The Canadian steamer Enterprise,
wrecked near North Point, had z7.OOO
bushels of wheat. Seven hundred
bushels were saved, but the balance Is
under water. Fishermen and others
in the vicinity, finding the wreck
abandoned, commenced taking the wet
grain. About fifty persons were
charged with taking from few BUSH
els to a hundred each. The matter Is
lab to be settled by the men paying
she breaks up. The wet wheat stolen
was only good for chicken feed, as it
had begun TO sprout An offer of 5000
was made for the cargo when there
was a prospect OF saving portion.

WITH the advent of electric street
railways and the general use Of
bicycles, the demand for horses has
decreased rapidly. Even on the
farm, machinery is dlsplacing horse
power. Every year witnesses an in
creased use of steam and electrical
power and decreased use of horses
and mules The time is nearly at
hand when there will be no demand
worth mentioning for any horses ex-
cept blooded animals for driving,
riding and draugbt purposes. The
all around nurse Of generation ago
has lost his job. The world moves
and the horse breeder who fails to
keep up with the procession would
better seek some other means Of
earning living.

THE number of employees killed o

THE number of employees killed on
the railroads every year is not a nice
subject, but it is well worth keeping
In mind, and mentioning at intervals
until something is done to check the
slaughter. Here, for example, says
the Hartford Courant, is COMPARE
son with the mortality in coal min
ing, which is claimed as hazardous
occupation. In 1892 there was in
Pennsylvania one fatal accident to
every 378 persons employed in the
coal mines, and one non-fatal accident
to every 153. But among railroad
train hands the same year one was
killed to every 115 employed, and one
hurt to every twenty-eight employed.
There is no sufficient reason for such
a record.

A STRANDED WHALE

How Vancouver Indians Float the Aquatic
Monsters to Dry Land.
At Vancouver's Isle the winter
storms blowing directly from the
north Pacific bring many whales
which, getting out Of their latitude
and fatigued with fruitless struggles,
are cast upon the coast. AS the re-
ceding tide leaves the whales they
lash their tails, unable to regain
deep water, and make low, cultural
sound as they vainly try to spout,
says the Month, The native canoes,
which are made of the trunk of a
tree followed out by fire, are in
stantly launched. The only weapon
used is barbed spear, to which is
tied a sealskin bag filed with air,
and to this rope made Of seaweed Is
attached, acting as an anchor to the
bladder Of rope. A pole is fitted into
the socket in the spear head, and so
arranged that it can easily be with
drawn, leaving the head imbcdded in
the body Of the whale. Armed with
both these primitive weapons the ma
tives set off in their fragile canoes
and cast their spears, catching back
the loose handles. In a short time
the monster is covered with sealskin
bags. When the tide begins to rise
the bladders prevent the whale from
sinking sufficiently to use his own
strength, Keeping him on the surface
Of the water. As the canoe men pull
to the shore the lines are frightened
and gradually the animal moves
slowly and steadily to the land. His
struggles to free himself are ire
mendous, but all in vain; struggling
as fish out Of water, he is hope
lessly in the power Of his Liliputian
foes. The inhabitants for miles
around crowd to the shore, singing
and beating drums made of the hol-
low bole Of tree, over which is
stretched the skin of sea lion. As
soon as the whale is brought beyond
low-water mark the work is done,
and they have only to wait till the
tide leaves it high and dry.

The Russian thistle has become
abundant over large extent Of coun-
try in the Dakotas, and has also been
found in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas, and along the
lines of railroads in Northern Illi-
nois. The plant is said to have been
brought to this country in flax seed
sown in Southeastern Dakota in 1873.
Perhaps the expenditure of 81 worth
of work in 1874 would have eradicat-
ed the now serious pest. 1t is now
doubtful il it will ever be eradicated.
When mature in September or Octo-
Der, the plant looks somewhat like
the common tumble weed Of the West.
1t is often two or three feet high and
twice as much in diameter. The
color of the mature plant is crimson.
The number Of seeds produced by one
plant often reaches many thousands.
When the plant is young it is readily
eaten by farm animals.

A GRAIN importer of Great Britain

A GRAIN importer of Great Britain,
while travelling in Manitoba recently,
gave out the valuable information at
Winnipeg that New York exporters
mix Manitoba and Argentine wheat
and sell it abroad as the best. AS
this country does not import wheat
from the Argentine Republic, 1T may
be that the mixing is done after the
wheat arrives in England. The mix
ing is always done by the other fellow.

