Stole His Buggy.

]. NJ. Monsarrat, the attorney, had a
rather unpleasant experience at Moa-
nalua. Saturday night. He was among
the number of guests at the Wilcox
luau. and after RECALLING himself with
the good things to eat, walked out to
where he had tied his buggy, with the
expectation of returning home; but
when he got there the buggy was gone
and so he rode home in a hack. Upon
inquiry of some people who were
standing near by. he learned that two
men had taken the buggy. One was
dressed in white, the other in black.
Proceeding TO town. and going to the
Pantheon stables. from whence he had
taken the buggy, he reported the mat
ter, and one of the men started out in
search. Complaint was likewise made
at the police station, but before Mr..
Monsarrat got away he learned that
the the buggy had been found with
the horse. tied in front of a Chinese
restaurant on Hotel street. near Fort.
No trace has been discovered OF the
parties who played the joke.

HIS MONEY DISAPPEARS.
Young Native From kahului Has
u Sad Experience.

Sau Experience.
Pekelo Inko, a young native from
kahului, who came to Honolulu as a
witness in the case of the brig Lur-
line, will probably regret for a long
time to come the fact that he took one
drink too many on Saturday. January
18th.
Mia, sailor on the Lehua, who be-
came acquainted with Pekelo in Ka-
hului, found that the boy had a good
deal of money about MIN, and it is
thought at police headquarters. he in
weighed him away to Kakaako on Sat
urday for the express purpose of get
ting Pekelo intoxicated and then TAX
ing his money away from him.
At ali events Pekelo did get drunk,
and his money was stolen from him.
Fortunately he had a suspicion that he
might do something rash, Saturday be-
ing a holiday. and sewed three $40 gold
pieces on his inside coat pocket. This
was all he had left when he came TO
himself
When Pekelo recovered somewhat
he made complaint at police headquar-
tiers and officers were sent out at once
after Mia, who was found in Cape Horn
spending money right and left, and
was put under arrest.
His case will come up in the police
court this morning.

led the way into his cabin. He ransacked
every trunk and portmanteau: but not q
vestge Of paper or anything of value did
he discover. The expression on his face
when he left the ship some hours later
was not particularly pleasant.
When we arrived in the docks at Lon
don | smuggled Mr.. Brandon ashore in one
of his daughters trunks after they had
been searched by the customs officer. No
one in the ship ever suspected the truth.
Their secret remained alone with me.
It was arranged that Alice and l should
be married quietly before setting out on
my next voyage, and our honeymo Don was
to be spent on the bosom Of the deep.
When we parted that night she promised
to communicate with me when her father
had secured some quiet retreat in the
country. She kept her promise. Here Is
the letter. have preserved It all these
years. It has neither superscription nor
signature.
Dear Old Captaln-Many thanks for all
your kindnesses. My husband and I-for
Mr.. Brandon Is my husband, though il
was not known in Arlington-will never
forget them. Pray forgive the deceit we
found 1t expedient to practice on you in

band did not lose the money In speculation
as thought 1t necessary to tell you. Dear
captain, l know l can rely on you, for
your own sake, not to inform the authori-
ties about my husband. AS he died at

