The plated spoons and
forks made by the Holmes
& Edwards Silver Company,
cannot be distinguished from
solid silver, except in weight.
The patterns are identical
with the solid goods, and the
bowls and handles are rein
forced with sterling silver,
SO that those parts of the
spoons which come in con-
tact with the table are well
protected and will last as
long as solid ware. Every
piece sold by us is guaran-
teed by the manufacturers,
by this certificate:
eve guarantee these goods in ordinary
family service to wear Twenty-Five Years,
and in hotels from Ten to Fifteen Years.
We also agree to accept as half payment,
such goods as show wear during next five
years after the term Of guarantee, if o.her-
wise in good order
In buying these inlaid
goods you practically have
the use of them for thirty
years at half what you origi-
nally pay for them. No other
manufacturers give such a
guarantee; no. other manu-
facturer can afford to.
We believe we have the
largest stock of cutlery in
Honolulu, and it is from the
best English and American
manufacturers - they make
good knives in the United
StateS--and our prices are
low. The best makers are
using grained celluloid as a
substitute for ivory handles
and the effect is very pretty.
Bone handles turn yellow,
the celluloid limitations do
not. The price is in favor
of bone handles, if cheap
ness is the object.

New York, Jan. A special from
Washington says: Is General Weyler
to be succeeded as governor general of
Cuba? There are good reasons for
giving an affirmative reply to this
question, and for saying that that Off
GERS days as director in chief of Gu
ban affairs are numbered. Recent
proofs from Madrid have minated
that Prime Minister Canovas. certain
members of the cabinet and some lead
ing Spanish papers. are dissatisfied
with Weyler's court in Cuba. The gen.
eral has accomplished too little as a
soldier to please the authorities and
press at Madrid.
The intimation made that Weyler is
to be called home is not based so much
upon what is being said in Madrid as
upon a report made TO the state de-
partment by Minister Taylor. Cen
orally that which Mr.. Taylor commu-
nicateS TO Secretary Olney is held in
such strict confidence that little intel
ligence he conveys reaches the public.
Information has, however, sifted
through official sources that Mr.. Tay-
lor has informed the secretary of state
that General Weyler is likely to be
relieved of his command at an early
date, and that his successor has been
practically decided upon.
Minister Taylor informed Secretary
Olney several days ago that the au-
thorities at Madrid were on the point
of relieving General Weyler of his
command in Cuba and appointing as
his successor Captain General Primo
de Rivera. Reasons were given in
brief why a change was deemed adj
visable and a statement was made as
to the probable time when the orders
would be promulgated. 1t is learned
that the Madrid government is dis
pleased at the fact that General Wey-
Ter. with about 100000 troops, has not
put down the Cuban revolt. He has
expended large sums of money, but so
far has made no decided Roadway in
accomplishing his main Object-that OF
quelling the insurrectiOn and restOr-
ing peace and good order. His troops
have been victorious on occasions, but
they have also met defeat, and the
total result, considering Spains outlay
in life and treasure, is far from salts
factory. Too much has been expected
of Weyler. just as the action was too
great in the case of General CampOs
Still the one great requirement-suc-
cess-has not been fulfilled, and Weyler
has consequently fell in official esteem
in Madrid.

Death of Mrs. Dodge.

Announcement was made yesterday
at the western offices of the death of
Mrs. D. C. Dodge, wife of President
D. c. Dodge, of the Rio Grande West
ern. The departure of this estimable
woman had not been unexpected as she
has been for years an acute sufferer
from cancer of the stomach. Mrs.
Dodge departed from life about 5
o'clock Saturday evening after the
colonel had been prepared for the worst
phase by attending physicians. Mrs.
Dodge was about 50 years of age. AS
a mark of respect the general offices of
the road will be closed from noon for
the balance of today. General Pas
senger Agent Wadleigh, Traffic Man

MISSISSIPPI ON A TEAR.
RISE OF Is 1-2 FEET IN TWEEN
TY-FOUR HOURS.
Missouri Is Also Taking on Pro-
digious Proportions, and Much
Damage Is Anticipated-other
Streams on a Tear.

