Miss McLemore Suggested Best Name
 for Dowe's New Creation.

ASS OO~C 4NSW SESdL1Ous
 Last night at 10 o'clock, when the Candy Name Suggestion Contest was de- cided. it was found the 9S3 names had been offered for Dowes new Caramel and Marshmallow Candy. Out of this im- mense number of names, PANAMA PLUMS" was chosen as being the best offered. It was suggested by Miss Ophe- lia McLemore of S35 Sayre Street, and to her was awarded the magnificent five pound box of Dowe's Best Bon Bons.
 This contest was eminently successful from all standpoints, not least among the views as taken by Mir. Dove is the .in- terest taken in the matter by the public, as evidenced by the large number of names offered. Furthermore, something like l5O pounds of Panama Plums were sold from Saturday till last night, a most remarkable run for a town the size or Montgomery for one kind of candy, and that new kind. All of which proves conclusiyely that Panama Plums has come to stay and that 1t will con tinue the most popular candy of the year.
 Have you tried Panama Plums? If you haven't. get some today. You'n like 1t sure Forty cents pound is the price.
 They are at Dowes.

Day after day passed. during which
Ethel became quite accustomed to her
routine of work, and quietly persevered
In her duties. Nothing difficult to accom-
plish was required at her hands: nothing
beyond spending couple of hours each
morning In her own room writing letters,
OF which an abstract was taken from Sir
Reginald's own lips; then an hour or two
reading the daily papers for his amuse-
ment. Very often would he find a chance
to whisper the question:
DO you perform your evening tasks
regularly ana we'll? Does all 20 on a.

CHAPTER X.

As an elegant clock. with old cathedral
chimes, struck the hour Of ten, Ethel,
with a pale face and trembling hand,
lighted candle. possessed herself of the
strange looking knife, then opening the
wardrobe, and drawing back the bolt,
stepped into the passage and from thence
through the small door In the opposite
wall.
She found herself in a long, straight,
dark corridor, that led directly to what
Sir Reginald assured her was the Haunt
ed Tower At the end where she stood,
however, on the left hand side. was a
door. fastened with an old-fashioned
iron hook. This led to the ruin, and
with beating heart she opened 1t.
Close by the door she found a small
covered basket that she knew must con.
tain what she sought. Grasping 1t quick
ly, she again fastened the door. as Sir
Reginald had instructed her to do, and
passed down the corridor.
There she found the entrance TO the
tower, and resolving to take some bright
sunshiny day to visit this spot, she turn.
ed, as she had been directed, to count out
the number Of panels ON the left hand
wall, and Immediately discovered the
faint crack, that she knew must be what
she sought. Inserting the point Of the
knife, she turned three times, when the
oansls parted and there lay the shelves.

HOUSE..
Thirty-fifth Day.
Afternoon Session.

At the afternoon session Of the House
yesterday the vote Of the forenoon on
the Senate County Bill, which was
thereby passed In second reading, was
reconsidered and the biz referred to
the special committee of nine which
considered the county measure of the
House.
Senate Bill 5, relating to bailiffs, was
considered In connection with the re-
port and passed In third reading. There
was very long discussion on the mer-
Its of the bill and II was thought from
the effort made that the vote would
certainly be very close one However,
when the ayes and noes were called
and the vote was found to stand n to
8 in favor Of the passage OF the bill, II
was seen that some of the eloquence
had been wasted.
After the consideration OF this bill,
Mr.. Aylett moved to adjourn, stating
that 1t was the intention OF the special
committee OF nine to get to work right
away on the County Bill as 1t had come
down from the Senate.
Mr.. Vida said he had report which
he would like to present as his five-day
limit was up. With the understanding
that nothing more would be presented
for the consideration OF the Hous,
after this report, Mr.. Aylett consented
to withdraw his motion. Mr.. Vida
then read the following report:

Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, March
30, 1903
Hon. Fred w. Beckley, Speaker, House
of Representatives, Honolulu, r. II.
Sir:-Your Committee on Public Ex-
penditures respectfully reports on
House Resolution PA referred to II on
work done by the Road Bureau on
residence of Henry e. Cooper, as fol-
, lows:
The accountant of this Committee,
Mr.. w. X. Sims, has examined the
Road Bureau records and questioned
the Governmental employees connect
ed vita the work, and has determined
that the services rendered have been
insuflciently paid for, although he is
unable to state definitely as to the
amount, as no complete record of the
work has been kept. His report to the
committee is submitted, as part
hereof.
| The accountant also finds that the
Road Bureau served II. a. lsenberg
during the current month and that for
1 this work the Government was not
properly paid. His report on this mat
/ ter is also submitted herewith.
Your committee deprecates and
strongly condemns the practice of do
ing work of this nature by the Gov
eminent for private parties and par
ticularly for Governmental onicialh,
as the Government has more than
enough work of this class to perform.
We are Of the opinion that the prac-
tice should he stopped forthwith and
so recommend.
Respectfully submitted,

After interrogation OF employees OF

the Government has been inadequately
