CHE IA PLAYERS
COME TO GRIEF

Two Chinese che ia players came to
grief in the police court yesterday
morning, being fined $25 each. The
method of prosecution as outlined in
yesterdays Advertiser was followed
by Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth.
The cases were heard during the
morning and afternoon sessions of the
court. The lottery was shown not
to have come to the stage where the
winning name was given out at the
rendezvous appointed. William Craw-
ford, who was put on the stand by the
defense, admitted that he was a che
ia expert, and the case of the defense
almost fell through at that point.
Mr.. Cathcart asked that the defend
ants be adjudged not guilty on the
ground that there was no evidence of
che ia having been played, whereupon
Mr.. Chillingworth sprung a surprise
in a threat to arrest the men for gross
cheat for having taken money from
purchasers of tickets, and having moth
ing whatever to indicate that the pur-
chasers would be, remunerated in any
way.
1t was brought out by the prosecu-
ton that marked money had been
given the che ia ticket sellers, and this
was found on the defendants when
arrested. Six other Chinese, arrested
at the rendezvous where the winning
name was to have been given out, were
discharged.
The police department is waging an
active warfare against che ia, and they
have information to the effect that a
determined effort will be made to es-
tabliSh the banks

OBJECTS TO SMALL

Honolulu, H. T., Dec. 2. 1903.


Editor Advertiser: Will you permit
me to take a small amount of space in

market this morning four varieties of
our most valuable of food fishes for
sale Of such a size that it is a shame

are so small that if it continues it will
only be a short time when we will not
be able to get fish at all in Island mar

lows: ulua, weke, Ola, moi; as every
one knows that has given this matter
any attention the above named fish
should never be sold in size under
twelve to fourteen inches so that they
have good chance to spawn, and that
one of our most paying industries shall
not be. altogether lost.

PENDING HILO QUESTION.
Governor Carter came in and asked
that an answer be sent to a letter from
Mr. Ohveria regarding the opening of
a proposed homestead settlement in the
Honomu forest land above the planta-
tons in the Hilo district.
President Thurston stated that there
were other cases awaiting action and
the question ought not to be dealt with
sporadlcally. 1t was one between op-
ening certain lands for homesteads and
reserving them for forests The cues
ton could not be decided until the head
forester had time TO look over the whole
situation.

EMBROIDERY.

Bonds of Oriental or Russian en-
broidery brighten up many of the new
gowns, and always give an air of dis
tinction to the dress. Navy blue serge
looks quite uncommon when it is
trimmed with Russian embroidery, and
zibeline takes ON a new charm when
relieved with bands of Eastern work.
Black velvet dresses are being much
worn, especially by fair women, and 1
have also noticed some pretty dresses
in gray velvet.
A charming gown which formed part
of the rousseau of a recent bride was
made in silver-gray velveta lined with
palest blue silk. The seams were laced
across with silver cord, and a beautiful
collar was worn, made of white gui-
pure laid over pale blue and threaded
with silver and embroidered with tur-
quoise.
Turquoise combs were worn in the
hair, and other ornaments of the same
pretty stones were added to the bodice.
All fashionable women are wearing
what they call "bits of blue"-turquoise
chains, or necklaces of turquoise ma
trix. This latter is always such a fas-
cinating object, with it's strange streaks
Of brown and green.
Strings of pearls are more popular
than ever, and jeweled c%hatelaines,
gold or silver purses, and large dia-
mond rings, frequently covering the
fingers up to the knuckles, are much
worn. The abundance of necklaces,
which used to be so much liked, has
now become a thing of the past; at
present the pendant is the important
point, ana it is better to let it hang
from a slender chain.-New York
News.

o N HALE COATS.

