V-- 'O - " " I as little expected to get a suit and top coat ready to wearl;to fit me so perfectly at these moderate prices, as tohear of a night watch man dying in the daytime," facetiously remarked a prominent professional man in our store, yesterday, who had just bought a Fifteen Dollar fancy worsted suit and a line 'Vi cuna silk-lined Spring overcoat bearing this famous label, jJlST" There are thousands of men in this city just as fastidious as this gentleman is whom we can con vince just as readily if they will but come to our store and give us an opportunity.

Remains Over for G. A. R. Com- j 1 rades Memorial Dry Invita- j tions Going Out Bennington. Rev. J. A. Cruzan yesterday came to j the conclusion that the United States could spare him for a week or so be yond the period allotted for his visit to Hawaii. This being decided, the popular preacher will be the Memorial Day orator and will be heard in the pulpit here again next Sunday. It is chiefly upon, the coaxing of G. A. R. comrades that Rev. Mr. Cruzan re mains. The Memorial Day program has been outlined by the Geo. W. de Long Post, G. A. It.; and is well in hand. It will be along the old lines. The day is Monday next, the 30th. On Sunday, the religious services will be held at the First Methodist Episcopal Church in the evening. On the next day there will the procession to Nuuanu ceme tery, the decoration of graves in the G. A. R. plot and elsewhere, the music, saluting and the oration. Geo. W. de Long Post is now send ing out the invitations for the exer cises on the 30th. Concerning the church services there will be a notice published. The G. A. R. Post invites the U. S. Gunboat Bennington officers, an escort from the vessel in war paint and an escort from the National Guard of Hawaii. The communications go respectively to Capt. Nichols, U. S. N. and Col. Fisher, N. G. H. It is be lieved that the Bennington, if still in port, will send a strong battalion for the march up the valley from Har mony hall on King street. It has been the custom in the past for all of the National Guard to parade as an escort for the veterans. Just how many com panies wrill be sent this time cannot be determined upon till about the day for turning out. Chas. H. Eldredge, who so many times has been grand marshal on Me morial Day, will be missed this time. His body lias gone to the grave and his soul to the last bivouac. Memorial Day is observed here with more feel ing than in most towns in the United States. Over there it is an occasion for big athletic events. Here the day is given over entirely to such ceremo nies as its founders had in mind as proper and appropriate. Pasadena's Part. Byron O. Clark, the Mesicks, Chas. Pleasants, Jas. D. Girvin and others from San Diego and Pasadena are in line for a special welcome to the com panies of trrops of the American ex pedition that will especially represent the towns of San Diego and Pasadena. A badge in red and blue, with key and crown emblems has been prepar ed. The key has its story to all and to people from Pasadena the crown has a particular meaning. One man form erly of Pasadena is on the sick list. This is Chas. B. Gray, of the Union Feed Company. He has been down for ten days with a low fever and is likely to be 'in the house for a week yet. The Subscription List. J. B. Atherton, chairman of the Fi nance Committee of the Big 100, has Jeft the subscription list with the Hobron Drug Company. It will be there and open till after the arrival of the S. S. Mariposa, expected tomor row. It is the wish of the Finance Committee that every citizen interest ed in the entertainment of the "Boys in Blue" make some contribution to the general fund. So far the expendi tures have been very light. It may also be said that men of means have been extremely liberal. It is consid ered proper, however, that all citizens show their good will and interest by placing their names on the subscrip tion list for some amount. Parliamentary Point. Vice-Speaker Kaai has a habit of not recognizing the various members of the House when they rise to the floor to speak on various matters. This has been the cause of some very loud call ing of "Mr. Speaker" in the House and the very much used remark: "He must be deaf." When Speaker Kaulu kou was away on leave during his first siege of illness, one of the mem bers of the House came very near in troducing a resolution to the effect that Vice-Speaker Kaai be required to recognize the various members. .More I'sefnl. Under the item of Commissioner of Agriculture, Rep. Paris had a few words to say about what he thought that officer should do. Minister Cooper answered: "We propose to make a more useful man of the Commissioner than he has been before." At this there were enthusiastic "kokuas" from all the members in the House. THE YACHTS. Repairs and Improvents, With Cruising Proposed. The big yachts here are all getting ready for the summer season, when the Saturdays and Sundays are spent cruising about outside from Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor. Mr. Johnson's yacht, that of Mr. Dow and the Pokii were all out on Sunday and the repairs and improvements they have under gone showed to good advantage. It might be said of Mr. Dow's yacht th:it there has been an increase in the lead keel and that the old spars and sails have been replaced by the owner. This gives her greater speed than before and makes her more easily managed. The yacht Hawaii has been cleaned and has been painted both jnside and out. A cruise will soon be taken to Pearl Harbor. ' The Helene, W. G. Irwin's yacht, is being repaired and put in order under the direction of Fred Whitney of the firm of W G. Irwin & Co. She will be put in first class order and will then be able to hold her own with the vrv best. There is talk of a run to Pearl Har bor very soon, of several of the yachts that are now being fixed up for the summer season. A Good Tiling. One always wants the best of every thing that can be procured for the money and W. C. Peacock & Co. say there is only one best, and that's "THE OLD GOVERNMENT" WHISKY for it is unexcelled made after a cele brated old fashioned formula from carefully selected grain. The purity and age of The Old Government Whisky are guaranteed by the United States Government and the Agents, Messrs. W. C. Peacock & Co., Limited, Honolulu, guarantee the quality un excelled. The boys at "Central" state that they were never kept so busy answer ing calls in all their lives as they were yesterday morning when the steamer whistle blew announcing the sighting of the Argyle. People were awakened from sound sleep with one idea "Boys in Blue." Jurors in Judge Perry's Court ex pressed the belief yesterday that they should be excused from night service. His Honor agreed with this view. The Power of Schilling'' s Best baking puwder is wonderful. 638 PHOTOGRAPHIC CO. A photograph is a page in history.
