Notes of the stage.

''Peck's Bad Boy" the groceryman's ter
ror, brings with him to the Park to-day a
fresh lot Of jokes and tricks that are cal
culated TO make the lives of the wretched
victims more miserable than before. New
songs and dances have been introduced, as
well as many new tricks. Special attention
has been given to the stage setting and
costuming. The humor of Mr.. Peck, as re-
f1ected In his famous book. Is of a hilari-
GUS nature. and in the dramatization moth
Ing has been lost. The play has frequently
been seen here and Is favorite.
The advance sale will open Thursday at
the Pembroke for Lewis Morrison's engage
ment at the Grand the first half of next
week. He will play Faust and "Yorick's
Love"

There's two sides to the
question. Prices on depend
able goods were never so low
as now--and here. Of the
vagaries of trash, we keep no
tally; but certainly poor goods
are not to be considered when
the best goods are selling in
many cases at halfwhat you've
been used to paying for them.
You never in our life heard
of Samian ware selling as
cheap as we offer it. Fancy
a handsomely decorated Sa-
milan tea pot for half dollar.
A tea pot that is good for SER
vice and is an ornament for
any table. In this ware we
have all sorts Of things; choco-
late pots, coffee pots, tobacco
jars, match boxes and stands
for the tea pots. Samian ware
is new here and you will like
it.
Another thing you know as
Cameo ware, but which is
really Wedgewood. This in
flower pots, flower vases, jugs,
cups and saucers and ash trays.
These are in blue and white
and black and white.
Another thing that will be
found of inestimable value to
the housewife is an Edgar nut

the United States. Millions
and millions of the bonds
of South American countries,
that are none too we'll governed,
ale held in London. Yet when
has any of those countries been
threatened with British interior
ence on account of even the sever
est commercial and financial crises
that have overtaken themY Take,
for instance, the Argentina crash
of a few years ago, when the great
firm of Barring Bros. was brought
to the ground. 1t was not British
bayonets that interfered then,
but British gold that-in its own
selfish protection-came to the
succor Of both the bankrupt
country and its bankrupt creditors.
British capital wherever heavily
placed has its influence, and
powerful one as seen In the
late Anglo American war scare in
the United States, but the prob
abilities are that in Hawaii its in
huence would be for careful and
economical government without
any British political advantage.
In the United States the
people never shudder when they
hear, at brief intervals, of great
domestic projects being backed or
aided by British capital. Why,
then, should the people of Hawaii
be seized with cold shivers when
ever it is proposed that the coun-
try shall avail itself of the adj
vantages of the cheapest money
market in the world, especially
when our great republican
neighbor insists with stronger
emphasis than ever upon main
tanning the paramount outside in
fluence, among all the Powers of
the earth, over the destinies of this
Western Hemisphere ?

Great Circus success.

So crowded was the tent for the
new program of the Hawaiian
Circus on Saturday evening that
chairs had to be placed in the
space between the ring and the
gallery and scores of spectators
had to stand. The performance
in every part was enthusiastically
applauded. There was a notable
improvement in the riding acts.
Leonardo performed thrilling and
novel feats on the aerial rings. In
the Vaudeville portion every part
made the canvas vibrate with the
echoes of mirth. Scott and Row.
ley's funny business all through
kept up an epidemic of merriment.
Evidently the spectators were
more than satisfied. Tomorrow
night another grand bill will be
presented.

take pride in showing them to
our customers The prices are
not as nlgn AS one would ina
giue FIR such high grade goods;
ranging Gs.w $1,000 up.
Our small oxldised chate-

not be overlooked. For a watch
costing almost nothing; run

magnetic influences; which in
this age Of electricity is a point
of incaIculable value. No mat

no other stock is half as large,
no other stock contains the ex-

All the time that is left will pro-
badly not be sufficient for having
