A man strikes a red
pepper in his soup he receives an
impression, and impressions are
lasting. How can we impress it
upon you that it is really your duty
to trade with us, that our prices and
service are better than elsewheref
Perhaps we can impress you in this
way: Money talks, talks cents too.
1t persuades the stubborn and con-
vinces the skeptic. We know of no
such pleader as a LOW PRICE
and we have tried to make its voice
heard in every nook and corner of
our store. 1t would only tire you if
we gave you a list of the many
different articles we have just receiv-
ed per "Senta" from England, "Amy
Turner" from New York, and the
"Rithet" and Australia" from San
Francisco, but we have the goods,
and if you call on Us you will get an
impression or two. First, they are
FIRST-CLASS and second, that our
prices are LOW.

guns range from S12 to sos in price,
but we find the S35 gun gives just
about the right amount of exercise
for this climate-that is we judge SO
from the way they sell. After using
one of our Winchester Military
Rifles till you can get inside an g.

will find not only is the tired feeling
gone, but you have learned to be
cool and careful-things that will
serve you well in other ways than
rife shooting.

cent and sold them for two and said
he made one per cent. profit. We do
not commit business suicide by try
ing to make the Irishman's one per

If you prefer boating and yachting
to shooting, you will find we have
most of the material needed to
either build yacht or boat or keep
it in repair when built, and you do
not have to buy any more than you
need, as we have everything handy to

The Hawaiian Republic Accorded Full
Recognition by Japan.

Minister of Foreign Affairs F. NJ.
Hatch received notification by the
Mariposa, through the Hawaiian
Legation at Washington, that R..
W. Irwin, Hawaiian Minister Resi-
dent to Japan, had been received
by the Emperor, and full recogni-
ton accorded the Hawaiian Repub-
lie. Such an action on the part of
Japan shows clearly that not the
slightest degree Of friction exists
between that country and the Ha-
waiian Republic, Notwithstanding
all that has been said and written
concerning the threatened attitude
Of Japan in the matter of CONNER
eial intercourse and introduction
of that class of labor into the isl
ands. It also proves conclusively
that Japan does not desire to go on
record as being the last civilized
nation to give recognition when
such recognition is due and unac-
corded.

PAAUILo (Hawaii), Sept. 21.-At a
meeting held at the office of Mr.. Chas.
Motley, at Paauilo, on the evening OF
the Goth inst. for the purpose of nomi-
mating candidates for the Senate from
Hawaii and for Representatives for
the First District of Hawaii puma,
Hilo and Hamakua), the following
named gentlemen were present: AL
bert Horner, Robert Horner and f.
Madden, of Kukaiau; Chas. Motley,
James r. Renton, A. Lydgate, A.
Ramsay, J. w. Leonhart, w. Bache-
berg, of Paauilo; ]. Watt of Honokaa;
D. Forbes, w. Horner, of Kukuihale.
The meeting was organized by call
ing Chas. Motley to the chair, and J..
w. Leonhart to act as secretary.
By using the telephone it was ascer-
tanned that at meetings held at Hilo
aud Kohala, Messrs. f. S. Lyman,
Chas. Motley, Northrop and J. Kau-
hane had been selected as candidates
for the Senate. On motion to that
effect said nominations were unani-
mously endorsed as the choice of those
present.
Then came the question of Repre-
sentatives. 1t was learned R. Ry-
croft, of Puma, was the only one selec-
ted at Hilo. J. r. Renton nominated
Albert Horner, who said he was
obliged to decline. A. Lydgate sug-
gested Charles Williams as suitable
Representative of Hamakua, as he is
a bright, smart and intelligent man.
Although the nomination was not
seconded, and it was questioned as to
whether he would accept if rendered
the nomination, the telephone was
again invoked, with the result that Mr..
Williams would decline the nomina-
ton, for the reason that if elected he
would be debarred for three years
from holding any Government posi-
ton. Here was a back-set, but
Mr.. Lydgate again came to the
rescue and suggested the name of
Mr.. w. Green as a suitable represent
tative of Hamakua sentiment. 1t

