1t could not be had owing to the con-
gested condition of the wharves all
the time. The Government said that
there was no chance to give more
room at present and there would be
no money for the fitting up Of the
wharves anyhow.
The Government was of the opinion
that the building of the new Bishop
wharf at the Waikiki end of the har,
Dor would relieve the congestion to
some extent and that the building of
sheds would permit the Inauguration
of a plan for the receiving of goods
at any time for shipment upon a Ger.
tain steamer. and In the event Of
there being no room in the ship for
the particular cargo. then II could be
held under cover without any re-cart-
age back to the warehouses.
AS to rates of freight there was
conclusion not satisfactory to the
shippers. The steamship men stated
lat owing to the coming in force Of
the American shipping regulations
there could be no reductions in the
rates at the present time.

WORD FROM
CAMARINCS
He Wants the Temperance People
TO Visit Gambrinus
Gardens.
Honolulu, H. T., August 26, 1902.


Editor Advertiser: Before the ex-
piration of the Primo beer saloon IL
censes 1 should like to draw the atten-
ton of the Anti-Saloon League MEM
bers and others identified with that
movement. as we'll as broad-minded,
unprejudiced citizens, to my establish
ment on Alakea street between King
and Merchant streets, known TO every
body as the "Gambrinus Gardens; to
the exceptional and peculiar condition
of affairs that renders my place SO
popular with the public.
In the first place "Gambrinus Car
dens'' is more of lunch room and re-
sort for the recreation of the laboring
classes than a mere beer drinking re-
sort. I furnish a substantial hot lunch
during the noon hour of every day
Artisans and mechanics, clerks and
many others crowd here at that time
to avail themselves of cooling draught
of good wholesome beer and square
meal for the small sum of ten cents.
After partaking of his lunch, the
workingman, instead of having to get
out on the street to loaf the rest OF
his noon hour, as in the case in the
average twenty-five cents restaurant, IS
at liberty to sit at ease, reading the
papers in the cool lanais of my estab-
lishment until the blowing of the Whls-
tie calls him back to toll.
MY place has now been running for
a year, and, in all that time the police
have never found it necessary, owing
to the objections which are so often
urged against saloons by temperance
organizations, to interfere in any way,
shape, form or manner.
The ''Garnbrinus Gardens are always
open to the inspection of visitors and
representatives of the Anti-Saloon
League are earnestly invited to drop
in during the noon hour and see for
themselves the benefit derived by the
working class.
1 am sure that if the matter We're put
fairly to the test of public opinion, the
great majority would champion the
cause of more such institutions like
mine. Is it fair that a few temperance
people should set themselves up to say
what the people shall do, or what they
shall not do? Let the pubic speak
for themselves!

Big Shark Caught.
(Rv 4 ssociated Press

SOMERVILLE, N. J.. Aug. 30.-Griggs-
town. situated on the Delaware and Rari-
wick and Trenton is excited to-day over
the capture Of a 6-foot man-eating shark.
The shark has inhabited the waters of
the canal all the summer. It attempted
lock and was disabled BY the propeller
blade of the boat. Jack Sullivan, the
lock tender, killed it with a boat hook.
The presence of the shark forty miles
from the sea is a mystery. It is believed
that it entered the canal either from the
Raritan Bay or the Delaware river. BY
either route it was necessary Tor 1t to
pass through a number of locks before
reaching #Griggstown

CROKER HIS AT DEVERY.
He Writes That Ex-Chief's Victory
Would Hurt TammanY.
(By Associated Pres

10y Associated
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-In a long letter
written to one OF his stanchest support
ers, and a man who transacts good
deal Of his private business. Mr.. Croker
expressed the hope that William S. Dew
cry will be defeated in his candidacy for
the leadership of the Ninth District. This
letter was received last Friday.
a close friend asked Mr.. Croker mere
~ for his personal opinion with the
result of the letter mentioned above. In
this letter Mr.. Croker declares he is out
of politics, and adds that what he says
is merely an opinion of an individual
Democrat, and that he has no sugges
tons to offer-that the leaders must fight
it out the best they know how.
Those who have seen the letter say
that Mr. Croker deprecates the fact that
Mr.. Devery has been allowed to make
the progress ne has without any ap-
parent effort to Offset him.
The entrance of Devery in the. fight
upset the calculations of both the John
c. Sheehan and Frank j. Goodwin fac
tons. No one ever expected it. He has
been spending money like water. It is
said he has already expended $4,000, and
is ready to invest $4,000 more before
primary day. John F. Carroll and Frank
Farrell are said to be behind him.
The friends of Croker point out that
there is no inconsistency in his opinion
OF Devery now with that held by him
prior to the last election. They declare
that he would have caused the removal
of Devery as Chief of Police so soon
he reached this country. and under
stood the situation had he not been told
that Devcrv's removal would disrupt the
party on the eve of election.
