ASPHALT
FOR STREETS
Business Man Fsvors
Them Down
Town.

H. F. Wichman, the Fort street bust
ness man, is an advocate of asphalt
paved streets in the business section.
He also believes in lettering the ap-
pearance of the waterfront, and the
approaches generally.
9sClean streets are business man 8
stock in trade, so to speak, said ME-.
Wiehman yesterday. With clean
streets there is less dust in the stores
and the goods do not suffer so much
from dirt. Asphalt streets, although
they might raise the temperature slight
", would be an economy IN street
building, and give us, at all times, very
clean thoroughfares.
"For more than a year the merchants
have maintained at their own expense
an old Portuguese whose duty is to
keep Fort street, between Hotel and
King streets, clean and sprinkled. You
have no idea what an Improvement has
resulted There is not nearly so much
dust floating into the stores as before.
The Portuguese with his broom and
shovel keeps the thoroughfare tolerably
clean and when the street is inclined
to be dusty he uses a sprinkling can.
It has been worth while to the mer-
chants to pay small sums weekly for
the maintenance of this one man.
81 would like to see the approaches
at the harbor improved. There may
not be an opportunity here as at Kobe
and other Japanese sea ports to have a
bund, but the planting of trees along
the streets leading to the wharves
where travellers land would be a help.
Take the case of the Naval Station for
instance. That is great Improvement
and it makes pleasing picture of green
to tourists coming In on steamers up
the channel to the wharves.'

LOCAL CHARITY

Will the friends of the Salvation

Der us at this Christmas time? Dona-
tons of cash or provisions or anything
useful will be thankfully received. We
are twenty-four in number at the house
at present. This includes the children,
so some toys also would be acceptable
Please remember we have no funds to
draw on, only what our kind friends of
Honolulu supply us with from time to
time. We have only few regular sub
scriptions, and we trust there are other
friends also who will remember us t&ds
Christmas time. We thank the kind
friends who have so nobly stood by us
through the past year.

PRISON YARD HAS
NEW KADANI TREE

Mr.. Gerrit P. Wilder accompanied by
High Sheriff Henry, paid a visit to Ca
hu Prison on Thursday and planted a
fine specimen of the kamani tree in the
new prison yard. The old yard already
has a magnificent tree of this kind
growing in the center, the limbs
spreading over an immense area. These
branches shelter the prisoners in the
yard during the day from the sun and
make the yard pleasant place to ex-
ercise in. Mr.. Wilder has taken great
care in raising the tree from a seed.

Wiring Did Not oome.

The wiring equipment for. the new

therefore be ready for service until
January. One car only could be sent
out of the shops. Five others have
the roofs on and wait only the wiring.
If the Alaskan arrived in San Fran

rive here on the Siberia.

1.-THE OLD PLANTATION"

Translation from the Hawaiian song
composed by Mrs. A A. Montana
dedicated to the home and cocoanut
groves of Mrs. Victoria Ward, as sung
by the Ellis Bros. GIee Club.
Often I love to think
OF corner sweet and dear,
OF water cold as crystal
Drawn softly by the old wind-nilI;
It's there love TO ponder
Where my heart yearns ever to he.
Chorus:
Old Plantation, beautiful art thou,
Homewarned by love.
Dwelling meath the shades of the CO.
coanuts;
In the heart of fragrance.
Gently permeates the fragrance of
flowers
Sent forth by the falling dew;
Happily the birds with their love-
notes
Make love to the plumes of the cq-
coanut trees;
Tenderly droop the silvery-leaved ferns
on the terrace,
In the shades of the Old Plantation.

A Visit to Bamberg.

Ivisited the town of Bamberg on Sun
day last and lave concluded, from gener-
al appearance on the Lords day, that its
morals are somewhat above the average
for a county seat of its size. attended
the Baptist Sunday school and church,
visited DR.. J. B. Black at his home and
saw a lot of comfortable looking arrange
ments all through the place.
In the Sunday school I met quite num-
ber of true workers in the cause which
they profess; there seemed to be no big
"I's" and little GUS" in or about the
church. Rev. NJ. L. Lawson still holds the
fort, and while he has not increased in
statue, he is little under size. He seems
to be a noble spirit, and is beloved by his
flock. His subject was from the 18th and
10Th chapters of Hebrews, and could have
only been considered lengthy by sleepy
headed hearers. He finds no trouble in
measuring off his discourse. No tangle of
tongue or mixing up his subject. The main
IMPRESSION made on my mind was that l
couldn't help it if very poor excuse for
not living as we should is made.

A Romantic Elopement.

William Jones, a foreman in large
manufacturing plant in Augusta, and 8
young lady of the same city whose name
is withheld on account of the prominencei
of her parents, were arrested at Fort MIL
last week, where they were living as hus-s
band and wife. Jones has wife and.
three children living in Augusta, to whom
he has always been most tenderly devoted:
The young lady is only seventeen, is
pretty and cultured, and is the daughter
of a well-to.do citizen.
The man and girl fell in love with each
other at firstt sigh and an elopement was
agreed upon. Before leaving home the,
unfaithful husband kissed his wife and
children, and promised that he would be-
back in few hours. When the elope-S
ment became known the father was fu-
riously mad and started a detective on
their trail with the above result.
When arrested, Jones expressed will
lingness to 60 back to his wife and chill
dren and give up the girl. But the girl
broke down and cried when told that she
must 60 back.
II will 60 back to Augusta, but will
live with Will all my life,'' she exclaimed
between her sobs.

Two Veterans Drowned.

J. D. Carmichael, of Dillon, and j. w
Harmon, of Lexington, were drowned
yesterday in the bay, near Fort SUMTER.
They had gone out in small boat with
a party of friends for sail and the boat
was accidentally capsized. The bodies
were recovered soon after the accident
had occurred, and though every effort
known to science was made to resuscitate:
the unfortunate men, life had entirely de-
parted and they could not be broughtl
back to consciousness. The bodies Of the
dead men were brought to Charleston on
the S:45 boat from Mt. Pleasant and were
taken at once to the undertaking estab.;
lishment of J. NJ. Connelley, where they
were prepared for shipment to Dillon aud:
Lexington to-day.
Both of the drowned men we're Con-
federate veterans attending the reunion
and were men much liked by their con1-s
rades. Mr.. Carmichael is well-knowns
farmer of Dillon and his son was in the:
