BRICQUETTES
DISCHARGED
Pressed Coal Dust for Fuel an

port.

Part of the European cargo which
the German ship Agnes brought to
Honolulu is a large consignment OF
coal-dust bricquettes which are in
tended for the Koloa Plantation, OF
which Hackfeld & Co. are the agents.
The bricquettes are not of the shape
of building bricks. but are about four
inches thick, four inches wide and six
inches long, the corners being rounded.
They are intended as a fuel and are
largely used throughout Europe. The
method of manufacturing them is by
collecting the coal dust and placing it
in moulds. The pressing is done by
hydraulic process with heat applied,
which Furnishes the exterior Of the
bricks. They are light, compact and
easily transported. In being discharg-
ed from the Agnes they are handled
carefully, as if dropped they break cas-
lily, and leave huge pile Of coal dust.
The bricks are very cheap, and are
brought here much cheaper than coal
in bulk can be landed from ports that
are nearer than Bremen. The bricks
are being discharged in boxes and are
taken directly to a small schooner in
which they will be conveyed to Koloa
Planta ton.

manager is an American, who has adopt
ed what appears to be a unique money
saving scheme. After the juice is crush

through some process and is allowed to

alcohol offsets all operating expenses.
The sugar is sold at a clear profit.

hatchet and highbinder club, and it con-
sists of all young See Yup Chinese cooks.
Now, Mr.. C. A, you are mistaken. We
are all good and peaceful and respectful
See Yup young men. My father is a poi
FOUNDER, myself a waiter and my brother
a washerman, and the Chinese consul is
a See Yup man too. Now YOU see we See
Yups are good fellows.
This club is formed to take care OF the
sick See Yups, and If too old to work We
sends the old See Yups home. OF course,
the rich See Yups Will pay for the ex-
penses for all charitable works. You
must not say too much of the Vi Yee
Tong See Yup Club. because all our See
Yup mandarins are officials and all rich
See Yups here in Honolulu are members
of the VI Yee Tong See Yup Club. About
hatchets, We never use them deadly
things when We are not provoked, and
when we are provoked you know, Mr..

their so-called cure by getting the en-

the case of a reputable physician like
DR.. Camp, I don't believe the board
would have any objection to his MAX

though of course I can only speak for
myself, as a member of the board. The
Board of Health has not, however, as
far as / know, any intention of making
experiments on it's own account, though

any physician who does. The objection
all along has been to the nostrums and
cure-alls which are sent here every
merit in themselves, but which with
the endorsement of the Board of
Health might be of some selling value.
