Interesting.

Nothing is as comfortable as a
nicely furnished bed chamber,
and we feel that this is the time to
bring to your notice something in
this line that is not only service
able and durable, but pleasing to
the eye. Solid oak chamber suits
beautifully carved and polished
with oral cheval or pattern plate
mirrors; commodes, chairs and
table to match. Aside from this
we have auxiliary furniture for
the bed chamber to match, such
as chiffoniers with or without
toilets, separate dressers and
shaving dressers for gentlemen.
These goods are new and of the
very latest designs.

SAINT Party.

Mrs. H. 7. Walker gave a very
pleasant party at her home on
King street last night, in anticipa-
ton of her early departure to
join her husband at Kchala, where
he has for some time been en-
gineer of the Kohala Plantations
mill. Besides relatives of the
hostess the guests included
several married couples and a
goodly number of young folks
from her large circle of friends.
The Time was mostly beguiled
with music, of which three of the
best MINISTRIES of the young Ha-
waiians' Instituto-P. Silva, w. j.
Coelho and Sylvester-furnished
a large portion both instru-
mental and vocal. There
was an occasional dance
between times, including few
sets of lancers. Refreshments COM
prising both substantials and de-
licacies of a fine quality were
served. Everybody remained un-
til the general dispersal near mid
night, and the expression through
out on all countenances was that
of happiness.

HUNG HIMSELF AT KAPAA.
A japanese Prisoner Commits Suicide
tn a Kauai Jail.

A japanese who had just been
sentenced to six months in Jail
for the crime of stealing by the
district court at Kappa, hung him
self in the Jail at that place last
Tuesday night. He took his
sash off and attached it to one of the
stringer overhead, got on a bucket,
adjusted the moose around his
neck and literally and actual
ly "kicked the bucket" from
under him. The Jail keeper
going in next morning found the
poor Jap, his tongue out and
black in the face, his toes just
touching the floor. He was still
hanging at 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning when the steamer James
Makee left, as the police were
waiting the arrival of the coroner,
Deputy Sheriff Kaiu, from Wailua,
about four miles distant from Ka-
paa.

A strong criticism of the Amer
lean Protective Association ap-
pears in the Hilo Tribune. 1t
appears branch of that society
has been organized at Hilo, with
its constitution modified to en-
brace Hawaiian politics. 1t is a
secret society and being political
is therefore not in keeping with
free and honest government. Open
town meetings, party conventions
held in public, manly discussion
of public questions in the light of
day, are characteristic of modern
free institutions. Secret organic
atoms to manipulate politics are a
menace to liberty. They are also,
if we mistake not, illegal in this
country.

ON THE
PRESIDENT OF VENEZU-
Ella AND OTHER
INTERESTING
MATTERS.

President CreSpo of Venez-
uela is a tall, heavy man, with
a countenance revealing force
and determination. He is very
abStemiouS in his habit and
generally goes to bed at 8
o'clock in the evening. He is
in the habit of summoning his
Ministers to him at sunrise.
He is fond of cattle-ranching,
and owns a large number of
acres not far from the Venezu-
elan capital. He is a fine equeS-
trian and has an unlimited
amount of backbone. He also
knows a good thing when a
friend puts him on to it. If he
lived in Honolulu he would be
one of the first to call at the
store of the Hawaiian Hard
ware Company and examine
some of that fine cutlery just
received by the last Australia.
Beyond question we have now
displayed on our shelves and
in our windows and showcases
the finest lot of cutlery ever
brought to these Islands.
One of those fine carving
sets with ivory or buckhorn
handles in handsome plush
cases would be just the thing
to take the fancy of President
Crespo or his great and good
friend Grover Cleveland. We
have also smaller sets of cary
ers, designed for game and
tete-a-tete dinners. go
In the matter of Knives we
have a new stock of everything
in the line, comprising butter,
kitchen, skinning, dessert, table,
putty medium, hunting. and
pocket knives in an almost be-
wildering variety.
Those little pearl-handled
butter knives are dandieS and
you will want one as soon as
you see them.
Another useful little article
is a pocket nail-cleaner and
file, which is a novelty and
quite cheap.
We are entirely out of bicy-
cles, having closed out our en-
tire stock last week. We ex-
pect a big lot of the 1896
model of the Tribune and Mon
arch wheels by the next steam
er and shall be pleased to take
your order in advance.
We have also on hand a
fresh supply of Fresh coffee
pots, which sell like hot cakes.

SALE or FRESH FISH.

