ALAKEA STREET
We have decided to to take a step in a business way that means the ANNIHILATION OF PRICES,
it means the closing out of one of the oldest branches of our large mercantile business. It means
greater energy directed toward serving the men of Honolulu for we are
Retiring from the Dry Goods Business
and to quickly get rid of the stock to make room for Men's Clothing ande-arrange the tailoring de
partment we are going to offer all of the lines heretofore carried for the ladies of Honolulu at
prices less than half formerly charged.
Closing Out Sale begins Saturday, April 3, at 8 A. M.
The enlarged department will be opened on a plan never before
attempted in this city. We have the store, the locality and the
knowledge of the wants of men in the clothing line. The new
fixtures will be of a character which for novelty and stupendous
ness has never been seen outside of New York City.

Praise for S. M. Damon
Major 8. W. Dunning. 20th U. 8.
Inf., thinks that If tho United States
hnd inoro public-spirited men like Mr.
ff. M. Damon of Honolulu, II. I., tho
rcgulnrs and National Ouardsmcn
would fare better In tho States. Mr.
Damon owns one of the most beauti
ful pieces of ground near Honolulu,
and ho has turned It over lo tho mili
tary authorities as a temporary camp
for tho 20th Infantry and tho 1st
Regiment, N. (l. II. From tho slto n
magnificent view Is hnd of Honolulu
and Pearl Harbor. Ofllcers who liavo
visited Hawaii will recognize tho
place when told that It Is on a hill
between tho Moannlun polo field nnd
golf links, on one side, nnd the llono
lulu plantation on the other. Tho
camp. In honor of tho generous do
nor, wns named "Camp 8. M. Damon."
While any expression of llbernllty
like til at of tho patriotic Honolulnn
Is nlwnys plcnslng, wo think tho
camp facilities of States nnd the Na
Hon should depend not upon this or
that person's public spirit, but upon
a woll-dcflncd plan of providing per
manent ground, owned by tho au
thorities, for the use of troops. Tho

VETERAN DIES IN STREET
Santo Rosa, Mnrch 24. Arthur M.
Renshnw, a veteran of tho civil war
and well known In this State, whero
ho had resided slnco 1887, dropped
dead In tho street hero this morning
whllo engaged In conversation with a
friend. Ho was Cfl ycais old, With
his wlfn ho recently returned fmm n

If Jeffries should agree to box
Johnson, where would tho contest
tako placo?"
That Is whnt they nro nsklng now.
Of nil the bids mado so fnr, It Is
manifest that only two those of
Wren nnd Mackintosh of Australia
aro genuine, nnd no matter how
Johnson feels about It, Jeffries, It
his word counts for anything, Is ful
ly determined not to fight off tho
American mainland.
To narrow tho field still further,
Jeffries for personal reasons will not
ndorn nny ring pitched within tho
confines of tho Stnte of Nevada. And
with the gold camp country elimi
nated ft begins to look as if Califor
nia Is the only spot that ran offer
hospitality to the men of tho ring.
During nil tho tltno hlgh-falutln'
offers wcro pouring in on tho men, It
wns noticed thnl Promoter Jim Cof
froth held aloof nnd had nothing to
sny. Colfroth knows t,!uit everything
comes to tho man who waits, nnd ho
feels no doubt that when Johnson
und Jeffries hnvo reached tho deter
mination to cngngo in n real light
for real money, they will rely upon
him to lead them out of tho wilder
ness of tnlso excitement and bogus
bidding.
Tho "latest In tho Johnson-Jeffries
business Is that Jeffries has absolute
ly refused to discuss tho terms of a
contest with Jack Johnson. Such be.
Ing tho case, tho prospect of n light
between tho men begins to appear
hopeless.
n st t:
Jack Johnson paid his first visit lo
Chicago, on March 1G as tho cham
pion boxer of tho world, and ho wns
feted throughout n day filled with
excitement In Chicago's darktnwu.
His ov-v wonl and move spol i of
sclf-rch ico and a firm belief in his
ability to muster any other boxer lu
tho world.
Regarding himself anil retired
Champion Jeffries, Johnson was
frank. Tho pith or hla remarks
wcro:
"I enn lick Jim Jeffrie.
"JoffrlcB never licked it oung
man.
"I am tho bcrt .boxer In tho world.
"I am not only accept Ihalli'iigcs,
but am making them.
"The man I want Is Jim Jeffries.
"I will fight him, winner tnko all,
or any way ho wants to split tho
purso.
"I am going to New York to uiako
him light or shut up.
"I would much profcr to fight
jHffrlcs In tho United states. This
country Is my homo nnd looks. good
to mo, nnd I want my countrymen
to see mo In my championship llghtc.
I hnve promised Jim Coffroth to light
Jeffries before his club, nnd will keep
my promise if Joffrlos will consent.
Tho sooner the better will suit mo.
I don't bellovo I shall go to Kngland
to fight Sam l.angford lu May, as
was my orlglnnl Intention. I would
only get n thousand pounds for tho
ugni, and mink there Is moro money
to bo had In tho United BtatoB. And,
believe me, I am out for tho money.
" know I cun outbox Jeffries; I
think I tan hit as hard as ho can,
and I bellovo I am Just us strong. I
saw tho pictures he posed for In Chi
cago, nnd ho certainly looks to bo lu
fnlrly good condition. All of which
plenses me. I want to whip him
when he Is good, not when he's In
such shape that overybody will say
ho Is too old nnd fat to do htmsoK
Justice I want to meet a Jeffries
who Is aB nearly us good as tho old
Jeffries ns It Is possible for him 'to
get."
