JUST A FEW WORDS on q subject
which we know win interest every one:
For years we have done the fine watch
repairing in Honolulu.
Difficult work of every description
which had formerly been sent to the
Coast, was first properly handled in our
Remaining Department. Such work as
CHANGING KEY TO sTKN wINDKRs; repair
ing complicated watches OF every des-
eruption; demagnetizing; making by
hand any lost part Of a complicated
watch; in fact any difficult work pertain
ing to the repairing of fine watches Is
our especial forte.
The number OF watches which ind
their way into our Repairing Department
after having been through the hands OF
numerous EXPERTS (?) is beyond belief
Whilst we are at all times ready
and willing to do every concelv-
able kind and condition OF JOB
would it not pay you better 70
bring your watch to us III the FIRST PLACE
and be assured of an honest amount OF
work at a reasonable price, rather than
take it from one to another, causing you
delay and annoyance, to say nothing OF
the greater expense? WE CHARGE LESS
FOR PERFECT WORK than you have been
used to paying for inferior work right
along.
AS matter of fact, the ExPERT( p who
cleans your watch with a pair of bellows
and crow-bar for so cents makes more
money than the honest workman who
does an honest job and charges an
honest price.
Because your watch is returned to you
running fairly well, it is no criterion that
it has been properly repaired. The great
ANNOYANCE attendant upon the repair
| ing of a watch, is that SO out OF % cannot
| tell if the work is we'll done-but are
| satisfied if the watch is keeping some
where near the correct time.
Who can see the jewel protruding hall
| way out of the plate, or worse, sunk down
through the plate, fastened In with
little glue, or hammered In with sledge'
How often the EXPERT grinds of the
broken staff, sinks the jewel q little
lower, tells you he has put In new
etaff and charges you a little less than
the price and you go on your way reloic'
ing. But some day you will discover the
fraud, such work cannot last long. 1t If
dear at any price. which you soon dis
cover to your sorrow.
Moral: Make no mistake; take i
where you know it will be we'll treated

Expensfye Stamps.

The phiIatelic world has been
fiuttered by a recent important
event, for it is announced that the
vice-president of the London Phila-
telic Society has sold all his
stamps. The affair certainly be-
comes interesting when we learn
the price commanded by the few
thousand little bits of paper.
A firm which deals in these light
and airy triaes secured the vice
presidents entire collection, and
gave up less than $4,000 for it.
This, we understand, is the
largest price ever paid for collec-
ton of stamps, though it is said
that the treasure in this sort re-
Gently bequeathed by member of
Parliament to the British Museum
would have fetched higher figure
if put to public auction.
A London establishment is jus
now advertising a single stamp
valued at SO, 500, but whether any
intending purchaser will be found
willing to receive it in exchange
for that sum remains to be seen
The Duke of York, already known
as a keen connoisseur, is said to be
anxious to purchase this great
stamp.
Experts declare that there is no
better investment for money nova
days than stamps. If that be 30
they will become an object of fasci'
nation to many who at present
take little delight in them.-Black

THE LATEST NEWS FROM EAU.
The Rebellion Creates Great Excite
ment On the Windward Side.
They Receive News Of the EI-QuseR's
Arrest-PrOmpt Delivery Of Malls
Other Items.

KAU (Hawaii), Jan. 20.-Great
excitement prevailed here for .
few days when the news Of the
non-arrival of the steamer Kinau
at Mahukona was announced.
Different opinions were offered.
Some thought that the steamer
broke down; others that there was
trouble in Honolulu, which latter
proved to be true when telephone
message from Hilo few days later
was received.
President Dole and his officials
deserve great praise for the manner
in which they handled the affair.
Foreigners and Hawaiians all
condemn Wilcox aud his party he
will find no sympathizers here.
The general opinion is that he and
the leaders should be promptly
dealt with. Residents here have
explicit faith In the Republic, and
know they will do what is right.
A telephone from Hilo yesterday
announced the arrest of Mrs. Dom
inis, and that dynamite and MUM
lions of war were found upon her
premises, and if such is the case
we hope she will be sent out of the
country, as we consider she is dan
gerous to be at large.

taking the oath to support the Re.
public. A royalist will soon be q

surrection has killed royalty. Those
who did favor restoration, condemn
this last movement, and what must
they think of it when they find the
ex-aueen at the head of it?

LOOKING BACKWARD

On our success for the past
year that we have been in

pleased with our sales, and we
feel confident that all our
transactions with our custom
ers have been of such a nature
that they are as fully pleased
as we are.

A STEAMSHIP POOL.
Steerage Rates Raised-Passage Of
All Classes will Go Up
Very Soon.

New York, Nov. 28.-A local paper
says that before December 4, when an
agreement which the Continental steam
ship lines have just ratified, goes into eff
feet, an increase is steerage rates will
be announced. This is probably one Of
the most important steps ever taken by
the steamship companies toward the or
ganization of cast iron pool. 1t is the
forerunner of scheme, according to
well informed steamship men, to adj
vance first and second-class rates of
transatlantic travel as well. 1t is pool
ing of issues similar to the recently
formed railroad combination in which
competition is put out of the question
and the profits of the companies inter
ested are increased. Thus far only the
American. Anchor, Cunard Allan, State
and White Star lines are interested in
the pool 1t is understood, however,
that overtures will be made to the re-
manning transatlantic lines, and already
the question of an universal formation
has been placed before these lines.

