HAToHEs CHIcKENs BY STEAM.

The problem Of successful artificial in
cubation has been completely and prac-
tically solved through the inventive ge-
MUS Of Mr.. Geo. H. Stahl, of Quincy, Ill.
The uncertainty Of Matching chickens by
artificial means has been removed and
the expense and labor reduced almost to
zero by the Excelsior Incubator, which
Mr.. Stahl invented and manufactures.
The Excelsior Incubator is so simple in
its construction and operation, and so
perfectly automatic in its regulation Of
the supply of heat, moisture and fresh
air, that 1t practically runs itself. Thou
sands OF these perfect Matching machines
now in successful operation in all parts
of the country amply bear out the claim
of the manufacturer, that the Excelsior
is the lowest-priced first-class incubator
made.
Ex-President Clevelands Farm School
at Princeton, ~ j., has two Of Mr.. Stahl's
incubators, the manager Mr.. John Henry
Vroom, having selected them in prefer
ence to all other incubators. Mr.. Stahl
will gladly send postpaid an illustrated
book on incubation to anyone who writes
for it and mentions this paper

w. H. Little, agent for the German
American Fire Insurance Co., has re-
ceived an intimation that insurance
rates in HiIo will materially advance.
People are now paying from one to
two and one-half per cent and these

to take no risks on Front street be-
tween Church and POnahawai. A COM
plete insurance map of HiIO has been

SOLDIERS TWO.

Two soldiers of the transport St
Paul are left in town. One of them is
member of the South Dakota batta-
lion and was enlisted in San Francisco
about three weeks ago. The other is
a Minnesota recruit. Both realize the
plight they are in and will spend sleep
less nights wondering what fate awaits
them The California man had been
drinking swipes with natives the night
before and was asleep in the house of
his friends when the steamer sailed.
That is what he reported at the Con-
sulate The other man claims to have
been i'll at the house of a native in
Nuuanu valley. He is really under me-
dical treatment.
Yesterday afternoon the men called
at the United States Consulate and left
their statements. They were told to
call again at 10 o'clock this morning.
Later they met Lieutenant Winthrop,
post qUartermaster of United States
forces, and were sent to the Sailors
Home. There they spent the night.
The men want to go on to Manila.

NO FORT SITE Yet
Part Of New York May
Camp in Town.
A Temporary Arrangement Under
COnsideratiOn-LO for a
TraCt-TWo Men Left,


Colonel Barber stated last night that
no site had yet been selected for the
permanent barracks of the United
States garrison to be stationed here.
Numerous tracts OF land had been ex-
amined, but none have. as yet, met all
requirements. The Colonel viii exam
inc some large lots near town today.
Thus far the Allen tract and a Govern
ment plot near Kalihi seem to have
met with favor.
At best it viii be several weeks and
perhaps two months bfore the perma-
nent quarters viii be ready for the gar
rison. In the meantime the New York
ers will go into camp. If arrangements
can be made TO that end a part or a
whole of the regiment viii camp on
the \. @. II. parade grounds and oc-
cupy the old barracks and drill shed.
In case this scheme crowds up matters
too much a part of the regiment may
be taken TO the old baseball grounds at
Makiki.
Colonel BARRIERS plan TO use the par
ade grounds at the drill shed is in the
interest of convenience He purposes
to rent some large building in town TO
be used as mess hall, and it viii be
advisable, he thinks, to have the men
as near it as possible.
