0NE TELLS ANOTHER.

And So the news spreads
and spreads. Housekeepers all
around are talking of the fine
quality of goods bought at our
grocery department. AS the
news spreads, so our groceries
spread all over the city, from
Waikiki to Palama; from the
wharf to way up the valley.
There is only one conclusion
to be drawn, and that is that
the quality of goods must be
right not only that, but the
prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in
the right condition.
Every one knows of the Americ-
an Biscuit Company and the class
of goods they make The follow
ing are few of the many styles of
crackers that we carry Graham

y recent dispatch says: The sim
pie request of the Chinese Minister
at Washington to the Niceroy at
Canton resulted in rice riot there,
in which three were killed and others
injured. The Minister wrote to the
Niceroy that the supply of Chinese
rice was short in this country and re-
quested him to export some to San
Francisco for the use of Chinese in
America. When the Niceroy made the
request known an issue was raised at
Canton. many being opposed to expor-
ting rice. because the supply there
was small owing to crop failures.
An exporter named Wing Eik per-
sisted in continuing expectations, al
though the natives ordered him to de-
sist. When they demanded that he
sell rice stored in his go-down he re-
fused and shot one of the mob which
had gathered. The mob then broke in
and destroyed his property, carrying
the rice away. \ jam ensued and two
men were trampled to death Ameri-

SANG IN AID OF
 THE SUFFERERS
Children's Hospital Benefit al the TiVOli a Pronounced
 Success.
N early One Thousand Dollars Real. ized-Kindness of Mrs. Krelinq
 and the Opera Company.

The Children's Hospital will profit nearly 5000 as a result of the benefit performance of "Mother Goose" given yesterday by the Tivoli Opera Com pany at the well-known place of amusement.
 Recognizing the difficulties under which charitable institutions often labor to procure funds sufficient to carry them along, Mrs. Ernestine Krel- ing, the proprietress of the Tivoli, re- gently consulted the members of her company and as a result the benefit was arranged, the singers entering thoroughly into the spirit of the affair and making every effort to render the affair success, artistically as we'll as financially.
 The public was more than usually generous in its patronage and the big opera house was full. The entire re- ceipts, including the income from the flower and programme privileges, went into the benefit fund, the result being donation of S973 to the hospital fund Treasurer Krause will forward a check for that amount to the officials of the institution tomorrow.

germs of typhoid fever from the refuse of the soap factories and packing houses into the homes of the people of San Francisco.
 True, there has been no epidemic of such malady in the city, but just think what might occur in the future. When the fearful epidemic of Glasgow is remembered, where hundreds died from typhoid fever contracted through eating oysters, and when it is recalled that Honolulu was almost depopulated with cholera which started from eat ing crabs, then will the work of Dr. Cookery be appreciated. It is not pres ent evils that are to be guarded against, but those that we know not of.
 But there is a gleam of hope piercing the cloud of gloom which now threat ems the gourmets There is but one society of shrimps that is to be ta- booed. The crustaceanS of the San Bruno road have been designated as ''mushy." That ought to settle the whole matter. A ''mushy" shrimp has no rights that a health officer is bound to respect. They are not only mushy, but they are also white" Now a white shrimp is something that in it. self carries its own condemnation. When it is both white and mushy it naturally follows that if it hasn't con- tracted disease the health officer is not 10 Dldfne TOT II.
 Hereafter the crustaceans of San Pablo Bay will have the proud dis tinction of being the elite of shrimp so- ciety and the only ones that are of sufficient tone to mix in the midst of humanity. Just how the unwary housewife is to know whether the shrimps offered from the basket of the peripatetic vendor really come from the hallowed precincts of San Pablo or from the condemned purlieus of San Bruno swamps is a question that has not yet been definitely decided. Possi- bly the Health Department will utilize Dr. Jordan's seal brand idea, and then none but branded shrimps will be con- sidered as fit for polite society.
 Dr. Morse of the Board of Health is a gentleman of recognized erudition and profound thought, and since he coincides with the opinion of his learn cd colleagues across the Atlantic much consideration will be given to the grave danger that has so long threatened the citizens who eat Shrimps. Since the whole medical fra ternity is a unit in this matter. and say that germs of disease can be and are carried by crustaceans as well as mammals. it might be well if those who are fond of the enticing salad were to see to it that their shrimps are neither white" nor ''mushy"

A CONSERVATIVES DESPAIR.
George O'NeiI Ends His Life With q
 Pistol Bullet.