the oath. (He had been dismissed
from the police force for that reason).
Mr.. Lydgate said he had been given
to understand that Mr.. Green is now
willing to take tie oath. However,
as the proposition received no further
support it dropped out. James R. Rem
ton declined a nomination. Robert
Horner also declined. 1t was then
asked if Mr.. John NJ. Horner would
accept the nomination. AS no one
present could answer the question,
and as Mr.. Homer was beyond reach
of the useful telephone, being at that
time in Kona, the secretary was in
structed to communicate with him as
soon as possible and get his reply to
the question, and thus the matter
stands.
There is considerable curiosity ex-
pressed as to who will be the appoin-
tees to the official vacancies yet exist
ing in this district, and anxiety on
the part of some would-be incum-
bents. A late rumor is that Homo
lulu man is coming 10 be Deputy
Sheriff, but as rumors are thick as the
famed Leaves of Vallambrosa," not
much attention is paid them until
they assume a more tangible shape.

An Unappreciative Valet.

1t is doubtless difficult for conscien-
.ious valet to determine where per-
luisites end and theft begins, but the
valet of Professor Lenbach, the famous
Austrian portrait painter, seems to have
been more conscientious than most val
cts He loved order, and no place is so
difficult to keep in order as an artist
studio. So he invariably cleared away
al the sketches which he found messing
about the place and sold them cheap TO
picture dealers or bartered them for to-
bacco. Professor Lenbach, having the
untidy instincts of the painter, no SOON
er discovered this than he raised objec-
tons. The valet explained that he re
garded his masters sketches as worth
less. The explanation does not appear
to have Modified the professor, for he is
prosecuting his valet-Pall Mall Bud

prising Agents Successful Canvass.
During the past few weeks Washing
ton has been canvassed by the agent of
one of the most peculiar pieces of fu-
neral paraphernalia ever invented. 1t Is
a burglar and fireproof coffin, with SC
many strange adiuncts that person
seeing it for the first time would throw
up his hands in holy horror at the au
aacity of the inventor and the adnira
be nerve Of a manufacturer that viii
place such an article on the market
Despite the many CHASTITY features in
connection with these collins and the al
most blasphemous talk Of the enterpris
ing agent, this city has proved to be q
lucrative field for him to work, and now
a number of citizens are equipped with
the strangest burial appliance of the dec
ada The description of the coffin as
given by the agent is as follows:
Primarily the coffin is fire and bur
glar proof. The case is made out of boil
er iron hardened with old bone, spruce
bark and leather, which forms an en-
amel that cannot be penetrated by chisel
or drill 1t is put together with angle
iron and flush rivets. The locks are all
on the inside, so constructed with hooks
and staples, with a spring behind them,
that when a pin is drawn out from the
outside the bolts spring down and lock
automatically, and the coffin is then
locked so that it cannot be opened FROM
the outside. The only person who can
unlock and open the strange coffin is the
person inside. -
There are two grades of cofhns-those
for vaults and those to be inferred il
graves. The coffin to be placed in 4
vault is equipped with torpedoes that
can be exploded from the inside The
theory of this is that in case a person is
buried alive he can throw back the
bolts, explode the tOrpedoes and warn
the sexton and thus escape. The coffin

QUO all he has to do is to throw back
the spring, and this arm is thereby re
leased and cuts its way to the top, ex
p!oding a torpedo and warning the keep
er Of the graveyard.
These coffins are sold at SO much per
pound, and the first purchaser does not
have to pay anything down. He simply
gives a written guarantee to the manu-
facturer that he will pay for the coffin
from his estate within 10 days after
death, or, failing to do this, the manu-
facturer can claim his body to do what
be may wish with it.-Washington

he was shown to the room which haG
been reserved for him, and which, in
view of the crude condition of the
cruiser consequent upon her trial trip,
be found plainly furnished. He also dis
covered that the president of the trial
board and Chairman Cummings of the
house committee ON naval affairs had
staterooms that were somewhat more
rcomy and better situated, but no better
furnished.
Dr. Zeballos at once declared that in
his capacity as minister to the United
States from the Argentine Republic be
could not accept any accommodations on
the ship which were not equal to those
assigned to any other person, and he
made a request for better room. 1t
was impossible for Captain Sargent to
find such accommodation or to turn Mr..
Cummings or any other official out of the
quarters TO which he had been assigned.
DR.. Zeballos declared that, under these
circumstances, he could not accompany
the ship on the trip and would leave
forthwith.
The officials of the Cramp company
expressed their regret very politely, and
DR.. Zeballos, with servant trailing be-
lind him, walked down the gangplank
and thus preserved the dignity of the
