The CORPSE
Care Them a Big Surprise
And the Funeral Arrangements Were
Knocked Into "a Cooked Hat.

Morgantown had great senss-
iion last Friday. A telegram had
Teen received there on Thursday
that Will Wilmington had died on
train al some point la lnditna
| and that the remains would arrive
home Friday. The relatives.
friends and the minister gathered
at the depot Friday to take the re-
mains in charge, and tho subse-
quent surprise is best told i'm the
following clipping from the Nor
gantown New Dominion
a" Will Wilmington is alive and
ia ut home. This is one Of the
greatest surprises that the town
has ever known and 1T is one Of the
most pleasant that it has ever OK
perienced.
The news OF the telegram an
bouncing his death spread rapidly
and when the evening train came
IN there was large crowd down at
the depot to escort their friend
home. Their surprise may be
imagined when be got off the train
alive. His partner, Max Waters.
was 80 overjoyed that he wept for
JOY and many Others wero deeply
moved.
The mistake made was a most
natural one and was made by the
conductor on Willis trsin. When
VIII left Chicago he was not feeling
well and shortly after that he
tainted. Arriving at Plymouth
Indiana. the conductor got of and
sent the telegram there announcing
the death as he supposed Will had
died. Before he revived the con-
ducters had been changed and the
lirst one does not know yet but
that he died. The second man and
Will himself did not know the mes
sage had been sent home and he
came on here IN ignorance Of what
had been happening. When he
saw the people and they acted as
they did he was alarmed but Rev
A. NJ. Buchanan soon treasured
him and told HIM what had hap
pened.
All day Thursday the friends Of
Wilmington had been telegraphing
and had been able to get not sim
gle response and this increased their
anxiety. Of course the mayor of
the town from which the telegram
was seat know nothing about the
matter and the conductor could
not be located. Consequently no
denial or affirmation of the first
message could be obtained"

TuE RAISING or RIyLNur.

Just now the question OF ralsiu Q
the war revenue is only secondary
in public interest to the expectancy
Of news of battle.
In the house Mr.. Dingley has re.
ported Il bill which provides a tax
OF 81 per barrel on beer. IL cents
per pound on tobacco, 81 per thou
sand on cigars and Gig 're,tes, "a
spccii license tax on dealers aud
pedlars OF tobacco and a stamp
tax on legal papers, proprietary
medicines, bank checks and drafts
1t further authorizes a $500, 600, 600
loan at 3 per cent. per annum,
payable in not less than ten and
aud within twenty years. In addi
ton. the bill authorizes the issue
Of 500 600 600 of certificates Of in
debtedness, to run not exceeding
one year.
Ninety million dollar, it is esti
mated, will be derived from the in
ternal revenue features of the bill.
The total amount. therefore, which
the bill involves is 5000 600. 600.
The Democratic, Popublist and
Silver Republican members of both
Houses are almost unit in oppos-
ing that part of the bill relating to
the bond issue. The principal
grounds Of objection may be sum-
married. as follows:
First. That the loan is excessive,
in view of the probable cost Of war
between now and next Deem Der
when Congress meets again and
will then have consideration Of the
subject.
Second. That there is no neces
sity at this time of bond issue.
Because, first, there remains avail.
able in the treasury more than sixty
million dollars in gold, over and
above the required hundred million
dollar reserve, of the proceeds of
the Cleveland. Morgan boad deal !;
second, forty eight million dollars
may be derived from tae coinage of
the seniorage in the treasury.
making u total OF more than SllO,
600, 600 that as Immediately avail
able. without the issuance OF IA dol
lar of bonds.
Third. That tax of one half
Of one per cent on bank deposits
Will add ten million dollars per
year TO the revenue expected to be
derived from The beer and other
domestic imposts provided for in
the pending bill. And lastly, a
tax should be levied on incomes.
The Democratic, Silver Republi
can, and PopuIst members com
plain bitterly that under stress of
exlgencies the Republican leaders
are trying to force through propo
sllion to bond the United States
for fvo hundred million dollars,
whilst refusing to make use Of the
forty eight million dollars of sen
forage available in the treasury, and
other means OF raising war reve-
nue. sufficient to meet the probable
cost OF this war, without resorting

days gathering at Waianae distanced

= BY the courtesy of the Waianae Su-

grove near the mill was placed at

most welcome gift it was. Those who
have not seen the place have missed
one of the charming spots in reach of
Honolulu. The picnickers thought so
too.
Long before half-past eight throngs

station, and it became evident that
the utmost facilities of the railway
would be taxed. But there was stand

Of twenty-one crowded cars pulled out,
over thirteen hundred went with it.
At $50 second train Of six or seven
cars took the rest of the crowd. An
early train from Waialua brought
around Sunday Schools from that and
intermediary points.
About II, the exercises, preliminary
TO the first, began. Various schools

recitations and original productions,
the latter often being the most enter

At half-past one, the crowd surged

were served, and a merry and happy

MARVELLOUS DANTE.
Striking Performance TO BE Given
Tomorrow Night.

Dante, the wizard, who will make
his first appearance in Honolulu to-
morrow night comes well recommend
ed. He is young, agile, plausible and
dexterous. He understands the art of
bewiIdering his audiences, and the
keenest eyes cannot detect one of his
secrets of legerdemain.
Dante does not have to rely for his
popularity solely upon the deXterity
with which he accomplishes the va
rious illusions which have made him
so deservedly famous, but he is pos
sessed of a magnetic temperament,
and is a most agreeable entertainer to
boot. His performance is not only
mystifying in the extreme, but is
thoroughly refined and pleasing. His
work is all clean-out and effective, and
he departs from the ordinary routine
of the magician by introducing many
features that are distinctly novel, and
of absorbing interest.
Edmunda, who accompanies Dante,
performs a marvellous bicycle act in
mid-air The law of gravttation gives
way to her skill, she propelling the
machine across the width of the
stage, head and body downward.
Seats for tomorrow night will be
placed on sale this morning at Wall
