Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Dec. IL, 1895.


He had been in the Hawaiian
Islands nearly year. He ar
rived here in the latter part of
January, 1896, and his fortunes
had been between the cups" and
downs" This is the first
Christmas that he is to expert
ence far from home, far from
his friends and his relations.
The old picture of the snow-clad
hills, the merry bells of the
sleigh, and the blaze of the
Christmas trees is inscribed on
his mind. He has made friends
here in the ever sunny cline of
Hawaii. His friends want him
to forget the longing for the
snowy country and the Christmas
as he saw it, and they will offer
him their presents and Christ
mas gifts and try to make him
believe that he once more is
patronized by the King of the
North, Santa Claus.
To help in that noble purpose
we have imported the very
thing suitable for Christmas
presents. This year we have
made speciality of Aluminium
Ware, and we propose to present
to the public something never
seen here before. Aluminium
Toilet Sets are the rage and
fashion to-day in every part of
the civilized world. Z They are
made of pure Aluminium and
will not tarnish. The Alumi-
mum Ware looks like silver
and give as much pleasure to
the owner as do goods made of
sterling silver. We know of no
more appropriate Christmas
present than set of Combs and
Brushes in Aluminium. Or a
Card Receiver, a Mirror, Cigar
Stand, Ash Receiver, etc., etc.
The price of these excellent
goods brings them within the
reach of everybody and to give
a truly useful Christmas present
has become easy to everyone.
While we have imported a
large invoice of Aluminium
Ware we have not neglected our
Silver Goods; Pitchers and Plates
COCKTAIL OnakerS ana FORKS and
Knives in the latest fashions
are a special feature of our
Christmas exhibition. We have
all kinds of Plated Silverware of
the highest degree and finish,
ond ma invita- tho nI,blio to coll
at our store and remember the
poor lonely fellows who, on
Christmas eve, will feel home
sick and lonely and deeply
grateful for the smallest token
signifying that they are not
forgotten, although far away
from home.

Yours obedietly,
CHARLES F. HART.

For once we have to applaud Mr..
Doles government for the interest
they have displayed in the move
ments OF the missionary packet r.
W. Logan. This vessel is run in the
interest OF class of people who are
being closely watched in all parts
of the world, and much is being said
of them that is not, to say the least,
complimentary.
The only advice we can give Mr..
Dole and his colleagues is to search
the scriptures with which the Logan
is said to be loaded-such employ
ment will have, at least, flavor of
novelty, il we are to judge our rulers
by their works.
En- passant we may say that in
Maine tin limitations OF bibles were
made and filled with ardent spirits
for the use of old fashioned deacons
who had not been able to wean
themselves from good New England
rum. No charge.

He "who spake no slander, no, nor

any such spirit OF retaliation. On
the contrary: "Jesus went into the

usual to the fore, sending six fresh
and crisp island studies. No.
20, Honolulu Lighthouse, has the
place of honor in the water color
section. 1t is delicate to a degree,
and has the characteristics of all
her work-crispness, with cleanness
of execution. There is a harmony
in her tints, especially when paint
ing in high key which gives value
of distance and atmosphere to her
work. OF scarcely less interest are
Nos. 10, "a and 81, by the same
artist. No. "a, Rice Fields, has a
charming atmosphere and distance.
Mrs. A. B. Tucker also sends six
local studies, of which No. II,
Guavas, is great hit, showing
good value in light and shade, as
also in drawing. 1t is a fresh and
spirited study, and is sure to at
tract attention. No. 3, Kukui
Lane, will be readily recognized by
Honoluluites, and is a nice piece of
composition. Mrs. Ogilvie, who is
a new conner, exhibits for the first
time in the league rooms. Her
work is a valuable addition to the
exhibition, and interesting studies
of island scenes may be looked for
in the future. Most of her work in
this exhibition is California scenes
and subjects, which show a versa
tile range, and in many instances
force and breadth. Her No. %,
The Brothers, though little more
than sketch, is simple and con-
tanned in it's treatment, comprising
a considerable area of forest, of
which two spruce trees give the
sketch its name. 1t is suggestive
of much and yet without effort.
Nos. 4, 81, 80 and "a by the same
artist, are extremely interesting, the
fruit subjects being handled with
simplicity and delicacy. Miss NJ.
Beckwith sends several interesting
flower pieces, of which perhaps No.
6 Baby Blue Eyes is the best. No.
26 Sweet Peas has also much
merit. Mrs. E. A. Jones sends
several sketches from scenes on
the other side of the Pail. Her
work shows originality and great
promise. Judging this lady's work
from the progress she is making
and the decided character she has
introduced into all these sketches,
great things may be expected from
her in forthcoming exhibitions.
The absence of any paintings by
Mrs. G. B. Wells in this exhibition
is much to be regretted, as her
work is always looked forward to
by it's many admirers in this city.
1t is to be hoped, however, that the
fall exhibition will see her repre-
sented.

