AN AGILE HISTORIAN.
What Brother Bill Won In a Canadian BIZ
cYcle Race.

What Brother Bill Won In Canadian BIZ
cycle Race.
The thick necked barber was telling about
. road race in which his brother, who IL
somewhat of n bicycler, had ridden.
why" he said, that race was just like
pie for Bill. He won that medal as easy az
II he had found it."
"Where was iti" asked the man in thu
chair
"Over in Canada. You see, it was this
way: Bill hadn't been dom much trainin,
but says to him that that race was pud-
din, an he went into 1t. He won in walk.
The prize was a $50 bicycle"
Had an easy thing, did her" asked the
man In the chair.
EASY amt no name for 1t. He got that
horse an buggy that was hung up for the
prize as slick as II some man had come
along an give it to him. 1t was a cinch."
"Were there any other good riders In the
racer" asked the man in the chair.
"Oh, half dozen or 80 was scratch men,
like Bill; but, you see, Bill didn't mind no
little thing like that He said to me before
he went over that he was out for that
grand piano that was put up for first, an
he didn't take no chances. He Just cut out
the runnin from the very start, an when he
got home he says to my sister, says he, Sis,
I won you a grand piano over there Of them
blamed Canucks, an it will be over here In
q day or two says he. An, say, that piano
Is daisy an no mistake"
pretty valuable prize" ventured the
man in the chair.
"Oh, sort Of. Besides the piano, there
was $3.50 watch that was hung up too
Bill he just naturally cabbaged the hull
outfit. When 1t comes to ridin bike Bits
as good as they make EN-"
Just then a lantern jawed, stoop shout
dered youth strolled into the shop. "Hullo,
Billr' said the thick necked barber. ~
was tellin this gentleman about the prize
you took over In Canada the other day."
"Yes," said the man in the chair, "as
near as can make out 1t was a medal, a
bicycle, a horse and buggy, a grand plano
and $3.50 watch"
During the recital the lantern jaws of
the youth opened wide in establishment.
"Was that what he saidi" he asked.
"As near as / could make out" replied
the man In the chair.
| "Well," said the lantern jawed youth
slowly, 'that's pretty close for him, What
got was an oak rocking chair"
| And the thick necked barber took an
inch of skin of the chin of the man in the
chair for revenge. Express.

There are a great many use
full articles slowed away on the
shelves and in the dark corners
of stores around Honolulu that
never see the light of day be-
cause the dealers grow care
less. 1t is our policy to handle
good things and to keep them
before the public, giving the
people an opportunity of our
experience abroad, where new,
and often good things are
being constantly introduced.
A goodly portion of our second
floor is set apart for novelties
in household utensils and it is
really astonishing the number
of new things we have. They
are not all new, other dealers
have ideas for good things but
they are not always far reach
ing.
The Premier Egg Cup is a
good thing, very good thing,
but it has never been sold here
to any great extent. There's
no question about this being
good, no doubt about their
usefulness, but the people, vul-
carly speaking, have not got
next to themselves on the
subject.
The Premier Cup is made o
white porcelain with a nickel
plated screw top attachment
The egg when taken from thu
shell is dropped into the por
celain cup, the top screwed OF
and the whole business dropped
into the water. When it ha
cooked send the cup to the tabl'
and one has only to remove thu
lid and season the egg to taste
No danger of antiquated egg
going to table, no misery iron
burnt fingers caused by remov
: ing the shell. Every thing j
as clean and fresh as a bugl
and the cups cost only $4.5'
per dozen.
Another thing, useful t.
some people and costing almos
nothing is a corn cutter. No
!. a chiropodist's knife, but a littl
tin affair for removing the cor
from the cob. 1t cleans it O
u with wonderful quickness an
!. takes everything. This
j useful in the kitchen and if
'e was of finer finish could b
used on the table.

One of the artless and attractive charao
teristics OF children is their easy intimacy
with heaven and the deity, When little
mite at Sunday school, or out of 1t indeed,
IL asked question whose answer is be.
yond him, he is very apt to fall back upon
the maker of heaven and earth, often with
most amusing incongruity. A little girl
who wanted to 20 out and play one Sunday
recently was told she might sit on the
stoop but could not go to the street. She
trundled her little chair out accordingly,
but at the end of a few minutes trundled 1t
back again. There is nobody out there
but bod" she announced, "and tan't see
him, SO tummed in"
Another little girl, 8-year-old, who
couldn't play note, seated herself at the
plano to entertain caller waiting for her
mother. "Shall | play for you" she in
quired, with much affectation Of manner.
Would you like to hear waltzi"
YES" replied the visitor. VERY much.
What one can you playf"
well. !" was the answer, with compla-
cent toss OF the head, II can play two or
three, but my fayorite waltz Is the kingdom
Of heaven. New York Tunes

CLEAR AS MUD.



- In a general revision of
the law, however, this Government
can, without discrimination, assess
such duties on imports as may seem
advisable, and if such assessment,
being high, should cause a more
general recourse to goods of Amer
lean manufacture now free by duty,
or, if a more liberal construction OF
the reciprocity treaty should tend to
the same end, this Government is
following out its treaty obligations
and the importers of goods OF
American manufacture have no
reason to complain.

The Hawaiian Republic is now
three years old, and it was never
stronger than it is today. The
predictions that it would soon col
lapse have not been fulfilled. Il
was strong enough year ago to
put down one formidable rebellion
against it, and it has grown Sc
much stronger since that it has felt
it SAFE to pardon the men imprison-
ed for participation in that affair.

