For the first time in years,
perhaps in the history Of the
country. five foreign mer-
chant steamships have been
in port ct one time, and to
accommodate these five
steamers there were but two
Wharves. Evidently COM
merce with Hawaii and the
outer world must be grow
ing apace. There can be no
doubt Of it, with a rapidly
increasing population of Asia
| tic students and merchants
| there is no reason why the
demand for merchandise Of
one sort or other should not
increase, and as there are no
manufactures here, the pro-
ducts of other countries must
be brought in ships.
We find it the best means,
as the trans-Paciflc train SER
vice is irregular. We get a
lot of freight by these steam
ers, valuable goods sold at
prices which defy compe-
tition. Just now we want
| to call your attention to Ser
ges and TWeedS, in blue or
black and light or medium
weight. These are for men.
We have Serges in the
same coIors for ladies. So
we have black, white or grey
Alpaca dress materials,
something unusually good.
It's coming on toward
shower time = waterproof
serge is just a little bit better
than anything else for wet
weather, as it sheds water
like a duck.
Hemstitched handkerChiefs
for ladies, go to you at $3.50
to So a dozen--$o is high
may be, but not for these
goods. Lace beading in white
or black shades and in one,
| two or three rows, is sur
prisingly low.

pursue a special course, makes great
