Fire alarms are getting more fire.
quent nowadays. A stranger sudden
ly dropping in from Missouri would
have thought the whole town ablaze
Wednesday afternoon, judging from
the jingle of bells, the hurry-scurry
of the frightened populace, and the
ominous shouts of wild alarm that
shook the city from center to circum-
ference. Chief Herod's spectacular
dash with the ladder wagon through
the seething maelstrom on Fourth
street without running down half the
town was wonderful aud exciting
achievement. The fire proved to be
at the round house tank, and was
quickly extinguished. Think of wa

KATIE DONAHUE."
Song By Local Composer to be
Rendered Monday Evening.

On Monday evening the band, at its
Emma Square concert, will sing Katie
Donahue," the words by VIM. H. Mar
shall, the newspaper man, and the
music by Professor Berger.
In speaking about the song Mr.. Mar
shall said: L cannot commend the
music written by Professor Berger too
highly. He has been indefatigable in
his labOrs to properly equip my feeble
efforts with an air which, l think, as
sures the songs popularity. The Pro-
fessor, in his work, has entered heart
lily into the spirit of the line and by his
genius has made their suffering hes
itancy music. He has asked no reward
for his work except that the song be
rendered here before | copyright it at
Washington, thus showing the great
interest he takes in giving the Homo
lulu music loving public something
new
In this sCrdid age it is a great
pleasure to meet gentlemen of Pro-
fessor Berger's calber, who sacrifice
hours OF toll asking no emOlument and
receiving none, except the qualification
which their work gives 10 others.
4 hope the people of Honolulu will
like the words of Katie DOnahue' as
we'll as they Will the music"

GOLF AS A TEMPER TEST.
A Luck1ess Player Demonstrates
How Easy 1t Is to Control
Ones Self.

A golf story which should certainly be
added to the already excellent number to
which the game has given birth possesses
an advantage which cannot be claimed for
all of them, that of being absolutely authen-
tic. An enthusiast, who was somewhat of a
tyro at golf, though of great distinction at
other forms of athletics, had a series OF mis-
fortunes with which most people can sympa-
thize. He was playing against man whose
opinion he valued, and he consistently topped
his ball, sliced it, pulled it, lifted it into
tree, played fine cleek stroke into bunker,
and made extraordinary straight longdis-
tance puts in which the ball hoped genially
across the hole into the long grass which
skirted the green.
At first the players dcmeanor was omi-
nously sweet; he seemed positively to enjoy
his strokes; then he grew mad; then he grew
apparently careless, though his caddie no.
ticed the carelessless was only assumed, as
he was pressing horribly. The worst of golf
is that you can never deceive either your
caddic or your ball At last, at the seventh
hole, he grew wonderfully calm, and marched
off to the next teeing ground, remarking to
his trembling caddie that he would not
trouble to hole out. After an easy prelim-
mary swing or two he topped his ball, which
trickled away about 20 yards to the right.
Then the man took all his clubs and broke
them one by one across his knee, remarkIng
quietly to his opponent that sit is better to
break your internal clubs than to lose your
internal temper. r."-London Telegraph.

Development of Transvaal Crisis Is
Expected within a Few
Days.

. London, Sept. 2S.-A few days now
should witness a definite development
in the crisis in the Transvaal. The
volksraad was sitting in secret session
Wednesday evening and the burghers
doubtless had the result of the delib-
erations of the Orange Free State volks-
raad to guide them in making a deci-
sion as to the reply to Mr.. Chamber
lain's latest dispatch, which will prob
ably be handed to the British diplo-
matte agent at Pretoria, Mr.. Conyng-
ham Greene, to-day, and be discussed
by the British cabinet Friday.
1t is understood that the next British
note will virtually demand the absolute
fulfillment of the conventions of 1881
and 1884, which have been violated in
numerous points, but will accept five
years limit for the franchise.
Cablegrams from Pretoria and Cape
Town show that the general impression
prevails there that the Beers will not
recede from their position, and that the
feeling of unrest at Pretoria has been
intensified. A dispatch announces that
the Transvaal government has begun
to appoint officers to go to the front in
case of hostilities.

