WASHINGTON, December 1O.--Ad-
miral Dewey's fleet will be strength

serviceable gunboats. The Benning-
ton, now at Honolulu, has been order
ed to proceed to Guam, in the Ladrone
group, and to make a survey of the
harbor with a view to the establish
ment there of a naval station. This
done, she will join Dewey's fleet. BY
that time or before the Helena will

cord and the Petrol. now cruising in
Chinese waters, will have returned.

Christmas Sales are Good and Afford
Auspicious Ending of the Sea-
son.

For elegance and uniqueness of de-
sign the show windows about town eX-
eel anything ever attempted in this
line before in Honolulu. All of the
stores having front windows display
something. and most of them make
extensive and costly showings. In
deed, there is no end of interest and
pleasure i'm a canvass of the windows
i'm the business center at evening.
One of the prettiest and most clever
Christmas designs is in front win

with Santa Claus entering the Chin
ney at the top. On the roof is the
conventional black cat. In the neigh
borhood are barren trees, with here
and there, in the snow, rabbit or n
snow man. In the distance are two
brownies. watching with open mouths
the transit of Father Santa over the
roof and down the chimney. he
background is presented on canvass,
with striking effect. Altogether the
scheme may be regarded as of the
very best in town.
At Jordan's are some great attrac-
lions in the toy line, designed express
~, however. for show windows.
Crowds hang around this front all ev-
ening. The toys are automatic and,
in their grotesque movements, afford
an excellent pantomine exhibition.
In the other houses business wares
are exhibited, but in such "A way as
to make the windows most attractive.
An up town dry goods establishment
has changed its windows every day
for a week. They are an exhibition
of elegance and splendor. Across the
street is another equally splendid. and
father up is IA third with a millinery
exhibit the like of which has
never been seen here before.
The shoe house windows are also at
tractive, at least two of them being
deliberately dressed. \ Fort street
haberdasher makes an elegant display
in two front windows.
Windows of the book stores were
never prettier than this year. There
has been some rivalry between them
| in the matter of Christmas displays,
and the result has been a revelation.
\ look into one of them at night is a
study. There is drug store up town
with holiday display as complete
and attractive as one would hope to
find in New York.
Altogether it is worth Il dozen trips
to town to see the holiday windows at
night. There is inspiration in it. It
impresseS the fact of advancement. of
the advent of bigger, brighter ideas
in the new era.

SEIZED THOUSANDS
 OF LOTTERY TICKETS
GOVERNMENT OFFICERS DO THE
 WORK OF NEGLIGENT LEES.
The Goods Were Shipped by Wells Fargo & Go. and Seized by the
 Marshal.

That lottery tickets are sold openly and unreservedly in this city has been for some time a notorious fact, despite the laws and ordinances against them. They are sold in the saloon, the house, the of fee, on the street corner and even in tEc public building under the. very nose "i the senile Chief of Police, who, were he disposed to make a venture in this line himself, might purchase unlimited quan- titles of winning" numbers.
 The Chief however, has apparently made no efforts to stop the Illicit traffic which has become so notorious that com plaints regarding 1t have at last reached Washington and the Government has fin ally decided to take a hand in the mat ter Unlike the Police Department, what the Government does, it does well, and it will stop the sale of tickets by seizing them as soon as they arrive in this city.
 Majors Moore and Vernon, special agents of the Treasury in this district. were officially notified of the traffic, and at once set to work to stop it. They did not follow the example of the illustrious Lees and arrest some one who had once seen ticket or have the street sweep ings sifted over in the hope of securing "evidence' that tickets really were sold; in fact it is stated on the best authority that they did not even go to the City
 
 ceed. Yet they did their work.
 Thursday afternoon United States Mar shal Shine was furnished with a search warrant It was s@paced in the hands of Deputy Marshal Monckton, who served it on Wells, Fargo & Co.,, and upon its authority seized several thousand tickets of the New Louisiana Lottery Company which had been shipped from New Orleans to W. w. ogden & Co. of this city. The tickets were in various denominations, running down from 8 to 25 cents. Of course the firm name of Ogden was only a blind, but whoever the party or parties the tickets were con- signed to evidently expected little diff culty in disposing of the tickets, as they were for a drawing to take place on Au- gust A. and to sell thousands of tickets in a few days would require a small army of agents. Where are the minions of the is overrun with these agents, or rather, what are their instructions in the prem ises?
 But the officials of the Government, Iy regardless of his methods of procedure from start to finish. In the eyes of one who is familiar with the way things are done in the upper office at the City Hall 1t seems remarkable that the advice of its superannuated head was not asked but after the capture was made what, to Lees, is the most important part of the affair, was wholly neglected. When Ma jor Moore was asked about the matter he did not puff out, don @ SuperciIious walls, and tell all about how "T' did 1t. He seemed on the contrary, to have a general aversion to discussing the mat ter. and simply said that he had acted the tickets seized and that was all about Different people do the same things in widely different ways.