Pert, crisp and jaunty are the dainty
half coats of linen, pique, lace and silk
that are attracting the eye and purse of
maid and matron alike.
The jackets are loose and come to
half way between waist and knee.
Most of them are double breasted, fast
ened with big buttons of pearl, porce-
lain or cut steel. The chief ornaments
of tho jackets, aside from the attract
iyeness of cut and material, are the
wide circular collars that fall grace
fully beyond the shoulder seams on the
sleeves. In many the hell sleeve, wide
flowing at the band, is to be seen.
One exquisite jacket of coffee-colored
renaissance lace over taffeta Of a shade
darker is quite loose, fastened single
breasted in a scalloped edge. with por-
celain buttons painted with arbutus
buds. A large circular collar of lace,
fastened at the throat with a wide
sash of coffee-colored satin ribbon,
rested coquettishly on the rest of the
dainty garment.
Crash and pique have come in for a
comparatively new use in the short
box coat. Crash jackets are made Sc
verely plain, with many rows of stitch
ing and big smoked pearl buttons as
their main ornament.-Pittsburg Dis

THE INDIA SHAWL.

Though India shawls possess great
value they are seldom bought or sold
~nawadays. There's n good reason for
this. They are hardly worn at all. De-
spite many stories of the attractive
wraps into which they may be con-
verted there's II pair of eyes that
have been open all winter and have not
rested on a single one. This shows
that not everybody has taken to the
wholesale slaughtering of these rare
and beautiful shawls. 1t is silly to cut
n up for a wrap which will be passe
in a few seasons.
Another thing: Many of them are
priced quite as much for their associa-
tions, having been handed down. gem
Grafton after generation, as for their
great money value. If your great
g%randpapa brought your g~reat-grand-
mamma one from India. and It has at
length come down to you, you appre-
ciate just how this is.
English brides in high life received
this proverbial gift from the late Queen
Victoria. And every woman of means
on either side Of the Atlantic has, in
the absence of thoughtful ancestors or
rich and liberal friends, quietly pro-
vided herself with one of these treas
ures.
An India shawl is like some other
things in this life-you haven't any
earthly use for it, yet you feel robbed
II you haven't got 1t.

question, ave with iconoclastic souls,

TREATMENT OF WINDOWS.

To insure having n~ice-looking win
dows clean them on a dull day OF when
the sun is shining on another part of
the house, otherwise they will be
streaked, and no amount of rubbing
will remove the streaks. Dust the win
dow first both inside and out; for this
purpose l always use a painters brush.
Next clean all inside woodwork before
commencing IN the panes. Then add
a little ammonia to some warm water
and wash the glass with it. Get the
dust out of the corners with a piece of
dress whalebone wrapped in a corner
of a cloth. Wipe the windows dry
with a cotton cloth, and then polish
with old newspaper or tissue paper.
If steam collects ON the window rub
it over with a very little parafin after it
is quite clean.-Pearson's Weekly.

IN AN EARTHQUAKE.

l shall long remember my first expe-
rience with an earthquake. Early In
October of 1900, l was at Homer Spit,
that lies between Shugachik and
Kachemak Bays. / was very anxious
to get some men to go with me into the
mountains, and, hearing there were
four living in a cabin at Anchor Point,
twenty-five miles north of Homer Spit,
whose services l might secure, 1 start
ed out afoot to find the place. 1 did
not leave Homer until 1 r. M, and
night then came rery early in these
ATTITUDES. / felt sure, however, that
l should reach the place before 1t be-
came very dark, and 1 might have done
so, but the only route was along the
beach. and in many places it was ex-
tremely rocky, afording very uncer-
tain footing; then, at short intervals,
small streams poured over the high
sea-walls. and spread over the sands
of the beach. where / was compelled
to wade them, and my footwear was
soon full of water. / had not gone far
when a cold rain commenced to pour
down upon me in torrents, and I was
o thoroughly soaked, and my cloth
ing, much increased in weight, chung
to me, and greatly retarded my pro-
gress. After many trying adventures,
| arrived at the cabin late at night, so
tired that l lost no time in stretching
myself in a pair of blankets, on the
floor, and was soon asleep. 1 had
slept several hours, when I was awak-
ened by a very peculiar and unusual
sensation. The cabin was rocking and
creaking and performing all sorts of
strange evolutions, and everything
loose ON the floor and walls was play
ing hide-and-seek, In and out of its
dark My first impression was
that our hillside was sliding into
