THE TROUBLE ON THE BARoooK.
Complaints. of the Men Not Verified
by investigators.


A BULLETIN representative in
terviewed Consul General Mills
today on the matter of the COM
plants of the seamen on the w.
+. Babcock concerning their ill
treatment by the mate. With his
usual affability to newspaper men
the Consul said that he had been
quietly investigating the matter
unknown to either officers or men.
He had come to the conclusion
there was nothing in the stories of
then, and he should be governed
in their treatment by his investi-
cations.
"The trouble on the Babcock is
just this, as far as l can learn"
said the Consul. Captain Ora
ham was peculiarly unlucky in
leaving San Francisco with half a
dozen other big ships and, instead
of being able to pick his
crew, having to take anything
the clearinghouse masters
would send on board. He has got
a pretty tough lot of men, with Of
course some exceptions. The
trouble with the men is that they
are all in debt to the ship. They
have received two months pay in
advance in San Francisco before
signing, besides drawing heavily
on the ship for supplies since.
Many of them don't like the
idea of working this out and
would like to desert here, work
their way back to San Francisco
and then work the same racket
over again with another ship.
These men are no good on any
ship and the only way to
get along with them is to
treat them with severity,
Captain Graham is unfortunate in
having a worse lot of men than is
usual even in deepwater ships
At present theae are nine desert
ers from the Babcock and L have
offered the usual reward of SIC
each for them"

One thing that has been in
strumental in keeping up the
price of goods in Honolulu is
the combinations among retail
dealers; legitimate enough in
it's way but it savors of a Trust
and the public does not like
Trusts.
AS the proprietor of the
largest hardware, crockery and
house-furnishing establishment
in the islands we begin bust
ness with the view to secur-
ing your patronage. We can
get it in one way only. Per-
sonal friendship is good thing
to possess but it cuts no ice in
business transaction; it's the
dollars that count. We are
going to get your trade on the
basis of dollars and cents.
Having bought our stock
direct from the manufacturers
and at a trife less than living
prices, we will sell them on the
same plan. To start right we
took the prices of our competi-
tors on the same line of goods,
and in most instances cut them
n two-some of them only a
quarter off, none the same, the
average is half off what other
dealers get you to pay for
them. We can do this and
make a good profit, good
enough to let you and ourselves
live and enjoy all the beauties
of this semi-tropical country.
It's hard for you to believe
that, but you will be convinced
of the fact if you will visit us
on the 18th. Then you will
see the goods with the prices
marked on them in plain
figures and those are the
prices you may buy them at,
not less, because we mark them
in the first instance at just the
price we can afford to sell
them at.
Remember the 18th.

OBSERVE THE BIRTHDAYs.-KeeI

OBSERVE THE BIRTHDAYs.-Keep
the birthdays religiously. They be-
long exclusively to, and are treas
ured among the memories of home.
Do not let anything prevent some tok-
en-, be it ever so slight, to show that
it is remembered. Birthdays are al
ways grand events to children. For
one day they feel that they are heroes.
The special pudding is made for them
a new jacket or trousers with pockets,
or the first pair of boots are donned;
and big brothers and sisters sink into
insignifcance beside "little Charlie"
who "is today" and is "soon going to
be a man." Fathers who have half a
dozen little ones to take care of are
very apt to neglect birthdays, they
come so often, sometimes when they
"are nervous" but if they only knew
how such souvenirs are cherished by
the children years after, they would
never permit any cause to step be-
tween them and parents privilege.
