OPENING TODAY

There will be opened today novel
institution, so far as Honolulu refresh
ment places go, in the Favorite Concert
Hall, adjoining the corner of Bethel
and Hotel streets. William Cunning
corner. has added garden-like addi-
ton, covering more than 10000 square
feet. which has been fitted up with
every sort of palm and fern and flower,
where the climbing green's are trans
forming the bare interior into one vast
arbor, and where small tables dot the
floor. There are all kinds of reading
material, and the temptation on looking
over the place is to stop and enjoy the
cool garden.
The intention is to conduct resort
on the same lines as the Louvre in San
Francisco. All kinds of refreshments
will be on hand. There will be sand
witches, cold meats, salads, and the
concomitants of a refreshing luncheon,
which there may be partaken with all
sorts of liquid refreshments, supplied
from the full and complete stock which
will be constantly on hand. This will
fill a want long felt in Honolulu.
Where the airs WOO to open living, it
has been constant query, why not
place where a luncheon with its glass
of beer or wine may be enjoyed in the
open. This will be one of the princi-
pal attractions of the Favorite
Another feature will be the entertain
ment which will be provided during not
less than half the time. There is a
piano in the room, and a
quintet club will be in attendance at
least on Monday, Wednesday and Sat
urday evenings. This will mean that
the man who is detained at his office
late may be refreshed with his lunch
con. and may be entertained the while
with songs and music.
The Favorite Will be maintained at
the highest order of responsibility and
cleanliness. There will be no disorder,
no. drunkenness, no loud talking, or
conduct which would disturb the most
fastidious visitor. Entrance is either !
from the street, or a carriage may |
'eadily drive TO a side door. There, are
/ couple of private apartments for
small parties and everything will be
of the highest character.

TIME AND MONEY. = Sickness
causes a loss of both time and money.
You lose the time and have the ex-
pense of medical attendance, entailing
double loss. This can be avoided by
using some reliable remedy at the first
stage of the sickness. The purchase Of
a bottle OF Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy often proves a
profitable investment, for, by it's use at
the first appearance of any unusual
looseness of the bowels, a severe at
tack of diarrhoea or dysentery may be
averted that might otherwise compel
weeks cessation from LABOR. Every
household should have bottle at hand.
It never fails and is pleasant TO take.

"I remembe a year or two ago when the Valencia was going to Nome," said Purser R. F. Kinsman of the Seattle. "We made up our minds to keep stow aways off that boat at all odds. So we "breasted" her out from the dock about twelve feet, and only put one

 Asan indication of the age of salmon we note that the Chinook variety re- turn to Willapa harbor, down in the state of Washington, at very early age. The Tacoma Ledger says that in 1899 5000 of the fry matched from the '9S spawn were marked with slit in the tail before heinz turned out of the hatchery. In 1901, three years after they were matched, 400 of them were caught returning into the river. Last year great many more were caught, and now, the fifth season, they are showing up in large quantities.
 A labor of love is that labor which prompts the organization of societies for the collection and perpetuation of the legendary life of country. The presence in a country of people to carry on such work furnishes evidence of culture. The "Alaskan Society of Sitka" has been organized, the purposes of which are to collect and preserve in- formation in regard to the arts, history, religion and folklore of the native population of Alaska, and also in regard to the structure, climate, mineral resources, fisheries, geography, ornitbology, flora and fauna of the country. The labor of such an organi- zation as this has all the essence of wine. Gradually but with fatal cer- tainty, the primal forms of American life are being ground out of existence under that ever-ready heel which has recently made such gigantic strides across the earth. Mir. Owen sWister, after having written his "Virginians," was under the necessity of revising his MS, to the extent of placing all verbs in the past tense. Even so fast as this is primeval America slipping away from us. More cogent, than ever, are the reasons why we should lend our support to such organizations as the Alaskan Society of Sitka."-Se- attle Mail and Herald.
