voiced the sentiments Of all the delegates
when no said in his opening address,:
Our effort now is to bring the funeral to as
near n stage of absolute simplicity as possible.
We are doing away with the long Grape wells
which used to hang from the hats OF tho pail
bearers. Many OF us have banished tho white
dull blacks and whites in funeral ,trappings.
casket trimmings are being made IN all the moro

Complicated but Lctter-Psrrect Instrunicnt.
Since the typewriter has made for itself as
firm n place in modern life rs the cook stove,
tho sowing machine, or the bicycles, numerous
attempts have been made by inventors to devise
a practicable machine which would write words
at one stroke instead Of single letters. Much
clever work has been done in this direction, but
as yet there Is no machine In tho market which
will accomplish the work.
Early in tho history of the typewriter there
were also many schemes for making machines
which would do stenographic work. Some of
these were embodied in metal, and others got
only as far as drawings. which may or may not
have reached tho Patent Office. Others still

MIR. Anderson says he had made three or four
OF his machines and put them in use in business
offices in this city. and that girls who have been
operating them only u short time are now able to
write more than 100 words a minute. 1t will be
evident to any one that one great advantage
which such shorthand notes have over tho ordi-

might be kept busy writing out letters which
one operator on the shorthand machine could
take notes for.

SCHEME STILL IN THE Wind
PROPOSED AMALGAMATION OF
FOUR HARDWARE CONCERNS.
Deemed Advisable in View of Coming
of Annexation-Would be Great
Benefit to the Public.

The proposed amalgamation of the
big hardware establishments of Cas-
tie d Cooke, +. o. Hall & Son, the
Pacific Hardware Company and the
Hawaiian Hardware Company, is still
in the wind. Nothing has been accom-
plished as yet although the scheme is
still in existence.
There seems to be an erroneous inn
preston on the streets concerning the
matter 1t is not proposed to consol-
idate into one powerful concern to
crush all opposition and raise prices
on hardware goods.
The scheme was suggested in view
of the coming of annexation. BY the
amalgamation these houses would
be enabled to compete against the
Coast establishments who will un-
doubtedfy put in branch houses in
Honolulu.
The public would be greatly bene-
fitted by consolidation, as it would en-
able them to secure the best goods at
the cheapest prices. This would be
brought about by reason of the de-
crease in running expenses and the
ability to buy the best goods in the
worlds markets at the lowest prices.

BUSINESS BLOCK FOR HNO TRACK GREATLYIAP20VD.
WAKEFIELD TO PUT UP A $4,000
BUILDING.
Stores and Office Suits-Local Lumber
Yards Hard Pressed-Progress
Made on Many New Structures.

Hilo is to have another business
block. the plans for which have just
beef completed by Howard & Train,
the architects of this city. +. NJ.
Wakefield is to be the owner, and he
has confidence enough in the future
prosperity of Hilo to put $4,000 into
the venture.
The new building is to be a two
story frame structure and is to rest
upon n fine corner lot at the intersec-
ton of Waianuenue and Bridge
streets. The structure is to be S6X60
feet on the ground plan, making room
on the lower floor for four large
stores. Several fine suites of offices
will occupy the upper floor. The new
building is to be made of the best of
timber, protected as far as possible
against fire, and will be well finished,
inside and out.
Orders have been received by the
architects to rush the details, as the
structure is to be put. up as soon as
possible, to meet the demands of ex-
panding trade. 1t is said that tenants
are waiting for the completion of the
building. Ma
Local building operations are as
ever. Despite the numerous cargoes
of lumber arriving from the Coast the
yards have had hard time to keep
up stock. A great deal of lumber is
being shipped to the other islands,
but the most of it is being used at
home. Many small houses are being
put up in all parts of the city. Ship
ments by rail are also heavy.
The proposed water front building
building will become a reality as
soon as the land can be secured for
the building from the government. 1t
will be a handsome structure of brick
and stone, and is to cost about $4,000.
The Progress block will be under
cover in another four weeks. The
third floor has been laid, and the walls
are up ready for the roofing. AS the
roof is to be dome shaped, it will re-
quire great deal of care and time to
complete it. The building will be
donesat least a4month ahead of the
contract time.
Davies q Co.'s new warehouse on
the new made ground mauka of the
Pacific Mail dock is nearing compile
ton. The walls are all up and the
carpenters are now at work on the
roof.

building. on Queen street, is COM
