Welded ON TIE AUSTRALIA.
Now n Lady Passenger Succeeded In
EHecting n handing.

There was q wedding on Che
Australia this morning for which
no cards were out. Among the
arrivals by that steamer on Mon
day was a colored lady who is
known to the Honolulu police as
Vina King, and regarded by them
us a very undesirable acquisition
to Honolulu society. Vina has
been here before and previously
to leaving spent quite a time as
the star boarder of Tailor Lows
hotel on the reef, whittier she was
sent for attempting to carve up a
male friend with Ratchet. After
serving out her time she left for
the Coast, but like a good many
other people has since found that
life away from Honolulu is not
worth the living.
Upon her arrival here on Mon
day she was refused landing by
Marshal Brown under the Dan
gerous Persons Act and was con-
sequently in a great pilikia. She
found one friend in her trouble,
however, in the person of Thomas
Dorrell, also a gentleman of color,
and between them they expect to
outwit the Marshal.
The first move in that direction
was to get married. Rev. Mr..
Waiamau was called in and this
morning he tied the nuptial knot
on board the steamer in the pre-
sence of Port Surveyor Sanders
and other wharf and steamer Off
Gals.
After ascertaining the fact of
the marriage Marshal Brown in
terposed no further objection to
Mrs. Dorrell's landing and she is
now enjoying her latest honey
moon.
The lady also had trouble in
San Francisco in getting on board
the steamer. Her record was
known at the office of Claus
Spreckels & Co., and she was re-
fused ticket, but upon represent
ing herself to be a native Hawai-
ian one was finally given her.

A proposition is mooted at
Washington to amalgamate the
Nicaragua and the Panama canal
companies. Another report is
that the Panama company is con-
sidering a new scheme, being a
waterway with six locks and a
summit level of ninety feet. For
this new loan of Sl00,000,O00
would be asked. The plan is
regarded as feasible, and obviating
the danger of floods which besets
q sea-level scheme. There is not
a word of encouragement respect
ing assistance to any inter-ocean
waterway from the present Con-
gress. Hawaii cannot stake any
money on an isthmian canal in the
present century.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Although the constitution pro
vides that the Appropriation bill
for salaries and pay rolls shall be
a permanent law, excepting as
changes may be legislated in il
from time to time, the Govern
ment has room to effect a
great reform in that respect.
Always at sessions of the
Legislature in former times
there has been lot of wrangling
over individual salaries. There is
unfortunately to be noted survi-
val of this evil in the first Legis.
lature of the Republic. Attempts
to raise or lower salaries are
fought to a finish, and the sus.
picion of the man up a tree is
naturally that, in large proper
ton of the cases, legislation is
being done for the man instead of
for the office. What is needed to
correct this many-sided evil is a
classified civil service with exami-
nations to be undergone by every
candidate for public office. This
would effectuate at once an
equitable apportionment of sa-
laries, the prevention of some
of the worst phases of
favoritism and nepotism, the i'm
provement Of the public service
in every branch and, probably, a
material degree Of economy. There
is reason to believe that when the
Government sets out to formulate
such n measure of reform, it will
be able, if it tries hard, to discov-
or means Of better systematising
the work in the executive depart
ments, SO that smaller stats will
be able to perform all of the pub
lie business without any impair
ment of efficiency.

The Guardianship
of a Watch--4zams,A

STRANGE that we should
be advertising our watch de-
partment so much, when al
ready every one in the islands
knows that WE ARE THE
PEOPLE for fine watch
work. But the point is Just
this: Our perfect work is so
appreciated, that we find our
present facilities are just lit
tie too small to handle the
large volume Of work with dis
patch; so we are going to en-
large the department, and
WANT YOUR WORK also.
See the point? Excellence
the top notch Of perfection
that's the magnet which draws,
and the only one we use. If
you could only realize how
much worry we can save you
by bringing your timepiece to
us in the fist place, you would
not hesitate an instant, when
things have gone wrong, but
bring your watch to us at once.
Complicated work is our spe-
cial delight. The watch has
not yet been made, which we
cannot handle in "a proper and
workmanllke manner. Today
we do all work which up to a
few years ago had to be sent
away; in some, cases even to
the factory where the watch
was made. No amount OF
Dragging on our part could be
as convincing to you, as the
great number Of watches, of a
complicated order, which have
been perfectly repaired by us
in the past few years aud OF
which the owners will tell you,
that they are PERFECTLY
DONE.