Much can be said on both sides
of the question relating to the sale |
of fresh fish, which has divided
the opinion of members of the
Board of Health. Although the
regulation combining the sale to
the public market has been of
long standing, it is a fact
nevertheless that there has
been peddling of fish from
door to door for some time past.
One protection that people have
against unsound food supplies of
any kind is that they need not be
imposed upon more than once by
the same dealer without having
themselves to blame. What the
opponents of relaxing the privilege
seem to be afraid of, however, is
that the sale of unwholesome fish
here and there may cause con-
siderable sickness in the aggre-
gate from its unwilling consump-
ton. On the other hand, there is
no doubt that the necessity of 60
ing to the market for a
mess of fresh fish is an in
convenience to many people.
There are some who have nobody
to send for it." and still more who
live at such distance from the
market that it is inconvenient, as
well as expensive, for them to send
there for two or four bits worth of
fish. Perhaps some modification
of the rule might be devised, in
which the hawking of fish, or its
sale at stores in the outskirts,
could be allowed under license,
subject at all times to inspection
with pain of forfeiture of
license for selling stale fish.
Limitations might be placed on all
hawkers and storekeepers taking
out licenses, so that they would
have to account for all fish re-
naming unsold at a certain hour,
and be prevented from offering
them later or having them decay
on their premises to make a nui-
sance. The best plan of all would
be one that gave holders of fish
stalls at the market-if they would
accept 1.-THE sole privilege
of supplying peddlers and store
keepers. These could keep a re-
cord of all such transactions and
be required to insist upon the re-
turn to them by, say, five o'clock
in the afternoon, of all fish for
which no money returns were
received. The main dealers could
then salt down the returned fish
as they are permitted to do that
remaining in their stalls at the
close of the day. In the case of
stores it should be required that
the fish be kept in a refrigerator
where no other food supplies are
kept, and in the case of peddlers
that they should be equipped with
an ice box on wheels to protect
the fish from both the warm air
and the sun while going their
rounds. These are only sug-
gestions which may lead to some
more acceptable expedient. 1t
does look like invidious discrim-
ination against the sale of fresh
fish to confne it to one place,
while all other food supplies are
allowed to be sold by peddlers
and others, and that with little OF
no official supervision for the
protection of the public, every
where throughout the town.

SPALDING SHOULD BEGIN WORK
Franchise Originally Op-
posed by Merchants.

ters-Let Company Best Quail
flied Build the Line.

The editorial in Thursdays issue OF
the Advertiser anent the cable seems
to have expressed the feelings of ma
| jority of the business men in the com
munity. A few were willing to give
| their opinions when spoken to by an
Advertiser reporter yesterday, while
others for business and social relations
with Col. Spalding preferred not to
have their names mentioned.
]. B. Atherton, President of the
Chamber of Commerce and managing
partner of the firm of Castle & Cooke.
said:
Il am opposed to any extension of
the franchise to Col. Spalding or Civ
ing franchise for long period to any
one. Nor do l particularly advocate
franchises by the Government unless
there is a forfeit clause, which pro-
vides that the person forfeit the
amount of the deposit if the work is
not completed within a specified time
believe, also, that there should be
clause providing that the Government
may assume control of the cable when
it can. We have enough of long fran
chises in the Tramways Company, and
| think that should be a lesson not to
grant any more long ones. If l remem-
granted in 1865 to Cyrus w. Field, and
we have been ever since then trying
to get cable through
One of the largest retailers in the
city preferred not to say anything for
publication, but gave it as his opin-
ion that the line should be built as
soon as possible and preferably by an
American company. He opposed any
extension of the franchise or granting
a long one TO any company, unless
there was a deposit which would be
forfeited unless the cable was laid
within certain time
William G. Irwin, than whom no
one more interested in the development
of Hawaii can be found, expressed
an extension of time.
Opposed to it? OF course, [ am, but |
if you say so in the Advertiser the |
public will say it is for personal rea-
sons, but this is not the case. l don't |
believe in giving long franchises to |
any one individual or corporation. |
What is the use of tying up the Gov |
for long period? The fran |
;hise was given to Col. Spalding in !
to the wishes of the bust |
less firms who represent three-fourths |
Of the capital of the country. The re-
suit of Col. Spalding's effort at Wash |
ngton shows that these men were |
light in opposing it. The oftener the !
are extended the longer we |
will be without a cable, and the more |
.unny forfeit clauses inserted in them |
he more pleasure it will be to the man
who gets the franchise. What does the |
100000 deposit amount to? Col !

At night all steamers send up a signal
