BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

Sunday was the birthday of Mrs.
Fl. Klemme and with her husband she
entertained very handsomely a large
party of friends. At s in the morning
the start was made for Tantalus in
two wagonettes. Camp Klemme was
established and an hour was spent in
discussing the ample refreshments.
Then there was wandering over the
road and the trails, singing, string
music and the making of, leis. Every
one had tiptop time, which well sat
isfeld the generous host and hostess.
Upon returning to the city couple
of hours were spent very pleasantly
at the Nuuanu street home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Klemme. At the close of the day
of pleasure all wished Mrs. Klemme
many happy returns and the smiling
Harry all sorts of good luck.

IS BROUGHT INTO PORT
STRANDED BARK GAINsBoRoUGH
EASILY SAVED.
\ Prize for Allen & Robinson-Taken
Off the Reef at High Tide-Looks
Bad, But Is Valuable Find.

Just about $3.50 p. III. Sunday, at
high tide, the tub Eleu gave a long
pull and strong pull on the bark
Gainsborough, and she came sliding
off the reef into deep water. \ wire
cable and the tugs greatest hawser
did the work. The Eleu had been
pulling away for nearly two hours
before the successful jerk was made.
The first move was to signal for a
pilot. Capt. McCauley went out and
got aboard. In an hour the tug with
the bark, which had been given up for
lost, in tow, steamed up the channel.
She was taken over near the railway
wharf and cut loose. There she lies
with her decks few feet above the
water. Crowds of people viewed her
from the wharves during the after
noon.
The tug left port about 1890 Sunday
morning. Arriving at the wreck
Capt Ward of the Amelia, Capt. Jack
Galway and several natives were
found on board. There were engaged
in iettisoning coal in preparation for
the one great effort to save the YES
sci, to be made at high tide in the
afternoon. About seventy tons went
overheard. At the same time pump
ing operations We're kept up with the
aid of a donkey engine and pipe car
rying a four-inch stream. The for
ward end of the vessel was thus eased
enough to make the final effort fairly
certain of success.
The Gainsborough is badly used up.
She is a picture of a battered wreck.
The bulwarks on her starboard side
are washed away and the main rail is
broken. Some of her plates are chafed
up badly. The cabins are in a very
dirty condition. Every part of her
shows the effects of heavy seas and
bad treatment. When she came into
port she had about ten feet of water
in her forward compartment, and was
+
much lighter astern. There is now
500 tons of coal in the vessel, dis
tributed throughout her hold.
The coal will all be removed before
anything will be done with the vessel
There is no doubt but that something
can be made of the craft, though il
will cost great deal TO repair her,
She is not leaking very fast. With The
large pipe and engine she can easily
be pumped dry. Some of the small
holes, which admitted water. have al
ready been closed. When discharged
the vessel will be taken on the mariu
railway. The wreck was purchased
at auction by Allen & Robinson for
$685..

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
solve me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
SO near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

A DEADLY OCCUPATION.
DEATH VALLEY OF THE GREAT
AMERICAN DESERT.
The Thermometer often Registers 14O
in the BOrax Fields. WOrkmen
Sleep i'm bitches of
Water.

The deadliest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the borax fields of
Death Valley of the Great American
desert. There the longest teams in the
world are employed. Scientists declare
that the fierce heat in this narrow rent
in the era 3ked surface of the earth is
not equaled elsewhere in the world.
Where the thermometer often regis
tiers 140 degrees of heat, unrelieved by
even breath of air; where men sleep
at night in shallow bitches filled with
water in order to avoid dying from
collapse, the necessity for the longest
teams of mules and horses ever har-
messed to draw the borax laden wagons
is apparent.
The desert team is the longest in the
world, and the percentage of deaths
among the horses is greater than that
OF domestic animals used in any other
calling. Forty to sixty horses are Of
ten hitched to one of the numbering
vehicles in which the borax is slowly
dragged across the sun-baked alkali
plains. The average life of even the
sturdiest horses used in this work is
six months, for in this length of time
they either become broken inded,
consumptive from inhaling the deadly
dust of the desert or are driven crazy
by the fearful heat.
A man there, though protected by
the wagon awnings from the suns
rays, cannot go an hour without water
without danger of death. When a
team breaks down and the water sup
ply becomes depleted the men ride off
at top of speed for the nearest source
of supply, and often when they return
they find that the remaining horses,
made mad by thirst, have broken from
the harness and dashed off only to find
death in the desert.
The bOrax wagons weigh 5000
pounds and carry 10000 pounds at a
load. Behind each wagon is tank con-
tanning hundreds of gallons of water.
During the busy season the borax wag-
ons make an almost continuous train,
and the horses alone, if placed in single
file, would make team more than 100
miles long,
Besides little food and water, the
poor animals get no care. They cur
ry themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After few months of this kill.
ing labor the poor creatures become
unfit for service. A kindly rife ball
ends their agony, and their emaciated
carcasses are left alongside the trail tC
furnish scant picking for the lowering

