The Steamer Mikahala Cuts OFF
the Stern of an Island Vessel.
THE MARY z. FOSTER OUT OF SIGHT.
The Vessels Meet At Midnight In the
Channel-The Disaster is said to be
Due to a Mates NegIigenee-No Lives
Lost BY the Unfortunate Accident.

On last Tuesday, about midnight,
the steamer Mikahala and the
schooner Mary E. Foster collided
in the channel between Kauai and
this island. The bow of the steamer
struck the port side of the schooner,
near the stern, and cut off the end
as neatly as if it had been done by
a saw. The schooner began to
settle at once, and at the end of
three-quarters of an hour she sank
completely out of sight. Captain
Hipa and the crew of the Mary E.
Foster were taken on board of the
Mikahala and carried as far as
Koloa, where they were picked up
by the Iwalani and returned to this
port.
The particulars of the disaster
are about as follows: The Mikahala
left this port on last Tuesday after
noon for Kauai and Niihau. The

weather was favorable, and the
moon was shining. At midnight
Captain Haglund came on deck, as
it was the hour for changing the
watch. He went aft first, and
when returned forward he noticed
a sail right ahead of the steamer.
He jumped into the wheel-house
and turned the helm in order to
avoid a collision, but the vessel did
not answer her helm quickly
enough, and the bow of the steamer
crashed into the vessel. The second
mate was on watch at the time, and
it will be difficult matter for him
TO prove that the collision was not
his fault. His excuse is said to be
that the foresail was mp and inter
fered with his sight. Then another
story is, that he thought the vessel
which was bearing down on him
was the James Makee OF some other
island steamer, and he did not
think it was necessary to shift the
helm. As soon as the schooner was
struck, her cabin and hold rapidly
filled with water, and it was but
the work of few moments to drop
a boat into which the crew bundled
and pulled for the Mikahala. Cap
tain Hipa remained on his vessel
until the last moment, and did not
leave until Captain Haglund as
sured him that his schooner would
go to the bottom of the sea.
Captain Hipa made an effort to
get out of the way of the steamer
but the wind was not heavy
enough at the time, and while his
vessel was sailing at an angle with
the steamer she was struck. If he

not confined to the newsboys and little
people by any means. 1t is played by
grown men, particularly of the colored

An Unwarranted UprORr at an 1nterna-

Recent events have afforded no bet
ter and no more conspicuous 1lIustra-
ton of the value of tolerance with re-
spect to the utterances of others than
was furnished at the late international
congress of miners in Berlin.
The polyglot character of the assem-
blage is indicated by the fact that an
Englishman, Frenchman and a Ger
man had been selected as presiding of
ficers for the day. The Frenchman
refused to serve, and his refusal was
translated to the delegates by the in
terpreters.
When his remarks had been turned
into the various tongues they were of
fensive to many of the delegates, and
MANY of them, each in his own lam
guage, shouted angry remonstrance.
In the uproar not only nationality,
but politics and religion became the
SUSPECTS of violent harangues, and
the session closed at the dinner hour
with chaos predominating.
After dinner the delegates were n
better moods. They discovered that
the remarks of the Frenchman who
did not want to preside were not SO
irritating as the interpreters had made
them. Apologies were offered and ac-
cepted all around, and even the French
delegate whose talk had started the
confusion made a polite speech and
took his seat with the other presidents.

Too many women seem to be under
the impression that nothing can be ac-
complished in the direction of self-im-
provement of their fellow beings or
their conditions without the organiza-
ton of society or club furnished with
a set of officers and committees, a con-
stitution and bylaws No greater mis-
take Is possible 1t would be foolish to
deny the efficacy of organization which
is well illustrated by the old fable of
the father who gave his son a bunch
of little sticks TO break, upon which
each tried his strength in vain But
when unbound and allowed to fall
apart the sticks were easily snapped
in two one at time 1t Is undoubtedly

attract the first attention of the trav-
eler. Sometimes they are low, and
scattered in countless numbers over
the plain. giving ir the aspect of vast
churchyard. Then again they loom up
ghostlike from the grass in the shape
of obeliskS, locking gruesome in the
evening dusk or in mOonlit nights.
The builders of these hills are small
insects with yellowish-white, thick
bodies and elongated, comparatively
large chests of greasy brown color. In
reality they are not ants, but belong to
a far lower class of insects. They are
ugly-loolzing little fends, and the
natives as well as the travellers, hate
them worse than any other insect.
''One can really say" writes one
traveller, that there are places in At
RIGA where one can go to sleep in the
evening with a wooden leg and see it
changed in the morning TO sawdust."
Such is the destructive work of the
white ants. They gnaw through every
thing-the timber of houses tables.
chairs and beds, and a strong wooden
chest may be eaten through in one
night. Books, leather, cloth, every
thing Is their spoil with The exception

which are being imported into Africa
for building purposes. The traces of de-
struction can be found everywhere, but
the destroyers themselves are rarely
visible. The termites go about their
work in a sly and treacherous manner.
They are blind: only the king and
queen have yes With the exception OF
the wa rriors they are also lcfenseless,
and this is the reason why they are so
rarely seen. Yet they have to leave
their subterranean abodes and look for
deadwood, if they do not want to
starve.
If one chances to observe such an in
sect on one of its exploring tours he
may enjoy a remarkable sight. It goes
ahead slowly, but steadily. There is
small opening in the ground, out of
which energies a little head with
piece of earth in its mouth. The piece
is deposited, and soon second head
appears with another particle, which
is covered with a glutinous secretion.
This is being glued to the first building
stone and in this way the untiring Ia
borers build an earthen tube, while the
