GAINSBOROUGH REPAIRS.
Mechanic Believes Work Could be
Done in Honolulu.

MR.. EDITOR:-There must surely
be some mistake in the report given to
you concerning needed repairs on the
direlict iron bark Gainsborough, now
upon the marine railway, when you
state that the class of labor is not
here to complete repairs on such a
small vessel.
1t is certainly a very bad advertise
ment to go abroad, in view of the fact
that more than two-thirds of the
worlds carrying capacity is in iron
bottoms, and the wooden ship of for
mer times now comparatively obsolete.
There is no new mechanical idea nor
high class mechanical skill required
to replace a few sheets of iron on the
most accessible part of a ship, viz, her
bottom or frame.
If the owners prefer to have only
temporary repairs effected here, and
completed at San Francisco, it is their
affair No slur, however, should be
cast upon mechanics here, who are
competent to complete the work if SO
desired. A MECHANIC.

SEMINARY DESTROYED.
Old Mt. Holyolke Burned TO
Ground-Loss S2OO,OOO.

Ground-Loss S20O,00O.
There are number of people in Ho-
nolulu who received their education at
Mount Holyoke Seminary, in Massa-
chusetts, and there are others who
have friends there at this time. The
following account of the burning of the
Seminary, taken from the New Haven
Palladium, is interesting:
SOUTH HEADLEY, Mass, Sept. 27.
The Mount Holyoke College building
was destroyed by fire early this even
ing The building, which has stood for
many years, with the two wings and
gymnasium, was burned at a cost that
will probably amount to 100000
The fire started under the gymnasi-
UNI, probably in the drying room con-
nected with the laundry, and spread
rapidly to the rest of the building. The
fire was discovered about AS o'clock,
and it took until after o'clock to de-
stroy the building. There was no ade-
quate fire protection about the build
ing, and assistance was called from
Holyoke and Northampton. Three stea-
mers were sent from HOlyoke and one
from Northampton, but as the water
had to be pumped nearly half mile,
it offered no check to the flames.
Much of the furniture and contents
of the building, including large part
of the students property, was saved,
and no one was injured so far as
| learned Mrs. Meade, the president of
| the college, was considerably overcome
| by the excitement, and Miss Knapp
was also overcome and was taken to
the Holyoke City Hospital.
The building that was burned was
four stories high and about $50 feet
| long, with two wings running back
about 200 feet, also four stories high
and a three-story gymnasium with the
| laundry and machine rooms beneath
adjoined the wings.
The trustees carried an insurance OF
about $500, 900, and the total loss will
probably approximate that figure.
Four hundred of the students were
rendered homeless and they were given
quarters in South Hadley. Some went
to Holyoke and others to Springfield.
The buildings that remain are the
Library, the Science, Williston, Dwight
West and South Halls. The school re-
opened on the following Monday, as
the recitation rooms were not touched

SUPREME COURT.
Hoshino, the Opium Smuggler
Must Serve Sentence.

Must Serve Sentence.
Associate Justice Whiting handed
down an opinion which was concurred
in by the other judges of the Court
relative to the case of riot against six
Portuguese, taken from the Circuit
Court on a bill of exceptions. The
opinion is as follows:
IAN affidavit setting forth that af-
faint was counsel for defendants, and
used all bis endeavors and means in
his power to obtain and gather all the
evidence possible; that he knew of the
evidence OF A. P. only after the jury
had rendered their verdict, does not
show due diligence in the preparation
Of the case and in the proper search
and inquiries for testimony at the
place where the offense was committed,
and is insufficient to base a motion for
a new trial on on the ground of newly
discovered evidence
The case of Hoshino, former GUS
tom house employee, convicted in the
District Court of smuggling and deal
ing in opium, and sentenced TO term
of two years at hard labor and to pay
a fine of FIVE hundred dollars has been
decided. The case was taken to the
Supreme Court on the ground that the
presiding judge had erred in his charge
to the jury regarding an alibi which
defendant ATTEMPTED to prove. Fol-
lowing is the decision of the Supreme
Court in overruling the motion for a
new trial:
There being evidence produced by
defendant tending to prove that de-
PENDANT was elsewhere than at the
place where the offense is alleged to
have been committed at the time al
legged, the Court was justified of its
own motion in charging the jury as to
the law of alibi."

PRESIDENTk RETURNS.
Visit to Land on Hawaii Which
May be Opened up.