Touched for $3.50. A Cool
Fellows Work.
Fellows Work

A neatly dressed, middle-aged woman
walked into the office If the detectives
at the Atlanta station house and told of
the disappearance of long lost brother.
Her name is Mrs. Eliza Jones, and she
said she lives at Harlem, Ga. She is a
widow and is fairly Well-to. do.
Late Thursday a neatly dressed young
man presented himself at her home and
gave his name as Maxwell. He cues.
toned her about her people, and finding
that she had young brother whom she
had not seen for years, the stranger
made the startling announcement to
her that the young brother stood before
her.
Mrs. Jones was at on3e amazed and
overcome with joy.
Maxwell told the unsuspecting woman
that he had just purchased extensive
real estate in Atlanta, and that he lack
ed just $3.50 of having enough money to
complete the first payment. He humbly
asked her if she could lend him the
amount. She went to merchant and
mortgaged one of her houses for the sum
and gave it to Max we'll. He then sug
gested that she come to Atlanta on a
visit, and consequently the two arrived
in Atlanta about four o'clock this after
noon.
Maxwell left the widow at the carshed,
stating that he was going out to find the
key to his house, and that he would be
back in few minutes. But he never
came for her. The widow sat in the
gloomy waiting room for hours, waiting
for her brothers return, and finally the
truth began to dawn ON her.
Her brotherly experience had cost
just $3.50 and travelling expenses.

RATS KILL A BABY,
Flesh Gnawed from Its Face, Head and
Neck as 1t Lay in Its Crib.


Three big rats attacked the two
months old baby of Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Asher, of 1850 Low street, Bal
timore, and gnawed its face, head
and neck to such an extent that the
infant died in short time. Mr.. Asher
lives over his store. He was looking af-
ter bis business and Mrs. Asher had
gone to market when the rats started to
make meal of the helpless infant,
which was snugly tucked in its crib in
the second story of the building.
Hearing the baby crying, th3 father
hurried upstairs, and, as he entered the
room in which the infant was lying,
three large, vicious-looking rats jumped
from the crib and scampered off. The
Mortified father found that the flesh had
been torn from the babes tender neck,
head and face. Before physician
could be summoned the child died.

eral of His Rattles.
A special from Washington, Ca, says:
G. Beauregard Amason, who lives just
on the outskirts of town, was awakened
one night last week by the cries of sew
eral negro tenan6s on his place. On get
ting up he found all of them engaged in
chasing large rattlesnake, whose rat
tie he could plainly hear before he got
within 500 yards of the place. He sue
ceeded in disodging his snakeship from
his retreat, under an clubhouse, AMI
running him into fallen tree, to which
they set fire, and by the light discovered
the snake and shot him. The snake was
nine feet long and as large around as a
mans thigh. He weighed fifty-six
pounds. MI. Amason will skin him and
stuff the skin. The snake had only three
rattles and no buttons, having lost them,
it is thought, on account of his age and
weight.

RYDER CAN'THANG JANUARY Is.
Peculiar Mistake Made in Passing the
Sentence of Death Upon Him.

A Peculiar Mistake Made in Passing the
Sentence of Death Upon Him.
A peculiar mistake, but one which
may not have much serious effect, oc-
CURED in the closing act of the famous
Ryder trial.
Judge Butts sentenced Ryd er to hang
in the Talbot county Jail yard on Janu-
uary 10Th next. The sentence vas pass
ed Saturday, September Goth. The time
which would elapse before the execu-
ton could occur, under the sentence,
would be nearly four months.
The law upon this point plainly says
that when sentence of death is passed
the time of execution shall be fixed at
not more than sixty days nor less than
twenty days from time sentence is pass
ed. Under the law Ryder's sentence
should have been fixed for a date not
later than sixty days from September
both.
Judge But has, as yet given out no
statement.
1t is not yet known what effect this error
in passing sentence will have. The opinion
of Solicitor General Gilbert that it was
merely technical mistake and will only
necessitate resentence seems to be the
correct one, but other attorneys differ
with him and it may be that this mistake
will be the ground for fight for new
trial.

Theodore Roberts planted five acres
in popcorn on his farm, near st. Croids,
Ind, last spring. A few days ago he
noticed that the shucks were abnormally
swollen and that the ear seemed to be
larger than when it began to ripen, a
thing contrary to corn, as shrinkage is
the rule.
Mr. Roberts found that seven-eights of
the grain had popped open and was cap
ped with the white pulp, as though it
had been in the fire. Some of the corn
tastes as sweet as when newly popped,
but the greater part of it is dry and taste
less. The phenomenon is attributed to
the hot weather that prevailed two or
three weeks ago.
