FRIDAY, OCT, Is, 1889.

The brandy makers of California
have big scheme on hand, which
has considerable interest for Homo
lulu, but not affecting the local
temperance question. Brandy has
to be kept several years to age it
sufficiently for the market, but it
must pay, in the States, 80 cents a
gallon to the internal revenue within
three years. This is very heavy
tax on producers with comparatively
small capital, who cannot afford to
have the money licked up several
years. 1t is therefore proposed to
evade the tax on California brandy
by having An immense warehouse
built at Honolulu, in which the
brandy would be stored in bond I'M
Til it is ready to be marketed. The
building Of the warehouse and the
storage fees here would be money
in private pockets and the public
treasury.

equipped on the sea. The grandest

pears to be the Baltimore built by

twenty knots an hour in a continu-

The TREATY MATER.

Hon. II. A. L. Carter, Hawaiian
Minister to Washington, was inter
viewed by the San Francisco press
generally, on his arrival from hence,
on the matter Of the reported pro-
tectorate treaty. The Chronicle re-
ports him as saying that there is
no treaty under consideration at
all" The Ministry's conference
with him was to have settled once
for all the talk prevalent in the ISL
ands for years about the United
States desiring to gobble up Ha-
wal" and also ''tor rendering the
relations of the two countries more
intimate. 'For this purpose"
Mr.. Carter said, "a.series of articles
were drawn up fer my private guild
anoe in negotiating with the author
tiles at Washington. This was not
treaty, for the United States knew
nothing whatever about it. 1t was
simply done SO that if Mr.. Blaine
should desire to frame treaty /
would know how far l could CO."
Mr.. Carter characterized it as
''simply ridiculous" to say that the
document in question was "a means
of annexing Hawaii to the United
States" So far from that, it ex-
pressly guaranteed Hawaiian indie
pendence. He said the mass meet
ing against the treaty was due to a
''garbled account" that went out.
They were acting in entire ignor-
ance of the facts of the case. and
consequently their protest will make
no difference at all in my actions at
Washington. The Minister further
denied that there was any coercion
nsed toward the King, and that there
was anything for the King to sign.
He also denied that he was backed
by Chief Justice Judd, and he did not
believe the Chief Justice knew of the
proposal. Moreover, he, Mr.. Carter,
Was not in favor OF all points in the
memorandum. He did not desire
permission for American troops to
land, saying, ~ think American
troops land there altogether too
often as it is, and ! would rather
have devised some means of check
ing it,"
"Apart from this" Mr.. Carter
said in conclusion, ~ believe if we
could make treaty on these Inca 1t
would restore tranquility and put an
end to all the foolish talk about an
nexation which has caused 30 much
Worry"

A Queer Find at Yale.

1t is related that not so very long ago
two OF the rickest middle-aged men in
New York city went up to New Haven,
unknown and unannounced, to look
over the Yale buildings and the city
with view OF sending their sons there.
They took n carriage to the campus
and there found the gentleman whose
regular business is the care and SUPER
vision OF the college property and prem
ises. They asked him to show the m
about, and he did SO as only he can
He made it very interesting to them
and when they were ready to go the
two had brief conference, and then
the more famous one (whose name be-
gins with a five-dollar sign) offered to
his guide ten-dollar bill. What is
that for?" he asked. "Why, that's for
showing us about, of course" was the
reply. ..Well, can't take it, he said !;
1--WE only done what l am employed
to do" and he positively declined the
gift and retired. 1t is related that as
the carriage with the two New York
ers rolled back to the railway station
one of them remarked to tho other:
"This is the first town I ever struck
where man wouldn't take a ten-dollar

wailing his state of mind. Il have

Il said, Collect bottle-corks;' and he
took to the suggestion at once. and now

He classified the corks according to the
character OF liquor their bottles con-
tanned and the countries from which
they came. He has become a marvel
Gus expert and his collection deserves
to be exhibited in the national museum.
He will pick up u cork in the street
and at once tell that it came from a
bottle containing such and such wine
and from such and such country. He
carries on his specially as does post

"Of course that mans mind can not
be OF very high order to be satisfied with

all yield to this wonderful medicine. 1t is

Kidd on the coast of Long Island Sound.

Kidd on the coast Of Long Island Sound.
Many persons have been engaged in
similar enterprises all along the Allan
tic coast for the past two hundred
years. Most of the. small islands on
the coast of New England haye been
dug over with the expectation OF find
ing treasures secreted by the prince of
pirates. For nearly fifty years opera
tons were conducted on the left bank
of the Kennebec river, nearly fifty miles
from its mouth. At one time many old
sailors turned tramps and managed to
obtain living by selling secrets in re-
gard to the hiding places OF Captain
Kidd's money. A few of them pretend
ed to have copies of confessions OF some
of the crew OF the gallant captain,
while others showed charts with
strange markings, which they said
were directions for finding the secreted
treasures. One of the most entertain
ing of Poe's stories pertains to chart
Of this kind. Many OF the persons en-
gagged in digging for Captain Kidd's
money were directed by fortune tellers
and inspired dreamcrs. Others were
guided by the information derived from
old traditions. On one island on the
coast of Maine claims were marked out,
worked and sold. as they are in the
gold and silver mining sections of the
west at the present time. 1t is almost
needless to say that none of them "pan-
ned out" we'll.
The most probable reason why none
of the money buried by Captain Kidd
was ever found is that it is not likely
that he ever buried any. Perhaps the
reason that he did not bury any was
that he did not have large amount
at any time to ''salt down." Pirates,
like most sporting gentlemen, were
high livers. On shipboard they were
not content with Il fare of hrrd tack.

shore they were n gay and festive set

cost no small sum to fit out and equip
piratical craft. Its regular ruunin g
expenses were large. The business OF
pirating is not always prosperous even
If it is carried on by enterprising
persons who have had much ex.
perience. 1t is a risky occupation in
more senses than one.
In recent times pirates have confined
their operations to the land. They
have robbed stage coaches and railroad
cars instead of ships. They have OBJ
tained large sums of money, but they
have not had much to bury or to put
in bank. Jesse James was the most
enterprising and successful of the lot,
but he left no estate. and his widow
was obliged to exhibit herself in a
dime museum to get means for her
support. Most OF our other native
land pirates have died as poor as
country ministers. Herald.
