GETS NINE MONTHS INSTEAD OF
A WIFE.
A Marriage Interrupted Because the
Groom was Caught Stealing to Pro-
vide for the Bridal Bed.

In an effort to provide housekeeping
outfit of bedding, towels, fancy pillow
slips, blankets and that sort of thing,
o. Herrick got nine months on the reef.
Herrick was assistant marker and
distributor at the Honolulu Steam
laundry. 1t was his business when
laundry came in to mark it with the
owners mark, and when it had been
lsundried 10 distribute it according to
marks and make it up into bundles for
delivery.
Herrick was engaged to be married
In fact the wedding day was set for
last Wednesday. AS a married man
and the head of a household he would
need many things with which to fur
nish his house. He undertook to sup
ply himself from the property of the
customers of the laundry. When
laundry came in to be marked if he
saw a piece that he liked, according to
the evidence adduced on his trial, in
stead of marking it with the owners
mark, he would put his own personal
mark on it. Then when it was laun-
dried and came back to be distributed
it would be distributed without ques-
ton according to mark to his own bun
die.
Herrick had an eye for good material
and fine quality. When some of Mrs.
Glade's fancy pillow slips came in
worth $12 a pair, he marked one pair
of them with his own mark, doubtless
| intending them for the bridal bed.
Blankets of soft texture and fine quail
ity went the same way Towels and
bath towels that were of the quality to
go with porcelain bath tubs scented
soap, and violet water, took the same
course. Wden Herricks room at Iwilei
was searched, fifty dollars worth of
| this sort of refined plunder was found.
Herrick has appealed from the Dis
trict Court and his bride to be is incon-
solable.
Martin Newman, Herrick's superior
| in the office of marker and distributor
at the laundry is on trial on a similar
charge today While the laundry peo-
| pie think he is as guilty as Herrick
the evidence against him is not nearly
so strong. When his room was search
ed only a couple of articles of trifling
value were found that came from the
laundry, and as to these there was not
conclusive evidence that he did not
come by them legitimately.

HAVING A GREAT RUN ON CHAM
BERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY.

Manager Martin, of the Pierson drug
store, informs us that he is having
a great run on Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. He sells five bottles of that
medicine to one of any other kind, and
it gives great satisfaction. In these
days of la grippe there is nothing like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to stop
the cough, heal up the sore throat and
lungs and give relief within very
short time. The sales are growing, and
all who try it are pleased with its
prompt action.-South Chicago Daily

INFECTED HOUSES BURNED
MERCHANT AND NUUANU BLOCK
DESTROYED.
Patient Taken From One of Them Two
Days Ago-Most Of Property Belong
ed to Mr. Damon.

The fifth sanitary fire took place this
morning. The block burned was that
between the store of Lovejoy & Com
pany, on Nuuanu street, and the Chas.
Brenig building at the corner of Nuu-
anu and Queen. In other words, all the
buildings between the Nuuanu street
entrance to the Honolulu Iron Works
and the building occupied by the Sea-
mans club at the Queen street corner.
Leong Yet, a Chinaman who died at
the Chinese hospitals pest house, was
taken from the Honolulu Restaurant,
concern with big sign across it's
front at the foot of Merchant street.
This was the center of infection but
the other buildings were jammed close
against it and it was deemed best to
have them destroyed as we'll
The block of houses contained thrse
Chinese restaurants, two Japanese bar
Der shops and a Japanese ice cream sa-
loon. A building at the upper corner of
the burnt district belonged to l.. Adler,
formerly shoe merchant and cobbler
in house a few doors below. A lot and
some of the cottages in rear, near the
Honolulu Iron Works, belonged to e.
and H. Grimes. The balance, and really
the largest portion of the property be-
longed to S. NJ. Damon, Minister of FL
nance.
The fire department reached the scene
of operations about o'clock. Water
was turned on all of the neighborIng
| buildings for over an hour. In the
meanwhile the houses to be burned
were being oiled and the iron roofing
| opened. The blaze was quick and hot
AS there was little wind, however nc
special difficulty was met with in con-
fning the blaze to the buildings to be
| burned.
| One of the buildings burned, at least
was a landmark of old Honolulu. 1t was
I 4
! Merchant street, the one in which the
fire was started, and the one that had
| the sign, Honolulu Restaurant over the
| front. j. o. Carter says it was stand

dealers in assorted goods, but princi-
I pally interested in wines and spirits. /
was afterwards occupied by Mitchell &
Fales, ship chambers, John G. Lewis
general merchandise, and by brother
of William McCandless as a restaur-
ant.
The building just mauka of it though
an old one was not nearly so old. 1t was
occupied for long time by T. A. Davis
a general outfitter for sailors and yes
sells.
The site of the building next to the
| Brenig block was the site IN 1847 o.

pany were sugar factors and west

tory of the sugar industry. The Ladd &

by A. P. Everett auctioneer and the
late James I. Dowsett was his book
keeper. Later 1t was the United State!

sui and c. r. Bishop his clerk. F. L

WHARF RATs sENTENCED.

Eight of the wharf rats arrested for
stealing shamsu from the goods piled
up at the fish market, were sentenced
to four months on the reef by Judge
Wilcox this morning. The charge
against them was larceny in the second
degree. Sentence was suspended for
rnlrteen months in the cases of Kaho-
kua Kapule and Alex Robinson on ac-
count of their youth and the evidence
tending to show that they were led into
the acts by others. The charge against
Joe Wana was nolle pressed because
the evidence showed merely that he
consorted with the gang, but did not
show that he had stolen anything. -
Those sentenced were John Kahuila,

"MAsCorrED AT THE oRPHEuM.

"Mascotte" seems likely to live up to
it's own rtymology at the Orpheum.
Kunkel and Henderson kept the audi
ence in perpetual good humor last
evening inte; spersing the jokes of the
libretto with clever illusions to local
events that set the house off into a
roar every few minutes. Mrs. Stanton
and Mr.. Rockwell playing together as
Bettina and Pippo gave a clever and
pleasing performance, the coquettesh
sulks of 3ettina being very charmingly
rendered. The military march by the
chorus in Hessian costume received
reiterated applause and the large audi
ence seemed delighted with "Mascotte"
as a whole.

CHAPTER VIII.

"Mr Monteith is coming tonight,
Miss Troll, so, IL you are not engaged
with Lady Westray, you might stay
in the drawing-room and play to u.s."
said MEs Stuart languidly.
She reclined In luxurious easy
chair, her reddish-auburn head among
the velvet cushions, one beautiful
white hand lazily stroking the Persian
cat in her lap. Lilith Stuart had a
strange affection for these animals.
Could 1t be. as aurora Leigh" says
the work of woman is, symbolical?
Elspeth Troll looked up quickly from
her seam, taking in at one swift glance
the attitude of the graceful, sinuous
figure in its pale-green evening-gown
trimmed heavily With creamy lace. ur
til it looked like that of a Thetis spring
ing from the sea-foam. There were
times when, even 20 Elspeth, who had
known her for six years, Lilith was a
mystery.
Il shall do so II you desire it, Miss
Stuart" she replied. in her grave, quiet
tone.
There wa. nothing in common be-
tween these two young women, and
silence followed Elspcth's reply. She
went on quietly with her work. while
Iilith played with her Persian, alter
nately strokins 1t and pulling its ears.
Presently steps sounded on the soft
ly-carpeted corridor outside. and the
door was thrown open. the footman
announcing with ceremony, "Mr. Evan
Monteith. -
Lilith did not rlcc. but lay back in
her chair, her face turned towards the
