The Echo de Paris says It under
stands that Italy is on the eve of ced-
ing to Great Britain the Island Of Pan
tellaria, situated sixty miles southwest
of Sicily and about half way between
that island and the African coast, in
exchange for the Island of Perrin, of
the Arabian coast, in the Strait of Bah
Ell Mandeb and at the entrance of the
Red Sea. The Island Perrin is a bare
rock about nve miles long, On which
turtle shells are taken. and used as
coal depot. whereas the Island of Pan
tellaria has an area of fifty-eight square
miles, a population of about 1000, pro-
duces fine fruits and has convenient
port. Oppidolo. at its northwest point.
Situated almost in the middle of the
main thoroughfare Of the Mediter-
ranean, Pantellaria. now an Italian
convict depot. could be converted into
another of the strongly fortified stations
Of the British. Under the circum-
stances the Echo de Paris expresses the
hope that the powers will interfere and
refuse to permit the transfer of the
island referred to.

1t Is well always to bear in mind
that the powers-meaning the princi-
pal governments of the earth-are not
SO ridiculous as they are made to ap-
pear by the newspaper reporters who
assume to read between the lines of
diplomatic correspondence and lay bare
the innermost thoughts of diplomatists.
In endeavoring to keep informed as to
the leading political events of the
world 1t is prudent to make allowance
for about one hundred per cent of error
in the writings of the extremely "pre-
vious" reporters who are permitted to
interpret the finesse OF prime minis
ters and ambassadors.

bids fair to be early involved In the
powder war which the Nobel monopoly
threatens to wage on American manu-
facturers of high explosives. The In
ducement for the Nobels to enter the

with home manufacturers on the At

manufacture on this coast. where the
principal ingredients OF dynamite are
less costly than elsewhere, TO seek to

keeper may well worry over
her lighting bills.
Electric lights are all very
well for people with long purses
but for people of average means
there is nothing like the old
fashioned lamps. They give a
softer light, are not SO wear
ing on the eyes, and are not
all the time jumping and bob
bing about. Of those who
still use coal oil lamps we ask
attention to a stock that can
not be excelled in Honolulu.
They come in all sizes, styles,
and prices. We have HANG
ING LAMPS, from moderate
cost to elaborate designs; HALL
LAMPS; PIANO LAMPS; ban
quet lamps; lamps for the bou-
doir; nickel-plated lamps for
students; bracket lamps; two,
three and four light chande-
liers. We have mammoth
Rochester Lamps and little
metal night lamps that are very
convenient where there are
children around.
Piano lamps are still as
fashionable as ever. We have
them in new and attractive
styles, together with a large
assortment of beautiful shades
in colors to suit.
If there is anything required
in the shape of a lamp for out
side use, on the verandah or
about the stable, we have them
in stock and at very low rates.
No trouble to show our lamps
or anything else we have in
stock.

w. %. Aldrich Dead.

News is received of the death in
San Francisco of William II. AL
drich, formerly of Honolulu. He
was left a fortune by his father,
but the courts prevented his using
aught but the income. While pro
ceedings brought by his wife to
place him under guardianship as
a spendthrift we're pending, he es-
capped from the jurisdiction of the
court by clandestinely getting on
board a vessel bound for the
Coast. Aldrich was once in busi-
ness as grocer here but failed.
He was socisble in his ways and
captain of the old Honolulu
Rifles, that played an important
part in the revolution of 1887.
His wife and family survive him
in Honolulu.
