Few people give enough thought to the earning
capacity of a dollar. When you look at a dollar, do
not think of how much it will buy, but
HOW MUCH IT WILL EARN.
When you find yourself -thinking of your dollars
in this way, you are starting on the only straight
and sure road to wealth. Idle dollars arc of no more
uso to tho world than idlo men. Every dollar you
make over the cost of actual necessities, should be
immediately placed under tho safeguard of a strong
bank and kept busily at work earning other dollars
for you. Wo pay four per cent interest on savings
accounts and figure the interest every six months.

Saturday.
The day was an ideal one and
tho trains began to nrrivo before
the appointed time with many peo
ple from all over central Maui,
while many came by private con
veyance.
Trap shooting and lawn tennis
were the events of the day and ex
cellent trap shooting and tennis
were played and each attracted
about the samo number of specta
tors. The tennis court was in the
finest condition and is as fine n
court as there is in the islands.
The greatest care has been used
to make it the best and keep it in
fine condition.
A large grand stand was recent
ly built on the windward side ot
the grounds and as it faces to the
leeward tho guests were sheltered
from tho strong winds that usually
prevail at Puunene.
Tho stand was beautifully fes
tooned with many flags of different
nations and over all floated the
American flag.
At noon an excellent lunch
spread for all which was duly
joyed.

The trap shooting attracted
great many lovers of out door
sports and many who are organiz-
ing'new clubs on the island who
wished to witness the exhibition of
tho best shots of the island.
The Mind was very erratic for
which reason probably some of the
best shots did not come up to their
usual high standing. Those enter

SINGER SEWING MACHINES
Cannot be obtained through merchandise dealers. They are delivered
directly from maker to user only through the Company's own em
ployees. There is as great a difference in the cost of making sewing
machines ns there'is in making watches. A cheap watch will indicate
tilde witli fair accuracy for a short time, l'airly good stitching can be
done on some of tlie old patterns of cheap sewing machines when they
are new, but they always work hard, nre noisy and soon wear out.
Every SINGER MACHINE is tested by actual sewing at the factory.
It is always ready for every kind of stitching and will do better work
and do it longer than any other because it is of better design and
construction. A 1'os.tol Card to

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
A fatal accident
oceured at
II. C. & S.
Cant) Seven, on the
Co's. plantation a'jout noon on
Sunday last.
Murasigi was shot in tho head
and killed by the accidental dis
charge of a shot gun in the hands
of William von Scggprn while the
Japanese was passing along the
road.
Mr. von Scggern was in the
house of some Japanese and sent
his little son out to sec if thcro
weie some pigeons near. The little
fellow soon returned and reported
that he had seen two and bis fath-
and two Japanese started at
once out of the room. As they got
on to the veranda the gun Mr. von
Seggcrn was carrying accidently
struck a post and being discharged
the shot entered the head of a Jap
anese hack driver by the name of
Murasigi, who was driving by .at
tho time. Mr. von Segccrn and
the Japanese who were with him
carried the unfortunate man into
i house and Mr. yon Sbggern sent
one of the men to telephone at once
for a doctor.
The man was eared for by Drs.
Kurasaki, Sawyer and Dinegar and
everything done to save him but
he died early Monday morning
from the effects of a blood clot,
that formed on tho brain.
A coroner's jury was cmpaunel
ed consisting of George Weight,
Dr. Boole, Hans Amundsen, J.
Kirkland, W. dwell, and M. P.
Waiwaiole.
Several Japanese eye witnesses
were called and as all testified to
tile accidental shooting and furth
er showed conclusively that the
same was purely accidental and
that tho men wero on most friend
ly terms, tho jury brought in a ver
dict of accidental death.
MCGREGOR'S AND MAALAEA
LANDINGS DAMAGED.
During -Wednesday night very
high seas swept over the new wharf
at McGregor's Landing tearing off
the planking and guard rails but
doing no other serious damage.
Tho wharf at Maalaca Bay suf
fered still moro and is now in a
very dilapidated condition. Many
piers are broken land part of the
wharf hangs down into the water,
McGregor's Landing was com
pleted by Cotton Bros, last April,
but has not been used as a landing
for want of an approach from the
wharf to the main road, which is at
present being worked upon. The fact
that tho contractors built tlfo land
ing solidly is proven by the tearing
away of only tho planking and
guard-rails.
ino wnan at jUaalaea liav was
already in a very bad condition,
and now is probably not fit for
use., Last week for want of pro
per lights an accident occurred at
this landing causing an unfortu
unto aged Portuguese woman to lose
her foot by amputation.
It is to be hoped that the autho
rities will immediately remedy the
recent damage to avert any moro
serious accidents in tho future.
