Cancer

Mr.. A. n. Crausby, of 158 Kerr St.,
Memphis, Tenn, says that his wife
paid no attention to a small lump which

and Notwithstanding the treatment of
the best physicians, it continued to
spread and grow rapidly, eating two
holes in her breast. The doctors

THE Won HOLT BLOCK.

| Of the total export business for 1896
approximately II per cent was done
from the port of Honolulu, 10 per cent
from Kahuilui, Is per cent from Hilo
and 5 per cent from Mahukona. The
data is not at hand to show to what
countries Hawaiian products were sent
but there is no reason to believe that
there has been any marked change
from former years. AS the most of
Hawaii'S export trade is carried on the
first nine months of the year, it is not
probable that the exports for 1896 will
run far from sixteen millions. The to-
tai exports for the twelve months of
1895 amounted to about eight and one
half millions.
The total exports and imports for
the first nine months of 1896 is 49,
594, 714.92, which with one exception is
larger than the total exports and i'm
ports for any full year in the last
decade. In 1890 the total for the
twelve months was $20,105, O30.61.
When the returns for the last quarter
of 1896 are in there is no doubt that
the figures will show this to be the
banner commercial year of Hawaiian
history

CUSTOM HOUSE RETURNS.
Figures That Show Hawaii's In
crease in Trade

Any review of Hawaii's progress in
material things would be incomplete
without an insight into custom house
returns. With its power OF producing
agricultural products far in excess of
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-01-02

the same proportion as in previous
1896, will show the value of the total
imports for the year to have been
nearly three million dollars in excess
! of that last year, and a full million
in excess of any year recorded. The
| last three months of the year always
swell the import list. and as the holi-
day business of the year was as large
if not larger than formerly, the esti-
mate of an increase of over two mil
| lions in the total imports may be con-
sidered fairly conservative.
| AS regards the proportion of bust
ness done with the different countries,
the figures remain about the same as
formerly. The Pacific ports of the
United States stand as usual at the
head of the list, having handled over
"A per cent of the goods coming to
Hawaii, as compared with 1873 per
cent during the same period of 1895.
The increase in dollars and cents over
the nine months of last year is $685.
1920
The Atlantic ports of the United
States show a falling off from last
year amounting to $4,000. This may
be due to difference in the time of
the arrival of packets from Atlantic
ports, or possibly to a diversion of
trade from Eastern to Western cities.
1t is possible that the business of the
last quarter will make a change more
favorable to the American cities of
the Atlantic.
More business was done with Great
Britain than last year by something
over 100000, and it is highly probable
that figures at the end of the year

THE NEW LOVE BUILDING.

will show that Great Britain when
compared with other nations has in
creased its export trade to Hawaii
something over one per cent.
Import trade with Germany has fall
len from s77,266.O3 in 1895 to S45,-
374.5S in 1896, a decrease of s3O,S9145.
Both China and Japan have increased
their business with this country, al
though when compared with the total
import trade China shows a decrease
of nearly one per cent, and Japan's
increase is less than one-tenth of one
per cent. As compared with their last
years record, the increase from China
and Japan is $35,O6S1S and S53,424.1S

featuring industries TO supply the
needs of a steadily increasing pOpu-
lation, the national barometer of Ha-
waits financial and industrial con-
dition may well be said to be located
in the custom house.
It is impossible TO obtain statistics
at this time for complete comparison
OF the year 1896 with 1895, but suf-
ficient data is at hand to demonstrate
that the business done with other
countries will far exceed that of the
most prosperous year ever before ex-
perienced; also that the balance of
trade is largely in Hawaii's favor. \
comparative table of imports from Diff
ferent countries for the first nine
months of 1895 and 1896 respectively
shows an increase in the total amount
of nearly two million dollars. On the
Goth of September, 1896, the imports
from all countries amounted to 5,140,-
03723, which is within half a million
of the value of imports for the whole
twelve months of 1895. Allowing that
the imports during October, November
and December just passed increased in

