YORKVILLE
MONUMENT WORKS.
Remember the Dead

Every grave in York county should
be appropriately marked with a Tomb
stone or Monument. To do this Is not
only a mark of respect and esteem to
ones departed relatives. but it is de-
sirable and proper to place an endur-
ing record in stone over all graves. If
you have loved ones who have passed
to the great beyond and are consider
ing the idea Of a suitable marker for
their graves, we will appreciate a call
from you that we may have an oppor-
tunity Of showing you designs Of Head
Stones and Monuments and quoting
you prices.

TWO MEN TAKEN IN BY
POLICE FOR A HOLOUP

The police have two of the recent
corners to the beach in the tolls, in
/ connection with a holdup Monday
night One of them is Harry Perry,
who came here as second mate of the
ship Astral The other is P. Smith,
who was a. fireman on the Thomas and
was paid off and discharged here.
Perry has no criminal record 50 far
as is known But Smith has had po-
lice experience in Honolulu before.
A year or two ago several men from
the transport Sherman, then in port,
were arrested in connection with an
effort to pass counterfeit paper money,
the belief then existing that wide
spread plan existed to flood Hawaii
with counterfeit paper money, made,
it was believed, in Japan. Smith was
one of those arrested. and he served a
term of ten months in jail and then
left the country.
The holdup occurred at the corner
of Richards and Queen streets. A
Japanese named X Honda, from Wal
manalo, who had come to town for a
few days, had been visiting friends
in Kakaako, and was on his way back
to his hotel near the river. As he
approached Richards and Queen streets
man stepped from behind a tree,
seized Honda from behind, whirled
him around and caught him by the
throat to prevent an cutlery Another
man then came UP. and the two
dragged the japanese into the yard of
the old Russian Frank premises, where
they went through his pockets, taking
from Honda $5.05, all the money he
had Then they let him go and one OF
the men ran away and the other went
into a house on the premises.
Honda found Policeman Jose Peters
and told him what had happened. The
police station was rung UP and Off
GERS Manase and Malina responded
They went into the house with the
japanese and found Perry, whom the
Japanese identified as one of the men
who had robbed him. Perry was taken
TO the station and his connection with
the matter is being investigated. Smith
was picked up by Detective Reeves
yesterday afternoon. and his conneo-
ton with il is being investigated.

COAL PILE AF|RE
Discovered Monday Morning
and Fire Engine Set
to Work.

An obstinate fire has been burning
in the coal pile belonging to the Inter
Island Steam Navigation Company
on Ala Moana just opposite the Ho-
nolulu iron Works,
Two streams of water pumped by the
fire department have been pouring on
it for two days. A large force. of men
has been employed moving the mass
at the point where the fire is burning,
so as to enable the streams of water
to get at it more effectually.
Between the Ala Moana and the I'M
migrant Station grounds, just beyond
the Bishop wharf. the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company has a con-
siderable area of land used to store
coal on. The coal is built up in great
piles, fourteen to twenty feet high
Wooden ventilating shafts are placed
at intervals throughout the piles in
order to prevent fires starting in the
coal piles from spontaneous combustion
Many thousand tons of coal are stored
in these piles. The British steamship
Elvaston, which is at the Bishop
wharf, is discharging her cargo on this
pile.
The fire was discovered early Mon
day morning. 1t was in the center of
the pile nearest Ala Moana. Chief
Thurston of the fire department was
at once called and his advice taken.
A fire engine was placed on the Bishop
wharf and two lines of hose were car
ried to the point in the coal pile where
the smoke was escaping. These lines
of hose had to be carried over the
roadway leading to the Immigrant
Station, and for this purpose wire
was strung overhead, to which the
hose was suspended. Water has been
steadily pumped through these lines
of hose onto the fire ever since.
In addition, large force of men was
put TO work to move the upper part
of the pile where the fire was, so that
the water could get at it better.
There is no danger of the fire spread
ing, and it is only question of time
when the fire that is burning there
now will be extinguished. The only
visible sign of the fire was the smoke
"a heavy smoke as from imperfect
combuStion-which arose.

BIBLE READING MOVEMENT.
READING FOR MARCH is

on the morrow we departed, and came
unto Caesarea: and entering into the
house of Philip the evangelist, who
was one of the seven, we abode with
him. Now this man had four virgin
daughters, who prophesied. 10 And as
we tarried there some days, there came
down from Judaea a certain prophet,
named Agabus IL And coming to us,
and taking Paul's girde. he bound his
own feet and hands, and said. Thus
saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews
at Jerusalem bind the man, that own
eth this girdle, and shall deliver him
into the hands of the Gentiles. 10 And
when we heard these things both we
and they of that place hes ought him
not TO go up to Jerusalem. 10 Then
Paul answered, What do We, weeping
and breaking my heart? for / am ready
not to be bound only. but also to die
at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord
Jesus. IA And when he would not be
persuaded. we ceased, saying, The viii
of the Lord be done.
Is And after these days we took up
our bag gage and went up 10 Jerusalem.
Is And there went with us also certain
of the disciples from Caesarea, bring
ing with them one Manson of Cyprus.

lodge
