Marshal Brown has had a most novel
and interesting experience in tracing
the photograph of a $10 Hawaiian,
treasury note. The officer, it was noted
yesterday, had followed the bad bill
thrcugh the hands of six Chinese firms
and into the establishment of Bruce
Waring & Co., and Lewers & Cooke.
One of the young men in the employ
of Lowers & Cooke surprised the Mar
shal by satisfying him that the note
had come to the lumber house right
from the headquarters of the police
department. It was made clear that
the note was paid to Lewers & Cooke
by Mr. Dow, chief clerk in the Mar
shal's office. Mr. Dow, in turn, avers,
that he drew the bill from the banking
house of Bishop & Co. The bankers
are utterly unable to throw any light
on the hunt and it may be said that a
to this particular ten, refused by Theo
II. Davies & Co., the work of tracing is
ended. No progress at all has been
made in looking back for the $10 note
found by Mr. Abel at Hyman Bros., or
the $20 discovered at the Claus Spreck-
els bank. Marshal Browin said yester
day that in the search for the photo
grapher he had met with several ob
stacles, but hoped yet to place the
criminality with the man Who did the
wrork or with men who have been is
suing the few notes sent out experi
mentally. No bad bills were reported
yesterday.
Another case of expert and likewise
successful forgery has engaged the at
tention of a portion of the police de
partment for fully six months now
Innumerable clues have been followed
and the officers are satisfied as to the
offenders, but have been unable to se
cure sufficient evidence. All the news
paper readers will recall that from
timis to time there have been ac
counts of the sale of "bogus opium'" to
Chinese by a ring of haoles. The con
tainers in each instance were the same
as those sold in the United States, but
the stuff inside, instead of being the
drug so highly prized by the Chinese,
has in each case turned out to be a
mixture of molassess and poi. Since
taro became scarce, molasses alone has
been used. The puzzle of the thing to
the police has been that the tins have
everv time been properly stamped. It
was not believed that the revenue
stamps could be secured from the
United States and it is now know that
the necessary gummed labels were
made in Honolulu. The counterfeits
were iust about perfect. Three colors
are used on these stamps, and in the
Hawaiian made mark, every color and
detail appears correct. It Is doubtful if
such an offense could be punished by
statute, but the Marshal ihas naturally
been anxious to break up the ring of
-swindlers. One of two of the men are
watched pretty closely by the police
and one, after serving time in Oahu
prison on conviction of burglary, has
gone out of the jurisdiction of the Ha
waiian Courts to reside.
THISTLE EDITION.
A New Set of Complete Works
of Stevenson.
The Scottish Thistle Club of this city
has just received from the publishers,
Harper & Bros., the firsi complete
Thistle Edition of the works of the late
Robert Louis Stevenson. There are 21
volumes in the set.
itooert i.ou:s fcrevenson was an
honorary chieftain of the Scottish
Thistle Club and took a keen interest
in the affairs of the organization. Dur
ing one stay in Hawaii he was often
in the club quarters and upon two oc
casions at least, addressed the mem
bers and guests. Of course he was
charming fascinating. Mr. Stevenson
seemed really proud of the badge of
the club the insignia of the local or
der of the Thistle. He was never with
out the pin and it is known that he
wished the badge buried with him and
that this was done. It is more than
likely that the great writer had in his
mind the Thistle club when he had the
emblem of the scoiety placed on some
of his later books and that this taew
choice set is called the Thistle edition
is a circumstance peculiarly gratifying
to the Scotsmen of Honolulu.
Zealandia Departure.
The Zealandia sailed for San Fran
cisco promptly at noon yesterday.
There was more than the usual gath
ering on account of the large number
of passengers who left. The band was
present as usual and played a fare
well concert. As the large gangway
was about to be lowered, Mrs. W. Wag
ener started down. "When she had ar
rived about midway, the rope slipped
out of the hands of the sailors and the
gangway went down with a crash. Mrs.
Wagener fell as soon as she struck the
ground and had to be assisted in walk
ing. She is very much lamed by the
accident. Had the thing happened a
few second before, several must surely
have been hurt, for at that time there
was a crowd on the gangway.
BOCK BEER
Is a treat indeed. That's delicious
beer for yen. As delightful as anv one
will ask for. Brewed in the early fall,
of carefully selected hops and malt.
Of mature age and double strength.
Have you tried it at the Criterion
saloon? It's just the right tempera
ture.
GIVE YOURSELF WEIGHT.
Don't give yourself away by accent
ing any of the inferior brands of beer.
Be onto yourself and insist on getting
"Rainier" and you wi'.l be looked upon
as being intelligent and up-to-date,
especially if you patronize the Favor-
te Saloon.
TV. M. Cunningham, Proprieor of
this well-known resort, has been In
the business for many years, and is a
connoisseur In liquors. His establish
ment is always orderly, and, with the
services of his assistant, Mr. Thomp
son, customers are promptly supplied.
Had Opium.
Awana was arrested Monday fore
noon on the charge of unlawuful pos
session of opium. Kaapa was in the
Tong Hing Society building looking up
a case when in popped Awana. He car
ried a large bundle in his hand and
whe"n confronted by the officer of the
law, dropped it upon the floor. A search
was made at once and in the bundle
was found a lot of "insee," amounting
in all to about $10 worth. Awana was
fined $50 and costs in the Police Court
yesterday.
"A word to the wise is sufficient" and
a word from the wise should be suffl
cient, but you ask, who are the wise?
Those who know. The oft repeated ex
perience of trustworthy persons may
be taken for knowledge, Mr. "W. M.
Terry says Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy gives better satisfaction than any
other In the market. He has been in
the drug business at Elkton, Ky., for
12 years; has sold hundreds of bottles of
this remedy and nearly all other cough
medicines manufactured, which shows
conclusively that Chamberlain's is the
most satisfactory to the people, and is
the best. For sale by all druggists and
dealers. Benson, Smith & Company,

One
Tells
Another.
And so the news spreads and spreads.
Housekeepers all around are talking of
the fine quality of goods bought at our
Grocery Department. As the news
spreads, so our groceries spread all
over the city, from Waikiki to Palama;
from the wharf to 'way up the valley.
There is only one conclusion to be
drawn, and that is: that the quality of
goods must be right not only that,
but the prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in the right
condition.
Everyone knows of the American
Biscuit Company and the class of goods
they make. The following are a few
of the many styles of crackers that
we carry: Graham Water, Honey, 'op-
ular, Oyster, Cheese, Noah's Ark Ani
mals (for the little ones), Pretzels,
Butter, Showflake, Milk, Wine, Water,
Gluten Wafer, Ginger Cakes, Ginger
Nuts, Nic Nacs, Saloon Pilot, and Pilot
Bread.

SUGAR.
This is one of the few things that
does not require much mention. Suffice
it to say that we have an ample supply
of Dry Granulated, Cube, Powdered,
and Confectioners'.

CANNED FRUITS.
In buying these goods you cannot
be too careful; many people have ex
perienced rather disastrous results from
buying cheap trash, put up in tin. We
can vouch for the brands we carry. In
the Cooking Fruits, we have a full as-
ortment in gallon cans. Very econo
mical when a larger amount is requir
ed. The Table Fruits have the best
known brands in the market, put up
in two and a half pound tins, and a
smaller size known as the lunch tins
for campers and picnicers.
