A LITTLE LATE.

Vienna, March 2.-The powers have agreed to present their demand to Greece in. two notes. The first of these notes will demand that Greece evacuate Crete within six days and the second will con vey an intimation that the powers will re- sort to coercive measures if not com piled with.

It Is reported by the governor of Selino that a massacre at Kandamo is imminent. The place is within two hours of the sea.

Tariff
Vagaries.

In the United States the Government
allows rebate to the manufacturers
on all agate ware shipped out of the
country. 1t is one of the fine points
in the tariff question, and enables the
foreign importer to compete with the
dealers in the United States in the sale
of these articles. 1t makes it posi-
bic for our customers to buy such
goods from us at lower prices than
they can buy them in San Francisco.
The appended list shows but few of
the articles in this line sold by us,
and where more than one price is CIV
EN- it will be understood that the
price is graded with the different sizes
of the articles. In every instance you
will observe, that our prices are much
lower than the same goods may be
bought for at the Coast. These prices
are taken from the catalogue of one of
the largest House Furnishing Goods
dealers in San Francisco. 1t is bona
fide, and the goods are identical in
quality as those advertised in the cat
alogue. 1t is hard to believe that the
people of Honolulu. 100 miles from
San Francisco-can buy such goods
for less money.

OF course everybody knows that the
Aermotor is the best mill made, and
has had actual demonstration in many
ways since its introduction into the
Hawaiian Islands. We handle these
mills in s, 10, ~, IA, 16 inch gears and
pumping styles.
The Geared Rermotor is distinct
creation built to meet all the require
ments of motive power. No pains
have been spared to make it as per-
feet as possible.
It Grinds Grain, Cuts Feed, Shells
Corn, Saws Wood and Drives Machine
ry of all kinds. The IL foot Aermotor
that will, in fair wind, easily do the
work of two horses, and will drive
satisfactorily any machine that can
be operated by two horses,
We are now placing at honolulu
and Kahulla Ranch aermotors recently
ordered. We have samples on exhibit
ton at our store and after a thorough
investigation of all other makes in
vite you to examine the Aermotor.
We do not fear the result.
Our stock of Aermotor pumps in
cludes various styles and sizes, all
warranted to throw strong and
constant force of water.
The Gould & Rough triple action
pumps we have spoken of before, so
will only add that these pumps may
be had from us in all designs.
AERMOTOR STOCK TANKS
Are made of galvanized corrugated
steel.
These tanks never leak, and there
no mudholes around them. They.ship
nested, and are just as sure to drive
the wooden tank out of existence as
the Aermotor was sure to drive the
wooden windmill out of existence az
its advent. There are many reasons
why this galvanized tank is the com
ing tank. 1t is light, the freight is
little, it is easy to handle, it requires
no setting up, it never leaks, and does
not dry up and fall down if all the wa
ter gets out of it; but of course when
an Aermotor is used, the water need
never get out of the tank. You know
the Aermotor runs with so little wind
that such things as a dry tank are
hardly eknown.

point of fact that on one side is
peace and prosperity, on the other
commercial and financial depression
aud ruin, with all the evils that
they bring in their train. And then
acknowledging all this one of their
number said yesterday what you
argue is true, but there are men on
the other side I dislike, and l am
quite willing to see the country
ruined If it will injure them" This
is the instance of great patriot. For
little personal animus he was quite
willing that his countrymen should
be impoverished and his country
ruined. Truly these are noble feel
ings which animate this sort of
royalist heart. AS has been said
again and again in these columns,
the little knot of noisy royalists are
purely selfish and care nothing for
the race they mouth about so much.

Some interesting statistics of the

and S52 Japanese, the rest scatter
ing among the different nationali-
ties. There are 363 British firms,
40 American, SO German, and 81
Japanese. The total number of
American and European firms was
672. This is really very small
number of firms to handle the
enormous volume of trade that
leaves the Chinese ports for the
countries of the West. 1t is note
worthy that in the year the Japan
csc firms have increased I35 per
cent, the American 20 per cent,
the British have remand practically
stationary, while the French show
slight decrease, and the Portu-
guese firms have decreased 1878 per
cent. All of which shows iudiCa-
tons of a change in commercial
relations in the East.

