Wednesday, June Z.
After receiving a report from the
Committee on Passed Bills and Motif
cation of bills passed by the House, the
Senate took up Minister Cooper's nat
uralization bill The measure passed
the third reading without discussion OF
a dissenting vote.
Senator McCandless' wide-tire bill
as amended by the House came up.
Senator Baldwin did not like the House
amendments, and moved to nOn-cOn-
cur Senator Hooking seconded the
motion, stating that those who favored
the bill had discussed the matter only
with Honolulu wheelwrights and dray-
men, and no attention had been paid
the other districts.
The motion to non-concur resulted in
tie vote President Wilder voted in
the affirmative. A motion to refer to a
conference committee was then carried
and President Wilder appointed SEN
ators Lyman, Baldwin and McCand-
less.
House bill 50, relating to national hol-
idays, was taken up and passed to the
second reading. There was cOnsidera-
BILE discussion on the new holiday for
September, it being maintained that no
place but Honolulu would observe the
day. Senator Wright held that it
would work a hardship on plantations.
Senator Baldwin said as the day did
not come in the grinding season the
plantations would raise no objection.
Senators Lyman and Northrup ia
vored the day. The bill finally passed
the second reading without a dissent
ing vote.
Under suspension of the rules Min
lister Cooper presented a communities
ton from the President appointing
James Moorkens Vice-Consul at En-
senada, California. The Senate went
into executive session and endorsed the
appointment by a unanimous vote.
The Senate then adjourned, a caucus
| being called Immediately after adj
| journment The object of this caucus
was to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
| peaIing the Registration Act. What
conclusions were reached were moi
made public, but the question viii
doubtless come up during Fridays

Hawkes. Cut Glass.

There is no continuous din, no great
flare of trumpets, no everlasting blow
of their wares, but you see only these
few quiet words:
FIRST PRIZE OVER EVERY COM
PETITOR, for BRILLIANCY, for DE
SIGN, and for COLOR.
No other make can equal it. The
production of the glass itself, the base
or blank on which the cutting is done,
is done by a secret process, which
turns it out as white as the whitest
Cape diamond.
On top of this comes their superior
designs, elaborate cutting, leaving
hardly a sixteenth of an inch uncut on
the entire surface of the article. This
is the class of goods we handle and of
which we sell such quantities.
Absolutely unapproachable in any
way, it today stands at the head, and
WILL KEEP AT THE HEAD, for ev-
cry new cutting made is more beauti-
full than the preceding one; every
piece more artistic than the last.
We are the only ones who sell
Hawkes. Cut Glass in the Islands;
therefore, you run no risk of not get
ting the choicest when purchasing
from us. New pieces have just come
in, and you will find in our stock al
most everything needful for the table,
together with some useful articles for
your dresser.

What Is
.PURIFINE?

1t is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect
ants, being a scientific compound,
having no odOr, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where doors and germs Of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
OF charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for S1.00
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles, and APP
peals to everyone of common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagrceable smell Of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
its place. You don't know that
powerful disinfectant is being used
if you Judge by the lack Of odor
But it's doing the duty-doing it
well. Can w show you the Ideal
