WORKED OUT AN IDEA.
A LOCAL JAP ADOPTS AND USES
A CHURCH FAIR SCHEME.
Fish Pond with Real Fish-Fiye Casts
For II Nickel-If the string Breaks
Bows and Arrows.

A Jap now in Honolulu served as a
waiter at church fair in California one
time. He saw the barrel OF stew with
one oyster, the $40 set OF furniture
ratified for 800, the cheap watch voted
to the most popular girl at a cost OF
many sinners. He saw all these and
thought them poor devices OF Western
civilization. Even kissing booth failed
to strike him as being much OF
scheme. Finally this shrewd little man
who had emerged from the kimono to
ill-fitting store clothes and from ever
lasting clogs to big shoes with rotten
soles, saw fish pond. Here" said lie
to himself, ''is pretty fair idea in its
way. But" he continued in thought,
''it is crude. Developed and FURNISHED
by the unrivalled genius and superior
skill OF the East, there is really some
thing in it,"
The observing Jap came to Honolulu,
perhaps to vote, mayhap to wive, GER
tainly TO improve his condition. Failing
i'll business couple Of times, an inspira-
ton placed the almost forgotten fish
pond idea at his service. The way he
utilized it was looked upon by a STAR
reporter this morning.
On Beretania street, near Smith, and
nearly opposite Kaumakapili Church
this clever Jap has established his fish
pond. In the shallow waters of zinc
lined tank two feet deep, four feet wide
and six feet long, there are 200 or more
captive gold and silver fish. They have
been seined from the streams OF Wal
kiki and cost nothing. They sport about
in lively style, and have shelter in such
realistic scenic effects as couple OF
rocks and a few plants. On a convenient
rack the proprietor has two sets OF lines.
The poles are eighteen inches long and
the lines about six inches. The hooks
are light grapnels with three barbs.
Would the visitor be pleased to invest Il
nickel? To be sure, if only for the
novelty. Take line and see if your
nerves are good, your eyes quick and
your arm steady. Get the grapnel
under the nose OF a fish. He wiggles
away at dash. Careful, careful. All,
the barb gets home. The little chap is
fast. Let him play, or the line will part.
He is game and makes a fighting strug-
gle. Now he is worn and seems ex-
hausted He only pants as you raise
him from the tank and remove the
singing hook.
If you pay your nickle and catch five
without the line parting they are
yours. If the line breaks, even on the
fifth, you get no fish. The Jap says it
is sport. He has many customers who
by patronage say that it is pastime
with science and skill in it, 1t is a
novelty.
Upstairs on the corner of Beretania
and Nuuanu avenue a high class Jap
conducts dainty archery. The range
Is prettily fitted up and the bows, ar
rows and targets are inviting. Ten
shots for five cents is the rate. If the
place were not over saloon ladies
would visit it. Everything is in minia-
ture. Robin Hoods practices have
been adapted to Japanese methods. For
the first few shots the arrow will fly
wild. After that you can strike the
target quite often.

There BE- haunted vessel in the har.
bor. The siaunch ship Occidental,
Morse master, has "a ghost. The restless
spirit is that oi Captain Williams. lie
was murdered ou deck six years ago.
The ship was ON % voyage from Liver
pool 10 some South American port.
From the day ~ sailing the mixed crew
before the mast had been unruly. One
night when Captain Williams was for
ward "a devil uf sea desperate ran n
long knife into his back. The officer
staggered toward his cabin for a weapon.
He fell near the second aft hatch aud
quickly expired. The point OF
the blade had reached his heart.
All this happened near the equator
The mate took charge Of the ship, but
was unable TO make peace with the
crew. The Occidental was put into a
port and the murderer and two OF his
coniederates turned over TO an American
consul. They were sent to San Fran
cisco. an san Quentin for life" is the
killed Captain Williams.
Mr.. Morse gives his crew as eighteen
all told" The men in the forecastle see
the ghost OF Captain Williams fire.
quently. OF Molokai, the night before
the Occidental was towed to the Pacific
Mail dock, there was great commotion
forward. The man on watch and two
Others who hurried above when he
called, declare they saw Captain Will
liams on deck. They give a perfect de-
scription OF the dead man. They say he
looked ahead intehtly for several seconds,
turned as ii to give orders, uttered a
short agonizing groan, staggered amid
ships and disappeared. Every man
forward corroborates this account. The
ghost has no regular time OF visiting.
Aft on the Occidental they dol not
believe in the ghost. In this part
OF the big vessel there il neat
and happy home. Captain Morse has
his family along. A boy of IS or II
and girl of l2 were born at sea and
care for no other residence. Captain
Morse is an old friend of Captain God
frey of the Inter-Island Company. They
had not met for thirty years until last
week. During the war they were
closely associated, being in Southern
waters together. A few years ago they
were for half an hour on the same dock
at San Francisco. Neither knew of the
presence of the other till several hours
had separated them by many miles,
Captain Morse says Of his Honolulu
friend that he looks as young and is
good natured as he was thirty years
ago. During that period even his cap
ture by Confederates didn't ruifle his
even temper.

An Appropriation Bill Considered in the
 senate-Eulogies In the House on the
 Late Representative Houck.
 WASHINGTON, July 16.-Mr. Allen, the populist senator from Nebraska, appeared in his seat Saturday and took occasion to arise to a question of per sonal privilege. He denied the news paper reports that he was recently in- toXicated.
 Consideration of the legislative, exec utive and judicial appropriation bill was resumed, but it was not passed, owing to the tendency of some senators to filibuster and the lack of quorum, and at 4:15 the senate adjourned.
 The house transacted no business Saturday before the hour arrived which had been set apart by special rule for eulogies in honor of the late Representative George w. HouclS, of Ohio. Many speeches were delivered.
