Pilot Chart.

The pilot chart for December gives
the following forecast of weather:
During this month the northern part
of the North Pacific ocean will be sub
ject to fierce gales. These will prob
ably be found due principally to either
OF two classes of barometric depres-
sions, one class originating in the
west, moving to the eastward over the
Japan sea and across the island of Ho-
koshu, and the other class forming to
the south of the 30th parallel and NOV
ing northward, and tending to ap-
proach the average storm track for
December.
The region of greatest frequency
and intensity of these gales will prob
ably lie north Of the 35th parallel and
reach across the entire ocean; but be-
tween Japan and longitude 160 degrees
e. it will extend as far southwark as
latitude 80 degrees n.
In the vicinity of the Philippine and
Hawaiian Islands frequent squalls
may be expected.

Shingle furnished a well considered ar
ticle on Hawaii that was published in
leading papers of these cities: st.
Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Denver,
Omaha, Des Moines, Chicago, Buffalo.
Minneapolis, st. Paul. New York, Phil
adelphia and Washington. The article
is of the same tenor as J. +. Browns
contribution to the Advertiser, with
the 'don'ts" that have been so widely
quoted. The matter has reached ap-
proXimately four million readers in
the East and will go into hundreds of
Western papers.

Nine and a half Pounds Of the
Tabu Drug.
TAKEN AT PISTOL POINT
A New Plan FruStrated-Rush OF
Five Men on a Customs Guard.
Four Escaped.

Five men off the Australia tried to
stand up the Customs guard at Oceanic
wharf last night with the result that
one of them is at the station house
with dead-sure case of smuggling
opium against him.
1t was shortly after the watch chang
ed at o'clock that r. M. Macauley,
Customs inspector, assigned Guard
Vivachaves to the main gate leading
out on Allen street. Vivachaves had re-
ported being offered brihe by one Of
the Australia's crew during the after
noon and Macaulay placed himself in
hiding close by and awaited the COM
| ing of the men, who usually go out in
gangs after supper.
Five men came along about Z O'Clock
| and made a rush for the gate. The
| first clinched with Vivachayes but by
that time Inspector Macaulay was
| coming up on a dead run for the
crowd and the cleaning barrel of his
revolver under the rays of the electric
| llight-aimed directly at the men
made them halt in their desperate at
tempt Vivachaves had blocked the
narrow gate alongside the big en-
trance, which was tightly locked and
had the struggling man in close en-
brace. Seeing their scheme had failed,
the four men who We're free, turned to
their heels and back to the Australia S
gang plank. DOdging among the piles
of freight with which the Oceanic dock
| is now encumbered, Inspector Macau-
| lay found it useless to further pursue
them and fastened back where the
big sailor had Guard Vivachaves, who
is rather slight young fellow, nearly
| exhausted. The smuggler gave in upon
| Macaulay's approach and was taken tC
| the Port Surveyors office and searched
Nineteen half-pound tins of prime
IHongkong opium were found secreted
| in side his shirt and various pockets OF
his clothing.
| Taken to the station house he gave
his name as Hansen, a Swede, for
many years past donkey man on the
Australia. He had in his possession
SITS, of which $3.50 was in Hawaiian
currency and the remainder in United
States gold. He claimed that two OF
the crowd with him had gone through
the gate when he was stopped
| This clever capture rebounds not on
| ly to the credit of the brave guardian
and inspector who secured the man
and the stuff, but to Port Surveyor
IStratemeyer, whose system of patrol
makes it nearly impossible to land
| opium in this harbor
| Further arrests may follow as it is
suspected there are several of the crew
| implicated in this affair
| Macaulay and the guards. after the
whole of the raiding party had disap-
| peared, made a careful search of the
wharf and succeeding in finding ten
| tins of opium that had been dropped
| by the men who ran away.

and great enthusiasm over the result
is felt by ali who are interested in the
college.
DR.. Barrows is graduate of Olivet
college, and Union Theological Semin-
airy. His responsible and successful
conduct of the Worlds Parliament OF
Religions in Chicago in 1893, and his
subsequent journey around the world,
as an expounder Of the true religion,
gave him worldwide reputation.
Dr. Barrows' sermon some two years
ago in Central Union church of this
city on Christ the Light of the
World was an event never to be for
gotten by those who were present.
Dr. Barrows is a man of great execu-
tive ability, and strong personality,
and by his wide experience and his
versatile scholarship, it is believed he
will most admirably fill the position
to which he has been called, and that
| under his leadership Oberlin College
will enter upon a broader career OF
usefulness and success.

