National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER tbs laws 80
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

Mr.. John 4. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex~
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 5000 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by go in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by its use the extrac-
tion has been increased from
3 per cent. to 5per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases 80 per cent. has been
reached; the average being Is
to IS per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part. of it
being hard ratoons.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"

HOW MARINERS LOOK AT IT.
Advantages of Honolulu as Opposed
TO San Francisco.
No Delay from Fogs Head Winds
Rough Bar and Gales
at Frisco.

Mr.. EDITOR My attention being
drawn to your editorial of this date
concerning Nicaragua, San Fran
cisco and Hawaii, coupled with the
article published in your issue of
July Sd, in which Captain Sigsby
demonstrates that San Francisco
is 373 miles nearer the Orient than
Honolulu. Admitting the distances
to be shorter, [ beg to offer for pub
LEGATION a few remarks thereon.
The bare statement of 373 miles
shorter is completely shorn of all
the unfavorable possibilities at
tached to San Francisco as a port
of call, and the favorable condi-
tons of Honolulu are not even
mentioned. First, a steamship
sails from Brito to call at San
Francisco. She arrives off the Far
rallones in a dense fog (for ex-
ample S. S. Monowai's last voyage,
distance % hours), and, as the
majority of steamships calling at
that port will be under a foreign
flag, the chances are the steamships
will be delayed by unfavorable cir
cumstances, as it takes special
training in a commander to perform
the feat of entering the Golden
Gaze in fog.
Surprising there is no fog, but
the bar is so rough the steamship
cannot cross. Delay again. And
these are contingencies that very
often arise. Previous to the steam
er's arrival off the bar, it is posi-
BILE she may have to buck against
a gale blowing from thirty to forty
five miles per hour. More delay.
And, after bucking the gale from
eighteen to thirty hours, the COM
mander may find himself saddled
with one or both of the former con-
tingencies.
Now, what value has the 373
miles assumed? Not the value of
three ciphers. The element of
safety to life and property is here
left out.
What has become of the rival
captain who would call at Ho-
nolulu? He arrives, enters the
harbor at once, does his business
and departs. He has experienced
no delay from fogs, gales or rough
bar. There has only been one case
in ten years when an ocean steam
Ship could not cross Honolulu bar.
When the Nicaragua canal is
opened, the competition in the carry
ing trade will be so great that ship
owners will not lose sight of the
advantages to be gained by calling
at Honolulpyproviding we offer the
same inducements and facilities
that others do. I IN conclusion, the
steamer calling at Honolulu bound
to Yokohama has to perform only
a fraction more than one-half knot
per hour to keep up with her rival
which called at San Francisco.
This is assuming both steamers
have a speed of 13 knots per hour.
Enough has been stated to prove
the steamer calling at Honolulu
has every advantage in winds,
weather and sea, with no proba-
bility Of delay at Honolulu.

THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.

Constructor BOwles' Recommended
tiHns Approved by Secretary Herbert.
After careful consideration Secretary Her.
bert detailed Naval Constructor Francis L.
Bowles to take charge of the construction
and repair departm ent at the Brooklyn navy
yard because of the latters administrative
ability and capacity to get a fair days work
out of the force under him for a fair day s
pay. While Mr.. Bowles was in charge of
the construction department at the Norfolk
ravy yard it was found that work at the
latter yard cost % per cent less than SINH
lar work at the New York yard. Mr.. BoWleS
has been in charge at the Brooklyn navy
yard for about six months, and there are
many instances to show that he is gradual
ly bringing the force under him up to the
standard that is desirable so far as cost of

concerned
Secretary Herbert is in full sympathy
with the general ideas of Constructor
BowleS to place the construction depart
ment at the Brooklyn navy yard on bust
ness basis, and has approved of practically
all recommendations that have tended to
further such result Mr. Bowles has
recommended that charge be made in the
positions of master Shipfitter inside, mas

shipsmith in the department of which he
has charge, stating generally that the men
d lnese pos to' have not the force,
energy nor the mechanical ability to con-
duct the work and carry on its details salts
factorily, and that the interests of the SER
vice require men of more general capacity
to properly administer the duties which
are required of them.
Secretary Herbert, upon the receipt of
this recommendation, which was approved
by the commandant, has declared the posi-
tons above named vacant, and a COMPETE

FIGHTING FOR CUBA.
Cant, Roemer of the Busch ZOuavcs
Heard From.

