CHEAP KINDNESS.
Charity -Hint i'h cheap in not
always the least acceptable. In
deed, what costs us little, to mako
the unfortunate happy, may like
ly bo mora esteemed by tlio bono
fiuinriob thau greater sacrifices,
foi the reason that it involves a
lighter tax on the seuBo of obliga
tion Visitors to Molokai the
othor day found that the sick folk
there, although having fow and
slight complaints to utter, would
have their hours greatly cheered
if the people of Honolulu thought
oftener to sond them reading
matter. Poor old Jack Lewis,
sitting in his cottage door by the
waysido, turned his sightless eyeB
in the direction of a friendly hail
and spoke the desires of hie heart.
Ho exacted a promise from the
president of the Board of Health
to have a stone fenco built to pro
tect his lowly cot, and then he ad
jured the visitors to send him
some papers now and again. "My
boy is dead," he said in an
swer to a remark, "but tlio
little girl can read to mo."
Many people in Honolulu have
old magazines and illustrated
papers that they will nover mako
any use of, and which would bo
highly appreciated by the denizens
of Kalaupapa and Kalawao. For
eign newspapers not too ancient,
with the local papers, would also
be eagerly welcomed. Parcels of
reading matter for Kalaupapa
may bo sent to the reading room
there, or in care of the storekeeper
at the laudiug, and for Kalawao
to the Ghristiau Brothers in
charge of tlio Baldwin Home.
This is one of the easiest ways
that can -be imagined for sending
rays of enjoyment into Uvea that
have little happiness left to them
in this world.
BENEFACTORS BOTH.
Charles 11. Bishop and Henry
P. Baldwin, if they never did any
othor works of benevolence which
both aio well known to have done,
had not made their "piles" in vain
when they drew therefrom to ereot
the homes for girls and boys at
Molokai. These institutions, built
by Protestants and conducted by
Roman Catholic devotees of
charity and good works, have un
doubtedly constituted the chief
agency in effeoting a revolution in
the conditions of life generally at
'Kalaupapa and Kalawao. It is
because of them that Father Pam
phile after crossing oceans and
continents to take up the work
left by bis lamented brother is
enabled to say, regarding minis
trations to the bodily sufferings of
the lepers, "There is nothing to
do." Sick young people and help
loss aged ones are gathered in
most comfortable wards, within
compounds as airy as all outdoors
and beautiful with tropical flora,
while having the Sistors and
Brothers available to aid and com
fort them at a moment's call.
There is thereforo really nothing
left which those devoted women
and mon do not accomplish, of
such Bovere labors as Father Da
mien for long years endured, in
the most repollant duties of hos
pital nursing and tlio arduous toil
of houso to houso visiting and
ministering at the bedsides of tho
sufforing and dyipg.

The suspension of a prominent
shipping aud commission firm,
Williams, Brown fe Co., of 308.
Market streot, caused no little
comment yesterday in commercial
circles, says tho San Francisco
Chroniclo of May 12. Thoro woio
no promouitory indications, no
deed of trust, no assignment for
bonofit of creditors, for tlio roason,
aB stated by those interested, that
no ono in tho city had authority
to sign any such documents. Tho
stops which wound up what wns
considered an eminently prosper
ous firm were taken by ono who
had no further interest in tho en
torpriso than tho drawing of his
salary.
Managor Arthur F. Thane ran
tho concern as long as ho thought
there were enough sinews of war
in sight, and when baro spots
showed in the bank account ho
called tho creditors togctbor.
Henco tho meeting yesterday aftor
noon. The firm of Williams, Brown &
Co. has been in existence for sev
en years. Tho house has had a
prosperous trade, chiefly with
Australia, in canned salmon, fruits
and othor Pacific Coast products.
Falk & Co. of Sydney have been
tho Australian correspondents of
the firm. It was to see them that
Henry A. Williams, accompanied
by his wife aud throe little daugh
ters, left San Francisco on March
7. Before his departure Williams
did not say to any ono that ho
considered his business in such
precarious condition that an ad
justment with his correspondents
was necessary, and it was goner
ally understood that he was going
on an ordinary tour of businet-s
inspection.
When Arthur F. Thane had
sent out notices to creditors of the
firm yesterday he Honied himself
to all callers. The news spread
rapidly in commercial circles, but
still Thane refused to vouchsafe
information. Tho creditors met
behind closed doors, and when
thoy had adjourned Henry F.
Fortmauu, president of tho Alas
ka Packing Association, gave out
the following statement:
"The assets and liabilities may
be stated thus: Unpledged as
sets, $200,000, consisting of goods
in the warehouse and bills re
ceivable; liabilities, partially so
cured, Bank of California, 893,
750; Bank of British Columbia,
$5G,300; sundry itoms of in
debtedness, including S5UUU to
the 1 lsuermeu's l'ackiug Com

ing Association, S38.000; Delafield,
McQovern & Co. of New York,
$24,000; H. Dudley & Co., Now
Xork, S28UU, and sundries, S'JOOO;
Comptoir National d'Dscompte do
Paris, S70,30j.
"The creditors have done no
thing so far except to appoint a
committoe to ascertain what can
be done in the premises. Tho
gentlemen named for that purpose,
are: D. DryBdalo of the Alaska
Packing Association, A Powell of
the Bank of British Columbia, P.
E. Bowles of tho First National
Bank of Oakland and S. Prentiss
Smith of the Bank of California.
Another meeting will be called
within a few days and decisive
stops will be taken."

