Out of Sight.

Warrants are out for the appre-
hension of one F. II. Mendenhall,
who it is alleged has "done up"
several people in town. The young
man, who apparently is Of Jewish
extraction, arrived here by the
Australia and like numerous other
tourists who have landed on this
beach, put on style, made a great
splurge about the remittances ex-
pected by the "next" boat, and took
in the people who never will learn a
lesson, and who are always willing
10 take chances on any well'dressed
stranger who talks, but never shows
coin. Mendenhall has so far evaded
the police but will undoubtedly be
apprehended in short while. 1t is
believed that he has gone into the
country. The charge against him is
gross cheat in passing spurious
check on Spreckels e. Co.

Sans SOuCi.

The most lovely spot on Oahu is
Sans Souci. This favorite seaside
resort, which has been immortalized
by the pen of Robert l.. Stevenson,
who resided there for months, is
only four miles from Honolulu and
within easy reach of the tramcars.
The surroundings and bathing at
this famous resort are superior to
anything found in the Hawaiian
Islands, Cottages and board can
be obtained on easy terms. The
table set by the manager is better
than any offered here at other no.
tells. For picnics, bathing parties
and outings the best accommodate
can be secured by giving notice to
the manager.

To Be Uniformed.

Company Fl, under the able COM
mand of Captain Murray, is there to
stay. The commanding officer of
the company wants no skulking and
he has plainly told the 70 men now
enrolled in his company, that they
must be around at drills or be
scratched from the roll. The boys
will have their uniforms in two
weeks, and if they keep up the
present spirit they will soon be
recognized as the crack company OF
the army. There are numerous
applications for membership and
the captain expects shortly to have
the completed number of men en-
rolled.

Much discussion and difference OF
opinion exists as to the renewal OF
the dredger work and the spreading
OF the debris thus rescued on the
land to be raised in level above Nuu-

fetid mud from the bottom Of Nuu-

with a microscope, and see if germs
exist in it or not.

THAT SMALL FARMER.

In an evening paper we are called
the "Common Scold." In a morn
ing paper we are referred to as "cal-

this country, or for that matter, in
any other business in which the pub

Writes the Advertiser: "Our dan
ger in adopting new sanitary meth.
ods is that engineers and experts
will make experiments on a large

is quite right. That is always what
our trouble is. The so-called "engin-
eers and experts" are always making
experiments on large and costly

May we ask Mr.. Loebenstein why
he has not become "small farmer"
in Hawaii. Why does he stand up
and whine because the weather of
Hilo is disagreeable and very. moist,
especially to surveyor2 The gen.

which would not have been sur
prise if his audience had known
him. The dozen people in Hilo

The American League was not
numerous to hear Loebenstein last
night. They were unanimous in
their approval however of his re-

you can truthfully say there, here,

1t is a great pity the Advertiser
writer didn't belong by birth to a
Royal family. Nothing seems to
excite their spleen so much as that
some peoples families have held the
reins of government so long in
various countries that the epithet
royal or reigning is applied to them.
Yet as far as appears all that the
Advertiser cares for is to substitute
one family for another. 1t is not
the fact; it is the personality it
objects to.

questions of hygiene are the
main issues of the day. While
the learned scientists of Europe
are devoting their time and
skill to find remedies which
can destroy the disease breeding
germs, the diseases go on and
cholera, diptheria and typhoid
ravage cities and countries.
Whenever disease becomes
epidemic it is because the germ
found conditions which suited
it and in which it felt at home
and ready for business. The
sanitary conditions of the town
and of the home becomes of
vital. Importance. Honolulu is
having a taste of a cholera cpl
demic and it behooves every
body to do his best in placing
every home in the best sanitary
condition possible.

We call attention to-day to
our Oil Stoves. The "Dietz"
Stove which we carry in stock
has gained a great reputation
everywhere. The one we espe-
cially recommend is the most
complete oil stove ever offered
in the market. 1t is perfectly
safe for the user of it, and it
will answer all purposes in
well regulated household. Five
quarts of oil is sufficient to burn
ten to- twelve hours. In ten
minutes half gallon water cap
be boiled. 1t will fry and boil,
bake or broil at the same time.
You can boil potatoes and bake
biscuit at the same time. In
ten minutes you can broil u
steak to perfection, and in an
hour and a half you can roast
an eight-pound turkey. Once
tried the 'Dietz" Oil Stove will
be found the very thing for the
housekeeper, and the price
brings it within the reach of
everybody.
The Water Coolers which we
have on hand are the very
things for restaurants, saloons,
schools and stores. After the
water is boiled fill the cooler
with it, and even without ice, it
will keep pleasant tempera-
ture. Large families will find
these highly ornamental coolers
of great advantage and a great
saving in regard to ice.