He Will Talk on klOndike Be
tween Vaudeville Performances.

CHICAGO, December Joaquin
Miller. the poet of the Sierra. is to
shine as star attraction on the vaud-
eville stage in Chicago during the pres
ent month. His name will appear on
the bill boards in big black letters,
sandwiched between those OF artists
who's speciaities will be along other
lines. His engagement marks an inno-
vation in the methods of amusement
managers. Mr.. Miller's turn" will ap-
peal to the mind more than to the ear
or eye.
Miller is going to lecture to the pa
irons of vaudeville at the Chicago
opera house. The poet will tell Of his
impressions of the Klondike, from
which he has recently returned, and
will wear a garb picturesque enough
to keep people guessing at his iden-
tity Manager Kohl thinks he has found
a strong card in the poet of the West.
The engagement at the Chicago opera
house will not begin until Miller has
finished a short lecture tour, among
surrounding towns and cities, begin
ming next Monday.

Commencement Exercises Held at
the High School
CLASS OF SEVEN MEMBERS
Essays and Music-DiplomaS Pre-
.Sented-Rema BY
Cabinet Officer.

Commencement exercises were held
in the Honolulu High school last even
ing. There We're three sweet girl
graduates and four young men, all of
whom acquitted themselves with credit
to their instructors, showing a careful
training both in thought and express
sion. A large audience gathered, most
of whom were friends of the graduates.
The wall back of the stage was drap-
ped in Hawaiian and American flags,
making pleasing back ground for the
palm and fern leaf decorations at the
front. Seated on the stage were Attor-
ney-General Smith, Inspector-General
Of Schools Townsend, the Rev. Alex.
Macintosh, Professor Scott and the
members of the graduating class.
The program began with prayer by
the Rev. Alex. Macintosh, after which
a song by the High school was given
treating of the Philippine Islands
Miss Gi1vin began with the discovery
Of the islands and gave an historical
account Of their colonization and slow
development up to the present. The
essay was an instructive one, we'll writ
ten and delivered in pleasing man
ner.
A mandolin and guitar selection left
a good impression with the audience.
Mr.. G. f. Wright chose for the sub
ject Of his essay "The Nicaragua
Canal, and handled the question with
skill. Mr.. Wright pointed out in a
forcible way the benefits which would
accrue to the Pacfic states il the canal
were built.
The High school gave there choruses
during the evening, the students sing
ing under the direction of Professor
Yarndley.
Miss Rice gave a carefully prepared
essay on The Indigenous Flowers OF
Hawaii" an essay full of blossoms and
trees, green fields and gayly plumaged
birds, and long, musical Hawaiian
words, an essay showing familiarity
with and love for the beautiful in Ma
ture.
MFR. Charles Elston sang one of De
Koven's songs Past and Future" Mr..
Elston has well trained tenor voice
and so pleased his hearers that an en-
core was demanded.
Robert ID. King gave an historical
account of the Constitution of Ha-
wall" mentioning the events which led
up to the adoption of the present Con-
stitution and closely analyzing that in
strument.
Minister Cooper was unable to at
tend the exercises but at the last mo-
ment Mr.. Smith consented to be pres
ent and speak to the graduates. Words
of advice coming from man of large
experience, from a man whose lot i;
| has been to fill high places in life
were of great worth to the students
| The closest attention was given him.
Professor Scott spoke to the students
on Habits" saying many things
which they will recall in the after
years and recognize as words of wis
dom.
| The presentation of the diplomas wa!
interesting and the amusing remarks
| of the principal, as each happy gradu
ate stepped forward, caused much
| laughter and drove away that sadnes:
which so often attends the parting O.

From the Republican. Versailles, Ind.
The fuckers, of Versailles, Ind, like all
fond parents, are completely wrapped up i'll
their children. Their daughter Lucy, in
particular, has given them much concern.
She is fifteen, and from strong, healthy
girl, three years ago, had become weak and
kept falling off in flesh until she became
mere skeleton. She seemed To have no HE
at all. Her blood became impure and finally
she became tn" victim of nervous prostra-
ton. Doctors did not help her. Most of the
time she was confined To bed. was very merry
Gus aud irritable, and seemed ON the verge
Of -. \itus' dance.
