BOUND FOR THE VOLCANO.
The Kinau Departs Without Miss
Helen Wilder.

The season for visitors from
abroad is now fairly opened and it
is expected that business at the
Volcano House will be rushing for
some time to come. One of the
largest parties which has left this
city for the crater left Tuesday
afternoon on the Kinau. There were
about twenty-six people all told in
the party. There was a large
crowd of people on the wharf to see
the vessel depart, but owing to an
interesting circumstance she did
not get away until 2:39 o'clock.
About 2 o'clock summons was
served on Miss Helen Wilder, who
intended to leave, to appear at once
before the Circuit Court as a wit
ness in the Cartwright divorce
case now before Judge Whiting.
Miss Wilder had her baggage re-
moved from the vessel, and the
Kinau departed without her.

The Value of a Cable.

1t illustrates the need of a Pa
cific cable that the news of the two
most important events in the Ha-
waiian episode passed between
Washington and Honolulu only
after travelling backward round the
globe some $1,000 miles in order
to compass a direct distance of
some 5000 miles. The news of the
decision of President Cleveland to
attempt the restoration of the
queen reached Hawaii first by
steamer from New Zealand, having
travelled by telegraph under the
North Atlantic and through the
whole of Europe, Asia and Aus
tralia to reach the port from which
the steamer sailed. Similarly, the
first news that the Provisional
Government refused to accede to
the Presidents demands reached
Washington by steamer from Homo
lulu to New Zealand, and thence
by telegraph back over the same
roundabout route. 4 cable $500
miles long, from Honolulu to San
Francisco, would have saved q, 900
miles of Geographic and steamship
travel and about two weeks of time
in each instance-New York Sun.

IN DETROIT.
President Dole's Picture Received
With an 0utburSt of Applause.

Mr.. Frederick Stearns of Detroit,
who made quite a long visit in
these Islands a couple of years ago,
has lately given an illustrated lee
ture on Hawaii for the benefit of
Detroit orphan asylum. The lee
ture is described by the Free Press
as very entertaining and success
full, as it melted $3.50 for the chart
table object. The slides used were
partially prepared in the United
States from negatives made by Mr..
Stearns himself, but most of them
were the work of Mr.. Hederman, of
this city, and they were described
by experts as of the highest quail
ity.
Among the pictures shown was
portrait of President Dole, which
was received with an outburst of
applause from the audience. Other
pictures were exhibited illustrating
various phases of the revolution.
Mr.. Stearns is a man of great
intelligence and he learned a great
deal about Hawaii during his visit
here.

the value to health of the pure liquid

1t has given satisfaction to millions and

every Objectionable substance.

Difficulties in the Way.

II wonder if you will be as much
surprised as l was, the other day,
when ! learned that women are only
partially eligible TO benefit by an ac-
cident insurance policy?" asks cor
respondent. at is true that a wOm-
an may take out such a policy: and
If she is killed outright in some kind
of disaster, her heirs may profit by IT.;
so long as the breath Of life can he
kept In the body the woman herself
gets nothing. Two points are adj
vanced in explanation of this course.
In the first pace it is presumed that
accident insurance is only for people
who are deprived of the whole or a
part of their income because of in
Jury received. and it is also presumed
that women are not selfsupporting
and that their income is not affected
If they are hurt. The second point
is this: Although there are more men
hurt in the aggregate than women,
women are more liable to e hurt,
consequently the companies decline
to take what they consider, in their
theory, at least, heavy risks"

Ants Larccr Than Foxes.

Pliny, that rare old go:slper, tells,
among his rather extraordinary sto-
lies, In t. of the Bactrian method Of
obtaining god The saOdy deserts
of BaCtra in the days Of that histo-
rian were, 20 the old man says, liter
ally swarming with ants slightly
bigger than foxes" These gigantic
representatives of the genus homen-
optera burrowed deepy into the
sandy wastes, their tunnels and gal
leries often being hundreds OF feet 10
extent. The. earth removed from
these burrows was always carried to
the outside and thrown up in hills
(remember Pliny says this) "Of a big
ness exceeding that of a palace.
This debris-:and, earth, etc. was
soon found to be wonderfully rich In
small nuggets of gold. The danger
from the ants was greater, however,
than that from the Indians in the
early days of gold digging In the
western United States, and many
stories are told Of men who were lit
orally devo red in few moments by
the fierce owners Of some disturbed
burrow. Some observing old hunter
at last discovered that the giant ants
slept during the hottest hours OF the
day. After that the seekers after
the yellow metal only made their in
cursions at the proper time, and even
then they only stayed long enough IN
the deserts to fiji their sacks With
the golden sand, which they took
home to sift at leisure. With all
this precautiOn the ants often swift
ly pursued the feetest horses, and it
was only by using various stratagems
that the invaders managed to escape
alive"

No such Thing as Friendship.

There's nothing in glory and friends,
saws ex-senator Charles B. Farwell. l
can count my friends on my hands, and
thew are members Of my own fam
iiv There's not such a thing as
friendship in this world. What you
call friends are butterflies. They
hover around you in the sunshine. and
when the shadows come they dlsap-
near. If a man is successful and per-
fectly Independent OF everybody they
fawn. smile, toady, and insist on doing
something to help him. If he, gets a
tumble they Immediately lend their
assistance to keep him rolling to the
bottom Of the hill. When you really
need them, they de.ert you, and have
no faith in you. Friendship is all the
ory. If myself want to make first
class enemy all have to do is to helPa
man who is in deep trouble. VIII he
be grateful? He will hate me in the
end becau. | am in position to be OF
service to him, and have placed him
under that much obligation.

THE TARIFF REVENUES.

which amount 10 a loss OF over $40 100000.

STAMP COLLECTORS.
Thoy Were Not Desired in the Portland
PostofIice,

1hCy were MOI desired IN the EOrCtuuu
Postofice,
Persons engaged in making cOllec-
tions of postage stamps should not
obtain situations in the pOstOffice, as
two subordinate employees In that in
stitution here have just been dis
charged on this account, says the
Portland Oregonlan. For some time
complaints have been made that
stamps were taken from letters and
packages before they were delivered,
and at last this became a regular
nuisance. 1t was not possible to
find out who was taking the stamps,
so the matter was put In the hands
of an inspector, and after cOnsidera-
BILE trouble he ascertained that car
rier and distributor were the Gull
prits. -
Sometimes stamps were taken OIL
letters or packages, and sometimes
the carrier would go cut OF his way
to deliver letters with foreign or rare
stamps to beg the stamps from the
owner. Sometimes packages ac-
dressed to persons not known here
were thrown into the waste basket In
order that the stamps might be ap-
propriated. Foreign stamps and c.
lumbar stamps of the higher de-
nominations were the ones chiefly
desired.
Persons making collections OF
stamps frequently have letters sent
to them from "out-of-the-way' coun.
tries merely to get the stamps, and
when their letters turned up minus
the stamps there was trouble. Some
times letters arrive at the office here
with the stamps gone, showing that
there are stamp collectors at other
Offices AS soon as it was found out
who the culprits were the depart
ment ordered their dismissal from
the service.