WRECK OF THE SCOTSMAN.
Fifteen cf Her Passengers Are Lost
survivors Robbed by Mep-
bcrs of the Crew.

Montreal, Que, Sept. 30.-Two hun
dred and fifty scantily-clad, baggage
bereft men, women and children were
on board of an intercolonlal special
which steamed into Bonaventure depot
Friday night. They comprised the
greater number of those who sailed
from Liverpool on September IA on
board the steamship Scotsman, bound
for Montreal, which was wrecked on
the shores of the straits of Belle Isle at
half-past two on the morning OF the
21st. 1t was not only a tale of ship
wreck that they had to tell, but one of
death, of suffering and pillage. For
Is at least of the Scotsman's passengers
perished; all suffered cruelty from
cold and privation, and, almost the
worst horror of all, the men who were
supposed to succor and assist those
committed to their care in the hour of
need turned on the helpless passengers
and with loaded guns and revolVers
compelled them to part with the few
valuables saved. Capt. Skrimshire and
his officers were exceptions. For the
honor of the British merchant marine
the crime may not be ascrlbed to the
men engaged in it, but to a gang of
wharf rats and hangers-on, picked up
on the docks at Liverpool to replace the
usual crew of the Scotsman, which
ioined the seamen's strike on the other
side.
All who perished were women. This
is accounted for by the fact that they
were occupants of the first boat which
left the steamer after she struck and
which was swamped before it could get
clear of the ship.
Hardly had the vessel struck before
men from the stokehole rushed into
the cabins, and, Sitting open valises
and bags with their knives, took all the
valuables they could lay their hands
on. Several of them fired shotguns
and tried to force men to leave their
cabins. In more than one instance
rings were torn from the fingers of
fainting and dying women. Capt.
Skrimshire and his officers could do
nothing against the mob.
When morning came it was found
that the Scotsman lay close inshore,
high. After much hard work the pas
sengers were gotten safely ashore.
A quantity of biscuit was carried on
shore, and on this, with very little
corned beef and wild berries, over 200
people existed for four days, when
they signaled the Montfort and the
steamship Grecian and were taken

COMMERCIAL WIT.
Parcel of Puns That Were worked
of All Right hut They
Didn't Take.

Four travelling men sat on the sidewalk
in front of the Windsor the other night tell
ing stories. The man who smoked stogies
had just finished somnambullst tale. :,
Reminds me of what the pickpocket said
to his fellow-prisoner," commented the man
with the nasal blossom.
''What was that?"
81 am here, gentlemen" he said, "as the
result of a moment of abstraction"
The pun fell with dull, sickening thud.
But the man who smoked stogies came to
the front again.
Like the incendiary, Ell? There is some
similarity. He was there because of his
habit of making light of things"
The blossomy man refused to be silent.
"But did you hear about the forger"
"No. Why?"
"He was there on account of simple de-
sire to make a name for himself"
The man with the stogie meditated. :.
THAT reminds me of the burglar" he
casually remarked There was three-min-
ute stage wait and the man who liked apple
jack gave way to curiosity.
"Why?"
GAS he said, through nothing but taking
advantage of an opening which offered IN
large mercantile establishment"
The blossomy man had departed, leaving
a wide, far-reaching void.-St. Paul Globe.

