Merit Wins.

The invention of Alabastine marked q
new era in wall coatings, and from the
standpoint of the building owner was a
most important discovery. 1t has from a
small beginning branched out into every
country of the civilized world. The name
'kalsomine' has become so offensive TO
property owners that manufacturers OF
cheap kalsomine preparations are now
calling them by some other name, and at
tempting to sell on the Alabast!ne COM
pany's reputation.
Through extensive advertising n per-
sonal use, the merits of the durable Ala
bastine are so thoroughly known that the
people insist on getting these goods and
will take no chance of spelling their walls
for "a possible saving OF at the most but
a few cents. Thus il is again demonstrate
ed TIA merit wins, and that manufacture
crs of iirst-class articles will be supported
by the people.

Of the Report that England Disspproved

WASHINGTON, May There has been
no communication from the British
government TO the authorities here con-
corning Hawaii, and the report einana-
ting In Japan that Great Britain had
expressed disapproval Of Hawaiian an
nexation TO the United States Is denied
by officials.
A similar denial Is made by officers
of the japanese legation as to the re-
ports that negotiations had been
opened between Toxic aud Washing
ton relating to Hawaii.
The Japanese foreign Office has
gazetted the promotion Of the present
Japanese consul general at Hawaii TO
the rank Of minister resident. This
gives him larger authority In dealing
with diplomatic affairs between Japan
and Hawaii and the legation here has
no further jurisdiction Of the subject
except as II may affect the relations Of
the United States and Japan.
