Marketing with a Barrel.

Boarding house keepers, with old
fashioned ideas, N..o used to run hOus-
cs down town until the uptown fever
got hold of them. insist that they can
buy more cheaply at the biz public
markets down town than they can any
where else. The chief obstacle with
most of them is that the public mar
ketmen will not deliver goods, and
that no woman can possibly get along
in either an elevated or a surface car
if she has a lot of bundles. One board.
ing housekeeper in West Ninetieth
street has one way of doing it. She
goes to Washington market with moth
ing put her purse to carry and buys
two empty barrels in the market, for
which she pays 10 cents each. Th"
butcher she patronizes usually has
them ready for her. She goes very
early and makes the round of the
stalls, carrying her purchases as She
makes them to her barrels at the
butchers. His boy slows the pack
ages away safely and ties a neWspa-
per over the tops of the barrels BY
10 O'Clock her purchases are made and
she pays an eXpressman % cents

Roosts With the Chickens.

Farmer Johnson of Red Rock is the
owner of cat, which, from kitten
hood, almost, has shown a great fond
ness for the society of chickens From
the time Tom was halfgrown it has
been no unusual sight to see him at
night on the rCost with the chickens.
He follows them all day. He betrays
no attachment for any one fowl, but
associates impartially with all. The
chicks have become accustomed to
him, and he is evidently regarded as
a protector. Tom retains sufficient cat
nature to lie curled up snug and
warm
Tom frequently can be seen side
by side with a setting hen on her
nest, wherein he is content to remain
for hours.-New York World.

incident Caused CoIored Brothers
Temporary Fall from Grace.
At the recent anniversary dinner
of the Glover Club of Philadelphia Dr.
Edward Bedloe said:
"One winter night attended
revival service that some colored
friends of mine were holding in a
little church on South street. The
church was crowded. The eXhorting
and the singing was spirited. But all
of a sudden the stovepipe fell, and.
being hot. it began to burn hole IN
the carpet. Brother Smith hastened
to the pipe but hesitated about pick
ing it up. The preacher from the
platform egged him on. 'Brudder
Smith, what yo' fraid Off he exclam-
ed. Pick up dat pipe, Brudder Smith.
Doan' be afraid. De Lord won't let
1t burn yo'.'
Th timid brother accordingly took
heart. He believed the preacher and
lifted the pipe with his bare hands.

CANNOT SHIP
ARMS TO CHINA

Collector Stackable yesterday re-
ceived a letter from the Navy Treas
ury Department advising him to keep
a sharp lookout and report all fire
arms being shipped from here to Chi
ma.
Some time ago, it is said, the Chi
nese attempted to purchase a large
quantity of arms here but did not sue
coed.
The following is the communication
from the Treasury Department:
Sir: The Secretary of State has for
warded to this department copies of
correspondence with the Russian EN-
bassy in regard to the importation Of
arms into China, and has requested
that its authorities be instructed to
exercise renewed vigilance in this res
pect.
The matter was mentioned in the de-
partment's instructions to you, dated
April 2, 1902, requiring you to report
to the department the expectation of
arms and warlike material to China,
in certain cases. You will please take
action in the matter as suggested by
the Secretary of State. Respectfully,
r. b. ARMSTRONG,
Assistant Secretary.

L. s. Government and the temptation
to take possession would be irresista-
BILE TO any nation having designs on
the coast of the mainland. 1t would
be a great disgrace TO Uncle Sam to
have such a thing happen and would
cause him a serious lioss of prestige,
while to us it would mean humiliation
or at the very least ruination of bust
ness industry for a long period.
Admiral Terry has always been an
enthusiast for a first class Naval Sta
ton here and should he be again sent
down to look after the improvements
it would be a very good thing for us
as he understands the conditions and
has a good grasp of the whole situa-
ton. but there is no reason why we
should wait for him or for any one
while there is so much we can do.

PROSPERITY AND PROTECTION.
[The oficial and Commercial Record.l

4 IL
There is nothing at the present time
that should appeal more strongly to
the Honolulu business instinct than
the Improvement of Pearl Harbor.
That there are many things can be
| done from here to forward the matter
is unquestioned and that there are
many reasons why we should use every
effort to that end, is equally true.
No opportunity should be allowed to
pass where we can in any way streng-
then the hands of the War and Navy
Departments, without our taking ad-
vantage Of such opportunity.
Action by the Commercial bodies, the
Chamber of Commerce and the Mer-
chants Association working through
like bodies in the Pacific coast cities
would be a good starter; joint resolu-
ton of the legislature now in session,
forwarded to the Powers that be" in
Washington would be of value, while
every resident of the islands should
keep the matter in mind and dwell up
on it in correspondence or in CONVEX
sation with the friends living on the
mainland.
The benefit to US of an expenditure
here of five, ten OF fifteen millions of
dollars. a goodly proportion of which
must be for labor and put into circu-
lation quickly, cannot be estimated and
the fact that at least 90 per cent of
this money finds it way back to the
coast should be in our favor with the
business concerns there.
Again, every dollar spent on fortifi-
cations here would be worth to the
United States as much as ten dollars
spent on terrifying the coast, for a
fertilization there is good only for the
particular point where it is located,
while were we in a position that hos
tile ships were unable to stop here for
coal and supplies, they would reach
the coast in so helpless a condition that
aggressive action would be out of the
question for them Properly terrifying
Oahu would therefore mean protection
to the coast line from British Column
bia to Mexico.
The war clouds in the east makes
this the time to agitate, as it is by no
means beyond the range of possibilities
that we may be drawn into the trouble
should hostilities actually begin, and
with our cable facilities this would he

where ships could be operated in either
direction with a saving of many DAYS

THE LOOT OF THE
NIGHT BLOOMS

June 10, 1903.
Editor Advertiser: The writer of the
article which appeared in your valu-
| able paper yesterday morning, criti-
cising a previous article which had
appeared in your columns, in refer
ence TO the wanton destruction of the
night blooming cereus, must be in ig-
norance of the real manner in which
| these flowers are destroyed each year.
or at least which came under my per-
sonal observation last year.
! 1 do not think that the Trustees OF
! Oahu College or any one would object
to people carrying away flowers oil
boauets to their homes or friends. Be
| ing somewhat of a Kodak fiend and
| wishing to send stereoscopic pictures
of this particular variety of cactus
flower to friends on the main land, I
watched the development of these
flowers last year patiently until they
would arrive at their richest bloom.
On going up very early one morning,
the day before 1 had expected to take
picture, 1 noticed that nearly all Of
the buds were in bloom, and that the
following night they would probably
nearly all be developed. Going there
the next night to verify my conclu-
sion, between 10 and IL o'clock, I found
natives and Cinnamon with carts load
ed with barrels, and they were cutting
and slashing the flowers with great
energy, examining them into the bar
rels and stamping them down, in order
to make them hold as much as posi-
BILE.
When I offered a protest, they told
me that they were taking them for
drug stores to be sent away to the
States. Unless the drug stores or other
parties have a contract with the Trus-
tees of Oahu College to collect these
flowers, what I saw last year and what
will probably occur this year, is GER
tainly a deplorable piece of vandalism,
and there should be policemen sta
toned every ten feet, if necessary, to
prevent any such wholesale desecra-
ton of this now world renowned, beau
tiful moonlight spectacle, which takes
place every year, and should be ON ex-
at least three weeks, even
then giving every man, woman and |
child in Ho1olulu a chance to have one
or more flowers.
AS a fact last year, and I presume
will be the same this year, the flowers
were only on full exhibition a portion
of one night and the day after the !
whole hedge looked like it had been ,
struck by a Kansas cyclone
