IMPROVED ALPHA" DELAvAL
CREAM SEPARATOR.

DR.. Gustav DeLaval, he in
v.ntor of the DeLaval Separ-
a Tor, is one of the most practi
cal inventors Of this centur,
and has been fifty termed the
edison OF Dairying' Within
the last few years the DcLaval
Separator has revolufioned che
M thods Of dairy ing.
1t has alone brought abou,
the broad development and
universally demonstrated the
superiority Of the new system
over the old methods.
The general elements Of COZ
sheraton i'll the use Of .
separator is: First; that the
separation should be complete,
which is naturally the primary
81 ject of a machine, and thu
S cond and most important one
IS that it aocomplishes the
separation in the most practical
and economical manner. This
might be done with an ordinary
bucket if a speed of $500 OF
10000 revolutions per minute
could be obtained, with the
requisite machinery, which OF
course is impossible.
1t has been solved in the
construction Of the DeLaval
Separator, which are "guaran-
teed to be as repre- sented and
70 fill all the claims made for
them, and are sold subject to
the guarantee of the unquali-
fed superiority in every mater
ial respect to all other machines
and systems Comparative
tests in demonstration of such
fact, with and all other separa-
tors and Dreaming systems, are
most earnestly invited and de
sired at all times.

The enlargement or extension OF
Eva plantation, the enlargement of
Waialu and Kahuku, the new life of
Waimanalo and Heeia and the estab-
lishment of the great Oahu plantation,
which is now assured, will give diff
ferent aspect to the industry. These
additions to the output of this island,
all to be consummated within two
years, will place her in the independ-
ent position of being able to lose so
much of the traffic of Maui and Ha-
waii as can possibly be diverted direct
to the coast and then retain a volume
of business equal to the present. But
the big increase on Oahu will force so
much more buying and importation,
that Honolulu can Guido offers of di-
rect shipment from San Francisco 20
Maui and Hawaii. The additional
work in this manner given the inter
island steamers will enable their com
panies to meet any arrangement for
handling sugar from any port but this.
1T all resolves itself down to the GER
tainty that the commercial supremacy
of Honolulu is assured But for the
maintenance of the certainty there
must be no sleeping.

Enough is known in London of the
truth about the situation in Hawaii
to have the securities of the Islands
hold their own. The quotation given
today was posted after it was known
at the great financial center that re-
funding was certainty. The traduc-
ers of the Republic may succeed in
fooling or tricking or enlisting snide
but they can not do the same with the
cool, calculating, eagle-eyed men who
handle money and are sans sentiment.

HOW WILD BILL WAS KILLED.
Tie Story of the Desperauo's Murder In
Deadwood Saloon.

TIE Story OF the Desperauo's Murder In
Deadwood Saloon.
Mr. Adler has known all the pioneers o.
the west and was a friend of that pictur
esque figure in western history, Wild Bill
He was within half dozen PAGES of Bill
when Jack McCaull shot him in the back
Of the head in Deadwood saloon. He tells
the story more infinitely than it has ever
been told in print.
To paraphrase the quaint wording of the
old pioneer, the killing fell about in this
way: Bill ard McCaull occupied the same
cabin together at Deadwood in 1876. Bill
came into camp with notoriety he had
been acquiring in all the border towns. He
was gambler by profession and a des"cr.
ado by nature. He was the surcst shot
with a pistol in the west. He had been
marshal of Hays City in it's palmy days of
lawlessness and was afterward marshal Of
Abilene when that little city had almost as
hard name. He had killed so many men
that he had lost the count. So when he
rode into Deadwood, with his long yellow
hair pouring down on his shoulders, his
sombrero cooked sideways on his head and
with the ivory handled pistols in their hol-
sters swinging at either side, people were
naturally very respectful.
But Bill was a man to be feared rather
than respected. He was an inveterate card
player and cheated and robbed at the tables
with the pleasantest grace imaginable. He
and McCaull became chums and patched
together in cabin. McCaull had just as
bad character as Bill but he had never
the opportunities to prove it, and if he had
he would probably have been dead before
Deadwood came into existence. At any
rate, he and Bill used 20 play brace against
every one they could get to put his legs un.
der the table with them. While this proc.
ess of fleeing was going on Bill and his
partner pretended to he perfect strangers to
each other.
One day they were at their usual tricks
with greenhorn in "a canvas saloon ON tho
main street. McCaull broke out and quit
the game. Directly he came up to Bill and
said, Say, Bill, gimme a quarter to buy Il
drink" Bill looked up at him as if he had
never seen him before. Don't know you"
he said. II guess you're good at the bar"
McCaull went to the bar and asked for a
drink, but the barkeeper, thinking he was
joking, wouldn't let him have it.
Then McCaull sulked about the stove for
little. Finally he went to Bill again and
said
Gimme 80 cents, Bill; want to get :,
meal" And Bill, still carrying out his rola
of stranger, said, with pretended heat, Go
to hi for your meal"
McCaull's face flushed. He was not willy
enough to see what Bill was driving at
He went straight out of the saloon down to
his cabin and got u six shooter. When he
came back, he had it cooked in his coat
pocket with his hand upon it. He walked

Their shown at the grand ball to be
given on the 3rd, and is thus easily
accounted for, as three-fourths of the
costumes worn on that auspic-
GUS occasion were bought at L. b.
Kerr's, where it would be impossible
to buy an ugly dress. The materials
and quaint designs are simply irresist-
able, and the prices are so unmistak-
ably low that there is an absolute
saving of at least 25 per cent; in other
words you can buy at that popular
store, single yard at wholesale
prices.

