far than the ruby red ard cornflower
blue velvet bands that claim a very
respectable following. The dark blue
and green and red sailors are gay
enough with their crown bands of gold
ribbon, or their braided gold or silver
cords that, like those on a sombrero,
tie in a bowknot at one side, with ball
or tassel ends lying out on the brim.
One can hardly agree that these, pretty
as they are, have any recommended
tons for practical uses, for fancy the
result to the bullion braid on a foggy
day at the seashore, where a sailor hat
should be of service if anywhere.
Something of undeniable charm has
the pink. blue or plaid bingham band
that fastens in place by a couple of
pearl buttons or a small silver buckle.
There is downright reason in that, for

Mrs. Lynch Will Seek Separation
From Her Husband.
Chicago Tribune.)

Paris. May.-Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Lynch are living apart in this city
she in fine apartments in the Bots oe
Boulogne, he in downtown hotel. Mrs.
Lynch was formerly Miss Robbins
of Brooklyn, n. Y, and a sister of
Mrs. Henry I. Sloane, now Mrs. Perry
Belmont.
To reporter today, Mrs. Lynch said:
1T is true | have consulted my New
York and Paris lawyers about getting
a separation from my husband. | have
been contemplating a partial divorce

him to go into the country, as Paris
IS not a fit place for him, but he will
not go. / had hoped arrangements for
a separation might have been made

Mrs. Lynch's declaration was made
in the presence of her two daughters,
who are fully aware of the existing I'M
fortunate conditions. Mr.. Lynch is
much distressed over the report that
he intends to sue for a divorce, and
denies that he has any such intention.

line TO record until autumn.
The Sunbonnet.
Sunbonnets were given a trial last
summer, and it is almost difficult to
supply the present demand for them.

deep stiffened hoods, full gathered
backs. garnished with frills and lace,
shoulder flowers to accord, and wide
fringed and Powered ribbons to tie on

pique and brown linen ones are made
for golfers. The bonnet is tied rather
loosely round the neck. and is pushed
of the head when shot is made, and
pulled back when the player goes in
search of her ball.
Some of these are prettily and appro-
priately embroidered in colors, and the
women are far more ready to use them
when driving about to picnics, to the
market town, and when beating and
yachting, than when playing the popu-
lar game.
Scarlet For Yachting.
Never has pique known as many
worshipers as this season. Every gown
for outdoor pleasure is made of 1t, and
the one flaw on its perfection is its
proneness TO fade when the white is
adorned with embroidered dots or
stamped flowers. There seems to be a
fondness for high, rather glazing color
in the yachting and boating suits of
pique, and many are the gowns of all

scarlet, and further emphasized with

An Offer.

A noted Boston writer not long ago
received the following offer to &c
pardners in the literary business" The
writer declined the offer on the score
of having more work than he can
now do:
Dear Sir-I have proposition to
make to you which, 1 think, may be to
our advantage for you to accept. 1t is
for you to go pardners in the literary

THREE WHIMSICAL TITLES.
Duke of Marmalade, Count of Lem

Among the whimsical titles which
appear on the pages of history. few
are apparently more frivolous than the
Duke of Marmalade, the Count Of
Lemonade, and the Earl of Brandy.
They are, or were, however, genuine
titles. bestowed by a genuine monarch
on three favorites. and that, too, in

Especial Correspondence

New York, May 1.-THE time is ripe
for a discussion of the sailor hat that
is already Gaping the majority of
heads of both sexes. There is nothing
new to tell of the shape of it. Medium
crown and brin are emphatically pre-
ferred, and cream white fat or pine
apple braid is what the incest are made
of. Last year we suffered from an in
vasion of straws of mixed coiors: this
summer. if you must have variety and
color, take it out in your crown band.

than silk velvet brocade. and is far
more striking in appearance. Another
feature of the transparent train is its
lining, which must be of diaphanous
material to preserve the character of
the novelty, instead of being composed
of rich satin. such as is ordinary now.
1t was thought that the new train
would not spread so gracefully as the
old one of stiff brocade or velvet. but
modistes have made sure of the splen-
did fabric at the edges, so that some
substance is given to il in this way.

The Palolo Land and Improvement
Company is the name of new popular
concern for the development of a big
suburban tract that has applied to the
Government for incorporation.
The present capital stock of the com
pany will be $500 900, divided into 1000
shares of $1O0. OF this capital $4,000
will be paid up and $l50,00O assessable
stock. The paid up stock will be sold as
well as the other, the provision for it
being made merely because some peo-
pie prefer to invest that way.
The company has purchased from
Bruce Cartwright and others 1400 acres
of land in Palolo, mauka side of the
Waialae road and extending 1000 feet
toward Waialae over Telegraph hill.
The tract adjoins Kaimukii on the town
side. Taro and rice lands in the tract
brings an annual income of $2500. About
500 acres are suitable for coffee.
The fiat extending from the road up
to an elevation of 800 feet, containing
about $50 acres, will be divided into
quarter and half acre lots and placed
on the market. Every encouragement
and assistance will be given to owners
to make the district a banner suburban

BRUGUIERE WAS BLAMELEss.
Starbuck Lost by Striking an Unchar.
tered Rock.

Captains Bollcs and Bulger render
ed decision yesterday, says the Call
of the nth, in the matter of the loss
of the steamship Starbuck off the coast
of Nicaragua on February 81 of this
year, in which they eXonerated Cap
tain c. j. Bruguiere, the master, from
all blame. The inspectors found that
the Starbuck at the time she struck
was about four miles off shore and
from eight to ten miles southeast of
COnSeuuna Point. The chart of the
coast in that locality as issued by the
photographic office of the United
States navy and corrected to Novem-
Der, 1897, shows from twelve to four
teen fathoms of water four miles off
shore and no indications of rocks or
shoals at that distance from the land.
There is a small shoals at that dis
tance about one mile off shore and
seven miles southeast of COnSequina
Point. AS the Starbuck after strik-
ing ran thirty minutes for the land
at full speed. in which she must have
run three miles and then had seven
and half fathoms of water, il was
/ evident that she was well outside of
the shoal. In concluding their report
the inspectors said:
After careful consideration of the
evidence we are of the opinion that
the steamship Starbuck struck on an
unchartered rock, and that Captain
Bruguiere was navigating her in II
careful manner and did all that was
| possible to save the vessel after she
| struck"
The inspectors placed the value of
| the Starbuck at 100000. She was a
| total loss. Eleven passengers and a
crew of fifty-nine were on board and
all were saved. One-half of the 500
| tons of cargo ON board was saved;
| whine unknown.

a Resident of the Islands for Thirty
five Years.

Knights of Pythias, of which organi-
zation he had long been member,
