MARINE PICTURES.

InOats' window are some beautiful
marine pictures, which should be
seen by every one interested in
yachting and kindred amusements.
They are ali fine specimens of photo
graphy, and represent many of the
most famous yachts of the present
day, including the champion Puritan,
and her English antagonist, the
cutter Genesla. The well-llnown
America, Gen. Butler, owner, should
receive notice, on account of her
triumph over the English fleet at
Cowes in 81, when the cup was won
and brought to the United States;
and the sloop Mischief deserves
honorable mention for so success
fully defending it in 81 in the races
at New York with the Atalanta of
Toronto. One of the best pictures
in the collection shows the Puritan
leading the. fast schooner Fortuna, of
the Eastern Yacht Club, of Boston,
and two others represent the Boston
sloop on her trial trips off Marble
head Neck, the yachting headquarters
in Massachusetts Bay. The Mohi-
can, Que of the largest schooners of
the New York fleet, is shown under
working sails in a very light wind,
giving beautiful wave effects, and
the swift schooner Grayling, also of
New York, is making good Roadway
in a fair sailing breeze.
Among other views are those of
the sloop Priscilla, of New York,
the unsuccessful rival of the Puritan
in the trial races to decide which
yacht should meet the Genesta in
the contests at Sandy Hook, and of
the iron Cutter Bedouin, until re-
Gently considered crack yacht, and
of the new steel steam yacht Stiletto.
The vessels mentioned above are
consideredrepresentativ Americans,
but many more, nes rly equal to them
in every respect, could be named in
a list including such famous schooners
as the Dauntless, Dreadnaught,
Magis, Madeleine, Columbia, Foam
and Sappho, and the sloops Oracle,
Fanny and Shadow. 1t would have
been interesting to add a photograph
of the cutter Galatea, which next
year is to try and win the America
Cup from its present holders. But
the Puritan's present owner, Gen.
Chas. Paine, holds her ready to meet
anything of her size from beyond
the Atlantic. y

FOWL STEALING.

Mr.. Young, manager of the Homo
lulu Iron Works, has been a heavy
loser, recently. from the depreda-
lions of fowl thieves. On Saturday
night last the thefts eliminated in
the taking of nine very valuable
Black Spanish fowls, which brought
Mr.. Young's losses, from a short
time previously, up to about fifty
fowls of different varieties. 1t seems
that OH the night mentioned his
female watchdog was shut up under
the house with litter of pups, and
so could not interfere with the
operations of the sneaking marau-
ders. The foregoing is only one of
very many similar cases reported
lately, and, if the police do not
check the evil, the hardware mer-
chants will soon be making heavy
profits in selling shotguns.-[ Nov.

TINE LATE CAPT, BREWER,

The following additional partcu-
lars of the life of the late Capt.
Brewer, whose death was mentioned
in yesterdays issue, will be of in
terest to our readers. In 1885 the
house now bearing his name in Homo
lulu was established by II. A. Pierce
and Chas. Brewer under the style of
Pierce-Brewer. The firm and name
was changed in lS43 to G. Brewer
& Co., the company being c. Brewer,
second, nephew of Capt. Brewer.
The senior partner shortly afterward
proceeded to Boston and established
there the firm of Charles Brewer
& Company. There has ever
since been an intimate connection
between the Boston and the Homo
lulu houses, the former carrying on
all its extensive business on these
Islands through the latter. Capt.
Brewer first came to these Islands
about 1926; in 1880 he was sailing
vessel between this port and Cali
fornia and the Northwest Coast, and
he has been closely identified with
the business and other interests of
this kingdom since his first arrival.
In 1884 Capt. Brewer wrote q book
of "reminiscences for private circula-
ton, and few copies were sent to
this kingdom. Born March 9th,
1904, he was above 81 years of age
at death. He has left three sons
and one daughter-the latter, named
Eliza, now living at Jamaica Plains,
Boston. One of the sons is Mr.. w.
p. A. Brewer, residing at Makawao,
Island of Maui, and the other two
are Edward and Joseph, who have
had active charge of the Boston firm
for several years. Another son, John
D., partner in the firm of c.
Brewer & Co., died here on Deem
Der 18th, 1879. Capt. Brewers
wife died some years ago. Nov.

FIRE ON A VESSEL.

