In a climate like this,
where summer reignS twelve
months in the calendar year
and thirteen during the dry
season, there are two articles
that are at once useful. A
refrigerator and an ice cream
freezer.
In the selection of either a
certain amount of care must
be exercised in order to keep
from being gulled. A good
plan is to take the record of
"a refrigerator, learn what
your friends who are using
it think about it. See if there
is economy of ice and beauty
in the appearance Of it and
then learn about the parts
that are necessary to be
cleaned. Find out these
things and then buy your
refrigerator. We may be able
to assist you a little, because
we have made refrigeratOrS
"a study. In all of our look
ing around we found nothing
to equal the Improved Cur
ney; remember we say i'm
proved, and it embodieS
every point we have men
toned. 1t is economical of
ice and we will prove this
by having a test with any
other dealer, selling refrigera-
tors for any donation to a
charitable institution that
may be agreed upon. 1t is
the easiest , cleaned, every
part being SO arranged that
it may be taken out and
washed. 1t is lined with
mineral wool, the best
non : conductor Of heat
known. They are made of
hard wood and handsome
ly carved and polished.
These refrigerators are
cheaper than common refri-
gerator for two reasons: they
don't cost so much money
and they will last longer.
We have all sizes and

FILTERS.

The report of the eXecu-
tive officer of the Board of
Health relative to the
condition of the Nuuanu
reservoirs is suggestive of
something dangerous to
health. 1t also suggests fill
tiers, good filters, something
that will effectually separate
the water from mud and filth.
Nature has done much
toward providing the people
with necessarieS; it has also
done a little toward securing
for the people, luXurieS In
some localities a filter is a
luxury, in others, Honolulu
for instance, it is necessity,
but the natural filters that are
sold have been much i'm
proved by the ingenuity of
man.
Charcoal is admitted to be
the most thorough purifying
agent known, consequently
M5SSrS. Slack & Brownlow Sc
lected it for use in the manu-
facture of their filters. And
we are the agents for this
particular brand of filter in
Honolulu, asufficient guaran-
tee, by the way, of the
character of the article.
The latest invoices show
three different, styles of the

have in stock, just opened

No. and 3 are provided

dition that every part, in
Guiding the pure water

The price of the S. & B.

MASONIC TEMPLE BURNED
Half Million Dollars Damage Caused
by Fire at Providencs.
Opera House and Narragansett Hotel
Were Saved Only by Extraordinary
Exertions of Fire Department.

Providence, r. l., March 19.-This city
was visited by another disastrous conflagra-
ton at an early hour this morning, fire
breaking out in the Masonic building in
Pine street shortly after O'Clock and
totally destroying that edifice, besides
causing considerable damage to adjacent
buildings in the rear of the structure.
From the Pine street side the firemen
pla yed numerous streams from the fire
escapes and roof OF the Providence Opera
building. That structure seemed the most
proba BILE victim OF the obstinate blaze across
the street and the clouds of sparks which
floated toward Westminster street threat
ened the Narragansett Hotel continuously.
With the arrival of other portions of ap-
paratus, however, more men were sta
toned on the roofs of the opera house and
the hotel, and they kept the flames in
check.
In less than half an hour from the time the
blaze was discovered the central and rear
portions of the Masonic Building, compris-
ing the halls and Iojge-rooms of The lodges,
were enveloped III flames, AMI the bare walls
formed perfect chimney for the column OF
flames. 1t was an imposing spectacle, but
of serious import TO the near-lying build
ings.
The water tower was ordered way but
few minutes before the Dorrance street wall
fell From the time of the crashing of the
side and rear walls, the work of the fremen
was smplified. and the first menacing
blaze was under control about $40 O'Clock.
The loss is estimated at 100000.