The Portuguese meeting Of last
evening showed one thing conclu-
sivelyy and that was that the Portu-
guese are in favor of annexation.
In spite of all that has been said by
agitators it is impossible for them
to prevent the Portuguese from
approaching the advantages which
must come to the colony through
annexation, or'from realizing what
will happen if we do not get annex
alton. There is no portion of the
community which will feel the pinch
sooner than the Portuguese if
annexation does not come. If
wages go down and employment is
hard to find, the Portuguese, who is
comfortable and we'll to do at pre-
sent, will be face to face with want.
If the Islands are prosperous the
Portuguese as we'll as other nation
alities will be prosperous, if failure
and bankruptcy come, those who
labor and have saved a little and
have pretty homes, will see all their
hopes vanish as dream, and will
have to seek elsewhere the pros
perity which they once knew here.
No wonder the Portuguese are an
nexationists.

wANTED-A sAFE-CRAcKER
The Bank Borrowing Money, While
Experts Chisel the Old Vault

Twenty-Five years ago Jimmy Hope,
John Hope and big Frank" Mccoy, three
of the most expert cracksmen and safe
blowers in the world, went from this
city to Trenton, N. j., with the idea of
Cracking" the safe of the Trenton
bank, which, even in those days, was
known to have large sums of money in
it's vault.
The three burglars spent a week get
ting into the bank building from house
which they rented next door, and the
better of one night, after they did get
into the bank, in trying to effect an en-
trance to the big, strong box. Dawn
and a Waterman found them still at
work, and the old safe intact. The
three burglars, weary and Disguised, re-
turned to this city, and the bank officials
chuckled in glee. They wrote letter
of thanks to Valentine & Butler, of this
city, who built the invulnerable safe.
The firm of Valentine & Butler long ago
ceased to exist.
But the conservative old Bank of
Trenton continued to do business at the
old stand with the old cafe, and now, af-
ter twenty-five years of good behavior,
the safe has gone back on the bank and
got it into no end of trouble. Not that
it has permitted itself to be plundered,
however. The trouble Is the safe closed
its doors on all the banks money on
Wednesday evening and positively re-
fused to open them again when the
cashier wanted to get at the funds at 10
o'clock Thunsday morning.
The herald., 1897-07-26

James Kerrigan, the safe-cracker OF
this city, was sent down to open the old
safe in response to the appeals OF the
bank officials, and after twenty-four
hours hard work he had to declare him
self beaten. Then foreman Michael
Josten Of the Diebold company, anothe.
man to whom most safes yield, was cent
down to try his hand. At 10 o'clock last
night both Kerrigan and Josten gave up
the job and wired to H. W. Beadle, ager.S
of the Diebold company that the only
way they could open that old safe would
be to chisel through the doors and cut
out the lock.
Meantime the Bank of Trenton did
business on money borrowed from the
other banks, and the officials are thank
ing their stars that the old safe didn't
go on strike twenty-four hours earlier
than it did. For Tuesday was the date
of settlement of semi-annual accounts,
and had not the books and funds been
available the bank would have been Sc
riously inconvenienced.
The directors of the bank of Trenton

Moral Tales

One cannot help wondering whether
there has not been an undue reaction
against the moral tale, and whether in
consequence the vast opportunity for
ethical training which is presented by
the child's first contact with the world
of letters is not now in a measure lost.
When all simple narrative is thrilling to
his unjaded taste, We need not fear that
he will be bored by even an obtrusive
taste alone which dislikes moral. Not
children only, but the mpler-minded
among adults, are apt to prefer such
things in literature as show clear right
to existence in what they teach; as
witness the immense, If transient, pop
ularity of E. p Roe's novels and Tup-
per's "Proverbial Philosophy"
A child will not unfrequently draw a
crude lesson of his own from a perfectly
idle tale, as if, without one, he found it
perplexing or incomplete. 1t is not i'm
possibly mistaken kindness which would
give nonsense verses to the exclusion of
Mary Had Little Lamb" and Harry
and the Guide-Post' Though my later
judgment somewhat recoils from Har-
ry); or nature studies and Greek myths
to the utter Punishment of Truthful
George and Needless Mary. What deep
delight what genuine potency, lie in
these humble tales for one can testify.
