Tho testimony of Mr. R.
Dennis, Adelaide, South Aus
tralia, who was cured by Ayer's
Barsaparilla, is like unto that of
many thousands of othors. Ho
writes :
"It i3 with very much pleasure
' that I testify to tho great benefit I
received from uslnfj your wonderful
blood.puriflen 1 was a sufferer for
years from indigestion, loss of
strength and appetite, and coiistipa
tlon. My wholo system seemed to
bo thoroughly out of order. A friend
finally to'd mo to tnkn Ayer's Snrsa
parllla. I followed his advice, though
feeling discouraged nt tho fruitless
results of other treatment, and I am
thankful to state that a few bottle3
completely cured me."

A rocout iw,ue of the Montreal
Star contnius tho following, show
ing tho light in 'Which tho annex
ation queblion is viewed from u
Canadian, standpoint:
With tbo return of the Repub
licans to power in tho United
States, it is quito possible that tho
question of annoxatiou of Hawaii
by tho American lupublio will ou
ter ngnin tho domain of practical
politics. Tho Republicans would
have annexed Hawaii in 1893 if
Grover Olovolaud had not come
into powor just ns tho treaty was
passing through the Senato, when
ho rocalled tho instrument to tear
it up. The tornndo of abuse (hat
fell upon him for tho first act of
foreign policy staggered hia bost
friends nt tho time, and was the
beginning of that steady isolation
of tho Executivo which loft it
without a party or oven a vote of
thanks in 1800. Tho Repub
licans, on the contrary, have al
ways been favorable to tho re
eeptiou of tho isJandB within tho
Union, nud they are now coining
into powor.
Significant pleas foi the admis
sion of Hawaii nro-boginuiug to
appear in American periodicals.
It is undoretood that Barkis is al
ways "willin'," and thai the only
thing loft to be done is the sharp
ening of Uncle Sam's territorial
appetite. In the current Arena,
Mr. John R. Mustek paints Ha
woii as a richly dowered bride
eagerly aw ailing tho Raid Uncle
8arauol'8 espousals, nud trios to
hearten the old gontleman up to
innkn some advances. Ho holds
that tho islands must belong to
either "England, Jnpau or Ameri
ca," being far too rich to bo loft
unprotected on tho highways of
tho world. On geographical and
commercial grounds, and because
much of the enterprising pOpula
Hon of tho islands is Ainoricau.ho
urges that the latter alliance is tho
natural one. Ah a matter of fact,
aw his own figures show, there nre
nenily hh many RiitMi as Ameri
cans ou the islands, and neither of
them nro more than tho morest
fraction of the whole, beitm treat
ly overtopped by the Ohiuese, the
Japanese and the Portuguese.
The chief arguments against
annexation are diMniico from tho
United States, unconstitutionality
and the doubt whether t-o large an
alien population could be handled
under the Aiueiicmi system. Tho
firnt hf meets-b pointing out that
Honolulu is an cloe to San Fran
Cisco us Alaka or the Mississippi,
while the Louisiana pnrehaso and
the annexation of Texas are hold
to dispose of the constitutional
ol.jei.lion. TIih profit of tli." trans
action is defended by cotnpariug
it with Alaska, for which Presi
dent Grant paid 87,200,000. As
for the problem ot the alien popu
latiou, ho apparently proposes to
educate tho H'twaiians and got rid
of the Asiatics Mr. Musick has
obviously an optimistic, mind
which "laughs at impossibilities,"
nnu cuts through knotted ditlicul
tieB ns so much tissue paper.
Considering the faot that in 18U0
there were over 31,000 natives nud
nearly 19,000 Asiatics in Hawaii,
and only 1!)00 American, it
sounds a little odd to hear an
all men free and equal democracy
talk of disremirdiui' tho ooinionn
of tho 34,000 and deportiug tho
19,000, in order that the 1900
might havo their own way. One
of his paragraphs, dosoriptivo of
tho commercial wealth of the isl
ands, is worth quoting:
"In a commercial point of view,
they tho islands exceed many
much largor countrios. Tho in
tor islnud commorco of Hawaii
supports two large ptoaraship com
panies with a limit of fifteen or
twenty steamships each, both do
HONOLULU, H. I., TUESDAY, MARCH 1G, 1897.
ing a profitable business of over
a million por yoar. Tho Wilder
Steamship Company pays a divi
dend of 12 por cent por annum.
Thoro nro throe railroads on tho
islunds in additiou to tbs many
plantation railroads, nil doing a
thriving business. Rut Hawaii's
greatest woalth lies in her rich
plantations of sugar, coffee, rico
and all tho fruits of tho tropics."
What Britain will do in tho
caso of a revival of tho question it
is hard to say. Sho dicinot show
any open interest in tho subject
in 1893, though it was folt then in
Canada that it was by no menus a
matter of iudifforoneo to tho
British etnpiro what powers con
trolled those islands-in tho middle
of tho Paoifio, oloso to which tho
Canada-Australia cable must run,
and about which will circulate tho
commorco of tho greatest of tho
oceans. Four years may havo
brought new light, and we may
hoar a domand for at least a
guarantee of tho perpetunl inde
pendence and neutrality of tho
islands. This would onablo thorn
to develop their republic as peace
fully as if they wero a part of tho
United States, and they would
then be in a position to profit by
tho trado of tho now Vo6teru
world.

