w. w. DIMOND.

Much Of the solid silver
ware used in Honolulu is
bought in San Francisco by
people visiting there be-
cuSe it is cheaper.
Twenty-Five per cent duty
is a great deal too much to
pay and it tempts people to
make purchases while they
are where they may buy it
cheaper. There is nothing
criminal in the transaction,
just a bit of practical econ
omy. There would have
been no necessity for these
buyers to 60 abroad, if deal
ers were, willing to divide
with their customers. The
profit is large enough on
solid ware to cut off the
twenty-five per cent. and
sell it at a margin satisfactory
to every one. People do not
buy when they are abroad
because they can get better
goods, but because they can
get it cheaper.
The selections made by us
are from three of the largest
factories in the States. We

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC.
Napa and San Jose Schools to be Con-
solidated at the Latter Place..

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23-The
Board of Directors of the University
of the Pacific held a meeting at the
Y. M G. A. building to-day The future
policy of the university regarding its
educational department was discussed
at length, and it was decided to con-
solidate the Napa and San Jose schools
at the latter place The college at
Napa will be closed at the end of this
term.
The reasons for this change are
First, the new conditions of education
on the coast, such as the opening of the
Stanford University, somewhat reduc-
ing the patronage, and a conviction on
the part of the trustees that one school
of college grade would serve the re-
quirements of the denomination.
The school at San Jose, known as the
San Jose College, and located at Col
lege Park, will henceforth be known as
the University of the Pacific, with affil-
lated schools. the Conservatory of Mu-
sic and the School of Art, also located
at College Park. By this arrangement
ell graduates of Napa College and all
degrees issued by the institution will
be recognized by the new university.
The Napa property, consisting of coll
Iege buildings, halls and about twelve
acres of land, will be put on the market
at once.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Opening Session of the National Asso-
cfation's Convention.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-At the
opening session of the 2Sth annual con-
vention of the National Woman's Suf-
frage Association to-day one hundred
delegates were in attendance, including
the most prominent leaders in the move
ment from nearly every State in the
Union.
Susan B. Anthony of Rochester, N. Y,
in calling the meeting to order was
heartily welcomed, and the convention
proceeded directly to the routine busi-
ness of the association.
The report of Rachael Foster Avery
of philadelphia, who has been Core
spending Secretary of the organization
for the past fifteen years, gave many
indications of the practical success Of
the movement, and instanced particu-
larly the case of Utah, which was held
to demonstrate the advisability Of Sc
curing the aid of political parties
through planks in their platforms. Mrs.
Avery's reference to the Women's Bible
led to discussion rather livelier than
is usual in a suffrage convention.
Mrs. Colby moved the adoption Of the
report. with the exception of the portion
quoted above.
Mrs. Lille Deveraux Blake of New
York earnestly championed Mrs. Stan
tons book, declaring that much of the
criticism Of the Women's Bible arose
from the densest ignorance.
When Mrs Blake asked every woman
present who had read the book to hold
up her hand. only eight hands appeared,
and Mrs. Blake declared in caustic
manner: I'VE are a nice body to pass
criticism on matter Of this sort, now
aren't we?'
After several addresses severely COM
menting on the book, Mrs. Harriet Tay-
lor Upton of Ohio moved to lay the
whole matter on the table. which was
carried by a vote of 80 to 16
The business session resolved itself
into a training school for organizers,
under the instruction Of Mrs. G. G. Gait
Of New York.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-Death
and disaster seem to have followed the
American ship Roanoke from the mo-
ment she left New York on June 20,
1895, until she arrived here this after
noon. The following extracts from the
Captains log tell the story:
Sailed from New York June 20, 1895.

Of the United States, fell from the miz-
zen royal yard and was killed instantly.
August 26th-Shipped a heavy sea,
which disabled eight of the watch on

tive of Finland, fell from the foretop-
sail yard to the deck and was killed
August 2Sth-B. G.. Palm a native
of Denmark, fell from the foretopsail

August 29th-Kept the ship off Mon
tevideo, having but eight men on deck.
Could not fetch that port, so kept on for
Rio de Janeiro. Arrived at Rio Septem-
Der 10Th, and put sixteen of the crew in
the hospital, and sailed again October
2Sth. After leaving Rio the Roanoke
was buffeted by gales and driven out of
her course time and again.
Strange to say. the ship was damaged
very little. The Roanoke is a sister ship
OF the Shenandoah, and is the largest
American merchantmen afloat, regis
tering 1889 tons gross.

After warning Solomon, Luebeke

Solomon made for him again he arose
from the bed and stabbed him to the

The police believe that the crime was
premeditated by Luebeke, for they had

living in the same house with Luebeke
and his wife and step-children for the
past two months. Three weeks ago the