With the dread fangs of consumption fastened upon him, George O'Neil, a letter carrier, residing at 40 Sanchez street, yesterday afternoon ended his life with a pistol bullet.
 O'Neil has been suffering with con- sumption for a long time and as he felt his life slowly ebbing away he grew more and more Respondent. Yes terday afternoon he was alone in his room, and at about 1 o'clock his sister was startled by hearing a pistol shot in the house. Suspecting what had happened, she at once rushed into his room and found him seated in a chair in front of a lookingglass with a smoking revolver in his hand. Dr. Barnham was immediately summoned but found the man past mortal aid, and at once notified the Coroner.
 Deputy Coroner J. l.. Mccormack visited the house, but seeing that the case was clearly suicide, did not re- move the body.
 O'Neil was 2S years of age and un- married. He was well known in the city and highly respected by all his friends.

ORPHANS MADE HAPPY.
Tbe Innotes of the Mario Kip Orphonoge Had Week of Joy
 and Good Cheer.

Sister Anna, the matron of the Maria Kip Orphanage out in the Richmond, had a busy week of it with her little tots. The hundred inmates, who look upon the good Sister Anna as their mother and their all, were treat ed to the usual Christmas dinner and tree with it's load of offerings in the evening. As this was the first Christ mas in the new home, the good Sister Anna and her assistants almost outdid themselves in making this festival an impressive one on the minds of their young wards. In this they were not unappreciated as the innocent little ones were filled with joy and gratitude as they beheld an overloaded table containing all the good things that can be produced in California for a Christ mas festival. This, with a kind and maternal feeling on the part of the gentle matron toward her innocent little charges filled their baby hearts full of thanks for Christmas and what it brings to the Christian world.
 The week following Christmas was one long to be remembered by the in- mates of the Maria Kip Orphanage. as they had been invited to the Chutes, to Sutro's, to the Cliff, to the park, and

People Who Vow
 Not to Speak,

That any human being should be so wanting in sense as to record a VOW to remain dumb during the rest of his life seems at first sight an almost inconceivable thing, for of all human gifts speech is perhaps the one to be prized, if not most of all, at least very highly, and yet it is a we'll known fact that there have been seve- ral cases of men and women who have vowed on certain occasions never to speak again and who have kept their pledges rigidly
 Only a few weeks ago a man died in one of the Western States of America with the curious record of never hav- ing spoken a word for twenty-five years. It occurred thus: One morning he asked his wife to sign a certain document in connection with some property which he owned, but she, for some reason or other, refused. The man thereupon swore that he would never speak to her again, and further than that, would never utter a word to any living soul as long as he lived
 He kept his word to the letter. Every direction which he had to give either at home or in his office was done in writing, and, as he was a man of inde- pendent income, his strange behavior did not, of course, interfere with his means of livelihood. At the end of twenty-five years he died of gastric fever, having maintained absolute si- lence during the quarter of a century in question.
 Another extraordinary case, equal in eccentricity to the preceding one, comes from France. Some years ago great discomfort arose in one of the villages owing to certain harsh meas ures being adopted by the local gov ernment, and, after many meetings held to protest against the same, a young man, renowned for his elo- quence and talent, was deputed to ap- proach the authorities with view to persuading them to remove or modify the tyrannical regulations. He entered into his mission with great spirit, and in due course discharged it, but with out success.
 When he returned to the villagers and announced his failure, so far from sympathizing with him, they turned on him in body and denounced him as a simpleton, saying that had he managed the business properly succass must have attended his efforts Mad dened with his failure and heart broken by the 1ngratitude of the neo- pie, he swore that never again would he use his lips for the purpose of speech, since those lips when exerted for the common good had but brought upon him hatred and contumely.
 The poor fellow, however. did not have to exercise his abstinence from speech for very long, as six months later he was drowned while fordinp stream, but during that period he was never heard to breathe a single word.
 Ladies are commonly supposed to be so fond of using their tongues that it will surprise many people to hear that women also have taken vows to ab- stain from speech, but such is the case.
 young lady residing in Northamp- ton was so disgusted with the brutality of her husband that she declared she would never speak to him as long as she lived, whereupon he brutally and cynically remarked that perhaps it would be as well if she never spoke to any one, since he considered her voice the most repulsive sound on earth.