STUCK FULL OF HAT PINS
New York Insurance Agent Found
Unconscious in a Pittsburg Alley.
Dagger Through His Cheek and Ears
venge Of q jealous Rival

Pittsburg, Pa, March 19.-George Tombs
who gives his residence as New York and
Claims to be an agent of life insurance
company, was found unconscious In an
alley near the Y. n. c. A. building, on
Seventh street, last night.
Stuck In his right cheek was a pearl
handled dagger. His two ears were pierced
and folded from the top to lobe with hat
pins OF fancy design. In his left cheek was
another hat pin. There was also one stuck
in his forehead and one in the back Of his
neck.
While at Atlantic City last summer,
Tombs says, he met Rosa Baretti, an
Italian girl, of Philadelphia. They were
TO be married at McKeesport last night
They arrived in that city Tuesday night
and were met at the depot by supposed
friends.
The latter, Tombs says. put him in one
carriage and the girl in another. As he
was pushed in he was rendered uncon-
scious by a blow on the head. He re-
members nothing more until he regaincd
his senses at the police station.
He says Rosa had another lover, Paul
Ferona, who swore revenge when he heard
she would marry Tombs. The police do
not believe the mans story, but are in
vestigating.

KANSAS POPULISTS MEET.

Delegates Elected 10 the NatiOna Con.
ventiOn.
Hutchinson, kans., March 9.-The Popu-
lists of Kansas held an enth husiastic con
ventiOn here yesterday and elected ninet y
two delegates TO the national convention at
st. Louis.
Unusual interest attached to this con.
ventiOn, for it was expected to outline the
policy of the party in reference to national
politics in the coming campaign.
The delegation will be headed by ex.
Governor LewelIing, John W. Breidential,
chairman of the State Central Committee;
ex-COngressman Harris and Judge Frank
Doster, as delegates at large.
The platform adopted demands the free
coinage of both gold and silver at a ratio
of 16 to and if necessary for the pro-
lection OF the producing classes, the govern
ment ownership of all public utilities.
The convention was attended by leading
Populists from other States and 1t is
understood efforts will be made to unite
with the independent bimetaliists at their
st. Louis convention, upon a ticket, though
each convention may adopt its own plat
form. Taubeneck of Illinois, and Nc
Dowell of Tennessee, are here presenting
that scheme.

RIGHT TO TRANSFER CASES
Effect of a Decision Rendered by
the Court of Appeals.
Attorneys Say It VIII Completely Rev
OlutiOnize the Practice That Has
Hitherto Prevailed.

The court of appeals Tuesday decided
case involving the transfer of cases from
justices OF the peace to the District su-
preme court. Several attorneys, in speak
ing OF the case, said that it would COM
plctely reyOlutionize the practice that
has hitherto prevailed. justice OF the
peace to whom the terms OF the decision
were stated said that the decision merely
affirmed the rule that had Eeen followed.
The case was that OF ]. W. HcndIey and
Warren Biggs against Jacob p. Clark.
Before the justice a judgment was OBJ
tanned for $2s6.95. This was upon the
proof OF tie claim. Judgment was given
on December 20, 1895. A Petition for a
writ OF certiorari was filed. asking that
the case be sent TO the District supreme
court as OF concurrent jurisdiction with
the Justice. The justice received the writ
only an hour after the Judgment was en-
tered. The circuit court refused to quash
the writ, and granted a petition for
special appeal to the court OF appeals.
The writ for certification was in the
nature OF granting a new trial, regardless
OF the judgment. Judge Morris, in writ
ing the opinion holds that while such
certification seems TO lie warranted by
decision OF the general term OF the District
supreme court In 1873, it should not hold
now; for the conditions existing at the
present time are different.
In this case the justice had Jurisdiction
by the bringing OF the suit and the case
could only be taken from him By removal
to the nearest justice or by appeal. His
Jurisdiction could not be Ousted by wri;
of certiorari after judgment had been
rendered. Furthermore, il the writ had
been taken out and placed in the hands
OF the officer before judgment had been
taken it would not have availed. The
authorities seem conclusive that 1t is the
service of the writ and not its issue that
is effective.
1T was an error to issue the writ upon
the ground of mere concurrent Jurisdiction.
After the Judgment rendered by the justice
the service OF the writ became nugatory-
IL could not be made to take the place OF a
writ in error or an appeal" holds the cour rt.
II the decision means that writs or GER
tiorari cannot be used to carry proceedings
from the justices to the supreme court be-
fore judgment has been rendered it GER
tainIy does reverse the prevalent practice
but it seems rather to mean only that they
cannot be used after judgment has been
taken.

q Floral Skate.

