Feb. 23 The Pacific Mall steamship City of Rio :ie Janeiro went down yesterday morning at the Golden Gate and one hundred and twenty-tw- o human lives and a king's ransom in treasure were doath's harvest of horror for the day. Within the harbor which should have meant security after a voyage oj storm and distress, human beings struggled and fought for their 'lives jiot against the elements, for the bcv was as calm as a sea of glass ana the winds were stilled, but against the deaia damage that the rocks had dono. Wrapped in ji shroud of fog. with- in hearing and it seemed almost within a stone's throw of the city, those human creaturos met death in It most awe inspiring dread form The accident iu every phase was with- out parallel in marine disasters on this coast Other ships had sunk nt son In the midst of frightful storms. Othors had foundered because of their own Incapacity to struggle against Mie dements, but the City of Rio de Jan- eiro, after n journey of thousands of miles, through storm and violent weather, struck upon the rocks and went down In its home port Death Swift and Sure. It was all over In ten minutes. In ten minutes after the Rio Janeiro struck on Fort Point reef, in sight of land, had the mushy fog permitted, she had filled, settled and sunk and more than half her passengers and crew remain unaccounted for in the talo of the dead and living. In the dark hour that comes before the dawn sleeping men and women were rudoly. violently summoned to meet thoir Maker on the instant and with- out warning. The women were calm. It may bo they did not realize the imminence of the danger, or it may be that in mo- ments of strong emotion women hayo more control of themselves than men; but It is true that not until the final moment, when the ship broke her back and sank with a roar of escap- ing steam, wore the voices of women nud children raised In lamentation or fright. Some were drowned sleeping In thair beds, many were carried under in the devouring suction of the whirl- pool and never rose again, and many drifting about in the black and blind ing fog went down from exhaustion In the waters before help came. It Is told how men iu the boats could hoar the screams of swimmers in their agony, but could not reach them before they sank forever, drowned in the dark like a rat in a hole. Most Unequal Struggle. It was save yourselves who can on an ebb tide running out to sea like a mill race and this may serve to ac- count for the fact that only three or four women are among the survlvo.-s- . Out of a total of 231 souls on board 119 are reported drowned and 115 saved, so far as can be ascertained. The children all perished. Many were carried out to sea float- ing on spars and wreckage, or rafts, and were never heard of again. The incoming ship Harbinger, which pass- ed the night anchored In the fog near the Rio. picked up a raft many mllss out to sea on which were Dr. Arthur O'Neill and oight Chinese. It was pure luck that threw them across the path of the ship. The Government fugs Sternberg and Slocum went out In search of other drifting rafts 'reported to have gone out with the tide, but they found no- thing. gRWiiG lESgRTOH - OF A NlfilT OF lOMN On the steamer Captain Ward and Pilot Jordan had retired the night be- fore with the vessel safely at anchor on the bar. leaving Chief Officer J. C Johnson on the bridge, with instruc-tlon- s to call them directly the weather cleared. They were called at o'clock and immediately tumbled oat and Captain Warn ordered the anchor raised. In half an hour the ship was under way, with the Captain, pilot, chief officer and two quartermasters on the bridge. The master and the pilot congratulated enck other on the sadden lifting of the fog and ok -- the prospect of an early arrival In port. The steamer was ia the middle channel and Pilot Jordan got a good bearing on Point Boalta aad set fete course. Then it was that the heavy fog came down upon them as suddesly ss itj had lifted as kor before. The steamer was slowed down aad the Captain and pilot cossalted as to whether they sfcottkl proceed. A awa-be- r of the passengers, awakened by the hauling la f the anchor, had dressed and gone on .deck, and they were all quite pleased at the prospect of an early arrival in port. The Conference on the Bridge. The consultation between master and pilot was of short duration, both being agreed that the run Into the harbor could be made without danger. Captain Ward forgot that the strict Orders of the company were to avo.d ust what he purposed doing. He 00k his last chance. Pilot Jordan picked up the Point Bonita whistle, and just as it was on his beam he got the whistle from Lime Point on his port bow. Thus far his course was all right It seemed as If the chance they had taken was not so great, after all. In the winter time the freshets which the rivers send down to the bay form a swift current that sets 'n across the Golden Gate from Lime Point to Mile rock, about a mile and a half beyond the old fort on the south side of the gate The Rio's course lay across this rapid current Captain Jordan knew that; so did Captain Ward. According to the story of the pilot there was no no- ticeable deflection of the steamer from her course; but that chance had been taken, and it was a fatal chance. The Rio on the Reef. Suddenly, and without the slightest warning, the Rio struck on the rocks of Fort Point reef. There was a. quiCK snocK wnicn maue ine oig steamer shiver from stem to stern as if in the chill of a 'great horror. Then shock followed shock, crash on crash. There was the sound of crunching timbers and of rapping iron and steel. The captain and the pilot felt that the steamer had received her death blow. Captain Ward did not lose his pres- ence of mind. He at once rushed down from the bridge, his face deathly white, but his voice clear. To the car- penter he cried: "Sound the forward bilge!" "Twelve feet of water forward!" re- ported the carpenter, not more than a minute later. "See what it is amidships!" ordered Ward, with forced calmness. The sounding of the amldship bilge told the same story. It was full, and the captain realized that most of the vessel's bottom was gone. "Every man to his station!" he cried. "Lower the boats!" Awakenlrfg the Passengers. Then, accompanied by his chief off- icer, the brave captain rushed below to arouse the passengers. He kicked and banged at the doors and shouted to every one to get on deck as soon as possible, and remained below till ev- ery cabin passenger had turned out and preceded him to the deck. Meanwhile the Captain's orders were being carried out above. Dr. Arthur O'Neill, the ship's surgeon, in expectation of being called early to go over the muster of passengers and crew with the quarantine officer, had retired partly dressed. It did not take him more than a few minutes to slip on his trousers and coat and take his station at his boat, which was the first to be launched. The discipline among the officers, everybody agrees, was splendid. But there was a fight to control the Chinese. The crew was. for the most part, composed of Asiatics, and there were fifty-thre- e Chinese In the steerage. The frightened yellow men swarmed up from below like rats and made a wild charge for the boats. This charge was combated by the white officers cf the vesseL With threats and assur- ances that there was no immediate danger tne stampeding Chinese were held in check. And the officers were sincere as to the danger. No one on board dreamed that the end was so near. Lowering the Life Boats. Dr. O'Neill's boat was shoved over the side with himself and nine Chinese in it The boat got foul In the falls and the forward part of it ducked tin- der water and was soon half filled. The ropes had to be cut to save the boat and the craft drifted away from the steamer's side. Captain Ward cried to the doctor to return to the ship, but the tide swept him out to sea. Another boat In charge of Third late Holland and Chief Engineer Her-- lthyt was launched and filled with pas- sengers; and-- a third, in charge d Mate Coghlan. got away A fourth boat was in the water with several passengers ia it by which time the steamer was well down by-ta- e head and rolling badhv Into the foftrth Jtoat it was Intended to place Consul-Genera- l Wiklman and his family. Captain Ward leaned over the rail and cried dowa to the men to ball the little craft ot Sirs. Wlldiaan stood on the gangplank and Captain Jordan was close behind her with her little boy.