substantial ones, except a few on the
Eva side. below Merchant, but with
the movement so actively begun it
seems but a question Of a short time
when the old coffee shops will have to
make way for the juggernaut of prog
ress which for the past two years has
been paving the way for the develop
ment of modern ideas.
BISHOP MEMORIAL CHAPEL.
Another of Mr.. Bishops great gifts
is the memorial chapel now in course
of erection on the Kamehameha School
grounds at a cost of $4,000. This will
be OF dark grey stone, with lighter
trimmings and viii compare favorably
in point of beauty with the Central
Union Church edifice, though the de-
sign is entirely different.
OAHU COLLEGE.
There are a number of monuments
in and about Honolulu to the liberal
ity of Charles r. Bishop and his de-
ceased wife, and among the most ele-
CANT is Pauahi Hall, the new building
at Oahu College grounds. At cost of
$40, 900 there has been built the hand

soonest and most convenient structur,
for educational purposes on the Isl
ands. Besides the various class rooms
there is one large art and music room
and this is large organ, built by the
Bergstroms at a cost of $4,000 and
memorial to her husband.
PRIVATE DWELLINGS.
So many beautiful dwellings have
been erected during the past year that
to describe each in detail would re-
quire much more space than can be
had here. The most elaborate in the
way of private improvements is the
stable of w. G. Irwin. This is entire
ly new to Honolulu in point of ar
chitecture, being of Moorish design. 1t
is entirely mosquito-proof, elegantly
finished in hard woods and fitted with
every possible convenience. 1t is ru-
mored that Mr.. Irwin will shortly be-
gin the erection of a dwelling on the
adjoining lot, and in the same style of
architecture.
w. a. Bowen has just completed
palatiaI residence at Makiki.
j. A. Gilman has one still further up
the slope, and among the many built
at Punahou, Paul Isenberg's will at
tract attention for many reasons. B.
l.. Finney OF the Bulletin has one a
block nearer town. j. J. Egan is build
a beautiful place high up on Punch
bowl, where the view of the beach,
from Diamond Head to Waianae can
never be blocked.
J. F. Scott has a coy home in the
same vicinity. Nearer town Arthur
Harrison has built model stone house
that will stand for ages. w. c. Wilder
has added u beautiful cottage to his
list OF possessions, and Billy Hogs has
built a lovely home at Makiki that is
a marvel of comfort.
Dr. Anderson is building a home at
Keeaumoka and Beretania that much
resembles Mr.. Gilman's in point of
architecture. Arthur B. Wood has
regular mansion on the Waterhouse
premises, Nuuanu, and George Man
son is comfortable in a lovely home
at Waikiki. John Cassidy, of the Gov
eminent Electric Light Works, has
also built a residence at Waikiki. Mrs.
Foster has built new home, of which
she may we'll feel proud. w. r. Sims
started the ball rolling out Palama
way, and his success in the way OF
identifying a locality was followed by
others in the same neighbOrhood.
The Government has constructed
three school houses during the gear
and made additions and improvements
to others. The trustees of the Luna
lilo Home have made additions to the
building involving an expenditure OF
$4,000. The greatest work done under
the Government supervision was the
changing of the course of Nuuanu
Stream. That has furnished employ
ment for a hundred men for months
past, and will continue to do so for
months to come.

IN IDEALIZED CASHMERE.

cy in silks was toward Surahs and soft,
lustrous weaves, taffetas have broken
out afresh. The skirt here was a beau
tiful cashmere in deep, rich green,
and the bodice was one of the new
taffetas in the same shade. Draped
with chiffon jabots, it was topped by a
handsome yoke, including collar and
epaulettes, of jetted Brussels net. The
sleeves were wrinkled chiffon over
taffeta. In the other cashmere gown
the color was nickel gray-a popular
one at present-and the trimming was
myrtle green velvet, the two shades
composing highly fashionable com
bination. Tue belt and ornamental
bands were of this velvet, and the col
lar was green and gray striped satin.
The sleeves were shirred along the out
side to above the elbow.
Satins are as stiff as possible, and
everything silken must crinkle. Silks
are to be used lot, too, and the old
time corded and gros grain sorts are
going to be on hand again because they
will adapt themselves so handsomely to
the blouse effects to be worn. Indeed.
the popularity Of the blouse is directly
accountable for the vogue Of stiffness
in materials. Even when material is
soft, it is stiffened in effect by braiding.
There is downright rush for braiding
on cloth, and even on velvet. An effect
of great weight is given to many gowns
in this way, and is often secured by
