The New Year Begsts New Things

For the boys. Have you ever stopped
to think what difference there is in
the makes of boys clothing? Many
suits are bought because the price is
low. 1t is often the price that governs
the purchaser, and not the quality or
the substantial makes. This theory
seems to be based on the idea that any
kind of a suit is good enough for boy,
as he will soon wear it out. That is
not good economy, for if you would pay
a little more, and consider quality anu
make, you would have suit for the
boy that would always look well ard
outwear two suits of the inferior grades
To buy the best is money in pocket; to
buy the poorest is money wasted. We
make a speciality to keep the best at
popular prices.

BOER CHIVALRY.

When the English went to war the
Beers were regarded as savages who
would probably mutilate the dead, kill
prisoners, and respect neither flags of
truce nor the Red Cross. Now an Eng
lish officers letter, printed in the Man
chester Guardian, tells how at Mayors
fontein the Beers showed an act OF
chiValry of which any race might be
proud. A small vanguard of British
were hopelessly but pluckily charging
up to the very Boer trenches, when the
Dutchmen, moved by the spectacle
threw aside their guns and dragged the
invaders into their lines unframed.
Then when they had been disarmed the
Boer commander said: There, you
are free to go, and we will not reopen
fire until you are within your own
lines "

THE NAN HAD No PLAGUE
HOPKINS SWITCH CHINAMAN
ALL RIGHT.
Had Pneumonia and Meningitis-Doc-
tors Surprised But Pleased-Ah
Sans Family Returned.

Yong Look, the old Chinaman taken
from Hopkins switch, Waikiki road,
Thursday morning did not have the
plague.
This announcement came to the
Board of Health office late yesterday
afternoon and was received with un-
nlistakable signs of pleasure at all
hands, and was equally pleasing to peo-
pie down town, for the infection in the
case was beginning to appear as vex-
atious problem.
The man died about 8 o'clock and the
post norton was held in the late after
noon. In the meanwhile the Board of
Health had visited and condemned. the
premises of All Sam near Hopkins
switch, from which the case came. Be-
sides DR.. Hoffman, DR.. Wood and Dr.
Peterson witnessed the autopsy. All
were convinced that the case was one
of pneumonia and meningitis, and that
there was no plague.
This case was a remarkable one,
showing the great difficulty in deter
mining between a case of pneumonia
and a case of pneumonia plague. Be
ginning with DIR. McGrew and going
through a string of physicians up to
the president of the Board of Health
all agreed that the case was plague
On the strength of the opinion the pa
tient was removed to the plague hospi-
tai, the people at All Sans premises
were sent into quarantine at Kalihi
and the store and residence were con-
demned to be burned.
The case of a mistake of this kind
was not unexpected on account of the
difficulty in distinguishing between the
two diseases. There is but the slightest
difference at best in the symptoms
However, in this particular instance,
the indications were most pronounced
on the side of pneumonia plague.
In addition to the showings of the
autopsy and slides, Dr. Hoffman is
making cultures from the body of the
dead man, which will be ready this ev-
ening.
All Sam, the Hopkins switch store
keeper, who, with his family, had been
sent into quarantine at Kalihi was
promptly notified by telephone that the
case was not plague. This morning the
eleven people were given baths and re-
leased

The Kauai steamers report very
rough weather at Kauai. The Waia-

weather too rough to work at Kilauea.
The steamer Charles Nelson has got

With the work of the island steamers
and the deep water vessels this week
the large stocks of sugar on the island
have been decreased a little.
The whaler Gayhead, which left San

The schooner G. w. Watson went on

Novelties in NcckWeaT

Are among the timely things Of the
new year. Never in the history of neck
wear has there been so many varieties
made of the very choicest silks. Pat
tern designs are characteristics of these
new makes. String Ties, Puffs, Scarfs,
Four-in- Hands, English Squares and
many other of the latest patterns are
to be found in our scock. A fine article
of necl1vear has become a necessity for
him who would be well dressed. No
part of his dress is more conspicuous,
and when the best can be bought for
what inferior goods cost no one should
pass by the bargains we are now Of

AERIAL NAVIGATION.

The most hopeful promise for aerial
navigation lies in the fact that for the
first time it is existing the sanguine
interest of a large number of distin-
guished scientific men. The most i'm
portant contributions to the subject
made in recent years are those of Mr.
Langley of the Smithsonian institute.
and now Lord Rayleigh, the distin-
guished authority on chemistry and
physics, announces his faith in the
speedy navigation of the air. He looks
forward to the time when it will not
be necessary to relieve beseiged for
tresses like Ladysmith, Kimberley and
Mafeking. The garrisons will simply
fly away when they are ready.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9-Returns re-
ceived from General Corbin indicate that
he underestimated rather than overesti-
mated the fact when he predicted the
Lawton fund would reach the noble proper
tions of $4,000. Cash and checks to the
amount OF $500 were received this morn
ing, swelling the aggregate receipts TO
date to $70.569. A telegram was received
from General Shafter that the subscrip-
tions in San Francisco amount TO about
$4,000. In addition there is also about Sc 600
subscribed by members OF the Union
League Club, of New York. yet to be trans
ferred 20 Washington. General Corbin says
that among the most generous contribu-
tors to the fund not yet credited have
been the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies. both companies having
carried all messages free OF charge-the
Western Union carrying more than 5000
In tolls and the Postal more than 500.

