DEATH FROM POISON.

Despite the efforts of the police at
concealment, enough leaked out tonight
to show pretty conclusively that Miss
McGrath was killed by poison, Whether
this poison was self-administered or
not. Langdon probably only knows. I'M
less he has told the police the full story.
That he watched by the girl during her
death aeonies is brought to light in
rather il peculiar way. langdon had
always been precise and methodical
man. and this trait of his life cropped
out even in the face of death, for he
made q memorandum of the exact hour
of the girls death. This memorandum
was found upon him.

the Honolulu public, having
during the last few days received
a large invoice of furniture of the
latest designs direct from The fac

This firm are certainly abreast
of the times, as they import direct
from the factory, thereby dong
away with the jobber or middle
mans profit. This little stroke of
business ability enables them to
sell at a very low figure, and peo-
pie who are thinking of buying
furniture will do well to inspect
their stock before purchasing else
where.
The goods are ready for inspec-
ton and comprise bedroom sets,
extension tables, sideboards, sec
rotary book cases, chiffonieIs, ward,
robes, etc., etc , all from the very
latest designs and at prices to
suit the times. Il

Why Do Anything For Silver?

1.-THE government must do something
for our silver" is an expression heard
even among those who are opposed to
free coinage at 16 to /. But they give
no reasons why the government should
be called Oh to favor particular metal
Why should the men who are engaged
in digging silver have any more claim
to public aid than the men who dig clay
for bricks? One product Of labor is just
as useful as the other, or If there is any
difference it is in favor Of the bricks.
Yet we never hear Of an agitation to get
the government to help the brickmakers.
The value Of the eggs produced annu-
ally in this country is far greater than
that Of all the silver mined. But any
one who would propose that bounty
should be given to the owners OF hens
would be laughed at. Why should
scheme for giving bounties TO the own
ers of silver mines be more seriously
considered? Is it because the latter con-
tribute funds to keep lot Of cheap
money spouters in the political arena?