SPAIN WON'T KNUCKLE.
And That is What They Say in Their
DumbfOunded Journals.

LONDON, Feb. 70. The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon, referring to
the Cuban resolution of the United States
Senate, says.
SIT is dia:cult to think of Spain
knuckling down even to the United
States, especially at a time when she has
Just dehed American feeling by appoint
Ing a man with such q reputation Tor Sc
verify as General Weltyer to the captain
generalship OF Cuba. The probabilities of
the case point to President Clevelant
adopting a middle course and issuing
friendly warning to Spain, which will
serve to take the wind out of the jingoes'
sails and at he same time convince spain
that the United States has real interests
in Cuba and cannot refuse recognition Of
the rebels of the is and II amelioration
does not promptly occur. II President
Cleveland is inclined to go further, he
might press home rule on Spain, offer
ing, maybe, TO guarantee the promises
of the Cubans.
The Globe says:
"The Senates resolution is another gi-
gantic enlargement of the Monroe Doc
trine and should the House of Represen-
tatives endorse the Senate's resolution
and President Cleveland yield to press
ure Spain will be brought to face abject
submission or war with somewhat strong
er power. Should the proud, sensitive
Spanish nation prefer the latter sooner
than sacrifice its honor, international
sympathies will be on its side. 1t would
be quite profitless, of course, to remind
the Chauvenist Senators how keen was
American Indignation at the time of the
civil war at the idea of foreign nation
acceding beliigerent rights to the rebels. ("
Tho ST. James Gazette states:
"The jlngo eggs which the President
thought proper to hatch in a highly arti-
fetal incu bator in December, have poduc-
ed A brood which will give him aud the

deal of trouble as 1t grows to maturity. 1t

"The steam de eloped must be blown off

which fought stupendous war TO sup

ate's action goes very far indeed. The
sacred right OF any state TO maintain its
own unity and TO suppress Its own rebels
without foreign intervention was what
the North valiantly poured out its blood
and dollars for.
"But il seems that European govern
ments having subjects and territories in
the neghborhood of the American conti-
nent have no rights. The American
'retort that Lincoln's government is as
good as Christmas In Cuba is a bad
and dangerous argument which may carry

FINANCIAL NEWS
Yesterdays Reaction Brought
Out Old Timers Today.
Cuban Affairs Magnified In the Stock
Room Out Of All Reason.


NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-..The reaction ma
terially exceeded expectations. IT was
brought about very largely by Moore d
Schley, and 10 great extent represented
sales OF long stock. There has been for
couple of weeks enough realizing along
the upper level of values to defeat attempts
to bull the market. Repeated experiences
on this point led some large holders to
sell The Cuban resolutions were appar-
emily made the excuse for this selling.
Cuban Affairs were msgnified in the room
out of all reason. Nobody supposed that
nation which has not been able TO con-
quer the Island of Cuba could very ser1-
ously iujure the United States. Realiza-
ton of this fact had something to do
with the recovery in the last half hour.
Buying by Mr.. Cammack also had an IN
fiuence.
The supply OF stocks on the rally was
sufficient to leave opinion last night rath,
er bearish. Some very good judges SAID
the market was purchase ut the close
for two or three points rise.
There is no excitement attending the ac'
tion taken by the United States Senate on
Cuban matters, and 1t Is confidently
thought that there VIII be q sharp recov-
cry in Americans with the resumption OF
business next week.
j. 5. Bache d Company stated this
morning that on quick break OF or 2
points II would be safe to buy st. Paul
Northwest, c. B. q. and Rock Island, and
any of the Southern stocks. Flour Will
support Rock Island and the inside buy
ing of Pacific Mail will prevent any se-
rious break, they add.
The Cuban troubles should not he con-
sidered as an important bear factor in
Sugar, for the reason that the Hayemeyer' s
have ON hand over 800, COO tons of raw sng-
ars. The advance in the price of these will
be followed by similar gains as refined
will follow the pace.

on Tobacco as they have been.

BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
Stock TO the Amount of Twenty Millions
TO Be Issued.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 29.--When the
Erie Railway scheme OF reorganization
was given to the world some six months
ago, the general impression was that
both the New York, z. & o., and Chi
cago & Erie will be completely absorbed
by the new Erie. But at Columbus, yes
terday, here was e Incorporated the
Nypano Railroad Company with Charles
Il. White head, John Tod, r.. X. Perkins,
Alba Mark Tucker and John IL. Dynes as
incorporators with s15, 900, coo as its capi-
tai stock. There Will also be incorpora-
ted in Pennsylvania within day or two
q new Nypsno Railroad Company with a
capital stock of $4,000, 200. Then the
Ohio company and Pennsylvania COM
pany viii consolidate with a capital stock
OF go, 600, 600. which consolidated COM
pany will also be incorporated under the
laws OF Ohio and pay over 70 the State of
Ohio its one-tenth OF one per cent, or
500
This new consolidated Nypano Railroad
Company will then issue bonds to the
extent OF $4,000. 600. The stock and
bonds will be owned by the Erie Rail-
road Company and will represent the sun
posed value of the Erie securities which
The Erie is now glvirg & to the old Nypano
securities In exchange for their stocks
and bonds. The face value OF these Erie
securities Is about S55, ,000, COO, the new
Nypano stock Of 20.OO0 600, and bonds
for the same amount, will therefore con-
stitute a valuable asset Of the Erie COM
psny. The Nypano, as thus organized,
will be leased 10 the Erie and operated by
II the same as now The consolidation
OF the Erie and Nypano may be made
later.
