A False Rumor.

The rumor monger was on the
rampage this morning and caused
quite an excitement in Chinese
circles. The yarn circulated was to
the effect that the rebels in China
had been defeated by the Imperial
troops, and that among others Lau
Chong had been slain and b. O.
Crick, of local conspiracy notoriety,
had narrowly escaped similar fate.
Enquiries proved that, the rumor
was absolutely unfounded. The
business associates OF Lau Chong
had letters from him and although
we frequently hear about men with
out heads writing letters we know
of no instances where they can ship
a number of Chinese coolies and
report their own demise. The City
of Peking brought no news in re-
gard to the rebellion in China.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

A vast amount is spent OF the tax
payers money to support the useless
army of the Republic. Would it not
be fair to reduce that amount little
and convert some of the money for
the use of the fire laddies, who
although far more useful, seem to be
of very small consideration as far as
our rulers are concerned. The
soldier is we'll paid, well-fed, clothed
and well-housed at the expense of
the government, and he has little
work and plenty OF liberty. The
fremen gets $40 a month, a most
miserable hovel to sleep in, and
must pay for his own clothes and

A CIRCUS.
But Really the Best Here in Thirty
Years.

its promises. Yet we have here
Wirth's Australian Circus which

misses, but it does 80 ON time. TIE
audience had never wait to endure.
And in every direction it is the best
show which has struck Honolulu for
over thirty years. Space forbds in
dividual mention in every instance,
but we say once for all that each
artist from the youngest to the
Oldest is entitled to rank as star in
his or her particular line. What
struck our attention most after the
perfect training of the animals, es-
pecially the trained pony Nelly, who
seemed to only lack the ability to
answer in Ell glish, were the graceful
aud fearless acts of Miss Muriel
Wirth, aged about 8, on the slack
wire; the balancing on and breaking
of the ladder by the little Jap Takia
supported by W. Burns; the work
on the flying trapeze by Messrs.
Burns and Alberto; and the wonder
ful feats of Nellie Lynhurst in riding
bareback round the arena at full
speed, extended at full length on the
horse, aud yet picking up objects
laid on the sawdust. The singing
of the "Little Alabama Coon" by the
youngsters, with their dance, took
the audience by storm, as indeed did
every feat performed. The house
was crowded. The performers may
congratulate themselves on having
captured Honoluln's heart. And
they well deserve it-from the dar-
ling children up to the oldest per-
former, either lady or gentleman.
Mr.. Wirth, wife and family have
scored a success.

grub His liberty amounts to "a
hours in each mouth and be must
be on the alert constantly to respond
to the Ere alarm. The citizens ought
to take the matter in hand. The fire
department is an absolute necessity.
The army with its newly imported
expensive cannons is not. Give the
FIRE laddies an innings and build
them decent sleeping quarters and
pay them adequate wages, and let
the army take backseat for once
and go without more expensive
guns.
The Board of Education seems to
have been very much annoyed, be-
cause, we in a former issue printed
it's latest regulations in regard to
the docking OF the salaries OF
teachers during illness" The Board,
we are informed, has raised heaven
and earth to fad out how copy of
the circular letter fell into our
hands. This anxiety on the part OF
the Board seems to indicate that its
members feel ashamed for having
sanctioned such regulations, as
well they may. The teachers Of
youth are the most useful class of
servants in the employ of the
government. In their hands lie to
certain extent the future of the
nation. To Great these underpaid
teachers as no decent man would
his asiatic cook and actually punish
them with virtual starvation for
being sick is most glaring outrage,
and the Infamous regulation should
be repealed without delay. When u
judge of tn Supreme Court is
prevented from doing his duty for
month after month is his salary
docked for the benefit of his sub
stitutes on the Bench? When the
G. j. takes a four months pleasure
trip to Europe does he donate his
salary to the government? When
the late judge Allen used to absent
himself for nine months at a time
didn't he draw every cent of his
salary and make money too-on ex-
change? When the president of the
Board Of Education, Professor
Alexander, visited Washington did
he pay two-thirds of his salary to
the me n doing his duty during his alb
sence9 Most decidedly not. That
kind OF treatment is reserved for the
drudging teacher probably to give
paying opening for some of the
new corps of substitute teachers
who recently have taken the oath
and like Micawber, are waiting for
something to turn up. The country
joins the teachers in condemnins
the Board of Education for the
disgraceful regulation.

look towards a peaceful and
pleasant Christmas and the
closing of the year. Stability
and prosperity are showing
again in Hawaii, and the pro-
per time has come to establish
new homes, and embellish and
renovate the old. To facilitate
this we have imported a COM
plete stock of household goods,
and invite the public to call in
and inspect them. We have
Lamps in all qualities and
everybody can find just what he
wants in that line. Our Parlor
Lamps and Piano Lamps are
beauties; and we keep the prices
within reach of all. We offer
also a fine assortment of Hang
ing Lamps and Chandeliers in
beautiful designs. Lamps, how
ever, are not the only necessary
article in a household. Our
Stoves have given absolute sat-
isfaction to our numerous pat
rons. We have Cooking Ranges
in several sizes and of the most
approved construction, in which
coal and wood can equally be
used as fuel. We can also re-
commend the "Dietz' Tubular
Stove for oil or gas. This ex-
cellent stove has been a very
handy and convenient furni-
ture. 1t can be used to do all
kinds of cooking-boiling, bak-
ing, frying, roasting-and it ex-
GELS all stoves in broiling. 1t
can be used in a room with
open doors and windows, or on
a porch or lanai where there is
free circulation of air. 1t is
portable and can be readily re-
moved from one room to an
other. 1t is absolutely free from
any taste or smell of oil as long
as kept clean, and it takes no
more work to clean it than a
common lamp. While the stoves
will do the heating business,
our Ice Chests will do the cool
ing business. We have large
sized Ice Chests suitable for
large household, and we have
them of a size suitable for a
small family. They are of the
latest pattern, and besides being
useful, are ornamental and
make a handsome appearance in
a dining-room. To keep water
cool, we recommend Water
Cooler, which we have in differ
ent varieties. These Water
Coolers are eminently suitable
for schools, churches and other
places where numerous people
gather. The most useful Christ
mas present which we can re-
commend is Sewing Machine

