The superstitlons Of Yachtsmen

The Superstitions of Yaehtsmen.
The fact of the Mayhowe-, the new
yacht built to race with the English
champion, having stuck on the bottom
in launching seems to exercise the minds
of yachtsmen to a greater degree than
would be deemed credible to people who
regard it as an idle superstition. Il am
free to confess" said A. Carey Smith,
that am firm believer in luck. Some
yachts are lucky and others are not, and
have never known an instance where
yacht stuck in launching but that she
was more or less unlucky during her ca
reer." Henry Peipgrass states: Il would
never expect anything from a yacht of
mine that stuck on the ways. Capt. Sam
Gibson of the Gracia and Capt. Dand of
the Stranger agreed that they never
knew of a yacht that stuck in
launching having a successful ca
reer, which opinion was conceded with
by John NJ. Sawyer, who has built a
large number of the yachts constructed
in America during the past twenty
years.
Henry Andrews states: %If owned
a yacht and she stuck in launching, I
would sell her to the first purchaser"
Frank Hopkins, one of the most expert
enced yachtsmen in the country, said:
Il believe in luck as applied to yachts. If
any yacht of mine stuck on the ways,
would dispose of her at the first opportu-
nifty" Capt. Charles Mackin, who han
followed the record Of every New York
yacht built the past twenty years, ex-
pressed the following views: Il
think the talk about luck is
all moonshine, but, nevertheless, it's
fact that every yacht that stuck
in launching seems to have been unfor-
tunate. If they entered arace they either
had too much or too little wind, would
get aground or in collision, or lose spars,
or do anything but win the race. This
may or may not be luck, but it is
cold, shivering fact in yachting history"

OUR ARMY.

The military appointments and pro
motions gazetted last week and referred
to by the ''great newspaper" as forming
"red letter day in the military annals
of Hawaii" furnished the pleasure
seekers of the metropolis with an enter
tainment for which they should be
duly grateful. A gorgeous burlesque
OF this character, even on paper, should
go far to compensate our community
for the prevailing famine in dramatic
entertainments. With such evidences
of our home resources in these direc-
tons, we need not pine for the merry
magnificence of the "Mikado" or the
cheerful satire of "Pinafore" Mr. Gil
bertandsullivan, with his usual enter
prise and acumen, is already on the
way to our shores in order to drama
tie and set to music our military sys-
TEN with its civil adjnncts. 1t is re-
ported that the title Of the new oper-
eta is to be Ree spelt with w. The
Intelligence officer" it is understood,
will be the hero of the play, and in
case the treasury runs dry before the
Appropriation Bill IS all paid, he will
then become the villain Mr. Gilbert
andsullivan had hoped to have several
intelligence officers as characters, but
as suitable n,.tsral for this class is
scarce in the army, it was found to be
impossible in crafty him. He feels,
however, that he will be able to bear
up under his disappointment, as he can
make up in generalissimos.

"oursOw Shall Not Ring ro-nieht." !"


There is perhaps not one person in
a hundred, says rhe st. Paul GI0be, but
is familiar with the poem "Curfew
Shall Not Ring Tonight" and yet
there is not one of the hundred who
can tell the name Of the author The
poem was written nineteen years ago
by Rose Partwick, a Michigan girl, but
did not find its way into print for three
years afrerward. The author was not
pleased with her production, and with
held it from publication. 1t was her
first effort, and was laid away until one
day. in an extremity to fulfil an engage
ment to furnish the Detroit Commercial
Ad5srtiser with a certain amount Of
copy each week, and not having any
thing on hand when the demand was
made for il, she took the manuscript
down from its dusty shelf and sent it
to the publisher with instructions to
put it in the waste basket if he didn't
think it worth publishing. 1t was pub
lshed, however, and in less than a
week was copied into all the leading
dailies in the country. Miss Hartwick
has since married Mr.. Thorp, and
now lives at Grand Rapids. On a
recent visit to Chicago, the zT6nne
said of her. "She is bright and enter
tanning in manner, and by no means
shows her five and thirty years. She
has never written anything of nete ex-
cept her 'Curfew,' but derives quite an
income from her children's stories,
which she is writing with some sue
cess"

OPIUM AGAIN.

The opium bill, as amended by the
Sanitary Committee, provides for Ii
cense fee of thirty thousand dollars in
stead Of forty thousand, the license being
for four years instead Of one year and
only one license to be granted instead
Of two. The sale of the opium by the
licensee is restricted to persons who
produce medical certificates that it is
the proper remedy for their disease.
The opium is to pay duty Of fifteen
per cent and stamp tax cf one dollar
on each tin.
The bill wears an innocent aspect in
its provision for confning the traffic to
medicinal purposes. But if this were
the real object, there is no need for
creating a monopoly in the drug. The
restrictions imposed on the license un-
der the bill could be enforced as well
in the case of all drug stores as of one
licensed dealer. Then, under the pro-
vision for certificates to be issued by
"some physician" any Chinese doctor,
or any of the kahunas legalized in the
Hawaiian Board of Health law just
passed, could grant certificates, with
results that it would be waste
of space to state. Lastly il
only a proper medicinal purpose is
sought in this bill, would it be profit
able to the licensee, after paying his
$500 per annum and other dues !
Doubtless in the course of years fac
titious necessity would be created under
the licensed importation.
Medical men and social scientists in
other countries are now viewing with
alarm the ever increasing demand foi
opium in its various medical guises.
The best way to prevent the beginning
and growth of such an evil here is to
stick to prohibition in its simplicity
Even the medicated opium bill deserve:
no better fate than indefinite postpone

DIVIDING THE COSTS.

There was an assault and battery case be-
fore county justice not many miles from
Detroit the other day, and the plaintiff came
to the city and engaged an attorney of his
acquaintance to represent him. The lawyer
told him he had straight case and couldn't
help but win it, and on the day of the suit
Re got horse and buggy and drove out.
Three or four miles from his objective point
he was stopped by farmer who asked:
'"Be you that Detroit lawyer?"
stYes."
..Well, let me give you hint. The de-
fendant is Jack -, and he's rather a bad
man. When you come to sum up be leetle
careful what you say"
The lawyer had gone another mile when
he was accosted by man who sat by the
roadside waiting Tor him:
..y sBs you that Detroit lawyers"
about Jack - in court. Jack has bad
way of gittin' even with folks.'
A'mile from the town he met two men,
one of whom asked:
s'Be you that lawyer from Detroit?"
EYES,"
..Goin' to appear agin Jack -, s'pose?"
"Yes."
"Then be keerfll what you say about
him. He's allus loaded fur bar"
He drove on to the Office of the justice,
and constable welcomed him and said:
81 s'pose you'll pitch into Jack - more
or less. I'll lend you a revolver, and you'd
better hire man to take that rig back to
Detroit and you can 60 home on the cars.
Don't give me away, and don't neglect my
advice.'
When the justice came in he gave, the at
torney cordial greeting, and added:
"After the trial is over you'd better stay
right here in the Office until a constable can
smuggle you out into the woods. 1 don't
want anything to happen you"
When the case opened the Detroit lawyer
surprised the crowd by advising his client
to leave every thing to his Honor, and his
Honor discharged the prisoner with the re-
mark:
''Seems like case of temporary insanity
and the costs will be divided"
