Not GOOD HIsSerS.

Southern people arc not good hiss
ers. They are not praclised IN the
sibilnnt method of expressing dis
pleasure. Their hab;. of making an
unfavorable manifestation is the Dol
der one of making au Outory, of lift
lug up their voices and talking right
out III meeting. The hiss is an I'm
nortatiou in the South, which is COM
ing more into use, but it doesn't accord
with the Southern impulse, which is
to give a freer and franker vent to
feeling. The hiss Is serpeutIne. 1t is
a sly. subtitle, sinister expression which
eau be sounded by a person who sits
down on the small of hIs back unseen
by the audience aud without briging
the utterer into responsible prom-
uencc. 1t has peculiar Otlenslveness
because it can easily be made the ve-
hicle of covert venom or snimosity.
We hope It will not be adopted In
the South as means of msnifesting
Dissent or displeasure. Silence is
oftentimes a more effective rebuke
than an outburst, but if an audience
have need to sound its dissent or its
contempt the outspoken method Is
preferable to the hissing,-NsshVille

MAY HAVE ELECTRIC ROAD.
THOMAS CARTER WILL FIGURE
ON SYSTEM FOR HONOLULU.
Present Street Cars May Be Replaced
by Trolley Line-Visit of a Well
Known Builder.

Mr.. Thomas Carter, senior member
of the firm of Carter Brothers, of San
Francisco, manufacturers of passenger
and baggage cars, is in Honolulu to re-
main until the return of the Aus
tralia.
Mr.. Carter says that his trip to Ha-
waii is partly on business and pleas
ure combined.
During my stay in Honolulu" said
Mr.. Carter this morning, Il will take
occasion to look into the street car
system. 1t will be my aim to make
rough estimate of the cost of replac-
ing the present lines with a complete
and first class electric system. This
will be laid before the company of
English capitalists now operating the
line, with the hopes that they Will
take some favorable action in the mat
ter"
The San Francisco car builder re-
marked that he knew of the present
condition of things pertaining to the
Honolulu street car system. He had
already discovered that it would be
impossible to use the rails now in use
for an electric system as it is flange
rail. This might make the cost rather
high for the English company.
, He said that he would figure on.
what a new line could be put in for.
There is no company going to be
formed to promote the scheme but the
matter might be, if it was clearly
understood what money was needed to
carry out such an undertaking.

Dillingham; in Hawaiian enterprises.

MADAME T|NG[EY ARRIVES
ACKNOWLEDGED LEADER OF THE
AMERICAN THEOSOPHISTS.
Returning With Her Party From a
Crusade of the Entire World-Baby
Born On the Alameda at Sea.

Madam Tingley, the leader of the
Theosophical Society IN America. and
a small party of very prominent theos-
ophists, including Z. T. Hargrove,
President of the American, Indian and
Asiatic societies, are passengers on the
Alameda. They are homeward bound.
after a crusade around the world in
the interests of the society. They had
intended to make a brief stay in Homo
lulu, but cannot do so because they are
expected in California in time to at
tend the laying of the corner stone of
the new school to be established atSan
Diego, to be known as the school for
the Revival of the Lost Mysteries.
Madam Tingley talked very enter
tainingly of her trip around the world.
The party left New York on June 18th
last, and first visited Great Britain,
holding meetings in all the large cities
and towns of England Scotland and
portion of Ireland, and organizing
branches wherever opportunity Of
fered. The party then proceeded to
France, through Germany. Austria.
Holland, Italy, Greece and Egypt, into
India, thence to Australia and New
Ieaand, and are now in their way to
America, expecting to tour the States
and reach New York in time for the
annual convention. The crusade has
resulted in the establishment of eight
national societies and about twenty
five branches. The party has been
kindly received in every portion of the
world, has held almost daily meetings,
on ship board as well as on land, and
has preached the doctrine of brotherly
love to hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie in every land and in every tongue.
The society of which President Har-
grove is the head is known as the The
osophical Society of America, and
must not be confounded with the Ad-
var society, of which Col. Olcott is
president, and which also has it's head
quarters in New York The members
of Madam Tipgley's party of crusaders
are: Rev. w. Williams, Mr.. and Mrs. G.
+. Wright, Mrs. Cleather, f.. L. Har-
grove, II, I, Patterson and f, NJ.

Mr.. Pierce is the representative of
the school to be founded in California.
a site for the school has already been
selected at San Diego, and tempor-
airy building, now in course of cree
ton, will be completed within ninety
days. The permanent building is to
cost several hundred thousand dollars,
and the corner stone will be laid at
an early date.

The Veriscope to Be Placed on Exhi-
bition.

The Veriscope will be placed on eX-
hibition at the Hawaiian opera house
Friday evening February 5. 1t prom
ised to be one of the most interesting
sights ever seen in Honolulu. The
prives will be $1.00, 75c, soc, and csc.
In speaking of the Veriscope a coast
paper says:
1t is a wonderful advance in the
stereoscopic art. 1t projects pictures
upon a white screen, in which all the
figures are in motion with life-like de-
tail. The best picture was that of the
turnout of fire department. The
scene opens with street view, with
people walking, carts moving, cars
passing, etc. Presently down the street
comes hose cart at full speed, then
an engineers wagon, then a hook and
ladder truck, then the insurance
patrol, and lastly fire engine. The
latter pauses, the hose is coupled on,
steam got up, and streams of water
are thrown. The crowds gather, peo-
pie run hither and thither, teams pass,
some block the way, the police appear,
and there are seen all the usual Incl
dents of street fire drill. The eXhi-
bition of the wonderful yeriscope is
alone worth the evenings attendance.

