 Take my shoes away! l guess not"
 ''Oh, that's all right have pair here that you can wear.

 The man unrolled from sheet of newspaper two very large shoes and said, There they are. '
 Great Scott, they ro big!'
 ''Yes, sir, they'll fit any kind of a man. Now, you give me your shoes, and I'll havo 'cm half soled and back here in less than no time.
 As his shoes really needed the repairs. the clerk took them of and put on q pair taken from the newspaper They were at least No 12, but that made very little difference so long as ho didn't have to show himself to any one.
 Within two minutes after his shoes had been taken away the clerk slapped his leg and said: By George, I never thought of it! That fellow a swindler Ho did that merely to get possession of | my shoes.
 Just then the door opened, and two l young women stepped inside. One was a relative of tho senior partner The clerk jumped down from his stool to go for ward and meet them, and just as his feet struck the floor he remembered the shoes and hesitated.

THE HUI ALOHA ANA.
MEETING ron ACTION on THE
DEATH or MIR. GRE>HAM.


Between two and three hundred
people gathered on Union Square
at s o'clock yesterday afternoon,
pursuant to a call of the Hui Aloha
Alma. J. Nawahi presided, He
stated that the object of the gather
ing was to draft resolutions Of con-
dolence and forward same TO the
widow of the late Secretary Of
State, Walter Q. Gresham. In
calling the assemblage the speaker
felt that the Hawaiians were ahead
Of their foreign brethren in offering
their sympathy to those in grief.
The late Secretary had been a
champion of the Hawaiian cause
and was at all times against annex
alton.
Secretary Kaulia then read the
following memoriam:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased AL
mighty God to take away from this
earth Walter Q. Gresham, Secre.
tary of State of the United States,
to the realms Of the blessed as we
firmly believe; and
WHEREAS In his capacity OF
Secretary of State he was asked to
investigate matters concerning Ha-
waii nei and the wrong done to our
Queen and the nation by those i'll
power in the United States; and
WHEREAS, After he had investi-
gated with great forbearance, he
decided that wrong was done to
our Queen and our nation, and
that it was fitting that the Presi-
dent of the United States should
make amends for the wrongs which
the servants of that great nation
had done; and
WHEREAS, In all his doings look
ing toward our good he showed us
the highest regard without fear,
and
WHEREAS, 1t has not fallen up
on him to bear the burden of keep
ing up these wrong -doings which
we are now bearing, and
WHEREAS, 1t has fallen on the
widow and the beloved children the
burden of losing a good husband
and loving parent, it would be
the duty of Hawaiian people to
show their feeling of coincidence for
the trial which has fallen upon
them; therefore, be it
ReSOi0ed, That we show our
heartfelt sympathy TO the widow
and orphans in the trouble which
has befallen them; and we pray to
God Almighty to tighten their
thoughts and feelings in the dark
hours of sorrow.
ResOi0ed, That these resolutions
be prepared and sent to Mrs. Gres-
ham and her children.
After the reading of resolutions
MIR. Nawahi appointed COMMITTEES
to insist of H. A. Widemann, ].
K. Kaulia, Enoch Johnson, Abra-
ham Fernandez and J. Nawahi tc
have an engrossed copy Of the reso-
lutions forwarded to Mrs. Gresham

Hawiian
Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and l
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mi nd
that you want the best and safest light: send
for the Hawaiian Electric Corupa,,Ii and tel
them what you want,

James Derwin of John street, a student at St Charles college. is home for the sum- mer months. #s
 For some time residents ;of Simon street have been clamoring for sidewalks on the west side of the street. The curb is on the ground, but nothing has been done about setting it or laying the walk.
 It was feared that John Mulcshy of Jackson street, who jumped from the trestle work of the New England road, at the Bank atreet crossing yesterday noon. was injured internally, but this was not true. His injuries are nothing more than reported last night
 -E. P. Dunphy, clerk at l.. P. X A. M. Guilfoile's, had quite an upset in South Brooklyn this morning. One of the wheels of his delivery wagon came of and the vehicle was overturned throwing Mir Dunphy into the street on his head He was stunned by the fall but was not ser iously injured and after short time was able to continue on his route.
 A resident of Washington street told a reporter this morning he believed that City Engineer Cairns and President Welton of the board were in league with the saloon keepers and manufacturers of mineral water. For the first time in hls life, he said, he saw beer and soda water on the dinner table yesterday and he knows of a dczen other families where the same thing occurred. He believes there was more lag T beer and soda water drank in Waterbury yesterday than ever has been in one day during the history of the town.
 By order of ths road board. residents of the third ward whose sidewalks are out of repair are being notified to put them in proper shape for public travel. If the or der is not complied with the street inspec- tor will proceed to do the work at the ex- pense of abutting property owners. The number of places in need of repairs is enormous and the board has determined that necessary repairs must be completed before fall. It is hoped that the board will force the owners of the property just south of the Bank street bridge to repair the walk at both sides as it is the worst place in the ward.
