Extracts From Private letter
by the Last NaiI.

An old subscriber, residing in the
good old nutmeg State, closes 4
letter, in which was remittance of
his annual subscription, with these
pleasant words, which graduates of
old Yale will appreciate:
1--WE were exceedingly sorry to
part with Carter and Robertson Of
the law school, and would be quite
willing to bestow one little left
handed blessing on the free sugar
"claws" of the Mckinley bill for
their sake and all others who felt
the pressure when all your subtan-
tial benefits from the reciprocity
treaty were swept away by that
best tariff bill the world ever knew.
But our loss is Honolulu's gain,
surely, and / hereby congratulate
you on having them with you again
for keeps. Here is long life and
prosperity to the new firm of Garter
& Carter, attorneys-at-law, and If
you are determined to bite and de-
YOUR one another at law, may they
both be in it on one side or the
other, or both sides, and get the
lions share when the final dizzy is
made. Not that we have no good
stock left from Hawaii in the City
of Elms. In the words of Oliver
Wendell Holmes:
sDon'ty you believe there's no more fat,
Lots in the kitchen rs good as that"
"And the chancellor's two sons
very soon to arrive to keep both the
numbers and quality of the Hawai-
ian Club up to the standard mark.
"Yale University is still flourish
ing, and when the two new build
ings now about to be erected are in
place, some of the Yale graduates
of the '5Os and '60s, who are with
you, will wonder where they are
at when they next visit the old
campus" KAMAAINA.

Alp feet, beam IS feet, draught "A

Fully 10000 persons were present,

son and other officials from Wash
ington. The vessel was christened

New YORK, July 30.-The
United States gunboat Bennington
will sail tomorrow for the Mediter-
ranean. Her mission abroad is to
enable her commander to investi-
gate the charges relating to the
persecution of American mission
aries in Asia Minor. Upon leaving
Europe the Bennington sailed for
Montevideo in the south Atlantic.
VALLEJO, Aug. 5.-The United
States ship Thetis has been Ie-
ported ready for sea, and now
awaits order from the navy depart
nhes1t. It is understood that the
Thetis will be assigned to survey
duty on the Central American

SAN Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE
battleship Oregon is now COM
pleted with the exception of plac-
ing her armor in position. Had
the necessary material not been
delayed by the government she
would have been launched two
months ago. She will be launched
on either October 26th or Novem-
Der Goth.
ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 11.-Society
circles in Atlanta and throughout
Georgia are agog over the rumor of
the engagement Of Miss Sarah
Brown to Secretary Of the Navy
Herbert. While the members of
the Brown family say there is no
truth in the rumor they say it in a
way that leads inquirers to believe
that there is, at least good deal
of reason for the rumor. Miss
Brown is the charming daughter of
Senator Joseph Brown. She is a
brilliant and highly accomplished
woman who spends the greater part
of her time in travel. The story is
that Secretary Herbert met her
while at Chicago, and that it is a
case of love at first sight. Senator
Brown is probably the wealthiest
man in Georgia, and his daughter
is very wealthy in her own right.

EX-CONSUL PRATT.
BE Refuses to Express an Opin
iou on Political Matters.

Ex-Hawaiian Consul-General F.
S. Pratt, who returned by the Mono
wal last Friday from San Fran
cisco, is confined to his home by an
attack of acute rheumatism.
An ADVERTISER reporter called on
him a few days ago aud requested
an interview.
Mr.. Pratt informed the news
paper man that he did not intend
to say anything for publication,
and that he was going to be as
close-mouthed and uncommunica-
tive as was Minister Blonut. The
ex-consul said, however, that the
newspapers in the United States had
distorted and criticized his actions
to such an extent as to cause him
a greet deal of anxiety, and for
this reason ne would not speak on
political matters. Mr.. Pratt did
say that so many lies had been
written of affairs here that it would
be an impossibility for anyone to
get the straight of things, and
added finally that, so far as the
Provisional government was con-
cerned, he did not care to express
an opinion.
The reporter noting that Mr..
Pratt was suffering intensely, did
not press him for a further express
sion of opinion. The ex-consul is
not looking as well as his usual
wont, and has not been seen Oh the
street since his arrival. Mr.. Pratt
intimated that he would return to
the Coast in a short time.