The Fortunate Ones Who Booked But Did Not Take Passage There Is Balm -- In Gilead Living Man Mourned. Honolulu, isolated though it is from the encircling world, has always been sensitive to that touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. When in- telligence from without comes to our shores, at comparatively long inter- vals, whether weighted unusually with either joy or sorrow this community is quick to assume the appropriate tone of sympathy. This is the case even when the tidings have no tangible bearing upon Hawaiian insular con- cerns. Of few communities it any can it be more truthful avered that their people rejoice with those that do re- joice and weep with those that weep. A very recent instance is that of the news of the death of Queen ictoria. It has boen claimed by persons of wide acquaintance with communities abroad that probably nowhere out side of British Empire were there more impressive aemonsiraiions 01 public sympathy with the bereaved nation than in the Hawaiian Islands. The same social phenomenon has an illustration even where local senti- ment is divided as in 'following the course of the prolonged agony In South Africa. Is it needed, again, to cite the- - cases of practical sympathy with human woes far from sight and active influence shown in handsome popular contributions to such funds as those for famine' sufferers In India, flood sufferers in Galveston and others similar? Having the foregoing estimate ot this community in mind- - it would not be the wonderful mat appeared when Honolulu exhibited an aspect of woe in every face ot its Inhabitants upon hearing that an awful catastrophe, like J. the sinking of the Rio de Janeiro, had occurred within the gates of the near- est port of Hawaii's mother country yea, the port with which these isl- ands have always had the greater part of its commerce both of living hu- manity and the necessaries and lux- uries of human existence. When the vessel that carries many lives down to extinction, amidst the swirling of the deep waters occasioned by its own violent dissolution, nas oeen for years a regular visitor to our port bearing our people and their woruldly goods between here and the outer world on every call at this port, the local sympathy with the gloomy tale of dis- aster is deepened. Threefoiu. however, becomes the bond of affinitv with the calamitous event when, added to the circumstances already detaued, tly: knowledge exists that the parting of the wafers to let the Rio de Janeiro down to the ocean oeu was the sever- ing for all time of the dearest earthly ties between many persons in the ship and manj- - persons in this midocean city. Yet there is balm in Gilead. More than one consoling fact enters into the event, to infuse an element of pro- found gratitude into the profundity of the public grief. It is a great mercy. berore any other thought, that, with no external aid for the first terrible hour or two. more than fourscore lives 'should have been saved out ot the appalling situation. And, what comes home to us here, is tuat certain com- paratively slight contingencies pre- vented many of our friends and neigh- bors from taking passage In the Kio upon her last sad voyage. Indeed, one instance is given below of a man whose sister is mournfne for him over there for lying aCthe bottom of the deep but who is blessed with life here in Honolulu today. Some Departed Friends. W. A. Henshall was one of the most capable lawyers of Honolulu for about six years. Four years ago he married one of Honolulu's fairest and most re- fined daughters, who was Miss Helen G. Afong. and it was manifestly a hap- py union to the end. air. Henshall was a, genial man and a square one. None knew him bnt who affectionately de- plores his end. Sad to say his life went out In sight of the shore where a meeting with his aged father, the first one in seven years, was mutually an- ticipated with intense gladness. Mr. Henshall was born at Leeds, England, March 25, 1870. Besiaes wife and child here and father in San Francis- co, he leaves two married sisters la- the latter city and four brothers. On of these is George F. Henshall, a mem-i-" oer 01 tne .Hawaiian Star news staff. Harry F. Seymour, one ot Ihe 'cabin passengers on the Rio de Janeiro and among those drowned, had a wide circle of friends in this city. Mr. Seyasosr was a resident of Honolulu two years ago. He was here In the interests of a theatrical syndicate. Upon 4he occasion of the last visit of the Rio to this port, Mr. Seymoar ssest tie entire period In Si- newing former acanaintaaces. As the proprietor ,of " the Manila American. an English dally in the Paillpptaes, Mr Seymosr was girea a warm wel- come by the,- - newspaper fraternity In th'3 city. He had made arraagomonts prevlonsr to leaTfaV here, to secare a company foe the Orpkenaj, Charles who is nwatlon-e- d else where." was TOrac mas of I pleasant ways? He heW clerical ikm- - tiozs In real estate and newspaper oEces here. Latterly he had come into independent means bnt was not spoiled thereby. Miss Rowena Jehu had desk room in the Judd block as a stenographer and had the patronage of large con- cerns. She was very higu.y esteem- ed by all who knew her. Becoming afillcted with insomnia she went in the Rio to spend a vacation with her mother, brothers and sisters In San Francisco. Her sister Jennie is a soprano singer with the Bostonians. Miss Jehu herself was a talented sing- er. She was 25 years of age and a native of California. A. W. Dodd was a brother of the new Honolulc dentist He was an old friend of F. M. Brooks the lawyer. Mrs. S. B. Wakefield was a promi- nent San F'rancisco lady who had be?n visiting the Athertons and other friends in the Islands. Yeong Yong, a Chinese student, left here to enter college. He has a brother a salesman in H. Hackfeld & Company. A. Gussont was connected with the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Com- pany and was on leave ot absence. j .C Johnson, who is supposed to have boarded the steamer in the chan- nel, is well known in the city. He was an Inspector during the plague visitation of 1900. Then there were Captain Ward tac? other officers who counted hosts of HonoluiU friends. Rounseville Wildman. the United States Consul-Gener- at Hongkong, who lost his life on the 22nd ot last month, it will be remembered, was interviewed by a representative of The Republican on the 12th of Febru- ary. Mr. Wiiaman was appointed by President McKinley to a post which, shortlv after he accepted it. became one of the most Important diplomatic stations under the controlof our gov- ernment owing to the complications that arose out ot the Philippine prob- lem. Untir the commission was ap- pointed for the islands by President McKinley he was the source of author- ity concerning American affairs In Asia. His studious habits, wonderful ability to read men and. above all. his marvelous executive ability made him an ideal man for the place. Dur- ing his brief sojourn In Honolulu Mr. Wildman granted a most interesting "purview to The Republican. In which he discussed all the leading nuestions In the Far East It was he who first conceived the Idea of banishing the rebel leaders of the """Mlinlnos to the isle of Guam. Mr. """Hrtman was at on time the editor of the Overland Monthly. He was also an author of considerable repute. Saved Ones. Among the steerage passengers from Honolulu saved were Miss Frances Ripley of San Francisco, R. W. Long, William. Caspar and Philip Nussenblatt. it Mnrinnsji'fi clear naina. The following within few days taken inu would receipt laic uuuiu.-- u ship. Among these are mentioned Robert Lewers and family and Edwij Paris. Among those reported as missing by the San Francisco papers, Is Wil- liam McFee of this city. The gentle- man is still here, alive and well. It seems that he wrote to his sister stating that he would come home in the Rio. She, expecting him and not that because of a slight ill- ness, he had determined to stay here for a few weeks, naturally supposed him to be dead, and handed his name in at the Coroner's office. Mr. Mc- Fee has concluded to remain in Hono- lulu Indefinitely. Li READY TO BE SACRIFICED. Hung Chang Thinks Settlement Cannot be Arrived at SHANGHAI, Feb. 23. The latest edict of the Chinese court expresses the desire that Chi-hsie- n and Fsu Chong Yu. now in the hands of the powers, be handed over for immediate execution. Native newspapers assert LI Hung Chang has telegraphed the negotiations at a deadlock and he has memorialized the throne admitting his inability to arrive at a settlement and offering himself for punishment in accordance with Chi- nese custom. The Emperor has. sent to Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang the draft of the proposed future court etiquette for the approval of the ministers of the powers. Kindness of Company.

In the Senate today, Mr. Morgan in a speech demanding that the Nicaraguan canal bill should be made the regular order ot the Senate, said that every parlia- mentary strategy was being used to defeat the bilL He thought it time for plain talk, while some of our people in authority were being kicked and cuffed about by King Edward VII; al- so that it is time for some attention to be given to this purely American enterprise. Mr. Spooner took occasion to show why. in his opinion, the Nicaragra canal bill .should not pass at this time. He referred to the treaty which had been adopted to clear the pathway for the canal. That trea- ty now was being considered by Great Britain and we could not pass the canal bill without giving great offense to Great Britain. If we saouhlpass the, canal bill Great Britain wouM no doubt reject the treaty-Preside- nt pro tera Frye ruled that the Nicaragua canal bill and not the oleomargarine bill was the regular order of unfinished business. The bill was displaced by the fortifications ap- propriation bill which was taken up without a roll-cal- l. Previous to this action. Mr. Morgan asked that the Ni- caragua canal bill be temporarily laid aside, to which Mr. Aldrich objected. Conger Wants to Return. DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 23. An- other cable message has beea received from Minister Conger, in which he ex- plains that his wife and daughter and niece, Miss Pierce, are in such a ner- vous condition that he fears to have them remain longer ia Peking.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 23 ThePacific Mall steamship City of Rio :ie

Janeiro went down yesterday morning

at the Golden Gate and one hundredand twenty-tw- o human lives and aking's ransom in treasure weredoath's harvest of horror for the day.Within the harbor which should havemeant security after a voyage oj

storm and distress, human beingsstruggled and fought for their 'livesjiot against the elements, for the bcv

was as calm as a sea of glass anathe winds were stilled, but againstthe deaia damage that the rocks haddono.

Wrapped in ji shroud of fog. with-

in hearing and it seemed almostwithin a stone's throw of the city,those human creaturos met death inIt most awe inspiring dread formThe accident iu every phase was with-out parallel in marine disasters onthis coast Other ships had sunk ntson In the midst of frightful storms.Othors had foundered because of theirown Incapacity to struggle against Miedements, but the City of Rio de Jan-eiro, after n journey of thousands ofmiles, through storm and violentweather, struck upon the rocks andwent down In its home port

Death Swift and Sure.It was all over In ten minutes.

In ten minutes after the Rio Janeirostruck on Fort Point reef, in sight ofland, had the mushy fog permitted,she had filled, settled and sunk andmore than half her passengers andcrew remain unaccounted for in thetalo of the dead and living. In thedark hour that comes before thedawn sleeping men and women wererudoly. violently summoned to meetthoir Maker on the instant and with-out warning.

The women were calm. It may bothey did not realize the imminence ofthe danger, or it may be that in mo-

ments of strong emotion women hayomore control of themselves than men;but It is true that not until the finalmoment, when the ship broke herback and sank with a roar of escap-ing steam, wore the voices of womennud children raised In lamentation orfright.

Some were drowned sleeping Inthair beds, many were carried underin the devouring suction of the whirl-pool and never rose again, and manydrifting about in the black and blinding fog went down from exhaustionIn the waters before help came. ItIs told how men iu the boats couldhoar the screams of swimmers intheir agony, but could not reach thembefore they sank forever, drowned inthe dark like a rat in a hole.

Most Unequal Struggle.It was save yourselves who can on

an ebb tide running out to sea like amill race and this may serve to ac-

count for the fact that only three orfour women are among the survlvo.-s-.

Out of a total of 231 souls on board119 are reported drowned and 115saved, so far as can be ascertained.The children all perished.

Many were carried out to sea float-ing on spars and wreckage, or rafts,and were never heard of again. Theincoming ship Harbinger, which pass-ed the night anchored In the fog nearthe Rio. picked up a raft many mllssout to sea on which were Dr. ArthurO'Neill and oight Chinese. It was pureluck that threw them across the pathof the ship.

The Government fugs Sternberg andSlocum went out In search of otherdrifting rafts 'reported to have goneout with the tide, but they found no-

thing.

- OF A NlfilT OF lOMN

On the steamer Captain Ward andPilot Jordan had retired the night be-

fore with the vessel safely at anchoron the bar. leaving Chief Officer J. CJohnson on the bridge, with instruc-tlon- s

to call them directly the weathercleared. They were called at o'clockand immediately tumbled oat andCaptain Warn ordered the anchorraised. In half an hour the ship wasunder way, with the Captain, pilot,chief officer and two quartermasterson the bridge. The master and thepilot congratulated enck other on thesadden lifting of the fog and ok --theprospect of an early arrival In port.

The steamer was ia the middlechannel and Pilot Jordan got a goodbearing on Point Boalta aad set fete

course.Then it was that the heavy fog

came down upon them as suddesly ssitj had lifted as kor before. Thesteamer was slowed down aad theCaptain and pilot cossalted as towhether they sfcottkl proceed. A awa-be- r

of the passengers, awakened bythe hauling la f the anchor, had

dressed and gone on .deck, and theywere all quite pleased at the prospectof an early arrival in port.

The Conference on the Bridge.The consultation between master

and pilot was of short duration, bothbeing agreed that the run Into theharbor could be made without danger.

Captain Ward forgot that the strictOrders of the company were to avo.dust what he purposed doing. He00k his last chance.

Pilot Jordan picked up the PointBonita whistle, and just as it was onhis beam he got the whistle fromLime Point on his port bow. Thusfar his course was all right It seemedas If the chance they had taken wasnot so great, after all.

In the winter time the freshetswhich the rivers send down to thebay form a swift current that sets 'nacross the Golden Gate from LimePoint to Mile rock, about a mile anda half beyond the old fort on the southside of the gate The Rio's course layacross this rapid current

Captain Jordan knew that; so didCaptain Ward. According to thestory of the pilot there was no no-

ticeable deflection of the steamerfrom her course; but that chancehad been taken, and it was a fatalchance.

