Buying here now is par
ticularly fascinating, because
our stock of dry goods is so
remarkably fresh, SO full of
new things.
Your season is at its height,
but the manufacturers and
wholesalers season is over.
They had to get rid of their
summer stock, no matter how
attractive or how much they
sacrificed. A store with clean
stock and free hands has
better chances to buy the
finest goods below the cost
of manufacture. One stores
goods bythemselves tell only
half the story; what are those
goods like in other stores ?
A stock of Honey Comb
quilts means interest added
if they are not sold until fall.
It's your chance new to buy
them cheap. Quilts are good
things to keep. White Pen
lope canvas is a grade higher
than you've been used to,
but the price is leSS-to US
and to you if you wear white
clothes. Victoria Lawns are
fashionable in Hawaii twelve
months in the year, the price
depends upon where you
buy them. With us, they
are a trifle lower than in the
smaller shops. We buy them
in quantities, because the
price is less.

Was the Match Race Between Billy c
and Antidote.
In Which the Old Time winner Gets
Left and the New Blood
Bobs up.

At p. M. Saturday the stands at Ka
piolani Park and places near by were
well filled with people interested in the
five-eighths mile dash between the ri
val race horses, Billy c. and Antidote,
but they were forced to curb their i'm
patience until 4:30 on account OF the
usual delay in getting the horses ready.
Captain Trip, Theo. Hoffman and J.
F. Colburn were appointed judges, and
G. B. Wilson starter.
Shortly after the time mentioned
above the horses were at their places,
Bob Isom riding Billy c. and Cal Leon
ard on Antidote
The start was a good one, with Billy
G. little in the lead. Antidote closed
up the gap in short time, and then it
was neck and neck to the home stretch
when the Billy G. contingent saw that
their favorite was gradually dropping
behind and that Antidote was holding
on as if defeat meant death. Just before
reaching the finish Billy G. gained two
or three inches, but it was impossible
for him to catch Antidote. Time, 1:04.
Bob Isom, the colored jockey from
the States, who rode Billy c., did his
work very well, but to many of the
sports it seemed as if he did not know
the horse, and that the little native
jockey who had ridden him in previous
races could have obtained far better re-
suits. '''77ii TT
Cal Leonard went into the race to
win and perhaps he never rode so well
in his life as he did while speeding
away from the five-eighths on Saturday

MORNING RUNAWAY.
Paul Isenberg' Horse Becomes Fright
ened and Makes a Break.
DIR. Miners BuGgie Touched and H. 5.
Padgett's Hack Dumped-Care-
less All sun Arrested.

Between 10 and II o'clock Saturday
morning the Office of ]. Q. Wood, on the
Eva corner of King and Bethel streets,
had a visit from a horse which just
little previous had been attached to
Paul Isenberg's buggy.
When Mr.. Isenberg drove into town
he went to the Metropolitan Meat Mar
ket, and after tieing his horse to the
post near the alley leading in back of
the market, went inside on business.
1t seems that All Sun was backing
out of the alley just little later, and
not having his distances we'll gagged,
ran into the telephone post to which
Mr.. Isenberg's horse was tied. The ami
NAL became frightened and jerked back,
this action pulling off the bride and
of course the blidrers.
When the animal spied the China
mans wagon it made a bolt and start
ed off
Just little ahead and on the same
side Of the street was Dr. Miners bug
gy. The runaway bumped into this,
threw it out of it's original position and
kept on it's way.
H. S. Padgett of the Hotel Stables
was turning from Bethel into King
street when the runaway struck his
hack, and turning it completely over,
broke several parts and bruised Mr..
Padgett.
This little encounter finished, the
horse made a dash for the law office
mentioned, and having parted company
with the buggy by contact with the
curbing, ran in without further ado.
Here the animal suddenly became quiet
and was caught without trouble
All Sun, who caused the runaway,
was arrested on the charge of furious
and needless driving.

An Individual Appears on King Street
and Gives Late Rider a Chase.
Ouu-Rau Pitcher Woods.

A hackman saw the Woman in
early Friday morning. He started after
her, but she turned into Chaplain Lane
When he followed her in the lane she
darted into Frank Damon's yard and
the hackman drove on.
Sunday morning at four o'clock while
two young men were riding in a buggy
a man, also dressed in black made his
appearance among the piles of sand
where the new sidewalk is being laid
between Richard and King street. When
he found the men looking at him he
turned his back to them and drew his
coat collar up around his neck. They
drove by and turned their horse and
the man took his position behind tree
in front of where Enginee Pat Hughes
lives.
One of the gentlemen jumped from
the buggy to ascertain who the man
was, but the fellow ran to the corner
and up Alakea street with the man at
his heels. The electric lights were out
and the moon dim and the man was lost
sight of. 1t was thought that he ran
up the alley at the side of the Christian
Church and afterward made his way to
King street.
Pitcher Woods and Willie Sumner
were in the neighborhood and Joined
the chase, but the fellow was too fleet of
foot. He is described as of medium
height, slender and with smooth face.
He wore what resembled a Prince Al
bert coat and was dressed entirely in
dark clothes. When he started to run
from behind the tree he removed his
hat

Free Coinage Not Assured.

It is beginning to be seen that even
should the Democrats carry both the
Presidency and the House of Repre-
sentotives, it is by no means certain
that free silver Legislation will result.
There will probably be a number Of
SQUAD money Democrats elected TO the
next House, and they wo1ld not by any
means feel bound to support a free
coinage bill. The Democratic platform
of 1892 declared in favor of the repeal
of the 10 per cent. tax upon State banks,
but when Congress assembled there "as
bare majority of the Democrats in ia.