NAY DS OE(hGA
President Dole returned from Ha-
waii on the Kilauea Hou yesterday
morning, looking remarkably well at
ter his vacation. While his visit TO the
Island was more in the nature of
recreation. he spent some time inquir-
ing into the wants of the residents OF
KohaIa on the land question.
At Puanohulu there are from a thou
sand to fifteen hundred acres admirably
suited for pasturage or the raising OF
field crops. This land will be a splendid
opening for the small cattle growers
and others who wish to raise crops to
a limited amount. 1t is not suited
to raising coffee, owing to the fact that
there is not enough rain.
Another place visited by the Presi-
dent was at Awini, on the east end of
Kohala and about ten miles from Ko-
hala center.
The President was attended on his
visit to this place by about forty Ha-
waiian and white residents. The land
here is located in the forest and is
good for coffee growing. Quite num-
Der of the residents of Kohala wish to
improve land without being obliged to
live on it, and this land is available.
At the Cabinet meeting yesterday
President Dole reported the result of
his Investigations, and it is probable
that favorable action will be taken at
once

The Author of '.Evelina."

Miss Burney, or Nine. D'Arblay, re-
tains a place in literature partly by her
novels, partly by her exceedingly inter-
esting diary. Nor must it be forgotten
that, although "Evelina" appeared so
long ago as ITS, there are many people
still living vino were young men and
women when she died. She has been
praised by Macaulay for describing real
life with broad, comic humor." yet
in language that is never Inconsistent
with rigid morality or even with virgin
delicacy," and it is true that "Evelina"
possesses unique interest as description
from unnecessary coarseness. 1t is also
true that. the author has keen eye for
the ridiculous and a considerable gift of
satire. Nevertheless Mme D'Arblay is
not entitled to any high place as novel
ist. Her constructive skill is small, and
her characters are for the most part
what johnson would have called "hu-
morists" is, they are the incarna-
tion Of qualities rather than flesh and
blood individuals. Moreover, the author
herself is "humorist. Her ruling pas
sion is a morbid craving to be "genteel.
She has no mercy for vulgarity or the vul-
gar, but she fails to see that her own wor-
ship of society conventions is itself vul-
gar. And hence one may doubt the pro.
priety of assigning to her "broad comic
humor. She was too much of prig to
be possessed Of humor, which duplicates
geniality.
Still, Nine. D'Arblay claims respect
on the specific ground that she did much
to purify an important form of litera-
ture, while she has a certain additional
claim to remembrance from her connec-
tion with DR.. johnson. Did not DR..

While freight train was lying at a
small mountain station in Montana the
engineer borrowed shotgun and started
out for hunt. He was about starting
to return to his train when a COW made
her appearance. Before he realized that
there was any danger the animal made
a rush at him, and he ran with all his
speed. But the COW was better racer,
and in few minutes caught him by
the clothing, splitting his coat from
waist to collar and tossing him into the
air Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible, he lodged behind tree, and
then, to his dismay, found that the gun
barrel was bent so as to be useless
The next ten minutes were very live
ly ones. The COW chased the engineer
round and round the tree. and when he
got a chance to hit her with the gun
barrel it only seemed to enrage her the
more. 1t was only question of time
when he would succumb to fatigue,
when diversion occurred which saved
his life. An angry snort was heard, and
a big elk appeared upon the scene, head
down and prepared for fight. The COW
was so mad by this time that she was
ready for anything, and in another mo-
ment the two animals dashed at each
other. The engineer watched the com
bat for a few minutes, until prudence
suggested that he should make a retreat
in safety. He never knew the outcome
OF the battle, but the presumption is
that the elk was the victor. Bozeman

0aDdsy "Dad Breaks" That Are Made with

In the hurry Of speech and anxiety to

Of the tongue which may put an entire

partner, "Can you tell me who that ex-
ceedingly plain man is sitting opposite
to us?" "That is my brother. "Oh, I
beg your pardon,'' she replied, much
confused, "I did not notice the resem-
blance.''
That was certainly putting ones foot
in it, and yet was perhaps not SO awk
ward as the following: After a certain
concert well known German canta-
trice asked gentleman to whom she
had been introduced how he liked her
duet. "You sang charmingly, madam.
But why did you select horrid piece
of music?'' "Sir, that was written by

tion exclaimed, "Why, good gracious
che is as old as the hillsr' and could
not imagine in the least what had caused
the general CONSERVATION. She did
little later, however, when it was ex-
planned to her that two maiden sisters
at the table, whose names she did not
catch in the introduction, were called
Hill, and were extremely sensitive on
the subject Of age.
"Here, my dear husband" said a
