EVENING
BUYERS

Il =. in making the last purchases,
celebrating its last evening be-
fore the greatest Of holidays on the
swimming streets. and tired and mud
dy. went home early. giving over the
streets long before midnight to the few
soldiers who were taking their last look
at shore scenes before departing on the
last stage Of their sea voyage. It was
day full OF regrets alike for shop
keepers and belated buyers. one which
will bear its harvest of heartbreaks for
little ones whose parents put of the
making Of purchases. ard Of rheuma-
tism for the hardy ones who braved the
elements.
There was little Of Christmas joy in
the scenes OF the streets. The few peo-
pie who did not get out before. spent
the time In parading up and down the
thoroughfares and later with purchases
protruding from ill-wrapped parcels
made their wet and weary way home.
The stores were never Overcrowded.
and the buyers and clerks had plenty OF
time to visit over the making OF the
last trades. Where there were hundrEds
about during the pleasant nights Of for
mer years there were not tens. but
those who braved the elements in the
Pursuance OF their duty. were as jolly as
they well could be in the performance
Of their tasks. There was singing and
merrymaking in every quarter. on the
lines just outside the immediate center
os the city. and the eating houses shell
tered groups Of folk inclined To- make
the best Of the evening
The DAY was a disastrous one for the
many storekeepers. From the outlook
a GOOD days trade had been expected by
the tradesmen and their force was
ready 10 handle the shopping which
was expected. The trade did not come.

business during yesterday. that he did
not do more than one-ffth of that
amount. 1t was the frequent and con-
tinuous comment of the dealers that
the storm had cost the storekeepers a
sum which viii approximate $4,000 on
the basis of the business of the preced-
ing days. This must include every
branch of trade except perhaps the
cigar business. whose business went on
snokingly all day.
There was a return to the hack hab-
il from which Honolulu has been fall
ing out recently. There were many de-
lays on account Of the washing of earth
/, over the tracks OF the two street car
lines. The Tramway was in pilikfa from
Punahou to PaIama. and that there was
no serious accident is due only to the
fact that the state OF the road precIud-
ed the usual reckless time which ordi-
narily marks the progress of the arks.
There were several stops. owing to cars
leaving the track. one of the accidents
of this nature occurred during the
heavy storm OF the afternoon. at King
and Aiakea streets. The wash OF the
street had buried the track and the
first car bound east went off the rails
and for long time stood in the tracks
before the horses could get II back on
the rails
One of the longest delays was expert
enced at Beretania and PiikOi streets.
where there had been a wash Of earth
and rocks which buried the tracks COM
pietely. and kept the down car waiting
for some time. There We're numerous
occasions when the cars went off the
tracks and the men were out all day
at work in cleaning the rails. so that
a semblance Of schedule time only
could be made along the routes There
were many occasions when during the
waits passing hacks had to be called
into requisition to carry TO their desti-
nations people who braved the ele-
ments, and the chances, and looked for
a trip in an ark. only to find that there
was a better means Of conveyance at
hslnd.
lowing TO the washing Of silt upon the
tracks there was considerable delay
Upon the Rapid Transit cOmpany's line
Manager Balleatyne said last evening
that the only trouble was from the
wash. and that only two cars left the
track during the whole time One ot
H. ese was on Wilder avenue, and arose
from the washing of mud and small -
rocks upon the track. The silt came
down in such amounts that 1t was
deemed advisable to stop for short
time and clear the route. When this
was done the running OF the cars was
resumed upon the usual schedule, and
there was very little difficulty during
the remainder of the day. There was
such a demand for hacks that any per- D.
sons who depended upon their regular
men TO convey them TO evening enter ,
Lainments were disappointed. and the ,
stands were devoid of men from early
IN the evening.
Altogether it was day and an even
ne. which ranks with the wettest Hon ;
,IuIu has seen for nearly a year. and
he elements seemed in conspiracy u .
defeat Santa Claus, but as usual the ,
I'D gentleman won.

however, made 1t possible TO report an
ordinary amount of business
There has been only a very slisnt
falling off in the photograph trade
which line has ever been one Of the
greatest in -.alue o the dealers in this
city. Both the Honolulu Photo graph
Company and Davey report a fair de-
mand for all kinds of pictures and 4
very good request for the fancy scenes
The same state of affairs was report
ed by the druggists whose sundries
business has been Of a very fair order.
At both the Hebron Drug Company
and the Honolulu Drug Company there
was the same story of q business about
the average until the transforms Of
yesterday made 1t impossible for the
buyers to get out and fill their bills.
According TO the prior days sales had
yesterday been up to the average, there
would have been a better business than
that of last year to report.

CHRISTMAS.

AS in days of old the Christ child,
10 wondering world was born,
In stable rude and barren,
On that first glad Christmas morn
So today, long centuries after,
As it was in oden time,
Unto US Stranger cometh,
When the bells of Christmas chime.
Cometh down nor ever faiIeth
Since that first mysterious birth,
When the world lies wrapt in sIumbcr
And the moonlight paIes the earth;
Cometh down and angel music
AS he passes softly swells.
While from earth go up to greet Him.
Voices of the Christmas bells.
Through the world His way He taketh,
And where'er there needy be.
Clothes the naked, feeds the hungry,
IN the name of Chariiy;s
And the message that He bringeth-
Breathed again and yet again,
Token is of Christmas season:
Peace on earth. good will toward men,