The Rio on the Reef.Suddenly, and without the slightest

warning, the Rio struck on the rocksof Fort Point reef. There was a.quiCK snocK wnicn maue ine oigsteamer shiver from stem to stern asif in the chill of a 'great horror. Thenshock followed shock, crash on crash.There was the sound of crunchingtimbers and of rapping iron and steel.The captain and the pilot felt that thesteamer had received her death blow.

Captain Ward did not lose his pres-ence of mind. He at once rushed downfrom the bridge, his face deathlywhite, but his voice clear. To the car-penter he cried:

"Sound the forward bilge!""Twelve feet of water forward!" re-

ported the carpenter, not more than aminute later.

"See what it is amidships!" orderedWard, with forced calmness.

The sounding of the amldship bilgetold the same story. It was full, andthe captain realized that most of thevessel's bottom was gone.

"Every man to his station!" hecried. "Lower the boats!"

Awakenlrfg the Passengers.Then, accompanied by his chief off-

icer, the brave captain rushed below toarouse the passengers. He kicked andbanged at the doors and shouted toevery one to get on deck as soon aspossible, and remained below till ev-

ery cabin passenger had turned outand preceded him to the deck.

Meanwhile the Captain's orderswere being carried out above. Dr.Arthur O'Neill, the ship's surgeon, inexpectation of being called early to goover the muster of passengers andcrew with the quarantine officer, hadretired partly dressed. It did not takehim more than a few minutes to slipon his trousers and coat and take hisstation at his boat, which was the firstto be launched. The discipline amongthe officers, everybody agrees, wassplendid. But there was a fight tocontrol the Chinese.

The crew was. for the most part,composed of Asiatics, and there werefifty-thre- e Chinese In the steerage.The frightened yellow men swarmedup from below like rats and made awild charge for the boats. This chargewas combated by the white officers cfthe vesseL With threats and assur-ances that there was no immediatedanger tne stampeding Chinese wereheld in check. And the officers weresincere as to the danger. No one onboard dreamed that the end was sonear.

Lowering the Life Boats.Dr. O'Neill's boat was shoved over

the side with himself and nine Chinesein it The boat got foul In the fallsand the forward part of it ducked tin-

der water and was soon half filled. Theropes had to be cut to save the boatand the craft drifted away from thesteamer's side. Captain Ward cried tothe doctor to return to the ship, butthe tide swept him out to sea.

Another boat In charge of Thirdlate Holland and Chief Engineer Her--

lthyt was launched and filled with pas-sengers; and-- a third, in charge d

Mate Coghlan. got awayA fourth boat was in the water with

several passengers ia it by whichtime the steamer was well down by-ta- e

The Fortunate Ones Who Booked But

Mourned.

Honolulu, isolated though it is fromthe encircling world, has always beensensitive to that touch of nature thatmakes the whole world kin. When in-

telligence from without comes to ourshores, at comparatively long inter-vals, whether weighted unusually witheither joy or sorrow this community isquick to assume the appropriate toneof sympathy. This is the case evenwhen the tidings have no tangiblebearing upon Hawaiian insular con-cerns. Of few communities it any canit be more truthful avered that theirpeople rejoice with those that do re-

joice and weep with those that weep.A very recent instance is that of thenews of the death of Queen ictoria.It has boen claimed by persons of wideacquaintance with communitiesabroad that probably nowhere outside of British Empire were theremore impressive aemonsiraiions 01public sympathy with the bereavednation than in the Hawaiian Islands.The same social phenomenon has anillustration even where local senti-ment is divided as in 'following thecourse of the prolonged agony InSouth Africa. Is it needed, again, tocite the- - cases of practical sympathywith human woes far from sight andactive influence shown in handsomepopular contributions to such fundsas those for famine' sufferers In India,flood sufferers in Galveston and otherssimilar?

Having the foregoing estimate otthis community in mind- - it would notbe the wonderful mat appeared whenHonolulu exhibited an aspect of woein every face ot its Inhabitants uponhearing that an awful catastrophe, like

J. the sinking of the Rio de Janeiro, hadoccurred within the gates of the near-est port of Hawaii's mother country

yea, the port with which these isl-ands have always had the greaterpart of its commerce both of living hu-manity and the necessaries and lux-uries of human existence. When thevessel that carries many lives downto extinction, amidst the swirling ofthe deep waters occasioned by its ownviolent dissolution, nas oeen for yearsa regular visitor to our port bearingour people and their woruldly goodsbetween here and the outer worldon every call at this port, the localsympathy with the gloomy tale of dis-aster is deepened. Threefoiu. however,becomes the bond of affinitv with thecalamitous event when, added to thecircumstances already detaued, tly:knowledge exists that the parting ofthe wafers to let the Rio de Janeirodown to the ocean oeu was the sever-ing for all time of the dearest earthlyties between many persons in the shipand manj- - persons in this midoceancity.

Yet there is balm in Gilead. Morethan one consoling fact enters into theevent, to infuse an element of pro-found gratitude into the profundity ofthe public grief. It is a great mercy.berore any other thought, that, withno external aid for the first terriblehour or two. more than fourscore lives

'should have been saved out ot theappalling situation. And, what comeshome to us here, is tuat certain com-paratively slight contingencies pre-vented many of our friends and neigh-bors from taking passage In the Kioupon her last sad voyage. Indeed, oneinstance is given below of a manwhose sister is mournfne for himover there for lying aCthe bottom ofthe deep but who is blessed with lifehere in Honolulu today.

Some Departed Friends.W. A. Henshall was one of the most

capable lawyers of Honolulu for aboutsix years. Four years ago he marriedone of Honolulu's fairest and most re-fined daughters, who was Miss HelenG. Afong. and it was manifestly a hap-py union to the end. air. Henshall wasa, genial man and a square one. Noneknew him bnt who affectionately de-plores his end. Sad to say his life wentout In sight of the shore where ameeting with his aged father, the firstone in seven years, was mutually an-ticipated with intense gladness. Mr.Henshall was born at Leeds, England,March 25, 1870. Besiaes wife andchild here and father in San Francis-co, he leaves two married sisters la-the latter city and four brothers. Onof these is George F. Henshall, a mem-i-"oer 01 tne .Hawaiian Star news staff.

Harry F. Seymour, one ot Ihe 'cabinpassengers on the Rio deJaneiro and among those drowned,had a wide circle of friends in thiscity. Mr. Seyasosr was a resident ofHonolulu two years ago. He washere In the interests of a theatricalsyndicate. Upon 4he occasion of thelast visit of the Rio to this port, Mr.Seymoar ssest tie entire period In Si-newing former acanaintaaces. As theproprietor ,of " the Manila American.an English dally in the Paillpptaes,Mr Seymosr was girea a warm wel-come by the,-- newspaper fraternity Inth'3 city. He had made arraagomontsprevlonsr to leaTfaV here, to secare acompany foe the Orpkenaj,

tiozs In real estate and newspaperoEces here. Latterly he had comeinto independent means bnt was notspoiled thereby.

Miss Rowena Jehu had desk roomin the Judd block as a stenographerand had the patronage of large con-cerns. She was very higu.y esteem-ed by all who knew her. Becomingafillcted with insomnia she went inthe Rio to spend a vacation with hermother, brothers and sisters In SanFrancisco. Her sister Jennie is asoprano singer with the Bostonians.Miss Jehu herself was a talented sing-er. She was 25 years of age and anative of California.

A. W. Dodd was a brother of thenew Honolulc dentist He was anold friend of F. M. Brooks the lawyer.

Mrs. S. B. Wakefield was a promi-nent San F'rancisco lady who hadbe?n visiting the Athertons and otherfriends in the Islands.

Yeong Yong, a Chinese student,left here to enter college. He has abrother a salesman in H. Hackfeld& Company.

A. Gussont was connected with theHawaiian Commercial & Sugar Com-pany and was on leave ot absence.

j .C Johnson, who is supposed tohave boarded the steamer in the chan-nel, is well known in the city. Hewas an Inspector during the plaguevisitation of 1900.

Then there were Captain Ward tac?other officers who counted hosts ofHonoluiU friends.

Rounseville Wildman. the UnitedStates Consul-Gener- at Hongkong,who lost his life on the 22nd ot lastmonth, it will be remembered, wasinterviewed by a representative ofThe Republican on the 12th of Febru-ary. Mr. Wiiaman was appointed byPresident McKinley to a post which,shortlv after he accepted it. becameone of the most Important diplomaticstations under the controlof our gov-ernment owing to the complicationsthat arose out ot the Philippine prob-lem. Untir the commission was ap-pointed for the islands by PresidentMcKinley he was the source of author-ity concerning American affairs InAsia. His studious habits, wonderfulability to read men and. above all.his marvelous executive ability madehim an ideal man for the place. Dur-ing his brief sojourn In Honolulu Mr.Wildman granted a most interesting"purview to The Republican. Inwhich he discussed all the leadingnuestions In the Far East It washe who first conceived the Idea ofbanishing the rebel leaders of the"""Mlinlnos to the isle of Guam. Mr."""Hrtman was at on time the editorof the Overland Monthly. He wasalso an author of considerable repute.

Among those reported as missingby the San Francisco papers, Is Wil-liam McFee of this city. The gentle-man is still here, alive and well. Itseems that he wrote to his sisterstating that he would come home inthe Rio. She, expecting him and not

SEXTETTE OF LITTLE ONES

PRESIDENT ELECTROOSEVELT has

children, and their nameswith a "Teddy" and end

Quentin. They are calledTheodore. Ethel, Alice, Kermlt,Archibald and Quentin. Thehome life of the famous Rough

can be. although during the last fouryears the head of the family has beenout of It to a great extent on accountof public duties. Alice is now a younglady. Theodore is 13, Kermlt 11, Ethel

, Archibald 6 ana Quentin just 3.

The children are modest. Theirhome life has been so conducted thatthey have been kept out of the publicaffairs of their distinguished father asmuch as possible- - Mrs. Roosevelt isessentially a home woman. She be-

lieves that as a mainstay of. the Gov-ernor, her first outy Is to protect hishome1? circle and give him a strong,healthy minded set of youngsters,who will at least keep the family nameas bright as the fatner has. The chil-

dren are never taken out on parade,and visitors to the home at Oyster Baysec llltlo of them unless there, is spe-

cial reason for their appearing.An Albany Academy boy who has

young "Teddy" for his classmate whenasked If they were together, said:

"Yes, he does go to our school andbelongs to the battalion, but there Ismighty little to tell about him. Youmight be with him ever so often andnever know from anything that hewould say that he was the uovernor'sson. and if there is anything 'stuck-u- p

about him the boys In the academynever knew it. He is always ready fora scrap, and seems to enjoy that sortof thing. We are sorry that he willleave the school, for he is a nice boy.Just the kind that wears well, and hewould become one of the most popularstudents before he reached the gradu-ating class."

