Hawaii, Jan. 10. 1901.

Hawaii, Jan. 10, 1901.
Editor Adyertiser:-I have about
come to the conclusion that most of
the business men of Honolulu are like
the Heather Chinese for if their
they certainly are peculiar.
For instance, some time ago 1 wrote
to would-be company promoter to
fulfill certain promises that he had
made, for services rendered, but I got
no reply. l wrote again and again; still
no reply. then wrote to the chief pro-
moter, with same result no reply
Again L wrote to a real estate agent
who had promised to transact some
business for me, but got no reply. I
wrote again and again, with same re-
suit, no reply.
Again l wrote to a stock broker to
buy certain shares of sugar stock, but
got no reply. / also wrote to my agent
to come to a settlement and to send me
statement of account and the cash
on hand, but again no reply I received
money orders which the postmaster re-
fused to pay, through some irregulari-
ties of the postal department, and I
wrote to the postal authorities in Ho-
nolulu, but got no reply. And I have
sent other letters that demand an in
slant reply, but get none. I have sent
bank checks, postal orders, stamps and
silver through the mail and got no re-
ply for months, and sometimes not at
all. Now, what is the matter, can any
one explain? COUNTRYMAN.
