THE APING OF ROYALTY

J. L. Toole, the English comedian, has
just undergone a successful operation fol
cataract. The preliminary operation was
performed two months ago and now all i'm
pediment to his sight has been removed.
A Frenchman arrested in New York fol
scorching few days ago misunderstood the
"Je ne sails pas" The sergeant at the po
lice station made him repeat this several
times and then entered him in the blottel
as johnny st. Parr.'
In addition to his magazine articles, Hob
son is said to be writings book dealing with
his experiences at Santiago, but not con
cerned with technicalities of engineering
The great drawback to his literary labor i,
that he is willing to drop it at any momen,
to talk about air bags, lists, displacements
and other subjects connected with wreck
age.
Captain Eulate's appointment to be cap
tain of the port of Cadiz is said to be due tc
a desire to reward him for refusing to sigr
the parole or accept the hospitalities of the
United States while prisoner at Annapo
lis. He is the only officer who did refuse
and the only one of the Santiago fleet, be-
sides Cervera, who has been honored by
the Spanish government.
w. Il. Clifford, who jumped into the sea
and Intellectually tried to save the life Of
Barney Barnato, the diamond king, has been
rewarded for his bravery by Mrs. Barnato
who has settled an annuity on him. His deed
of valor won bride. for him also and next
month he will wed Miss Gertrude Rodney
a South American heiress, who was on board
the ship from which Barnato jumped into
the Atlantic.
Dreyfus is supposed to be entirely igno
rant of the present agitation in his behalf
though, as a matter of fact, very little il
known of his state of mind or what infor
nation he has. The letters occasionally
finding their way into print as having been
written by the prisoner to his wife show the
calm consciousness of innocence, but he is
also said to be bombarding the president Of
the French republic with pitiable appeals
for his release.
Joseph Jefferson at recent dinner in
New York said that when called upon for q

A Greek Church In Old London

In 1876, one Joseph Georgeirenes, arch
bishop of Somas, came to London to obtain
assistance in publishing book of devotions
for the use of the orthodox community. He
found his compatriots at the west end of
London without church, and on his appli-
cation Compton, bishop of London, gave
him piece of ground in Soho fields on
which to build one. The bishops name, by
the way, is still preserved in that of the ad-
jacent Compton street, as also in Firth
street is the name OF one Mr.. Firth, who
acted for his lordsmp in the matter. George

She Made the Little Prince Apologize

The queen of Denmark was strict as
military commander and tolerated no op-
position to her will or moderation of such
punishment as she dealt out to her children.
jWhile merN boy her eldest son, the
crown prince, was caught one day trying to
bamboozle one of the sentries of the Royal
guard, of whom the little prince demanded
that he should present arms for him. Ac-
cording to court etiquette, a royal child is
entitled to shoulder arms" salute until
his confirmation, when "present arms is
the salute to be given by all sentries. The
boy prince demanded the latter salute, but
the sentry stuck to his orders and refused
to obey the request. The queen obliged the
prince to go down and ask the soldiers
pardon "for unbeftting attitude and rude
ness" and having done this properly, he
was locked into his room for two consecu-
tive days.-Boston Transcript.

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE stock market
has recently emancipated itself in a large
degree from the influence of Sugar, Tobac-
co, and like uncertain quantities, but the
violent gyrations of Sugar In todays mar
ket could not but have rather unsettling
erect. Quotations were almost lost at
recorded all the way from 1875 down to 124.
Betore noon the price was quoted at liz,
and again before the close 1t went back to
IA. The early decline was based on the
fall in the loaning rate, which was taken
to indicate the conclusion of the squeeze
against the shorts, and the subsequent re-
covery came with the announcement of the
advance in the price of the product by the
companies alleged to be engagedln a trade
war of determination. The enormous vol
ume of transactions in this speciality gave

ton for Atchison preferred also ran all
the way from Al at 42A for simultaneous
sales of $500 shares. The high price proved

FOUR MEN RESCUED FROM A
PERILOUS SITUATION.
Went to Sell Soda Water to the Sol
diers on the Transports and Fell In
to Danger.

