life OF the Sandwich Islands OF those
days soon enticed him to return He
shipped as a sailor under the late
Captain Luce in brig bound to Hon
olulu and for this passage he received
500.
Once more ashore in Honolulu, he
made up his mind never to go to sea
again and up to about the year 1874 he
as violinist and with a friend as plan
list, supplied the music to all the en-
tertaiuments in the CITY OF Honolulu.
BY this time he had saved sufficient
money to go into business and for
many years Mr. Odds was prosperous.
Through business reverses, political
changes and over confidence in those
he trusted, Mr. Olds became destitute,
but kind friends came forward and
saw that his wants were supplied in
every way up to the time of his death.
At his beautiful residence in Kaneohe
which is soon to pass under the ham
mer Mr. Olds had for many years
spent his time in identifying his
grounds by planting ornamental trees,
many of which were imported from
Australia.
The late Mr. Odds was a man who
possessed many good traits. In the
days of his prosperity his kindness of
heart would never let him refuse aid
to anyone in distress and he belonged
to that class of pioneers who went
forth as the advance guard to new
lands to pave the way for those who
we're destined to follow with the higher
form of civilization when the time
came and the country was ready for
il.

Barefaced Lies

Then why would it not be
proper to say barefaced truths.
At any rate, whatever We tell
you in the store or in the pap
er Is unvarnishtd fact, no half
truth, nothing kept back, no
half deception; but the plain,
open facts about our merchan.
disc and our methods.
We have a reputation to
sustain, a reputation gained
by thirty-four years of honest
business methods.
The present proprietor looks
back with pleasure to the time
when the founder of the bust.
ness, Chas. &. Cole, schooled
him in the honest business
methods he had practiced for
twenty-four years. They had
won him a business reputation
that the present management
regarded as rich legacy, and
with reverence for the honor
able spirit gone we have taken
genuine pleasure in conducting
the business as he would have
approved.
Constant improvement in
the quality of our merchandise
has been sought and, of course,
modern equipments have been
gradually installed, but we
take no credit for our methods
they belong to the man who
went before, who never we
believe in his whole business
career did a dishonest act.
If we have served our pub
lie better because of this early
education we ask you in your
heart to thank the founder.
We are content to know that
were he alive today he would
stamp with approval the bust
ness integrity we have main.
AS the head of the present

good opinion as much if not
more than we do your trade.
Come to us if you will for

more for your dollars than we

induced the Hartford Herald to fee

LAS information for The HART
FORD REPUBLICAN, we will state that
there has been a saving of more than
10 per cent. on the bridges built
in the county in the last seven years,
and more than % per cent. on the
building of the abutments. Now,
either show this is incorrect or shut
up about public outcry,' letting

The Herald and the ticket for
which it speaks would be very glad
indeed if we would shut up about
public outcry," letting by secret
bids, etc." but we will not, so long
as it and it's ticket refuse to answer
these questions with more satisfac-
ton and intelligence than they have
yet done. We have been unable to
learn from the public records-and
these public matters should be open
to the public or any other source
what has really been paid for these
bridges and it is impossible fer the
Herald or anyone to know what per
cent. has been saved or to have any
definite knowledge approaching that
point unless the actual cost can in
some way be ascertained. In any
event the Herald, the Democratic
ticket or any of its members will
do us and the voting public great
favor if they will explain that COM
