Fire Alarms.

The fre-alarm bell kept ringing
for some time Tuesday morning,
rousing late sleepers. The cause
was a small blaze in coal pile above
Wilder & Co.'S. warehouse.
Another alarm was sounded about
noon from Mrs. Haalelea's residence.
The fire was beyond doubt in
cendiary, for, after the flames had
been extinguished, some of the fire.
men discovered where the fire had
originated quite a large piece of an
old tablecloth that was perfectly sat
urated with kerosene. 1t was found
under a cottage, back of the main
residence. It was at first thought
to have been the work of some small
children, but the presence of the oil
saturated cloth is pretty conclusive
evidence that it must have been set
afire by pretty old children. 1t was
very narrow escape, for had the
flames not been extinguished at once,
the whole lot of buildings near by
would have gone up in smoke.

4 SPLENDID STEAMER.

One of the first fruits Of the Postal
subsidy law is the action of the Pa
citic Mail Steamship Company
ordering two splendid 4OO0-ton
steamers for the China trade. On
July 10th says the Call, Henry T.
Scott, of the Union Iron Works, re-
ceived telegram from his brother,
Irving NJ. Scott, now in New York,
stating that they had been awarded
the contract to build a 1000 ton steam
er for the Pacific Mail Company. The
vessel will run on the China route,
and will probably take the place of
the steamer Rio de Janeiro. She
will cost something like three-quar-
tiers Of a million dollars.
Several months ago Henry L.
Scott went East to examine the
plans and specifications for the con-
struction of this vessel, and with his
brother and their engineers began to
make calculations. Her was seen
yesterday by Chronicle reporter in
regard to the new vessel. We ex-
pect to turn out of our yards" said
he, lone of the finest steel ships ever
built on the Pacific coast. and one
that will rank second to none of her
class in the world. The exact ton
mage of this vessel will be 1000, and
she will be built for carrying both
passengers and freight. He length
will be about 400 feet. beam As feet.
and she will have about % feet
depth of hold. We will put triple
expansion engines in her, and with
single propeller we will have her
steam at the rate of sixteen knots an
hour.
"The steamer will be furnished
throughout with electric lights, and
the accommodations for the passen-
gers will be of the most improved
and modern order In fact, people
travelling to China on this steamer
will have all the conveniences of a
frst-class hotel.
We will have the vessel launched
by the first Of next year. With the
coast defense vessel Monterey, the
battle ship Oregon, cruiser No. 6, the
Spreckels tug and this new ship on
our hands at the same time our
yards will be full, but we are cabable
of turning off all this work in due
time"
Mr.. Scott stated that while the
new steamer is being built in the
Union Iron Works yards a sister ship
will be III process of construction in
the Chester Ship Building Com
pany's yards in New York. The lines
and fittings of the two vessels will be
as nearly alike as workmen can make
them, and as soon as the New York
vessel is completed she also will be
brought out to run on the China
route. There will be a lively race
between the two ship yards to see
which will turn out the contract first
and which can make the best vessel.

a curious question has arisen as TO the
question OF duty on the wreckage of the
Trenton and Vandalia, brought here
from Samoa on the brig Sea Wait. The
Government presented the wrecks to the
Samoan Government, which in turn con-
tracted with some San Francisco wreck
ers TO save what could be got out for q
certain percentage of the net profits.
Now Collector Phelps has assessed duty
on the wreckage, and his ruling has been
confirmed by the Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury. The action win practically
rob the Samoan Government of any
direct benefit. and relief bill Is propos-
ed to go before Congress this winter.
Several whale-back barges, capable of
carrying 5000 tons of coal, ARE to be built

the pattern of whale, and the top
covers are screwed down when the whale
Is loaded. They are expected to revolu-
tionize the Coast traffic.