i've had enough said he. How long can he last up there?"
 "He will have birds eggs in plenty; there's wild berries, too, besides ground rats and all them. If I know my girl, too. there's rations gone aloft," and he shook his head ruefully.
 They're not married, either" said the admiral, maliciously.
 The old man shook his head again, sadly.
 "A fleet of the French republic blushes for such shamelessnessr said the ad- miral, with mock indignation on his red face and a twinkle of the eye. Come, I've had enough
 He gave orders to stop firing. When the roar of cannon had ceased he said:
 ''Sacre moi. There never was a wilder jest, and I'll not spoil the joke. He has us on his toasting-fork. I shall give him the honor of flag of truce, and he must come down. The scoundrel shall marry your daughter, fisherman, or we'll know the reason why He was a fat. coarse, high-living admiral, and his sensual lower lip shook with laughter.
 And so it was that a French fleet sent a flag of truce to the foot of Perce Rock, and French officer, calling up, gave the word of honor of his admiral that An toine should suffer nothing at the hands of a court-martial and that he should be treated as a prisoner of war.
 AS a prisoner of war" Quoth Antoine. That meant that he was to be treated like an English belligerent and not like French deserter. He hemmed and hawed, and backed and filled, and made a function of the business, and insisted on this as condition and that as a con cession; but at last he accepted the terms, though Minois stormed and said that she would stay in spite of all. At last she would go only on condition that she also should be treated as a prisoner in Antoine's company.
 Antoine was easily able to make these terms. and she was lowered by the rope. Antoine then fastened the rope end to one point of rock and then to another. and himself descended and was conducted with Minois to the admiral with all the honors of war.
 There was no court-martial. After An- toine had told the tale of the ascent at the admiral's command, all the officers standing near, his fate was pronounced The admiral said:
 "No one but an Englishman would be fool enough to attempt such thing and no one but a fool could have been lucky enough to succeed. You have proved, gunner, that you are no Frenchman.'
 Then I am no deserter, EXcellency,' ,' said Antoine.
 You are fool; but even a fool can get a woman to follow him, and so this fiyaway followed you. gunner. But we will have no more lewdness 'twixt heaven and earth, and"
 "Minois flew at the admiral as though to scratch his eyes out, but Antoine held her back.
 And you are condemned, gunner, con- tinued the admiral. dryly, ito marry the maid before sundown or be carried out to sea prisoner of war"
 So saying, he laughed silently and bade them begone to the wedding.
 And it was done as the admiral com manded, and the fishing post of Percc was saved to England and Antoine and Minois sailed the sea in the Charm ing Nancy for many year.

Hearing this she burst into tears, but said nothing, and from that moment onward she never spoke, though every means was tried by her husband to make her break her resolution.
 For ten years she remained in this condition, and it was only on her spouse's death that she set aside her strange purpose and returned to the ways of ordinary mortals as regards speech. It was then noticed by those who knew her that her voice was per- fectly changed and that it had the loud. monotonous intonation such as is observed in the voices of deaf people.
