In South American Waters.

Captain Thonagel of the schooner
Honolulu found the Hawaiian flag to
be quite a curiosity in Valparaiso. He
was there in June. Sixty other YES
sells were in port at the time; but the
denizens of the Chilian metropolis
were so pleased with the Hawaiian ell
sign that they crowded around at all
times to see it, Rev. Thompson, form
erly of Honolulu, was the only per-
son on shore TO recognize the flag. Cap
tain Thonagel states that when he
took the flag down, the reverend gen.
tleman grasped it in his arms and
shed tears of real joy. 1t was he first
one he had seen since he left Hawaii.

AN OLD MARINER.
Capt. Chapman of Tahiti Notes
Changes Here.

Changes Here.
Captain B. F. Chapman, a mariner
for 80 years, and wealthy business
man of Tahiti, is at the Arlington. He
arrived by the Australia from San
Francisco, and will sail on the Zealan-
dia for his home in the South Seas.
Il was in Honolulu AZ years ago.
said the captain last night. MY broth
er owned the schooner Odd Fellow
On January 16, 1850, we sailed from
San Francisco for Lahaina | was
then youth of 10. Next year 1 pur-
chased the Odd Fellow and made three
trips to Honolulu. Then | sold the Odd
Fellow to the late T. r. Foster. Our
trading in the Islands was with Bush
& Boles at Lahaina. They were big
merchants in the old days. At that
time the building now occupied by the
California Feed Company was the new
Custom House.
"Oh, my; the changes since them /
can close my eyes now and picture
Honolulu as l knew il when a boy. No
one ever dreamed it would be the great
city of today. Yankee muscle, grit and
money have done it. And 1 believe
the possibilities are yet undeveloped.
"Since leaving Honolulu l have been
running on sailing vessels between
San Francisco and Sydney. Tahiti has
been my home and headquarters.
There l have business. Up to a short
time ago Matthew Turner, the noted
ship owner of San Francisco, was my
business partner.
Fourteen years ago 1 sold the
schooner Leahi to Allen & Robinson.
Since then 1 have disposed of num-
Der of vessels here and in San Fran
cisco. Now, am growing too old for
the sea, and will retire to my home in
Tahiti. One hope l will ever cherish |
is to visit Honolulu again and be able |
to spend a long while here.

RUSSELtVILLE.
Unusual Method of Drawing Juries for Franklin County's Court
 Other Gossip.

Russellville, April 3.-(Special Cores .)-The juries for she spring and fall terms of court for Franklin county will not be drawn until the first day of each term, and then they will be made up by the sheriff, under the direc- tion of the court. Two venires for each term of the court have been placed in the hands of the clerk, but Judge Roul- hac has held chat neither venire was le
 gal, and ordered the clerk not to issue them to the sheriff. The first venire was drawn by the commissioners oourt, or members of the court, under the code. But an act was approved February IS repeating the law under which they ac-ed, and hence the jury drawn by them can not serve. But the same law that re- pealed the old law required the jury com missioners, recently appointed by the governor, to draw the juries on the sec ond Monday of February of each year, and the bill not becoming law until after the second Monday in February, of course the commissioners could rot draw the juries on the day required by the act. The commissioners met in March

and drew the jures, but the court held that it was not a legal jury.
 The T. l.. FosSic company at Rock- wood, in Franklin county, is an enter prise that is to be commended by the peo- abolished soma eight or ten years and has been engaged in getting out lime stone for the market They saw the stone into almost any dimensions desired, which they have no trouble in selling all over the county for building purposes, sidewalks and pavements. The frag- ments that are left in getting out the blocks of stone are shipped to the fur naces and used for fluXing stone. They employ from fifty 10 eighty men, and during the hard times in 1893 and 1894, when most other enterprises were pressed out of business, this company kept at work and kept itself out of the hands of receivers.