RECORD BREAKING
 HARNESS RACES

CLEVELAND, July 29.-Record break ing marked the close of the grand circuit meeting, as record clipping had signalzed the opening. This afternoon the worlds record to wagon was broken twice, first by Kentucky Union, who went under the mark established by the Village Farm stallion The Abbott second and half and by Grace Hastings who lowered the mark to 2:0912. half a second below even the unrecognized clip of Eloree.
 In the first race the 2:10 trot. continued over from the day before, The Abbott
 with Geers in the sull1y, travelled the fastest heat trotted this year, the fastest trotted on the Glenville track in two sea- sons, cut the worlds record for dVe-year- old geldings from 2:0914 to 2:0Sia, and went trotted this season, robbing Matt Patter- son of the recently gained glory.
 The 11,000 people who packed the stand not only witnessed a breaking of turf rec
 ords, but they saw four of the graafest races ever punched together on a grand circuit course. Smashing four records in derful achievement, yet that was what The Abbott did in the 210 trot. Pilot Boy
 was the only real competitor of The Ab, bolt. Three times he had what appeared to be "cinch'' on the heat. but The Ah-
 bolt always managed to push his nose un- der the wire first.
 pace and 2:14 trot with comparative ease. There were seven starters in the 2:O0 l pace, and Bumps and AnacOnda were placed to win, but AnacOnda took the race after losing the third and fourth heats to Frank Bogash. Anaconda was beaten only head in the third, and In the fourth | heat he was pocketed on the last turn. | The trial miles by Kentucky Union and | Grace Hastings to beat the wagon record

SHE WON'T BE
 INTER VIEWED pr. Emma Merritt Ably
 Guarded. ELABORATE RED TAPE SYSTEM SUTRo'S GUARDIAN HAS A SE- CRET BELL SERVICE.
ELABORATE RED TAPE SYSTEM
A Descriptive Blank and Time Card Forwarded to the Doctor With Each Would-Be
 Visitors Name.

Dr. Emma Merritt won't be inter- viewed
 She has nothing to say for publication.
 In regard to the now famous case con- corning the custody of her distinguished father, eX-Mayor Sutro, Mrs. Merritt has no statement to make. In fact the lady does not see how her views in this matter can be of public interest.
 Personally Sutros guardian does not say all this Her trusted attendants say it for her. These same henchmen care fully guard the doctress from the prying eyes of the curious, do her fetching and carrying, convey her decisions to those who await her word and attend to the elaborate system by which appointments are made by humble petitioners.
 At a glance the uninitiated visitor makes sure that the office of attendant to Dr. Emma Sutro Merritt is no sine cure. The successful clerk must possess an insolent ease, a power of lightning ob- servation, a descriptive pen, an eye that sizes up to the sixteenth part Of second the indications of the office clock, and an ear that can discern and discriminate the various taps of an intricate bell system.
 Four men are employed to do this work, and to each man is allotted separate duty. One man receives the VlSltor ana inquires the nature of his business. An- other keeps tally of the interview time card and states to the nicety of minute when ones turn" will come. To the third man 1allS the lnpOrldHt HlSSloH oL carrying the card. The card mans busi- ness is intricate. Below the name i1 neat Spencerian hand he states the nature or the visitors errapd, atfixing his signature to the same, with date, day, and exact time Then at a certain tinkle of a bell manipulated by an attendant in an inner room. man No 1 conveys the descriptive card to the doctor. Finally an attendant who supposedly basks in the smiles of the learned lady comes forth from the brightness within, his eyes contracting and blinking in the dingy waiting room light, and says, Mrs. Merritt will not be interviewed"
 This was poor scribe's experience.
