We especially call the attention of the white

use I'HE ADVANCE as an advertising medium TO reach
the public. The ADVANCE is the only colored organ
recognized in general by the Twin City Afro-Ameri-
cans. The "ads" on this page, composed entirely of
cards of eolored business enterprises, well pro-
fessiona, bespeaks the progress of colored cti
zens These people, as well as Afro Americans in pri-
vate life, spend hundreds of dollars among white
merchants, and The ADVANCE, who echoes the senti-
ment of people, asks only of the white merchants
to recognize this paper as "a medium through which
to reach coored people, as you recognize the Swed
ish, German and other white papers published for
specific benefit of its nationality. To the white mer
chants of the Twin Cities: We need your support as

HONOLULUS WHARF RATS.
VERITABLE NEST OF THEM ON
THE FRONT.
Sleep In Old Boilers and Lumber Yards
And Pick up Living in Any Old Way
A Visit to Them.

Few people who witness the merry,
interesting boys along the waterfront
diving for nickels in the bay realize or
even imagine the lives some of them
live. They seldom appear except on
steamer days, and then are happy and
impress one most favorably.
AS a matter of fact, however, Homo
lulu mas the worst nest of wharf rats on
the face of the earth. New York $
waterfront is as the door of a sane
tuary compared to it. Honolulu's
waterfront is today raising the drunk
ards and thieves of the future, and do
ing it very fast.
A short time ago the attention of a
number of good people was called to
this matter Men along the front had
thought it out. One night not long
since a committee led by a lady and
directed by a waterfront Waterman
visited several of the haunts of the
wharf rats. Any number of boys, rang
ing in years from ten to eighteen were
found. Some were running around,
apparently on stealing expeditions.
They would fly from the visitors and
could not be questioned. Most of them
were natives and part Chinese, though

on the rounds the party came to an
old steamers boiler, a very large af-
fair, and one of the men suggested that
they see what was inside of it. Crouch

there was a scramble and twenty boys
ran out at the other end. The party
struck a light and examined the inside
of the boiler. They found there a con-
tinuous bed of gunny sacks upon which
the lads were sleeping.
Subsequent investigating by the same

for a week or ten days. They sleep in
the old boilers and in lumber piles at
night. In the day time they dive for
money or pick up coal or wood and sell

games, and shoot craps for small
amounts of money Their instruction
is probably CLEANED from the steve
dores and Russian War gamblers on
the front.

they having simply been lost in the
shuttle" Others have long since
dropped from school and have been lost
