Gas Stoves

Those homekeepers who have
been suffering while cooking over
the hot coal range these warm
days will be delighted to know
that for Friday and Saturday we
have arranged a sale of Gas
stoves affording several good bar
gains. The beauty of the Gas
Stove is that it is so clean and re-
quires so little attention and is so
cool to work over in the warm
weather.

]. A. CUAMINS
NOT near DEATH

Hon. John A. Cummins, instead of
shivering on the brink of the River
Styx, with his physician standing
guard to keep his friends from seeing
him ''ferried DER" upon his seventy
ninth birthday yesterday, joined the
"pushp at the doors of grand opera
last night, and, disdaining the royal
box where erstwliile he viewed the
stage with living royalties, he climbed
the drugget coSereG stairs no gold
en- stairs" for him until he is good
and ready''a and took his seat with a
venerable LADY companion in the front
balcony row. There he sat smiling and
nodding to aeqnaintances in the inter
walls of Fausa for the two sands half
hours from, the first to the final
curtain. His friends never saw the
former statesman and prince of enter
tainers looking in more cheerful
spirits. This all was truly grand for
near octogenarian that, according
to a report in the morning paper, was
stricken with the grip at the heart on
Saturday evening, laying him in an I'M
conscious state from which he rallied
OH Sunday night but to whom his
friends coming, to congratulate him on
his natal day were forbidden by his
physician. This paper has no inforna-
ton to contradict the report so far as
it covers period up to yesterday
evening, but after eight o'clock his
presence in the opera house balcony
proved that the grand old man was
himself again whatever might have
been his case within the previous
tWenty-four hours. ~. ~s..
In old times Honolulu celebrated
the 18th of March, without being sure
in whose honor it did it most-John A.
CumminS, Kamehameha HI or st. Pat
rick, all of whose natal day it was
but John never allowed the people to
forget that he, at all events, was, the
live" celebrity of the trio For one
who advocated annexation as relief
from the troublous deadlock of 1892,
and came under sentence of death as
a ''royaliSt" conspirator i'm 1895, after
having for. lifetime been the great
est promotionist of Hawaii as its most
princely entertainer of the stranger
within the gates. Hon. John A. Cum
Minis is wonder of vitality at seven
ty-nine. The entire community hopes
to have him many years more in its
midst-and occupying the front row
in the balcony of its highest esteem.