Governor and Mrs. Roosevelt lackthe trait of g. No oneknows this better than those who havebeen long in the Governor's company.The children Sire of the same modesttype. They have a glorious home atOyster Bay, close to the ocean, andthey are led to enjoy every healthvTsinA at sport known to children.

C !.o the world. He thinks that if they uivethese, united to clean minds, that theywill be well prepared to take care ofthemselves.

The children's names have been cu-riously selected. Alice is a familyname. So is Theodore. Kermlt is nam-ed after a Manx ancestor of the Gov-ernor. Archibald gets his name fromthe BuJIochs, who are a part of theRoosevelt family tree. Quentin is nam-ed after a French Hugenot ancestor,and Ethel after the English strain. ofblood in the family. The Vice-Preside- nt

is not Dutch in the true sense ofthe word. He is an admixture of oldHolland, Huguenot, Scotch and Eng-lish that has finally rounded itself outinto the American. The children'snames perpetuate the old ancestralstrains of blood.

The Vice-Preside- nt has never per-mitted his home life to become news-paper property. His home has beenclosed to the prying tattler for sensa-tional sheets. But when In companyof those who respect his wishes hetalks freely of his happy domestic life,and unconsciously reveals how mucha part of his life are the children andMrs. Roosevelt One who knows himwell said of him some time ago: "Mrs.Roosevelt Is really his inspiration. Hedraws his strength from the characterof his home."

City Wipe It Out.

WILEl is doomed. Its sentence hasbeen passed before the bar of pub-

lic opinion. The press, clergy, re-

formers and, finally, society, havearisen against the evil, and theeffort to. free this city from the re-

sult of an antediluvian regulation'seems on the point of success. TheRepublican took up the fight for ftleast the official purity of the Terri-tory and for several weary monthscarried it on in the face of disheart-ening opposition, but now the move-

ment has grown to such an extent thatpopular feeling demands the oblitera-tion of the infamous "joint."

Lectures and exhortations have beendelivered by able evangelists, eloquentsermons have been addressed to thevarious congregations of the city, andstrong editorials and news articleshave appeared in the columns of TheRepublican from time to time withinthe period of this paper's existence.

The associations of Christian char-itable work have taken a strong standfor the suppression of the disgracefulInstitution, and within the past twomonths the members of society havetaken up the work.

Mrs. H. C. Coleman, philanthropist,educator and Christian worker, talkedfreely about Iwilei to a reporter ofThe Republican one day this week.Her remarks were along the lines ofduty taken up by this paper and insubstance were:

"Do the Christian women of thiscity think Iwilei a necessity?

"In making reply to that question Ican say that I have determined formyself that the place is a blot on ourcity, and that in this determinationI have the concurrence of all the wo-

men of this community who have giventhe matter thought. I do not believethat iwilei is a necessity. In point offact I would like to say a few wordson the subject to make my reasonsclear.

"There is no moral reason for theexistence of tne place. It is maintain-ed for immoral purposes. It is main-tained under the implied sanction ofthe law, and in this way its operationis given an apparent legal standingIt is argued that the place acts as asort of safeguard for the women andchildren of this community, and thatduring tne continuous passage of thetroops of the United States throughthis port their 'God-give- n impulsesshould be placed in such a positionthat they will find an outlet in thatway instead of becoming a menace tothe community. The open letter whichappeared in the Star some time ago,addressed to Miss Murcutt, so stated,and although I do not know the'Christian Gentleman' who wrote the '"fletter. I have no doubt that he repre- -

sents some portion of the community. I "For the women of this city who havestudied the subject I can say that ifIwilei does all that is claimed for it,thf women of Honolulu are paying avein-- high price for their protection.But we do not think it has any effectalong the lines laid down by the sup-porters of i.ne evil and we believethat the community reaps nothing inthe way of good from the existenceof the place.

"It has been stated that if theplace was wiped out women andchildren would not be safe on --thestreets, and there would be howlingmobs of men roaming about withrapine In their hearts. .In reply I can

I say with all the confidence I have,that I do not believe that such a con-- jdition could ever obtain in this or anyuim- - cuiumuaiiy. in me nrst piace

i I have a higher opinion of my fellow--imen and in the second T do not be-lieve that the existence of such a

i place would lend the least measure toward the security of women.

"But if the place is a necessity we

could perhaps reduce tke gnt debtare owe the cnfortaaate creatures cfthe Cockade by provkUag them withall of the comforts asd luxuries of Hfe.so that while User are protectlag mstheir lives will be made s. little zaoretolerable.

"It is a high price we are pavingfor, the protection they are said togive us; It costs those who under-stand the question more than th?vwould be willing to pay- - for anythingelse in the world, and I firmly believethat this great payment Is being madewithout any adequate retnrn. Wemight lessen onr debt by bailding pal-aces for them and furnishing the poorcreatures with suitable food and drinkInstead of regarding them, as outcastsand unclean, to treat them with alldeference as the protectors and guard

of the innocence and virtue cf OF ERUPTIONthe women of this city. Hut I woaialike to know what has become of thecivilization of the twentieth century.that the "men have turned Into brutesand the women must purchase immu-nity from their bestiality by sacrificingtheir own respect?

"Suppose that it Is impossible tocope with the social evil; supposethat the vice cannot be stamped cut.Is that any reason why we should giveit legalanction? Is that any reasonwhv wp should allow the existence ofsuch a place within our city? I answer unreservedly, Iso.

"The reason for the social evil mustbe sought in some other directionthan that of its physical necessity asa safeguard for virtue.

"There are undoubtedly many wick-ed people in the world today, and totheir presence can be laid the continu-ance of the crimes of humanity. Theevil lies deep and must be eradicatedby moral education. These expres-sions of the development of wickedness of men (the social evil, etc.) areonly symptoms of the disease fromwhich mankind suffers. They must betreated in the same way as the symp-toms of a bodily disease, and must notbe neglected and allowed to eat intothe heart of the people. But for a curewe must treat the constitutional trou-ble.

"In my opinion, the best way toreaHy accomplish the desired object isto commence at the cradle, and by asystem of careful instruction so im-pregnate the minds of the young thatthey will evolve from the present stateand little by little assume a high"plane cf morals until the sins will notbe the rule and the mo'rals the excep-tion.

"In regard to an immediate andsymptomatic treatment I would sug-gest that mankind will not pay a dis-proportionate price for Its vices. Ifthe gratification of man's low instinctsare made as difficult of accomplish-ment as possible, and If the conse-quences of his acts are rendered per-ilous to his standing in the commurnity and his security from the forceof the law, he will be restrained fromvicious practices to a greater extentthan he even could by the open coun-tenancing of the evil itself.

"I understand that the place is notpatronized by the soldiers and sailorsas much as some people seem to think,and that a very considerable share r.fthe patronage of the place comes froma class of young men who reside inthis city and for whom Ihe alleged Jreasons ior tne existence of the placefume not do pieaaed.

"I believe that something should hedone to rid the citv of the disgrace."

HILO March 1. Although it issome time since we had any rainhere, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea arestill covered with snow, and it is apretty s.ght in the early morning tosee these snow-cappe- d mountains.The air is dejjciously cool and visitorsfrom Honolulu feel the .cold.

Hilo is about to lose one of her bestcitizens, one who has always beenforemost in all sports and in any enterprise for the development of thetown It is due to the energy of JackWilson that Hilo owns such a finorace track as we have here, whilemany other improvements are due tohim. The magnificent house whichMr. Wilson built for himself in River-side Park nas been purchased by W.H. Shipman who will shortly moveinto it.

Washington's birthday was recog-nized here as usual. The banks andmost of the business houses closedfor half the day. In the evening asubscription ball was given at theHilo hotel, which was very largelyattended. This was the first functionor entertainment got up by the newmanager, Mr. Cardr and it was a greatsuccess. During the short time thatMr. Card has had charge of the hotelhe has made many improvements,and is consequently getting a muchlarger patronage than his predeces-sor.

J. ,G.

SAN. FRANCISCO REARS THE

STORY OF SURVIVORS

The first news of the disaster reach-es, the Merchants -- xchange through atelephone message from JL J. Fitzgerald, marine reporter or tne jxenangeat Melggs wharf. Fitzgerald wasstanding on the edge of ihe wharf,peering out into the fog for some traceof the overdue China steamer, when,at 7:40 o'clock, he was startled to seea Boatload of thinly clad people approaching the dock. In a moment thename of the steamer was discernibleon the lifeboat, and the awful truthdawned upon Fitzgerald that the Riohad been wrecked. The tiaings wasflashed up town, and soon the wholecity knew that the big Pacific Mailliner had gone to the bottom withscores upon scores of human beings.

The telephone offices were swamp-ed with calls as anxious relatives andfriends endeavored to get some knowledge of the fate of their loved ones.This Information becoming inadequate.the streets were filled with throngswho hurried to Melggs' wharf and other points where it was thought newsmight be obtained.

Thousands flocked to the bluffs overlooking the scene of the wreck, wheretht morbid crowd stood all day longlooking down at the boats in the bay.Other hundreds patrolled the beachfrom Harbor View to Point San Pedro,twelve miles bow the Cliff House,seeking something to gratify their curlosfty.

As the day wore on the terrible de-

tails of the disaster were brought outby the stories of those who survived.

The most peculiar feature of themorning's work was the absence oftho curious and morbid crowd thatusually collects and impedes the efforts of officials whose duties it is torelieve the unfortunate. At about 11o'clock, after the news of the accidenthad been widely circulated throughoutUie dty, vast crowds rode out on theoars lo the beet point of vantage toview the wreck.

Moiggs' wharf up to that time wasalmost deserted, except by those whoworethore on business. About noonthe police stretched ropes across thewhnrf and those who had no businesson the landing were ordered avrav. Apatrol wagon was in readiness and thesurvivors, after being taken ashore,woro driven to various hospitals withnil possible haste. The Morgue wagonwas kept busy and one by one the bo-dio- s

that were brought ashore wereconveyed to the Morgue.

LIFE SAVING CREWS

RECEIVE TARDY WARNING

So sudden and complete was thewreck anl so thick was the fog thatthe life-savin- g crews, with lookoutsless than two miles away, were notaware that anything had happened forover two hours after the disaster.

