(From Sundays Advertiser.)
His many friends were shocked yes
terday to hear that Harry ]. Johnston.
the customs broker, had died about 8
O'Clock that morning in the Queens
Hospital He had been confined there
nearly two weeks with typhoid fever
and on Friday night, his condition be-
coming hopeless, a cablegram was sent
TO a friend in California to prepare
Mrs Johnston, visiting in San Fran
cisco, for the worst. A cablegram was
sent yesterday to the bereaved wife
announcing the expected as having
happened. 1t was reported later that
Mrs Johnston left in the Alameda for
Honolulu that day.
The late Mr.. Johnston was born and
educated in san Francisco. Starting in
business life as clerk in a law office
he afterward became clerk to a Gus
toms broker. He took up this business
for himself as a member of the firm
of Johnston & Fulton, but left San
Francisco to start an office, in the
Klondike. Returning, he stayed in San
Francisco but a short time until he

come to Honolulu and conduct their
brokerage work. Two years ago he
branched out for himself and soon won
recognition as an expert, plotting
number of customs disputes through to
success for his clients. His largest af-
fair was that of the sake duties. which
at his death was pending in the Fed
eral court in San Francisco. With
Thomas Fitch as counsel he had won
at various previous stages of the con-
troversy, and he was confident both
of winning in San Francisco and of
that ending the efforts of the Treas
ury officials to assess the rate of duty
they claimed. Final success would have
meant, it is said, about half million
dollars in commissions to Mr.. Johnston.
With his wife he leaves three young
daughters who are absent with their
mother. Mr.. Johnston belonged to the
Masons and the Elks. Kindly and
genial in disposition, he was well lik-
ed by all who knew him.
The funeral will be held from st. An

When making apple or any fruit pie
always place the quantity of sugar

also useful for cleaning rust from any

Get a good grade of very light lino-

Keep hominy, cracker crumbs, rice,

Many seem to realize that the chop

ground meat, though its uses are
many. 1t is used to grind nuts for
butter and similar products, cocoanut,
horseradish, corn for fritters, crack

quettes, and few salads are made
these days which have not passed
through the chopping machine. There
is no article more useful in the
kitchen.

KAHUKU MAY SOON BE
A DIVIDEND PAYER

1t is expected that Kahuku will again
become a dividend payer with the new
year. 1t was reported yesterday that
such would be the case. At the office
of Alexander & Baldwin, the agents of
the plantation, however, it was stated
that the matter had been considered
but had not been determined; and that
while it was thought quite possible
that dividends at the rate of one per
cent. a month might be resumed be-
ginning with January 81, it had not
yet been decided that they would.

AWFUL MURDERS
BY JAPANESE

The full particulars of the double
murder which took place in Honokaa
on Christmas Eve were given yester-
dav in the Hawaii Shimpo. The two
victims were Yoshindo Sugioka, the
proprietor of a Japanese hotel in Ho-
rokaa, and court interpreter in that
locality, and a woman named Tame.
10 whom he had been giving protection
while she was prosecuting her former
lover in the courts. Sugioka was one
of the most highly respected japanese
in that section OF Hawaii, and was
well known in this city.
The following tale of the murder Is
told: A japanese named Fukuda, who
had ill-treated the woman Tame, ac-
companied by a friend of his named
Mytsui. entered sugioka's office in the
hotel lust after he had finished his
supper. They asked for the woman
saving that they wanted to see her
very much. At first they were refused,
but when Sugioka found that they in
sisted. he called in the woman.
sugioka stayed and listened to the
conversation which took place. Flu
kuda began to talk loudly and to call
the woman bad names, then pulling
revolver from his pocket and firing at
her. hitting her in the left ear, the
bullet passing through her head and
coming out on the opposite side. she
staggered and fell to the floor, Mytsui
seizing her as she fell and cutting her
throat.
Then Fukuda advanced on Sugioka,
saving: "You have protected this
woman and now you are going to go
10 hell" He fired at him and hit him
in the heart. Mytsui jumping on him
as he fell and stabbing him in the
shoulder.
The two murderers attempted to
make their escape, but the police cap
tured Mytsui shortly afterwards and
are now searching for Fukuda
This murderer is supposed to be at
present on oahu, although a sharp
lookout was kept for him on the kinan !
yesterday The description furnished
by the police is as follows:
Medium height; slim build; reddish
brown complexion; no hair at all In I
eyebrows; left ear slightly raised, due
TO scar on left temple; hollow between
thumb and index finger on left hand; |
body covered with white spots, the i
man being a leper suspect.
High Sheriff Henry has offered $50
reward for his arrest.

Creamed Vegetables.
Euphemia woods.


To the inexperienced housekeeper
there is something quite appalling in
the sound of the name Of even the
most common vegetable, when the
word creamed is placed before it. It
brings visions of fashionable hotels
and high-priced restaurants, and
causes many doubts as TO the ability
of any ordinary cook to produce a
dish that shall be fit to associate with
so fine a name.
AS a matter of fact, it does not re-
quire a vast amount of intelligence
to make a very palatable dish of any
one of the numerous vegetables that
lend themselves to the ''creaming"
process, nor are half the recipes
usually given to this branch of cook
ing of any real use.
If the cook has the sense of taste
well developed, the battle is practi-
cally won. If she is deficient in that
most necessary characteristic of the
great cook, still she need not despair,
for she can learn by experience what
sort of seasoning is best for the diff
ferent vegetables, and how much of
it will be tolerated by her family.
To cream vegetables they should
first be cooked until tender in clear
water, then cut into slices and stewed
for a few moments in a rich gravy,
made by stirring, a little -four into
thin cream, seasoning to taste, and
letting it come to a boil.
There you have the outlines. Now
for the variations.
To begin with, few housekeepers can
afford cream, and milk must be used
instead. This necessitates the use Of
more butter, for creamed vegetables
are not good unless the gravy is suf-
fciently rich.
Then, some vegetables are better to
be cooked in so small a quantity of
water that it will be almost cooked
away when the vegetable is tender.
The potato is of this class. Such veg
etables should be cut into slices be-
fore they are cooked, and the gravy
poured over them when tender, that
none of the liquid in which they are
cooked need be lost. Most people pre-
fer asparagus creamed in this way,
but some find the taste of the aspara-
gus too strong.
Turnips, carrots, and other strong
tasting vegetables should be cut into
slices, and either boiled in great deal
of water, or the first water should be
poured off after a few moments, and
fresh boiling water added. When ten
der, they should be SKINNED out,
then turned into the gravy.
AS a rule, pepper, salt and butter
form the only seasoning for creamed
but sweet herbs or spices, |
or extracts, are sometimes added
when the dish is to be as "Frenchy'
as it can be made.
Among the vegetables that are nice !
we have asparagus, cabbage, |
carrots, cauliflower, sweet corn, hulled !
corn, eggplant, onions, potatoes, sal |
sify, turnips and pigweed.
Don't turn up your nose at the last !
mentioned dish, just because you never
tried it and don't know how good it |
IS! Pick it while very tender, discard |
ing all that is not quite brittle. Par
boil it for five minutes, drain it, add
boiling water and little salt, and let
It cook until well done, then skim 1t |
put and boil two or three minutes in
1 rich gravy.

THE TRTh ALWAYS.

not in business. Fraud and de-

long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-

ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for

"The first modern automobile was
built by Amadee Bollec in 1873. Bollec

Paris, and other men, as is always the