to make few personal requests of his
successor, relative to the retention of
certain persons in the public or domestic
services. An understanding is thus reach
ed so that on the following day the for
malities may proceed without interruption.
1t is customary for the outgoing Presi-
dent to have all of his personal effects
out of the house before the new President
returns from the capitol 1t is also good
form for the incoming President to wait
until he is formally inaugurated before
he delivers any of his personal effects or
baggage at the white house.
1t is the custom for the President-elect
to call at the executive mansion on the
morning of the 4th of March
and pay his respects to the
President. That formality is per-
formed in the blue parlor. where all off,
cial presentations are made TO the Pres
ident. The private secretaries of both
men are present, and while the President
and his successor are preparing for their
ride to the capitol the private secretaries
draw apart and indulge in conversation
appropriate to the occasion. The four
horse carriage stands before the door. The
President-elect sits at the left hand of
the President during the journey TO the
capitol, but returning, President McKin-
ley will occupy the right hand side Of the
carriage and ex-President Cleveland will
sit at his left.
In the meantime the outgoing Presidents
family retire from the white house to the
home of near friend, and prepare to leave
the city. The Clevelands will go to Prince
ton at o'clock on the afternoon of the
4th. When the new President returns
from the capitol, his successor accompan-
les him into the house, where they ex-
change a few words. The latter takes a
carriage in waiting at the south door, and
proceeds TO join his family The new Pres
ident takes a hurried luncheon prepared
for him, and then goes out upon the re-
viewing stand TO remain there as long as
the inaugural parade lasts. His family
and personal friends have in the meantime
been provided with seats on the reviewing
stand close beside the new executive
While the procession is passing the front
door of the mansion. expressmen and hotei
porters are delivering the new Presidents
trunks and other personal effects at the
back door. When the parade is over the

Where Frye Resembles Calhoun.
From the Courier-JournaI.


The other day 1 walked into the Senate
gallery and found that the roll was being
called on the question of considering
Morse's liquor bill Frye was in the chair,
and while Harris, Hill and Aldrich all
know more about parliamentary law than
Frye, he Is the best presiding officer the
Senate has known since John G. Breckin-
ridge. Frye follows the rule Of Calhoun,
perhaps the greatest presiding officer in
the history of the Senate, not excepting
even Aaron Burr.
Calhoun would not permit one senator to
refer 10 another senator as my friend
from Virginia." or as "the gentleman
from Massachusetts" The correct phrase
was "the senator from Virginia" or 1.-THE
senator from Massachusetts," IL is said
that Il was worth journey across the
continent to hear Calhoun announce a
vote IN the Senate. There was more OF
the Roman IN his look than IN any other
public man Of our history. His eyes burn
cd like Goals Of fire and there was digni-
~ enthroned In every lineament and
movement. When Calhoun announced a
vote, he said in voice that penetrated the
furthermost recesses Of the chamber.
Senators, on this question the yeas are -
and the nays are. The ayes have II, and
the motion is agreed to-"
FRYE Is the only man / have ever seen
preside over the Senate who announces a
vote with that impressiveness we can
imagine Calhoun employed, and u Is
doubtful n even Calhoun could utter the
word senators with more rotundity than
Frye gives 20 It.

His InjurIes Proved FalaI

Tho last issue of the JoURNAL MINER contained an account of an accident which happened to F. J! Netherton. The injuries proved fatal, as Mir. Netherton died a few hours after the accident. The Gazette says; He was conscious when he was picked up and walked to the wagon that was to take him to town. He said that he would be all right in short tune and only complained that he could not see, as his eyes were so badly lacerated. When he was brought to his lodg- ings he walked up the stairs with As- slstance, but the moment he touched the bed he lost conscious ness and kept growing rapidly worse. When examined by Dr.. Hughes itwas found that the frontal bone was so badly crushed that tn 0 skull had to be trepanned to relieve the pressure. His face was badly discolored and torn and brain mat ter was ejected from the nostrils.' y
 Deceased was g years old. He came from Contra Costa county, California, few years ago, and has been engaged In teaching most of the time since, although he served a term as territorial superintendent. He was a nephew of w. B. lsaacs, a well known citizen of Salt River valley.

Mr. David Care is an enthus iastic extoller of their virtues. Several weeks ago he was hopelessly st ricken with rheumatism and as last resort visited tho hot springs. He gave the water a thor ough trial and buried himself in the mud, but received little benefit. Later he gathered the moss which grows in the region and applied il. It seems that the long tendrils sweeping in the water gather up the minerals in which the water abounds and become veritable storehouses of the health giving properties. It was not until he had made several applications of the moss that any improvement was noted, but from the first indication of benefit the imp rovemens was rapid.