Advertiser is right it will cost. We
already make about 8 per cent on
water, we tax every business, charge
exorbitant rates for the privilege Of

it worth five dollars per annum to
be an ablebodied man outside Of the

THE lieutenants of the regulars
make a good point in the fact that
they are always to be regarded as
in active service. It also suggests
that the training of the regulars,
from the privates up to the highest
officer of the military, should be
such as to equip them for an emer-
gency that calls them to work in
the hills as well as tie protection
of the Government building.
In the matter of payment, If the
salaries of the senior officers and
privates are on a par with those of
similar rank in the United States,
it is not consistent to discriminate
against the lieutenants on whom
much of the routine and combining
work of barracks life falls. The
request made to the Advisory Coun-
ellis, unless circumstances exist OF
which the public is not aware, is
reasonable and does not call for a
particularly large increase in the
military expense account.

WHEN HUsTLING's a SIN.

A writer of the Illustrated Am
erican puts "hustling" on the list
of great American sins. The
strength of his position depends
very much upon what definition Is
given the term. In some respects
it is unfortunate that the "get
there" spirit should have reached
such a prominence in modern life
and it is too often true that in
character building a slowly con-
structed and sure foundation is
skipped over lightly in the mad
rush to get to the front and be
among the bright and shining
lights of the times. Plenty of So
called hustlers are bound to suffer
in the end by what they are pleased
to think is superior smartness. Fast
walking, rapid and loud talking,
and tearing about after the manner
of a loose-limbed boy in a barrel
filled with thistles are not neces-
sarily the discriminating char
acteristics of a successful hust-
Ter. Rapidity that sacrifices care
for small things and endeav-
ors to cover by physical dis
play an expanse too broad for the
capacity may give a
temporary advantage, but it is a
type of hustling that is top-heavy,
and will crumble to its proper level
sooner or later-it may well be
classed as a sin.
The man who can keep quietly
in the back ground, calmly watch
and study the conditions about |
him, and when the opportunity |
offers can push forward with phys
zeal and intellectual strength OBJ
tanned by his quiet study, is the |
hustler that will always be given a
high place in the professional or
business life. He will never be
classed as a sinner. Sham hust-
ing is short-lived, and true merit
Is bound to win.

JApAN's CARE FOR THE WOUNDED.

The kind, careful and skillful
treatment of the wounded Chinese
soldiers in the Japanese hospital is
q feature of the warfare between
the Oriental countries which has
brought not a little merited praise
to the latter nation from foreigners
acquainted with so-called civilized
methods of warfare. A. B. De
Guerville, war correspondent,
who has been with the Japanese
army in field and hospital during
many of the hard battles, draws
attention to the splendid work of
the Japanese Red Cross Society in
a pamphlet entitled "Civilization
and Barbarism." He describes the
hospitals as the perfection of clean
liness-so clean and well-furnished
that nowhere could he detect the
disagreeable odors often met with
In many English and American
hospitals. Many of the nurses are
members of the highest families in
the kingdom, having left the pleas
ures and comforts which they might
enjoy at their homes to go to the
hospitals and care for the poor
wounded. Friend and enemy re-
ceive the same attention when
brought to the hands of the Red
Cross Society. Even Her Majesty
the Empress and the ladies of the
court spend several hours each day
making bandsges and other useful
articles for use among the sick and
wounded.
The surgical operations are car
ried on with every possible care to
assuage pain and suffering, the
common soldier being attended
with the same care as the officers
of the army. Every soldier in the
field carries with him a package Of
disinfectant bandages, 30 that they
may dress their own wounds or
those of their fellow soldiers, thus
oftentimes preventing the misery
attendant to wounds that become
serious through lack Of prompt and
proper care.
Although the Japanese soldiers

WITH arrival of each new batch
of immigrants, the community
gives voice to sentiments that may
be summed mp in, "What are We
coming to-" It must not be for
gotten that four fifths of the people
who are the cause of this feeling
come to this country through the
fundamentally of citizens on this
end of the line. Certainly, if the
labor market is thrown open, no
one can be taken to task for putting
himself forward to be bought for
what he is worth. In the United
States there is ever and anon a
great hue and cry about immi-
grants filling the jails and poor
houses, and furnishing fertile
ground for seeds of future internal
strife, yet thousands of these peo-
pie continue to have free entrance
in New York. Americans talk of
their country being used as a
dumping-ground, when it is the
fault of no one but themselves that
such is the case.

the planter he is called the foe
