MERCHANT STREET, HONOLULU

Christmas is season for feasting
and some people will go without
necessities in other lines rather than
miss a good dinner on Christmas Day.
There is much beside turkey the
piece de resistance; without the
really necessary trimmings the din
ner will be fiat. You may want a
salad. We have the oil and the
shrimps or the lobster-chicken if
you wish it; but the oil must be good
and our brands are the very best.
Olives you will want and there is
nothing to compare with the famous
Manzanilla's.
Then there's the mushroUns and
the French peas, BEANS, and such
vegetables as are required for an I'M
questionably good dinner.
If the steamer arrives on time we
will have the usual supply of celery,
red cabbage and fruits. We have the
best almonds and raisins obtainable,
and there may be some fresh oysters.
This, with a tin of Huckin's soups
and a turkey will go long way to-
ward happiness.

MORNING STAR.
Capt. Garland Writes of the Mission
AIRY Vessels Voyage.
(The Friend,)

(The Friend.)
The following letter from Capt.
Garland to Mr.. p. c. Jones, chairman
of the Morning Star Committee, and
dated Butaritari, July 18th, gives the
latest news from Micronesia and from
the Star
Dear Sir:--We arrived here yester-
day morning, eighteen days from Ho-
nolulu. We find Mr.. Wall>up here, he
having just arrived from a trip
through the group. He reports the
outlook brighter for mission work.
Dancing is on the wane at this island.
The king has abolished it altogether.
The Star leaks more than ever. The
first few days out we had a strong
wind and a rough sea, and were
obliged to pump fully six hours out
of the twenty-four. AS the sea got
smoother the leak lessened, until now
it is about as at the last voyage.
when we get back from Ruk to
kusaie, most of the cargo will be out.
| shall then probably get the stern
out on sand bank and look again for
the leak. BY going into the shaft
alley as far aft as we can get, we can
hear stream of water running in. 1t
sounds large. 1t is so near the stern
post we cannot tell on which side it is.
AS the stern comes out of the water
we hope to be able to locate the leak !;
otherwise all is going well with us.
Yours truly,
GEO. +. GARLAND,

Electric
Company.

The ceanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
Tor use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light Safe; nothing could
be safer. 4 few days ago a prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night "A lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

TALKED TO OLNEY.
Hawaiian Ministers Visit the Unitel
States Secretary of State.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Henry f..
Cooper. Hawaiian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, today called at the State De-
partment and had an interview with
Secretary Oney. He was accompa-
MED by Minister Hatch. The two
Ministers disclaimed any motive in the
visit other than to pay their respects
to the Secretary of State, but the air
has been full of rumors i'm connection
with the matter. The declarations Of
the foreigners are taken with grain
of salt.
The opinion is quite general that
the Hawaiian Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs intends to remain in Washington
for several months, and that the one
great object of his stay is to promote
the cause of the annexation of the
island republic to the United States.
\ visit will also be arranged to the
President within day or two.
There is no hope that the present
Administration will do anything for
the cause, but if an active canviss be
made as soon as the new Administers
ton comes into power it would cause
no surprise among those who are
Keeping a close watch upon every turn
in the affairs of the State Department.
Weight is given to this theory because
of recent dispatch from Honolulu
in which an official of the Hawaiian
Government was credited with some
bold statements in favor of annexa-
ton, subject which it was suggested
would be very acceptable to the Gov
eminent of the United States.

 Cultivation of XioIets.


 Violets n frames require a great deal of attention during the dark winter months, and light and air must be given on every possible opportunity. It does no harm to leaye the frames covered with snow for q couple of days ill se- were weather, but great damage is done If snow is allowed to remain for a week, when mold will spread with alarming rapidity Even If sunlight can be ad- mitted for but three hours and little ventilation given, it is surprising how the plants are benefited. There are very few days during the whole winter when we do not give both light and air. Vio- lets resent coddling, and air should be given freely whenever the outside tenn perature allows If the thermometer registers several degrees below freezing, even ill midwinter, the sun warns the frames sufficiently to permit moderate amount of air being admitted Violets ill frames make much more work than when they ale grown in houses, and the flowers arc less convenient to pick, but the quality of blooms is as good in all kinds, and much better in some par ticularly the single varieties. The flow ering season, too, IS little longer than with those grown in artificial heat. - Garden and Forest

Private English Ghosts.


 The ghost of Knaresdale Hall, near HaltWhistle. ill Northumberland was a steady belief not very, very long ago. In this ease brother murdered an inconyen- tent sister by drowning her ill a pond, and the lady revenged herself by walk ing from tho house to the pond upon ev- cry occasion that member of the fam fly happened to be about after dark. But if ono were to enumerate what may be termed the ''private ghosts" of Eng land and Wales, the walking ladies and gentlemen who, having been melodies during their lives, are determined that something more than the mere epitaphs over their graves shall keep their mem ories green, the limits of this paper would Do very far exceeded. The very house ill which the author of the paper is writing is well known by the villa gers to have white lady on it's upper most stair landing, a discovery which very much unhinged some American visitors, who declared that if they had known it nothing would have induced them to sleep So soundly ill rooms abut- ting on the said landing during three months. But who she was history say eth not. Chambers Journal.

