On the seventeenth day of October,

tiles for the payment Of about SoOOO,OO

at their bank. October 18th, 1892, the

made an attachment levy on nearly all
of the property transferred the previous
day TO w S. Turck q Co The attach

Shortly after, Gerrit ). Ward was ap-
pointed by the court receiver of al of
the assets covered by said securities and
levy, and he was directed TO continue
the numbering operations under certain
contracts which the said Bradley had
made to cut the timber Oh some 500
acres of land in Isabella county affected
by said foreclosure
The receiver closed up said business
and accounted TO the court, and the Old
| National Bank filed an answer to said
bill and claimed priority of lien on all OF
said assets, and the proceeds of the
numbering operations III the hands OF
the receiver. The matter was brought
on regularly to be heard before Judge
Daboll on the first day of the present
term of court 1t was bitterly contested
for two days.
In an opinion handed down Monday
Judge Daboll sustains every contention

uniustly. Mr.. Cameron claimed to
have purchased of Mr. Wright stock in

stock Mr.. Wright refused TO deliver be-
cause he had never sold it, Mr. Cam
cron sued Mr.. Wright in New York,

come to trial Mr.. Wright informed
him that he had "not a cent for tribute, u
but plenty for defense.

An effort is again being made to
preserve the old frigate "Constitu-

for herself in the war of 1912. She
was the vessel that captured the

An appeal from Charles Francis Adams
and several other prominent citizens
of Boston, has been made to the Sen
ate to make some provision to save the
frigate. At the present time she,
along with the Hartford, lies rotting
in the Portsmouth Navy Yard. 1t is
well to keep up the traditions of the
past. Nelson's ship, the Victory" is

According to a report of the pro-

of days ago Professor Scott fell foul
of the gentlemen of the Press. He says
they don't write good English. There
may be some truth in his remark.
Sometimes the Press has to employ
people who have not had the advant-
ages that Professor Scott has had.
But as lule, if their English is not
up to the Professors classic standard,
it has that Doric simplicity which goes
to the hearts of the people, and which
is worth a thousand of tropes and
bubbles of the schools A slang phrase

ex-Queen Liliuokalani. Probably IL
ever words were more insincere they
would be hard to find. Cleveland
could not have been glad to meet the
ex-Queen, for his policy, based on the
crude and eX parte statements of
Blount and the snap judgment of
Gresham, had involved him in any
thing but happy combination of cir
liuokalani must recall to him some of
the most unpleasant moments of his
Presidential career. OF course the in
terview has given the comic papers an
opportunity which they have not been
slow to take advantage of.
The result of the interview is nil.
Had it been an interview between the
ex-Queen and President-elect McKin-
ley it. would have had some political
significance. AS it is the interview
can be regarded as a bit of work got
up by julius Palmer to advertise him
self under the wing of the ex-Queen.
He is welcome to the title which the
Associated Press kilograms give him
"The American friend of the Queen"
Mrs. Cleveland does not appear to
have had much interest in the inter-
view, for when the President sent for
her she had gone out walking a few
minutes before"
In point of fact the visit was an
awkward one. President Cleveland
showed the tact of gentleman, but
at the same time rebuked the forward
ness of those who thrust the eX-Queen
upon him at an inconvenient time. In
this there is no slur upon the eX-
Queen. 1t is her unwise and undiplo-
matte friends who have put her in the
position of getting decided snub All
the Presidents geniality cannot get
over the fact that Mrs. Cleveland had
gone out walking a few minutes be-
fore"

Plantation owners and man
ayers of plantations of to-day
have to look forward-to keep
keep in touch with the adj
vanced utensils necessary for
their use, and whatever will
do the most work in a given
time is an investment that is
not an expense.
We have anticipated their
wants by placing on our
shelves a large assortment of
the Hawaiian Special" Alu-
minum Cane Knives. The adj
vantage of using this new and
universally adopted metal in
the manufacture of cane
knives can be seen at glance.
In English Razors we have
the Wade and Butcher make,
and the George Wosten-
holm make. These two rep
resent the best to be had.
1t is only a matter of choice
with the purchaser.
The Green River Butcher
Knives, made by the John
Russell Company, are the best
on the market.
Seymour's Scissors are very
highly tempered and keep
their edge. That's why they
find such a ready sale. We
carry a large assortment OF
Bankers, Tailors and Bar bers
Shears. Hair and Horse Clip
pers, all of the very best and
we'll known makes.

The words of Mr.. Cecil Brown last
night had ring in them of conviction.
He frankly confessed that six years
ago he was no annexationist, but that
now he saw no other safety for Ha-
waii and the institutions that the
Anglo Saxon has built up here. Mr..
Brown represents large interests upon
the Islands and is connected intimate
ly with dyed-in-the-wool Royalist fam
lilies, His speech is therefore very sig
nifcant. The AnneXationist cause is
booming. No one who has the best
interests of the country at heart can
take any other view. OF course there
are those who hope to get places under
the Monarchy, and there are those
who desire the Neroian pleasures of
the fifties. But these things will
never return. Hawaii has started upon
a career of progress and its ultimate
aim is annexation to the Great Repub-

in this instance is not the only
essential; quality plays an i'm

You can fill a dish with
peas, but if they are not of
good quality they will remain
full. We are now selling
genuine Petit Pois in one and
two-pound tins that are re-
markedly good, and cheap.
Another delicacy is Pre-
served Mushrooms-new here
and we are selling them to
people who regard good din
ner as a requisite to happiness
on this earth. Black English
Mushrooms, and many French
Mushrooms 60 a long way to-
ward filling a man out around

Another trife worth think

jagged Hare. Where is the
Briton who would not 60 a
long distance for a lunch where
jagged Hare is one of the
courses?
We have a store full of such
things-too many varieties to
mention in week. Pickles Of
