PERSONAL NOTES.

Our late American Minister Resident,
R. NJ. Daggett, accompanied by Mrs.
Daggett, left San Francisco on June 26th
for Virginia City. Mr.. Daggett himself
expects to return to San Francisco in
about three weeks. After his arrival there
he was interviewed by the press repre-
sentatives, who started rumor that his
mission to Washington was for the pur-
pose of inducing the present National
Democratic Government party to annex
the Islands. The unfounded rumor was
started by the Evening Post" and tele-
graphed all over the United States. 1t
probably originated in the fertile brain of
Arthur McEwen, its editor, ouondam
Virginia City friend of Mr.. Daggett's.
Mr.. Gus Spreckels and wife, also Miss
Ilene Ivers and Miss Dorr, sister of Mrs.
Spreckels, Were passengers by the Mari
posa yesterday. They are welcome adj
dition to Honolulu society.
Rev. Dr.. Hemphill and Mrs. Hemp
hill, of Philadelphia, arrived by the Mari
posa yesterday. They will be guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Warehouse during
their visit. DR.. Hemphin is one of the
most earnest and eloquent preachers of
the Presbyterian Church in America.
Hon. DR.. J. Mott Smith has written to
Mr.. II. w. Severance, Hawaiian Consul
at San Francisco, for additional samples
of coffee, rice, sugars and any other arti-
cles representative of the Islands, to be
added to the collection of Hawaiian ex-
hibits at the New Orleans Exposition, so
as to increase our showing at the Louis
vile Exposition. DR.. Smith has also
written to our Government, urging them
to take action in the matter.
Mr.. J. II. Putnam, the new American
Consul TO Honolulu, called upon Mr.. n.
W. Severance when in San Francisco, and
held an interesting conversation on Island
topics, with which he was DESTROYS of be-
| coming familiar.
The Misses Coney returned to Homo
lulu yesterday by the Mariposa after
their tour round the world.
The trial of Adolph Spreckels in San
Francisco acted like magnet to many
former residents of the Islands who con-
gregated in the narrow passages leading
| to Judge Toohey's Court
From our San Francisco exchanges we
learn that Mr. G. R. Buckland of the
Merchant has been appointed by the
| State Yiticultural Commission, Secretary
to committee specially engaged in COL
Letting and forwarding exhibits of grapes,
wines, raisins and other viticultural pro-
ducts to the Louisville Exposition.

Hunting Wild Turkeys.


Hunting the wild turkey is considered
very good sport, but as they are only in
season during the cold months it requires
a hunter of endurance to find them. In
the mountains they have curious way of
getting shot After building "blind I"
of boughs to hide behind, the hunter
throws quantity of grain upon the
ground within easy gunshot, and drops
few grains In lines radiating probably for
100 yards in every direction through the
woods. There is then plan upon the
ground like the hub and spokes of wheel
Early in the morning the wandering flock
of turkeys will find one of these spokes
and run along it eating as theJ go. until
they reach the feast of corn at the hub.
This is where the hunter is concealed, and
you can imagine the rest. They get to the
feast, but like PolOnious, it is feast mot
where they eat, but where they are eaten.
Another device for Turing them within
gunshot is the turkey call. a sort of
whistle made often from wing bone, and
with which the voice of a turkey can be
very well initiated The male birds
answer and gradually approach, amid
breathless interest on the part of the
sportsman, until bang! bangI off go both
barrels, and it frequently happens, off go
the turkeys with only the loss of few
feathers
The gobbler is an ilLnatured churl and
will break up his wife's nest and smash
the eggs every time he gets an opportunity
Worst of all he kills the young, not alone
of his own family, but also Of his neigh
bors This teaches mother turkey to hide
her nest away and to guide her young so
they will not be discovered by the male
The instinct clings to them in domestica-
ton and they require close watching to
prevent the nests from being hidden

There was once a barkeeper who fell
into a decline, lost his appetite, couldn't
sleep and so on. His doctor advised him
to try change of air, and recommended
the Maine woods He started for the
woods, and on his way halted over night
at Portland. During the evening there
was a terrible hail storm. Standing at
one of the windows of the office of his
hotel the barkeeper watched the fall of the
hail stones-many of them nearly as large
as hens egg
While thus engaged he was observed
by the hotelkesper to shed a
pool of scalding, passionate tears The
el-keeper was tender hearted person,
ever mindfr' of his guests; so, softly ap-
preaching the weeping barkeeper he
begged leave to inquire the occasion of his
sorrow. "Oh, it's nothing; I'll feel all
right again presently, " said the barkeeper,
"but with glance at the descending hail)
it pains me to see so much cracked ice
wasted on a prohibi state

A False Alarm,

At o'clock last evening a fire alarm was
sounded from the central tower, district 6
being designated. This district lies be-
tween Punchbowl and Victoria streets, and
before the engines had started in that di-
rection, word was received that it was a
false alarm, produced by rubbish bur ming
on the plains. The fire laddies therefore
put up their apparatus again.
While on this subject, it should be men
toned that the members of No. claim to
have got first water on the FIRE of Tuesday
night, instead of China No. 5, as stated By
the ADVERTISER. 1t was extremely difficult
1t tie time to find out exactly which com
pany was first, and the report was based
upon the best informa ton obtainable at the
time.

Tucker Women Aroused.

On Wednesday afternoon quite a
number of ladies waited on the
Hon. County Court to present a pc
tition signed by many of the lead
ing citizens of the town asking the
said Court not to grant license to
sell intoxicating drinks in Tucker
county. 1t was late in the even
ing when the ladies appeared in
Court, and the Commissioners ad-
journed before they could make
known their business. The ladies
surprised the court for they entered
the temple Of justice when least ex-
pected and took seats in the jury
box. We hear that they will visit
the court again to-day, Thursday.---
Tucker Democrat.
We are advised that notwith-
standing the prayers of the women
and appeals of all decent citizens,
the county court of Tucker did
grant license to certain individu
ais to debauch the citizens of the
county. Shame on the Commits
sioners, to bring such disgrace to
the good name of Tucker county