OncIe sam to GeOrgc0

Hello, Dewey!-Have seat!
How're tn boys? An how's tn fleet?
Little weary?-Never mind!
You can rest when you're inclined:
Rest on laurels, If you please,
On a hero's couch of ease;
Not, however, till we've had
Chance to show you that we're GLAD
Glad you're not now with the dead
Glad you had level head
Glad you laid the Spaniard low
Glad you proved a noble foe:
Glad you kept your record clean
Glad we made you marine:
Glad you braVely fought and won
Glad for everything you've done.
Glad? BY CAD we're glad, my lad
That George Dewey had a dad:
Glad he had mother, who,
Loyal to Red, White and Blue
Years ago, when he was young,
Taught him how to,-rUng by rung-
Mount Fame's ladder,-never stop
Till, by grit, he gained the top:
Taught him, when he'd won the fight,
How to stay there, on the height.
Glad to see you, George, but-Sayi
Don't get spoiled on Dewey day!
Don't get 'rattled" at the noise
Made by millions of my boys
Most of whom would lead the dance
If, like you, they had the chance.
Words like these all men admire
"Gridley, when you're ready, fire.
Keep that up!-Keep cool, my lad
Well raise Cain because we'Te gldG;
You just watch our smoke, my boy:
Note our overwhelming joy:
Don't get dizzv!-Calm content
Sometimes makes a president.
Hear that shouting: prolOnged:-loud!
George, tn whole darned nations proud
Proud of what you did that day
In Manila's beaStly bay:
Proud of yOu:-proud of feet
That knows no fear,-knOwS no defeat,
OF whom the wide world stands in awe.

the Walthall guards, OF Meridian, rep
resented Mississippi.
The Pine Tree state followed with o
signal corps.
Florida and Texas.
Florida made a fine showing with
five companies, and from the Lone
Star state came the famous Corsicana
rifles.
The District of Columbia was con-
spicuous by a battalion, several de-
tacbed companies, and an ambulance
corps.
The Unarmed Contingent.
Following these, under the command
of Maj j.-Gen. o. o. Howard, with an es-
cort from the various veteran societies,
came the unarmed part of the parade.
This was composed of II commands,
representing as many different associ-
ations. Then came the Sons of Vet
Grams, followed by Union EX-Prisoners
of War associations, veterans of the
civil war not connected with any of the
organizations, and veterans of the
Spanish-American war, with Col. John
Jacob Astor, his staff, and the Astor
battery.
Then followed camps of volunteers
of the Spanish-American war, the pa
rade terminating with a Heterogeneous
following of veterans, military and
quasi-military associations.
Applause For OIympia's Men.
AS the parade got in motion, the
crowds applauded with all their might
the $50 men from the Olympia.
''Those are the boys who did the
trick" shouted n gray-bearded man,
and this sentiment met with the full
agreement of the throng, who took up
the shout. The cheers for the Olym-
pia's sailors were still resounding down
the close-packed lines of spectators,
when a deeper, mightier shout arose,
and was taken up and prolonged in one
thunderous wave of sound, as Admiral
Dewey's carriage, in which was Mayor
Van Wyck, followed his ''men behind
the guns" bowling and smiling with
barred head to the shouting multitude.
A Memorable Progress.
1t was a memorable progress of the
victor of Manila from the tomb of the
great general of the civil war to the
triumphal arch, erected in his own
honor. The captains of the ships in
the fight at Manila were cheered hearth
ly as they passed. Capt. Coghlan re-
ceiving perhaps slightly larger share
than the others, frequent shouts of
''Hoch der Kaiser greeting his ap-
pearance, while his brother officers
Joined in the Iangh the shout always
provoked.
Santiago Heroes Cheered.
Admiral Sampson was cordially re-
ceived by the crowd and was repeated
ly cheered.
Quite a demonstration in honor of
Rear-Admiral Schley was made at the
starting point, and the cheers for him
almost equalIed those given to Dewey.
He was kept busy lifting his hat and
bowing an acknowledgment of the
ovation he received.
Admiral Philip Remembered.
Rear-Admiral Philip was another
favorite. His admonition to his men
at the battle of Santiago-Don't cheer,
boys, they are dying" uttered when
the Spanish fleet was wrecked and
sinking, was shouted at the bowling ad-
miral time and time again.
At the Reviewing Stand.
Admiral Dewey, arrived at the re
viewing stand at Madison Square nj
1:45 o'clock. The enthusiasm and
cheers that greeted his appearance
were tremendous. Several times the
crowds nearly broke through the po
lice lines in their wild endeavor to gel
near the admiral. Police had expect
ed the rush and succeeded in blocking it.
