The series Of lectures delivered at the
Catholic church, last week by Rev.
Father Barry S. j., Of Denver, were un-
usually brilliant and in language that
could not be misunderstood by any per-
son of average intelligence. The people
of all determinations showed their fill
appreciation, some Of the audience COM
ing distance of 10 or Is miles. The in
terest OF the people never Jagged, but
from the spirit manifested they would
have remained for hours longer than the
time limited for each lecture. We belief
We this TO be a move in the right direc-
tion. There are a great Dumber OF well
meaning people in every community who
never before attended lectures treating
upon Catholic doctrines. In consequence
they have an unwarranted prejudice
against the teachingsbof the church. not
knowing anything about it except as
misrepresented and falsifed. and we ven
ture TO say that il all such would dis
card their prejudice long enough to lis
ten to such explanations by gentlemen
like Rev. Barry this barrier would soon
be removed, more healthy feeling
would prevail and the doctrine OF hate
and bigotry would be preached TO empty
pews. We with many others Of this
community hope TO hear a continuation
OF these lectures in the near future, and
we promise on behalf Of all who attended
the services last week a sincere and
hearty welcome to the reverend gentle
man any time he will honor US with his
presence.

REWARD OF MERIT.

At the CHICAGO CYCLE SHOW in
1897, each visitor on entering the
Show was handed a coupon reading as
below:
"After viewing the exhibits, kindly
fill in the name of the Bicycle which
pIeases you best as regards beauty
and mechanical merit, and deposit the
coupon in ballot box near exits.
Name of Bicycle, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."
The "Shirk'' received 17,489 ballots
against 1877 the next highest. When
it is known that all the leading makes
OF wheels in the United States were
on exhibition at this Show, the above
speaks for itself. The HONOLULU

for this strictly high grade wheel.

Rapid Transit Plans and
Telephone Operations.
Much Depends on Power Chosen
for Street RaiIway-EIectrIcit
or Compressed Air.

Manager Cassidy of the Mutual
Telephone Company says that there
will be no switchboard or other ex-
tensive changes of the present tele-
phone system until it is learned what
the promoters of the electric car
scheme are going to do. Nothing in
the exchange is being touched. Should
electricity be chosen as a motive power
nv the electric car company, it will be
necessary to change all the telephone
wires, as they are at present attached
to the water pipes of the city and
complication would naturally result.
On the other hand, if compressed air
is chosed, the work will all turn on
getting rid of the induction that re
suits at present from the electric
light plant in the city. In any event
the telephone company has mapped
out line of improvements that will
keen I'D the international reputation
of the telephone system of this city.
The boys at the telephone exchange
have been in a despairing mood since
the arrival of the Charleston. 1t was
distinctly stated that the five whistles
would be blown Immediately upon the
cruiser being sighted and that all the
peopIe would have to do would be to
null down the lever and listen. AS
matter of fact when the whistle did
blow. the levers were pulled down all
over the city and chorus Of female
voices kept repeating the refrain;
.eWhat are those whistles for. Cen
tral?" The boys say that very few
male voices were heard and that the
greatest confusion resulted from the
wholesale inquiry.

WE MORTALS BE!

Do you think for one moment that
we are in politics?
Everybody FREE and EQUAL at
our store. Nationality, Religion, Poll
tics, are all the same to US. The mill
lionaire receives no more attention
than the man who earns his so cents
a day.
When the whole community is car
ried away with temporary excitement
they forget all about their household
duties, and also their household wants,
but they never forget where they can
buy the cheapest. They think of
TUMBLERs at 50 cents a dozen at
Dimond G Co.'S.
DINNER PLATES at 70 cents a dozen
at Dimond & Co.'S.
BROOMs, Is cents each at Dimond
& Co.'s.
An IRON HANDLED STEEL KNIFE
and FORK for 10 cents at Di-
mond & Co.'s.
COAL OIL SOAP, 5 cents a cake at
Dimond & Co.'S.
and when they want a STOVE or RE
FRIGERATOR, they call at Di-
mond & Co.'S and get the best and
cheapest.
We take the CASH and let the