Anchored.
Anchored is what tho man said
whon ho dropped into tho Anchor
Saloon. Why? said his friond.
Because you can always got a
cool refreshing drink served by
gentlemanly attendants, and if
you happen to drop in during
lunch hour you will bo regaled
with solids ns well as liquids. In
fact the lunch nt tho Anchor is
said by many to bo the best iu
town. Tho celebrated Seattle
beer is on tap. It is sparkling
and ice cold. Tho finest of wines
nud liquors in town are to be had
at this popular resort.

Homo peoplo took an earlier car
than was necesoary to reach Prof.
Bristol's horse show at tho open
ing hour last night, thinking that
tho timely enough ones would bo
crowded. An extra open car run
iug ahead .of tho 7:15 Punahou
regular, however, waB jammed to
tho platforms, men and boys slant
ing outward, like stakes in an old
cauo car, as thoy olung to the
posts. Tho regular car was com
fortably filled but, on its boing
rung down at tho Borotnnia street
eutrnnco of tho pavilion, tho pas
sougers holding reserved seat
tickets for tho show unwittingly
alighted. That proved to be tho
general admission entrance, tho
reserved ono being on Alakeu
street.
On Borotanin street there was an
iudcscribablo scene. Seldom if
over lino thoro Ldeu such a jam to
got into a show in Honolulu. Tho
space between tho hiuli iron fonce
and tho pavilion is only seven or
eight feet wido, and bore was a
solid mass of humanity, including
severnl nationalities, both sexes
and all ages struggling, pushing,
jostling, fighting first for access to
tho ticket sol or's wicket nnd then
to tho pavilion outrauco. Outside
of tho fence a corresponding ng
gregution of our heterogeneous
populace, extending across tho
car tracks and twenty yards along
the sidewalk, surged violently
against tho iron double gato. Now
and then the gato would be car
ried by Btorra, and a portion of
tho crowd outside would be hurled
into that iusidn. Ladies and
childron who wore, unwittingly as
stated, conducted off tho cars ut
the general admission gate had to
bo piloted by their escorts with no
small difficulty through all this
turmoil.
So tho bnttlo for position went
on till eight o'clock, tho ushors
having all they could do, in tho
meantime, to dispose of thoso
coming by tho reserved seat en
trance. At that hour the pavilion
was packod, literally, to the roof,
swarms of boys perching on the
plntos and cliugiug to rafters ami
braces. Hundreds must have turn
ed away in dospair of getliug a
seat. As promptly ns possible tho
stugo curtains wero drawn, and
Prof. Bristol presented his equine
Hohool in afow happy introductory
remarks. Ou concluding his
speooh ho quietly ordored tho ani
mals to make their bow, which
they all did promptly at the
front of tho stago in perfect
alignmout. Hero tho inulo
Denver begnu his fun. His
salutation to tho spectators
cousi-iotl in itipid up and down
oscillations of Ins head inexpressi
bly funny. Tho exhibition then
proceeded, with two inteivnls,
smoothly to tho conclusion. Per
haps the bost roport of tho wholo
performuueo would bo to say that
uovor woro tho promises uiado of
any ontertaininout more fully nnd
faithfully performed. Every act
on tho program wob dono and
well dono, oliciting warm tokens
of admiration. Now and then an
audible fominino whisper, "Oh,
the dour I" would bo heard as a
noblo animal displayed marvel
ous grace and intelligence.
Denver, smart as ho was, had
oloso rivals for favorito place in
tho hoarts of beholders, among
tho horsos. Still nothing could
havo surpassed tho antics of this
brainy mulo, and tho wondrous
intelligence he showod in a groat
vuiiety of acts such as aiding in
tho toilot of his master, fetching
and carrying, boll ringing and
fishing, soo-sawing, rockingjunoh
ing nud acting as monitor or mulo
of nil work about tho houso. Sul
tan, among ninny acts, crcatod tho
greutoat intorcst "by his solution
of arithmetical problems, giving
tho nnswore by strokes with
his paw on the ground.
Alphonso laughed consumedly
facing tho pooplo nud his hilarity
wns of courso contagious. Seven
of the animals gavo a concort of
