ALASKA AND JAMAICA
A FAR CRY IN FANCY, BUT A SHORT
WALK IN FACT.

The Columbian Exposition Brings the Fro
zen North and the Tropics Together-War
Canoes and odd Blankets, Santa Cruz
Rum and Some hing Better Than Coffee.
For patriotic reasons, if for no other, the
Alaskan exhibit in the northwest corner
gallery of the United States government
building at the Worlds fair ought to be
visited by more people. 1t is one of the
most neglected corners of the big fair, and
yet it. contains many interesting things and
represents an outlay of thousands of dol
lars and years of labor. 1t affords unrival-
ed opportunities for research to the student,
and one may occasionally be seen wander
ing languidly about with a notebook in
hand. But there is much of interest to the
general visitor also, and more wide awake
people ought to drift around and take it in.
The most striking object in the collection
is the great war canoe, which attracts the
attention of all who enter the Government
building. 1t is of red cedar, and though
80 feet long and feet wide was dug from
the center of a single tree trunk. Many
other odd looking boats, such as the natives
use for fishing and hunting otter and seal
are suspended about the gallery, and there
are any number of quantity carved utensils
for domestic use and articles of personal
adornment. There is quite an elaborate
collection of pipes, some of wood and Others

At the other end of the building, how
ever, is room not so easy of entrance 1t
is guarded constantly by watchful French
men, and no one is permitted to enter with
out pass signed byone of the commission
ers The room contains the Lafayette relics,
and they are watched with the most Jealous
care. The greater number of these relics were
gifts to the great Frenchman while he was in
this country taking part in the war of the
Revolution and during his visit in the year
1924. Many o; them were given to him as
souvenirs by one or another of the great
men of that time and are thus doubly
precious in the eyes of patriotic people OF
both nations.
There is a pair of pistols once the prop
erty of Washington and presented by him
to Lafayette, and there are two rings con-
tanning some of Washington's hair, given
to the noble Frenchman by w. Park Gus
tbs. A dress sword worn by Benjamin
Franklin at the French court and subse-
quently given by him to Lafayette looks as
bright as if it had but just been made, and
there are two original busts by Houdon-
one of Washington and one of Lafayette.
The copy of the Declaration of Independ-
ence presented to Lafayette by congress in
1924 is in the collection. 1t is an engrav-
border the arms of the - original states.
Portraits of Washington, Hancock and
Jefferson adorn the upper portion. The
autograph letter of President John Quincy
Adams transmitting the declaration lies
beside it, and there is also an autograph
letter by Thomas jefferson, which, though
merely letter of introduction for Mr.
Lawrence, a citizen of distinction of the
state of New York - is as Interesting ns
anything in the room.
Writing of the Declaration printed on

years of age. The date was re-
membered by few Of his many
friends, among them President
Dole, who called to pay their re-
spects to the venerable patriarch,
who is one of the oldest foreigners
living on these islands. Mr.. Cas-
tie came to Honolulu in 1896, as
the financial agent of the Ameri-
can Board, which position he filled
for some twenty years, when he
went into business with the late
Amos S. Cooke, under the firm
name of Castle & Cooke, which has
for some years been among the
leading business firms Of this city
engaged in the importation Of mer-
chandise and also as sugar factors.

SAILORS CONCERT.

A large and enthusiastic audi
ence attended the complimentary
concert rendered the sailors of the
Z. s. s. Boston and Adams at the
Y. NJ. C. 4. hall Thursday. Sec
rotary Corbett, of the association,
offciated in very satisfactory
manner, being ably assisted by Mr..
H. F. Wichman. The entertain
ment opened with a piano solo by
Miss Castle, which was executed in
such 8 manner as to merit hearty
applause. Mr.. Wakefield followed
with a song from one of the popu-
lar operas. Mr.. Wakefield was in
excellent voice, and added to his
already excellent reputation as a
singer. The club swinging of Prof.
Tuney was one of the most inter-
esting features of the evenings
entertainment and deserving of
special mention. The violin
solo by Mr.. Posen, and
the song by Miss Glade, were
both we'll rendered and eneored.
The flute solo by Mr.. L. Barsotti
was especially well rendered and
also received an encore. The en-
tertainment was concluded with
several songs by a quartette of
colored sailors, which caused no
end of good-natured amusement to
those present. After the programme
had been concluded, refreshments,
consisting of ice cream and cake,
were served to the sailors and others
present. Captain Nelson of the
Adams, and several officers of both
the Boston and Adams, graced the
occasion by their presence. Taken
as & whole, the entertainment
proved to be one of the most plea
SAINT ever given in this city.

Chinese by the Picking.

Thirty-fve Chinese were landed
from the steamer City of Peking
last week. The customs authori-
ties refused a landing to two Celes-
tials, one of which had fraudulent
return certificate. The other one
claimed to be a naturalized Hawai-
ian subject, and had naturalization
papers in his possession which were
proven to belong to some other per-
son. A writ Of habeas corpus was
sworn out in order to get them
ashore, but the papers did not ar
rive until the steamer had pulled
away from the dock. A small boat
was procured and those connected
with the matter rowed out to the
ship, but the captain of the steamer
refused to deliver up the Cinnamon,
and as a consequence they are now
on their way to San Francisco.

THE OLD HARTFORD.
She May Come Here and Relieve
the Boston.