At the Fort Point station, the fogsignals of the Rio were not heard.The first intimation of anything unusual came nt about 7:15 o'clock, vhenEHllngsen. who was on watch at thetlmq, saw the ships lifeboat an J thetwo fishing boats come out of a clearplace hi the fog. His glasi showedtfiat the boats were crowded withpooplo, and the lifeboat, under com-mand of Caotain Hodsou. wa launch-o- d

at once. The Beach and South sta-tions wore notified at once, the former

.sending its crew around thi point and'tho latter driving across to the boat-hous- e

nt Baker's Beach to man thespare boat kept thore.

The Fort Point crew too. ThirdOfficer Holland, Russel Harper ind O.Helntz aboard, as they were weak orInjured and wanted to be taken ashoreat once. The rest preferred to go onto Melggs wharf, leaving tho lire-sa-v

Ing crows to rescue the' survivors. Thethroe boats put off to the scene of thewreck at once, but found nothng buta string of wreckage a mile long float-ing out on the tide. For three hoursthey continued the search but with nomsulL Once th southern crw jlclitod a boat floating bottom up but failedto examine it in their eagerness to findsurvivors. Late-- " hi the day the bodysf a man rearing i life wasfound under that same boat Finally,the crews rowed In, and left thosearch to tho tugs and small craftwhich were crowding the scene of thowreck.

As the day wore on and tae newsEpread in tho city the hills of the Mil-itary reservation and the cliffs beyondwere the resort of thousands of pso-j?l- o,

who took advantage of the holidayto view the scene of the wreck. Itturned out a beautiful afternoon; alow-se-t bank of clouds, shot with light,;gave the yellow bay a touch of green'ish, silvery gray. There was not asign of tragedy, except tho fleet ofboats circling around the fatal' rockand passing back and forth on thesearch, or antoccaslonal bit of driftwood or wreckage washed up on thebeach.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE

RIO OE JANEIRO

JThe City of Rio do Janeiro was builtat John Roach & Sons works, at Ches-ter, Pa., In 1S7S. She was a barken-Une-rigge- d

iron screw vessel of 354Stonnage and 700 horse-powe- r.

Her measurements .were: Length 344feet beam 3S feet and deptn of hold2S feet 7 inches. The steamer hadbeen a source of anxiety of her owners and of apprehension to the friendsof those on board long before she mether fate yesterday la the harbor ofSan Francisco. She has been designat-ed 'Ly men before the mast, in theirpicturesque sea parlance, a "tender"ship. That is, she was built to suit oldtimes, and was not kneed up as sheshould have been. Nevertheless shewas stanch when out In the openocean, as her resistance to many astrong blow and rough sea testified.

She had several mishaps. Oae ofmese took place In 1SSS, when theRto de Janeiro was blown hundreds of

inmiles' out of her course arter leavingthis port for the Orient, and was twenty-e-ight day in making Yokohama-The- n

WRECKABE IH01GATE0 t

BOILER EXPLOSION

Pilot Melville C. Erskine and PilotGeorge D. Korts passed through theHeads after the wrecking of the RioJaneiro and agreed in saying that thefloating wreckage which covered thebar and bar was so broken and splintered as to suggest that th'ere had been j

an explosion. As Pilot trsklne camein during the morning he met thewreckage far out on the bar, and onone bit of a deckhouse was the nameRio Janeiro. The pilot at once con-cluded that the steamer haa beenwrecked by bursting boilers, and hissurmise found support as he examined the broken stuff, of wnich therewas plenty everywhere.

Later in the day Pilot Korls took aship to sea, and. the tide then flooding,was freighted with wreckage, the char-acter and appearance of which inclin-ed the pilot to believe that there hadbeen a boiler explosion. Broken shut-ters, cabin woodwork and light stufflittered the bay. Much of It had beencarried to the harbor, and Its quantityas well as its splintered condition, con-

firmed the explosion theory in themind of Pilot Korts.

"It was perfectly clear when I camein." said Pilot Korts. "and nothingcould be seen of the sunken Rio. Thelife-savin- g boats and the tugs had leftand. except for the floating wreckagethere was no evidence that an accidenthad occurred."

Vandals at Work.F. Kotelman. a transfer agent, who

was on one of the launches, saw tendifferent trunks, all of which had beenrifled. !n a part of the main cabinwhich had drifted away a trunk wasfound belonging to Russel Harper.The trunk was still in the stateroomand under the berth, but even then Itwas not safe from the ravages of theghouls. The top had been pried open,and Its contents taken.

During the afternoon four trunks,which had been picked up by a tugnear the scene of the wreck, andwhich constituted a good part of thebaggage saved from the wreckedsteamer, were taKen to the raclncMail dock. They were labeled res- -

noctively. "C. Dowdall. Shanghai;" "H.C. Matheson," and "Kapt-L- t Hecht"and the remaining one had a tag at-

tached, upon which was the address,"Mr. Seymour. California Hotel.1' Thebaggage was-drlppi- wet and the con-

tents have probably been ruined. Inaddition to the four trunks, various ar-

ticles belonging to the steamer worepicked up. including ventilators, lifepreservers, etc, which had been sweptfrom the deck of tne steamer.

Much of this wreckage came to thesurface some distance beyond the spotwhere the Rio went down, which ap-

peared to confirm tho opinion express-ed bv seafaring men and otaers fami-

liar with the tides and the topographyof the bay near the entrance, that thetremendous force of the ebb tide atthe time of the sinking of the steamercarried the vessel Itself some distancefrom the ledge upon which It firststruck. This wreckage, coming to thesurface again, was earned by theequally strong flood tide, back into thebay.

A lot of wreckage was picked upby different boats and towed to thewharf. Among the things picked upwere parts of the wrecked steamer, awhole sldo of a stateroom, portionsof the cabin, a lot of wearing apparel,mall matter, photographs, documents,tho certificate of Captain Ward as amember of the Xiasonic fraternity.h s recalla and the silken bag In whichthey reposed, also a silk muffler bearing his initials. Ten mall pouchestwo of them cut open and emptied oftheir contents, a lot of carpets, cabindoors evidently wrenched from theirfastenings, and parts of the steamerthai gave every evidence that theyMad been rent from the framework ofthe vessel, b'ecause the nails andscrews clung to thef fragments, werebroucht ashore. Each fragment waseacnrlv scanned by anxious spectators,as thouch it could reveal some clew tothe missing ones.

Large Fleet of Tugs.In response to the orders of the Pa-

cific Mall Company's officials the fol-lowing tugs were rushed to the sceneof the wreck: Sea Queen, Monarch,Sea King, Rescue, Relief. Alert, Re-liance, Mlllen Griffiths, Millie and IdaW.

Before these tugs reached Mile Rocksome of the wrecked steamer's peoplewere picked up by Italian fishermen,but many more were unable to retaintneir nold on the raits ana sparswhich supported them. The lugs relieved some of the fishing smacks oftne men whom they had picked up.The Sea King landed thirty-nin-e Chi-nese at the Mail dock, and the MlllenGriffiths brought in sixteen more,eight of whom were picked up on thePresidio beach.

More than twenty fishing smacksand a dozen gasoline launch werei toalso on tho scene; but most of themarriv?d too late to do rescue work.The Government tugs General Slocumand Sternberg were also sent outThey were too late to rescue any one.

Story of Officers.Pllol Frederick Jordan was In con

sultation with Vice President Schwer otof the Pacific Mail Company for

more than two hours yesterday at theMall dock.

When asked to what he attributedSo disaster, Pilot Jordan, said:

Freight clerk J. G. Englehardt ofthe Rio de Janeiro made the following statement yesterday at the California Hotel:

"I was working in my cabin whenthe ship struck tne rock. I gained thedeck just as the ship was recedingafter the fearful blow. I thought thatIt was all off, and rushing down belowI secured all the ship's papers. I land-ed these papers to Purser Rooney forhis guardianship.

"When I returned on deck CaptainWard was superintending the lower-ing of the boats. There was no panicuntil the final plunge of the ship. Thelast I saw of Consul Wildman waswhen I handed the papers to PurserRooney. Wildman was in the purser'scabin.

"The report that Captain Ward lock-ed himself in his cabin must be un-

true. The last I saw of Captain Wardhe was standing on thebridge and wastying the rope of the whistle to therail. This was done to keep the whis-ti- e

blowing all the time. I am surethat the ship sank so quickly that Cap-

tain Ward did not have time to reachhis cabin."

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION

CAUSED BY DISOBEDIENCE

Upon whom shall rest the awful re-sponsibility for the great loss of a shipand its cargo and the greater loss ofone hundred and wenty-tw- o lives, acourt of inquiry must determine.There is in the service of the PacificMail Steamship Company a standingorder to every captain employed bythat corporation not to leave a harbornor to enter one in the fog. CaptainWard disobeyed luat order. There isalso a universal principle that when apilot steps on board a vessel he isabsolutely master of the ship and canbe swayed In no possible way by anyorder or suggestion of the master ofthe ship. Captain Frederick Jordanviolated that principle.

Officials of the Pacific Mail Steam-ship Company declare that the respon-sibility must rest wholly upon the un-fortunate captain who went down withhis ship. It is claimed that a pilot isemployed solely for the purpose of acting in an advisory capacity and thathe does not take command of the ship.He Is to act solely in suggestion and"to warn the commander of the incom-ing vessel If anything unusual hashappened in the harbor since he leftIf this be the habit of the Pacific MailSteamship Company it is in violationof a universal custom at this port

TALES OF HORROR AS

TOLD BY RESCUED

Port Captain Pilot Thomas H. Bar-ber, after an experience of thirty yearsas a pilot of San Francisco, said: "No-body can make a chart of the currentsof San Francisco harbor that wouldbe worth anything because the cur-rents change so quickly and differ somuch at different seasons and in dif-ferent years that a chart would bemore likely to mislead than to guidea pilot. This is the worst harbor Iknow anything about for dangerousand changing currents.

"The winter freshets change themfrequently and never twice alike. Aheavy current comes down throughRaccoon straits and another runs be-tween Angel Island and the city. Thecurrents join toward Lime Point andfrom there they run in a heavy sixor seven knot current toward MileRock.

"Sqmetimes the current sets fromPoint DIabolo, but always on an ebbtide the stream Is heavily toward thesouth shore at the Heads, and a pilotcan only do his won, right by constantstudy and experience.