bells, grasping tho handles in
their teeth. Tony, a mite of a
pony, gave Hying trnpezo acts,
ovon leaping from tho swing
through a papered hoop upon an
olovated pedestal. Dynamite is a
littlo pot of a mule, nnd gavo a
ropo walking exhibition, holding
a balanco polo, upon a narrow
spring board. "Tho comicnl mule
trado" nindo tho house laugh the
loudest. What waB surely the
prettiest scono in tho whole por
formnuco Was tho military drill at
tho closo. Many missed it through
their impatieuco to got out ahead
of tho crowd, although tho golting
out had no difficulties like tho
getting in.
If ovory net of this show wore
adequatoly described on paper,
tho reading of tho description
would bo quito unsatisfactory. It
is an exhibition that is to bo scon
and not read about. Thoro is
small chauco of anything like it,
or its equal ot the same kind, bo
ing seou again in Honolulu for a
long time. Thoro will bo a por
formunce every ovouingthis week,
with matinees nt 3 o'clock ou
Wednesday and Saturday nfter
noons. It will stand aeeiug over
and over again, but tho loss is
great to those who do not see it
once, and tho meanness deep of
thoso who do not givo their littlo
ones ii chance to see so clenu, iu
structive und entertaining uu exhibition.
4'ltlxrnn Attention.
These aro days of considorablo
anxiety and porploxity to all who
havo possessions or other interests
in Uie Republio of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to a
mutual uudorstanding ou sevoral
important issues. The prospects
for Annoxatiou appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be forotold with
certainty. Thero nro those, nlso,
who still fondly cling to tho hope
of a return to tho old order of
things, and who cannot bo por
'susdod othorwiso, yot this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation evon to tho
most hopeful disciples of tho
Monnrohy. But, fortunately, in
tho midst of all this uncertainty
thoro is solace in tho fact that
Buffalo Boer hus came to stay and
that patrons-of nil sorts and
opinions may equally share the
beuefits of its iuvigornting and
sustaining properties. Wo nro
moreover assured that this favorito
brow will continue to bo dispens
ed as horotoforo at tho Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa
loons. Tin, Crllall.
Thero'wns such a crowd of peo
plo at tho horso show Inst night
thnt mauy had to turn away aftor
waiting a couplo of hours to get
iu. Several policemen tried to
keep tho oiowd in order, but wore
glnd to escape with wholo skins.
Some peoplo woro uenrly suffocat
od in tho crush, having to bo lifted
up by tho police. Tho door at tho
main ontrnnco was torn down.
Aftor pushing nud throatoning the
uncontrollable mob, ono of tho
police got tho iron gatos closed
with some help and locked thorn
with a pair of handcuffs. Tho
handcuffs soon gnvo way, though,
and tho pushing and scrambling
for tickets wns as bad as ovor.

houso, executrix of tho will of J.
T. Watorhouso, deceased. It was
an action in assumpsit to recover
85114.03 of tho executrix of J. T.
Wuterhouse, second, deceased, on
a contract ruado with tho plaintiff
by Waterhouso in his lifotimo.
Ho wob to pay Weedou a salary
of two hundred .dollars a mouth
and a bonus of tlneo hundred
dollars at tho closo of each yoar
for a period of thrco years. It
waa also agreed that, should
chauges bo mudo in tho business
to uffect tho arrangement, tho in
terests of tho plaintiff would bo
provided for. Weedou nccepted
tho offer and managed tho busi
ness about nine mouths until tho
death of John T. Watorhouso, und
four mouths longer for tho exo
cutrix of his late employer's will.
Tho oxocutrix sold out tho busi
ness but refused to provide for its
till then mauugor, who thereupon
Biied on thev contract for tho
amount stated.
Tho Circuit Court sustained a
demurrer to tho complaint and
ordored judgmont for tho do
fondant. This decision the
Supreme Court sustains, holding
as follows: 1. A contract for
personal sorvicos terminates on
tho doath of tho employer. 2.
Tho clause in tho contract, ns to
providing for tho interests of the

Tho contract does not bind tho
