| numerous rObberleS IN Homo
lulu bad come to grief. If the
finding of the stolen goods in
the house of the man charged
with the crime is an indica-
ton of guilt the police have
the right man in the right
place. 1t is astonishing how,
after long career of crime, a
man will be brought up with a
round turn through his efforts
to bag some small game. The
plumber found seems to have
been sufficient on which to
realize enough money to take
the fellow out of the country
in good style but he evidently
felt that the picking was safer
here than elsewhere. If he
has the luck that another
prisoner had, in agreeing to
leave the country rather than
60 to prison he will probably
be very we'll satisfied. While
the Islands are very we'll rid
of such characters, deporting
is not punishment to fit the
crime. Nor does the sending
of a man to prison deprive the
city of his society except for a
time; a better plan would be
to pardon and deport him be-
fore his sentence expires;
Justice would be fairly we'll
satisfied because the city
would not only have an addi-
ton to it's working force for
awhile but would ultimately |
be free Of at least one bad |
character.
We desire to call the atten-
ton OF painters to our i'm
proved burners for removing !
old paint. You've probably |
used one of the old sort that |
blistered the fingers every
time you used it and decided to
do the work in future with a
jack knife. The kind we are
selling have the very latest
improvements which com
mend it to men whose hands
are not made of metal.
The lot of hanging lamps
delayed by the strike in the
United States reached us the
other day in good order and
are ready to be delivered to
you any time. They are in
late designs and have the best
burners in the world. We
merely mention the arrival of
the goods, it is not necessary
to 90 into details as to their
makeup, the PEOPLE of Homo
lulu recognize this store as
the headquarters Of lamp
goods and here it is they come
when they want to buy.
Other people keep lamps-we
sell them.
Frequent inquiries for rakes
other than conventional in
style prompted us to place an
order with our San Francisco
agents for something that will
cover more ground and take
up the smallest sprigs and
leaves without tearing the
grass. We have a half dozen
different patterns any one Of
which will give satisfaction.
There's not enough water
now to flow through the pipes
much less turn a sprinkler.
Realizing that it is a good
time to advertise an article
when the demand for it is not
great, we call attention to an
of sprinklers re-
ceived last week. In addition
to the regular three legged
Kind there are some you stick
IN the ground and the water
passing through an opening
5urns Il whirligig that throws
I spray over fifteen feet of
grass. These are good sprink- :
ers and effective enough for
my one.
When the sun is hottest our
thoughts dwell upon ice
cream as u means OF cooling
off. The Gem freezer is
me of the best because it re-
juireS so little time to do the
work: twenty minutes from
he time the cream goes in
he can it is frozen hard
enough to serve. The "WhIte