OUR CONSUL AT PRETORIA.
Mr.. Hollis, Like Mr.. Macrum, Cannot
Act Officially for Britain.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Mail advices are
just coming to hand from United States
Consul Macru-n, explaining in detail the
situation at Pretoria at the outbreak of
the war, and his own conduct respecting
the representation of British interests in
The Transvaal. 1t appears from these that
Mr.. Macrum, like his successor at Fre-
toria, Mr.. Hollis, was placed under n tech
nical limitation in the exercise of his func-
tions by the Boer government AMI while
he was permitted 20 disburse the funds
sent him by the British government for
the comfort of the British prisoners in
Pretoria. he did so under the distinct stip-
Clation that he was acting unoffcially.
Possibly the motive of tire Boer govern
ment in refusing to allow the American
consul to act officially was a desire on
it's part to force the British government
into some official recognition Of the status
OF the South African republics. If so, the
effort failed and Mr.. Macrum and his suc-
work of mercy without molestation from
the Boer government. This object being
secured. aud there being nothing else at
present in the nature of business touch
ing British interests in Pretoria that re-
of that government. the State Department
here is disposed to allow the situation to
drift along without change or protest be-
cause the Boer government has not seen
fit to allow the American consul to act in
an official manner. There is nothing In
Mr.. Macrum's report to throw the faint
est Ugh. on his inexplicable action IL ieav-
ing his post In the middle of the war.
The State Department has heard direct
ly from Webster Davis, assistant secretary
Of the interior. Mr.. Davis is now at Cape
Town and his appearance at that place
gave rise to all sorts Of rumors to the
effect that he was charged with some
weighty diplomatic mission and especially
with a purpose TO mediate between the
belligerents in South Africa. AS a mat
ter Of fact. Mr.. Davis went TO South
Africa solely for his health, seizing on
The opportunity to pay visit to United
States Consul General Stowe, at Cape
Town, who is his near relative. Unfor-
tunately the gentleman gave some f1unda-
tion for the rumors referred 20 by project
ing journey to Pretoria In company with
Mr.. Stowe. but this trip was abandoned
as soon as 1t appeared that its purpose
might be construed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-It is stated here
on authority that the United States gov
ernment is not cooperating with Germany
any other government in representa-
tions to the British government respect
ing the seizure of goods destined for Por-
tuguese East Africa. Moreover, it does not
contemplate any such cooperation. The
difference between the cases of the seized
German vessels and the seizure Of Ameri-
can goods, the latter in British vessels,
is so pronounced that the same principles
would have nc application. So it is the de-
termination of the department to conduct
its negotiations on this point single-handed,
and that is now being done. Mr.. Choate,
the American ambassador at London, is
in daily communication with the Foreign
Office, as well as with the Department of
State. on this subject. The negotiations
are now in that phase where both sides
are endeavoring to develop facts respecting
the seizures, and the final answer of the
British government to our representations,
made last week. is not expected for several
days.

feet of the unexpected Boer fire when the
brigade was deploying from quarter col
umn. Mr. Whigham writes: Some one
shouted retire, and the day was lost. The
Highlanders broke and run-there is no
other word for it. In few minutes the
brigade had been defeated and the issue
ended. They did not run far-only a few
hundred yards-but when they rallied they
were shaken and confused. They lay fat
on the ground between the British guns
and the Boer trenches. About o'clock the
Boer rifle fire greatly increased. Stimuli
taneously the brigade was seen in full re-
treat. Back they came in a wave. No
officer could stop it. 1t was the most un-
pleasant sight the British soldier had ever
beheld. Certainly a sight never to be for
gotten. 1t is difficult TO say what happened
next, until Major Ewart rode up with an
order from General Methuen, which was
almost an entreaty, to the effect that all he
asked of the brigade was to hold the po-
sition until dark. So riddled and shattered
was the brigade that Ewart had actually
no other officer to help him give the or
der to the scattered men. 1t was no
small thing to ask OF the Highlanders that
they should again face the CALLING fire for
five mortal hours. Still very fair rally
was effected. The pipers played some
what dolefully and the brigade at last got
back to a spot where it had a certain
amount of cover. There the men lay until
Boer guns. till then absolutely silent, sud-
denly come into play. 1t wanted but this
last straw to break the nerve of the ral-
lying Highlanders. When the first shrapnel
burst what remained of the brigade, with
one accord, came right back as far as the
field hospital, hopelessly beaten for the
day. They were not fit even to guard the
baggage. They had lost fifty-seven officers.
