If you need d lamp for read
ing we can imagine nothing
more suitable in the way OF
stand lamps than the decorat-
ed ones we show you, the
shade and stand decorated to
match. The burners are the
best made by the Rochester
people and just the kind to
suit people who do not use
electric lights.
Everybody uses rubber hose
and nearly every one buys it
from US, because they get a
better quality for less money.
For people whose hose is not
damaged beyond repair, we
have the celebrated "Kemp-
shall member that makes hose
as good as new, in spots, in
less time than it takes to
think about it, but for people
whose hose is too far gone to
be mended, we can offer the
best selected stock of hose ever
offered in the city. We also
sell a Hose Reel that keeps
your hose in first-class condi-
ton without half trying.
The red and white glassware
is prettier than half the people
imagine, and part of it is cut
just the same as pieces that
sell for ten times as much.
For lemonade or claret tank
ards there is nothing more
suitable.
Our Haviland China is ac-
knowledged by people who
know what really good China
is to be the most desirable
ware sold in Honolulu. In
strong contrast with Haviland,
we have common English
crockery for kitchen, planta-
ton or restaurant use. They
are made strong enough to
drop on the floor without
breaking.

PROF. BERGER ROBBED
able Papers and Other
Articles.

On last Sunday morning Prof.
Berger had occasion to refer to
some of his private papers, which
he always keeps in a strong black
tin box in the top drawer of his
bureau. Judge of his surprise upon
opening the drawer to find the box
had vanished hence. An investi-
CATION proved that a gold pin and
some cologne bottles were also
missing from the bureau, though
nothing else about the premises
had been disturbed. The loss of
the tin box is a serious one to Prof.
Berger, as it contained all his pri-
vate papers, receipts and life insur-
ance policy. The professor thinks
the box was stolen several days
ago, and says the only way in
which an entrance could have been
effected into his residence was by
the back door. On one occasion
the key to this door was stolen
from the lock and is still in the
possession of the thief. Prof.
Berger respectfully requests the
person who stole the articles to
be kind enough to return his pa
pers and keep the box and other
articles. The matter will be placed
in the hands of the police today.

WE will take the liberty of ask
ing the Bulletin just two simple
questions, and would like, as we
think we have right to expect,
straightforward answers, without
quibbling or evasion. First, do you
believe that the government ex-
poets, or anticipates or fears any
revolt or mutiny in the ranks of
their soldiers? and, second, do you
yourself believe in the probability
of any such occurrence?

Test in Real Attack.

WASHINGTON, August 2.-An in
teresting experiment to determine the
effect on projectile and plate in
attack, with the latter Inclined at an
angle, took place at the Indian Head
proving grounds yesterday. The at
tack was made with an 8-inch Shot,
ster projectile, given velocity of 1900
feet, against an 8inch armor plate
made for the Monterey. The projec-
tile struck at an angle of twenty-five
degrees with the normal and entered
the plate at all angle Of thirty degrees.
The penetration was about nine inches
on the line of i'm pact
The projectile went nearly through
the plate but broke up, the point re-
manning i'll the hole. The point was
was cracked and the base pieces were
thrown TO the rear considerable dis
lance. A small piece of the point of
the shell passed through the plate
about two inches. Two more Shots
will be fired in day or two with
different degrees of inclination.

With the rainbows on her forehead
And the seaweed at her feet
And the trailing mi~ts EMBODIED
Round about her body sweet
So she stands amid the crOSsways
OF the western salt-sea main,
Looking east and looking westward
Far across the azure plain
With a questioning smile of welcome
And the shadows in her eyes,
From her night of clouded dreaming
And her Weakening OF surprise.

UNIQUE ADVERTISING.
A Bicycle Which Apparently
Runs Itself.

Runs Itself.
For an hour yesterday afternoon
there was gathered a crowd of spec
tators in front os and opposite the
makci window of the Pacific Hard
ware Company's store, the object
of interest being a columbia
Model" 30-inch pneumatic tire BIZ
cycle, which has been on exhibition
there for several days, and which
apparently has taken legs" and is
running at speed of 158 miles an
hour.
The weight being less than thirty
pounds, it is suspended by fine wire
which keeps it free from the floor.
The power giving it momentum is
transmitted from the Hawaiian
Electric Compapy's plant on King
street, and is conveyed through the
wire which furnishes the light in
the same window.
A number of lockers on were,
naturally enough, puzzled to know
"Why the thing don't STOP" but
somewhat wiser heads conjecture
on what part the numerous wires
play in the matter.
1t will be running for several
afternoon, from 3 to 5 o'clock, and
will, no doubt, continue to prove of
interest to the general public, and
at the same time rebound to the
credit and ingenuity of the bicycle
agent

\ few months ago we called
your attention to these Goods
and to the fact that we would
soon be prepared to supply
you. It's so long since, you
have probably forgotten all
about it.
We had commenced to think
ourselves that the manufac-
turers had mislaid our order,
and on writing to ascertain
the delay were informed that
the demand was so great that
each order had to be taken in
turn, and ours being away
down on the list, it would take
some time to reach it.
We had these goods made up
in BALBRIGGAN, as they are the
incest and coolest goods to
wear.
In the backs and fronts of
these Shirts, pure, soft wool
has been skllIfully woven to
protect the lungs from cold.
To those who cannot wear
all-wool garments, these goods
are a boon.
New and fresh from the
looms, a novelty never before
introduced here, and an abso-
lutte necessity to those who de-
sire to maintain their health.

A Considerable Suicide.

Charles Davis, well-known south of
Market street politician, committed suicide
in his room at 261 MiDna street yesterday
morning by shooting himself through the
head. Davis had recently been discharged
as guard at San Quentin prison. and II Is
supposed that deSoondency from inability
TO secure another position was the cause Of
his rash act. Daniel VOORHEES,, the pro-
prietor OF the lodging-house, heard the shot
fired at about 3 o'clock yesterday morning
but paid no attention to it, surprising that II
was irecracker used by some Chlnaman
celebrating the Chinese New Year. 1t was
not until 9:40 o'clock that the body was
discovered. when the chambermaid went to
clean up the room. Davis was found dead
on the bed. his head hanging over the side,
and he had sufficient consideration for his
landlord TO place cuspidor where 1t would
catch the blood alter he had shot himself.
There was not even a splash OF blood on
the bedclothing. Davis was 55years of age.
