ON FIRST VOYAGE
Schooner Mildred in With
a Cargo of Lumber.
Fairly Good Run-The Owners.
Captain Crew.

The American schooner Mildred, re-
ported off port late on Tuesday, came in
yesterday morning, q days for Eureka,
with a cargo of 542,s44 feet of lumber
for Levers & Cooke. She experienced
light S. w. winds all the way to port.
VIM. Kindlen is the master of the Mil
dred The vessel is discharging at Al
len & Robinson's wharf.
The Mildred is one of the trimmest
little vessels that has ever visited this
port and, although not built particular
ly for trade between this and Pacific
Coast ports, it is to be hoped that she
will continue to run here.
This is the maiden trip Of the Mildred
and, all things considered, her passage
from Eureka was not bad one. Her
keel was laid in Fairhaven, Humboldt
County, CAL, August Il, 1897, and she
sailed from Eureka, November 18th,
with full load of lumber for this port.
Three months spent in the construction
of such fine vessel is a pretty good re-
cord, and H. D. Bendixen, the builder,
succeeded in making success Of his
work.
The dimensions of the Mildred are as
follows: Length over all, 157 feet;
width, SO feet; depth, II feet 2 inches
and tonnage 412. She is beautifully
built and has cabin very comfortably
furnished.
Captain Kindlen, master of the Mil
dred, is a typical kipper with very
jovial countenance and is polite and
civil to any one with whom he comes
in contact. To say that his men are
fond of him is sufficient to show that he
must be a skipper we'll worth having.
For several years he has been master
of vessels running between Pacific
Coast ports.
There are eight men all told aboard
the new schooner, captain included.
The Mildred is owned by number
of men in San Francisco. The manag-
ing owner is NJ Akmann Of that city.
After discharging her lumber here,
the Mildred will go to Kahului, Maui,
to load sugar for San Francisco.

To The ASYLUM.

CHINO, the man referred to in yester-
day mornings issue of the Advertiser
as being detained at the Police Station
under suspicion of insanity, was yes
terday examined by DR.. Emerson and
insane Judge Wilcox
thereupon sent him to the asylum.
From the examination conducted by
DR.. Emerson, it would seem that the
unfortunate man comes from very
good family in England. He has stu
died dentistry and during his sane mo-
ments, speaks very intelligently. Facts
the man are now in possess
sion of the British Consul, who will
send information to his people. CHINO
is very violent at times and seems to
try to do himself more injury than any
one else.

Without Notes.

The address of the Hon. S. Percy
Smith to the Historical Society here
the other night, was remarkable in
more than one feature In the first
place his offer of new theory for the
origin of the Polynesians set all think
ing. The gentleman spoke throughout
from the briefest notes. He gave fig
ures quite number of times and few
dates, all from memory But what was
really a feat was the manner in which
he gave dozens of Polynesian names.
He did not have this written down.
Mr.. Smith had not brought any of his
own extensive literature with him.

A country Police officer arrived at the
Station House yesterday forenoon in
charge of a Chinaman and a japanese,
both of whom had refused labor at Eva
plantation The Japanese is deserter
captured a few days since by Officer
Toma and sent back to work. He had
been having too much fun during his
absence from the plantation, and get
ting into harness again was not pleas
ant. He offered to pay his fine if he
would be allowed to go back to work,
but the authorities will let the law take
it's course. Both laborers have been
sent over to the Jail for safe keeping.

A Valuable Man.

Principal Richards was not long in
making up his mind to engage MIR.
Arthur Davies for engineer at Kane
hameha. An exceptionally good man
has been secured. Mr.. Davies is not
only an expert engineer, but is skill
full machinist as well, and will Lrcve
invaluable in the industrial depart
ment. Engineer Davies is the tenor
singer of whom mention was recently
made and will add another good Voice
to the excellent vocal corps of Kane
hameha.

A Deserted Home.

People coming down Nuuanu avenue
yesterday morning, noticed queer
sight in one of the places on the Wal
kiki side of the street, near Kukui. A
large horse was quietly standing on the
veranda of cottage, with not a soul
in sight to dispute the animals right.
In tree near by was a monkey break
ing off dry branches and IDLY throwing
them to the ground.

for the three days fair. 1t was only

we are again struck with the wonderful
self-possession and good sense Of the
young Queen. who. after the coronation,
with its attendant fatigues and excite
ments, had wisely determined that there
should be no extravagant and wearisome

guests were entertained by the Queen the

In the years that have elapsed since
Victoria first assumed the reins OF
government, the people whom she mas
ruled have had opportunity TO judge her
as never Queen was judged before. Ihey
watched the young girl OF IL, fresh from
tho Joys and follies OF irresponslpllty,
suddenly assume the cares OF statehood
and attempt the solution OF problems
which many older and wiser persons
would have hesitated to consider. they
saw the woman Of middle age, stricken
with grief eat the loss of her dearly be-
loved husband bear UP brayely under
that burden of sorrow and devote the
same infinite care 10 the interest OF her
subjects that she had bestowed when
ENJOYING the years OF happiness that had
previously been hers. They have seen
this sorrow and careworn woman grow
ing old with them, and still never Tor
getting to put, first Of all, the interests
of those who had put their trust In her.
They see her to-day In the gathering
years with the sunset OF her life made
still more beautiful by the cloud-like
radiance OF the love Of nation.
\. Very interesting is the story OF the
childhood OF the little Princess, brought
up with the most absolute simplicity,
and being taught to meet strangers with
a friendly regard. which won many a
heart as tho little lady gave childish
greetings to those she met in her daily
walks in Kensington Gardens. Steady.
hard work was the order OF the day.
In music and singing she was early pro-
ficient, and languages she acquired with
much facility. AS every one knows, IT
was not till Princess Victoria was In her
nth year that she became aware OF her
position with regard to the throne; then
II was that she made the characteristic
observation: Nov. many child would
boast but they don't know the difficulty;
there Is much splendor. but there Is more
responsibility: and. lapsing from this
grave language, she concluded with the
earnest utterancc, II will be good" a
simple sentence which has surely been
her Majesty's guiding motto throughout
her long and glorious reign.
Her girlish years passed quietly In
continued study and In visits to various
towns OF tho kingdom. the Duchess OF

future. Judging 1t advisable to let her SEQ
