STOCKS STRONGER
ALL ALONG LINE

There has been considerable ginger
to the stock market today. 1t is true
that the demand for stocks is not
heavy, but it is sharp and insistent.
Some surprises have resulted in con-
sequence, as, for instance, the sale
of block of a prominent stock at a
low figure on the very edge of an
advancing market The indications
are Of a somewhat rapid return, in
the next ten days, to period of con-
siderable activity all along the line
Honokaa stockholders were gratifi-
ed to learn this morning of a sale of
30 shares of the stock Of that planta-
ton at 81, this being an advance from
a last previous sale of $40 On the
board this morning $40 so was freely
bid for the stock, with none out.
Oahu stock was also stronger and
in good demand. Appearances are
that large blocks are being sought in
dicating that some of the big" fellows
are after the property. Between
boards 10, 10, 10 and shares sold at
S26, and 100 at S26. 1875. This morn
ing 5 shares sold at the latter figure,
after which the same was bid for
more and $26 % asked.
Also on the street a block of 20
Eva changed hands at $27 90 and on
the board this morning shares sold
at the same. AT the close more

THE NOVELTY

The Novelty will have some new
attractions next week. The new peo-
pie are excellent performers, it is
said, and should do well OF the Novel
ty. The newcomers are billed as the
great X. Hasson Ben abdic and his
wife. The bunch promise to give
something that has never been seen
at the Novelty before, so this alone
will prove attractive, as Honolulu
wants novelties that are good all the
time. If the new people are good
then they can be assured of a LONG
season if they can spare the time
here. The -Barkley's are still in
the bill, and so is Master Jimmie
All these people are going well, ant
are having a long season. Miss Mar
garet Lowell is also in the bill, render
ing her ballads, and sne has hos
of admirers. AS usual, the pictur,
end of the show is well maintained
and this is highly appreciated by tn
large audiepces that foregather a

had been off the boat not TWEEN

put them in right from the start. on
the opening night Barnes had a nasty
fall which precluded him from ap-

mot hurt, but had received a shock. On
the second night, however, he was all
right, and the show that they put up
was splendid. They are dancers who
have no equals in their particular
line. The way they dress, and the
way they do their turns, show that
they are above the average. They
begin to dance Immediately they
touch their mat, and it is a revelation
the way they make their steps ring
out. Barnes and West are undoubt-

MORE BAD
FILIPINOS COME

The importation of dread diseases
into Honolulu per medium of Filipino
laborers still continues, for out of the
forty -four who arrived by the Korea
yesterday no less than nine are being
held by the health authorities pending
a solution of the problem of their dis
position. The problem of disposing
of these men without turning them
loose to spread disease among this
community is one which faces the
health authorities and one which de-
mands the closest attention. The nine
men who have gone to swell the num-
Der already obtained by the health
authorities were suffering from ira
choma in three cases, tuberculosis in
three and venereal diseases in three.
In addition there was one old man
in an advanced stage Of senile decay
who could do no work at all. The rest
of the men are rather a better class
, physically than usually arrive here
but still they are far below the stand
ard required.
! In order to again draw attention to
the fact that many Of them are Grim
inals, it is only necessary to reproduce
the remark of one, when asked his
profession.
/ 81 am a prisoner" he replied APP
parently he had been so long in Jail
that he looked upon detention as be-
ing his normal situation.
DR.. Ramus was asked this morning
what would happen to these men.
"They will be kept by myself for a
few days in order that close scrutiny
can be made of them, and after that il
will be matter for the health depart
Iment."
: He also remarked that the other
, ninety odd FilipinOs who are still de-
tanned would probably be disposed OF
during the next few days when they
would pass out of his control, but as
; to their disposition nothing has vel
!, been decided. 1t seems that there car
be only one thing to do and that is t
deport them, but here arises a ques.
ton as to whether such a step would
? be a legal one. FilipiBos are from
l American territory, and they canno
be stopped from entering Hawaii, un
less they are suffering from quaran
. Unable diseases such as plague, vel
3 low fever, smallpox, ETC., and thes
3 men who are now being held do no
suffer from any of those diseases, al
though they are in a shocking ply
steal condition, and the officers thin
d it would be nothing short of crimina
= to turn them loose on society.
10 why are these men permitted I
: travel by steamer to Honolulu" Dl
- Ramus was asked.
The ships doctors are not Gale

q Though it would be apparent to an
medical officer that they were sui
u fering from the diseases mentioned
+ They cannot be stopped from tray