The Washington Star of a late
date says there is a probability of
the old historic war ship being
reftted to go to Honolulu to relieve
the Boston. Commodore HIGH
born says the ship would be spe-
cially valuable in those parts of the
world where the docking facilities
are few and costly. Her bottom is
covered with copper, and she would
be able to stand long confinement
in Pacific waters without docking.
This quality would make her a
good ship to keep at place like
Honolulu, and if commissioned she
will probably be sent to that i'm
portant port.

usual precautions in accepting and

He held there was nothing libelous in
the article per Sc The testimony rs TO
the conditions existing in Gustemala
was affirmative, the testimony of the
prosecution was negative. The carry
ing Of revOlverS and knives had been
proved, together with the shooting Of
Iaborers. The rest of the article was
matter of opinion. If Captain Fer
guson was tender on these points, he
was exceedingly sensitive. Captain
Ferguson had not refuted Cloy's state
ments nor those Of witnesses. Read the
law of libel, and pointed out that
there was no direct tendency of the al
legged article TO libel.
Mr.. CREIGHTON held that the queS-

submitted there was more than pro-
bable cause. Read and commented

ant for trial before the circuit court.

PACIFIC LINERS.
Relative Merits Of American and
English Built Vessels.

Philip Hichborn, naval oonsruc-
tor, has some interesting things to
say in the North American Review
about the large steamers that touch
at Honolulu. Regarding the City
OF Picking, which left this port last
Wednesday, he says she is better
and much more profitable steamer
than the China. The former was
built in Philadelphia in 1874 and
the latter in Glasgow in 1889. The
City of Peking at Is knots en- hour
win consume only IS tons Of coal a
day, while the China at the same
speed will use up 81 tons. The
more modern built English boat is
a way behind the American craft in
point of economy Of fuel.
Quoting Mr.. Hichborn's lines is
the following: Taking a few in
stances Of well-known American
built steamers, we find the Louisi-
ana, of 2S40 tons, consuming only
81 tons at a speed of AZ knots
the Mariposa, 315S tons, burning
so tons to make la knots,
and the San Pablo, 3l19
tons, requiring only SO tons
at Is knots, and 40 tons to make
IA knots. Then there is the Aus
tralia, 27S0 tons, a British steamer
chartered for the San Francisco
and Melbourne route, originally
fitted with compound engines, and
with consumption Of 53 tons Of
coal, making only II knots. In
1889 her engines and boilers were
removed, and new triple expansion
engines and boilers carrying 100
pounds, were built in San Fran
cisco and put in the ship. With
this new machinery, she is nov
making Il knots on an expendi-
ture of only 81 tons. From these
examples it would appear as if
American marine engine-builders
have a considerable share Of the
knowledge of which Scotch build
ers claim a monopoly; while the
performance of the old City Of
Picking would indicate that our
marine engineers know more of the
economics of steamship perform
ance than the Clyde builders. -

to Form One Here.

Secretary Corbett of the Y. NJ. e.

bers of the different base ball clubs,
are agitating the question of organ
izing lacrosse club in this city.
Much encouragement has already
been received in this direction from
the number Of persons who have
been spoken to in regard to the mat
ter. Lacrosse is the national game of
Canada and is being played to a
considerable extent throughout the
United States, and is proving to be
a very popular form Of athletic re-
creation.
Secretary Corbett informs the
ADVERTISER that about 800 will
be required to equip the players
with sticks, ETC., and that he in
tends making a canvass among the
business men of the city and ask
their cooperation toward this end.
The sum Of SIS has already been
collected, and it is to be hoped that
the remaining portion of the de-
sired sum will be forthcoming at
an early date. Mr.. Corbett has
consented to instruct those who
may desire to learn the game of
lacrosse free of charge.

plugs in making exit or entrance,
and die in the attempt from the
effects Of the Paris green. The

am in no way responsible. The
statements made in this article are
unkind and untrue, and I feel COM
PEELED to make a reply, not for my

Messrs. W. G.. Irwin E Co. The
stockholders of the Reciprocity
Sugar Co. have employed me to
arrange its affairs, and l have had
several interviews with Mr.. Irwin,
all of which have been of a very
pleasant nature, and he has made
some exceedingly liberal offers in
order to arrange a settlement Of
this account-one of which was to
wipe out $4,000 of the amount due

STEAMER WAIMANALO.
She viii Likely Prove TO be a
Total Wreck.

The steamer Waimanalo, owned
by Captain C. Dudoit, and COM
manded by him, got aground at
Keawanui, about four miles from
Waialua on Wednesday night. The
vessel did not have any cargo on
board at the time of her grounding.
The captain and his crew made re-
peated attempts to float the steamer,
but they finally gave that up as
hopeless. Mr.. Gaspar Silva, who
keeps a store at Mokuleia, about
one mile from the place where the
Waimanalo went ashore, telephoned
at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon
that the Waimanalo was up high
and dry and lying on her beam
ends at low tide. Mr.. Silva also
affirmed that he had sailed a small
schooner over the spot where the
Waimanalo is now aground and
crossed the coral barrier all right.
He did not deem that the Wanna
nalo was in very dangerous posi-
ton, and at the time Of telephoning
he could not see anybody moving on
board the steamer and he sup
posed that they were down below.
Captain Dudoit went over to Waia-
lua during the day and saw Dep
uty Sheriff Amara.
