match them against any fifty in the State
of California, both for long and short dis
tances, as may be arranged later. Such
match would be very popular here, as both
the Sharpshooters and Citizens Guard are
somewhat chagrined over being left out of
the present one. The other islands could
furnish few good shots. notably at Hilo.
where there is a good company of the Citi-
zens' Guard which has just tied Company
BIS team in a match. From the abund-
ance of material to draw on. as shown
from the foregoing, Hawaii's team would
be a formidable one. and the people here
all hope The CALL will encourage the idea
and help get up theimatch.

Could Not Find Her.

The search for Mrs. Arthur B. Cody, who
mysteriously disappeared recently from Ia
coma was taken up by the police of this City.
Word was received that the Tacoma police had
learned that Mrs. Cody had taken q steamer
Tor this City en- route 10 Los Angeles, where she
intended to join her children. Captain Lees
detailed several detectives to watch the incom-
Ing trains from the north and the steamers
from all northern ports. The officials, after a
careful search, reported that Mrs. Cody has not
come TO San Francisco either by rail or
steamer.

Tho Royal Charter sailed from Mel

calamity there wore on board 1913 passen-
gers. and of these only 80 woro saved. She
carried small cargo Of wool and skins
but tho most important itom Of her freight
was gold and specie, to the value of at
lenst $500, 600.
On Oct. 26 thcro was blowing from the
cast northeast violent gale, which foil with
full forco on the ill fatod ship. She arrived
off Point Lynas about in tho evening
and for several hours Captain Taylor CON

Tho masts and rigging were cut adrift
but this gave no relief. Tho ship continued
to grind and dash upon tho rocks, and at

tho terror began. A Maltese sailor, Joseph
Rogers, conveyed n rope Oh shore through

Royal Charter like u toy and swinging

later she also parted at tho fore hatch, and
then thoro was an end. Those who wero
not killed by the sea were killed by the

In the course of few moments the
work was done, and $50 persons were

WHEN MEN WEEP.
Neither Pain Nor Grief Which, as n Rule,
Moves Them to Tears.

@AO'So AiASh ~ 1chrSs
1t is one of tic first laws Of the phi
losophy of emotion that men shall not
cry. They must find some other outlet
for their pent up feelings. Swearing is
the most natural expedicnt, but as this
is considerably worse than crying the
safest plan perhaps is to make frequent
use of tho expressions Dear mop and
Goodness graciousl /" which are per-
fectly harmless.
There are, as every one must know,
times when even the strongest men are
overcome by their feelings, and terri
ibly heart rending sight it is to see big
frame convulsed with sobs and proud,
manly face stained with tears.
AS rule, however, it Is neither pain
nor grief which will make a man cry.
Soldiers, who will bear excruciating in
juries without n moan, have been
known to break down when tho lights
are lowered and some very thrilling
scene is portrayed on the Adelphi boards.
Orators and singers are both subject
in an extraordinary degree to the sway
of emotion. Tears are no uncommon
sight i'll pulpit. In fact, there are few
preachers whose voices are not at times
so full that they are cholSed with feeling
and their eyes bedimmed with tears.
Then if you glance around the hushed
assembly. who are hanging on the
preachers words, you will see many q
man whose cheeks arc moist from SYM

The great Sturgeon would often break
down under stress of feeling, and Canon
Liddon's utterance many time failed
him from the overwhelming pathos
which his emotional voice betrayed.
Sims Reeves "Tom Bowling" al
ways affected the famous singer, and
Mario was known to break down when
the we'll Of his gentle hearts emotion
was filled until the tears could no lon
ger be held back.
When Charles Dickens put an end to
tho career of little Paul Dombey, the
great writer went out into the darkness
of the night and found comfort in tears.
Many men are overcome when reading
