm or deny it.
Steps are now being taken by
several of the defrauded merchants
toward having Won Berg brought
back to Honolulu. Whether this
can be accomplished it remains tC
be seen.

THE MYSTERY uNRAveLED.
A Clever Newspaper Man Divines the Reason of Tremendous Blockade. stWhat is ity'

Reason of Tremendous Blockade.
 "What is it?'
 "Who is hurt?'
 Anybody been run over?'
 ''Is it man in tit?'
 High above the ceaseless rumble and roar of traffic rose human voices in anx- ious inquiry, and the dense throng at the intersection of State and Madison streets grew denser still. It was just before sunset, and the mighty heart of Chi cago's business center throbbed with the feverish energy that marked the closing hours of another day of toll, and the hurfying homeward of restless, eager thousands. The swiftly moving streams of humanity that are wont to meet in eddying whirls in this dizzy vortex and then diverge and move onward again, each in its destined course, had sudden ly become blocked and chaos reigned. Pushed toward the common center by the ever hurrying throngs afoot, in car riages and in street cars, and unable to extricate themselves, men, women and children gasped for breath, and the crowd ill the streets and on the side walks overfowed into alleys and surged hither and won like the resistless ebh and flow of mighty sea.
 A policeman on the outskirts of the dense throng climbed lamppost, and from his elevated. position surveyed the scene.
 "Give him air." he shouted sternly, waving his club. Give him air!"
 Whats the natter inquired 8 hun- dred voices as he climbed down.
 "I don't know, he answered, and with gloomy, lowering brow he strutted up the street, disappeared down short flight of stairs, from which a few mo- ments later he emerged, wiping his mouth, and in the same stern, uncon- promising way he walked a block far ther and sent in fire alarm.
 Meanwhile the surging multitude at State and Madison grew every moment more appalling and inextricable. Something must be done. Fiercely elbowing his way through the crowd, newspaper reporter at last was seen bearing down toward the cen ter of the compact mass. His hat was off, his hair flying in the wind, and his face was deathly pale, but with set teeth and dilated nostrils he tore his way along, thrusting to the right and left every one who opposed his progress.
 Reaching the center of the throng he seized two individuals by their arms, and in the same resolute, fearless way opened a passage for them to the outside, and, as if by magic, the vast concourse dis solved; the converging streams of hu- manity whirled and eddied as before, and the business heart of the great city throbbed again.
 The reporter had conjectured rightly. The blockade was caused by two women who had met in the exact center of the street and stopped to tell each other the troubles they were having with their hired girls.-Chicago Tribune.

their heads singed by the fire that had swept oyer and around them. Ever. . where destruction was visible. Nothing had escaped the fury of the flames; even the brown earth itself seemed nothing but a barren. smoking waste.
 Soon the men, the fathers and brothers and friends of the children, gathered from all directions, expecting to find only the smouidering remains of loved ones. In- stead, they beheld them alive andswell, through the presence of mind of their young teacher having passed through the fire unhal med.
 Natalie looked amazed when they began to extol her bravery. She had simply done her duty, she insisted, no thought of heroism ever having entered her mind.
 "That is the kind of courage that counts" said one of the fathers, as he pressed his little daughter to his heart. People who perform duties with an eye to heroism are usually disappointed" l Natalie could not be convinced that she deserved the honors thrust upon her, but that did not make her prize less highly the beautiful jewelled watch which the patrons of 4he school bestowed upon her, in token of their appreciation of her bravery and rare presence of mind on that ever memorable day of the fire-storm.

Gradually I reasoned to the conclusion that this must be the work of Link Mur- phy himself. That was the telegram he had sent MT. Pearson-a message that was bringing the old gentleman on post haste to Cincinnati.
 I was too happy to care for my shabby friends disappointment or profanity. I positively smiled at the thought of what he would do when he learned that really was not Link Murphy, and that the real Link Murphy had swindled him out of one hundred dollars.
 There is little more to be said. Mir. Pearson, taking hold of the case in a business-li like way, soon strengthened the matter out. I was kept in custody two days in comfortable quarters under guard, postponing the marriage just that long. I was happy and miserable, of course, un- til I walked off free man, and then was altogether happy. 1 even forgave quite heartily my shabby friend, the de. tective. :4-
 The night of the wedding we found among scores of letters and telegrams O. congratulations this note:
 "Mr. and Mrs. Parker M. Leonard: wish you long, useful and happy life to gether. Be good enough in your happi ness to forget the suffering have caused you, and to accept the heartfelt congratl lations of John Lloyd Evans"

"YerY" with a Verb.

