Septimber 17,1894. If we remember eorrectly the “CharIeston” was the first of the ‘•White Sqaadron ’ to visit Honolula. Her arr|ral on her seoond cruise is still in the minda of j people who were here oa January 39. 1891. When with flags at half-mast and y\rds cock-built she entered port with the body | of King Kalakana,' the kind attentions shown by the officers to the King during the voyage to the United States and the, almost sacred manner in whieh the body was guarded while being borne to the Islands, Mideared the “Cbarleston” to the people of Hawaii. As mueh as it was in the power of the people,itheir appreciation was sbown tok the officers during their stay\and when sailed they left graven.on tablets of love and raemory, dridences of their Aloha for HaV wa.i. Few, if any, of the who were heie then are on the vessel now; some have reached the age of retirement and others have gone to other vessels but the Charleston is still grean in the beart of the Hawaiians. Have you ever used a Pansy Stove? We have lbeen selling them for foor or five years and to-day they wear the “Yellow Coat” in the empire of stoves. They are recognized by every oue, even dealers in other stoves, as a superior article āud one whieh they do not care to run up against. Of course stoves may be bought from people who are uot dealers. We have people running hero every day or t\vo for fire bricks and parts belonging to stoves they have bought from other parties, and wheu thoy find they cannot get them they discard their stoves and buy a “Pansy.” You see there is a disadvantage in buying dear things at low pnces. Come to us and get a Pansy al»$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 class stove that is worth Thirty dol!ars to any one Our Ready Mited Paints are suited to the wants of people who have a little painting they want to do themselves. The advantage in buying a prepared paint is tbat you have the benefit of tbe best mixors in the United States withont having to pay for it. The paint is ready for use directly you take the top off the ean and if you don’t find it eheaper*and better than any you ean mix yourself we are mistaken in our experience’ In California the painters are using the prepared article in preference to buying lead and oils because they fin d 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 light as the sun—they find it in the lamps we are giving away. Onr eheap stand Iamps are an excellent thing for a servants room and will find a readv sale in the Island stores. We ean snpply any demand. for a single lamp or for a thousand. There s lots of Hawaiians whose Knleanaa need fencing and we have the wire with whieh to do it. We have &lso the ma—terial for buiiding a lenee that will Iast uniil long alter tho millenium. Instead of paying a high prioe for posts, oreven getting them for the cutting. your fenoe will cost yon less money if yon bay steel stays and washers and maie a Jones Locked fence. We have everything yon want in the hardware and hooae fnrnishing goods line you wiah. And we coort investigation as to their qnality andj prioea. Tte Bnda Hjrtnre ct ;