In connection with the recent y ray
experiments, it is pointed out that the
rays will probably obviate to a great
extent the necessity of vivisection
Where is was formerly customary to
cut open an animal, merely in order
to study its internal workings, it will
in future be more instructive to turn
on the Y rays.
This is proof positive of the state
ment advanced months ago regarding
the Y rays and vivisection. Surgeons
scoffed at the idea at first, but they
are gradually adopting the opinion
that it is not only probable, but pos
sible. that before very long the new
light will have removed the object for
which the anti-vivisectional societies
exist. Thus science has again shown
that in it really lies the quality of
mercy.

glass by candle light risks the loss of her
lover. A universal superstition, which
has found its way even to our own pro-
saic times and country, forbids bride
to see herself in a mirror after her toilet
is completed. In Warwiokshire and 9th :
or parts of rural England it was long
the custom to cover all the looking
glasses in a house of death, lest some
affrighted mortal should behold in ona
the pale, shrouded corpse standing by
his side. Superstitions of less ghostly
character cluster around the mirror and
are familiar to us all. To break one is
everywhere an evil omen. ''Seven years
trouble, but no want, " follow fast upon
such a mishap in Yorkshire and in Scot
land the cracking of a looking glass, like
the falling of the doomed man s picture
from the wall, is presage of approach

About the correct thing to do in this
base ball business is to strengthen the
weak teams. Unless there are good
games the League will not be support
ed as it deserves. The managers Of
the First Regiment aggregation set a
good example by dropping men right
and left until presentable nine was
in hand. The public does not want to
see any one entry have a mortgage on
the pennant. What is demanded is
interesting BALL. Even those who are
directly interested do not care for one
sided contests and are willing to aid
in building up poor teams. For an
other thing. too. the play must be
faster. The spectators like to see life
and action on the diamond and will
lose interest unless semblance of earn

one wants the Game and the League
to succeed and the individual teams

TO whatever Department or Bureau
Of the Government the task may fall,
it is most respectfully suggested that
some work of improvement and orna-
lay at the cholera cemetery of Halawa.
This burying ground was established
almost one year ago. 1t is beautiful
ly located on the wagon road to Eva.
The land was provided by Mr.. S. NJ.
Damon. The plot and the mounds are
grown over with weeds and the graves
unused are caving in from the sides
half covered with wild vines. 1t all
looks sadly forlorn and neglected. The
resting place of the victims of the ter
rible scourge are marked by small
boards. The numbers upon these still
show, but the marks are almost gone.
1t would be proper and inexpensive to
park the place and it might be good
idea to erect one large stone with all
the names and to make permanent
marks for the single resting places
Then the gruesome open graves, dug
in advance and CHASTITY in thought,
should be filed. Quite a number of
individuals are interested i'm this mat
ter but there is no reason why it
should not be taken up by the Govern

The men and pepers in the United
States opening the ball with speeches,
interviews and diatribes against the
closer political union" of the two
countries are doing the cause of an
neXation signal service and it is only
hoped they will keep up their work.
The friends of the islands and the adj
vocates of the cause of the Republic
are becoming aggressive already. The
best orators and the best papers in the
United States are espoused of the plat-
form of the party which made an An
nexation plank at st. Louis. 1t is one
of their best weapons against the pres
ent administration and it's party and
will be used on every occasion. With
out opposition it might not be given
so much attention. Many Democrats,
including such men as Senator Nor
gan, cannot but endorse the Republi-
can platform plank. Hawaii's case is
well in hand in the United States.

In order that the first September re-

Opportunity" the occasion
makes it. Never in the his
tory of mercantile transactions
in Honolulu have the people
had such a golden opportunity
to select a lamp as today. A
manufacturer who had more
than he knew what to do with,
more than he had space to put
them, wrote us of his troubles.
We had none of our own so
we listened to him. Our stock
of lamps is the result of his
tale of woe and you get the
benefit.
A black lamp that will give
bright light is not a fad, but
a style that will remain until
"New Hawaii" shall become
old. Being sombre in color
they furnish with any decora-
tions you may have in your
room and any color shade that
suits your fancy will look well
on the lamp.
For dinner table nothing
furnishes the table better than
black banquet lamps. We
have them, not cumbersome,
but Of a height that will
beautify rather than detract
from the other features. We
have piano lamps, hall lamps,
boudoir lamps and every other
character of lamp that ever
was made. The prices are SO
low that it would in.jure our
business to put them in this
column.
