tOUNTY CONSTABLES MEET.
They Propose 80 Take Steps to Bring
About Several Changes.

\ secret session of the constables of
Lacka wanna county was held yester-
day afternoon in the arbitration room
of the court house. Notices had been
sent out to all the constables to be
prcse.t. but only a small percentage
responded. ..n
After the meeting one of the guar
dians of the peace in conversation with
Tribune reporter said that their OBJ
ject was to bring about certain changes
which will make their offices more
profitable. One complaint they claim
to be suffering from is the surplus OF
special constables in the city. Another
Is that when requisition papers are
served the job has heretofore been
given to some police officer. The con-
stables say that they are officers of the
commonwealth and when any business
pertaining to the commonwealth Is
transacted that they should get the
benefit and not municipal officers.
They also desire to derive the benefit
of the new fee bill which the county
commissioners refuse to accord to
them.

THE case of Mr.. Thurston,
which in this instance cannot be
separated from that of Hawaii, has
been placed before the American
people. He has made a frank
statement of the differences be
tween himself and Mr.. Gresham.
Much of the detail has ready veri-
fcation. There is little difficulty
in accepting Mr.. Thurstons brief
complete. His relation of trans
actions with the American State
Department has ample confirma-
ton in circumstances attendant,
prior and subsequent. The former
Hawaiian minister has been ex-
trenely careful to avoid submit
ting evidence that could be con-
strued as being shaped after the
death of Mr.. Gresham.

TOLSTOTS LIFE"

The philosophy of Count Leo
Tolstoi is made lucid in his new
work Life, translated but short
time since and reviewed in the
Arena of January.
Most men, he says, lead only an
animal life. Others attempt to
teach the meaning Of life without
understanding it themselves. These
teachers he divides into two classes,
the Scribes and the Pharisees.
The Scrlbes are the scientists,
who teach that there is no life but
the present. Their science is really
in its infancy. They understand
one or two aspects of life and pre-
tend to give an explanation of the
whole.
The Pharisees are false doctors;
they profess the tenets ofthe found
ers OF their religion without in
the least understanding them.
They reject the doctrines of
the scientists and philosophers as
insignificant because they have
never been able to gain a hold on
the masses, while the Scribes re-
ject the religions Of Buddha, of
Isaiah and of Christ, as supersti-
tons because they have transform
ed the lives of millions of men.
The new life begins when man
renounces the welfare of his animal
individuality and submits himself
to the law of reason. Reason shows
that happiness cannot be obtained
by leading selfish life. Love is
the only legitimate activity of life.
But real love is not the pleasure
derived from the presence Of few
preferred persons. Love is the
preference WHICH VIC dSSoiu "
other beings over ourselves. T." 1t is
a calm and joyous state, and in it
is the only true happiness for man.
The 81" which has puzzled so
many philosophers, can be defined
by a child-it is that which likes,
which loves. To the man who loves
there is no real death, for he loves
his brother after death as he loved
him alive, and he is always with
him. This gives him sense of i'm
mortality. "Faith in immortality
cannot be received from another;
you cannot convince yourself CT it
by argument"
There is no demand by Tolstoi to
task oneself with the things Of the
next life and of the supersensible
world, but all are told to perform
certain duties on earth here in our
practical life. Tolstoi makes no
claim to originality. His belief is
essentially Christian. The founder
Of the Christian religion says, "a
new commandment give unto you,
that We love one another"

We expect that when we
open our store doors to the
public on the 18th inst.
that the people will come there
about as ladies go to a millinery
exhibition; not to buy, of course,
but to get ideas and obtain
prices. That's what we want.
The entire day will be devoted
to conveying information to
callers and selling them goods
if they see something that
strikes their fancy.
We are proud of the store,
proud of what we have done to
give the people of Honolulu
the same facilities for buying
good goods at low prices, that
they get in the States, and we
will derive pleasure in convinc-
ing the people that the rumors
circulated by competitors that
because our store is the hand
soonest in the city it will
necessarily follow that the
prices are higher is a campaign
story and false as a hollow
tree.
What we will sell you is
good, there is no question as to
the quality, even our business
rivals concede that, it's the
price that will surprise you.
Dealers that have been selling
an article for $lO-marvel at
our selling the same thing at
half the money. It's the buy
ing of it properly that enables
US to do it. Some people do
not buy as we do-for cash at
a discount.
On the 18th we will show
you Crockery, Glassware of
every description, Filters,
Lamps, Cutlery, Plated Ware,
Woodenware, Refrigerators,
Hardware, Agateware, Tin
ware, Stoves and Ranges and
an immense assortment of the
latest novelties in household
utensils. Cheapness in price
does not mean low quality of
goods.
We deliver goods free every
day all over the city including
Waikiki.
