( OCEAN MYSTERIES.
SECRETS WELL GUARDED BY OLD
FATHER NEPTUNE.

Vessels Which Have Sailed and Never Ieen
Heard of.-The Marie Celeste-An Ameri-
can Brig That Was lowed Into Port But
Her People Had All Disappeared.
When a well-found ship leaves port
and is never afterwards heard from, 1t
is put down as Il mystery OF the sea-
When a dead body encased in an I'M
identified lifc-jacket is lifted up by the
sleepless surf and cast on the wave
worn beach, that, too, is recorded as
mystery of the deep. The waterlogged
raft with the stump of distress sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyward; the
battered lifcboat with the oars drag
ging from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams and
planks floating silently on the white
crests, and in the dark hollows OF the
surging sea, these are likewise called
ocean mysteries. Sometimes these
marks of shipwreck and death are
picked up by more fortunate craft and
are brought to port to be mysteries no
longer. But there are mysteries of the
sea deeper than the plank, the crushed
lifeboat and the dead sailor. Man has
tried to fanthom them, hOpelessly at
tempted to put two and two together
that he might get at the truth. Noun
tains and valleys echo their secrets,
but the cruel old ocean never does.
There are greater secrets in Old
Neptune's care than those Of the MISS
ing ship. The Naronic went away and
never came back. So did the City OF
Boston, City of Glasgow, Erin, Alvo,
City of London, City of Limerick, Pres
idcnt Pacific and a score or others.
Yet the disappearance of these craft
arc ordinary mysteries Of the sea. A
greater mystery still Is when a crew
abandons it's ship and Is mover again
heard from. while the abandoned craft
is subsequently towed into port with
out giving the least trace of those who
had been in charge Of her.
Such case was thar Of the Marie
Celeste, and 1t is as weird and uncanny
a tale as even the Ancient Mariner
or the Flying Dutchman" aspired to
be. The remarkable disappearance or
the CeloStc's crew was made the sub
iect of an extensive investigation by
the State Department in Washington,
and it is from these records that the
particulars herein given were obtained.
The Marie Celeste was an American
brig of over 400 tons, and carly in the
~ hIr nrt fn Iillafrlnphp
in the Mediterranean. Several months
after her departure she was toWod INTO
port as sound as a new coin, but her
people. numbering thirteen, including
the wife and child of the skipper, have
not been heard of from that day 10 this,
Tho name OF the captain of the Marie
Celeste was benjamin Briggs, and he
hailed from New England. In addition

It was. the captain had boy ten years
old 1t had been his habit to take this
boy to sea with him, but on the event.
full trip in which he disappeared from
the face OF the globe, he left his son
behind. The latter has spent a small
fortune in trying to ascertain what
happened to his parents and the other
people of the brig after that vessel was
deserted; he knows as much now Of the
mystery as he did twenty years ago.

A Wish.
Blame once attached to men who
spoke
So, frequently and at such length.
For verbiage Is too oft the cloak
OF weakness rather than Of
strength.
But since the noise Of battle shook
The sphere we tenant through and
through,
And SORROWS rose WHEREOF we'd look,
Apologies are surely due.
Oh, gentle, flibustering sprite,
No more your dullness you rehearse.
We once regarded you with fright
We not confess things might be
worse.
So, patriot men of north and south,
While chasing Spain and watching
France,
Make haste to close the cannon's'
mouth
And give the orators a chance.

THE BOYS REDETTERD DAY NEGRO LABOR DSCUSSEDI
THANKSGIVING DINNER GUESTS
OF THE STAR.
For the Fourth Time the Newsboys
and The Star Will Celebrate Their
Cooperation in journalism.

This year, as they have done for the
past four years, The Star and its friends
will entertain the newsboys at a
Thanksgiving dinner.
The Stars Thanksgiving dinner has
come to be looked on by the newsboys
of Honolulu as one of the great events
of the year. The Star shares the feel
ings of the boys. 1t recognizes the val
ue of their work, and restless energy.
1t looks on them as CO-wOrkers with it
in the field of journalism. The past
year has been a prosperous one both for
it and them. With them and President
Mckinley it will take "a day off" and
celebrate that prosperity and the mutu-
al good spirit of work and enterprise
that have so largely contributed to
making 1t prosperous year.
There are upwards of fifty boys who
count themselves and are counted as
Star newsboys. In its circulation and
sale everyone of them finds regular and
remunerauVe employment. 1t is a field
in which, experience and energy tells.
Ii trains them in habits of industry, and
alertness. Their work is really a valu-
able adjunct of their school education.
Sometimes the boys in their eagerness
to make large sales make more noise
and display more activity than is really
necessary but that is because they are
boys, lusty, wholesome, energetic fell
lows who have a purpose in effort. But
anyone who sees the newsboys muster
and enjoy one of The Stars Thanks
giving dinners will forgive them ALL for
the genuine boyish enjoyment, and
youth renewing sight they present.
The program this year will be much
as usual. The boys will muster at The
Star Office at IL o'clock noon, and to the
inspiring strains of fish-horns and
youthful eXuberance of noise, will
march to the dinner which will include
roast pig, turkey and cranberry sauce,
pie that maketh glad the heart of boy,
and a whole lot of other good things.
There will be no formal post -prandial
oratory. The oratory will commence
with the first mastering of the boys
and continue right through to the end
of the dinner and will be eloquent of
thorough enjoyment. There are no lag
CARDS or Mute Millions" among The
| Star newsboys.
There are others besides the boys who
will enjoy it, There are men in Homo
| lulu who would sooner miss a dividend

GEN. CORBNS STATEMENT SMALL CHILD NDNAPPED'1
is NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD IN
HONOLULU.
Denied That Any Land Suitable for
Army Uses Has Been Disposed of.
Another County Heard From.

