WAS LOST BY UNCLE SAM
AN OUTCAST SOLDIER IN 4 BIG
ARMY CAMP.
Two Months Hermit in His Tent at
Camp McKinley-Found at Last and
Reclaimed.

If history of the Honolulu militia
ry camps Is ever written 1t will con-
tain some strange tales. 1t Will have
pages OF adventure, of rare eNperic /.
ces, of suffering, of pleasure, of pa
thos and OF cruelty. 1t will tell of ar
rogance and of the sweetest Christian
sympathy and charity; it will picture
hatred, IN one of its forms, and viii
show love and good will to men as the
Master taught 1t. These lines are liv-
ed in u day; and not a minutes of life
is enjoyed in a month.
One of its chapters will be given to
a man--an engineer whose company
passed on to Manila at the beginning
of the war-who has been here for two
months and more, a hermit in city
of men. His story is pathetic-wierd.
Even since Camp Mckinley was in
stituted he has been confined in tent
on the outskirts, with not cent in his
pockets, no one to talk to and unable
on account of military rules, to stir
from the place. The life was some
thing terrible, and has really changed
the mans nature. a month more of
it would probably have unbalanced his
mind.
His story is simple. He was left
sick here in the hospital. His company
went on. In some way he was lost,
as it were, by the military authori-
ties. When he recovered Camp Nc
kinley was about to be established.
He reported to Consul Haywood and
was given tent on the outskirts of
the camp. Being out of the regiment
there was no communication between
him and the men. He was allowed his
meals from the company kitchens.
Days and nights he spent alone in his
tent brooding over his singular mis-
fortune. He had nothing to read and
worst of all he had nothing to smoke
and no money with which to buy to-
bacco. He could not leave the camp,
because he had no pass and there was
no one to give him one.
His day came, however. Uncle Sam
missed his engineer soldier. He look.
ed for him in Manila, without success.
! Taking the back track he found the
man in'iis hermit state at Camp Me-
KinIey. Last Thursday Major Purdy
placed in his hands a little over 500.
his pay since the war began The
matter of passes was Strengthened
oub anu saturday AFTERNOON Ine poor
| fellow reached town. Like a bird
from his cage he tried TO go every
where and see everything. His first
purchase was fifty packages of cigar
cites, and next IA supply of under
clothing. Then he had a square meal.
At night he entertained some Camp
Mckinley friends who would some
times speak to him at meals.
The balance of the engineers diff
culties have all been solved Arrange
ments have been made for him to go
| by the Arizona to Manila In his own
words he will carry with him through
life the memory of his strange lot
here, when Uncle Sam lost him for
over two months, causing him such
sutferings as to almost unbalance his
mind. The man, at home, is a prom
! inent contractor of a big western city

THEY WANT PENNIES.

Children about town have lost their
love for soldier buttons. In a day the
craze has changed. The Kansas and
Washington men, now here, all have
copper one cent pieces common
in the states but almost unknown in
the Islands. These little bits of mon
ey have so charmed the children as
souvenirs that they are literally strip
ping the soldiers of these. The boy
with the largest number of "coppers"
is just now more popular in the child
community than the President, or ev-
en- the champion football player.

CAMP OTIS IS ABANDONED BAD BLAZE At KAUHI
HOUSE AND CONTENTS BURNED
TO THE GROUND.
No Water was Available to Fight the
Flames Said to be Covered
by Insurance.

\ destructive fire at Kalihi this af-
ternoon totally destroyed the eight
room cottage belonging TO Peter
O'Sullivan, and occupied by a family
named Maincourt. There are no hy-
drants or water mains i'm this region,
and the creek near by is practically
dry SO that the fire department which
responded promptly to the alarm was
not able to do anything expect keep
the flames from spreading.
The family were away at the time
the fire broke out and the house and
its contents was totally destroyed. 4
chicken house near by was also burn
ed. The barn which is at some dis
tance was saved.
The occupants of the house have
lived in Honolulu only about nine
months.
The house was a good sized cottage
worth $l,S00. 1t is believed the loss
was fully covered by Insurance.
Nothing is known as to how the fire
originated

TENNESSEEANS ARE HERE
BY THEIR OLD CHUMS
THE KANSANS.
They are a Fine Looking Body of Men
and Ships Officers and Comrades
Like Them.


