Two Baldwin locomotives were
among the cargo of the Australia.
One is destined for the Hawaiian Agri-
cultural Company's plantation at Pa
hala; the other for Pauilo. The latter
bears the name of "Charles Motley"
in honor of the plantation manager.
The one for Pahala is not yet named,
but will likely be called Daniel Fost-

WONDERFUL CONTRIVANCE.
Veriscope Presented in Honolulu for
First Time.

A select audience, not large in num-
bers, but generously appreciative,
witnessed the veriscope exhibition
given at the Hawaiian opera house by
Frank r. Clifton last evening. 1t was
the first time this wonderful bit of
i,8cchanism has been exhibited on the
islands, and while the conditions were
unfavorable to it's perfect operation,
the display was meritorious enough to
win the hearty plaudits of the aud
ience, who repeatedly delnar led en-
cores.
The veriscope is a contrivance by
means of which series of instantan-
eous photographs of objects, animate
and inanimate, in motion are repro
duced in life size upon II screen in
quick succession with such accuracy
that the picture presented has all the
life and motion of the original scene.
A watermelon contest" between two
darbies is a laughable scene, and the
gentleman who cranes his neck and
peers over the footlights at the aud
ience while the great Mckinley parade
at New York is passing in review pro-
duces a laugh every time he rubber
necks." The arrival of the Empire
States express train at Albany, and the
Pennsylvania railroad ferry steamer
Chicago entering her slip are very life
like reproductions. The choicest and
most realistic scene in the set, how
ever, is the New York fire department
and salvage corps turning out to q
fire. The engines, ladder trucks and
hose carts are seen coming down the
street, and men, women and children
! fly in all directions to get out of the
way. For nearly four minutes every
movement of the firemen is faithfully
counterfeited. They unreel the hose
and attach it to the fire plug: the en-
gine puffs black smoke and clouds OF
steam escape from the exhaust; con.
nections are rapidly made by the fire
men, who dash about; the hose. is OBJ
served to swell as it fills with water
/ and then the powerful stream bursts
from the nozzle, and is played upor
burning building in the background
! The whole thing is as realistic as il
life

GEN. A. S. HARTWELL DEPARTS
TOMORROW MORNING.

Pleasure-Will Visit New York.

Gen. A. S. Hartwell attorney for
Pacific Gable Company, will leave on
the steamship Doric tomorrow morn
ing for San Francisco and thence to
Washington. 1t is intimated that his
mission is one of great Importance to

upon his arrival there. Gen. Hartwell,
however, stoutly denies that his trip
will have anything to do with the
cable.
81 am not going to Washington on
cable business" he said IN an inter-
view, nor am | going there either at
the instance of the Government or of
any other person. | am going partly
for the change and pleasure of travel,
but mainly in order to see certain per-
sons in Washington with whom L am
acquainted. L shall then call on a
few friends in New York and Boston
and hope to return by the Rio on April
18th.
"The fate of the cable measure now
before Congress will probably be de-
cded before my arrival there; but [
have nothing to do with advocating
the cable arrangement proposed by
the New York Company. But while
absent / shall certainly not hesitate to
say what | think about annexation
and treaty matters"

IN MEM0RlAM.

Mrs. Nancy II. Tiler was born October
27th, 1919, and di4 I'd November 5th, 1896,
aged II yls. and days When young
girl she joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church South and was consistent men,
ber thereof all her life. In her religion
she found great comfort, and in it she
afumphed in death.
She became the wife of Ira Tiller, Sep
tember 90, 1889, and was the mother of
eleven children, seven are now living to
mourn her death. Her husband preceded
her some years to thespirit world.
David a. Tilcr was born August 18TH
1851, aad died November 2Sth, 1895, aged
Is wears, months and 8 days. He was a
member of the Methodist Episcopal church
South, having joined when quite a young
boy and living quiet and harmless life
He had no enemie', but many friends.
He was married to Miss NJ. j. NOrtan,
March 18th, 1880. Three children were
born unto them all of whom, with the wife,
mourn his death.
Sarah +. Tiller was born July, 9TH, 1850
and died January 3lst, 1897. aged AZ years
Z mos. and i DAYS. She was christian
lady and was member Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South. For nearly 80
years she was a sufferer, but during all
those days she was patient, and resigned
to her masters will. So her afflicton was
not punishment, but only the chastning Of
a gracious Heavenly Father, who was
teaching her the beautiful lesson of humili-
tv and trust 1t seldom occurs that. God
takes mother, son and daughter from one
home in less than . months, yet in all
things, whatsoever, lie doeth, we should
see the hand of love and mercy.
The mothers death was blessing to the
son, likewise the sons to the daughter,
and all to tie community. We all who
mourn their loss and commit them to God,
and pray his blessing upon them for
Cirist's sake.