Heard FROM.
The mystery Surrounding the disappearance
November Is of Capt. Rosser Roemer, who
was in command of the famous Busch Zou-
ayes of st. Louis, has been solved. He is now
in Cuba al the head of band of 200 Amer
leans fighting for Cuban independence, and
with him is Sergt. Frank Hilligas, also d
member of the Zouaves.
When Rosser Roemer left st. Louis osten-
sibly to visit the Atlanta exposition it was
quietly whispered among his friends that his
destination was much more remote than the
metropolis of Georgia. 1t was known that
about the same time certain leaders in the
Cuban cause, with whom Capt. Roemer had
been in consultation, had left the city.
Yesterday came the confirmation of the
story.
A close friend of Capt Roemer received a
letter direct from the Cuban seat of war. 1t
is dated Havana, Cuba, Nov %, 1895 Much
of the contents are of a private character,
but the principal portion is as follows:

Chance to Get Smoke.
From London TidBits.
The captain of certain large sailing
vessel is probably the most polite officer
in the whole mercantile service. He has,
however, a great idea of his Importance,
ard loses no opportunity of impressing 1t
upon his crew. In particular he insists up
on being addressed as sir by every one
on board. One day a new hand Joined the
ship, and short time after leaving har-
Dor, being 4 seasoned old salt, he was in
trusted with the wheel. The captain came
up and put the usual question:
Flows her tead?'
"Nor'- by-east," answered the old tar,
very gruffly.
My man." suavely answered the cap
tain, ION this craft when one of the crew
speaks to me he gives me a title of re-
pect. Don't you think you might do so
TOO? Now, how's her head?"
"Nor'-by-east, 1 tell YER shouted the
tar, displaying not little irritation.

me" respCt ded the captain, good humored-
ly. Let me relieve you at the wheel, AMI
then do you take my place and ask me the
question. 1 will then show you how it
should be answered" They accordingly
changed places.

Nor by-east, SIR replied the captain,
with emphasis on the sir.
Then keep her so, my man, whilst l
goes forrard and has a smoke" was the
startling rejoinder from the old reprobate,
who calmly commenced to suit the action
to the word.
For the first time on record the captain
lost his temper.

ter is the man who has presented petition
for writ of Eabeas corpus, which is to be
argued Saturday before Judge Bradley, in

toned was committed the Police Court had

CALLED HIS WIFE A FORTUNE.
Banker HigEfnsOn of Boston Showed
Unexampled Consideration.

OneXampIed consideration.
Francis L. Higginson, the Boston banker
has sent to his wife at Genoa, Italy, a cable
money order for 100000. He accompanied
this extraordinary gift with the words,
Poor things, they'll starve If l don't send
them some money"
The poor things" to whom he referred are
his clipping wife and her lover, James Wheat
land Smith, wealthy young Boston society
man.
The Higginson family is one of the first in
all New England. Mr.. Higginson retired
three years ago from the banking firm of
Lee. Higginson & Co., with very large for
tune.
His wife is much younger than he, and has
been necessarily active in society. 1t has
been known to all her friends that her mar
rage was unhappy, and that her four chill
dren, the oldest about to enter society, re-
ceived little personal attention from her but
no one dreamed that she would ever sacrifice
her husband, fortune and her high place in
society by boldly deserving all three.
She went to the horse show in New York
on November IS, and spent week there
among New York's fashionable set. Her
constant companion was Mr.. James Wheat
land Smith, who is the great-grandson of
governor of Massachusetts and descendant
of long line of Puritan ancestors. He has
an independent fortune, and while at Har-
ward College, from which he graduated only
a Few years ago, was suspended for social
scandal.
Mrs. Higginson did not return to her home
after the horse show, nor did Mr. Smith re-
turn to his family place at Salem Their alb
SeEce was concealed for many days, and
Miss Higginson, the eighteen-year-oldd augh-
ter, retired to the country to conceal her
mothers flight. 1t transpired that Mrs,
Higginson and Mr.. Smith had sailed from
New York to Italy. 1t was at first reported
that the daughter had eioped, and she made
no denial. Then it was decided that further
concealment was impossible, and Mr. Higgin-
son, without any manifestation of feeling
announced the fact and ca bled 500, 900 to his
wifes order as a final settlement of all
claims. Brief but authentic reports are given
out that there will be no further communi-
cation between them, and Mr.. Smith is per-
fectly safe if he chooses to return to Boston,
where he belongs to twenty clubs

letting the Traffic Association pass out of ex-

should be continued for the purpose of look

which it has lately had Jurisdiction. The
matter was finally referred to committees,

To attain to membership in the

OF the greatest honors, as it is also
one of the highest ambitions in medi-

The late Emperor Frederick, while
Crown Prince of Germany, was him
self at the head of that distinguished
society, which had on its membership
roll some of the most learned and
famous men in all Europe.
1t was while at the head of the Ma

conferred the title of honorary mem
Der of this famous association upon
JOHANN HOFF, in recognition Of
the merits of the GENUINE JO-

TRACT.
This appointment was but one Of
the many illustrations of the late
Emperor's interest in and admiration
for all scientific research.
In acknowledging the great and
increasing merits of the JOHANN
HOFF PREPARATION, he gave
to that great nerve and nutritive
tonic an official, imperial indorse-
ment, more important in its effect
and more effectual than could pos
sibly come from almost any other
source.
