The dress was of rich purple cloth and
was princess shape, but very full around
the skirt, which was left open in front
over a maize satin breadth, and this had
three rows of graduated widths of white
lace. The corsage was garnished with
reyers of maize The little cape differed
scarcely at all from those of last season
1t had a deep frin of white lace and
rows of gold braid ON the collar. The
hat matched the rest.
Green is also fashionable color, and
a gown of green bengaline, with dark
er green band around the bottom, was
much admired There was a panel of
black silk and lace at the side. The
waist was of brocades, with black velvet
revers- There was a small mantelet OF
black fable, with one deep lace fril1
around the neck, and an incroyable
bow. A narrow black lace was laid fat
ON the tabs and the lower ruffie- The
brocade was in two shades of green, with
russell red flowers. The bonnet was
trimmed with green and had flowers of

Not Shot, but Cut.

The statement made yesterday
on the authority of Henry Poor to
the effect that a horse of his was
shot, proves, on investigation, to
have been an error. DIR. Monsarrat,
the veterinary surgeon, has exam
ined the animal and states posi-
lively that the horse had not been
shot, but had injured itself by roll
ing over a sharp stone or other
bark substance, making a deep
cut, which caused the horse to go
lame.

MR.. FIRTH AND THE POLICE
he Is Arrested on Palace Walk
Without ANY Cause.

Late Wednesday evening Mr.. Firth.
who is here to interview several plant
ers with the idea of introducing coolie
labor, was arrested by Mounted Po-
liceman Wichart, with, seemingly, no
special cause beyond the fact that the
policeman said he was acting rather
suspiciously in the neighborhood of
the Executive Building. Upon reach
ing the station house, Mr.. Firth was
imm ediately released, and asked to
come to the MarshaPs office next day
and explain the matter. 1t looked SO
no particular Importance, that it was
not even published in the ADvER-
User of yesterday.
But it turns out, according to the
authorities, after an investigation,
that there was absolutely no reason
whatever for Mr.. Firth's arrest, and
that it was simply a case of man
overstepping his authority on personal
grounds.
Mr. Firth, who was walking on Pal
ace walk with two ladies, was looking
into the grounds of the Executive
Building, when Wichart came along
and stopped in front of the trio and
closely seruUinized them. Mr.. Firth
asked what he wanted, and was told
that the policeman wanted to know
who he was. Mr.. Firth then made
some protest about the matter, and
was promptly arrested and taken down
to the station, being denied the privi-
lege of going in carriage. This made
him, naturally, very indignant, and
he was not mplimentary in his re-
marks concerning the department.
ing and explained the matter to Dep
uty Marshal Brown. 1t was stated at
the station yesterday that Wichart
was to be discharged on account Of
the arrest.

actually brought to Apia to be pre-
sented TO the king.

far as Saluafata, but there is slight
probability of their coming any nearer

just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-04-06
WAINAKU, Hno, HAWAII,
January 22d, 1894.

EoS. WIN. g. IRWIN, Honolulu, n. /.
DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours OF Il :
18th inst. regarding the National Cane
shredder furnished by the I 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 l see OF
its capabilities, the better pleased L am
that | put il in, as l am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
IL is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity il necessary. IL delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
20 the three roller mill, which receives it
without the Intervention Cf 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 az men daily
on the mill, as only one man IS required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from to
5 per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally a serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as il 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 Oft,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Vegas from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the fremen
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
l will be pleased to Lave call from
parties interested, as it is necessary to
see the machine at work to fully appre-
ciate its capabilities.
l remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.

rRmpLE-srRREr IMPROVEMENT.

The opinion is frequently expressed
that Temple street, on account OF the
large traffic upon it. ought to be
widened. 1t would be wide enough for
all practical purposes were it not so
largely occupied by cable car line, and
even with that line it would answer all
requirements for many years to come. If
not forever. II it were put in the best
possible condition with it's present
width. The chief difficulty arises from
its neglect. II it were accommodated
with asphaltum pavement it would be
wider practically than it is without
such pavement. Where this kind
of pavement is laid down the
driveway is good from curb to
curb, no space being taken up by gut
tiers. A street with this kind OF road
way is practically couple OF yards
wider than it would be with most any
other sort OF pavement. But in order
to render ssphaltum pavement practic-
able on Temple street it will be neces-
sary to cut down Bunker hill. That
hill, on its western slope, is 80 steep as
to preclude go smooth surface as that
made by asphaltum or any similar sub
stance. With this hill reduced ae pro-
posed and with good bituminous pave
ment throughout. Temple street, even
with the cable road upon it, will be-
come one of the busiest thoroughfares
in the city. The amount of traffic that
naturally falls to its lot by reason
of it's location is very great. 1t is the
inlet to the city for the Cahuenga and
San Fernando valleys, and the popula-
ton OF these valleys is increasing with
wonderful rspidity. 1t is quite remark
able that this great highway and Main
street, the two principal out-of-t town
thoroughfares, are found to be in the
worst condition Of any streets in the
city. If citizens owning property on
those two thoroughfares neglect or OPP
pose the needed improvements it stands
the city in hand to assume the respon-
sibility and see to it that they are putin
order, even against the will and wish OF
people who are blind to their own inter-
eets.

ART IN WATCH WORK.
A Branch of Mechanics Which Has
Made Gigantic Strides.
The Importance OF Having Any Feces-
sRry Repairs on Watch Done bya
Colnpetant Man Many Fine
Timepieces Ruined by
Poor Work.

"Whats the timer" is question which every
man is asked, on an average, at least once
day And how notifying it is to be forced to
reply, "My watch is out OF order" And yet
everyones watch does get out OF order at some
period or other. Like every delicate me chan-
ism it has its bad times. Then there is a very
important question to decide. 1t is "What
jeweier sha ] the watch be taken tor" An in
competent mechanic will do as much damage
as a cyclone in Kansas town. Therefore, the
jeweler should be carefully sele ted. There is
ut least one in town who may he relied upon
for first class work and goad Judgment. M.
German, No. 800 South Spring street, realizing
the importance of go watch WORK. has made
a specially of it In his business. He employs
three of the finest watchmakers to be found in
the country. ALI have had ears OF experience,
and Mr.. German therefe fore feels perfectly safe
in guaranteeing their work, which he does for
all his custom ers Another specially of this
esta blishment is in man ufacturlng jewelry.
Whether the job be only nall one of per.
haps only dimes worth, or presentation
piece worth many hundreds OF dollars, it is
equally well handled. Twenty mechanics of
tbs highest class are employ ed, and every de-
partmeni of jswelry manufacturing is repre-
sented should you have anything to be re-
paired or design TO b. m dc up, or need any
thing in the line of jewelry, go to No. 800
South Spring street, and secure work in the
highest style o f the art.
