VALUE OF SPENCER ESTATE THE ORATOR|O CONCERT.
APPEARANCE OF MRS. GEORGE
w. MACFARLANE.
Orchestral and Vocal Treat Promised
for Tomorrow Evening by Disting-
uished Amateur Talent of the City.

Mrs. George w. Macfarlane will sing
oratorio at the concert Thursday night
for the first time in Honolulu. She
made her debut in oratorio in the Alex
andria Palace, London, Sims Reeves
singing with her, to a chorus of 800.
She took the Prince of Wales scholar
ship in the Royal College of Music ov-
er all competitors and held 1t for four
years. 1t is the custom for the Prince
of Wales to assign some celebrated
singer as the instructor of the person
winning this scholarship, and to Mrs.
Macfarlane he assigned Jennie Lind.
On the death of Jennie Lind, about six
months later, Otto Goldschmidt took
up the work of instruction.
Although Mrs Macfarlane is thor
oughly familiar with operatic and bal
lad singing she still finds her greatest
delight in oratorio. In singing it here,
however. she misses the orchestral ac-
compartment. Requests have been
made through Wray Taylor that she
sing Angels Ever Bright and Fair"
which she sang at Kawaiahao church.
Among other interesting remembran-
ces of Jenny Lind, Mrs. Macfarlane
has IA number of great singers auto
graph letters.
Following is the program as finally
arranged by Wray Taylor:

FRANK GOODMAN HAS MISTAKES
IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
Bookkeeper for Hawaiian Electric Co.
will Try to straighten out the
Matter in the East

Frank Goodman, bookkeeper for the
Hawaiian Electric Company, is short
in his accounts about 81, 500.
The deficit appeared some months
ago, and Mr.. Goodman himself called
attention to 1t. At that time it was
not apparent how it occurred or who
was directly to blame 1t was clearly
case of mistake.
Mr. Goodman admitted the shortage
and said he wo0ld make 1t good. There
were relatives in the states who would
put up the money. The electric COM
pany people had confidence in the
young man. and allowed him the time
desired for communicating with his
relatives.
1t appears, however, for some reason
unknown at present, the matter has
not been Strengthened out. Last week
the books in the office of the Electric
Light Company were overhauled, and
Mr.. Goodman was divested of his re-
sponsibility there.
1t is believed that Goodman left by
the Australia yesterday afternoon for
the mainland.
Little will be said by Mr.. Hoffman
or Mr. Brown concerning the matter
They and others about town hope that
the matter will be Strengthened out to
the satisfaction of everyone concerned.
Mr.. Goodman has a wife and children
here. They are well known and have
many friends,

BARRELS Of GOLD MONEY
BIG CHECKS DO NOT WORRY THE
LOCAL BANKS.
How Edward Pollitz's Paper for $3.50,
900 in Gold Coin was Handled-Pler.
ty of Cash in the Islands.

A leading street topic today has been
the big $250,000 check of Edward Pol
litz, given yesterday for 1000 shares
of Honokaa stock.
The check was given to Senator Hen
~ Waterhouse about noon yesterday.
Prior to that the Queen street broker
had "corraled" the shares required
and turned them over when the check
was presented. Quite an outlay of
cash was necessary beforehand to get
the stock and Mr.. Waterhouse wrote
a few pretty good sized checks himself.
Then came the bulk transfer and the
big check. The paper was drawn on
Claus Spreckels & Co., of Honolulu. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Pollitz brought
to that firm of bankers direct a gilt
edged letter of credit for a much larg-
er amount than the check advanced
No coin was in the transaction. In
the check matter, however, there was
call for big payment of coin. Henry
Waterhouse & Co. have no account at
Spreckels' bank, and it was understood
from the first that there would be a
Withdraw wal of actual cash.
This caused talk. Some men said
neither of the banks kept so much time
deposit cash on hand. Subject to check
cash is held, of course, against ac-
counts of that kind strictly. While the
banks were full of money, such large
dHlOuIll VI COiI WAS IlOI dNdlldDle any
where at once for letter of credit de-
mands.
This idea proves wholly incorrect,
which bears also upon the much moot
ed question of currency atloat. Cashier
Spaiding of the Spreckels bank, while
naturally declining to divulge the de
tails of the transactions of customers,
said this morning:
THE public may rest assured that
this bank is able to meet any checks,
large ones against letters of credit not
excepted. cannot give out the de-
tails of this transaction, but will say
that the check called for a very large
outlay of coin. The bank had the
available cash to meet it, and will be
able to meet other large papers of the
same character. The transaction is of
course in a distinct province to check
and reserve business"
Senator Waterhouse said: None of
this money goes out of the country. II
is found here and remains here. This
morning it is distributed in many
hands, and has begun to circulate.
That is a great benefit, directly or in
directly to everybody"
1t was rumored this morning that Mr.
Pollitz was negotiating for an option
on another big block of stock. The Sar
| Francisco man will not talk of the
| matter, and seems to think the deal OF
yesterday was rather small to excite
! so much interest
| From the banks it is learned tina;
this is the largest check ever given in
| the Islands by a depositor for payment
in coin. There have been large trans
| actions between banks and larger
checks have been given, but not car
rying the actual exchange of coin. Mr.
Pollitzs check is to Honolulu what

