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

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity TO all who
have possessions or other interests
III the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens calpe to a
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny caunot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
looms.

SATURDAY, FEB. 20, 1897.

W. II. Crossman Il Bro, New
York, have issued a circular, of
date January 80, on the coffee sit
uation. They are quite bitter in
their reflections on what they
charge as persistent misrepresen-
tations by European coffee factors.
"The coffee world throughout"
the circular says, "is practically in
the same condition as exists in the
States. All the trade is interested
in higher prices, not for the pur-
pose of buying, but with the view
to realizing present large hold
ings, the volume of which is like
ly to be increased from month to
month" As the Messrs. Cross
mans previous circular has been
proved correct in its estimates of a
surplus, their present one is en-
titled to credit. The showing of a
plethora of supply they make is
an additional argument for es-
tablishing the name and the grade
Of Hawaii's superior coffee III the
market universal.

Mr.. Desky, of the firm of Bruc,

Mr., Desky, of the firm of Bruce
Waring & Co., has, according to
an editorial in the Hilo Herald,
set on foot a scheme for providing
independent homes for residents
of that interesting burg. In this
he will deserve to be regarded as
q public benefactor for long time
to come by the newer residents,
especially, of the town. Dwelling
houses for rent have been general
iy of poor grade and scarce in
Hilo. The recent increased demand
has been but slowly promoting a
supply, whatever the reasons for
such a state of affairs may have
been. BY his scheme on the
lines that have been successful in
Honolulu, to the extent of pro-
yiding comfortable homes of their
own on easy terms for people of
moderate means, Mr.. Desky will
work a great social improvement
IN Hilo, there is not the least
doubt.

First-class grocers include
among their patrons people
whose tastes run to the dainty.
1t may not pay the dealer to
handle such goods alone but
if one of our 1900 customers
wants Armour's Sliced Bacon
in tins we feel under obligations
to that customer to keep a
stock on hand to supply his
wants, That's how we came to
order it first, one man wanted
it. Now our sales average
nearly a dozen cases a week
and we seldom sell more than
one tin at a time-Armour's
goods are all right, particularly
his sliced bacon.
The best Block Butter is
worth half a dollar a pound
too high to use for cooking.
The next grade is California
Creamery-sells for 25 cents;
still high for a large family
where much Of it is used. A
kit contains rs pounds, we
sell one for $3.50 and the but
ter is good enough for the
table. This is what you call
economy.
California Pig Pork is a
delicacy here because more
and better care is given to the
feeding of the pigs. There's no
question about the quality of
the American hog and this
pig pork we sell is from select
ed young pigs, nothing strong
about it aud not a bad piece in
a 25lb. key. It's yours to try.
Other articles we recon-
mend Salmon Bellies and
Bloater Mackerel. They are
as great delicacy as can be
found-we swear by the
bloaters because they are prime
and fat-a single one if you
want it or a kit.

Landing of Turkish Troops ip Crete 10
He Resistcd

He Resisted
Athens, February 10, l:15 a. N.
The greatest excitement pre-.
walls here. The newspapers have
issued midnight editions contain
ing a report that the Vail of
Smyrna has chartered steamer
for the purpose of transporting
troops to Crete, and this in the
face of the assurances given to the
powers by the Porte that Turkey
would not send reinforcements to
the island.
London, February IL. - The
Times has dispatch from Canea
stating that Prince George of
Greece, with four torpedo boats
and one transport, has arrived
there. The dispatch adds that
reports from everywhere on the
island indicate the increasing
gravity of the situation.
The Greek Charge d'Affaires
here has informed Lord Salisbury
that his government has decided
to prevent the Turks from land
ing reinforcements in Crete.
NJ. Hanotaux, the French Min.
lister, has iutimated proposals that
the powers blockade Crete, and
that they also occupy Canea, Re.
timo and the other centers of
disorder, pending settlement of
the dispute that will be satisfac-
tory to the Cretans. Active nego-
tiations on these proposals are
now proceeding.
A high authority at the Foreign
Office today said that he thought
the proposal of M. Hanotaux was
a Franco. Russian scheme to per
NIT Greece to occupy the island,
with Prince George, second son
of the King of the Heilenes, as
Governor. General, the island con-