CAUTION
THE greatly Increased price of cream of tartar, the
chief ingredient of a pure baking powder, has in
duced some manufacturers to substitute burnt alum
(which costs but 3 cts. a pound), largely or wholly in
lieu thereof, making a very low cost but a very un
wholesome baking powder; and great efforts are made
to foist these inferior powders upon consumers by the
inducement of a lower price and by grossly false repre
sentations as to their ingredients and comparative value.
Alum baking powders have been declared by the most
competent authorities injurious to health. Therefore
every precaution must be taken to keep them out of
the house. They masquerade under many names, and
new brands are continually appearing.
It is safe to avoid all new brands. Baking
powders that are sold either wholesale or retail at
a lower price than Royal are almost invariably
made from alum, and therefore not only inferior
in quality, but positively dangerous to health.
Consumers can be more certainly protected from
alum baking powders, and make the wholesomeness
of their food doubly sure, by rigidly refusing all sub
stitutes for Royal Baking Powder. The Royal is cer
tified by the Government and State chemists free from
alum, absolutely pure, and superlative in leavening
power.
It is unwise to take chances by the
use of other brands.

A bright llttlo boy who attends
ono of tho oity public schools was
told by his toacher a few days
ago to writs an esRay on "Journa
lism," and next day he handed in
tho following:
"Journalism is the science of
nil sorts of journals. There is 11
heap of kinds of journals. Journals
is good things 'cept when they is
hot journals, and then tlioy is just
awful. My ma, she takes a fashion
journul what is always full of
pictures 01 horrid old maids with
the ugliest dresses on I ever saw.
Tho fashion journal is a heap
gooder than tho hot journul,
'cause tho hot journal stops tlm
train and tlio fnshion journal
starts it. Thn fnshion journal don't
stop nuthin' but tho broken win
dow light nud pa's bunk account.
"There is slioep journals nnd
hog journals and bmss journals,
too, and pa hup got a journal down
at tho store and writes things in
it nbout folks he doo't want to
forget. Then w had a hoiiiuii 'at
cooked for ns names Sally Jour
nal. She was the fuumot journal
I over s.i w. She wus a bald-headed
journul.
"They ain't no more journals
that 1 know of.

man what puts groase nn the cur
wheels is oalled a journalist."

Tho attention of tho publio is
now fully occupied and diverted
in the consideration and discus
sion of several important current
and prospective happonings. An
nexation, as yet unsecure, Re
ciprocity threatened; the coming
of the Naniwa, and her mission
aftor arrival; tho outcomo of tho
war between Groooe and Turkey
and, whother or no, all Europo
will oventually becoino involved;
tho sottloraent of the quarantine
squabble aro all themes of much
conjecture and uncertainty, and
wlnlo opinions aro freely offered,
none can accurately forololl tho
outcome of any of those matters.
Nevertheless, it is becoming moro
apparent, as eoob day passes, that
Buffalo and Hoffbrau aro the
favorite brows, and it is gratify
ing that assuranco is given that
regular shipments of theso wholo
sonio and strengthening bover
ages can bo depended upon, aud
that thay will, as heretofore, bo

and Cosmopolitan Saloons, and
that tho intorchangoablo check
system is an established fact.

BIRD CAGES, TROPICAL
FRUITS, ETC.
Everyone knows that a bird
in the hand is worth two in
the bush and this is particu
larly the case when the bird is
a pet canary and a good singer.
Nice birds should be kept in
nice cages and then they will
have no desire to take to the
bushes. vVe have just opened
up 0 variety of Bird Cages in
painted wire at $1.0 to $2. $0
and in brass $1.0 to $4.50; in
the prettiest and newest de
signs imaginable.
The mango season is now
on in all its force and the small
boy is engaged in his yearly
tussle with that luscious fruit.
In former years for every
mango fit to eat the boy
knocked down with a rock he
destroyed eight or ten unripe
ones besides half ruining the
tree. All this is changed now
since the introduction of our
Wire Fruit Pickers. With one
of these attached to a long pole
any particular mango can be
plucked without hurting the
tree or knocking off the unripe
fruit. By using one of these
handy pickers one gets several
times more fruit in better con
dition than by the old way of
firing rocks at the tree. They
cost only 50 cents each and a
child can use them.

4 PIANOS.
Tho construction is upon the
most advanced prinoiples of the
Att of Piano manufacture; and no
pains or expense have been spared
to not only solidly construct, but
to so apply the various parts that,
besides their wonderful singing or
toue-produoing power, they would
stand well in tune and in all cli
mates. The qualities of these Pi
anos aro Durability, Sweetness of
Tone with great power, Singing or
tone - carrying capacity, Evenness
throughout the Scale, and Standing
in Tune.
Tho "iEolian" Pedal, or "tone
muffler," is intended for the use
of beginners aud students of the
Piano-Forte, liy its uso, one de
rives all the benefits of touch,
while doing away with the noise
or monotonous tone produced in
the practise of scales, chords or
chromatics, which is so annoying
to the listener, and of no advan
tage to the performer. It also
saves the hammers from unneces
sary wear, theroby prolonging the
life of the instrument for many
years.
We are now offering these ele
gant Pianos on the most favorable
terms. Parties contemplating pur
chasing a Piano will do well to
investigate the merits of tho
"KINGSBURY."
