September 17, 1S94. If we remember correctly the “Charleston” wae the first of tbe “White Squadron ’ to vi3it Honoluln. Her arrival on*her second crnise is still in the minds of people who were here on January 29. 1891. When with flags at half-mast and yards cock-bnilt she entered port with \he body of King Ka'akana, the kind teotions shown by the officers to the King dnrir.g tha voyage to the United States and the, al- 1 most sacre<l manner in whieh the body was gnarded while being borne to the Islands, endeared the “Charleston” to the people of Hawaii. As mueh as it was in the power of the people, tlieir appreciation was shown to the officers dnring their stay and when sailed they left graven on | tablets of love and memory, evidences of their Aloha for Hawao. Few, if any. of the officers who were here then are on the vessel now: some have reacbed the age of retirement and others have gone to other vessels but the Charleston is still green in the heart of the Hawaiiana. Have you ever used a Pansy Stove? We have lbeen selling them for four or five years and to day they wear the “Yellow Coat” in the erapire of stoves. They are recognized by every oue, even dealers in other stoves, as a superior article and one whieh they do not care to run up against. 0f conrse stoves may be bought frora people who are not dealers. We have people running here every day or two for fire bricks and parts belonging to stoves they have bought from other parties, and when they find they cannot get them they discard their stoves and buy a “Pansy.” You see there is a disadvantago in buying dear things at low pnoes. Come to us and get a Pansy at $15 00 and you get full value for your money. You don’t get a $75.00 range for fifteen dollars, mind you, but you get a first clasa stove that is worth Thirty dollara to any one Our Ready Mited Paints are suxted to the wants of people who have a little painting they want to do themselves. The advantage in buying a prepared paint is that you have the benefit of the best miiers in the United States without having to pay for it. The paint is ready for nse directly you take the top off the ean and if yon don’t find it eheaper and 4>etter than any you ean mix yourself we are mistaken in I °ur experience- In Califoruia the painters are nsing the ptepared article in preferenee to bnying lead and oils beoause they find i to their advantage to do so. We believe it is only a question of time when the painters here will fall into line. Hanging lamps are in as great demand now as ever. People seem to want something for lighting purposes that will give as good lrght as the snn—they find 1 it in the lamps we are giving away. Our eheap stand lamps are an eicellent thing for a servants foom and will find a ready aale in the Island stores. We ean snpply any demand. for a single lamp or for a thonsand. Theres Iots of Hawaiians whoee Knleanaa need fencing and we have the wire with whieh to do it. We havealso the material for building a fence that will last nntil long after the millenium. Instead of p«ying a high prioe for posts. oreven getting them for tte cnttxng. yonr fence wiil cost yon leas m?nev if yon bny steel stāys and washers and make a Jonea Locked fence. We hire everylhing you want in the bardware and boose furn:sbing goods line you wish. And we court inves(igation aa to tbeir qoality and pnoea. ne Eawaiia Harim ei 807 Fort BbMi
