GREAT SCOTT, BALTIMORE.

GREAT SCOTT, BALTIMORE.
But there's only one Great
Scott.
Great Scott is worried
up to His neck in worry-how to get
rid of Hilton, Hughes & Co.'S
Christmas Novelties.
Only TOUR business days
from now till Christmas ueavng
out to-day, and to give away fifty
thousand dollars worth of
Hilton, Hughes & Co.'S Novel
ties (made more for those who look at them
than those VINO sit on them) in four days
seems like drying up Niagara
Falls with tin dipper.
But Great Scott clenches
his teeth in an emergency,
and when He says to His
hundreds of statesmen, "Give
Hilton, Hughes & Co.'S goods
away before Christmas at any
price at all to take them
away" the Old Man is in
dead earnest.
Great Scott has never yet
found it necessary to lie to
anybody.
The highest feather in the
cap of the Great Price-Cutter
is that He ranks everybody
on the same level.
Where's the use iooling
when the whole world is made
up of but two kinds OF People
-"Men and Women
Great Scott finds it always
necessary to save some peo-
pie from themselves.
Day after day you find some
"rotten-eyed' representative
OF some "combine,' wearing
a Grease down his pants tDack
and 'ortO) and wearing an air OF
intense stupidity.
Great Scott says: "Throw
the rope over the ledge; let
the sucker sink"
Great Scott wants to know
the percentage Of Common
Honesty in this world, and He
can only know it by finding it
out.
Among the Masses, Great
Scott says the average is very
high; among the "Classes'
there's none at all, for he who
is dead laad squondercd his lathcr's money!
is dead all over, and flesh
worms don't meet personal
bligations.
Great Scott is much greater
inside than outside. His great
five-acre stores present. small

takes in the whole heavens
when you look into the small
end OF it, but once inside will
see everything worth seeing.
So it is with Great SCOTS

Howard street. You who stay

THE BUTTE RES sERvoIR.

Arthur P. Davis, of the hydo-
graphic branch of. the United
States geological survey, completed
the work of surveying the Butte
reservoir site last week. Prior to
his departure Mr.. Davis expressed
himself to Tribune reporter as
being well pleased with the loca-
stion, aid will doubtless strongly
recommend that the government
build it., His report will show
that a dam ITO feet high. filled
within ten feet of the top, will
store 205, 900 acre feet Of water,
while one 160 feet high will store
. l73,000 acre feet, either being suf-
icient to irrigate considerable more
than 100000 acres of land. In
both cases there will be natural
spillways on either side of the dam
large enough to carry off the flood
waters of the Gila. His plans will
further provide for tunnel thro'
the south butte, some 500 feet in
length, as wasteway for debris,
through which the muddy waters
will escape in time of food thereby
preventing the reservoir from fill
ing up.-Florence Tribune.

Other things being equal. the route
which has the greatest advantages viii
lie nearest 10 what may De considered
the axiaI line of the worlds commerce,
which may be drawn on the globe be-
tween Hongkong and Yokohama on the
Asiatic coast OF the Pacific. through
San Francisco. across the United States
10 New York and across the Atlantic to
Liverpool OF Havre Tehuantepec, of
all the interoceauic rOuts lies nearest
70 this axial line In a direct line the
distance is 1900 miles between Tehuan-
tepec and Panama, or about as far as
from New York to New Orleans. The
shortest sail or steamer route from
eastern Asia 10 any point on the Pacific
coast Of the American isthmus passes
close 10 the shore line of Tehuantepec.
In fact the shortest great circle from
Panama TO Hongkong will pass through
Tehuantepec east of San Francisco and
nearly up 10 the Aleutian islands. Even
the shortest route from Panama to the
Hawaiian Islands will pass close to Te-
huantepec. II Will require almost a
doubling OF. the aforementioned dis
tance TO cross the isthmus of Panama,
particularly for all traffic of the Pacific
seeking gulf ports.
In less degree the distance by way
OF Panama TO all Atlantic ports of the
United States and Europe is greater
than the Tehuantepec distance"
Another advantage claimed for this
route over the Panama route is that ii
can be taken advantage of by sailing
vessels, which hesitate to attempt the
Panama ports because of the Gains
which prevail there.
H. E. Huntington of the Southern
Pacific said he had heard that an Eng
Iish syndicate had secured control of
the Tehuantepec road and was going
to rebuild it and improve the harbors
on each side, but he had not heard the
terms of the lease nor in any other
than a general way what it was pro-
posed to do Up to the present, he
said, the road had cut no figure what
ever in interOceanic traffic because OF
the want OF good harbors.
| Captain Merry, secretary of the
! Chamber of Commerce, likewise had
heard a rumor that the control of the
new road had passed into the hands OF
| a syndicate.
The port of Salina Cruz" he said
| is a rOadstead in the arc of a gentle
curve. Three small islands stand out
! in front Of the town. There are nc
great engineering difficulties in the way
! of making it a safe and commodious
harbor. But the cost is still largely g
matter Of conjecture. 1t might be VI
| in the millions. On the Gulf side the
Coatzacoalcos river is sixty feet deer
| for twenty miles from it's mouth, form
ing most magnificent harbor. But al
the entrance there is bar which viii
require jetties to make navigable fol-
deep drought vessels
! The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
connects with Salina Cruz by one of its
way lines from Acapulco.

