OLD GLORY.
Mr. Campbell Wants 1t Hauled
Down.

On Saturday the Executive Com
mittee of the Annexation Club
swung the American flag across
Merchant street, from the Camp
bell block to McInerny's building.
News of the proposed raising of the
flag reached the ears Of the prop
rietor of the structure first men,
toned, and the following letter,
which he sent TO the committee,
would seem to indicate that he did
not quite like the contemplated
ornament to Merchant street;
HoNoLULU, HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,
March 25th, 1898. {
To the Executive Committee, Annex
alton Club.
SIRs: / hereby protest against and
forbid you using the sides or any
part of the top of my buildings for
the purpose OF sticking streamers or
flags across Fort or Merchant streets.
You are entitled to, and / am per-
fectly willing to accord you, quiet
possession of room No. 6, rented to
you, but l most distinctly deny TO
you any privileges outside Of the oc
cupancy of said room.
If my actions do not meet with
your approval, and you SO desire, you
can vacate said room No. 6 and I will
remit you rent in proportion.
Yours, etc,
JAMES CAMPBELL.

Room 6 which is now the head
quarters of the Annexation Club,
is the old Chamber of Commerce
room and does not open upon Mer-
chant street. The committee there
fore applied to the American Con-
sui for permission to use one of his
windows for their lines. The per-
mission was of course at once &C
corded, and this circumstance also
being brought to Mr.. CampbelPs
notice, he sent the Consul a letter
of like purport to the above, but
emitting all reference to leaving
the building.
The committee hung out the
glorious old flag, in blissful ignor-
ance of Mr.. Campbells epistolary
propensities. In consequence, they
brought upon themselves another
missive. Here it is:
Honolulu, II. l., Mar. II, 1893.
Executive Committee OF the Annexa-
ton Club;
SIRs: You are hereby notified to
quit possession Of Room 6 adjoining
American Consulate, Campbell block,
Merchant street, on expiration Of
your present month, ending April
"a, 1898 Yours, ETC.,
JAMES CAMPBELL.
And there the matter stands.
The American Consul was inter-
viewed by an ADVERTISER repre-
sentative on the subject. II took
the letter back to Mr.. Campbell, !"
said the Consul, ''and told him I
didn't want communications Of
that kind. [ had nothing to do
with it. I asked him what flag he
wanted hung out, the Irish flag?
No, he said, he wanted protect
crate"
In the meanwhile the flag still
floats over Merchant street, sight
good for sore eyes.

WHEN FnYINa.

In frying it must be remembered
that the bath of oil or drippings
should be sufficient in quantity to sub
merge the articles to be fried. and hot
enough to coagulate every part of
their surface in an instant. However,
the temperature of the bath may vary
according TO the kind of feed that is
10 be cooked. For instance croquettcs
and oysters require but minute or two
-doughnuts eight or ten minutes, and
raw potato balls some minutes longer.
Pure olive oil is the finest frying
medium known to the cook, but it Is
too expensive for the average house,
keeper. The next best medium is
beef drippings, well clarified, which
is far superior to lard. But OF all
materials for frying purposes "cook-
ing butter" (Which usually means low
grade, rancid butter) is the worst.
Why cooking butter" should find a
place outside of the soap fat crock is
one of the things we cannot under
stand.-[Ncw York World.

There is no question "a to tho de.ri--

physician, will tell you of the unwhole-
some qualities they add to the food.
Some countries have absolutely pro-
hibited the sale OF bread containing
alum.
Even small doses Of alum, given to
children, have produced fatal results,
while cases of heartburn, indiges ton,
gripping, constipation, dyspepsia, and
varlotls kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane,
caused by the continuous use OF food
prepared with the alum or alum phos.
phate powders, are familiar in the prac-
tice Of every physician.
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article Of food that
will injurc tue health of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chill.
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum powders
he distinguished And how shall the
danger to health from their use be
avoided2
Generally, alum powders may be known
from the price at which they arc sold,
u from the fact TINT they arc accom-
panied by gift, are disposed of under
some scheme. The alum powder costs
out few cents pound to make, and IS
often sold at 20 or % cents a pound.
II some present is gwen with it, the
price may be 80, 40 or 80 cents pound.

cream oil tartar powders, accompanied by

scheme, is of this class, detrimental to
health, and to be avoided.
But the easy, sac, and certain protec-
ton of our bread, biscuit and cake from
all danger of Embellishments is in the
use OF the Royal Baking Powder only.
| This powder is mentioned because OF the
iunumerable reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. s. Gov.
eminent, and by the official chemists and
Boards of Health, which leave no doubI
as to its entire freedom from alum, lime
and ammonia, its absolute purity and
wholesomeness. While its use is thus 0
safeguard against the poisonous alum
powders it is satisfactory at the same
time to know that it makes the whitest
lightest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist and fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with i'm
munity hot or cold, stale or fresh, ant
also that owing to its greater strength
is more economical than others.

He Causes a CoinInotion in Municipal
Court, But Proves to be Cousin of
the Departed Noah.
Frederick Ruley, colored, was charged
by Mary Evans, in municipal court on
Thursday, with aggravated assault and
battery. The latter testified that the as
sault occurred on Liberty street, Tues.
day night. She said Ruley knocked her
down with stone. She was rendered
unconscious.
Ruley was allowed TO take the stand
in his own behalf, and denied having
struck the woman with brick.
The next witness called was named
Noah Benson. His appearance caused
some commotion in the municipal court
room and State Detective McVey, who
was present, looked greatly puzzled. The
confusion was due to the fact that one
Noah Benson was murdered at Della
ware City nearly two years ago and his
headless body thrown into the canal.
Daniel Miller, George Henry HUT and
Jim Johnson are serving life sentence
in New Castle Jail for this murder.
Judge Ball asked the witness if he
was the Delaware City Noah Benson
The man Immediately replied that he
was the Dover Noah Benson, and played
no part in the Delaware City murder
mystery. The living Benson admitted
that he was a first cousin TO the de
parted Noah, and with this explanation
the case proceeded. The testimony
threw no new light upon the assault.
Ruley was compelled to pay fine o
