Troubles of Honolulu Watchmender
Over a Photo Fad

Have you got picture in this

piece for repairs.

time l open a watch case "a picture of

when the watch is repaired l can't tell
which from what. So l tell my custom
ers to look over the collection and take
any picture they want. Sometimes mis-
takes occur. The other day a goo-goo-
eyed dame rushed in and said: Look a.
here, mister, did my husband have this
watch fixed at your shop?' 1 said he
did. Well said she, what I want to
know is whether that picture was in it
when you took the watch?' It was the
photo of a staving-looking half white

:. UNITED STATES Is SINGULAR
]. W. Foster Gives a List of Authori
ties for That Construction.

In his recently published work ON "a
Century of American Diplomacy" Cen
eral John W. Foster former Secretary
of State, uses the singular verb In con-
nection with the United States, and is
called to account therefor by a prom
inent critic, who admonishes him that
ito make United States a singular
noun would require an amendment to
the Federal Constitution
Mr.. Foster has spent considerable
time and labor in making an investiga-
ton OF this subject, and concludes from
all the testimony he has been able TO
gather that the point is not well taken.
81 have found" said Mr.. Foster this
morning, that in the early days Of the
republic the prevailing practice was
the use OF the plural, but even then
many public men employed the sim

gular, and of late years the latter has
become the rule. Among statesmen
who have habitually used the singular
verb are:
Hamilton, Jefferson, Seward, Blaine,
Edmunds, E. J. Phelps, Webster, Ben
ton, Fish. Frelinghuysen, Motley, Reid.
Gresham, Silas Wright. Marcy, Evarts.
Bayard, Charles Francis Adams De-
pew Olney.
''Of living professors of international
law Woolsey. of Yale; Moore, of Co
lumbia; Huffcut, of Cornell, and James
C. Carter, of New York, use the sin
gular. Andrew Jackson was the first
President to adopt the singular verb
in, his official papers. In the earlier
messages of the Presidents the plural
form is usually found. but since Lin
coin all of them, including Grant,
Harrison and Mckinley, have In
variably used the singular. In the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court during
the first half century the plural form
is generally used, but the singular ap-
pears occasionally. In later years the
court has used the singular. The same
remark applies to treaties with foreign
nations. Washington Correspondence

YANKEE
SHOEMAKERS
Not Drawn to the
Scheme Of
Hill.
REFUSE TO
TAKE STOCK
Proposed Shoe Factory for Homo
lulu Does Not interest Lynn
Capitalists.

| From present indications the shoe
factory, which Mr.. Henry Hill, ar
Eastern promoter, has been trying te
establish in Honolulu, has reached q
|standstill in it's development Whether
or not the enterprise will be brought to
any state of completion, or whether the
venture will stay in it's present fix re-
mains to be seen.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Henry
Hill is as follows: An incorporated
stock company with a capital stock OF
s25, 900 is to be formed, a factory erect
ed and machinery sufficient to turn out
two hundred pairs of shoes a day is to
be built When Hill came to the ISL
ands he succeeded in interesting Mr.
w. r. Castle, Mr.. Weaver and several
other gentlemen in his scheme. They
would not agree, however, to subscrib-
ing the entire amount desired. Mr..
Weaver told the promoter that if he
We're able to raise $4,000 elsewhere, a
like amount would be raised in the Ha-
waiian Islands This was agreed to,
and in a few days the sum stipulated
was on the subscription list. OF this
10 per cent was paid in and the manu-
facturer left for the States.
When next heard from Hill was in
the city of Lynn, Massachusetts. He
laid the matter before the millionaire
shoemakers of the New England city,
but they refused to take hold of it.
Whether they feared that the enterprise
was too visionary and too lacking in
the elements that make fulfilment prob
able, Hill has not stated in his letters.
All that is known is that, like Column
bus, when eager to prove the rotun-
dity of the earth to the Spanish geog-
raphers, Hill has passed from capitalist
to capitalist without understanding
any one of them.
SO far he has not found his Isabella.
In his last letter Hill had come further
West, and was busy showing the cap
ftalists of st. Louis the advantages that
would result from being stockholders in
a Honolulu shoe factory.
Hill seems to have all faith in his
scheme. He has placed orders with
several large houses furnishing shoe
machinery, orders that are to be filled
as soon as he gives the word. He has
been busy advocating the enterprise
with which he is the prime mover, for
several months, and his letters. while
expressing regrets that he has as yet
been unsuccessful in making other peo-
pie think as he does, are, at the same
time filled with hope in ultimate sue
cess.
Hope is not filing the breasts of
those in Honolulu who signed the sub
scription list that shows where the 9TH
er half of the money is coming from.
There is beginning to be room in the
breasts of these for something else AS
one gentleman said yesterday. who is
acquainted with the affairs of the con-
Germ, THE subscribers have not yet
come to the conclusion that things are
pau. but there is growing feeling that
they might as we'll kiss the percentage
they paid in fond goodbye and con-
slider the incident closed"

NEW TOBACCO COMPANY.
American and Continental Companies
May Be Absorbed by Il.

NEW YORK. June THE Journal Of
Commerce says:
1t is reported that new tobacco COM
pany is TO be formed which is to take
over both the American and Cmtinen-
tai companies and also the new cigar
company recently organized and now
acquiring various cigar plants through
out the country. Another rumor Is that
there will be a large Increase in the
capital stock Of the American Company
for the purpose Of acquiring the Con-
tinental and the Cigar Company.
Some surprise is expressed az these
rumors as It was only a short time ago
that the American Tobacco Company
separated its plug tobacco business from
Its smoking and cut tobacco business.
transferring the former to the Con;in-
entail Company. The American Com
pany also amended It's by laws 50 as

II is widely believed as already stat
ed, that the Universal Tobacco Com
pany now being organized. is to be
taken over either by the American or
the Continental Company or by both
jointly.