of this, No better way than

A church congregation down
in Sanders, KY, was dismissed
most Summarily under un-
pleasant circumstances two
Sundays since. Right in the
middle of the preachers dis
course there bolted into the
church through the half-open
door what appeared to be a
black and white cat, closely
followed by a yellow dog. Cat
and dog ran swiftly down the
middle aisle to the platform.
The preacher taken unawares,
did the natural thing, kicked
at the cat, hit it, and landed it
squarely in the middle of the
congregation. Then it turned
out that the cat was a skunk.
The rest of the story is left to
the imagination of the reader.
This week we want to call
your attention especially to the
ALASKA REFRIGERATOR and
give you a few items concern
ing its construction.
To give strength and dura-
biIity, an inside body, or frame
is made of we'll dried, matched
wood, to which hardwood
cleats are solidly nailed. Upon
these cleats the outer body, or
frame, is built.
The inner frame is made
from perfectly odorless wood,
and is lined with zinc. Po-
lished as bright as a mirror,
presenting a very clean and at
tractive appearance.
All exposed wood, as under
the lids and about the doors,
is odorleSs tulip poplar,
thoroughly shellaced. This
makes the Refrigerator clean
and sweet.
Between the outer and inner
walls there is an inch and a
half space filled with PURE
CHARCOAL. There is nothing
so good in every way for fill
ling the space between the
two walls of a Refrigerator as
Pure Charcoal.
The locks are entirely new
in principle, and are, without
exception, the best ever used
on a Refrigerator. They will
keep the door closed perfectly
tight, even if they were left
one-eighth inch loose.
The hinges are very strong,
beautiful in design, and made
expressly for The ALASKA
REFRIGERATOR.
All the trimmings are solid
brass, dipped finish, this being
the latest style in fine brass
goods.
From the results of tests
made during the past three
years, we are convinced that
the ALASKA is the best Re-
frigerator in the market, in
construction. in power to pre-
serve perishables, in economy
of ice, and, in fact, in all the
points necessary to make them
tlrSt-claSS in every respect.

BOYS.

What would the world d.
without boys? Yon may talk
abont their hands and faces
and make fun ofthem allyOu
please, but they don't care.
Just to come down to t b e
long and the short Of it |
think It. wonld be hard to
give them up. for it is "run
boys" from morning until
night. In fact they have to
do everything the old people
don't want to do.
liza boy gets up in the NOR
ming ana washes his hands
and face clean, in two hours
they will bo as dirty as they
can be for IL boy can't keep
his hands out Of the dirt. II
he did he would not be 4 nat
ural boy, there would certain
ly be- something the matter
with him. il there wasn't his
hands would be as dirty as
mnd balls. Their finger nails
get terribly long sometin es
hut they can't help that for
they havn't got time to cut
them, they are so busy With
goats, dogs. etc.
Another place where a boy
hasa hard time is ar school.
If he did not have to stay in
so long ii would not he so
bad, but he has to stay in so
long that when he gets out
he don't get to play any. But
then SO much depends on the
dirty boy in the future. He
has 70 begin now to prepare
for President, Governor, or
the penitentlary (?) and ifhe
did not go to school a n d
study he would not get to
fill any OF the Offices (?)
When he gets grown he
can't say it wasn't my fault,
but it is his fault. Every boy
has an opportunity to go to
school. Ii he is too poor to
,,ny there are free schools all
over the country and if he
don't go, the blame will have
to fall on himself. A boy can
study better when he il
young than when he gets old
er. He is afraid t, go 10 r
fear he will be laughed at. So
he goes through life an igno.
rant man.
Kind reader, did you ever
think of the possibilities and
probabilities that lie in the
reach of a little boy?

that presently some body
