RACE GAMBLING.

Pools on the races were sold the
two evenings before the events. There
was about $4,000 in the box. This is
a very fair amount for meet of "a
single day. Everybody knows at least
that pool selling or participation in
the same is gambling direct and
earnest. The odds are made by auc-
ton and there is common stakehold-
er who retains percentage for his
trouble. The services of an able seller
and couple of clerks are required.
All else needed is men with money to
risk. These will be on hand so long
as there are races. At the track there
was fully as much betting as usual,
though it was quietly done. No arrests
We're made. If warrants are served
and prosecutions are successful, the
betting will not stop. The restraint
more useful and satisfactory anti
gambling law. The one now upon the
statute books is simply absurd. 1t
embodies the ideas of moral men in
tent upon putting down what they
consider a great evil. The trouble has
been that they approached the task
with only very hazy theoretical knowl-
edge of the best means of accomplish
ing a desired reform. The result has
brought about condition that from
the moral standpoint is worse than
the old status. The reformers OF this
section should have secured special
counsel and advice, as did the parti-
sans of temperance on the Liquor
Commission.
1t was funny; it was awfully, awful
ly funny, to hear the official announce
ment at the track that "all bets" on a
certain race were off" This proceed
ing warm on the trail of the passage
of a law prohibiting gambling in any
form in language and by method
ridiculous as the thought thatmen will
quit gambling on account of Lcgis-
lative act; and freaky as the absence
from the track of representatives of
the embryo Law and Order League.
Again, it was funny.

Mr.. Cleveland's veto message with
the return of the Rivers and Harbors
Bill is ponderous as all his commun-
ications, but entirely consistent with
ject. The president scents the spoils-
men in the background and does not
halt in intimating as much. The re-
markable phase of the matter, how
ever, is that he comedies the inability
of the treasury to stand much pres
sure for internal improvements. Ha-
wall is better off in this respect than
the United States.

the coffee and other produce could be

the landing. Fifty acres Of land are in

coffee land lying all in one block on both

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,

for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light Safe; nothing could
be safer A few days ago a prominent gen
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 take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a 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.

this line and have just received lot of the

NO. Io5 NEW PROCESS.
We wish. to say to those.
who were making inquiries of
those that we first introduced,
that the ones we just received
are of the same patterns as
the previous ones.
The "Io5' three burner and
the "Io6, which is a counter.
part of the ore represented in
the cut except that it has four
burners instead of three.
The "Io5" is very conven,
lent for a medium sized family,
having all the fixtures used on
the larger stoves. The weight
is only 1870 pounds and costs
complete but $22 50.
The "Io6" weights 40 and
costs $25.
The above cut shows the
oven in position for baking
or roasting, but when not
in use can be conveniently
pushed back and the
burner used for other purposes.
All the burners can be used at
the same time. The wick
raiser is strong and positive in
its action.
The points that appear to be
favorable with those who have
investigated the stove is the
simplicity Of construction and
the cheapness of fuel as CON-
pared with other stoves on the
market. We trust that those
who were disappointed in not
being fortunate in obtaining
one of the first stoves will see
us as soon as convenient.

LOST AND FOUND.
The Story of a Valuable Paclsa sc of Dia
mOnds.


Yesterday afternoon Frank Della
plain made a rich find in the McLure
House billiard room. He was watch
ing a billiard game and glancing to a
vacant seat at his side saw a small
leather covered box. He picked it up
and not thinking the contents of any
particular value opened the case. He
was startled to find within an array Of
elegant diamond rings. There were
just fCrty-seven, all with the finest
diamond settings, number studded
with beautiful opals and other rare
stones. 1t was clear that some per-
son had accidentally dropped the case
Of jewels from his pocket while seated
in the billiard room. Mr.. Delaplain
undertook Immediately to find the own
er and restore his property. Shortly
afterward Edward Drury, Of Lancaster
Pa, travelling salesman for a large
eastern diamond house, came into the
hotel and told eXcitedly that he had
lost a case Of diamonds valued at be-
tween s., 800 and $4,000. After giving
a description of his property Mr. Della
plain placed the lost gems in the own
er's hands. He was exceedingly well
pleased at recovering the costly spark
lers and rewarded Mr.. Delaplain by
presenting him with s. bill.