Some Figures on the Products of Euro
pcan Vineyards.
Viticulture in this country repre-
sents only about one twentieth Of the
product Of France or Italy. France
leads in quantity produced, and Italy
in area Of vineyards. The vintage OF
1874 was the greatest ever known in
France, the product exceeding 1,S00,.
600, 900 gallons, although f1ercely
attacked by the phylloxera- The
yield declined rapidly, and has not
risen to 700, 200, 900 in many years;
yet rose last year to 1,125, 900, 900
gallons In 1877, the acreage was
$500, 242; In 1892, only 4, 527, 500; but
last year an increase OF about 25,0
acres occurred. There are no vine
yards In the northern countries of
Europe-the British Isles, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Holland, and Bel
GUM. A recent statistical statement
credits Europe with 5000, GOO acres
In vineyards, and all other parts of
the world with 10000 900 acres-a
very round and doubtless uncertain
estimate. The total area of Italian
vineyards is placed at 8, $50. 900 acres.
The average production of the past,
ten years, In millions of gallons, is
thus stated: France, 6S1; Italy, $50;
Spain, 562; Austria, Hungary, and
Germany, S3; Portugal, rs; Russia.

and Cyprus, As; Roumania, 40; Greece,
81; Switzerland, %.
The larger part Of the product OF
the United States is on the Pacific
coast, where alone the European
vines will grow. On the Atlantic
coast, by far the greater portion of
the product comes from the vineyards
of Western New York.

Joke Ends In Death.

Circus Train Nearly Wrecked.

Cook & Whitby's circus had mar
row escape from disastrous wreck
early Sunday morning near Au Sable.
When the engineer of the first section
Of twelve cars comprising the circus
train was nearing the bridge over the
An Sable River at dawn he discovered
q pile of ties laid across the rails and
covered with sand. The evident plan
was to throw the train into the river.
The plot is laid against a number of
men and boys who are said to have lost
about $500 to the gamblers following
the circus. The engineer stopped his
train just as the engine struck the ties

steel Rails.

A steel rail costs twice as much as
an iron one, but the universal use OF
the former means millions to the
farmers OF the West. 1t has enabled
railroads to use larger and heavier
cars, and the results are cheaper
freights and quicker transportation.

1.-THE Count of Monte Cristo" to be
Played Tonight.

A fair sized audience was present
last night at the Opera House to
see Dailey's Company in 'The Gel
ebrated Case" The play was
much better rendered than it was
on Tuesday night, and the different
members of the company received
merited applause, with the excep-
ton of Mr.. Lloyd, who played the
part of a duke. He looked as
much like a nobleman as Detect
ive' Wagner does, and his acting
was on a par with his looks.
The final performance of the
Daley Company will be given to-
night, when "The Count of Monte
Cristo" will be played. The house
will be large one, and as an extra
inducement Miss Gassman will
appear in the skirt dance. Mr..
DALEY and his company will leave
for home tomorrow on the Aus
tralia.

A TIRE ARMOR.
Astonishing Test of a New Impor-
tation by Harry Wooten.

tation by Harry Wooten.
Harry Wooten, of the Honolulu
Cyclery, has received an armor for
pneumatic tires that is quite a
wonderful thing in its way. 1t is
used on what are called detach-
able tires, the kind that are being
put on nearly all this years make
of machines.
AS test to this armor, Mr..
Wooten has used a wide board,
with alternate rows of barbed wire
and sharp-pointed steel nails. Over
this board, which would ruin an
ordinary tire, a wheel was ridden
some fourteen or fifteen miles.
There was sot the slightest escape
of air from the tire. The armor is
very easily applied to the wheel,
and is certainly a great protection
to bicycle riders. Mr.. Wooten will
give an exhibition of the virtues OF
his new armor at the baseball
grounds tomorrow afternoon.

A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
A Storage Passenger on the War
rimoo Attempts Suicide.

