GOOD FOR THE ADVER-
TISER.

Nothing has pleased the BULLE.
TIN so much in long time as the
able protest it gives this morning
against any extension of the
speculative cable franchise. 1t is
truly refreshing in opposition
to the insane jabberiugs
Of the miserable, time. serving,
webbing, servile Hawaiian Star.
With the assistance of the Adver-
tiser the campaign the BULLETIN
has entered upon, for circumvent-
ing the Vaccinations OF the un-
principled cable ring, will not be
handicapped by the vile argu-
meut that hes 50 often damp
ell the effect Of honest criti-
cism that it ocmes from "malcon-
t.nts,' "royaliets" and 'robels. -
Mr., Spalding deserves not the
slightest advantage in cable or
any other matter pertaining to the
welfare of this country. He has
made his thousands, if not mil
lions, here, but he spends his
wealth in foreign lands. He has
erected no monument of gratitude
for the mild laws and the bene.
ficent climate and soil of the
cpun r III It have made him rich.
Mr.. Spalding is the replica
OF an Irish absentee land
lord. Nevertheless, if MIR.
Spalding were prepared to give
US cable, or had any intention
to do SO, or could prove that he was
trying to give us a cable instead
of making little fortune out of a
cable franchise, the bull
LErIN if it had all the
votes of the Executive and the
Legislative branches of our gov
eminent in its pocket, would cast
them all for Mr.. Spalding's de-
sired extension of the cable fran.
chise. Mr.. Spalding, however,
has yet to give scintilla of evil
d"nce Of good faith in the
matter.

ABANDONED AT SEA.
Heroic Rescue "f Captain and Grew

by u Steamships Omccrs.
The American ship Patrician
G. Il. Sterling master, foundered
at sea recently. The captain
was the owner and a through
passenger with his wife for
home by the Alameda. In
conversation with BULLETIN
reporter on the deck of the Ala
media this morning Captain Ster-
ling gave the following particulars
of the disaster. AS the second
whistle had sounded, there was
not much time for details.
The ship Patrician was bound
from Newcastle for Lyttleton,
New Zealand, with coal, when,
in latitude 1918 s. and longitude
1911 E. the ship encountered a
terrific easterly gale, the fourth
day out, with heavy seas. Much
of the upper works of the vessel
were carried away, and she be-
coming unmanageable 1T was de-
cided to abandon her.

away and the ship was founder.
ing, the steamer Fifeshire of the
Shire line came on the scene.
Captain Wilson and officers of
the Fifeshire lowered away their
boats, and, as Captain Ster-
ling puts it, made one of
the most heroic rescues on record,
Captain and crew were all taken
on board the Fifeshire and landed
safely at the Bluff, New Tea
land.
Captain Sterling said there
was no insurance on the cargo
but he was uncertain as to what
insurance if any was on his
ill.fated ship the Patrician. He
wanted no language spared in
this report to the honor of Captain
Wilson and his officers, for their
gallant rescue of himself and
ships company in the midst of
seas running mountains,

Much of the solid silver
ware used in Honolulu is
bought in San Francisco by
people visiting there because
it is cheap.
Twenty-Five per cent duty
is great deal too much to
pay and it tewpts people to
make purchases while they are
where they may buy it
cheaper. There is nothing
criminal in the transaction,
just a bit of practical econ
omy. There would have been
no necessity for these buyers
to go abroad, if dealers were
willing to divide with their
customers. The profit is large
enough on solid ware to cut
off the twenty-five per cent.
and sell it at a margin salts
factory to every one. People
do not buy when they are
abroad because they can get
better goods, but because they
can get cheaper.
The selections made by US
are from three of the largest
factories in the States. We
buy for cash and get the ar
ticles cheap and will sell them
at twenty-five per cent. or
exactly the same as is charged
in San Francisco. We have
childs sets at $6.75 and full
tea sets for great deal more;
the quality has never been
surpassed in this country and
the prices have never been
equalied.

THE COSMIC DISPLAY.

Referring to an article on the
first page on the recurrence of the
cosmic shower, which makes a
periodical appearance every third
of a century, premonitory symp-
toms of which may be seen to-
morrow night if we are favored
with a clear sky, it may
be said that everything con-
tanned in the article is con-
firmed by Mr.. Frank Brown,
probably one of the best informed
gentlemen in the islands on such
matters. Mr.. Brown has been
making a special study of me-
teoric displays in view of the
one now SO near at hand, and
has become imbued with the
theory, and most probably cor
rectly so, that the approaching
display and accompanying come
tary influences are solely accoun-
table for the peculiar atmospheric
conditions which have resulted in
the unusually oppressive weather
of the past six weeks.

respected citizen Of Honolulu
who has a fondneSS for rice
pudding. He has INDUCED
this fondneSS to such an in
ordinate degree that he has for
years INDUCED in cold rice
pudding upon his return home
from his lodge. When he was
going to be out more than
usually late he would tell his
good wife and the cold pud-
ding was always left on the
Sideboard for him. The other
night he was kept out later
than usual at a Masonic ban
quet, but on returning home,
in the dim light left burning
low, he Spied his favorite dish
and ate the contents. The
next morning his wife missed
seven lace collars she had left
in the starch over night, and
she is now threatening to sue
for limited divorce, not be-
cause OF the loss of her collars
but because her husband says
that they tasted just like her
best buildings. However, the
husband has made his peace
with his better half and there
will be no divorce, unlesss it
happens again.
The way he did it was to
60 to the Hawaiian Hardware
Company's store and order
one of their recently imported
ENAMELED IRON PORTABLE
BATH TUBS sent home. His
good wife was so pleased that
she forgave him on the spot.
These bath tubs must be seen
to be appreciated. They are
the handSomest yet put on the
market and they are not very
expensive. Being raised from
the floor on legs like a stove
no moisture can accumulate
underneath to attract cock
reaches and beetles. These
tubs are provided with hand
some nickel-plated fittings.
To 60 with them we have
imported specially some nickel
plated double bath cocks for
hot and cold water with COM
bination soap trays. The
beauty of this novelty is that
the hot and cold water runs
out of the same faucet, either
separately or together, and
there is no danger of ScaIding
your toes as so often happens
in turning on the hot water
separately.
