of the crew of the British ship WARREN,
Captain Kitchen, which has just arrived
in port, reported a the British Consul's
office and preferred charges against the
Captain, Second Mate and Steward,

The complaints Of the men, in SUBJ
stance, are that on several OCCASIONS
when sailing from Manila last Decem-
Der, the second mate and steward bea:
the men numerically with Delaying
pins, besides setting the Captains dog
on them. The dog, according to the
crew. is large and ferocious Russian
hound, trained especially to terrorize the
men on board the ship
The Captain, when summoned to a
preliminary examination by the Consul
laughed and said:
Il know nothing about the charges.
There was on trouble on board the
ship"
He admitted owning the dog, but re-
fused to talk further. The case will
come up for hearing again in the Con-
sul's office when the crew and all the
officers will be asked to testify.
A statement written by member of
the crew and signed by all the men re-
cites that sailors were beaten until
covered with blood and were seriously
bitten by the dog beside. On the passage
of the vessel from Rio De Janeiro, the
port whence she sailed from Cibu, Phil
ippine Islands. the boatswain. who had
been laid up for four or five weeks with
fever, was buried at sea, although some

SEVERE STORM IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-New, York
was visited by storm of great violence
at o'clock this evening. The wind
blew with the intensity of tornado,
and much damage was done in the su-
burban districts. The storm center was
son tie south coast of Long Island, and
it is feared that great loss of life took
place there.
At Coney Island sixteen persons were
out in hired boats just before the tor
nado came on. None of them had re-
turned at midnight and it is feared that
all were drowned. One boat drifted
ashore containing two suits Of clothes
which the men who had hired the boat
wore when they started out.
AT Rockaway Beach the Broad Chan
mel Hotel was destroyed and the bOule-
ward was filled with wreckage which
came from small buildings. The beach
was in darkness, too, as the electric
light was smashed, and it was impossi-
bic to obtain any estimate of the dam
age. At Rockaway several boats con-
tanning at least six persons were seen
off shore just before the storm broke.
None of these had returned up to mid
night, and 1T is believed that the men
perished.
The storm also spread havoc in New
Jersey and Connecticut At Railway it
caused CONSERVATION at the races and
blew down the judges stand.
In Connecticut houses We're blown
down and scores Of persons were struck
by lightning.
The storm had its birth over Lake On
tario, and swept uD to Maine. 1t was
short in duration, and at o'clock the

INFLUENCE OF BOOKS"
Advantages Offered Pupils in Pub
lie Schools by the Library.

EDITOR ADvERTISER:-In an ar
ticle entitled, Influence of Books" in
this mornings issue of your paper, you
say: I'VE think that the advantages
of the Honolulu Library should be ex-
tended to some of the upper classes OF
the Royal, sKaulawela, Pohukaina and
other schools, free of charge, the nomi-
nation of the pupils to be with the
Principal"
1t affords me pleasure to say that the
measure you recommend was adopted
by the Library Association several
years ago, and has been in successful
operation ever since. Any pupil in the
Government schools, on the presenta-
ton Of a proper certificate from his or
her teacher, has not only the use of the
reading-room and reference depart
ment, but the privilege. OF drawing
books from the circulating department
as we'll. Miss Burbank, the librarian,
takes great interest in this branch of
her work. Boys and girls are not left
entirely to their own crude fancy in
the selection Of books, but are guided
and helped in choosing such reading
as combines pleasure and profit.
When necessary, the librarian uses the
authority and discretion vested in her
by refusing to give out any particular
book that she is satisfied it is not de-
sirable for the particular applicant to
have.
1t is understood to be partly in con-
sideration Of this service rendered the
cause of public education that the Leg
islature has RENTED certain taxes and
charges for which private parties and
business enterprises are liable.
Very respectfully,

NEW SERPENTINE RACE,
Description of the Latest Game for
Amateur Exhibitions.
Introduce the Play Here-Said to
be Very Spirited Contest.

For a race Of 100 yards, place ten
nagstans in line, the first ten feet from
the starting point and the others ten
Ieet apart, the last being ten feet from
the goal. Each pole should be sur
mounted by a small flag, which will
add TO the beauty and interest Of the
scene. Now for the manner of run
ming. Surprising the runners to have
toed the starting-line with their left
foot, the left knee should be bent, the
body inclined forward, and the right
nand raised above the level of the
right shoulder. When the start is Civ
en-, bring the right arm smartIy down
ward; 1T will give you an impetus to
make on. Pass the first staff on your
left side, the second on your right, the
third on your left, the fourth on your
right, the fifth on your left, the sixth
on your right, the seventh on your
left, the eighth on your right, the
ninth on your left, and finally, the
tenth on your right. From here make
the best of your time in getting to the
winning post. This finishes the ordin-
airy serpentine race.
A variation Of the game is known as
the rotary serpentine race, the object
of which is to make complete circle
around each flagstaff. This, per-
formed in an ordinary way, would
make you giddy-a thing to be avoid
ed. Observe, therefore, the directions
laid down, and the result will be, in
stead, a pleaSurable one. Start as be-
fore, passing the first staff on the left,
encircle it by passing to the front Of it,
then, retreating backward, pass it on
the left again. Running diagonally
across, pass the staff on the right, en-
circle it by retreating backward when
at the front again. Run across to the
third staff and pass it on the left, en-
circling the staff backward as before,
and then run across to the fourth
staff. Pass it on the right. Follow
out these directions with the remaining
fiagstaffs, taking care to encircle each
backward, land, in addition to the
above directions, passing the fifth staff
on the left side, the sixth on the right,
the seventh on the left, the eighth on
the right, the ninth on the left, and
the tenth and last ons the right. Then
sprint to the winning post.

IN THE BEGINNING

OF the new year, when the winter sea-
son Of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be-
gins to break down, that the least ex-
posture threatens sickness. 1t is then,
as we'll as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that. the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: That Hoods Sarsaparilla
leads everything in the way of medi-
cines; that it accomplishes the great
est cures in the world, and requires the
largest building in the world devoted
exclusively to the preparation Of the
proprietary medicine. Does not this
conclusively prove, if you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine for
you to take?