A Storage passenger on the War
rimoo put bullet through his
brain yesterday morning while the
vessel was lying alongside of the
Mail wharf His name is B. Nor
ice. Shortly after he fired the
shot he was taken to the Queens
Hospital, where he remained in an
unconscious condition throughout
the day.
But little is known of the man,
as he did not speak of himself or
his affairs to his fellow passengers,
and no cause can be assigned for
his attempt to take his own life.
The tragedy took place about
$50 o'clock yesterday morning.
Morice was in his bunk. f. B.
Hodge and another passenger were
seated at table eating their break
fast, and while doing so they asked
Morice if he did not want some
thing to eat. He did not reply,
and as quick as flash he pulled a
pistol from under his shirt, and
after aiming it at his head, fired
and fell back unconscious. He
was removed from the ship, as
previously stated.
Morice is said to be engaged in
| the cattle business. From papers
found on his person, it is learned
that he was In Seattle recently.
He was on his way to Sydney to
join a brother, who, he claims, is
employed by the Colonial Govern
ment. He is described as being of
a morose nature, and appeared to
be very respondent on several oc-
casions while the vessel was on
her way to this port. He was fond
of reading trashy novels. After
Morice reached the hospital, DR..
Cooper made an examination and
found that the ball had entered the
forehead little to the left of the
median bone. The frontal bone
was fractured, and during the day
brain matter oozed from the wound.
His recovery is very doubtful.
When his clothes were searched
about $50 in coin was found, so
fear of starvation cannot have been
| the cause of his rash act.
At II o'clock last evening the
hospital was telephoned to, and the
attendant in charge answered the
telephone. AS was the case some
time ago, this polite person an
swered that 'this was no time to
ask questions and slammed the
ear trumpet back on its hook. An
ADVERTISER man went to the hos
pital, and asked Mr.. Eckhardt
who was in charge, for some
information. Mr.. Eckhardt abso-
lutely declined to give any in
formation whatever. Consequently,
if Mr.. Morice has any friends in
Honolulu, they will not be able to
obtain any news of the mans con-
dition, unless they had the misfor-
tune to spend the night at the hos
| pital.

THE COUNCILS IN SESSION.
A Very Short Meeting and Not
Much Done.


The Councils were called to or.
der at 80, President Dole in the
chair. Present: Ministers King,
Damon and Smith, Vice-President
Wilder, Councillors Ena, Water
house, Allen, Smith, Mendonca,
Morgan, Suhr, Young and Emme-
1uth.
The minutes of the preceding
meeting were read and approved.
REPORTS.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs
presented the weekly financial
statement. Received and placed
on file.
d. B. Smith asked if arrange
ments had been made to get water
on the Makiki lots.
The Minister of Finance present.
ed the bill making special appro-
priations for the departmental use
of the Government for the biennial
period. The bill was read first
time by title and passed to its Sec
ond reading.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
First reading of the act provid-
ing for the issue of Treasury notes
of that date. Passed its first read
ing.
The bill to transfer the Insane
Asylum to the control of the Board
of Health was deferred, owing to
the absence of G. Brown.
In response to the written ques-
ton of Mr.. Emmeluth, asking
whether alterations had been per-
mitted in houses, without the per-
NIT required by law, the Minister
of the Interior replied that such
had not been the case, except in
trivial cases, such as changing a
window into a door, which the SUI
perintendent of Public Works had
not deemed to be within the mean
ing of the law.
Mr.. Waterhouse moved list oil
all cases be furnished In which
permits had been issued.
Mr.. Emmeluth cited a number
of cases in which, as he claimed
extensive alterations had been
made without a permit. He con-
tended that the law was absolutely
unjust, but it should be enforced
just the same, as that would lead
to its amendment. The Sunday
concerts by the Portuguese band
should be suppressed for the same
reason.
Attorney-General Smith said
that he thought the answer of the
Superintendent of Public Works
showed that he had been some.
what at fault, as the law was
obligatory. He had not strictly
followed the law, which certainly
needed amendment.
Mr.. Young thought the list
should be furnished, and the Super.
intendent of Public Works given a
chance to defend himself.
Mr.. Emmeluth said he had nc
animus against Mr.. Rowell but
wanted good government. He had
no business to splice piles as he
was doing. He (the speaker) pro
posed to see the work done prop
erly.
The motion of Mr.. Waterhouse
was carried.
Mr.. Emmeluth moved that q
committee of three be appointed to
take expert evidence on the work
being done at the wharf, and be
empowered to suspend work until
the Councils could pass on it.
The motion was not seconded
and the President doubted its
being in order.
Mr.. Emmeluth claimed that the
piles were too short on both ends
(Laughter). This was no laugh
ing matter. A southerly storm
would be most destructive.
At 2:15 the Councils went into
executive session.

THE Kansas Populists campaign has begun with hair-pulling, so to speak The other day Gov, Waite, of. Colorado; Gov Lewelling, Mrs. Mary Lease and Mrs. Anna Diggs appeared under one and the same canvass. When the latter's turn came to speak, she let loose some fiery untamed remarks bearing refer ence 10 infamous traitors, darting q glance full of glittering daggers at Mrs. Lease, and at the same time tying her nose into a eontemptuous hard knot. Mrs. L., burning with rage, replied with similar hot stuff, whereupon the Diggs lady in regular man fashion conveyed the informa- tion that Mrs, Lease was a "liar, liar, liar , But Mrs. I. cooly went on figuratively tearing the meta phorieal works out of little Mrs. Diggs till dinner time, when the two Governors went of in Mrs. Leases earrige.
