Interest never flags when
the goods and prices are right.
In May we passed all records
in merchandising Helping
more people to goods at less
expense than ever-that's the
secret ! Great movements in
merchandise reduce expenses
in all directions, freights on
carload lots are less than by
the piece, buying at the fac
tory means a big saving to us.
And you are the gamers.
The Success Filter, as sold
by us means good health to
you and money in your purse.
The money comes in this way:
We bought at the factory a
carload of the goods; every
thing was cheaper and we can
sell you a six-gallon filter for
$3.50.
The filter stone in Success
Filter is made of tripoli stone,
mined in Georgia, U. S. A.
1t is fitted in the upper cham
Der of the filter and water
passes through it, all impuri-
ties in the water remaining on
the outside. 1t may be clean
ed in moment and will last
for years as it is six inches in
thickness, instead of one as in
ordinary stone filters.
The quality is the best and
$3.50 for a six gallon filter is
lower than you ever paid
before.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and l take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers

The Legislature has used one hun
dred working days. The Congress at
Washington would require two hun
dred to dispose of the same amount of
business and an ordinary state Legis-
lature anywhere from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred. The old
reliable Advisory Council of the Pro-
visional Government would have man
aged everything in fine style in about
three weeks. These are The Stars
figures, but The Star has watched all
the bodies mentioned pretty closely.

TWO MEETINGS WITH NILES.
One In Pasadena, CAL, aad the Other 4,
LOs Angeles.

One In Pasadena, CAL, sad the Other In
LOG Angeles.
Zone night in the ofiice of the Hotel
Raymond in Pasadena, Cal," said a
traveller, 81 met General Nelson A.
Miles. I was introduced to him by Ma
jor Ben @. Truman. The Office was a
big apartment with great fireplace on
one side of it. There were large rocking
chairs scattered about for the comfort of
was room to which ladies did not hes
itate to come if they had occasion to
visit it,
"On this night there was fire in the
great fireplace, perhaps as much for
cheerfulness' sake as anything else, and
the big room was decidedly pleasant
place. General Miles, Major Truman
and myself sat there until / o'clock.
The general talked freely and most in
terestingly. and to me it was a most
enjoyable evening. / had always had
the heartiest admiration for General
Miles-I had been a soldier myself
and thought should always remem-
Der that evening with qualification.
1.-THE next morning, while going out
of the Hotel Nadeau i'll Los Angeles, I
met gentleman who said Good morn
ing l stopped and talked, but could
not possibly recall him. Presently he
said:
You don't remember me-
81 said / did not.
My name is Miles, he said.
"Well, wished that the Hotel Ma
deau had been getting in coal and that
there had been convenient coal hole
open for me to slide into, but there
wasn't, and did the best could under
the circumstances, which l guess was
poor enough, but the general was per-
fectly good humored about it, for which
was profoundly thankful.
"Seeing the general in a different
light, or amid totally different surround
ings and when had least expected to
meet him, coupled perhaps with some
degree Of natural absentmindness ON my
part had brought this discontinue upon
me- and chagrin over this second en-
counter with General Miles has always
materially lessened my enjoyment OF

The announcement will be received
with regret that one of the leaders in
promotion of a cable for Hawaii is
retired from active life. Sir John
Fender is paralyzed and speechless
and has resigned his seat in Parlia-
ment. This circumstance may have
an immediate and important effect in
the Cable matter. a charge made by
the New York syndicate that came in
to the field after Col. Spalding APP
peared with his Hawaiian charter was
that the colonel and his associates
were working very largely in the in
terest of Sir John Pender. The point
was that the member of Parliament,
being heavily attached to cable enter
prises i'm the far east would never per-
NIT the Spalding line to extend be-
yond Honolulu. This was strenuously
denied and was probably not the fact
at all, for the very apparent reason
dat more lines make more business.
Had Sir John been connected with
the Spalding scheme commercial acu-
men would have prevented any such
policy as the New York company de-
clared had been adopted. At any
rate, while the disappearance of the
enterprising cable promoter from the
business is sad and deplorable, it is to
the advantage of the company that all
are certain is able and willing to give

WHEELMEN AND THE ROADS.

The League of American Wheel
men is taking up the subject of bet
ter roads on a grand scale. 1t is rep
resented that the people of the United
States are paying per cent on $780,
000,000,000 in order to keep up the
present bad roads. while it would not
cost them one-siXth of that sum an
nually to build the roads now needed
in order to put the country on an
equality with France. If road bonds,
were issued, bearing per cent inter-
est, more than 100000 miles of ma
cadamized roads could be built in one
year without increasing the annual en-
pense one dollar.
Another way they have of figuring
a saving is by computing the annual
cost of food for horses, mules, etc. in
the United States at about 81 .576, 0OO.-
900, and if there were macadamized
roads one horse could haul as much as
three horses, and if only one-half the
number could be dispensed with
through good roads, there would be
an annual saving in the feed bill of
$7SS, 100000. 1t is estimated that the
cost of a good road is $4,000 mile.
In New York state, where there are
100000 wheelmen, it is proposed that
the highway commissioners set aside
and improve narrow pathway, and
that they be required to do so in all
cases where funds are contributed or
supplied for that purpose.

There is something more than talk
in the utterances of confidence in the
future of Hilo. That place is the sec
ond city of the country. 1t is the
largest place on the largest island and
is backed by water power and tribu-
tary coffee groves and sugar planta-
tions. Sugar is established and there
can no longer be question about Olaa
or Puma coffee any more than there is
about Kona coffee. Hilo is growing
rapidly and is especially happy and
fortunate in attracting very superior
class of immigrants and capitalists.

LARAWAY HASN'T GONE YET.
Fight OF tho Democratic Politicians
Against Him Intellectual

Washington City, April 6.-Special-The
postoffice department has as yet made no
change In the postmastership at Centralia,
Wash. despite the earnest efforts to Sc
cure the removal of John T. Laraway,
which were made by George Hazard
when he was here In the early part of
February last, and which have continued
from that time to this. Hazard tried to
make 1t appear that he had the backing
in this fight of Charles ]. Faulkner. chair
man OF the Democratic congressional COM
mittee but 1t is plain that all the sup
port he got from Mr.. Faulkner was an ap-
plication 10. the appointment Of a friend
who now resides in the state OF WASH
ington in case there should be a vacancy.
The reopening Of the accounts of Mr..
Laraway for the year 1894 coming just
as 1t did. at the time OF Hazards hasty
trip to this city, which was ostensibly to
consult with the Democratic leaders here
as to the advisabiity of bringing about
fusion between the Democrats and Popu-
lists in the state of Washington in the
coming campaign caused considerable sur
prise in Centralia. Mr.. Laraway had no
end of friends. both Democrats and Re-
publicans, who came at once TO his rescue.
The implied charges against Postmaster
Baraway which were given to the POSE
Intelligencer Just after Hazards visit
here, were that the alleged burglary OF the
office at Centralia. December 10. 1884. as a
result OF which Mr.. Laraway obtained
credit from the department of sS55.T, was
not altogether straight. and that there