st. Louis, Jan. AT noon yesterday
the official measurement of the rivers
depth was given at feet 6 inches; at
6 o'clock this evening it was "A feet,
being a rise of 151s feet in SO hours.
This enormous rise is accounted for by
the dispatches from every quarter re-
cording heavy and continuous rains be-
ginning Saturday noon. The danger
line for high water is 90 feet, but the
worst is believed to be over, as a
freezing blizzard began with sunrise
today and cut off the volume of water
from small streams.
The most serious reports come from
western Missouri, Kansas and the In
dian Territory. All the streams in
western Missouri were swelling the
Missouri up to midnight last night,
when the cold wave began.
At ST. Joseph the thermometer
dropped from IS above to Is above.
At Great Bend and vicinity in Kan
sas, the blizzard followed numerous
Washouts on the railroads and business
is impeded
A dispatch from Purcell, I. T., says:
THE south Canadian river is now
higher than it has been for a number of
years. The Blue Goose saloon, watch
was situated on the edge of the river
was turned over in the night and this
morning on either bank witnessed a
horrible sight. Six men were in the
house at the time, and they had all
lodged on a log which had become
fastened in the river and aid could not
be furnished from this side of the river
They were rescued about noon by
parties in Oklahoma. The men were
in the cold and water for over u hours.

SIR JOSEPH HIcKsoN DEAD.
Formerly General Manager of the
Canadian Grand Trunk Line.


Canadian Grand Trunk Line.
Montreal. Jan. 4.-Sir Joseph Hick-
son, ex-generaI manager of the Grand
Trunk railway, of Canada, died at
1920 this forenoon. Sir Joseph had
been confined to his house for some
months but it was not generally
known he was suffering from a fatal
malady. His ailment was diabetes,
which induced a general breakup of
the system. Sir Joseph Hickson was
born in England &c years ago. He
came to Canada in 1851 and steadily
worked his way from the post of ac-
countant to the general manager OF
the road, the latter Office being as
sumed in 1874, and he retained it until
1891. when he retired. He was knighted
in the year of mis- retirement.
Sir Joseph was one of the members
of the government commission on pro-
hibition, for which he took evidence
all over Canada in 1872, and was also
connected with many local enterprises
and charities. He amassed considera-
BILE wealth.
Sir Joseph married Miss Dow, daugh-
ter of Andrew Dow. the well-known
brewer. and leaves six children, who,
with his widow. survive him.
The death of Sir Joseph occasions
deep regret here and flags are flying at
half mast all over the city in his
honor.

Baltimore, Jan. 4.-Richard D. Cornelius,
one of the oldest and best known bank
cashiers of this city, committed suicide
today. His body was found in the duck
pond in Druid Hill park, just few hours
after the shortage of $4,000 had been dis
covered in his accounts at the National
Farmers & Planters bank. Last Satur-
day, Bank Examiner Marshall Win
chester drew the attention of the Of
ficers of the bank to some Irregularities
in the accounts of an out-of-town insti-
tuition. This morning. Mr.. Cornelius
was asked to explain the Irregularities.
He did not attempt to do so, but abruptly
walked off. a closer examination of his
accounts disclosed an apparent shortage
of $50, 000
When the officers of the bank learned
that the cashier had left the building.
they telephoned to Smith. Weston &
Lyon. the detectives, to hunt him up.
MI Weston traced the defaulter to
Druid Hill park. and thence to the duck
pond. There they found his body float
ing in three feet of water. The man had
evidently held himself to the bottom of
the pond by the weeds that grow there.
Mr.. Cornelius was about SO years of
age, and had been connected with the Ma
tional Farmers & Planters bank for
over q years. He was close friend OF
the late EnOch Pratt, who was president
of the bank for almost half a century. >
In religious circles Mr.. Cornelius was
almost as prominent as in banking cir
Giles. His tragic end was the sole topic
of conversation in down town circles this
afternoon. Hundreds of his friends re-
fused to believe that he was either de-
faulter or a suicide. The matter caused
more excitement in the banking district
than any other event in years.
For many years, Mr.. Cornelius had
been very prominent in MethOdism, and
at the time of his death was local
preacher of the Baltimore conference,
member of the official board of the
Madison Avenue church. He attended
divine worship twice yesterday.
The National Farmers & Planters
bank is one of the oldest and considered
one of the strongest in the city.