at that time undoubtedly the
youngest man in charge of any
business in Honolulu. He was
quite successful as a salesman, and
built up not only the city business,
but quite a trade with the other
islands.
After six years of faithful SER
vice, Mr.. Weldon left to reside
in Cleveland, Ohio, taking with
him as his wife one Of Puma
hou's popular teachers, for
merly Miss Ida Sloan, whose
parents were living in Cleveland.
For several years he acted az
cashier and special agent for the
State Of Ohio for an extensive life
insurance company, afterward TAX
ing charge Of large land and cattle
interests In Kansas and Missouri,
at the same time editing the Ma
tional Galloway Herd Book, travel
ing extensively in the interest of
the same.
Four years ago Mr.. Weldon re-
turned to Honolulu, upon solicita-
ton of Mr.. Dillingham;, and early
in 1893 he entered the tax office as
deputy assessor and collector for
Oahu, where his work speaks for
him as an efficient and able public
servant and officer.
Mr.. Weeden was among one of the
first to espouse the Governments
cause in the revolution of 1893 and
was one of the first white men to
stand guard at the Palace entrance
on January IS, 1893. He is still
corporal in Company B, and served
with his company in the late
trouble. He frequently furnishes
excellent articles for the press in
Missouri and Ohio.
Mr.. Weldon has travelled exten-
sively through the States and ter
ritories, in England and Europe
is also well posted in island trade
and speaks Hawaiian fuently.
While the Government loses an eff
cient officer, his friends wish him
the greatest success in his new re-
sponsibilities and bespeak for him
a generous patronage.

Dog Turned BIue.

Gore, "the tramp dog" and the
pet of the Hawaiian hotel, came
out in flaming color5 yesterday and
still continues to fame-in blue.
Thereby hangs tale which has not
been divulged, and every body about
the hotel is guessing. Instead of
striking in, the outline Of the dogs
ribs has stuck out and is displayed
in blue on the animals skin. The
Cinnamon say they didn't do it,
the bell boys disclaim responsible
ity, and neither the legal reasoning
Of Judge Bickerton or the medical
advice of DR.. Winslow can solve
the mystery. The dog knows, but
he won't tell. Meanwhile the guests
are in a fever Of excitement over
this phenomena in dog life.

MAURERTOWN, VA.

DEAR EDITOR:-I ask a snail space in
your valuable paper in behalf of thous-
snds Of starving persons in two Of our
fsirest states IN prosperous days, but
new, blighted by drought and disaster.
These are not tramps unworthy of our
help, bat honest, hard working farmers,
struggling TO make homes for their fam
lilies. They have not come to want by
sxtravagance or dissipation. but by the
Providence Of God-ths frequent loss of
crops by repeated droughts. Many of
these are excellent Christian people and
are in every way worthy of the sympathy
and help of their more prosperous breth-
ren. Fuel Is in great want, for thoss
states are treelsss People used corn and
corn cobs, and even corr fodder which
was often used for fuel IS exhausted,
Hundreds t0day are living in great CIT
terms many feet deep to keep from freez
ing Hsthers are thankful for rags to
bind their chidreDs naked feet and
ankles. Stale bread crusts are consider
ed luxury in many localities. Second
hand clothing of alpdescriptiSns are glad
" received. Grain, meal, bacon, any
thing is accepted. There IS loud cry
fer bSdOlathing Our Sunday school and
good people of this community are pre-
pairing to ship supplies the last of next
week. The emerge tic ladies Of our Sun
day school are busy soliciting and max
ing childrens and wonen's clsthing. In
soliciting we fad that many Of our good
people are ignorant Of the great destitu-
tion that prevails. They cannot under
stand why bed csthing arc needed, they
say 1--WE could have a famine for ten
years and still have our bedding" Now,
Just stop a msment and think. Aost of
these people are young, beginners in
hsw country ahd never were supplied as
we are with household goods. No sym
pathiziuG neigh Osrs to appeal to for aid.
In some counties the merchants will not
accept orders from the county.
Shall this loud cry frem these darkened
homes of the West pass unheeded Or
will net tho same Christian generosity
that has prompted our people throughout
the Union to noble deeds Of rescue and
relief, "In His name" in the past, urge
them to reach out the saving hand to
their brothers and sisters in Nebraska
and Kansa, nowi Sympathy with the
suffering Of destitute thousands has touch
ed tho hearts OF many throughout the
land. 1t is not sympathy that expends
itself in words, but it takes the practical
form of speedy aud substantial aid. If
these gifts that carry succor and comfort
to the ssld and cheerless homes on the
sterile plains of Nebraska and Kansas are
the cause of tears being dried and suf-
fering lemensd and lives saved, 4 great
good to humanity will have been sc-
CON plshsd and the hearts of thousands
will bo filed with an overwhelming
gratitude to the benevolent givers, and
their souls led to a frmer trust In a
Divine Father, whs careth for his chill
drsn.
Our merchants, in Maursrtown, will
new receive any contribution aud We will
sec that they will go to the most needy.
