Editor Advertiser: l beg to state
to you that Albert Prudential, the
renowned pianist, who visited also
Honolulu some years ago, intends pay
ing there another visit in February
next, on the occasion of his through
trip from America to Australia. The
artist, who only shortly returned from
a triumphant trip through Southern
Europe, will leave within days for
the U. S. A., and will make new tour
around the world, on which he will
visit besides America and Australia,
Japan, China, India, East and South
Africa.
Begging you kindly to inform your
readers (the concerts which the cell
ebrated musician will give in your
place will certainly be well adver-
tised), | am, dear sir, yours very re-
specially, JULIUS FRANK,

subject of the following letter from
Wilder's Steamship Co., explained that
the proposition TO stop payment of the
Molokai steamer subsidy was part of a
scheme of economy discussed with
Governor Carter.
Honolulu, T. H, Dec 16, 1903
DIR. Charles B. Cooper, President of
the Board of Health, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: In reply to your favor of
December 10 in which you ask if the
subsidy now paid for weekly passenger
service to various ports on the Island
of Molokai, Lanai and Maui could not
be dispensed with. through the fact
that retrenchment is necessary in the
expenditures of the Board of Health.
I'VE would say that this subsidy is
paid to insure communication between
Honolulu and ports which would other
wise be absolutely cut off from the rest
of the world. The business offered by
the windward ports on the Island of
Molokai and the Island of Lanai is so
small that the gross returns would noz
pay for the coal alone consumed in the
service between them, and the neces-
sity for this service is evidenced by
regular appropriation for this pur-
pose for a long term of years.
In submitting tenders for service to
the Leper Settlement we based our
rates on the fact that this subsidy
would be paid, and in submitting ten
ders for mail contracts this matter
also was taken into consideration.
Further, while this subsidy does not
apply directly in all cases to the trans
portation of leper suspects to Homo
lulu, we have given this matter consid-
cradle weight when making charge Of
the latter service.
1--WE would also state that we have
ordered a new steamer to run on the
route covered by this subsidy, presum-
ing that after the Legislature had
made provision for this service there
would be no doubt as to the availab ility
of the funds.
For the foregoing reasons, and hav-
ing acted in good faith presuming that
this subsidy would be continued, we
have taken steps to provide a first
class service under its terms, and
should the same be discontinued we
should suffer a very heavy financial
loss. We accordingly request that the
same be not withdrawn.
Very truly yours,
'WILDER'S STEAMSHIP CO.,
sc. L. Wight, President
DR.. Cooper thought the matter was
one that chiefly concerned the Treas
ury Department.
Mr.. Smith did not think the service
was the Boards business at all.
1t was voted to lay the letter on the
table.

Why do substitutes for

Because they're worth less.