Miss Mabel Davidson Presented With
Floral Skate.
The return OF Miss Mabel Davidson to the
Ice Palace was a shrewd stroke on the part
OF the mana cement. for the big attendance
last night proved her great popularity.
By O'Clock, when her act came on the
great hall was packed with a delighted
crowd who gazcd intently at the little
lady during her entire exhibition and
broke out into hearty applause at each new
feature. The enthusiasm eliminated, how
ever. when at the close of her exhibition
without giving her time to leave the ice
there was drawn forward a magnificent
floral skate, which was presented to her on
behalf of the employees of the Ice Palace.
This tribute was veritable work of
art. On pedestal OF laurel leaves, dotted
with La France roses. there rested a lady's
skate five feet in length. Therunner, which
was in perfect proportion. was of mirror
and the heel cap was OF red and white car
nations. into which were thrust beauti-
ful roses. The clamps and shoe were also
OF carnations and there was the strap
and buckle also of the same fragrant bios
sons. 1t was really the finest piece OF
floral architecture that has ever been
seen In this city and was designed and ex-
ecuted by Mr.. j. Henry Small.
Miss Davidson was taken completely by
surprise, but managed to murmur her
thanks and express her delight at the
unique gift The great crowd cheered
Miss Davidson as she retired and the sknt-
ers resumed their sport. Miss Davidson

There is much difference of opinion re-
'agrding the Marquette statue. as has been
evidenced by the many arguments pro
| and con.
| While the discussion has been going on
q new phase OF the question has been
| brought to light, viz, that there already
| exists at the Capitol statuettes and portray
ais of the Catholic priesthood.
In one OF the famous bronze doors at the
main entrance to the Capitol there is placed
conspicuously a statuette of Pope Alex.
ander VI, who reigned in 1493, an,
granted to Spain the right to occupy the
new world, which had Just been discovered
by Columbus. This pope is represented
with crucifix in ha nd, and aitired in
pontifical robes. The figure ba been there
for thirty-three years, ever since the great
doors were hung.
IN THE OIL PAINTINGS.
In the beautiful collection Of hist Orical oil
paintings which adOrn The walls OF the great
rotunda OF the Capitol may be seen Roman
Catholic priests, monks, and Protestant
preachers, wearing their churchly garments.
In the notable painting, The Discovery of
the Mississippi River by De Soto" is de-
picted the planting of the cross ON he banks
Of the stream by the great cx plorer and his
followers. A priest with crucifix stands by
the elevated cross, while monk ca u be seen
kneelinS down, consecraGng the ground
in which the cross is placed.
The fnezc on the walls of the rotunda
represents priest in lis raiment. This
is in the section showing the burial OF De
Soto in the Mississippi. The boat in
which is placed the explorers bier is
duly lighted by torches, and at the head
stands u priest reci,ing tie masses.
The great bronze doors ut the entrance
OF the Capitol, which contain the figures
OF Pope Alexander vi, are filled with
monks and priests. Almost every Colum-
bus scene has its priest. The priest ap-
pears in the scene OF the interview be-
tween Isabelle and Ferdinand. Priests
stand by Columbus and offer prayer when
he lands on the New World, and in the
encounter with the natives there is another
monk in holy roles. A monks weeps at the
recall and arrest of Columbus, and later
administers the rites OF sacrament in the
death scene of the discoverer.
OTHER INSTANCES.
There are also other inst ances In the
southwest lobby OF the Senate Is a large
picture OF Las Casas, robed as a Jesuit
priest, while the most significant picture
Of all is the painting hung from the walls
representing The first Catholic mission in
California. 1t shows 4 Catholic priest
holding the first mass. The crucifiN, as in
the Marquette statue. is thrust in his belt.
During the present discussion these pic
lures have received considerable attention,
aud the visitors at the Capitol evince more
desire to see the great bronze doors, the
pictures in The rotunda ard the rrieze than
ever before. Meanwhile Marquette still
holds his own in Siatuary Hail. guarded by
Jealous policemen and the watcbful eyes OF
attentive visitors.