Mrs. RilIinetnn


 Students of tho musical history If +bo close of the eighteenth century are ia mlliar with the name of Mrs. Billino- ton. For some 30 years, at Il time when the art of singing was perhaps at it's zenith, she reigaed as one of the hriaht particular stars of the musical world Sir Joshua immortalized her as. St Ca. cllla, and in the fulsome fashion of the day ltvas said that instead of represent Ing her as listening to the angels he should have painted the angels as silent before her. Michael Kelly. the pupil of Mozart, said of her, .'I thought her an angel ln beauty and the St. Cecilia of song, and Haydn naively recorded in hls diary, "Sho is great genius, and all the women hate her because she is beautiful. Her history is very cnrions. and the brilliancy of her career as an artist IS m strange contrast to the scan dals which surrounded hor from her very childhood.
 The Georgian era was not period remarkable for morality, on or off the stage but making every allowance for the eTagseration of newspaper gossip, it is Impossible 10 como to the conclusion that the life af Mrs Ellington was re- markable for it's virtue, even if the darker accusations which were freely brought against her are untrue. It says much for her personal charm that she remained f1om first to last favorite with the public, and her fascination as singer enabled her to triumph over difficulties which, even in thoso days, would havo wrecked ,ho career of a less popular artist.

 Move AInnY.

The Indian view of the way in Which he has been treated by the white man in this country was well given in an aneedote related by Professor Eli colt Evans of Hamilton college The lannon's Indian chief Red Jacket once met MT. Evans aranduncle. Joseph FL llcott, at Tonawanda, Niagara county. MT. Ellicott at that time was agent of the Holland Land company, which own ed most of the land in what was later known as tie Eighth Judicial district of New York.
 The two men shook hands and sat down on Q convenient log, both being near the middle of it. After short time spent ill amicable conversation, Red Jacket said pleasantly, "Move along Joe
 Mr. Ellicett did as ho had been re- quested, and the chief moved up close to him In few minutes came a second request, Movo along, Joe. "
 Again AIr. Ellicott complied, though with considerable surprise, and again the chief followed him closely Scarcely had this been done when Red Jacket again said, Move along, Joe. ''
 MT. Ellieott was greatly annoyed, but willing to humor the chief he moved along once more, this time reaching the end of the log.
 This Was not sufficient to satisfy the chief, however, for moment later came the fourth request "Move along Joe. ,
 Why, man, cried the agent irrita- bly, 1 can't move any farther without getting oft the log into the mud P

A Pleasant Surprise.

Even Saxon courtesy and readiness to oblige may be carried little too far. When abaut to return from Bohemian village to frontier town ill Saxony, the occupants of a sledge had their foot warmers carefully rinsed out and re- plenished with full bodied Hungarian wine. Thus they passed the guardpost without let or hindrance, to the merry jingling of the sleighbells Laughing and joking at the success of their little dodge. they called at wayside inn for refreshments. On resuming their seats one of the party exclaimed
 Why. the foot warmers are quito hot P
 Then the boots of the inn stepped for ward, and said. with q friendly grin, fsThe foot warmers were quite cold, SO, just to oblige you, emptied them and filled them again with hot water. "- Daheim- kalendcr.

Hose NTrch Do Dogs Knowq

This Is rather difficult question to answer. A dog about 3 years old is no doubt wiser far than q child double that age. At ( dog is i'll his zenith, and can Ec taught but little more, but by this time, although hocannot speak, OK eept in a kind of dumb language, he knows everything that is said about him that is, if ho has been the constant companion of kind master and mis- tress. We are too loath to admit that q dog ean understand quite deal that is spoken, especially if it eoneerns himself. l am sure that, like myself, many of my readers could send me anecdotes in proof of this. The following Is sent lne by a lady. It is worth reading:
 My husband had at one time a very fine collie, which seemed to understand conversation perfectly. On one occasion he told his honsekeeper that he was go- ing to ridenext day to his father place, 30 miles away, and, turning to his dog, said, You will stay at home Next morning the dog was not to bo seen, and when his master arrived at his destina- tion the dog had got there first, and was peacefully resting under table The strangest thing was that the dog was taken to my husbands homo by rail, aHd had never travelled on foot between the two places. = Edinburgh Scotch man

4 Practical Joke.

Numes Of the Gaito theater in Paris one night played trick on Roumain, his fellow actor, which created no little amusement. In one of the scenes in the third act ef the "Charbonniore. ' Rou- main, after standing awhile i'll dumb despair with his hands to his face, sud denly turns toward the audience, dis playing his pale, haggard features. To produce the degree of "pallidness re- quired, Roumain carried in his pockets a quantity of white face powder, which lie rubbed on the palms of his hands when the proper time had arrived. Now, Numes had secretly removed the white powder and substituted hand ful of charcoal dust. You can imagine the result. The spectators laughed till they were blue in the face But Rou- main swore vengeance-dire vengeance and some of these days we may ex- pect to hear of another pleasant even ing" but at Nume's expeuse this time -Libre Parole.
