Hawaiian Mercantile Report, Dec. l.
The general trade movefent seems
less active and the volume in all lines
has noticeably diminished. It is inn
possible at this time to forecast with
any degree of certainty what the new
year will bring in the way of business
prosperity, though we may reasonably
expect from present prospects fully as
successful a period as that which now
draws to close.
Holiday stocks are now in evidence,
open to public inspection, and the COM
ing month bids fair to prove to both
buyer and seller in these lines a pro-
fitable season
From all quarters, our inquiries are
met by the response, money scarce, -
and collections hard
To understand the reason for this is
difficult; with the scale of wages un-
altered and apparently, the labor mar
ket in satisfactory condition, with

WIDEAWAKE

There are wideawake stores
and wideawake people. This
is a wideawake store for wide
awake people.
A wideawake store is one
that provides the best goods,
enough of them, not too many;
sells them literally, and takes
the responsibility for 'em.
Wideawake buyers distin-
guish between the asleep
and wideawake stores, between
the true and the false, between
the close and generous dealing,
between the take your chance
and responsible stores, and be-
tween the goods that are sold
therein.

PENGUIN OFFICERS ENTERTAIN.
Petty Officers of the Philadelphia
Banquetted Last Night.

Mirth, iollity and good fellowship
pervaded the air in the vicinity of the
Arlington Hotel last night. Within
the dining hall, under the canopy Of
English. American and Hawaiian
flags, over 100 invited guests sat down
to the banquet rendered by the petty
officers of the British cruiser Penguin
to their brother officers on the Phila-
delphia. The affair passed off most
successfully. Chairman Thompson, of
the banquet committee, had arranged
the details most carefully, and Mana
ger Krouse had spared neither pains
nor expense to spread feast worthy
of the occasion.
Captain Field of the Penguin. and
Captain Cotton of the Philadelphia,
presided at the head of the long table.
and joined heartily into the spirit Of
the affair. a number of the other
officers of the Penguin were also pres
ent. Happy speeches were made by
Captains Cotton and Field. Chairman
Thompson and Messrs. Bushnell and
Alexander of the Penguin. The toasts
were interspersed with songs by
Messrs. Bushnell of the Penguin,
Hicks of the Marion, and Vanderveer
and Marshall of the Philadelphia. The
sentiments of the evening were best.
expressed by Chairman Thompson.
who said, very happily, that when
England and America, the two great
English speaking nations, stand
shoulder to shoulder, no power on
earth dare oppose"
The earlier part of the evening was
taken up with smoker and musi-
Gale on the lawn in the garden, which
was hung with fairy lamps and look
ed very pretty. Songs were rendered
by Messrs. Nandeveer, Lefebre, and
Marshall of the Philadelphia, Hicks of
the Marion, Day, Splits, Bowers,
Purdy and Alexander of the Penguin.

Disagreement as to Running Bases

There is trouble among the Water
Babies" Chief Low. one of their
strongest players, refuses to partici-
pate in Mondays game unless he is

bicycle.
The Land Crabs" have lccided that
they cannot allow so glarlng an ana

1t is singular that there are more
substitutes than regular players. but
that is accounted for, when it is
known that Captains willard and
Nichols count on losing five men each
inning.
The boys in the press stand will be
obliged to relate all their stories be-
fore going into the stand, for they

The following piece of poetry has
been dedicated to the Water Babies. y

OF COW who wasn't able
TO climb the dizzy branches of AN
algaroba tree; II
And tho she mourned it sadly, yU.
Yet she ate the green grass gladly 4
And chawed her little cudlet on the
terra frmaree.
This lesson of contentment,

To the jolly Water Babies
On the Yankee men o. war. rs
They can serve a dainty dinner, Az
To pious saint or sinner, M
And can dance and flirt and frolic--lsa
One and all. sa
And when their country needs them,
They'll be found where honor leads
them,
But you bet your bottom dollar
That
They
