the bottom. The waist was made with
coat effect, with velvet revers, and
opening over a full vest Of The same
shade OF golden brown satin.
The girl wore dark russell shoes, brown

with brown velvet aud several brown

A GOOD WORD FOR MR.. WILLIS.

The excitement attending the ar
rival and departure of the Corwin
having subsidized, we hope that our
citizens will be fair and just to-
wards Mr.. Willis. His position is
not one of his own creation. 1t was
made by his master. He did not
seek trouble but was ordered to
make it. The sins of the principals
are often visited on the heads of
the agents. If his temper has not
been altogether lovely in making
his answers to questions regarding
his use of force in restoring the ex-
queen, it must be remembered that
he was instructed to perform
difficult job. Don't use force, but
don't let them know that you won't
use it." A nobleman said to the
artist who was about to paint his
portrait; ''In painting my portrait
paint that of my valet standing be-
hind me, but so that he cannot be
SEEN" Instructions are often diff
cult to execute.
Mr.. Willis, knows, for he must
read some books, that in no mod
ern time has an envoy been sent to
express good will towards govern
ment and at the same time ordered
peremptorily to compass, instigate
and procure the destruction of that
government. He knows, further
more, that he never would have
been ordered to do so if we had
numbered fifty millions of people;
that the "high sense of Justice"
which inspired his instructions was
accompanied with an equally high
and lively sense ofsuperior strength.
Mr.. Willis is not responsible for all
this. Ifhe stands out in diplomatic
history, as one of the parties to a
queer and novel diplomatic esca-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-01-12

pade, he must thank his principal
for it. His character and ours, as
good Christians, are to be tested
in the future. It may occur to him
that Christian spirit and temper
are not incompatible with true
craftsmanship. Still, he may feel
like the darby preacher who made
this reply to an inquiry 81 reckons
Use broke all de commandments,
but tank de Lord 1 keeps my re-
igun." and, while he may cultivate
for private use that which is the
greatest of all-charity-he may
feel that his public mission here
will be to 'get even" with us poor
Hawaiian worms of the dust. The
mothers in Honolulu, who, after
the arrival of the Corwin, bent over
their babes in prayer, anxiously
inquiring if the guns of the Phila-
delphia and Adams were shotted
for them, gratefully thank him that
he ordered the Death Angel to
touch, but not rest on their pillows.
It is now in order that we cultivate
charity and forgiveness.

CELEBRATE THE DAY.

The celebration of the 18th has
been objected to on the ground that
it will interfere with the work or
the plantations. No doubt it will,
and no doubt that three holidays
in three weeks are one more: at
any rate, than the planters would
choose. But circumstances stronger
than any individual plan or will
have made the 18th of January the
greatest day in Hawaiian history,
the one of all most fit to be marked
by every manifestation of joy. We
believe the planters recognize these
facts as well as others. and that
while they have more to lose than
any other class by dropping a day
in the midst of the busiest season,
they will be as forward as any
other to join in suitable celebra-
ton of the great holiday.
The setting apart of this day has
been objected to also because we
are not "out of the woods" yet. We
are unable to discover any force in
this objection. No people which
does not rest in slavish quies-
cence, is ever out of the woods.
Every year brings its new prob
LENS, its new dangers, some of |
them bold enough to imperil all |
the accumulated stores of civiliza-
ton. The gains of 1776 are not
finally secured, for free institutions
are still on trial in the United
States. We cannot sleep over our
treasures. Yet they are not the
less ours because they must be
guarded. The 18th of January is !
not less glorious or less fit to be /
celebrated because its gains may
be forfeited by cowardice and
irresolution, or taken away by an
act of insolent oppression.
Let us then celebrate the 18th of
January because it has made us
free. If the United States shall
ever choose to strip us of this free
dom, let the shame and obloquy of
it fall upon them.

FRANK S. PRATT DEAD.
He Passes Away Late Yesterday
Afternoon.

F. S. Pratt, one of the best
known men in Honolulu, died yes
terday afternoon at about 4 o'clock
Mr.. Pratt has been i'll for a long
time, and his death has been ex
pected for some days. The i'm
mediate cause of his death was
dropsy.
Franklin Seaver Pratt was born
November 1, 1929, in Boston, Mass,
and was educated at the Franklin
Institute. He came to this country
in 1850 and remained here for a few
months and then went to San
Francisco, where he accepted a po-
sition In q mercantile firm. He re-
manned on the Coast for several
years, and then returned to this
country. In 1864 Mr.. Pratt mar
ried Miss Elizabeth Kekaaniau Laa-
nui, the daughter of chief, who
has ever since been his faithful
companion and helper. At that
time Mr.. Pratt was connected with
Mr.. Luddington, in the merchan-
dising business. He was afterward
engaged in different capacities with
Mr.. G. A. Williams, until finally he
assumed the agency of the Phoenix
Guano Islands Company, which he
held for seven or eight years. In
the last named business Mr.. Pratt
made considerable money. After
giving up this agency he made
trip home to visit his father and
brother. When he returned he
started the Waimanalo sugar plan
tation in which he had an interest.
During his connection with this
plantation he had the steamer
Waimanalo built, and vent to the
Coast to bring her down. When
Mr.. Pratt, after a great many Wis
cissitudes, had placed the planta-
ton on a firm basis he went, in |
1881, to Olowalu, and took |
share in that plantation. He |
stayed there about one year. This |
proved very unsuccessful venture
and Mr.. Pratt lost nearly every
thing. Leaving Olowalu he came
to Honolulu and engaged ia the
business with Mr.. l.. J.
Levey. 1t was while thus engaged
that he was offered the office of
of Public Accounts, which
position he filled in capable and
satisfactory manner until he was
appointed Consul-General at San
where he was succeeded
by Mr.. Charles Wilder when the
Provisional Government came into
power. During all of Mr.. Pratt's
ong career in this country he had
he confidence of the entire bust
ness community, and one of the
I'D familiar landmarks has passed
away. Mr.. Pratt never had any
children of his owD. His father
Ind mother died short time ago.
He has four sisters and one brother
living, who reside in Boston. One
f his sisters is the widow of G.
Brewer, known here as G. Brewer
he second.

In order that people may
have sharp carving knives
and thus appreciate the good
meat set before them, we
have imported a stock of
Frank WaIcot's Knife
Sharpener." This continuance
is made of compressed emery
and is shaped like a scythe
stone, but much smaller in
size. 1t far surpass6s the con-
ventional carver's steel for the
reason that the action is
quicker and the edge more
even. This instrument is
much harder than steel and
will sharpen anything from
the blades of the finest scissors
to the wits of a dullard. AS
it will "file a fle," it will be
found particularly useful
among the hands on sugar
