NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

For some vel Ks past an a,iedsei
newspaper Of this city known as the
Advertiser has been repeatedly beaten
by ifs more enierprising neighbor In
the collection Of news In order to
hide its defeats II now resorts to such
statements as the following, which
appeared yesterday morning:
For some weeks past reporters OF
other journals representing them
selves as from the Advertiser have
been securing manuscript aad other
matter intended for publication In this
paper Ships have been boarded for
mail in our name and manuscripts so
licited and obtained The other day
this swindle was peTpetuated on the
purser OF an incoming steamer. and
also upon Rev Mr. Kincald in coEnec-
ton with the manuscript OF his
Thanksgiving sermon"
Such a statement is a reflection
upon the character OF every newspa-
per reporter employed in this city.
and that It is untrue no one knows
better than the editor Of the Adyer-
tiser. II Is not necessary for repu-
table reporters 10 resort to lying and
sneak methods TO obtain news. and
there Is but one man employed by any
newspaper in this town who would be
guilty OF such conduct. That one
man is employed upon the Advertiser,
and be is generally known in the pro-
fession as the sneak reporter" That
he Is not only a sneak. but a con
temptible liar as well. every active
newspaper worker in Honolulu kncws.
and all shun the man, even his fell
low-laborers upon the Advertiser.
This man was sent on Thurs
day to the Rev. William Morris
Kincaid TO try and secure the
manuscript of that gentleman's
Thanksgiving sermon The detail
hook OF The Republican shows that on
Monday. November nth. it contained
this entry: MSS. for Thanksgiving
sermons" This was a memoranda for
the editor 10 detail some one to Sc
cure promises OF the manuscripts OF
the various ministers who were to
preach on Thanksgiving Day. The
same entry was carried fer several
days until arrangements for the
manuscripts had been made. On Fri
day. November 18th, Mr.. Kineaid was
seen and promised TO furnish mis-
manuscript saying at the time that
it was n case OF first come first served.
On last Tuesday. November Goth, the
editor Of The Republican called Mr..
Kinoaid up on the telephone and
asked him when the manuscript could
be secured. 10 which answer was
made that il would be ready on Ned
nesday evening at o'clock. which
MIR. Kinoaid changed later to Thurs
day morning al o'clock This fact
was made known on Thursday by Mr..
Hincaid TO reporter Taylor Of the Ad-
vertiser who asked FOR the manu-
script The fact is the Advertiser
never seemed to have thought of try
ing 10 secure the manuscript for any
OF the Thanksgiving sermons until
Thanksgiving morning. while The Re-
publican. with its usual foresight,
arranged for them two weeks ago.
The only wonder is that the editor
OF the Advertiser permits himself to
thus be imposed upon by the sneak
reporter He alone, OF all the raen
employed upon newspapers in this
city. would be guilty of lying and mis-
representing his paper or his POI
sition for the purpose OF trying TO

faxed an interview with Baron Kaui-
bahrs. the Russian Army officer who
passed through here some time ago.
never having seen the officer while In
port and his aneaeed interview being
denied by the Baron over his sigma
ture.
The Republican warns the people OF
Honolulu to beware OF the Adver.

employed in newspaper work in Ho-
nolulu. with this one exception. are
men who have some pride in their
calling and in their OWE good naIae.
