AN IRON BOOM COMING.


Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 2.-LOcal iron
masters say that the demand by foreign
buyers for Alabama pig iron is unprc-
cedented. The Tennessee Iron, Coal and
r. r. Company yesterday shipped $500
tons to Liverpool, and has inquiries for
prices on an aggregate Of 10000 tons
from Rotterdam, Genoa, and other Euro
pean points The Sloss Iron and Steel
Company to-day booked an order for
5000 tons from Calcutta, India, and
the same buyer wants quotations Of
5000 tons more. The ability Of the
Alabama furnaces to make a high grade
iron and sell it cheaper than European
producers, local furnace men say ac-
counts for the phenomenal growth in
the Alabama export iron trade. The
only difficulty encountered is the lack of
boat room because of the rush in cotton
and grain shipments abroad. Iron mas
ters believe that when this subsidies the
foreign iron trade will assume the pro-
portions Of a boom.

Plate Glass Company, in the country,
resumed operations in full to-day, after
a long idleness. Each factory employs
hundreds OF hands, and the indications
are for a comparatively steady run.
Col. Al Conger,of Akron, Ohio, one OF
the directors said that the actual busi-
ness on hand was not the cause Of the
resumption so much as the condition
of the market and the prospective de-
mand.

FURRY IN NEWSPAPERS.
Selling Foreign Goods Without a
License.
Wall Nichols Newsboys Arrested-Vio-
IatIng Laws Against Peddlers.
TO be Tried Today.

There was a free feast of San Fran
cisco daily papers Saturday that caused
surprise, amusement and CONSERVATION
among a lot of people around the
streets.
The WaII-NichoIs Co. are agents for
the San Francisco Examiner, and be-
sides taking subscriptions for the pa
per put it in the hands of newsboys to
sell on the streets after the arrival OF
the Coast steamers. On Saturday
while the sidewalk in front of the store
was crowded with boys waiting the ar
rival of the papers, Marshal Brown
called on Mr.. Nichols and notified him
that the boys were violating the law in
selling goods. of foreign manufacture
without taking out the required license.
Mr.. Nichols inquired who had made
the complaint, and was informed that
the Hawaiian News Co. had done so.
He then resolved to test the legality OF
the order, and when the papers arrived
he supplied a half-dozen of the boys
with them. They had not gone far
when policemen arrested three of them
and took them to the station house.
The company was notified, and Mr..
Nichols entered bail for their release.
That the public might be supplied
with the foreign journals, the Wall
Nichols Co. stamped all of their stock
not subscribed for compliments of
the WalI-Nichols Co.," and distributed
them free.
The boys will have hearing in the
District Court this morning.

DEATH OF REV. E. \. PRES.
His Daughter Teaching Here-An
Ardent Worker.

Tidings came by the S. S. Monowai
Of the death of Rev. E. y. Pires OF
Jacksonville, H., father of Miss Laura
Pires, teacher of the Portuguese kin
dergarten. Rev. Mr.. Pires will be re-
mem ered by many here. who made his
acquaintance at the time of the inaugu-
ration of the Portuguese Mission-Octo-
Der, 1890.
He showed himself then a preacher
of solid worth, sound in the faith of the
Gospel, tactful in the presentation of
Scripture truth, faithful and earnest in
his efforts to bring to his countrymen
the glad tidings of Divine Redeemer,
and to guide them lovingly and directly
to the Saviour. His brief stay at the
islands was the accession of wide inter
est in Evangelical Christianity.
He returned to his church in Jack
sonville much invigorated by his brief
mission, and has always kept up a
deep interest in the progress of the
work at Honolulu and Hilo.
His church recently sent $50 as a con-
street, for which Architect Ripley is
now preparing a plan. The immediate
cause of his death was pneumonia, re-
sulting in heart failure. The Sunday
School, at their session yesterday after
noon, voted the accompanying resolu-
tons:
Intelligence having come to US Of the
death, on the Sd inst, of the Rev. Mr..
Pires, of Jacksonville, ILL.,, the Portu
guese Mission and Sabbath School Of
Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, desire to
make the following minute on their Of
fetal records:
We would express, first, our recogni-
ton of the fact that Mr.. Pires was one
of the founders of our Mission; second,
our appreciation of his continued and
ever-increasing interest in our welfare,
even to the time of his death; third,
our sorrow for the death of a helpful
friend; fourth, our sympathy to his
church and society, and especially to
his widow and children for the irrepar-
able loss they have sustained.
In making our heartfelt acknOWl-
edgments as above we would also say,
BLESSED are the dead who die in the
Lord" and Blessed are they that
mourn, for they shall be comforted."

The Value
OF Good
Eye Sight.

Some things are rightin my
line, and the optical business
lis one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each individual case. Eyes
are tested in a scientific
manner.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimated in such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
objects well, yet are con-
SANITY troubled with per-
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oc-
caSional blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects, is by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight.
and requires the same treat
ment.
Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be of the
right kind.
1t is ourbuSinesS to supply
you with only these.

Not To Be Trihed With.

Will people never learn that cold

when it occurs treatment should be
promptly applied? There is no know

while complete recovery is the rule,
the exceptions are terribly frequent,
and thousands upon thousands OF fatal
illnesses occur every year ushered in
by a little iDjudicious exposure and
seemingly trifling symptoms. Be, ond
this, there are today countless inva'
lids who can trace their complaints to
"colds," which at the time of occur

Fast Run to Sydney.

News has been received at the
Merchants Exchange, San Fran
cisco, that the Hawaiian ship John
Ena had arrived at Sydney with a
cargo of wheat from San Francisco.
The vessel was only fifty-six days
out. and her fast time calls to
memory the performances of the
British ships Port Jackson and the
Queen Island. The latter vessel is
now in port under the name of the
Strathdon, and only a few years
ago came near sinking the steamer
Queen to the bottom. The Port
Jackson made the passage in
thirty-nine days and the Strathdon
made it in forty-one days.