SUGAR AND RICE.
Advices from San Francisco by the
Australia.

Williams, Dimond d Cos. circular,
in speaking about Kona coffee, says:
Very little has been done in this kind.
The two small parcels received on the
Goth inst, per Australia, were sold at
1sc to 1sHc, according to grade. One
lot being of better quality, was sold
for the latter figure. We quote price
at 1Sc to 1sHc.
Total receipts of foreign sugar at
San Francisco in 1896, 1S2,737 short
tons, of which 10000 tons were re-
ceived from the Hawaiian Islands.
Estimates of Beet and Cane crops
unchanged. Cuba crop estimated at
100000 tons. Cane fires continue there.
There are no indications of reduced
beet sowings. Arbuckle Bros. are
working night and day on the founda-
tions of the new Brooklyn Sugar Re-
fnery.
Hawaiian Rice-Market is dead.
There is very little call from the
country districts for the Island article
and jobbers will not buy until they
are entirely out. Importers are ask
ing 4Ac less 11a per cent for choice
lots, but as yet have been unable to
make sales. Louisiana Rice cannot be
laid down here under 4sc to 4Ac. 1t
is not SO much question of price with
Island rice, but there seems to be a
very light consumption at present.

The Pacific Cable Company, of
which General JamesA. Scrymser is
president, and J. Pierpont Morgan, j.
Kennedy Tod, Edmund L. Baylies, Geo.
s.. Bowdoin are directors, asks for no
exclusive franchise. 1t wants an an
nual subsidy of $4,000 and will under
take to establish Inter Island commun-
ication in addition to the Hawaiian
United States submarine cable within
three years, should the contract be OBJ
tanned and Congress act favorably on
the bill now pending before it. A Sc
curity of $4,000 will be deposited with
the home Government by the company
for the carrying out of it's contract.
The present prospects of a cable be-
ing laid to Hawaii are very bright.
The Spalding right with this Govern
ment will expire within the next half
year. From Washington comes the
news that the company which is most
likely to negotiate with by the United
States Government is the Pacific Cable
company.
Mr.. Hartwell's letter of withdrawal
reads:
Honolulu, Feb. 3, 1897.
Mr.. S. b. Dole, President of the Re-
public of Hawaii.
My Dear Sir:-I beg to inform you
that | Withdraw my application of
October 23rd last for cable contract
My reason for doing so is, that | have
satisfied myself, after careful examin-
alton, that the company which is most
likely to obtain recognition from the
United States Government is the Pa
citic Cable Company of New Iork, of
which Gen. Scrymser is President.
After careful investigation of the
capacity and chance of success of that
company, / have decided thus to with
draw my own application, believing
that Gen. Scrymser's company will
make such a showing to this Govern
ment as will assure from this Govern
ment such assistance as it requires in
furtherance of its general Pacific
Ocean cable project.
You will kindly observe, that the ap-
plication of thatIcompany to this Gov
ernment asks for no exclusive fran
chise from Hawaii to the United
States. The reason for this is, that
such franchises are deemed by that
company to be absolutely suicidal to
any application which it might make
to the United States Congress. Yours
very truly,
(Signed) ALFRED S. HARTWELLL.

A NEW DISCOVERY BY THE sHA-
KERS.


For more than hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied
the cultivation of medicinal plants and
sought to extract from them their heal
ing essences. Their labor has not
been spent in vain. They have made
d discovery that will prove blessing
to mankind. 1t consists of a Cordial
that causes immediate relief in cases
of indigestion. The Importance Of this
discovery will be apparent when we re-
alize that nearly nine-tenths of our
sufferings are caused by dyspepsia or
Indigestion. Nearly every person you
meet has had this digestive trouble in
some Of it's varied forms-sick head
ache, distress after eating, pain and
fullness in the chest after eating, pal
pitation of the heart, etc, ARE but symp-
toms Of indigestion. To relieve these
sufferings has been the study of the
Shakers, and they have succeeded.
The reason the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial has such an immediate and salu-
tary effect is that it causes the food
eaten to be digested, for it is undigest-
ed food that causes distress. The
Cordial causes the food to be digested
before there is time for it to ferment
and sour on the stomach. When the
food is so digested it gives trength
and vigor to the feeble body, makes
one feel bright and cheerful, and makes
one gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is SO prompt
in it's action that the very first dose
will have perceptibly favorable re-
suit. 1t gives immediate relief.
Every druggist has been sent a sup
ply of our handsome Donkey Puzzle
Books, and copy may be had for the
asking. 1t tells all about the Cordial
as well as Laxol, the new castor oil.
Try a twenty-five cent bottle of Di-
gestive Cordial and see what it will do
for you.
