When Senator McCandless, his
wife and child were driving into
town this morning they met with an
accident which fortunately had no
serious results. Mrs, McCandless
who was driving pulled her horse
up rather suddenly. DR.. Howard,
who was driving closely behind Mrs.
McCandless' buggy was unable to
turn out of the way and collision
occurred resulting in wheel being
taken off Mrs. McCandless' carriage.
The horse fortunately did not bolt
and assistance promptly rendered
by passers by. Besides getting
scared no injury was done to the
occupant OF the buggy which was
promptly sent to the Hawaiian Car
riage Manufacturing Company for
repair by instructions of the doctor.

Even with super abundance
of depredatory bugs the average
woman of Honolulu takes a
great interest in plants. The
taste of many runs to ferns be-
cause they are little or no trouble
to raise. And there is money
in it to persons who wish to
raise them for sale. A plant for
a quarter will be worth two or
three dollars in year if pro-
perly attended to. That's the
reason we included Fern pans
of Monmouth pottery among
our goods.
They are new here and have
never been seen before. If you
are raising ferns come and look
at our window. We've lots of
things in there suited to the
flower garden or in the house.
In this celebrated Monmouth
Pottery we have Stove Jars
holding from a half gallon to
ten. Then there are Butter
Crooks, Fruit Jars, Bean Pots,
Stew Pans and Water Pots.
The factory at Monmouth,
Illinois, holds the record for the
best glazing on stone Of any
place in the United States. 1t
is their goods we handle. We
have from their works small and
large flower pots, with saucers,
and absolutely perfect, We
have other and cheaper flower
pots Of English and American
make.
An inspection may be to your
interest.