BY the Albert which arriv-
ed a few days ago we re-
ceived I28 Quincy Cleanable
Refrigerators, ranging in size
from the small household ice
box to that used in a grocery
store. 1t was a large in
volce--not consigned, but
bought outright. These re-
frigeratorS and ice boxes
have nine points of eXcell-
enCe, to wit:
Cleanliness, free circula-
ton; economy in the use of
ice; condensation and dry
air; low average temperature;
freedom from condensation
on the inner walls; freedom
from damage by the use of
ice picks; proper location of
drip pipe and long life.
lneSe points are found only
in the Quincy cleanable.
Now for the reason for the
large purchase. There are
1913 persons in Honolulu
who need refrigerators,
many of them have old ones.
We propose leasing these
Irefrigerators on the follow
ing term: The selling prices
of the article is divided by
six: when the refrigerator
is delivered one-Sixth of the
price is paid in cash and
monthly thereafter in equal
payments until the entire
amount is paid. If before
the expiration of the Six
months, the lessee wishes
to pay off the balance he will
be entitled to a discount of
five per cent. on the amount
unpaid. If a customer wants
to buy outright for cash, he
gets five per cent. discount
on the entire amount.
The Quincy cleanable can
be had only of us.

Col Will E. Fisher, whose portrait
graces our title page this issue, holds
a commission as Lieutenant Colonel and
Aide-de-Camp on the staff of Com
mander-in-Chief Governor Budd. Col.
Fisher, like many other prominent Of
ficers in the Guard, began his career in
the Guard in F company of the old
Second Artillery, where he cheerfully
served in the ranks for about four years,
having entered service during the Kear-
ney riots of 1877. Col. Fisher is a native
of San Francisco and has resided here
permanently except for the time he
was superintendent of a gold mine in
Nevada county, and the numerous trips
sight seeing, he being great traveller.
He is very energetic and highly respect
ed in business circles, handling one of
the largest real estate concerns in this
city. He is also prominent in politics,
and being personally acquainted with
Major Mckinley, is making strong eff
forts for his success this fall.
Everywhere and among all circles he
is exceedingly popular, and is rated
among the boys as a jolly good fellow.
In National Guard circles he is a recog-
nized leader in matters for the benefit
of the organization, and is ever free to
support measures for its welfare, being
intensely patriotic. His brother, Col.
J. H. Fisher, holds a Colonelcy in the

AN ARMENIAN NATIONAL SONG.

"a Young Captive's Lament)
Swallow, swallow, bird Of Spring!
Whittier 1iest thou away,
Swiftly darted on the wing?
Tell me sweet, oh tell me, pray!
To my castle home repair,
To the land that gave me birth.
Build thy nest in shelter there
OF the dearest home on earth.
Far away across the deep
Waits his son from day to day
The old man who vainly weeps
Mourning ever silently.
Give him greetings from that son
Tell him how he captive sits,
Well it is he mOuTns the one
Whom mourning well BELTS.
For my life is half consumed,
Chatting 'gainst my captive chains
Weeping, mourning, 1 am doomed
To the imprisoned exiles' pains
Let the sun be ne'er so bright
Always it is dark to NE
And my sleep comes not at night
While l mourn captivity.
Tell him that as budding flowers
Wither, snatched from mother earth
So I grieye in useful hours,
For the country Of my birth
Oh loved swallow, quickly fly
Toward my land my castle home
Thou may'st so but never I
Ger the oceans bTiny foam.

sew Y0H K STOCK I RK

New York, March 18.--In only three
stocks to-day were the records of bust
ness important SO far as activity was
concerned. The market was no less
strictly professional than heretofore
and the net changes at the close re-
corded losses of 1(02 per cent in more
prominent shares. The rapidly sue
ceeding political complications in Eu-
rope were responsible for apathy in
the security markets abroad and the
London quotationssfor American stocks
showed declines of A0DA. Tobacco
again outclassed all of its competitors
in extent of trading; that stock figur-
ing for $4,000 shares out of an aggre-
gate of about 171,000 shares. A drop
of 2Ha per cent in its price was sue
ceeded by a full recovery but renewed
selling late in the day resulted in a net
loss OF 1$s per cent. The directors of
the company were in session to-day,
but according to an official, no action
was taken on the alleged impending
additional issue of $1,000,000 of the
preferred stock. 1t was stated that
only routine business was transacted.
The weakness in the stock was vari-
ousIy attributed, although manipula-
ton was probably the whole cause,
TO the expectation of an unfayorable
decision in the proceedings to annul
the charter of the company. This mat
ter comes up at Trenton before the
State authorities of New Jersey on
Monday of next week 1t was also
rumored that all idea of dividend
in the immediate future
had been given up.
Railroad bonds were heavy with
severe declines in some instances, but
chiefly in the Northern Pacific. The
dealings aggregated 100000.
