By the Albert which arrived
a few days ago we received 1913
Quincy Cleanable Refrigerators,
ranging in size from the small
household ice box to that used
in grocery store, 1t was a
large invoice-not consigned,
but bought outright. These re-
frigerators and ice boxes have
nine points of excellence, to wit:
Cleanliness, free circulation;
economy in the use of ice; con-
densation and dry air; low aver
age 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. These
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 leas-
ing these refrigerators on the
following 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
percent on the amount unpaid.
If a customer wants to buy out
right for cash, he gets five per-
cent discount on the entire
amount.
The Quincy cleanable can be
had only Of us.

A Wall Fails.

A short while ago a wall OF corral
was erected at the foot OF Liliha
street adjoining the premises belong
ing TO Mr.. w. G. Achi on which
two story building is being erected
by Mr. Wickander.
The wall which was intend to pro
tect the street and the Achi prem
ises is 10 feet high and II feet wide.
1t was evidently not put up very
solid aud Wickander who doubted
its solidity had number Of posts
placed as an inner wall to protect
his building. And he was wise in
doing so because during the heavy
rain last night the pre- ssure on the
wall became too heavy aud large
portion Of it fell down fortunately
without doing aoy damage to the
new building. This is evidently an
other instance Of the false economy
in using cheap and unskilled labor.

The Regimental Benefit.

A large audience gathered at the
drill shed Saturday evening to see
the second last performance of the
talented dancer, Elsie Adair, and
her company.
Miss Adair gave the performance
as compliment to the First Regi-
ment, which received a handsome
addition to the stage fund.
The audience thoroughly enjoyed
the show and many OF the numbers
wero encored. The Quintette Club
gave some very fine singing Miss
Adair, as usual, was the main attrac-
ton of the evening, and she receiv-
ed an ovation when she appeared in
her graceful draperies and danced
her wonderful repertoire.
Tonight Miss Adair has been
rendered benefit, and we hope
that the weather will brighten up
and that everyone who has not seen
her yet will turn out and greet the
graceful dancer. This is positively
the last performance as the COM
pany is booked TO leave for Japan
by the Coptic due here on Wednes-
day. Reserved seats for Miss Adair's
benefit can be obtained at Wall,

Honolulu ia not without its quota
of "young hope'uls," and il the
rising generation 'loes not make its
mark in the world i, will be because
Of tremendous odds against it. One
or two examples OF bright and anus
ing sayings Of Honolulu children
recently came under the notice of
the writer.
AT the Methodist Sunday school
few weeks ago, the 18th chapter
OF st. Luke, from the 9TH to the 10Th
verse, was selected for study and
discussion. In this chapter is given
the account of the ten lepers who
appealed to Christ and were healed.
In reviewing the lesson OF the day
Superintendent Ripley asked the
children's class, "where the ten
lepers were," when youth OF some
six or seven summers promptly re-
piled, On Molokai."
A few evenings since fond mo-
ther was going through the usual
formalities preparatory to putting
two bright and precocious children
in their "littlo cots" for the night,
when hor promising four-year-old
began: "Mama, has angels dot
wings7" "Why, yesl my child"
"Aud do they tum here when we doe
to sleep at night?' eyes, deary;
why?" swell, why don't you sit up,
mamma, and latch them, and cut
their wings so as we can have them
to play withp CO." said the young.
er hopeful, "I don't believe angels
dot wings" "Why9" said the mother,
becoming more interested. "Taus
l never see no feathers on the floor
when l dit up in the mornings"