REINFORCEMENTS SENT.
Spain Decides to Bring the Cuban
War to an Enid O,OOO Men
Have Embarked.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 27.-Heavy
Spanish reinforcements aggregating
GO00 men are about to land in Cuba, ac-
cording to official advices received here.
Besides these, 10000 men have en-
barked already from various points in
Spain. 1t is expected that most of the
reinforcements will arrive in Cuba before
the end Of the month. Combined with
the force already there Gen. Campos will
have in his command formidable army.
The reports reaching here show that
all the Spanish generals are acting on
the offensive with the view of drawing
the insurgents into general engagements.
The latter thus far have maintained their
guerilla or bush tactics.
Word received here from an official
who has seen a letter of Gen. Roloff, the
insurgent leader, says the letter states
that the insurgents are sorely in need of
arms and ammunition, and are SO pressed
on all sides by the large Spanish force
that the contest cannot be maintained
longer without large supplies Of arms.

ENTAILED HEAVY LOSS.
Towering c il oerrlcks Prove Shin
ing Marks for the Sweep
ing or the Winds.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 27.-Returns from
the storm of Tuesday night show that
it did vast amount of damage in other
parts of the country as we'll us in Chi
cago and the vicinity. Houses were
blown down or unroofed by the gale at
Cleveland, O., in Covington, KY, and
at many other points in Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Michigan. The area
of the storm was equally widespread
and it made itself felt over nearly half
of the country.
In Findlay and Lima, O., the towering
oil derricks proved shining marks for
the malice of the winds. A thousand
derricks were blown down in the Find
lay district, causing a loss of $4,000,
while the farmhouses, outbuildings and
fences in the surrounding country were
damaged to the amount of $4,000. At
Lima 800 derricks were demolished,
causing a loss of sol 900, while probably
other sections of the Chic oil fields. In
Hartford City, Ind, 100 derricks were
laid low, the total loss to the oil COM
pany reaching 100000.
At Elwood. Ind. the force of the
storm was especially severe. several
buildings and the plate-glass works be-
ing demolished and two men injured
have to be closed for three or four
weeks. Other plants, including the Nc
Clay Lamp Chimney factory and the
lamp chimney plant of McBeth & Co.,
were badly damaged. Plate glass shiv-
cred and cracked at Alexandria, Ind,
where the factory of the American Plate
Glass company was wrecked. The roof
of the Union Steel works was blown off
The total loss in Alexandria was $780,
600.
The Standard Oil company loses $780,
600 by the destruction Of 1000 derricks
and other property at Bowling Green,
Wayne, Ind, lost their roofs and a baby
carriage fortunately unoccupied, was
carried three blocks by the wind.

INSURANCE COMBINE.
wenty-four Big Companies Join
Hands to Maintain the
Cut Rates.

New York. Nov. 27-Managers of
twenty -four Lloyds insurance companies
that together underwrite $3.50, 600 of
risks and have assets of many millions
have just held meeting preliminary to
a close union. The companies represent
ed were:
Knickerbocker Lloyds, New York Central
Lloyds, Brewers and Maltsters Syracuse
Mutual Fire Insurance Underwriters, Com
mercial Lloyds, New Jersey State Fire as
ISOLATION, Guardian, Traders Fire Iloyds,
Manhattan Fire Lloyds, Protection Fire
Lloyds, New York & Boston, Columbia Fire
Lloyds, Peoples Fire Lloyds, Citizens Fire
Lloyds la Fayette Fire Lloyds, the Lloyds
of New York city, Western Union Trades
mems. South and North American; New
York s. Chicago. Bankers and Merchants !.
Manufacturers Lloyds and New York and
Brooklyn Fire Underwriters.
The new organization is not trust in
the sense that the Identities of the mem
bers shall be merged. They now remain
distinct and individual, but the plan of
the promoters looks to an ultimate asso-
citation such as the London Lloyds, close
and masterful, monopolizing the bust
ness of England on the Lloyd lines. If
the design be worked out successfully,
it means uniform Lloyd rates by all the
members of the league and the eNtlnc-
ton of the outside Lloyds.
The combination will make concrete
the scattering opposition to the stock
companies in the tariff association of the
New York board of underwriters. The
LlOydS companies are members OF the
board Of fire underwriters, but not or the
tariff association, the rate-maklng body.
The LlloydS do business at rates less by
Is to 20 DER cent. than those charged by
the stock companies.

TERMS or SUBSCRIPTIONS.
M'BRIDE'S OPEN LETTER.
Tells Coal Operators that the Peace
of the Country Depends on
This Meeting.