SCOTTISH THISTLE CLUB.
The First Literary and Social
Given BY This New Oreani-
zation. Auousf ed.


cation, August sd.
A large attendance was present at
the occasion of the first literary and
social given by the Scottish Thistle
Club at Militant Hall. Not only
were those of Scottish descent pres
ent, but of other nationalities as
well. 1t was pleasant and enjoy
able time.
The first of the literary pro-
gramme was a few Introductory re-
marks by Mr.. Daniel Logan, Editor
of the Daily Bulletin. He stated the
object of the organization; that it
was for mutual social benefit, and
for the purpose of cultivating the
musical and literary tastes of the
members. He distinctly stated that
the society was not organized by any
party or class, but as a union of
Scottish and English descendants.
The programme following was
well rendered and as we'll appreci-
ated:
Overture, Piano-Balmoral Mrs. Gray
Song-Nameless Lassie. . Mr.. +. More
Violin scotch Selections, Messrs. Eadie
Song-Comin' Thro' the Rye. 49,.
...........M Miss Gertie Whitney

80. Messrs. Pollock and Ritman
Song-Scotland Yet. Mr. Sandman

............... Master B. Petrie
Song-Old and Only in the Way.
Mr.. Ritman
Reading ... Mr.. Kenyon
At the close of the above pro-
gramme, Mr.. Walter Hill, an honor
airy member of the society, was intro
duced. He made a few closing re-
marks.
The hall was then cleared for dan
cling. The Highland Fling was
danced by four members of the club,
who kept excellent time to the music.
Mr.. Thomas Gray was the leader of
the dancing, which was kept up till
late. Music was furnished by the
Hawaiian Quintet Club, Jr. A light
lunch was served from the Elite Ice
Cream Parlors, one of the features
being large cake with Scotch
thistle frosted on top.

Principle in Poverty.

Lady Burton, who burned the
manuscript of the translation of
"The Scented Garden" made from
the Arabic by her husband, Sir
Richard Burton, just before he
died, is now supported by subscrip-
ton raised by friends and admirers
of her husband. She has been
offered 5000 guineas for it, but she
deemed it too indecent for publica-
ton, as a majority of those who
would subscribe for q copy would
read it for its filth, and not in the
spirit of science, in which it was
written. Burton told her his lit
eral translation of the Arabian
Nights" was baby's tale COM
pared to this manuscript, and be-
fore he finished the translation he
declared he would never translate
another unclean Arabian book.
The widow preferred poverty to
riches gained from q book that
might do lncaIcuiable harm.

What Keeps the Bicycle Upright?

Let US suppose q cyclist mounted
on his wheel and riding say to-
ward the north. He finds himself
beginning to tilt over toward his
right. He is now going not only
north with the machine but east
also. He turns the wheel east
ward. The point of support must
of necessity travel in the plane of
the wheel; hence it at once begins
to 90 eastward, and, as it moves
much faster than the rider tits, it
quickly gets under him, and the
machine is again upright. To one
standing at distance. in front or
rear, the bottom of the wheel will be
seen to move to the right and the
left, Just as / moved the foot of the
skeleton frame a moment ago. l
conclude then that the stability of
the bicycle is due to turning the
wheel to the right or left, whichever
way the leaning is, and thus keep
ing the point of support under the
rider, just as boy keeps upright
on his finger a broomstick standing
on its smallest end.

Killed on the Railroad.

About 2 o'clock Wednesday after
noon one of the chains that hold in
position the dump carts used by the
Oahu Railway was broken while the
train was running near the Kameha-
meha Schools. A japanese laborer
was riding on the top of the car
although the laborers have been pro-
hibited riding that way. AS the
chain broke, the car turned and the
Jap while trying to keep on top was
thrown under the wheels which
passed over his body, killing him
almost Immediately. Superinten-
dent Ashley sent for Marshal Wilson
at once, who viewed the body at the
depot where it had been taken, and
examined a number of witnesses
who showed that it was the laborer's
carelessness that resulted in his
death.
