Taking into consideration the whole
Of Western Europe. it, would seem that
women work more and. perhaps at
harder toll than iu the United States.
The conditions surrounding many
women workers in our great American
cities are SO entirely bad that nothing
in Europe could be well STYLED worse;
but the proportion OF women who are
working, especially the proportion en-
gagged I'm occupations requiring great
muscular effort, seems TO be FAR larger

not many years since women were taken
out OF the mines in Europe, and as late
as two years ago women were still en-

PROPOSED PARK
ATTRACTION

Editor Advertiser: Now that the
Governor has called the collection of
Banderlogs again to Honolulu, it oc-
CURED to me that they might be turned
to some account as an added attraction
to tourists at the park along with the
aquarium and the proposed aviary.
Hitherto it has seemed advisable to
keep them housed in the Executive
building but that has been rather ex-
pensive and they were more or less
shut away from view, so much so that
it has taken a Grand Jury or two to
bring things to light. 1t struck me
that an enclosure could be made that
need not be very expensive and which
might include some of the larger al
garobas in which they might perform
their antics in full view, or it might
be so arranged that a small admission
might be charged in which case they
would prove a source of revenue to the
Territory and make it less necessary to
cut the salaries of the school teachers
and others who are not overburdened
with wealth, besides saving the thirty
or forty thousand dollars for their
keep.
l offer this simply as a suggestion.
Sincerely,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-03-24
RARE TREAT

the diva, staunch Catholic. being
thereby prevented from singing.
The concert will be of general in
terest comprising ballads and we'll
known arias from operate works, be-
ing given also a touch of local color
by selections that will be rendered by
a native quartet consisting of Willie
and Johnny Ellis, Ben Jones and an
other we'll known Hawaiian singer.
Jones will sing solo and Johnny Ellis
besides the quartet will take the duo
from II Trovatore with Madame Sla-
poffski.
Mrs. Barton will act as accompanist
and in accordance with long reiterated
requests Will give a solo number. A
we'll known local contralto will also
assist in the quartet numbers chosen.
The prima donna has Thomas, Verdi,
Wagner. Toste and Mattee as the au-
InOrS whose Work she VIII interpret,
these selections including ballads as
we'll as operate numbers. Her ap-
pearance is being very eagerly looked
forward to by the entire local musical
set of the city who are awaiting the
feast of melody that is assured to them
by the renditions of such singer and
her assistants.
While Madame Slapoffski is compar-
atively unknown in America, in fact
entirely SO. aside from newspaper
fame, her success in Australia has
been phenomenal ard a short appear
apce in Europe brought forth loud
praises from the critics who prophesied
the birth of a new star of the musical
armament.
There is little doubt but that she will
speedily be heard from in the first
ranks of popular American idols. The
sweetness and magnetism of her voice
with its rare power and magnificent
range can never be hidden for long be-
fore appreciative American audiences

(From the Sydney. N. S. W.. Herald.)
It is worth considerable to any citi-

many influences and unforeseen contin-
gencies that the wisest are totally I'M

that Doan's Ointment will cure any
case of hemorrhoids. commonly known
as piles, or any disease OF the cuticle
or skin, generally termed eczema. One
application convinces-a continuation

From Giving

Will Jones Be Sent to

for His Life?
Bigger Bond Required--TeIephonc
Books Demanded-Opium
Case Dropped.

All day long yesterday, excepting for
a few minutes taken in routine term
work. Judge Robinson listened to argu-
ment on the prosecutions motion for
change of venue, with the objections
of the defense, in the case of Edward
Mitchell Jones, indicted for murder in
the first degree. E. c. Peters repre-
sented the Territory, and a. G. NJ. Rob-
ertson and ]. ]. Dunno the defendant.
The grounds of motion and objections
were published in yesterdays Adver-
tiser.
CONTRACT ENJOINED.
Judge De Bolt rendered his decision
yesterday in the Lahainaluna buildings
contract case. granting a permanent in
junction against the awarding of the
contract by C. S. Holloway, Superin-
tendent of Public Works, to Thomas
r. Lucas Charles Lucas and John Lu-
cas-, doing business under the firm
name of Lucas Brothers, for the sum oe
$35, SIG.
Herbert Kendall was plaintiff in the
case, praying for the injunction on the
ground that he had received no notice
of a change in the specifications be-
fore bidding for the contract, such
change being the elimination of an item
providing for the cost of a Government
inspector of the work at 81 a day. He
claimed that, with this item left out of
his bid, the price he asked would have
been lower than that of Lucas Bros.
Notice of the change had been given to
the latter firm and all others whom the
Superintendent knew as intending bid
ders, but the complainant received no
notice and put in a tender for $36, 235.
But this matter of personal notice,
or failure thereof, or that there was no
fraud or favoritism shown, are, in my
opinion, totally immaterial to a deci-
sion of this cause" Judge De Bolt
writes. Neither do 1 deem it of any
Importance to determine who was the
lowest bidder"
ONLY ONE QUESTION.
The sole question which he deems to
be decisive of the case is whether the
contract could be legally entered into,
there having been no public advertise
ment of the change in specifications
that made the contract a different one
from that proposed in the public notice
inviting tenders for the work. He
quotes from Sec. 10 of Act IS, Laws of
1903, requiring that every contract for
constructing public works or furnishing
material therefor, amounting to- five
hundred dollars (s500) or more, shall be
awarded to the lowest bidder who shall
furnish sufficient bond only upon pub
lie advertisement for tenders, on which
he comments:
THE object of such statutory provi-
sions is, it has been said, to prevent
favoritism, corruption, extravaganza
and improvidence' in the awarding of
contracts for public works or material
A fair competition among the bidders
is the prime object of such provisions,
and anything which tends to impair
this is Illegal. GO Ency. Law, I'd Ed,
1860 The statute is mandatory and
it has not been complied with in this
case. The conclusion is clear.
BAD PRINCIPLE DESIGNATED.

Works, after such public advertisement
for tenders is at liberty to make one

NURSING MOTHERS

"A richer milk than milk"
is good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. IL
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
SCOTS Emulsion. The same
remedy brings new strength
and nourishment to both.

INJURED WHILE coAsTrNc.
Little Jessie Miller Knocked IN
CONSCIOUS ON East Burke Street.

Little Jessie Miller knocked IN
conscious on East Burke Street.
Little Jesse Miller, the 6-year-old
son Of Mr.. Robert B Miller, of East
Burke street, was seriously injur-
ed Tuesday evening while coastiug
on the steep hill on East Burke street.
The lad sswas coming down the incline
at terrific speed and ran into q horse
going in the opposite direction. The
two came together with such force that
the Lad was rendered unconscious for
an hour. DIR. Andrews resuscitated
the little fellow. who was badly
bruised from his unpleasant ex-
perience.
TheYplace where the boy was hurt is
one Of the most dangerous spots in
the city after a fall Of snow, and
coasting should be prohibited there.
The incline is very sharp, and the
small lads, and some large enough TO
know better, take advantage OF this
to slide down on their sleds, making
the hill a source of danger to pedes-
TRANS and themselves.