"Pleased," in the expression every pleased" is nothing more than the past participle passive of ''please" used as an adjective. Very" so far as l am aware, is never used with any other part of 8 verb, and then only when that part has become adjective by usage. The following quotation from Pope's "Dun- clad" shows its use as an adjective: Thou triumph'st, Victor of the high wrought
 day,
 And the pleas'd dame, soft smiling, lead'st
 away.
 A similar use of the word is when we say a persons face has Ca pleased ex- pression." This being the case it is as correct to say every pleased" as to say every much pleased" Annandale's "Im- perial Dictionary" subject "Very," has:
 Among old writers very was fre- quently used alone to modify past participle, and it is still to some extent so used; thus, Sir w. Jones has very concerned' Gibbon, very unqualified;' Sydney Smith, very altered, etc."
 As there is no verb unqualify, un- qualified can be nothing else but an ad- jective, and concerned and altered come under the same part of speech. When we say, II am very pleased" there is no action implied, but there is simply g description of the state or condition in which one is at the time of speaBing.- F. c.

Her Rule 6f Life.

Mrs. Little was woman greatly re- spected in the little neighborhood where she lived. Her friends and neighbors often spoke of her knowledge of Bible teachings, and few were the occasions when she did not remind them of her attainments by some apt quotation.
 "How is it, Mrs. Little" asked neigh. bor one day, "that you can always re- member some suitable quotation for everything that happensT'
 "Oh, I don't know," responded the good woman with a pleased smile, ''un- less 'tis because I always act on what ssy. Now, whenever see folks provoked jest associate it with Let not the sun go down upon your wrath
 "I've always acted on that myself. l made it rule when was young never to let the sun go down when was mad. And so it is with other things, and l spose that's one reason I remember."- Youths Companion.

"Why," she said, flor years after l suffered from the west form of dyspepsia, with gas and fermentation of food, and terrible spasms that seemed to start at the stomach and rise to the head.
 'tEven the lightest food caused great pain and distress after eating, and also suffered with great exhaustion, dizziness of the head, and weakness of the limbs, so that could scarcely stand on my feet.

The Pottery Tr, :, of Brazil.

The pottery tree, found in Brazil, is curious and useful. One would scarcely expect to find pots and jars and pitchers growing in if not on a tree, but the ma terial for them certainly grows in this tree. It is found in the form of silica, chiefly in the bark, although the very hard wood of the tree also yields it. To make this curious pottery the bark is burned, and what remains is ground to powder and mixed with clay. - liar ner's Young People.

GOOD NIGHT.

There is a tender sweetness about
some of our common phrases of affec-
tionate greeting, simple and unobtru-
sive as they are, which falls like dew
upon the heart, Goodnight. The lit
tie one lisps it as, gowned in white,
with shining face and hands, and
PRAYERS said she toddles off to bed.
Sisters and brothers exchange the
wish: parents and children friends
and friends. Familiar use has robbed
it of it's significance to some of us; we
repeat il automatically without much
thought. But consider. We are, as
voyagers, putting off from time
upon an uneXplored sea. Our barques
of life set sail and go onward into the
darkness and we, asleep on our pill
lows, take no such care as we do when
awake and journeying by daylight.
OF the perls of the night, whatever
they may be, We take no heed. An
unsieeping vigilance watches over us,
but it is the vigilance of one stronger
and wiser than we, who is the Eternal
Good. Good and God spring from the
same root, are the same in meaning.
Good by is only God be with you. ="
Good night' is really Goodnight, "
or God guard the night"
1t would be a churlish household in
which these gentle forms of speech
were ignored or did not exist. Alike
the happy and the sorrowful, day by
day, may say Goodnight"