"On a flood tide the set of the current is strong toward the north shore.There is plenty of water In the channel about sixty fathoms between FortPoint and Point Bonita and if a vesselsank there she would go out of sight--Along the south shore the bottom isragged and rocky and there are ledgesrunning out that are dangerous in fog-gy weather. Steam Is, of course, saferthan sails because you cannot loseyour wind, but the' currents have tobe watched closely all tne time if apilot Is to avoid trouble.

"if a ship should run on to the slop-ing ledges alongside of Mile Rock orone of the other ledges she would soonslide off and sink in deep water."

With Forfeiture of Fees.

The long night of. the jury on thecase of Manu, charged wuh assaultwith weapon, did not come to an enduntil 10:25 yesterday morning. Theywere shut up to deliberation for near-ly nineteen hours. "When they cameinto court it was only to report stillhopeless disagreement. Their line ofdivision was at .ill to 2.

J. H. McKenzie as foreman, in an-

swer to questions by the Court, statedthat the jurors holding out against averdict were C. K. Quinn and "W. T.Schmidt. Judge Humphreys, aftermaking some remarks, ordereo. thatthe jurors be discharged as to thatcase and that an order of mistrial beentered. Also, he ordered that Messrs.

Quinn and Schmidt be dischargedfrom further service as trial jurorsand that they forfeit their fees perdiem for the whole term.

Respect for Memory of Henshall.General A. S. Hartwell, former Jus

tice of the Supreme Court, moved thatthe Court adjourn in respect for thememory of William A. Henshall, anattorney of the Territorial and Federal courts, who lost his life by thesinking of the Rio de Janeiro, newsof which was received oy the Mariposathat morning. Hon. J.

NELL GWYNNE.

Miss Roberts Takes the Title Roleand It Suits Her.

Nell Gwynne is now the rage ofEurope and America. Miss Robertshas found in Nell a part that suits herin ever?" respect and is happy when-ever she plays this role, as Nell is fullof comedy and snap. Miss nobertsplayed Nell Gwynne at the Alcazartheater, San Francisco, for six weeksto the capacity of tne house and thestanding room sign was displavednightly. So it may be expected thatthe patrons in Honolulu will not letthe opportunity go by, but make theirreservations as quickly as possible.The sale of seats for the entire pro-ductions are selling fast.

The scene that pleases as well asany is when Nell is disguised as ahighwayman and holds up u--e stagecoach and fights a fierce combat withthe man she loved but now wants tomake a hero of' in the eves of the wo-

man he is about to wed. Nell is fullof adventures and has many hair-breadth escapes but comes out smil-ing. You cannot help .ut admire Nellwith her Irish brogue and red Hair,for she savs vou are all her friendsand she won't have it anv other way.Nell used to sell oranges at the doorof the theater where now she is agreat actress. The king admired herfrankness and made hfr his favoritestar, but NpII never forget her oldfripnds while verv successful. Onenight she eave a supoer to those dearfriends and during the conversationshe remembered a Dlav that severalof the party present had taken part inwhere they rob a stage coach. Nellsaid: "Boys, tonight we will play thatscene just as we did in the stage andI will make a good man thai loves alad of the court, who thinks he is acoward, a hero." Nell, as chief of thehighway, sfbps the coach ana engagesIn combat with the soldiers and thelady of the court faints just as Nellis about exhausted. She whispers toJack: tIimade you a hero in her eyes.Now I will be off and you fellows takecare of yourselves."

We tried every food we knew. Asa last resort we consulted a specia-list He advised using Taroena.Baby commenced to improve imme--diately. Now he is six months oldand weighs twenty pounds, and isa uig, robust boy, thanks to Taro--ena. Can anyone wonder why weare so anxious to send you word ofour gratitude. Mr. & Mrs. J.

DESTROY THE SHADOWS OF IWILEI.

the protestation of the defenders of

DESPITE vice at Iwilei that such a place .sIn this community the Christian

sentiment of the people is against it and we

believe that sentiment- - is strong enough to bring

aboat the closing of Iwilel and the strict enforcement

of uic law by the officials of the Territory. In another

column of today's Republican is published an

intorviow with Mrs. H. C. Coleman on the evils of

such a vile den as IvrileL Mrs. Coleman well says:

"It Is a high price we (the moral women 'of the com-

munity) are paying for the protection they are said

to give us. I would like to know what has become

of tho civilization of the Twentieth Century, tintthe men have turned Into brutes and the women

mast purchase Immunity from their bestiality by

sacrificing their own self-respec-

For ourselves we believe that every man who

wants that his life shall mean something, or who

at the worst wants that it shall not be a stumbling

block to another cannot but feel a manly contempt

and a sontimont of unreserved condemnation for

tho men who have no feeling for the Inmates of

Jwflgi and no better opinion of their fello'wmen

than to declare that such vile resorts are necessary

to protect the virtuous women of this city from-th- e

brutal sensualism of the men. Such argument Is apandering to all that is bestial in man. But as Mrs.Colqmau says: "Suppose it is impossible to cope

witn'tho social evil? Is that any reason why weshould' give it logal sanction?"

Let a man turn his face to the sunlight, andthough he may stumble on his way, he will riseagain and mount steadily Into a wider and brighterand happier life. Let a man tuin his face away

from tho 'sunlight, and the beast instincts which nepanders to will fight with him, until they masterhim and possess him, as the devils possessed theswine, and they will drive him along the way ofdarkness, a sinister and unclean figure, a mass of

unhappy degeneracies, a whited sepulchre withinwhich are the dead bones alike of natural appetitesand of spiritual possibilities. Such a life Is the mostmiserable of ail that a man may lead and, were itnot so disgustful, it would be the most tragic. Theend of It is torrible. To have given up all the fairkingdoms of tho world and to have In exchange onlya vlpor brood of unclean memories and the ashesof an extinguished desire what a sorry spectacle!

THE STATUTORY PRECEDENTS. -EVERY Act of Congress creating a Territory,

IN duties of tho Secretary of the Territory havedefined with clearness, especially with ref-

erence to the preservation of the laws and thetransmission of copies to the seat of governmentLot us quote:

Section 4, Act of July 13. 1TS7. the NorthwestTerritory: "It shall be his (the Secretary's) dutyto keep and prosorve the acts and laws passed, by the

legislature, and tho public records of the district.nnd the proceedings of the Governor in his execu--

,' tivo department and transmit authentic copies of

such acts and proceedings every six months to theSecretary of Congress."

In Title 23, "provisions common to all the Terri-

tories," Sec. 1S44 (R. S. U. S.): "The Secretaryshall record and preserve the laws and proceedingsof the legislative assembly, and all the acts andproceedings of the Governor In the executive depart-ment; he shall transmit one copy of the laws andjournals of tho legislative assembly, within thirtydays aftor the end of each session thereof, to thePresident ." etc

Soc C9, Act of April 30th. 1900, organizing theTerritory of Hawaii: "He (tho Secretary) shall re-

cord and prcsorvo all the laws and proceedings ofthe Legislature, and all the acts and proceedingsof tho Governor, and promulgate proclamations of

,1ho Governor. He shall, within thirty days aftertho end of each session of the Legislature, transmit

'" to the President, et al.. one copy each of the lawsand Journals of such session and shallperform such other duties as are prescribed In thisAct or as may be required of him by the Legislatureof HawatH

It will be seen that the duties of the Secretaryas laid down In the Hawaiian Act in no wise differfrom the duties Imposed In the Act "common to allthe Territories." These duties arc plain and simpleand easily understood. There need be no extra frillsadded because Hawaii Is the Territory concernednow. The Secretary may wait until aftor the Legis-lature adjourns, store away the minute books orjournals and forward the copies of the proceedingsand laws when printed, and "there you are."

THREE CIRCUIT JUDGES ARE NEEDED.

GOES without saying that three circuit judges

IT ore needed for the Island of Oahu, comprisingthe First Circuit In addition to the natural In- -

crease of litigation and probate business, theabsence of one judge for many months has crowdedthe docket to such, an extent that even with twoJudges many months must elapse before the courts

'catch up. Cases begun under existrag conditionscannot be disposed of for an indefinite time,' and itIs wrong to keep the people out of their legal rightsIndeterminately. As Judge Frcar points oat in hisreport, the Organic Act does not limit the numberof circuit, judges, but leaves that matter for the Leg-islature to determine. IX the additional judgeshipbe created the President will fill It by appointmentAsto the appropriation for salary, tfils could be pro-vided for at the extra session of Coagress; and ifthere, be no extra session, there 4s enough money Jatho fund to pay all the salaries until Coagress meetsagain In December next So that there is every reason why the additional judgeship shoahl be created,and bo valid objection against it Hawaii Is .the onlyTerritory is the Union that may' increase tho num-ber of its iadges. The strong probability is thatthe salaries of these judges will sooa be raised tofoar thousand dollars per year. Senator Clark ofWyoslag introduced a bill for this purpose, and him-self reported itback favorably from the JudiciaryCommittee to the Seaate without amendment it

will lively pass the Senate this se&oa and will leready for passage in the rfosse either daring theoxtra session or the next regular sesskra.

THE PRINTING OF THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.

.N ORDERING the Governor's message to be print- -

I ed, the Legislature only ordered one hnndr&tI copies. This is a xerj small number of copies of

a Governor's message to be ordered printed, butthe Legislature probably thought a message so inconsequential and indefinite as that of GovernorDole was not worthy of wasting money on. If so, itis not to be wondered at As pointed out by thispaper a few days ago, the Governor's message wasmore notable for what it did not say than for any-thing that it did say.

