Saves a Woman From Being Killed.

Chas. L. Thomson, Baggage
Master on the Gauley accommoda.
ton, did brave act the other day
by saving a woman from being cut
into pieces by the train. While the
train was at Gauley and backing
down at pretty good speed, he was
standing on the rear end of the
train, when he saw Miss Elite
Starbuek walking along the track,
and supposed she would step off, as
the engine had whistled several
times, but she still remained on the
track, and seeing that the train was
bound to strike her, he caught hold
of the iron railing of the steps to
the coach with one hand and swing
ing out as far as he could, at the
risk of his own life, caught the
woman and held her tightly in his
grip until he got her clear of the
track, thereby saving her life. 1t
took nerve and courage to perform
an act of this kind.

have not as yet heard that bangs
have been out of fashion. If they
really knew the fashion had
changed, we suppose their senti-
ment for the fad was too great to
allow their abandoning it. While
bangs are very becoming to some
yet if others could see themselves

never again appear on their era

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known TO the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.

We Charge Less

than you have been used to paying for
inferior work right along.
AS matter of feet, the ExPRRr( p who
cleans your watch with 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 SO 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 half
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 off the
broken staff. sinks the jewel a little
lower, tells you he has put in a new
etaff and charges you a little less than
the price and you 60 on your way rejoic-
ing. But some day you will discover the
fraud, such work cannot last long. 1t is
dear at any price, which you soon dis
cover to your sorrow.

and with view to strengthening

have a tendency to increase the
wants of the people there. 1t will
doubtless be many years before the
Chinese will look to Japan az a

nations of Hawaii and America are
of such comparatively easy access.
The importance of this country
as a factor in the commercial
growth of the Pacific together with
the growing prominence of the
Islands from the products of their
own lands are features of which
Americans cannot afford to lose
sight. They are plums which,
unless tie United States assumes

HAWAII AS A COMMERCIAL CENTER

Hawaii ranks second to Great
Britain In California's commercial
intercourse" is the proud remark
of the San Francisco Chronicle in
an exhaustive article on the trade
and commerce of San Francisco.
The Importance of the Islands
In the commercial life of CAL
ifornia is steadily on the in
crease as is shown by the custom
house statistics for the years of
1892 and '93, which indicate that
IS per cent. of the export and i'm
port trade is carried on with Pacific
Coast ports. During 1892 the ex-
port trade from San Francisco
amounted to $2,610,0O0, while the
imports from this country were
$7,795,970. In 1893 the exports
were $3,O16,6O0 and the imports
$10,178,O14-an increase in. one
year of $406, 900 and 1882, IA
respectively. California merchants
looking forward to the development
of their trade relations with the ISL
ands of the Pacific, figure that it
will not be many years before Ho-
nolulu becomes the purchasing
depot for Tahiti, Marquesas islands,
Gilbert islands, Marshal islands,
Caroline islands, Tonga, Pitcairn,
and, in fact, nearly all the northern
islands of Oceanic. While Califor-
mia and the other states of the
Western Coast may constitute the |
original source of supply, rich ben
efts viii be realized by merchants
and business houses located at
Honolulu, the natural distributing
point. AS a source of supply
also this country must occupy a
position second only to California
situated as it is directly at the
'ross roads of the great commercial
avenues Of the Pacific.
Again In the commercial bene-
its brought about by the war be-
ween China and Japan, Hawaii
viii come in for its full share.
;hina will realize that the great
ecret of Japan's successes on land
nd sea is due to that country

manners of modern civilization,

A WRITER on the advance made
in the naval armament of nations
looks with disfavor upon the COM
petition going on in Europe in the
construction of naval vessels and
torpedoes, and asks "Where is this
thing to end ?" The more effective
the ornaments are made, the
greater is the temptation to'try the
temper of the weapon, and it GER
tainly is an open question whether
or no the improvement in methods
of warfare will result in a DISPOSE
ton to resort to show of arms.

OPERA HOUSE schemes are good
things to have floating around, az
constant agitation will keep the
matter before the public and finally
result in a decided movement that
amounts to something. Past his
tory has proved that an opera house
utilized for theatrical performances
alone is not a remarkable success
in Honolulu. If a building could
be, erected which would include
Offices and stores as well as hall
with modern appointments, the in
come would undoubtedly pay a fair
interest on the investment. This
plan has been carried out success
fully in many of the small cities of
the States, giving ample accommo-
dation for theaters, the city a good
building, and the stockholders good
returns.