Four natives had narrow escape
Saturday from drifting helplessly out
to sea, and possibly, as their early
progenitors in these islands, lighting
on some new lands in the wide Paci-
tic and becoming the founders of
new nation.
They started out in fat bottomed
scow boat. with pieces of broken
boards for paddles, to sell soda water
and fruit to the soldiers on board the
transports. then lying outside, wait
ing for the repairs on the Indiana.
They got along all right as long as
they were in the channel But when
they reached the rough water and
caught the stiff otf-shore breeze out
side, their improvised paddles proved
inefficient, and they began to drift to
the southwest. No particular atten-
ton was paid to them by the men on
the transports, who were the only
ones who saw them, until they had
drifted so far that they could barely
be seen from the deck of the Indiana.
Then it occurred to someone that
they must be adrift or they would
not go so far in such frail craft w.
larsen, with the Union Express Com
pany's launch, was waiting with The
Indiana to bring ashore the Union
Iron Work employees who were work
ing on the lndiana's boilers. He was
told of the matter, went on deck and
got their direction and then started
out to rescue them. When he reach
ed the scow the men were almost eX-
hausted in their attempt to paddle
against wind and sea. and almost in
panic at their danger.
They were towed back to the In
diana, and as soon as the worlImen
were ready to come ashore were
brought in.
The four were all grown men fa-
miliar with the harbor and the dia-
cent waters, and surprise is expressed
that they should have risked them
selves in the way they did.

NATIVES OFT FOR MANILA.
MONADNOCK WILL TAKE TWO
BOAT CREWS OF THEM.
Heavy Surf Boats Have Been Purchas-
ed and Hawaiians viii Man Them
to Coal at Sea.

The Monadnock and Nero will sail
for Manila tomorrow fully equipped
to coal at sea according to the most
approved means of lightering in use
in the rough roadsteads of these Is
lands.
Captain Whiting has studied the
problem of coaling at sea which he
will have to solve between here and
the Philippines. He took into con-
sideraton the offer made by Wilder's
Steamship Company to take the Mon
terey there, and concluded that the
services of natives accustomed to
handling surf boats would be useful.
He applied to the Wilder company for
some of the heavy surf boats used by
the Islands steamers and also to Sc
lect for him crews to man them. He
was provided with two of these boats
and is shipping ten natives this af-
ternoon. Several natives have al
ready agreed to go, being released by
the Wilders in order that they might.
With these boats and crews it is
confidently expected that coaling at
sea can be safely and eXpeditiously
accomplished.
The coaling of the Nero and Mo
nadnock will be completed this after
noon. The Nero takes $50 tons OF
coal in bulk and 227 tons in bags, the
latter being intended to be put on
board the Monadnock at sea after she
has burned up what she carries in her
own bunkers
Considerable repairs and improve
ments have been made on the monitor
since she arrived here. She was not
designed for long sea voyages and
her condensing apparatus was found
to need changes and additions before
it would be prudent to start on so
long voyage as from here to Mani
la. The men on the Monadnock have
been working on these changes night
and day and they are expected to be
completed in time to sail tomorrow.
The transports sailed a little after
3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the re-
pairs on the Indiana being then com

PRAISE FOR THE REGULARS

RANK OF COLONEL.

Colonel Brainerd's Career.

That there are men who rise from
the ranks of the regulars who occupy
prominent position is shown by the
following letter, received today:
Honolulu, II. l., July II, 1898.
To the Editor of The Star:
VIII you be kind enough to give me
space in your paper to make cor
rection in regard to the true status
of the gallant Colonel Brainerd,
whom the p. c. A. makes lieutenant
in the Greeley expedition. l have
watched his course since his return
from the Arctic, read his and Greeley's
report with care, and will make the
following statement to prove he was
not lieutenant on the expedition to
the North Pole:
Danield l.. Brainerd born in New
York. He was private. corporal and
sergeant of Troop L, Second cavalry,
L. S. A., Septem IS, 1876 to July 81,
1884. Sergeant signal corps, August
/, 1884, to October 21. 1856. Appoint
ed second lieutenant Second cavalry,
October 22, 1886. First lieutenant
Second cavalry August IA, 1898. Cap
tain, October IA, 1896. These latter
promotions were as a recognition of
gallant and meritorious services rem
dered by him in the Arctic expedition
of of 1SS1-S4
With the above facts before you you
can see that the colonel was in 1884
simply sergeant, L. S. A. Greeley
was the lieutenant and Brainerd the
sergeant of the expedition. Brainerd
with Lieutenant Lockwood, who died
on the trip, went further north than
any other explorer ever did and there
he planted the American flag. |
would like this correction made as
simple justice to one of the most gal
liant of explorers. Also in justice to
the non-commissioned staff of any
command. Glory is not always con.
fined to the commissioned officers
The non-commissioned and private
are entitled to some recognition. Sc