Probably In no Territory that ever existed in allthe history of the United States were there so manyimportant matters to come before the Legislatureas confront he present Legislature of Hawaii, andyet on not one of these questions was there anyrecommendation by tne Chief Executive of the Ter-ritory- By the Organic Act a large number of thelaws of Hawaii were amended, making the presentcivil and criminal code almost worthless. Threepages of the Organic Act are devoted to enumeratingthe amendments to the civil and criminal laws ofHawaiL This very naturally suggested much newlegislation, and among other things the importanceof the creation of a code commission to prepare andcodify a civil and criminal code for the use of theTerritory. Such a commission" should be providedfor by the present Legislature and required to re-

port the result of its labors to the next Legislature.Notwithstanding the Importance of this .work, notone word or suggestion with reference to It wasmade In the Governor's message. . '

At the time of the election last fall particularattention was drawn to the loosely worded electionlaw of Hawaii and the need of immediate reformin regard to the establishment of additional electionprecincts. Following the registration it was foundthat nine hundred voters were registered in one pre-

cinct in this city. It was conceded by all that theelection law should be amended and provision madefor the division of large precincts, even after regis-tration had closed, if it should be shown to be"

necessary. Notwithstanding the importance 'of thisquestion, affecting the franchise of the people. Gov-

ernor Dole could see nothing in the present con-

dition of the election laws to be worthy of any rec-

ommendation in his message.The present exemption law of Hawaii is a dis-

grace to Christian civilization. It provides that theonly articles which shall be exempt from execu-tion and forced sale shall be the family bible, fami-ly pictures, school books, two swine or six goatsone piece of land where kalo is growing, provided thesame does not exceed one-hal- f acre actually cultiv-ated for family use, or a house lot, provided thesame does not exeed one-quart- of an acre, and thehouse thereon does not exceed two hundred andfifty dollars In value. Never in any community, sup- -

posed to be dominated by English laws and'Engllshcustoms, was such an infamous exemption law en-

acted as this one which disgraces the statutes ofHawaii. Yet did Governor Dole in his message seefit to call attention to this disgraceful statute andrecommend any change in it? Not one word didhe say about the matter.

It is important that Hawaii should have a home-stead law by which a husband" or wife could pre-

serve a homestead free from execution or forced saleand free from alienation. In California a man canretain a homestead of the value of 55.000 and inWashington. Oregon. Colorado and a number ofother western states he can retain a homesteadof the value of $3,000. Many njen in the Stateswho would like to became residents of Hawaii fearto come here because of this condition of affairs.They say, and rightly, "why if I should go to Hawaiiand should meet with any misfortune I would besold out of house and home and left as badly offas though I were a slave." May be the Governor islike a good many others in this community, he doesnot want to see progressive American citizens cometo Hawaii, hence he would prefer to see this in-

famous law remain upon the statute books, ratherthan see modern and progressive laws enacted.

TMe Organic Act provided that on and after itstaking effect all men charged with serious crimesshould be Indicted by a grand jury. The Act ex-

pressly declared that until the Legislature shouldotherwise provide, grand juries should be drawnin the same manner as trial jurors in Hawaii. Thisbrought about an entirely new condition of affairs inHawaii, and it is of the utmost importance that leg-

islation in compliance with this new conditon shouldbo enacted: yet Governor Dole seemed to be utterlyunaware of the fact, as he .failed to call the Legis-lature's attention to it In his message.

Tho criminal code of tho Territory is medievalin its classification of minor crimes and in the pen-alties it provides. Offenses of the most petty sortare made heinous by the very nature of the punish-ment provided. Petty larceny is looked upon every-where as a crime of but little moment and the pen-alty is not to exceed SI00 fine and not to exceed sixmonths in jail, the usual punishment being threemonths in a jail or workhouse. Here in Hawaii thepunishment is imprisonment at hard labor not toexceed two years, or fine not to exceed $1,000. Ifthe fine were imposed to its limit a man would haveto serve in the penitentiary for five and .one-hal- f

years, at the nfty-cent.a-da-y rate allowed prisonersIn Hawaii, in order to work out his hne. if the limitof the law were imposed for his offense. Under thislaw an offender must be indicted by the grand juryand then tried by a petit jury In the circuit court

Only the first of last week a man was arraignedin the circuit court on the charge of petit larceny.The grand jury wasted at least a day in consideringhis case, and some time was wasted in the circuitcourt in reading the indictment and in the subsequent plea. "When, the case was finally called fortrial one day was consumed in selecting a jury andhearing the case, with a result that the man 'wasfound guilty and sentenced to three months in jaiLIt cost the Territory over ?300 to try a man lor anInconsequential offense of pilfering some triflingarticle valued at about eleven dollars. All thiscould be avoided if the proper laws were enacted.There is no reason why these petty offenses shouldnot be treated here, as they are every place else intho United States, and the police magistrate or thejustice of the peace given power to sentence theoffender to three months in jaiL the usual penaltyfor the same offense is the States.

There are scores of similar instances of the ex-

isting condition of the present hodge podge laws inHawaii, and yet the Chief Executive of the Territorycould see nothing in this condition of affairs to callfor any recommen&ation to the Legislature.

Inded it seems that the printing of 100 copies ofthe Governor's message is just copies too many.

RESULTS "OF A DISPENSARY LAW.

South Carolina, where it has no- - been In forceT for eight years, is assured by. the reports of thedirectors of the dispensaries of that State. Op-

position has gradually died out until there is noquestion now of the law having behind it the moralsentiment of the State. A recent tetter from H. H.Cram. State Dispensary Commissioner, contains thefollowing Information: "The law has now been in

force eight years, and the longer it is in force thebetter results we get No one is allowed to sellspirituous or malt liquors in this State except theauthorized State asents. Arrests for crimes thatwere formrly ascribed to whisky and intoxicantshave been reduced ninety per cent In fact some ofour towns have no marshal or policeman, so suc-

cessfully has the dispensary law worked in reducingdrunkenness and attendant crimes."

A reference to the report of the State Board ofDirectors of Dispensary shows that for the fiscalyear 1900 the profits to the schools, counties andtowns from the sale of liquors at the dispensariesamounted to S566.S6S. vThat it would be much easierto enforce many of the provisions of a dispensarylaw in Hawaii than it was in South Carolina is evident from the fact that all liquors shipped to thisTerritory must come by water. This would greatlyreduce thestrict watch necessary In oouth Carolina,in the early days of the dispensary law, to preventthe unlawful introduction of liquors into the State.That it would greatly lessen drunkenness here thereis no doubt, and above all it would take the saloonout of politics in Hawaii before it toad an opportunityto become an Important factor.

A CHALLENGE.

ERSISTENCY becomes assininity with GovernorDole and Secretary Cooper in their continuedharping on the alleged duty of the latter to makefor himself a record of the proceedings of the

Legislature to forward to the officials in Washing-ton. There have been Territories and Territorialgovernments in the United States since July 13, 17S7,

when the Northwest Territory was organized out ofthe country lying west of Pennsylvania and to thenorth of the Ohio river. This act was passed by theConfederate Congress, and consequently antedates,the present Constitution of the United States.

All of the subsequent enabling acts'for Territorieswere modeled upon the plan of the Northwest Ter-ritory. Yet, strange to for the first time in thehistory of the United States, a new construction isscought to be placed upon the simple duties. of theSecretary of the Territory. It is reserved for thequid nunces of Hawaii to teach" Uncle Sam's officersthat for one hundred and fourteen years they havebeen ignoring the rights and duties of the Secretary.There are happenings of late in Hawaii that willcause broad smiles of ridicule in "Wasfllngton, and theridiculous pretensions of the Secretary will not bethe least cause.

If the Governor and Secretary are right in theircontention they can be sustained by legal precedentThey have reiterated bald assertions long enough.Now for the proofs. Let Governor Dole request ofthe local Attorney General an opinion as to the Sec-retary's rights and duties in the matter. Then letMr. E. P. Dole find, if he can, one single precedentin support of the contention that the Secretary of theTerritory is "the President's representative" in thelocal Legislature, and is therefore entftlea to a seaton the floor; let Kim find one single precedent forthe assertion that the "proceedings" that are to beforwarded by ifim to "Washington are to be gottenup or composed by him. Let him show a pre-

cedent where a Territorial Secretary sat on the floorof a Territorial Legislature and made a report of theproceedings, separate and distinct from the officialrecords kept by the clerks of either house.

Show, up or shut up." Bald' assertions are nolonger legal tender

If it be found that there is no precedent for thesilly claim made by the Secretary, let him honestlyand squarely admit that he was mistaken, or. if henever believed in his claim, that he was simply try-ing'-to

run a "Caezar" on the native legislators.

At the opening of the legislative session the Ad-

vertiser complained bitterly of the disposition ofnative members to talk, and prophesied that the ses-

sion would Se fruitless, in consequence. Now that itIs proposed to limit speeches, the same paper criesout law." The insincerity of the sheet is soapparent that it sinks to the depths of a commonscold.

The question Is, to whom does the tug Eleu belong this morning.

A RHYME POLITICAL.

Miss Evelyn How-ell, who is always among the first toadopt a new style if it pleases herfancy, made her appearance at Mrs.George Chllds Drexel's ball with adiamond glittering in each ear.

So the woman who cares tq wearearrings has a good precedent for sodoing. The only question is, will themajority of women bravely submit tothe piercing process, and more brave-ly still appear in public as advocates.,of the fashion of a day that is gone?

"Hov; is it," asked the Debutante oftho successful Married Woman, asthey sat in tho conservatory for a lit-tle while between dances, "that youare such a T success? You're not sovery " she flushed and paused, un-

certain of her words.The Successful Married Woman

nodded her head with a good humoredsmile and. took up her sentence. "No,I'm not so vory pretty," she admitted."Wasn't that what you were going tosay?"

The Debutante, cornered, took ref-uge in candor and nodded In reply;and then went on in a hesitating way:"And you're not at all at all "

The other frowned and answeredquickly, with a considerable acces-sion of dignity; "Quite so! I'm notIn the least, and have no ambition tobe. A fast woman Is my abomina-tion!"

"Then what Is It?" demanded theDebutante, frankly and "a trifle Impa-tiently.

"My dear." was the solmen answer,"it's the men."

"Oh, I know that," even more im-patiently. "But what is it? How isit? You must study men and theirways all the time to be such a past-mast- er

in the art of fascination." -

"Pouf! There's where you are mis-taken. I don't study the men at alL"She paused, and then continued. Inquite another tone and much mora se-riously: "Little girl, I don't know thatit is precisely a good lesson to teacha bud, but it may save you a heart-ache some day. and you'll haveenough sight better times besides.Have you noticed that most of myardent admirers are married men?". The Debutante nouded.

"Well, that's because I study theirwives, and "

"And imitate them," interruptedthe Debutante excitedly. "Of course,how clever!"

Nothlng or the sort!" interruptedthe other sharply. "Child! child!learn Trom this moment that the be-ginning and ending of a man's likesis variety, and that sameness is hisabhorrence.. 'Imitate them indeed!I do just the opposite thing."

The Debutante gasped mentally atthis revelation, but made no com-ment

"I take it for granted," continuedher mentor more quietly, "that whena man may have the privilege of con-versing with the wife of his bosomevery day in the week, some otherkind ol a woman will please him bet-ter daring the hours he gives up tomixing with his fellows.

