but it is said that if suitable vessels
can be found they will be pur-
chased and at once placed under
the Hawaiian flag, that is if the
island authorities will grant the
registers. Many of the prominent
shipowners here are of the. opinion,
however, that the United States
Government will have something
to say in the matter and that all
vessels hosting the Hawaiian flag
after the islands had asked to be
annexed will be refused American
registers, and in that case the
American investors in British
bottoms may find that they were a
little too late.-S. F. Examiner.

THE CORONER,S INQUEST.
The Jury Bring in a Verdict In
Accordance with the Facts.

The coroner's jury empaneled
to investigate the death of d. L.
Huntsman held an inquest yester-
dav afternoon. Several witnesses
were examined but nothing new
was developed. Mrs. Hattie Niegel,
an eye witness described the
shooting, and her story was substan-
TALLY the same as the ADVERTISERS
account of the affair. Police
Captain Schlemmer testified that
Herring admitted that he shot
Huntsman. The jury brought in
verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased died from the effect of gun
shot wounds inflicted by August
Herring. The following is the
report of Drs. Wood and Peterson,
who made the autopsy:
cat your request, we, the under
signed held an autopsy on the body
of D. L. Huntsman, deceased, who
died at the Queens Hospital this 8
AN. Said autopsy was held II 80
A NJ. to day.
1--WE find the track of projectile
passing from without, inward and
slightly upward through the soft
tissues everything the lilac bone a
little above the hip joint; through
the bone and lilac and psoas muscles
within, and perforating the intes-
tines in three places. As a result
there were found within the abdomen
blood and the products Of infamma-
ton sufficient cause of death.
"Also found the path of projectile
passing from without inward and
slightly upward through the upper
Jaw just beneath the nasal septum
and into the basilar proscess at the
base of the skull, the projectile and
pieces of bone fell within the skull
before the exploring finger. It is
our opinion that had not the first
mentioned cause of death existed,
the last named wound would proba-
bly, have resulted in death. Grains
of powder were found in the skin of
the face"
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral of the late D. L.
Huntsman took place yesterday
afternoon from the Queens Hospi
tai. The funeral services were held
in small chapel contiguous to the
main building, DR.. Beckwith of the
Central Union Church officiating.
Many friends of the dead man and
others were present at the hospital
grounds when the casket was placed
in the hearse. 1t was draped with
an American flag and covered with
flowers from sympathetic hands.
Company A, of the National
Guard, turned out almost to man
to pay their last respects to their
murdered comrade. The funeral
procession was led by the Hawaiian
band, then came the firing party
with reversed arms next in line
were the members of Company A,
and DIR. Beckwith following; then
the hearse with pail bearers on
each side. Friends in carriages
brought up the rear. The body was
inferred in Nuuanu cemetery with
military honors.

OUR PIRATE ANCESTORS.

Tho Privateering ..Gentiemen" of New
 York In the Seventeenth Century.
 When it came to piracy, public opin- ion in New York was not keyed up to a pitch that could be called severe; and it is a fact that the foundations 0f some highly respectable fortunes still extant in this community were laid in success full ventures to use the euphuistic phrase of the day-''on the account Under the generously liberal rule of Gov. Fletcher 169a-S). any pirate, or any New York merchant taking a flyer in piracy, was entirely secure in his business provided he was willing to pay a fair percentage of it's profits to that high functionary (even as the modern city contractor is secure if he will stand in" with the right city otficials); be- cause of which cordial leniency matters here became such a hissing and re- proach that the home government was compelled to recall Fletcher and to send out in his place Lord Bellamont-who specifically was charged with the duty of breaking mp what elegantly was styled ''the Red Sea trade
 Much of this piracy was carried on under cover of privateering-andf from genuine privateering-which was held to be an entirely honest and legitimate business the city derived large amount of wealth. During almost the whole of the century of warfare that began in the year l6SS-when war was declared by Spain against France, and when England joined in on the Spanish side there were fine chances for private armed ventures against England's en- emies on the high seas. From this port, most notably in the fourth decade of the last century, flashing fleet of privateers went forth; and the Weekly Post Boy of that period blazes with calls ito all Gentlemen Sailors, and others, who have a mind to try their Fortunes on a Cruizing Voyage against the enemy" to enter on one or another of the private armed vessels about to put to sea- In addition to the many prizes taken by the privateers, many prizes taken by kings ships about this time the flashing Capt. Warren commanded on this station-were sent into New York to be condemned; and it is not impossible that these last netted almost as much to the ingenious merchants who had the handling of them as did the eout-and-out captures on private account.--Thomas A. Janvier. in Harper's Magazine.

 Ella Wardlaw was practicing diffi- cult Italian sonata as the eventful note was handed her. She tore it hurriedly, open, and gazed with wide-opep, be- wildering eyes upon the inclosures. The next instant they fell from her nerveless fingers.

 a Deserved Reward

The delicious fragrance of hot-house flowers floated through the half-lighted parlors like "reminiscences of the sweet manac stolidly persisted in pointing out December as the month, and the ther-
 mometer without stood uncomfortably near zero But the marble vases on either side of the fireplace were filled with roses and heliotrope, from the tropic warmth of conservatories. and

 a carved pearl, among the Jetty folds of
 Ella Wardlaw's hair as she stood smil- ing, listening to the regretful adieux of him whom the world called her lover.
 ''Good-by, Ella; I shall come again very soon."
 Miss Wardlaw's heart throbbed high. Charles Forrest had never before called her Ella and she felt triuinphantly conscious that her proud beauty and her seductive notes had very nearly
 brought him to the proposing point" One or two more such vigorous sieges, and the fortress would be her own.
 She sank, yawning, on sofa, as the door closed upon her lover, and clasped her white hands carelessly over her head.

 badly. does it? particularly as the afore- said Mrs. Charles Forrest will step into a brown-stone palace, carriage and a perfect carcanet of family diamonds.

Heigho! this husband-hunting is 8 wearisome business, after all; and rather hazardous, unless one is very skillful That reminds me-" she added, starting suddenly up, and throwing off
 her soft languor as one might lay aside a useless garment; ''I must write to Ralph Thornby tonight; if the love- stricken wretch should fulfill his hinted Iintimation of coming to see me. it might possibly be awkward" It was nearly one, and the fire had

Insect and reptile designs are reign
ing supreme for iewclry, and very at
tractive they are, too. For brcastpins,
lizards with bright green bodies set
with diamonds are seen, as are spiders,
flies and bugs of every description,
A decidedly unique and attractive pin
is little frog with bright green
spotted body, OF uamented with pearls
and eyes of brilliant little rubies.
These bug pins are made in the little
stick pins and in the large breastpins,
the latter being the handsomcr and
more expensive.
Gold pins for the hair are now highly
the most elaborate designs. A crown
of gold mounted with diamonds and
sapphires is an exceedingly handsome
| hairpin and can be worn becomingly
| with variety of coiffures. The gold
en- circlet through which the wcarcr's
hair is caught by a slender pin of tor.
toise shell mounted with gold is an
other pretty fancy.
Watches are exceedingly small and
| made in many fancy shapes and styles.
A very pretty one is tiny affair of
| blue enamel, set with jewels and worn
on the gown, being suspended by a
fancy pin. Instead of the little bow
knot which was universally used not
long ago, pins are now to be seen in
many designs. The bow-hnot, how
ever, is by no means discarded, for it is
seen handsomely set with jewels, with
knots OF every conceive ble pattern ~.
