MONWAR IN TROUBLE.
Opium Found Ueder the Bed of
Paul Neumann's Clerk.

Monwar, the Chinese clerk in At
torney Paul. Neumann's office, is in a
rather uncomfortable position just at
present, and not until Thursday morn
ing will he know what Judge De La
Vergne will do with him.
On Saturday morning last Detective
KAPPA and others went to his room
in the Tong On Jan building, Nuuanu
avenue, and found three tins of opium
stored away under the bed. Monwar
was arrested and released on bail.
The case came up in the police court
yesterday morning, and the defendant
plead Not Guilty. He stated that he
believed a job had been put up on him,
and indeed it looks very much as if
such were the case. 1t would be doing
rather scant justice to Mr.. Monwar' S
shrewdness to even think that he would
choose such place as under the bed
to conceal opium.

w. w. DIMOND.

The holiday season has
been one of exceptional and
unexpected prosperity to US.
For weeks past we have
been calling attention to
fancy goods as well as those
of an ornamental character.
We might have advertised
strictly useful articles, but
people as a rule, draw the
line at cumbersome presents
placed in the hosiery hung
besides the hearth. A Jewell
stove, for instance, would be
injurious to the average Ho-
nolulu stocking, but It would
have been most acceptable
in the homes of a great many
people here.
We have just received a
very large invoice of these
stoves in all sizes, from the
smallest to the largest made
at the factory. Our prices
for these stoves are so rea-
Sonable that one of them
should be in every home in
Honolulu.
Our method of selling to
island customers is an inno-
walton to the people of the
islands; the price of the
stove in our store is the
same at any shipping port in
the islands = we pay the
freight from Honolulu.

design is suspended from a white
enamel scroll with the words: white

the foundation walls are covered with
grass, that work on the new station
