HE TWO FOR
ONE GAME
t.-B BOTH NATIONAL DIAMOND
COMPANY FOUND OUTFLOW A SMART HUI HONOLULU MEN
PROPOSED TO WORK ANOTHER MANS GAME.
G7SOMOYOZ

The National Diamond Company"
of San Francisco, which recently open
ed Offices i'm the Alexander Young
building, has announced that it has
discontinued business in Hawaii. and
the offices i'm the building were vacat-
ed today. The company has issued
notice inviting those who have re-
ceipts for contracts with the company
to call at the Office and have the
money refunded The concern went
up against local hui which had a
scheme to beat the company's PROPOSE
tion and drive it out of business.
The diamond company's business Is
something i'm the nature of a Tontine
insurance policy business. According
to the company's plan patrons receive
two dollars for every one they put up,
if they stay with the game to the end.
\ contract is signed to pay ST., per
week for eighty consecutive weeks,
and at the end of that time the payer
may receive $16O or diamond valued
at 5000
Another contract is for payment of
fifty cents for so weeks and $50 cash
to be paid at maturity or a 500 dia-
mOnd. The company has done quite
a large business in San Francisco. 1t
is said that under the consecutive
weekly arrangements over half of the
subscribers drop out before the end
of eighty weeks and the forfeits thus
secured amount to enough to carry
the company and enable it TO meet its
obligations of giving 50 for 81 to those
who hold on.
A number of contracts had
been signed, but the company vii, not
keep them up and invites all who have
begun payments to call and get their
money back, The offices of the COM
pany this morning were abandoned,
Office furniture, etc, being removed.
1t was in the delinquency profits
that the local customers proposed to
beat the game, and they had a plan

Cholera Infantum-This has long
been regarded at one of the most
dangerous and fatal diseases to which
infants are subject. 1t can be cured,
however, when properly treated. All
that is necessary is to give Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and castor oil as directed,
with each bottle, and a cure is GER
tain. Since this remedy has come
into such general use, there are very
few deaths from cholera infantum,
and none whatever when it is given,

which is regarded as a "cinch." They
proposed to get together, give their
subscriptions to the Diamond COM
pany and then hire some one of the
hui to see to il that the weekly sub
scriptions We're regularly paid. The
company thus would he left out i'm the
cold as far as its eNpections of gather
ing in forfeited money were concerned
The local hui proposed to take the
company at its word, arrange to see
that the weekly payments We're all
regularly made, and at the end of the
so weeks demand its two dollars for
every one paid in. The prospect was
naturally too much for any business
concern, and the diamond company
cleared out in time.
On ordinary contracts for the week
ly payments, it is estimated that some
thing like - per cent of those who
subscribed drop out after paying a
number of weeks. They forfeit all
their payments The contract pro-
vides that the money must be paid on
a day set, every week, and there are
many chances which prevent such
regular payments. OF the class of men
to subscribe to the diamond scheme,
the proportion who are likely to fail
in digging up their dollar for 50 con
secutiye weeks is very large.
The hui could make the proposition
altogether different They could put
up $50 each spot cash if necessary and
hire someone to pay the 81 per week
each and at the end of so weeks get
a hundred per cent interest. If
twenty men went into the scheme and
put up $50 each, they would simply
have to pay over $1,000 and wait so
weeks and draw $1,000 for it. The
National Diamond Company's with
drawal from honolulu is very ma
turaI under the circumstances, though
the company is said to prosper in Cal
iiornia, where the hui scheme does not
seem to have developed.
