The Pioche Record says that while
sone miners were cleaning out an
abandoned tunnel near that town

eton OF a human body, resting in u
nicho or seam OF the rock. Frag-
monts OF clothing and whiskcrs still

found an old fashioned rifle, the
stock OF which showed considerable
dry rot and tho barrel, though r lsted

StoWaWays to Return.

Young Jackson and the two
other stowaways on board the
steamship Australia will be re-
turned to San Francisco on that
vessel today. They are locked up
in the mail room and are being fed
on low rations. The chief officer
of the Australia has warned several
suspicious-looking persons about
the O. s. S. Co.'s dock that if they
are caught stealing a free passage
to San Francisco it will be his
bounden duty to. return them to
Honolulu and hand them over to
the authorities, who will exact a
fine of $50 from each stowaway.
Such warning is enough to discour-
age those who try to evade the
passport law.

Do You Use Perfume?

Messrs. Hebron & Newman, the
enterprising Fort street druggists,
have gone extensively into the
manufacture of perfumery, and
have recently placed three new
brands upon the market which are
already enjoying very lucrative
sale. Connoisseurs pronounce these
perfumes to be far superior to the i'm
ported article. The reason for
such being the case is easily dis
cernible from the fact that the in
gradients used in their manufacture
are of the purest kind and enjoying
also the advantage of being pre-
pared in such a manner as to give
them a delightful aroma and last
ing effect. Messrs. Hebron q New
man announce that they will pay
especial attention to the manufac-
ture and sale of their new perfumes
and hopes those who use the article
will give them a trial.
