Island Butter.

There is butter and there is
butter but there is no butter that
arrives in Honolulu so sweet and
fresh as the Mikilua and Waianae
Butter. Its rapid transit by rail
direct from the dairy to the Pala-
ma Grocery's large ice box so
conveniently situated opposite the
railway depot enables us to
handle it to the best advantage.
No wonder we are doing such a
large butter business, when we
are selling this fine butter at 35c.

IN A STRANGE COFFIN.
A workman Buried in Twelve Tons
OF steel,

or steel.
One of the strangest collins ever
told of is that for which the Bri-
tish War Department is said to be
responsible. The story is that a
workman engaged in casting metal
for the manufacture of ordnance
in the Woolwich arsenal lost his
balance and fell into a caldron
containing twelve tons of molten
steel.
The metal was at white heat,
and the man was utterly consum-
ed in less time than it takes to tell
it. The War Department. sa.hori-
ties held conference and decided
not to profane the dead by using
the metal in the manufacture of
ordnance, and the mass of metal
WAS actually buried aud a Church
of England clergyman read the
services for the dead over it.-Cur-

work Of tho British Commission
Begins at Home.
A late London cable letter an.
nounced that the British commits.
sion to examine into the depres-
sion in the West Indian sugar
industry was about to take steam
or for Demerara. "The commits
sion," it was said, "bas already
taken the evidence of Neville
Lubbock, Mr.. Alstone and other
representatives of the West In
dian traders. The leading recon-
mendation made by all the wit
nesses thus far examined has been
in favor of contraventing duties,
paid to the continental makers
of beet. root sugar in the event OF its
being impossible to arrive at
an agreement with the bounty
paying nations to abolis b the
bounties. Statistics placed before
the commission show that, while
the population of the British West
Indies increases at the rate of a.
600 annually, the sugar exports
have fallen 25 per cent in fourteen
years.
"The French sugar planters in
Martinique and Guadaloupe are
in as bad plight as those in the
British colonies. They have
memorialized the French Govern.
ment to the effect that the French
colonial sugar industry is on the
verge of utter ruin, and they de-
mand that, against the home boun-
| ty system, they shall be allowed a
grant of five francs on every hun

UNITED BY WHTSKEY.

An amusing story is told in connection with a conference that occurred on the line of the Illinois Central railroad be- tween representatives of the Mississippi and Louisiana boards of health while the fever was running high. Two trains bearing the officials of both states met at lonely side-track and the Mississippians informed the Louis- ianians that the conference must be held at a distance of sixty feet. This was agreed to, and the barley proceed ed, the distance between the parties be- ing strictly observed. In the course of the talk on health matters, which is a rather dry subject, some one on the Louisiana side produced a bottle of whisky, took a swig and passed it to his comrades, who repeated the operation. The Mississippians saw what was going on, smacked their lips and boldly ad- vanced ten feet. Once more the bottle passed from Louisianian to Louisianian. This was more than the Mississippians could stand, and they pushed their line forward twenty feet more, faltered, and then charged with a whoop. In less time than it takes to tell it Mississippi and Louisiana were clasped in each others embrace and the latter, appreci- ating the formers capacity, produced several bottles, and nobody thought about germs. We relate this pleasant little story merely to show that John Barleycorn is a power, and can con- quer even the fear of yellow fever.- New Orleans States.

wanted. He checked Up the business, packed up the money-order blanks, the advice blanks, the special department envelopes, and putting the office stamp in his pocket he went into the store, and officially declared to the people present that the money -order depart ment of the Noroton Heights postoffice was discontinued and closed.
 The postmaster shook hands with him, thanked him and bade him good bye. Harris caught the first train for New York. He spent the next twenty four hours in room in the Grand Central hotel, diligently employed. He filled out the money orders, making them payable to himself, and forward ed the advices to fifteen different post offices between New York and Chicago.
 Harris made out forty or fifty mon- ey orders, each calling for $1CO-the highest amount for which a single or der can be drawn-and in all the ad- vices he inserted the clause waiving
 Identification. He forwarded the or
 ders in department envelopes and then
 started out to collect them.
 The offices on which he had drawn
 the money orders were sprinkled on
 the map In every state from Connecti-
 cut to Illinois, including such points at Fort Wayne and Valparaiso, Ind Decatur, Peoria, Joliet and LaSalle III.
 Five days after his disappearance from Noroton Heights Harris walked ! into the postoffice at LaSalle, H., and
 presented two money orders calling for
 $100 each.
 The postmaster had only money enough on hand to pay one of them Harris remained in LaSalle until noor the next day before he could get the
 money for the second order. Almost at the same hour Chief In spector Stuart of the Chicago postof1ict | was notified of the swindle that ha6 been perpetrated upon the credulous postmaster at Noroton Heights. Stuart immediately telegraphed tt the money-ordef office in his division
 and asked if any advices had been re
 ceived from Noroton Heights. The wires were soon hot with message from various points stating that mon ey orders from the office named had been cashed the day before Stuart l took the fast train for LaSalle, learn. ed all the facts he could, obtained z | descrition of the criminal and ther put the secret service men on the hum l for him.
 Harris walks with slight hitch ol l limp and the department added to its description of him, "One of his legs il e,Io hop 1,oi l Every ex-employe of the postal de partment who was afflicted with z
 short or game leg was hunted up
 It was learned that man with "s | limp had formerly been chief clerl at Station L in New York. He coult
 not be found. The description tallieC | exactly.
 Harris was finally captured at Buf | falo while in the act of passing othe i forged money orders.

LEROY HARRIS GAME.

His Far-Reaching Forgeries-Began
 His Operations at Noroton Heights.
 In the criminal history of this coun- try there are few parallels to the case of Leroy Harris, prisoner who was Monday released from the Joliet pris- On
 Harris was the originator of novel scheme for swindling the postoffices of the country, which was so skilfully carried out that he had obtained $4,000 of Uncle Sam's money before any one knew a cent was missing.
 Harris belongs in New York. He visited the little village of Noroton Heights, Conn.,, where a credulous gen. eral storekeeper was also postmaster.
 Harris told the postmaster that he was an inspector of the money-order division, and exhibited several official looking documents to prove that what he said was true.
 The purpose of his visit, he said, was to close up the money-order DOT tion of the Noroton Heights postof- flee.
 The storekeeper was very busy that day and doing rushing trade in gro- ceries and calico. He said it was a matter of indifference to him whether the money-order part of his office was closed up or not, as the remuneration was small, and it was "dod-gasted'' nuisance anyhow. He could not spare the time from his mercantile business to check up with the inspector. So he invited Harris into the office and told him to do 1t himself
 This was the very thing that Harris
