Ladies Column.

The shoe dealers must be
doing a good business Judging
from the amount of Hosiery
we are selling, for nearly all
the barefoots in town have
taken advantage of our stock
and prices. There is a sus-
picion that the more extensive
buyers intend to lay in a stock
for future use. It's all right,
we bought them to sell and
knew you could not resist the
temptation.
SATURDAY, August 4th we
will make another run
on Hosiery, and will in
clude some for hubby. Fast
Black Socks that he is foolish
enough to pay So a dozen for
you can make pin money by
buying them of us at 50 per
dozen, and at the same time
get yourself a supply of Tan
Colored Hosiery to match your
prettylittle tan boot. They will
please him as we'll as yourself,
and talking about pleasing,
more comfort and smiles have
found their birthplace in P.D.
Corsets that wearers of other
corSets are aware of. Did you
ever try them? If not, do so
by all means; in the meantime
fit yourself and the little ones
out with some of the following:
Compromise Bodice Waists.
Equipoise Ladies Waists.
JeanesS Miller Waists.
Children's Double We Waists in summer
and winter weights.
Children's Refer Jackets.
Chldren's Long Cashmere Goats.
All this class of goods will
receive an awful cut this week.
Another thing, let us say, there
is no use fixing yourself up, I'M
less you do the home. Tusore
Draperies for curtains and
divans make q room look more
cheerful than it would without
them-and yet were we to
quote you our prices here you
will say: oh, we'll, Ehlers is
selling them so cheap every
body will have Them" to
which we say yes; the first
come will, for the stock is
limited. Double width Serges,
all wool. go at 30 cents a yard
this week.
If we have heard it once
since we started this LADIES
COLUMN, we have heard it a
hundred times-not from peo-
pie who have dealt with us for
years. but new trade that has
come in for bargains: why,
we thought you always
sold such a high class of goods
that your prices must be
high" We do sell a high
class of goods, but the truth
of the matter is we are buying
direct from the manufacturer
for cash, and are satisfied with
a smaller profit than most
dealers. It's a fact worth
keeping in mind.

National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

Inc attention or HlanterS
and Agents is called to the
following letter from Mr..
JOHN A. ScoTT, Manager of
the Hilo Sugar Co., regarding
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has
just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:
WAISAKU, Huo, HAWAII,
January 22d, 1S94.|
Hon. WM. q. IRWIN, HoNoLULU, Ii. l.
DEAR SIR:-ln reply to yours OF II
10th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. OF New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
would beg to say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more i see OF
its capabilities, the better pleased / am
that put it in, as l am satisfied that il
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons of
cane every - hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity if necessary. It delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives it
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four al men daily
on the mill, as only one man IS required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. II has
increased the extraction from 4 to
5 per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But l find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel, and the fre. On
have less difficulty in maintaining a uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
l will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 20
see the machine at work to fully app g.
ciate its capabilities.
l remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.

wPlans for erection of
these shredders may be seen
at the Office of the Agents,
where prices and other parti-
culars may also be obtained.

and the inhospitality which would have
been SHOWN them would have caused
