Oyster Boats Equipped With Gas Engines
 -Threeioid Feast at Grand Avenue
 Church-Funeral of Mrs. FlavIa Farren-
 Race at Riverside Driving Park This
 Afternoon.
 Over in Bridgeport, Q number of new boats to be equipped with gas engines are under construction for the oyster business. Within the last year or so it has been demonstrated that in the oys- ter business there is a field for these power boats, where they can be put to use with profit to their owners, for the reason that they can be worked to ad- vantage at much smaller expense than boats propelled by steam power, says the Bridgeport Telegram. To the engine can be attached hoisting ma chinery which is easily attachable and detachable and can be worked by one man where before it required several to do the same amount of work.
 A three fold feast was served in the parlors of the Grand avenue Congre- gational church last evening. A musi- cal furnished feast for the ear, a chrysanthemum exhibit a feast for the eye, while home made candy, rich cakes and delicious chocolate satisfied the palates of all who partook.
 A large number of chrysanthemums were on sale, Mrs. Prescott and Miss Annie Meek being in charge. The cho- colate table was presided over by Mrs. George Kelleyand Miss Josephine Brad ley. Miss Hattie E. Denison, assisted by Mrs. Denning and Miss Minnie Good sell was in charge of the candy table, and the board of directors of the ladies' aid society presided at the cake table. An excellent musical entertainment was given, and Mrs. Wallace Hurlbut was chairman of the committee.
 The officers of Fort Hale lodge went to Guilford last evening to exemplify the degree work in Sachem lodge. Among those who went were: Past Warden S. A. Tourtelotte: warden, Frederick Walker; vice warden, Mrs, Mary Bunce; chaplain, Mrs Eva French; guide, Thomas Meaney; guardian, Mrs. Mary Walker; secretary, J. G. Hurd; financial secretary, w. s. Rowe; or ganist, D. J. Wheeler. The delegation returned at 1:30 on the Washington ex- press.

 MT. and Mrs. E. H. Rowe are receiv- ing congratulations upon the birth of a son.

DEPUTY CONSUL RESIGNS.
John F. SOper Will Not Return
to San Francisco.

John F. Soper, the first Deputy
Consul General in San Francisco un-
der the Provisional Government and
the Republic, has rendered his resig-
nation to Minister Cooper, and will re-
main permanently in the city. A sue
cessor has not yet been appointed, and
probably will not be for the present
Mr.. Soper is among the best and
most favorably known of the Honolulu
boys. He was junior clerk with Bishop
& Co. after leaving school, and retain
ed his position until shortly after Con-
sui Wilder was sent to the San Fran
cisco post. Mr.. Soper was the selection
of the Cabinet for the deputy consul
ship.
Before Mr.. Soper went into the Gov
ernment service he was quite active
among the base baIlists and held down
first base for the Crescents. Mr.. Soper
will probably engage in business here.

by the plantations TO their laborers,
free of charge.
in the matter of work for the wo-
men, this will be arranged for by the
various plantations, in case they wish
to do something In the matter of
children, none under IA years will be
engaged by the plantations.
The IaboreYs come to H. Hackfeld &
Co., agents for the II. F. Glade, and
were shipped by ]. c. Pfiuger & Co, or
Bremen.
Soon after the H. F. Glade arrived
yesterday afternoon, Acting Port Sur
veyor Morton was sent off aboard to
check off the laborers. They were all
sent below, and, in answer to their
names, stepped out, and were tailed
off, after having shown their certifi-
Gates. The number of children almost
equaled the number of laborerS. The
women were rather a scarce quantity.
The checking off having been COM
pleted, guards were stationed about
the vessel and today most of the Ia
borers will be sent to their respective
destinations.

MAY GIVE EXHIBITIONS.
Champion Bob Smith of Austria
liza i'm the CITY.

Robert Smith, lightweight cham
pion of Queensland, is in the city, and
may possibly give an exhibition, IL
proper arrangements car. be made. Mr..
Smith is en- route to America, where he
hopes to pull off a match win Kid
Lavigne, provided the latter will come
up to his weight of 140 pounds. He
expects this fight to make him light
weight champion of the world
Mr.. Smith has little of the appear
ance of a fighter; his weight, 140
pounds, being principally from his
waist up. During his career as a box
er he has had 100 battles, and counts
among his men Tut Ryan, welter-
weight champion; defeated him at
Brunswick in IL rounds
Alf Bishop, of Sydney; fought in
Sydney and defeated him in three
rounds.
Defeated George Tugman, champion
of Collingwood, in five rounds.
Fought Alexander Wilson in March,
1897, at Ipswich, for the championship
of Queensland, and put him to sleep in
IA rounds.
Robert Smith is native of Ipswich,
and was born there before the separa-
ton. He comes from good fighting
stock, being the son of George Smith,
champion of Australia.
If a suitable 140-pound man can be
found to spar for points with Mr..
Smith, an exhibition will be arranged.
He realizes that, while the young men
here are fond of athletics, priZe-fight-
ing is not one of the pleasures INDUCED
in. This exhibition will be purely sci
pntific

recent lavas.
2. A complete series of fossils. No
such collection has ever been made.
Honolulu is good point for this.
3. CrystalliZed or crystalline min
erals of all kinds. Even the minute
crystals occupying cavities in lava
should be included in the series.
4. Specimens illustrating peculiari-
ties of weathering of rocks.
In general, whatever has interested
the collector and has a distinct signi-
ficance that can be embodied in the
label. Every specimen should have
full descriptive label, which should al
ways state when, where exactly, and
by whom the specimen was collected.

OFFICERS SUSPENDED.
Aftermath of the Opium Seizure
at Quarantine Station.


Acting under instructions from At
torney General Smith, the Executive
Officer of the Board of Health, c. B.
Reynolds, went over to Quarantine
yesterday morning and suspended
from further duty, J. D. McVeigh and
the guards at the station, pending an
investigation into the smuggling of
opium into the country by Chinese i'm
migrants.
This suspension is the outcome Of
the recent capture by some of the en-
ployes of the Custom House. No direct
charge of completely in the smuggling
has been brought against the suspend
ed officers. 1t is merely one of appar-
ent carelessness on their part. One of
the men said last night, in speaking of
the matter:
There are hundred different places
where this stuff could have been hid
den, and we not find it. The customs
officers were notified that the opium
was in the baskets and were practical
ly told where to look for it. If we
were supposed to act in the capacity
of Custom House clerks, the infOrma-
tion should have been given us to work
on and we could have caught the opium
as easily as they. AS rule, we do
not make a thorough search of immf
grants baggage. If we did the opium
would not have been missed by u.s."
Just what course will be pursued or
when the investigation begins is not
stated. but it is believed that Agent
McVeigh will try and ascertain from
his end of the line if any of the men
employed were implicated.