MACEO AND GOMEZ.
Tt Is Believed They Are Planning
the Campaign.

the Campaign.
Chicago, Jan. "A Kansas City
special says:
Thomas Lovelace, second lieutenant
of the SOledad, which was wrecked
off the north coast of America last
October, is spending a few days here
with his mother. LOvelace spent three
days at Havana, and has just returned
from Cuba. In an interview yesterday
ne said:
Il am convinced that Maceo is not
dead. In my opinion, the story of his
death was promulgated by the in
surgents themselves.
THE Vamoose, that sailed from New
York and is at present detained at
Key West, can make IS knots an hour,
and 1 have some pretty reliable in
formation that her object was to con-
vey Maceo 10 the other side of the
island. where ne might join Gomez and
the two plan the campaign together
[ have not the slightest doubt, in fact,
that Maceo is recovering from his
wounds. The insurgents will take no
aggressive action until his complete
recovery"
Continuing. Lovelace said: I'm three
DAYS at Havana I saw IS insurgents
executed on a sand bar near the shin
They stood the prisoners up in squads
of eight or ten, and then one soldier
was selected to pick them off one at
a time. just as though they were
shooting rabbits.
The prisoners were in all sorts of
attitudes, while the shooting was going
on Some were kneeling in prayer,
others were standing erect But none
of them showed any signs OF fear. The
prisoners ranged in age from boys who
could not have been over IS to gray
headed men. None of the executions
lasted long. l saw one squad of the
men shot down in about 10 minutes.
At one time 1 saw three officers of the
insurgents executed and they were al
lowed a volley from ten soldiers"

at Devils Lake, Too.

Devils Lake, N. D. Jan. 4.-The
Merchants National bank did not open
its doors this morning. The notice
posted was: Bank closed awaiting
the action of the comptroller" A
number of depositors withdrew their
money Saturday. The county deposit
of $4,000 would probably have been
called for, today, when the new treas
urer took charge. This, together with
the prospect of a general run and the
non-aIrival of a train owing to the
blizzard with additional currency from
the east, probably caused the decision
of Cashier Wemple not to open the
doors. The last statement, Dec. II,
showed deposits of $4,000; bills pay
able, $500, and discounts, stocks and
securities $4,000. Cash on hand, $1,000.

NEBRASKA'S BLIZZARD.
CONTINUES IN THE NEIGHBoR-
HOOD OF OMAHA.
Snow and Wind Play Havoc With
the Trains and Telegraph Wires
All the Railways Badly I'm
peded.

Omaha, Jan. 4-The blizzard which
visited this city Sunday still continues,
and while comparatively little snow
has fallen, the wind drifts that which
has fallen and impedes traffic. Snow
plows and road scraDers have been
constantly on the go all day. The
thermometer has ranged from zero to
degrees above. The weather reports
to the railroads show heavy snow and
winds at every station in the state.
The snowstorm and wind have played
havoc with trains. The Chicago, ST
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha is blocked
north of Blair and no trains came in
from Sioux City or went up there to-
day over that road. The Sioux City
trains came down on the Iowa side
of the river over the Sioux City & Pa
cific road.
The Union Pacific branch trains
were running, but all main line trains
were late this afternoon.
Eastern. western and southern trains
arrived from 10 to 40 minutes late.
Rock Island trains from Denver were
laid out by the snow, and a stub train
went east this afternoon from Omaha.
Telegraph wires are working very
badly throughout the west and east,
as well as north, each road doing
nearly all its business over one wire.
The Union Pacific snow Dlows are
breaking a way over the Columbus
and Grand Island branches.
Reports from Huron and other points
in South Dakota show Is inches of
snow A special to the World Herald
from Vermillion, s. D., states that the
wind has drifted the snow from ten to
twenty feet in places. Three stockmen
are reported to have been frozen to
death seven miles northwest of Mel
son, Neb. Freight trains are stalled
on the Elkhorn branch west of Nor
folk. Neb., and on the Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha between
Norfolk and Winside, Neb.

Mason City, Ia, Jan. 4.-The First
City bank of Nora Springs has failed.
1t was a state bank and the business
conducted by the institution was small
and. therefore, there is not much i'm
portance attached to the failure. Ex-

that General MaceO is still alive.