"new" woman, you know-and
Bicycles for the rest of the

NOVEMBER FINANCES.

The financial statement for the
month OF November has been pub
lished and is as incomprehensible as
its predecessors. In a memoranda
at the bottom Of the statement, the
Minister Of Finance tells us that,
"increase OF $65 S2954 in revenue
for the month as compared with
last year, is accounted for in part
by the payment of the Board Of
Education of $4,000 in bonds for
the purchase of the Bishop premises
on Emma Street"
1t seems according to this Eek
planation" that if A. pays to b. S32,.
600 he has an increase in his
revenue. 1t may be that we are
obtuse and thick headed but with
our best will we cannot see how
His Excellency arrives at his de-
duction.
There is an increase in the re-
venues during the past month.
This seems to be due to an item of
about f84,010 called government
realizations, and to an increase in
"fnes, penalties and costs" of about
$4,000. This $4,000, which was fine
paid few weeks ago, helps to swell
the treasury balance from $327.36
last month to $9,406.9S on the 1st
of December.
The fluctuations in expenditures
are never accounted for and seem
puzzling to the average citizen. In
October the treasury spent about
$4,000 on the Bureau of Public
instruction. In November the
amount paid out to that Bureau, was
about $15,000 For the Military, in
October, we paid about $l3,500 and
last month the amount was only
$12,500.
The taxes collected during No
vember amount to less than half of
the amount collected in October,
but we are told triumphantly by the
Minister that, in December he ex-
poets to get in about $250,000 in
taxes. He does not tell us how
much Of that amount has been ad-
vanced. On the 1st of November,
we were told that Bishop q Co. had
advanced on open account $46,618.-
As. On the 1st of December, we
find no mention of that sum.
We start on December lst with
balance on hand of $9,406.9S, and
out of that amount the Minister in
forms the public that, he will pay
the August bills due by the Govern
ment amounting to nearly $4,000
But then the days of miracles are
never over-when you have got
bank behind you.

THEkE has been sort of lnterneclne
war going on in the 18th ward. The
trouble began at dance which was
given Saturday night at Ignatz Nady's
hall. Itseems there was some bad blood
between two factions on account of
law suit. The fight was participated
in By large number and contlnu-
ed at intervals through the night,
throughout Sunday and for a portion
of Sunday until the marshal ordered
the saloons closed. The saloons which
were ordered closed are those of Ig-
natz Naidy, John Bunk and julius
Doerm.
Zahraek. the Seventh ward police
man, tried to stop the fight but he had
his club wrested from him and 1t was
applied vigorously to his own person..
He had Ignatz Andraski arrested for
assaulting him. Judge Crate sen
fenced HIM to 90 days in the county
jail or TO pay a fine OF S25 and costs.
He paid the fine. Anton Werner was
arrested for advising the assault on
Zahorik, and Maths RUgowsky for de

officer when called upon.
Nine others were arrested and they
were sent before Justice Falge. All
plead guilty and were sentenced 10
pay fine and costs which they did
promptly. The parties arrested and
Sentenced by Justice Falge are Josef
Budnik. g and costs; Josef Jagodin-
ski. 3 and costs; Frank Novak dis
charged: Dominick Schmidt. g GO
and costs; Frank Sadofski, costs only;
Anton Sigmund, $500 and costs;
Charles Kaufman, 50 and costs;
Alex. Mrotek, costs only.
All the parties arrested are young
men with one exception. There seem
ed to be q regular mania for fighting
OnSunday in that ward. Not only were
the saloons the scene of contention
but every place where the young men
met 1t was regular clearing house
day in the way Of settling old grudges.

of this week.
Joseph ROemer who has farm on the
Two Rivers road. will this year use 80
tons Of bulk salt with which to destroy
Canada thistles.
Never were the prospects OF an album
dant harvest in this county more cheering
than at present. Everything Is dong
remarkably we'll and the weather con-
tinues to do just the right thing.
The happiest man ii Wisconsin to-day
from a business standpoint IS Albert

is assured and the business of this year
will put him on the high road to wealth.
Grasshoppers are infected with a fatal
disease in Colorado and are dying by the
thousand. 1t 10 not parasite but d
disease resembling cholera. This disease
is likely to spread and may reach the
grasshoppers of this county before they

The weather report for the week is
very favorable. There Is sufficient mOis-
tura all over the state for the needs OF
the crops. Hay is being cut in some Sec
tons and is even lighter than was ex-
pected. Corn is doing remarkably well.