In his report to the President, recent
ly published, Adjutant General Corbin
says that the Hawaiian Government
has been disposing of lands so fast that
it is impossible for the War Department
to secure what it requires at Honolulu;
and recommending that the central gov
ernment Immediately take steps to
stop the disposition of lands and to
seize what may be needed for military
purposes.
There is not a word of truth in the
statement of Adjutant General Corbn,"
says Land Agent Brown, who has just
returned from Washington. mot a foot
of land about Honolulu, or on the entire
island of oahu, desirable for military
purposes, has been disposed of in any
way since annexation. If the Adjutant
General of the army can show me such,
l would be most happy to have a look
at it.
"As a matter of fact public officials
on the mainland are being pumped full
of mal-information sent out from Ho-
nolulu and the Islands. 1 saw signs of
it when east a few weeks ago. 1 have
an idea where much of it comes from,
but do not care to say.
The case of the old baseball grounds
is perhaps, what added General Corbin.
The army wanted this valuable prop
erty. 1t happened, however, that the
GROUNDS were especially set apart by
the last Legislature for a public park.
AS this all happened prior to annexa-
ton, or even any positive indication of
annexation, it would occur to most peo-
pie that the legislative act was legal
and reasonable. The title to a part of
the drill grounds, at Miller and Bere-
tania streets, has been clouded for
many years. This was fully explained
to Colonel Ruhlen last summer"
On the mainland the general idea of
late seems to be to Jump" the Hawai-
ian Islands at any opportunity. Henry
T. Schofeld, sixteen years chief justice
of Illinois, who was lately on the Paci-
f1c coast, said to the Examiner on No
vember 6:
And talking of Hawaii, the Presi-
dent did not Issue his proclamation for
bidding further land dealing any too
soon. There are a remarkable lot of
smart fellows down about Honolulu
who can give the average American
points on grabbing. They are max
ing the most of the annexation of the
islands to this country, and unless our
governmental authorities are watchful
there will be very little of the so-called
crown lands left by the time Congress
karPanges for the permanent~ govern
ment of the islands"

WILL II CURE EPROSY?
SHRUB OF WHICH GREAT HOPES
ARE ENTERTAINED.
Has Engaged the Attention of Surgeon
General Wyman and the Department
of Agrlcultural-Grow Here.

There is a shrub growing out at the
Experiment station on Makik street
which is believed to contain "A principle
which is a specific for leprosy. 1t is a
Venezuela shrub known there as tua-
tua, and by a number of other local
names. Botanically it is the Jatrupha
Gossypifolia.
Last March the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural sent twenty y-five
slips of the shrub to DR.. Maxwell with
the request that he plant them. Twen-
ty-three of them grew and are now
shrubs of some size and are lowering.
BY the last steamer, Surgeon General
Wyman, sent to DR.. Carmichael of the
United States Marine Hospital service,
bottle of the extract of the active
principle of the shrub and another bot
tie of the. extract in combination with
other drugs With these is a request
that experiments be made with them
in cases of leprosy here Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman also asks for a report on
the growth of the shrub at the Expert
ment station.
With his letter the surgeon general
sends tranSlations of accounts of cures
resulting from the use of the extract,
published in Venezuela and sent by the
United States consul at Maracaibo. One
of the most interesting of these is from
catholic priest who relates several
tion, one of them being in the case of
his own nephew.
The active principle of the shrub is
violently toxic in its effects, producing
purging, cramps, and convulsions, but
resulting, so it is said, in a complete
disappearance of the symptoms and
characteristics of leprosy.

CHINESE ARRESTED AND BOUND
OVER.
North Kohala Wrought Up over the
Disappearance-Fears that the Child
If Alive Will be Murdered.

KOHALA, November 1.-THE COM
munity and especially the Chinese of
North Kohala are very much wrought
up over what is believed to be the kid
mapping of a child. Some time ago d
little Chinese child two and half years
of age disappeared. 1t was supposed at
first the child had simply wandered
away, and the whole country was
searched. The father offered a reward
of $50 for the child alive, or $40 for its
body if dead.
Subsequently suspicion of kidnapping
fell on a Chinese and he was arrested.
There was testimony to the effect that
he was seen talking with another
Chinese the morning of the disappear
ance and that they both pointed toward
the house of the childs parents. There
was also some testimony to the effect
that the child was seen following the
man who was arrested. District Magis-
trate Atkins bound the Chinese over to
the circuit court in bonds of $500. The
parents and those Interested fear that
if the child is living the prisoner may
see that it is disposed of so that there
will be no proof of his guilt.