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF THE
RIUSHNI.
Water Casks Burned by Friction in
Their Stanchions-Under Bare Poles
in Gale Eight Days.

Eight days under bare poles, carried
along by the wind and sea at the rate
of five knots an hour, with anchors
gone, fore topmast gone, foremast
wrenched and useless, water supply
gone by the casks burning from fric-
tion between them and their stanchions
as the vessel tossed and pitched, such
was the predicament of the Japanese
schooner Rushui Maru, with seven
teen souls aboard, which put into this
port in distress yesterday afternoon.
I'VE sailed from Toxic December 81, =
said Captain X. Nakagawa, ION a
shark fishing cruise along the coast of
Japan. We had only moderate success.
January II we were struck by a strong
westerly gale. We put into the coast
and tried to anchor. but the gale was
so stI ong that we lost three anchors,
all but one we had. The fore topmast
was carried away and the foremast
wrenched so that it was useless. We
were carried along before wind and sea
for eight days, much of the time at
the rate of five knots an hour. our
supply of water was in square wooden
casks held in place by stanchions. The
tossing of the vessel was so terrific
that the friction between the casks and
the stanchions started fire which lost us
our supply of water What was not
lost was SO impregnated with charcoal
that we could not drink 1t. We mad to
depend from that time on for water
on rain water we could catch in our
sails. However there was so much rain
that we did not suffer particularly on
this account.
January % the gale moderated
somewhat though the gale was still
strong from the west. Unable to heat
back to Japan, against this wind, on
account of the damage to our foremast,
l decided to try and make Wake Is
land, which is in latitude "a north and
$50 west But when l got into this vi
cinity the weather was so thick and
heavy and the gale so strong that in
my disabled condition with only one
anchor, 1 did not dare remain in tine
vicinity. l anchored once in seventy
fathoms. But the conditions were too
perilous and the winds continuing wes-
terly, L decided to try and make the
Hawaiian Islands"
Captain Nakagawa called on the ia
panese consul this morning. He hopes
to be able to make repairs at once, put
in supplies of fresh water and veget-
ables and start back to Japan. The
schooner is owned by a lieutenant in
the Japanese navy. She is of about AZ
! tons burden. Her boats are Borneo

A coRK1NG GOOD TIME.
Sadie White, the Famous Stowaway
Sails for California

Sadie White, who gained information
al fame by slowing away on an army
transport, returned to the coast by the
Australia yesterday.
Dressed in the uniform of a soldier,
she slowed away on the transport In
diana, when she sailed from San Fran
cisco last October. Some of the SOL
diers aboard helped to hide her and
one of them was put in the guard
house for twenty days and was fined
$40 for his part in 1t. Sadie was not
discovered until the vessel was three
days out at sea. She was put ashore
here and given into the custody of the
police. She found friends, and seeur-
ed employment here, and after So
journ of about four months in the Par
adise of the Pacific, decided to go back
to earth and the coast.
When she first came here she said
her reason for slowing away was that
she had lover, a sailor on the Ben
nington, then stationed here. But
this lover proved recalcitrant and Sa-
die let it go at that, finding in the hos
pitality that met her here enough rec
ompense to give her, as she expressed
it herself just before leaving, "a cork
ing good time"
