story which had come down over the tcle-

that for 10 cents worth of malt extract
with gentleman on William street, my
friend walked up to the Fourteenth ward.

SOME SMALL CALDER.

Some of our mighty reformers
should rebuke the population OH its
frightful appetite for gossip, a most
grevious and demoralizing fault.
Take the episode OF the Hilo editor.
He was paraded in a newspaper as
an ex-attorney who had been dis
barred in the States and who had
changed his name upon arrival in
the Islands. If the half told Of him
is true he is not worth much atter-
ton. If he is half 50 bad as painted
his iniquities will bring about his
punishment i'll due time. 1t is bare
ly possible, but this suggestion
must be carefully introduced as a
remote contingency, that the OF,
fender can claim some moiety
of kindly consideration or car
offer something in mitiga
ton. But THE STARS main point
is that the scandal received more
attention and was provocative OF
more talk in Honolulu than the
cable franchise. 1t is regarded ly
lots of our people as really more
important fact than that day by
day Asiatic influence in Hawaii
is becoming stronger as against
American or European influence
This tendency is not unusual, per
haps. 1t may be said that it i:
common as the weakness of man
kind, but these are not reasons
why effort should be delayed il
forcing realization of the genuin
problems of land.

We expect that when we
open our store doors to the
public ON the 18th inst.
that the people will come there
about as ladies 90 to a millinery
exhibition; not to buy, fcourse,
but to get IDEAS and obtain
prices. That's what we want.
The entire day will be devoted
to conveying information to
callers and selling them goods
, if they sec something that
strikes their fancy.
We are proud of the store,
proud of what we have done to
/ give the people of Honolulu
the same facilities for buying
good goods at low prices, that
they get i'll the States, and we
will derive pleasure in convinc-
ing the people that the rumors
circulated by competitors that
because our store is the hand
soonest in the city it will
necessarily follow that the
prices are higher is a campaign
story and false as a hollow
tree.
What we will sell you is
good, there is no question as to
the quality, even our business
rivals concede that, it's the
price that will surprise you.
Dealers that have been selling
an article for S10-marvel at
our selling the same thing at
half the money. It's the buy
ing it properly that enables
us to do it. Some people dc
not buy as we do-for cash at
a discount.
On the 18th we will show
you Crockery, Glassware OF
every description, Filters
Lamps, Cutlery, Plated Ware
, Woodenware, Refrigerators
Hardware, Agateware, Tin.

He WHO tooteth his own horn

sumably have no business of their

business of this establishment. THE

NOT A LAZY LAND.

1t is high time that the bubbles
serving as receptacles for theories Of
inactivity and procrastination on the
part of business, governmental aud
social factors in Hawaii be pune
tured and their contents scattered
to the four winds along with other
legends and fallacies. 1t may pos
sibly be true that the general rush
here is not quite so marked as it is
in some sections Of the United
States, for instance, but THE STAR
holds that fully as much is accom-
plished in the way Of gaining re-
suits, and stands ready to prove
this. Hawaii is lust as far advanced
with the various institutions ofcivil-
ization and commerce as any coun-
try the same age is in those lines.
Indeed, it is ahead of great many
of them. The group development
is at stage equaling that of any
state oAv-erritory between the MIS-
sissippi and.the Pacific, opened in
the years that men looking for bust
ness opportunities first came to these
shores. What town in the United
States the same age as Honolulu,
and even with the environments
more conducive to rapid and sub
stantial growth can compare to
Honolulu? There is not one. No,
this is not a land for dreaming. Ii
is pleasant, because it is balmy OF
cline and inviting in every pro-
spect, but genuine hustling is the
recipe for success, the same as
elsewhere, and no fortune has been
piled up or career carved out eX-
cept by unusual eXertion. Hawaii
is not soft snap" country. The
man who counts on proceed
ing without competition will be
disappointed The community re-
cord is a standing and positI 5e
denial OF all the pretty tales on the
sunshiny ease of life in the tropics.
There has been more public acti-
witty and more of public movement
in Honolulu during the past three
years than even a Rocky Mountain
town sees in half century and
more public social, religious, edu-
cational and charitable work is car
ried on in Honoulu than even a
New England town twice the size
can boast. The procrastinatlon
and dolfe TAR aienkf ideals are myths,
50 far as actual life III Honolulu
and Hawaii are concerned.

The receivership of last May was
created to cover property owned by. the
Northern Pacific company that was not
covered by the numerous and myriad
conditioned mortgages, executed by the
company, consisting entirely of congress
sional lands. Just how much property
there is that the receivers have in
charge, is not known, Judge Jenkins
having referred the matter to Alfred

an account and also at the same time
to ascertain and report to the court
the names and residences of creditors
Of the company. Mr.. Carey has not

ship SO far as the railroad property
is concerned, however, does not remove
the property from the jurisdiction OF
the court. The foreclosure decree, I'M

company the new corporation and pres
ent owner, purchased imposes upon 1t
the obligation to pay all Indebtedness,
Incurred or contracted by the receivers
and makes such liabilities a lien upon
all the property that passed under the
decree The court, by virtue Of the de-
cree, reserves the right to at any time
retake and resell the property for the
purpose Of satisfying any indebtedness
or liability of the receivership.
In the order discharging Receivers

SIX directors. By the terms Of an act

INTEREST IN JUDAISM.
Problem of Accusing 1t Discussed
by Jewish Women.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Promptly at
the appointed hour, the third session
Of the first annual convention of the
National Council of Jewish Women
opened today with Mrs. Hanna G. Solo
mon in the chair. The session was
given over to three Of the more i'm
portant standing committees, reports
from which were read by their chair
men, First was the report of Miss
Julia Felsenthal, of Chicago, chairman
Of the committee on religion. One
purpose of the council, the report said,
was to arouse the interest Of Ameri-
can JeWesses in Judaism, it's literature,
history and the Bible. 1--WE have lost, =
it continued, 1.-The reverential spirit
that pervades the every action of our
ancestors. That spirit cannot be re-
stored, but 1t may be substituted by a
nobler pride. We believe especially that
the central plan of our work must be
to strengthen the pivotal point of our
religious activity, to help to energize
the waning interest in divine worship.
We are endeavoring to change a DOR

knowledge"
