Refined folks use refined foods;
that's the kind we sell.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-20

The price of thing is generally
what it is worth, competition
regulates that. The higher the price,
the better the quality as rule; but
price doesn't always guarantee
quality, the reputation of the seller
counts.
There's great responsibility selling
groceries.
Life and health depend on good
nutritious food.
That's the kind we sell.

GOV. SMITH IMPROVING
Will Recover If Nothing Unforeseen
Happens

Governor A. J. Smith of the Soldiers
Home continues to improve, and his
condition last evening was highly salts
factory to his physicians and friends.
To quote one of the doctors: Governor
Smith is improving, and unless some
thing unforeseen happens he will recov-
er. He rested considerably easier yes
terday, and slept two hours during the
afternoon"
Bradley, the old soldier who attempted
to assassinate the governor, Is apparent
~ breaking down under the strain, and
he passed bad night at the county Jail
Friday. He complains that he Is sick
and should not be confined with lot
of thieves and murderers, as he terms
them, though by what process of reason
ing he exempts himself from the latter
class Is not exactly clear. The other
prisoners at the Jail annoy and make fun
of him. he says. He wants to be sent
to the county hospital. 1t Is thought
that Bradley will be arraigned and ex-
amined before Santa Monica justice
of the peace next Tuesday.

speaker; he Is a sort CT circus. He kept the
party in smiles and roars for good while,
partly by his genial nonsense and partly
by his remarkable facial contoruons. His
own frank references to certain gold
brick transaction in which he was once
engaged caused good deal of merriment.
Frank F. Davis kept up his reputa tion
as a neat after-dinner speaker by his re-
marks on San Pedro harbor.
Walter g. Moore had some interesting
things to say about candidates. He ex-
pressed himself as thoroughly in favor Of
civil service reform and said that he had
recently addressed a national meeting OF
chief engineers upon the subject of the
permanent retention of those Officers in
their places. Mr.. Moore created some
CONSERVATION by saying that he hoped the
next time the Republicans nominated
for this district, they would
choose a man who could make speech

widely and emphatica commented upon
during the afternoon, and he made mat

In another speech later in the day. The
doughty fire chief. as well as several OF
the other orators, took occasion In the
course of their remarks to add word for
Ed Carson's boom.
Frank Dominguez spoke with eloQuence
on the subject of "Barbecues," and w. H.
Workman closed the program with a re-
Spouse on behalf Of the pioneers.
The balance of the day was spent in vari-
Gus ways. The crowd had been reinforced
by the arrival of the notorious Major Don
nell, Bull" Williams. John Gish, Isidore
Dockweiler and several others, and another
informal banquet was started. at which
most of these gentlemen were called upon
for speeches.
Those who had heard sufficient. eloQuence
at the dinner speech making put In their
time pitching horseshoes, visiting the old
adobe house built ninety years ago by Don
Manuel Dominguez, and amusing them
selves as their tastes directed. The many
excellent opportunities for doing politics
were by no means ignored, and many were
the button-holings and quiet discussions.
Most of the guests returned to the city
on the evening train, although good-sized
delegation went down to San Pedro to at
tend political meeting at that place.