About a quarter to four O'Clock
this morning fire alarm was sounded
from the Central Tower, and taken
up by the bell ON the China Engine
House little later. There was Il
great running to and fro by fire
companies, and citizens on foot and
in carriages, for good while before
the locality of the fire could be as
certaincd. At length a commotion
was noticed on board the schooner
Emma lying out in the stream, off
the Fish Market, and shortly a
wreath of smoke was seen curling
up from her forecastle. Then some
time was consumed in deciding how
to reach the fire with the hose.
Eventually branch from Mechanic
Engine was sent out in scow, the
schooner at the same time being
warped in nearer the docks. An
effective stream soon put the flames
out. Before that was accomplished
however, the fire had licked its way
through the inner and outer plank,
ing, making two holes in the latter,
and had completely destroyed the
hunks. The Emma is the property
of Mr.. III. Macfarlane, and was fully
insured. A survey will be held on
Monday, when the extent of the
damages will be ascertained. There
is nothing definitely known as to the
origin of the fire, but there is sup,
position that it may have been caused
by sparks from the limekiln. There
was nobody on board the craft, she
having been laid off and stripped Of
apparel some days ago. Oct. 3lst.

OLD RECORDS.

A few days ago we published a
selection from an American paper,
containing some "reminiscences of n
naval veteran named Sarvis, who
said his father was on board the
L. S. man-of-war Alliance during
the Revolutionary war. Hon. w. G..
Parke has informed a reporter of
this paper that he has the official
lists of the Alliance company at
that period, and they do not contain
the name of Sarvis, but the man
indicated may have been on board
under different name. Mr.. Parke
has certified copies of the records of
the Alliance, when the crew of that
ship mutinied in French waters
against Capt. Paul Jones, the latter
having gone insane. The grand
father of Mr.. Parke was captain of
marines on the vessel at the time,
and was selected by the Navy De-
partment at Washington to main
tain order on board during the
trouble.

A WORK OF ART.

An elaborate and meritorlous
piece of sculpture in wood has been
produced by Mr.. F. Otremba, at
his house, 126 Nuuanu street. 1t
is reduced model of the statue of
Kamehameha l. in the Government
yard. The figure of the monarch is
in one piece of koa wood, the mantle
being gilded as in the original, and
the spear is of kauwila wood. The
fluted capital is of black walnut, and
the remainder of the pedestal koa
with black walnut trimmings and
facings. Upon the statue and the
four tablets the carving is very
creditable, the historical scenes on
the latter being finely executed.
The smooth surfaces wear mirror
like polish. On Saturday last His
Majesty the King called at the
sculptor's house TO inspect the work,
and expressed his satisfaction at the
fine Workmanship displayed. To-day
the statue will be placed on view in
King Bros art store, Hotel street.
Had it been completed earlier, it
would have made q handsome addi-
ton to the Hawaiian exhibit at New
Orleans and Louisville. Mr.. Of
remba is at work upon . second
model, and is prepared to execute
any order in wood carving with
which he may be entrusted Nov.

MR.. MENKE'S DEATH.

Happily there is reason to believe
that Mr.. Conrad Menke, Of the
Humuula sheep ranch, did not COM
nit suicide, but that his death was
accidental. After hearing the rumor
on Saturday that he had been found
dead, shot through the head, only a
quarter of an hour remained before
press time to gain further informa-
ton. A reporter drove to the Hotel
to find the gentleman who was said
to have brought the news, but not
finding him there came down town
and was informed in q leading bust
ness Office, that there was no doubt
of the affair being as stated. Mar
shall Soper, however, late in the
evening stated to the writer that he
had received letter indicating that
there was no evidence of suicide.
The lamented gentleman had gone
to his room with the stated intention
of putting new cartridges IN rifle.
A report was heard in a few mo-
ments, and Mr.. Menke was found
Immediately afterward with the side
Of his head shot away. Death was
doubtlessly instantaneous. Deceased
was highly respected, in prosperous
circumstances, and had shown no
symptoms of suicidal intentions.
His untimely death has caused in
tense regret among his many friends
in town. Nov. End.

Mr.. Washburne's Prodioamont.


Probably one Of the greatest Ministers
we ever had abroad was Washburne at
Paris. He made more of a mark for him
self IN modern times than any Minister
we haYe sent to Europe. Yet Washburne
was The hero Of an incident Of social mis-
fortune which would have driven any OF
the delicate creatures now sWarming
after a foreign place TO commit suicide, il
they had been similarly unfortunate.
Washburue was one evening at a court
dinner given by Napoleon III. 1t was the
custom at these dinners when the En-
press arose to retire with the ladies for
the gentlemen to rise from Their seats and
step back from the table so thatshe could
pass down The line between them. BY
this all could avoid turning their back
upon the Empress.
Washburne had very tender feet. Dur
ing the dinner his feet gave him a great
deal of annoyance. To ease himself he
had @ ietly slipped oil his patent leather
pumps under the table. He was absorbed
in conversation toward the close of the
dinner, and was caught unawares when
the Empress made the signal OF departure.
He was Obliged to step back without
having time to put on his pumps. lie
stood in his stOcking-feet, grave, dignifed
and self-possessed, in the row OF grinning
diplomats who stood at his right and left.
He betrayed none Of the embarrassment
that he must have felt, and was never
heard to alludo to the incident by any
one.

How Two Frenchmen Crossed the Brit
