THE MISSING MAN.
Joseph B. Cook, the ALLEGED De-
fauIter, Is Very Scarce.

IdUitCLI 10 FCLJ SSo1SS'
AS stated in yesterdays ADvER-
TIsER, Joseph B. Cook, the default
ing Police Court clerk of San Fran
cisco, has left town and it is pre-
sumed he took passage on the
Alameds for San Francisco with
the intention of surrendering him
self TO the authorities in that city.
Yesterday Justice Bickerton
notified Attorney-Genera Brown
and Hon. c. W. Ashford, that he
was ready to give his ruling on
the law point raised by Mr.. Ash
ford at the hearing of Cooks case
which took place on Wednesday.
Mr.. Ashford informed the At
torney-General that he had not
seen his client since Wednesday,
and if the item in the ADVERTISER
was true he felt sure that he could
not produce the man.
1t was learned yesterday that
Cook has not been seen by the
Marshal since Wednesday, and an
inquiry at Mrs. Gertz's house on
Beretania street brought forth the
statement that Cook had left his
room on Thursday morning with
out saying anything and forgot 70
return.
No person of Cooks description
purchased a ticket at the office of
VIM. G. Irwin & Co.'s previous to
the Alameda's departure, and this
strange proceeding is explained by
a man who says that the fugitive
slowed away on the vessel with the
expectation of getting ashore at
San Francisco without detection
and if successful then he would
leave for Canada or some othel
haven for defaulters. If this pro
gramme was interfered with by
the police of San Francisco, Their
Cook was ready to stand trial fol
his ofense.
The news of Cooks capture here
will no doubt bring an officer from
San Francisco on the return Of tn
Alameda. From present appear
: ances his errand will be that which
is termed "a wild goose chase"

The Yost
WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago Mrs. Yost, built tyoe-
writer, the Remington No. = and
Caligraph which We're good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter, \
same ribbon, came scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the New
YosT, which rises superior to the
difficulties of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull ii along, weakens manifolding
and costs IS or $40 year. Our
ink pads outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 81 II year. And as
to permanent alignment the 1osT
is the only machine which accom-
plishes this much desired feat.

ABOUT HAWAII.
What the Telegraph Says About
the Rev. Mr.. Governs Book.

the Rev. Mr.. Governs Book.
The London Daily Telegraph
contains the following commend
atory notice of Rev. III. III. Governs
interesting book on Hawaii, no
tice of which was published in the
ADVERTISER some months since:
1t is not always that travellers
tales agree one with another, but
every European who visits the Ha-
waiian Islands describes them in
terms almost glowing enough to pro.
woke general exodus of our damp
troubled, climate-harassed people
into these regions of eternal sum-
mer. Following closely upon Sir
Edwin Arnold's eloquent descrip
tions of Gan Earthly Paradise in
mid ocean comes the Rev. Mr.. Fl. III.
Governs volume 1.-The Paradise of
the Pacific" (Skefington), and it is
satisfactory to note that while both
authors agree in the feelings of ex-
cessive delight which first acquain.
lance with the islands gave them,
the long experience of the latter
writer hardly diminishes in the least
his appreciation of a truly wonderful
land. The fact appears to be that
while man is of equivocal perfection
in these tropical Edens, scarcely
even the splendor of an Amazon
forest can approach the natural
beauties of these great coral reef gar
dens. Mr. Gowen thinks there is far
too much political life in Honolulu,
and the supposition, rampant unfor-
tunately in other quarters of the
globe, that a young man of some
education who is not good enough
for anything else is at least good
enough to be a statesman, is doing
great harm. This and tramways and
telegraph posts lend touch of dis
appointment to the first experience
of Hawaiian city life, but behind
up country-lies a yeritable Garden
of Eden, where MIN and women are
unsophisticated and Nature lavish;
and MIR. Gowen, the latest of the for
tunate adventurers who have ex-
plored its beauties, declares that an
Arcadian life may be enjoyed as it
cannot be enjoyed anywhere else
upon earth.
The book which is delightful
specimen of the printers art, is on
sale at the store of the Hawaiian
News Co.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House re-assembled at 1870.
Enn SiHoro r. or, nf tho Donl-;nn d;

The House re-assembled at 1870.
Consideration of the Banking Bill
continued.
Rep. Iosepa favored the majority
report. He did not believe in the bill.
He was sick and tired of hearing the
same stale old arguments in favor of
the bill. Every Hawaiian in the
House should oppose this bill if he
had any love for his people, for the
burden of it would fall upon the poor.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox favored consid-
ering the bill section by section.
Rep. Kamauoha argued against the
bill. 1t would drive out gold. 1t
would damage the country abroad. 1t
would prevent capital coming here.

Make n beginning.

A good woman in Philadelphia twenty
odd years ago asked two three of her
friends to join her in renting little room
where they could meet occasionally to
drink a cup of tea and consult together
how to help other women whose lot in the
world was harder than their own.
Out of that little room has grown the
stately New Century club, with it's col
lateral guilds, classes and clubs of working
women, which have helped and strength
ened many thousands.
Many readers who live in inland towns
are bew1ldered when they visit the cities
by the great libraries, hospitals, associa-
Hons for charity, education or mutual aid,
and wish hopelessly they had the same
helps to broader and higher life in their
own homes
Let them begin with u little effort, and
persist in their good work. Some good
will come from every attempt of this kind.

COLUMBUS. and Queen 1.abe,,..

AS it happened, Isabella had no money
at hand Her war with Granada had cost
prodigious sum. She found herself in
debt even to her own servants. Political
reasons, OF great weight with the resolute
Ferdinand, who was justly content with
the practical results of concentration of
power, and economical reasons. of great
weight also with the conscientious Isa-
bella, who was most anxious to bring
about some system and regularity in her
revenues, induced their refusal in view of
the fresh OUTLAWS required for the expedi-
ton, and OF the exaggerated demands for
rank and Office should the expedition yield
Its promised results. But to the friends of
the d1scoverer neither of these considera-
tions appeared sufficient to warrant the
abandonment and rejection of such mar
velous plans
As soon as Santangelo heard of the flight
of Columbus he went to the queens cham
Der and implored her to order him to re-
turn, being supported in this by the Mar
chioness of Moya. And when the queen
complained of the exOrbitant demands of
the discoverer he reminded her that the
cost would be but Il trifling consideration
IL the attempt succeeded, and if it failed
could be reduced TO next to nothing. When
to this cogent reasoning the queen objected
the emptiness of the Castilian treasury,
and the need of again pawning her jewels
TO raise the means, Santangelo unhesita-
tingly assured her of the flourishing state of
the Aragonese finances, doubtless because
of the revenues yielded by the expulsion of
the Jews, and of the resources there avail
able, promising at the same time to win
over the perpleXed and inert mind of Ferdi-
nand the Catholic.
Thereupon messengers were sent post
haste, who stopped Columbus at Il neigh
boring bridge some two leagues away and
made him turn back to Granada, where,
