1t is warm day, atmospherically,

temporarily assumed control of the

forbade the entrance to the Chief
Justice, the Judges, the Ministers OF
the Kingdom and their clerical as

factor in this contest, and England
throughly appreciates this fact. In
her schemes OF consolidation and
Capitalization she is again prepar-
ing to face the world in arms, aud
is sacrificing possibly useless out
posts for more advantageous
grounds. The control of Egypt is
worth more than the Channel Is

take place when Constantinople

DR. McLennan Honored.

On Tuesday evening, the members
OF Court Canoes, Ancient Order Of
Foresters, bid farewell and God
speed to DR.. Donald McLennan o
charter member OF the lodge for
which he has acted as physician in
most satisfactory manner.
The doctor will shortly leave for
Rarotonga where he will make his
home and the Foresters desired to
show their appreciation OF his SER
vices, both as a physician and
brother, before the genial doctor
embarks for the South Sea. The
hall of the lodge was beautifully
decorated with greens and flags and
after the arrival of the guest of
honor, Mr.. j. Collaco, on behalf of a
committee appointed for the pur-
pose presented the doctor with a
handsome cane of kou wood headed
with a gold mounted boar's tusk.
The cane bears the following in
scription: presented to DR.. D.
McLennan by members of Canoes
Lodge, No. S110, A. o. F., Honolulu,
July 2Stb, 1896"
In presenting the cane Mr.. Collaco
made the following address,
To DIR. DONALD MoLENNAN,
Dear Sir and Brother:-We, mem
bers of Court Canoes, take this
opportunity to express our deep
regret at your early departure from
Honolulu, and at the same time we
wish to convey to you our heartiest
good wishes for your future happi-
ness and prosperity in your new
home. In doing SO wa would like to
assure you that it is not only as a
member of the Court that you will
be missed by us, but as friend also.
BY your unfailing kindness and
geniality you have won the hearts
OF all of us. AS member and
physician Of this Court, you have
been untiring and attentive; as
friend, always kind and charitable.
1t is our wish to present you with
memento and we hope you will ac-
cept this gold-headed cane OF local
workmanship, as souvenir of our
friendship and brotherhood. In
bidding you farewell we would join
the names OF Mrs. McLennan and
the other members OF your family in
this Godspeed. Respectfully ours
in u, B, and @.

evening joined the brethren in a

1t is refreshing to see the Adver-
tiser praising the people of New
York for sending corrupt politicians
to Jail. "There are plenty more at
large who need the same treatment
McKane has received" says the vir-

by the way, would the Advertisers
friends in Honolulu have been, if,
during the Legislature of 1892, the
Hawaiian authorities had followed
the praiseworthy example of New
York; Oahu Jail would have more
distinguished guests and several
pews in the Central Union Church
would be vacant. The Advertiser
should avoid slippery topics in it's
editorial columns.

Horrible Accident.

Whilst the fourth heat OF the half

at Grimsby Cyclists Club Sports,
one OF the riders fell and brought
down 3 Others, including Mat. Brown
the local champion. The latter was

fractured, death being almost in
stantaneous. The terrible tragedy
created widespread sorrow, and the
sports were at once stopped.

Mr.. Lum Wing Yin has sent a
petition endorsed by a number Of
prominent Chinese merchants to the
president of the Board of Education
asking permission to open school
for instruction in the Chinese Ian
guage. The secretary OF the Board
has been instructed to inform Mr..
Lum that he will not be allowed to
open such school unless the in
struction is confined to childre n
within the school age. The public
is somewhat puzzled over this re-
markabIe decision of Minister
Cooper. II the schools which teach
English to Asiatics we're closed the
Minister would deserve the credit
and such an action would justly be
commended by all who have the
future of Hawaii at heart. To for
hid Chinaman to teach the Chi
nese language to his countrymen
seems arbitrary, absurd and unjust
to the ordinary man. We hope the
Minister will see fit to explain.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, July 22, 1896.

w men Jlle WOnueTlul NeW TO-
cess Blue Flame Oil Stove was
introduced to your notice by us,
we scarcely anticipated the sue
cess that has followed it's intro
duction.
We felt assured, most un-
doubtedly, that the public trials
by ladies of repute, had attract
ed the attention of economical
housewives and the friends of
pure and perfect cooking through
an odorless burner, with maxi
mum of heat and q minimum
of danger.
We did not expect, however,
that our stock would have been
sold out so soon in the view of
the competition Of business
rivals, but that is the fact.
But merit speaks for itself,
and people must have clean food,
irrespective of religious and
political debates. Fortunately
for you-to us it is almost a
matter of indifference-our prin-
cipals have sent us just what
you want.
We can now offer you just
what you require, No. 106 with
the oven arrangement for $25;
or there is No. 105, including
the oven for $22.50. These are
perfect stoves. There is ten
pounds difference in the weight,
the one being 140 lbs, and the
other 130lbs., but for the"cooking
made easy" there is very little
choice between them except in
details Of neatness, convenience
aud establishment.
1t is well to remember that
there are three desiderata in
these stoves, pure blue odorless
flame, perfect safety and the use
of the ordinary kerosene oil.
We can add to these the clean
illness of the stove and the small
amount of labor required to
keep it in perfect order.
There are two little incidents
attached to these stoves that
will attract the attention of
domestic cooks, and one is the
"New Process" toaster. Even if
you don't posses one of our stoves
it will be found extremely useful
to toast or broil. The other is
the "New Process" Ventilated
broiler, which retains all the
juices in the meat and will
change tough steak or outlet
into a tender one without the
hatchet or the rolling pin.
Call and examine these things
for yourself. Perhaps, we have
other matters that we can whis-
per to you about.
