MAUI MAN WRITES

Jas. n. K. Keola, writing from Wal
luku on July IS to A. n. Kepoikai,
Treasurer of the Territory, mentions
requests for his proxy in the Repub-
lican Territorial Committee received
from Honolulu and says he would pre-
fer to offer it to Mr.. Kepoikai instead
of anyone who had been named.
IF you feel that your duties will
not permit you to accept same" Mr..
Keola writes. you can select some
one to represent me in the sessions of
the Central Committee. 1 give you
this latitude freely, for have full
confidence in your ability to select one
in my behalf who will act in harmony
with the well-established principles of
our party, and one also who will work
for the best interests of Maui.

country alone, to say nothing Of the
| professionals, some idea can be form
| ed of the trade in this line.
"a few years ago most Of the magi-
cal apparatus sold in this country
was imported from Germany, the home
| of modern magic. Probably no other
| city in the world has so many amateur
magicians as Hamburg, and no other
| city in the world has so many shops
devoted solely to the manufacture OF
| magical goods
| Next to Hamburg, Nuremburg is
| the most important city as regards the
manufacture of magical apparatus and
| appliances The German workmen
turn out the very finest goods and ma
gicaI apparatus to be worth anything
at all must be of the highest grade.
Notwithstanding the fact that only
| the most skillful workmen could be
employed in this work the prices on
| these German goods were so low that
it did not pay American dealers to
compete so they simply imported the
apparatus from Germany and made
a handsome profit. Magical apparatus
comes high in this country.
after a while. however. the Amer
lean magician became tired of doing
the same old tricks over and over
again. He demanded something new
in the way of illusions and small
tricks, or at least he wanted new
methods of achieving old effects.
1.-The American dealer in magical
goods saw that he must put on his
thinking cap if he would retain his
trade. So he began to improve upon
the old tricks and to make innovations.

ones. and he began to make apparatus.
based upon new principles.
1.-The American magicians appreci-
ated these efforts on the part of the
manufacturers. and they, too, began
to invent new tricks and devise new
apparatus. So in time an entirely new
branch of magic grew up in this coun-
try.
Then came the invasion of Europe |
by the American magicians. They |
carried with them their new tricks and !
mystified the foreign ma
gicians. who were quick to see that |
they were in danger of becoming out
If date. So they began to send to Amer
ca for their illusions and appara-
-us, and slowly, but surely, a foreign
-rade grew up that has now reached
important proportions.
"Our manufacturers supply the ma
yicians of England, France, Germany
md Italy with most of their tricks,
Ind all of the best illusions of late
ears originated in this country. There
ire at least a score of large magical
Houses in America who do nothing
lse but turn out magical goods.
Most Of the firms are located in

COAL PROVIDED FOR
TRANSPORTS IN HONOLULU
Continued from page u

The agreement however obviates the
necessity for one firm to keep on hand
enough coal to supply any demand of
the army, and if one firm has not got
it. some other will fill the demand.
Afterwards the Merchants Association
gave to Captain Williamson an agree
ment by which it undertook TO furnish
coal to transports at stipulated price
either on the wharves or in the stream
The Association also agrees to give a
bond itself, or by any individual mem
Der.
Secretary Helm later sent a cable
gram to Secretary Root and Maj Devol
saying that the Merchants Association
was ready to supply coal to transports
at n reasonable figure. 1t is understood
that the matter of transport service is
now before the department at Wash
ington and it was on this account that
no time was lost in transmitting the in
formation.

The Advertiser is not sure. after
reading the story from Haleakala sum-
NIT, contributed by a Wailuku writer.
that the Promotion Committee could
not spend a little of it's money to adj
vantage in building a shelter there.
Haleakala is an objective point of tour
lists but IT has no accommodations ex-
cept a leaky horse shed. The cabin
which formerly stood there has been
wrecked by the wind. What is needed
is a stone building with an iron roof.
II the Promotion Committee would stir
up the subject perhaps the Maui people
would relieve IL OF any very large
pecuniary responsibility. AS things are
at the summit the committee can hard
~ afford to send tourists there.

strated that high priced Sumatra wrap
per tobacco can be grown successfully
in Hawaii. But he doesn't want every
one to rush headIong into the business.
First, certain preliminaries must be
thorough test of the soil, and after the
crop is harvested careful manipulation
is required to get a good quality of

at the disposal of those willing to start

New York, Nov "A languid and irreg
ular movement in prices characterized the
opening dealings in the stock market. Only
few stocks We're traded in and except
for a decline of a point in Northwestern
none of the changes exceeded u.
Stocks Of local municipal corpora tons
were bid UP sharply Brooklyn Transit
and Metropolitan street railway rising
about a point and American Ice preferred
nearly 3. Wabash preferred and Pressed
Steel Car gained point and the grain
carrying roads and eastern trunk lines I'M
proved good fractions. Detroit United
Railway advanced 2 here. Business was
very dull but offerings were SO slight that
traders bid up stocks.
There were gains of 11a az made by the
American Car stocks, General Electric,
Twin City Rapid Transit and Toledo, St.
Louis & Western preferred and losses or
a point by New Jersey Central and Kan
Sas & Texas. There were slight recess
sions before noon.
Bonds were rather heavy at noon.
~ A rise of a point In Manhattan was the
ing.
Prices generally crept up very slowly
except for Amalgamat ted which reacted to

Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Atchl-
son, Missouri Pacific, Sugar, Cotton OIL

about a point, and Leather preferred and
Locomotive preferred 111a. Denver & Rio

of prices was extremely sluggish. One or
two of the specialties reacted rather alb
ruptly at the last, making the closing ir-
regular and very dull.