is a great distinction made betwee
Filipinos and Asiatics. We can TejeC

THE FIRST Week
OF THE NEW YEAR

In a business way, the first week in
January has not been half bad As a
rule the first month of the year starts
off exceedingly slow, and some such
experience had been anticipated for
this period 1t is true that no one is
complaining of Over-work; but at the
same time there is a snap to business
which is as satisfactory as 1t is I'M
expected
The retail stores have had little to
complain of the first week of the year.
Of course, however, business has not
been up 20 chat of like periods of pre-
ceding months. In dry goods, the lead
ing merchants have started out with
marked confidence. Some of them
have already started their clearance
sales" which serve to keep things
moving, and the indications are that
in this line, as well as others, quite a
heavy business is fairly certain during
the winter and spring months.
Two of the larger banks have issued
their statements, and the showings
are more than tisfactory-setting at
rest any apprehension of money tight
ness for this period or the early fu-
ture. Two of the larger banks have
not yet reported, but it is understood
that the condition Of either is in every
respect very satisfactory.
1t was not figured thai there would
be anything doing in stocks before the
10th, or 18th of the month, 90 that the
spurts taken by several investment
propositions have been agreeable sur
prises in way. In the immediate fu-
ture stocks will be Influenced largely
by the crop and price indications of
the latter half Of this year-it being
conceded that sugar prices for the
first half of the year will be low; sc
that the investor will quite likely OF
cupy some of the space hitherto taken
by the Spectator in the market, for
some weeks to come,
Wholesalers report a very satisfac
tory beginning for island trade. Thus
far orders have not been heavy, but
compare favorably with like periods
Of former years. Shipping is also max
ing start that bears every promise O.
2 developing into an exceedingly bus!
season.
This, the first week of January has
not afforded a bad start. It's showing
has been above the average all alonl
the line, and, barring the low price o
sugar, conditions may be written dow
as excellent.

SNOW ON HAWAII

Alfred W. Carter arrived in the
Mauna Kea this morning from Wal
mea, Hawaii, with a story of a re.
markably heavy fall of snow on both
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The
mountains are white lower down their
sides than ever before in the history
of these Islands, coming clear down
to the plateau; and the sight is ex-
tremely grand.
The snow will be a great thing fol
many of the plantations later on, as
it will fill the subterranean and otnei
water courses.

LAW LECTURE BY
ALMY STOPPED

Manuel Rodrigues, who was charged
with using threatening language
against Captain Hooking of the Ger
man steamer Erna, was this morning
discharged by Judge Lymer, who held
that, although on the evidence it
would be easy to find that the defend
ant had more use of vulgar, language,
was disorderly, or perhaps would be
liable under the common nuisance
law, he did not feel disposed to con-
Wet him on the charge of threatening
language. He did not think Captain
Hooking was in reasonable fear of an
offense against his person or property,
4, though it was very improper and re-
prehensible for the defendant to make
the disturbance he did in Hackfeld's
office.
Rodrigues was defended by Attor-
ney L. NJ. Strahs, who asked for dis
missal OF the charge before putting
on any evidence TO tribe defense. The
words complained of 'Ill get even
with you before you leave port" did
not constitute threat, he said, but
Judge Lymer overruled that motion
and directed that the defendant pro.
duce his witnesses.

EGYPTIAN COTTON
IN UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, December 25-
Successful experiments by the De-
partment of Agriculture in acclimat-
ing and breeding Egyptian cotton in
the south western part of the United
Statos have led Government experts
to believe that this cotton can be
grown with profit in this country.
The department announces that the
breeding work has developed several
superior strains and two distinct va
ricties, which are ready for testing.
Favorable results as to the quality
and uniformity of the fiber produced
have been obtained from these eX-
periments.

Secretary Wilson, of the department
of agriculture, sent Egyptian cotton
seed to these Islands years ago with
the request that experiments in
growing be made. 1t was found that,
ewing to soil or climate or both, the
stalk developed luxuriantly but the
yield of cotton was light. At any
rate, it was not so suitable to local
conditions as either the caravonica or
Sea Island.

DEEPEST SLEEP.
II Always Occurs During the First
Hour of Slumber.

II Always Occurs During the First
Hour of Slumber.
"Yes," said the doctor, sleep is a
very puzzIing mystery. Nobody knows
what the cause of 1t is, but we do
know that it is always accompanied
by anaemia OF the brain. In other
words, when you sleep the blood
drains away from the head to the
limbs. If you fell asleep on a bal
anced I'D, the moment you dropped
off the foot Of the bed would begin to
sink, and the deeper the sleep the
greater the slant.
THAT Is why a hot bath tends to
sleepiness. 1t brings the blood to the
skin and so lessons the supply in the
brain. C~uriously enough, great cold
has the same effect and for the same
reason. You know how cold swells
and reddens the hands.
Recent experiments have shown
conclusively how pale and bloodless
the brain grows in sleep. How?
Well. a piece Of bone has been remov-
ed from the skull Of a puppy and a
watchglass inserted instead. The mo.
ment the puppy under observation

again. No; the puppy doesn't seem to

WASHING THE DISHES.
Suggestions to His Brothers by the
Club Woman's Husband.

Si6o "StUGUS btao60u6s
Tonight l want to offer my brother
husbandettes a valuable hint about
dishwashing.
When you do the dishes don't set
the dispan In the bottom of the sink,
as most men do. Sinks may be the
right height for women. but they are
too low for men.
For months | suffered from crick in
the back, aching shoulders, stiff neck
and abdominal cramps. consulted
Dur family physician without obtain
ing relief.
At last, quite by accident, I lit on
the aus Of my trouble. A pile OF
skillets and saucepans had been left
In the sink, and I put the dishpan on
them. Then l was not obliged to
bend over so far as usual, and that
day I had hardly any lumbago pains
at all.
Since then l have rested the dishpan
on a couple Of bricks placed In the
bottom OF the sink, and I wash the
dishes standing almost erect. The
roses are coming back into my cheeks,
and our whole home is brighter as a
result Of my lucky discovery.
I am sure that my men readers will
be saved many miserable hours II they
win follow my suggestion. The bricks
may be used between times as door
shoppers, foot warmers or nutcrackers.
Tomorrow evening l will tell you
what ! know ABOUT washing granite