Columbus, O., Nov. 2S.-Secretary Pat
rick Mcbride has addressed an open let
ter to the coal operators of Ohio, stat
ing that on the result of the delibera-
tions of the committee of operators
which meets here tomorrow depends the
peace and tranquility not only of Ohio
but perhaps of the entire country The
letter reviews the different disputes be-
tween the contending interests over Il
period of eight years and points out that
during that time the differential has al
ways been adhered to. The circum-
stances of the long strike of 1895 and
the final surrender by the miners were
also reviewed, but the fact that the diff
ferential was sustained is persistently
pointed out.
1t appears that the decentralization in
tinued after the general suspension was
over and when, in February, the min
ers found that fact out, a strike of
twelve weeks followed, but which ended
in the defeat of the miners 1t is we'll
known that during this strike the Pitts
burg operators demanded that the differ
entail be wiped out.
Since 1887, up to last October, the
operators of the Pittsburg district, with
three exceptions, had stores or deducted
from the miners earnings for stores.
The condition in Ohio today is the same
as III 1887, he says, so that the differen-
tial was established with the stores in
the Pittsburg district in existence and
SO long as there is a price in Pittsburg
that deducts for stores Just so long
should there be the differential of 9
cents based on that price.

Constantinople, Nov. 26.-The powers.
instead of ordering their fleets away
from Turkish waters as the Sultan ear

upon keeping them in this vicinity for
an indefinite period. A portion of the
British Mediterranean fleet, 1t is report

Great Britain which are expected to

emergency. France has already at Smyr-

smaller ships. Italy's flag floats from
two battleships, two cruisers and four
smaller craft in the waters Of Smyrna.
Russia has two cruisers on the way to
Smyrna, in addition to a powerful fleet
cruising in the western portion of the.

represented at Smyrna by two cruisers.

small gunboats.

stration: it is simply the concentration of

STATE PAPERS MUTILATED
on File at Washington were
Cut Off.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 27.-The
wholesale investigation throughout the
executive departments as to the stamp
thefts has resulted in an ending even
worse than were first discovered in the
treasury departments. Another element
has crept into the situation, as it is
learned that the photograph fends, too,
have been at work among the files. This
vandalism, so far as is yet known, seems
to have been practiced principally in the
interior department. In the investiga-
ton by the secret service men it has
been discovered that the signatures of
many great men, long since dead. espe
cially Presidents of the United States,
were affixed to papers in the land Office.
Some of these were accordingly exam
ined, with the result that series Of au-
tographs have been found to be missing
from them. Abraham Lincoln's auto
graph has especially been sought after.
These papers are slowed away in the
files and it is hardly once a year that
any of them are needed, so that discovery
of the mutilation, in the ordinary course
of Office routine, were improbable The
papers have been in many instances rem
dered practically valueless by this mu
tilation, which is a very serious matter

DEPEW TALKS OF SHERMAN.
he Thinks the Senator Has Dug Up
a Lively Corpse.

a Lively corpse.
New York, Nov 27.-Chauncey NJ. De-
pew has been interviewed on the sub
ject of Sherman's book. He says: Sen
ator Sherman's book, and especially that
part of it relating to the Republican ma
tional convention of 1888, naturally
evokes a great deal of criticism. The
time-nearly eight years ago-and the
confusion which always attends excit-
ing events in the convention will ac-
count for the discrepancies in the MARIA
tives But obituaries are for filing, not
for reading, as a rule. In this instance,
however. Senator Sherman has succeed
ed in drawing out an exceedingly lively
corpse. 1t is certainly Il very serious
charge that one candidate purchased
delegates, thereby injuring and taking
away from the favorite of another state
many votes.
'sAfter the adjournment of conven-
ton the air is always full of rumors
of this kind and they are generally re-
peated with such vigor and circum-
stances as to make the thing seem ac-
cordingly plausible. But they rarely, if
ever, are true. There are always of
course enough overt promises made by
the representatives of candidates to sub
stantiate the charge of bargain. But
the candidate when in Office repudiates
these pledges on two grounds-frst, that
he was not, and would not have
been a party to bargain to get the
position; and secondly, that no such con-
tract was ever made known to him.

GROVER DOESN'T WANT IT.
Mr.. Benedict, Cleveland's Trusted Friend,
Talks of the Third Term.


New York, Nov. pa local paper
says: cit was announced last evening
by e. c. Benedict, the trusted and in
innate friend of President Cleveland,
that the latter will not under any circum-
stances accept a third nomination for the
Presidency. Mr. Benedict has so long
enjoyed the confidence of Mr.. Cleveland
and is so close in his relations with him
that this statement has a semi-official
complexion. Mr.. Benedict said:
9. L am certain Mr.. Cleveland will de-
cline another nomination if it were Of
fered him. / am positive that he does
not want to serve third term. / am
equally positive that he could not be
persuaded, under any circumstances, to
accept the nomination if it should be
rendered to him. | have heard him say
that he intended to make a tour of the
world at the expiration of his second
term; that he wanted to see more of
the world than he had seen, and that he
had his travelling companion already
picked out-at least that he had asked
a personal friend of his to accompany
him on the tour
'In making this statement for publ
cation Mr. Benedict has so far departed
from his previous reticence with re-
gard to Mr.. Cleveland's affairs that it
has special significance"
