New Quarters.

new QUARTERS
The Waverley Club is now perma-
nently and comfortably settled in it's
new quarters, corner Hotel and Bethel
streets, over the old store Of Medeiros

so large as the old hall, it is quite coy
and homelike, characteristics that are
appreciated.
The new library is now in perfect
order. All the books are listed and
members may use them upon applica-
ton. In the lot is much of the best lit
erature of the day. There is also a
large assortment of books of reference.
The newspaper and periodical list
contains some of the best productions
of America and Europe.
Shades and curtains now adorn the
windows of the Club room. The bill
lizard and pool tables have been newly
covered and put in first class condition.
The Club has now opened up a gallery
of the best Spanish-American war pic
lures, some of them wholly new here.
Members are privileged to invite
friends to inspect the Club rooms.

Suicide on Ohio.
(Manila letter.

The passage of the Ohio was marred
by one unhappy incident. When the
ship was about half way between Ho-
nolulu and Manila, on July 18th, w. D.
Kelly, a coal passer, of San Francisco,
committed suicide by jumping over
board through the starboard ash chute.
Boats were lowered and every effort
was made to save him, but in vain. No
trace of him could be found. 1t is pos
sible that he was slightly crazy.