Miss Parris was informed of this.When Johnson made his next visit hewas charged with treachery, and was

' advised never to return.i Johnson became desperate. He triedto malign the cliaracter of Miss Parrisby. slandering her to the other youngmen of the town. His declarationswere made known to liss Parris anSshe sent him a note asking that he callto see her.

" He came promptly. They met on thefront porch. After accusing him oftelling lies about her, she plunged apenknife into his heart and he died ather feet. .

Miss Parris showed no emotion whenshe saw Johnson breathe his last. Sheexpressed no regret She was commit-ted to jail without bail, and was sentto Honderso nville, N. C, to preventher rescue by Redmond and friends.

At the next term of the SuperiorCourt Miss Parris was indicted formurder. She was represented by thebest lawyers and by their.advice pleadguilty of murder in the second degreeand was sentenced to the penitentiaryfor fifteen years.

She was taken to the state peniten-tiary at Raleigh and there confined.With -- short hair and striped clothes,as she assisted in washing; mendingandmaking garments" for the otherconvicts, she presented quite a differ-ent appearance from what she had. asthe belle of Tryon City. She was cheer-ful and said she aid not regret whatshe had done, "that her reputation asa virtuous woman was ffiore to herthan life, and that under the'same cir-cumstances she would again take thelife of any man who attempted to slan-der her'good name.

In the meantime Redmond was hid-ing in the cliffs of Tryon- - --Mountain.His relatives and friends brought himnews of the murder of Johnson and ofthe punishment of his sweetheart. Hadshe been confined in the Poik countyjail Redmond and a hundred of hisfriends might have destroyed the jailhouse in their efforts to liberate her.As it was they were powerless.

As soon as Miss Parris was removedto the Raleigh penitentiary Redmondleft the mountains and tollowed herthere. He had never been in the citybefore and was entirely unknown. Hefound work there, and through a friendhis sweetheart was informed of hispresence and a personal interview wasarranged with Miss Parris. The prisonauthorities never knew that he was amoonshiner, a fugitive from justiceand a lover of the belle of Tryon City.

The beauty of the untaugnt moun-taineer impressed her jailers and thegood ladies who visited the prison. TheKing's Daughters of Raleigh especiallytook great interest In the fair- - convictThey visited her in prison and did allthev could to alleviate her condition.They found her young and unsophisti-cated, without education anu training,but with the making in her of a goodand true woman. Desiring to removeher from the ways to which she hadbeen accustomed, and to surround herwith new environments, the King'sdaughters set to work to get her a con-

ditional pardon.They readily induced Miss Parris to

sign an agreement that if released shewould surrender nerself to the King'sDaughters and go to, the House of theGood Shepherd in Juaryland, and thereremain until she had been trained sothat she could make an honest living.

She was pardoned on this conditionand was immediately taken to theHouse of the Good Shepherd.

Time has added to. the charms andgraces of 311ss Parris.' Her educationhas been, much advanced and she hasseen something .of the world. She hasaccepted her detention in the House ofthe Good Shepherd in good faith, andin some part as penance for the lifeshe took.

She looks forward to the time when,by the. consent of the Governor, shecan once more be free and become thewife of the man whose affection forher increased with her perils and grewwith her trials.

takes the cup in his right hand, dipsa spoon into It and conveys the liquidto his mouth.

The flavor of Chinese teas varieswith the provinces In which they havebeen raised- - The constituents of thesoil change the taste of the tea. TheChinese teas are graded by favor inthe following order: aioynne, Tenkai,Fychow, Hoochow, ana Ping Suey.Then there are the blends or com-pounds which are called Sarroun andShanghai packed. The name gun-powder applied to tea simply meansthat the leaves are rolled up In lit-

tle balls, so that the prepared teahas the appearance of black granu-lated gunpowder. In the young hysonteas tne leaves are rolled the longway.

The so-call- English breakfast teabears a name of New York origin.It chanced tbat at one time a quan-tity of tea fermented before It wascured. The grower was about :othrow It away when a thrifty associ-ate suggested to him that he mightas well dry It. The fermented leaveswere dried and shipped to England,where the new tea made an Immensesuccess, and orders were sent to thegrowers for the delicious new prod-uct.

The Chinese soon discovered rapidand economical rupthrds of fermentingtea for the English market The teawas in those days, however, calledCongow. It remained for a Park Rowrestaurant keeper to give it its finalchristening.

He hung out a sign that "EnglishBreakfast Tea" was on sale. The pub-lic liked the spoiled,tea from China bythe way of England, and the popularityof the brand grew. If you have everordered oysters in this city under thename of "Xew York counts." or haveattempted to purchase Frankfurters inFrankfort, you will understand how itwas that for years England did not recognize its matutinal drink by its Amer--

nameVery little of the tea which the ex

aminer takes into his mouth is swal-lowed. The tea taster expels all thathe can of it as soon as his sense hasreached a verdict. Still, a small quan-tity finds Its way to the stomach. Thespitting out of the liquid takes fromthe mouth a certain amount of saliva,and the result Is an impaired digestion.The continual absorption of tea has abad effect upon the kidneys. It is nounusual thing for tea tasters to stopwork for a time In order to give theirinternal organs a chance to get backto their normal state.

I knew of an expert who made histrade the excuse for occasional lapsesinto intoxication. He said that he need-ed the change.

The tea taster, as a general thing,seldom looks upon the wine when itIs red. for his taste is something hemust keep from being vitiate 1. A tasteof the dark brown variety so feelinglydescribed by Eugene Field is not to bedesired as a beginning for a day'swork in Front street The man whomust distinguish between the delicateflavor of teas never chews tobacco,and very few of them smoke. Cigarsare seldom seen in the ofllces of teaImporters.

Few occupations are better paidtflan that Q the tea tagter There are, , ,t twentv , thp calllntr. Thehlghest salary is $10,000 a year, while55.000 is not considered to be morethan ordinary compensation. Some ofthe tea merchants save the salary ofan expert by themselves passing uponthe quality of all teas which they han-dle.

In large houses the skill of the teataster turns the scale In large trans-actions. Cargoes are bought and soldupon his judgment The tasting of asingle spoonful of tea may make adifference of "several hundred dollarsIn the valuation of a consignment Forthis reason the importers wish, firstof all, absolute honesty in tueir advis-ers. It would be possible for an un-principled man to get much morethan salary by passing favorably uponteas of Inferior quality. Jonn B.Brown, a tea merchant, said the otherday that when a tea house had abso-lute faith in the taster he could drawa salary which would seem very largeto men In other trades.

Many stories have been told aboutthe short lives of the tasters of tea.yet with ordinary care and with peri-ods of rest these men live as long asthose engaged In most other occupa-tions.

"While drawingrooms and levees arelikely to become fewer in numberIn England during the present reign,and presentations at court less Indiscriminate than heretofore. King Ed-ward will revive several state func-tions which played a great role duringthe early portion of his mother's reignbut which were relegated to oblivionafter she became a widow. Chief ofthese is what is known as the "holdingof a court." Courts were held not inthe afternoon, but in the evening after10 o'clock, and they were attendedonly by those who had received theroyal "commands' or invitations, be-ing restricted to the members of thediplomatic corps and to certain lead-ing dignitaries and high officials, aswell as a number of the great nobles

Land their wives, the sovereign personally deciding who is to be Invitedand who not In one word, these"courts' are evening receptions bythe monarch of people whom he andhis consort wish to see around them.and only those agreeable to their maj-esties will receive "commands sinceno one not even foreign ambassadorsor English cabinet ministers have aright Jio invitations. In this respectcourts differ from drawingrooms andfrom levees, for " to be de-nied admittance either at drawing-roo- m

or at a levee constitutes a so-cial stigma, whereas mere is no suchmeaning attached to ie failure to re-ceive a "command" to a court.

The procedure at these "courts" Ismuch the same as at a drawingroom.That is to say, the people attendingit pass before the sovereign and hisconsort in the throne room, makingtheir obeisance and kissing the hands.As soon as this is over, however, thefunction develops into a sort of even-ing party, for which those who. havemade their bows and courtesies re-main, instead of immediately seekingtheir carriages, as at drawingrooms.

An extraordinary incident tookplace at the grand reception of theleading dignitaries of the Turkish em-pire which was held the other dayby Sultan Abdul Hamld on the occa-sion of the great Bairam festival. Asat levees in England, those presentpass before the Sultan, kissing eitherhis hand or the hem of his coat. Atthe very moment when a stout, white-bearde- d

old pasha was bending low tokiss the hem of his sovereign's stam-bulin- e

he suddenly pitched forwardwith such violence as to almost upsetthe Sultan, who of course Immediate-ly took it for granted that an attemptwas being made upon his life.

The utmost consternation prevailed.Swords were drawn and the panic wasat its height when attention was at-tracted to the fact that the pasfia whohad Jjeen the cause of everything waslying on the ground, stone dead. Thefact of the matter was that he hadruptured an aneurism of the heartwhen bending forward To pay hishomage to the Sultan. Needless toadd, the reception was brought to aspeedy close after the removal of thedead body.

The reports published the other dayto the effect that an attempt had beenmade to assassinate the young Kingof Spain, and that tfie royal familyhad been shot at while taking theirdaily outing 'in the royal park orlgi-naTe- d

with the fact that ajgentlemanof known rank and repuTe had a pistolaccidentally go off in his pocket, for-tunately without injury to himself oranybodv else. He was at quite a dis-tance from the royal partv. and altHb'the police rushed up to him as soonas they heard the sound of the sRot,they made no attempt to arrest himwhen they learned how the mishaphad occurred.

It may be asked why a man shouldbe carrying a pistol In a royal nrrk.In answer to this It must be explainedtint until a very short time ago in-

deed the park was tfie hunting groundof all the most dangerous criminalsin Madrid, and that it was as much asone's life was worth to be overtakenthere by darkness, or even by dusk.Indeed, even now It is only very

and inadequately policed.People who heard the sound, of the

shot and then saw tfie police precipi-tating themselves upon a man natur-ally at first took it for granted that anattemnt had been made to assassinatethe King, and that is how the reporthad been started Marquis de Fonte-no- y

For a long time the young man wassilent. He spent the flying momentstracing his full name with his littlefinger on the window pane. Sudden-ly the Self-Reserv- Lawyer spoke tohim.

"I'm finding business good after elec-tion," said he.
