The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1895-01-23
january p, 1895.

Of the English syndicate for the
lease of Necker Island for cable
purposes must be a surprise to
people here who thought the
United States would oppose
British interests in Hawai-. Still
greater encouragement comes
from Congress in the speech of
Mr.. Hit who advises a subsidy.
1t is strange with the advance
ment Hawaii has made in the
last twenty years that sufficient
interest has not been aroused in
the United States to have built
a cable long ago. The CONNER
Cial interests demand it and !
events during the past few wears
show that it would have been
better for the two governments
if it had been in operation. To-
day we are about as isolated as
a civilized community can be
and it is really pleasing to see
the people of England awaken
ing to the Importance OF means
OF rapid communication between
the two countries.
We could fill this column with
testimonials as to the superiority
of the Pasteur filter which we
are now selling. All or nearly
all of the prominent physicians
from Maine to California say it
is the best they have ever exam
ined and druggists over the
same territory endorse it and
are using it in preference to dis
titled water. In San Francisco
the saloons use the Pasteur be-
cause it purifies the water and
prevents any bad effect in the
whisky. Where this filter is
used bacteria is unknown. DR..
Samuel Ayres OF Kansas City,
says: Upon analysing a sample
of Missouri river water drawn
from a hydrant he found large
quantities OF inorganic matter in
solution or suspension. While
a specimen that had passed
through a Pasteur filter was en-
tirely free from organic or inor-
ganic matter" Any one who
has crossed the continent knows
what the water of the Missouri
River is.
A Honolulu physician says he
mixed muddy water, oil and
milk together and had it pass
through a Pasteur. " The
water came out entirely pure
and free from unpleasant effects.
The doctor says it is the most
efficient filter he has ever seen.
We have made a closer inspec-
ton of our little sets of carvers'
tools and find really more in
them to recommend than we
thought at first glance. 1t is
astonishing how such apparently
perfect tools for the purpose can
be made for the money. The
same may be said of the family
tool chests-perfection in every
detail and the price down at bed
rock.
The third invoice OF Electric
Bell out fits has arrived and are

not get a collection of electrical
material anywhere such as we
offer you for two dollars and a
half. If you think you don't
know how to put the bell up
without an assistant we will send
a man to your house who will
do it for you.
The Wertheim Sewing Ma
chine is one of the wonders of
the age. Just think what it does,
1t makes chain stitch identi-
cally the sane as a $40 machine.
1t make good strong lock
stitch the same as is done on a
500 sewing machine, it also
makes "A most perfect embroidery
stitch to get which out of any
other make of machine you must
pay five or ten dollars extra Tor
special attachment. We sell
you a Wertheim that will do all
the above and give perfect
satisfaction in every respect
for fifty dollars. The
table in a Wertheim machine is
superior in finish to any other,
being made of selected wood