The arrival of the Zealandia with
the Tennessee regiment was the sig
nal for a lively demonstration on the
Indiana. The Kansans welcomed their
brigade comrades with cheers, and the
regimental band was pressed into SER
vice to join in the clamorous welcome.
The Tennessee and Kansas regiments
have been decidedly chummy during
they stay in San Francisco.
The Tennessans have been written
about and talked about as no other
regiment has been. But they show
up fine looking, good natured young
men without the appearance of any
thing to be ashamed of, and there
is no evidence that they have.
The Kansans are their warm friends
and partisans. The Washingtons
speak well of them, and no one has
heard even the New Workers, who are
supposed to be their bitter foes, say
anything against them to their dis
credit
The officers of the Zealandia speak
in the highest terms of them. The
people of San Francisco liked them.
Here's to the Tennesseeans.
Colonel w. c. Smith, commanding,
is a Confederate veteran. He COM
manded the Twelfth Virginia of Ma
homes brigade in the Civil war, and
was at the surrender of AppomatoX.
First Lieutenant James X. Polk, the
regimental adjutant, is grand neph-
ew of President Polk. Major Cheath-
am is a son of the late General Cheath-
am. The regiment is from middle
L. l.; -,
sonnel.
The Zealandia, which brought the
Tennesseeans, has had some vivid eX-
periences since she was here last. She
was in Manila six weeks and was
caught in typhoon between Manila
and Nagasaki.
There are seven companies of the
Tennesseeans, j62 enlisted men and rs
officers. They have band. The of
| ficers are as follows:
| Colonel w. c. Smith, commanding;
Major A. b. Bayless. Major b. Frank

CITY OF COLUMBIA.
She has Been Turned Over to the
Underwriters.


The City of Columbia has been
turned over to the underwriters. She
is insured for $4,000.
The board which examined her con-
sisted of Captain Whitney of the Cen
tennial, Captain Barnesson, late of the
Arizona, WHO is interested in the Seat
tle-Honolulu line, X. T. Guard and c.
+. Fairer.
According to the Ililo Tribune the
board decided that the vessel was
practically broken backed, and even
if she could be got to port where
there were adequate facilities, re-
pairs would cost more than she is
worth.
The officers of the Columbia are
quoted as saying that they were in
strom and heavy sea when
the leak was discovered. None of the
several steamships arriving here over
the same course report storms or any
heavy seas. The machinery of the City
of Columbia is pictured as disabled
and in bad shape. On the run back
to Hilo after the leaks were sprung
she made nine and ten knots an hour.
The passengers were all transferr-
ed to the Centennial, which sailed on
Wednesday for Seattle.

TYPEWRITERS!!

In no line of mechanics is excellence
of construction of such vital import
ance as in Typewriters.
The PEERLESS is especially noted
for it's durability, simplicity and its
speed.
Considering first cost only the
PEERLESS is not one of the So
called "cheap machines" but looking
at it from a business point of view,
comparing quantity and quail
ity of work, loss of time from break
downs on steamer days, when the
Typewriter is most needed, and cost
of repairs, as well as the life of the
Typewriter, the PEERLESS is with
out an equal and is the cheapest ma

AN OLD FAvoRrTE.

Alas how easily things 90 wrong:
4 sigh too much or a kiss too long,
And there follows mist and a weeping rain,
And life Is never the same again.
Alas how hardly things go right
lis hard 70 watch on a summers night,
For the sigh VIII come and the kiss viii stay
And the summers night Is a winters day.
And yet how easily things go right,
If the sigh and the kiss Of a winters night
Come deep from the soul IN the stronger ray
That Is bOrn in the light Of the winters day.
And things can never 60 badly wrong
If the heart be true and the love be strong
For the mist, If II comes, and the weeping rain
VIII be chang ed By the love into sunshine again

4 Norton Man Has Large Feet.

Judge Hearst Of Norton is a very
nice man, good natured and genial,
but he has one defect in his physical
makeup that has been a serious annoy
ance all through his life. His feet are
large. Usually when any one comes to
his house he puts his feet under the
couch OF rocker, says the Oberlin Her
aid. Recently a friend Of the judges
who lives In Oberlin, was visiting at the
judges house and while sitting on the
porch the judges little daughter inter
rupted the conversation by saying, "Pa,
where's your Sunday shOes?" The
Judge at first ignored the little one,
but she was not to be so easily put of
and presently wanted to know where
his Sunday shoes we're. The judge
then enquired what she wanted with
them, to which the little one promptly
replied that she wanted them to play
shouse" in. The significant look of
the judges visitor caused the good
mBn to at once stick his under chair.
