FORTUNE IN STRAY VALISE.
Fifty ThOusan Dollars Travels Safe
ly from san Francisco to Homo
lulu Unguarded.

r. B. Danning, who left Honolulu Au-
gust 80 on the steamship Australia, lost
a valise containing nearly $50,00o in
bank notes, bonds and sugar stock in
the Occidental hotel just after he ar
rived in San Francisco. The vaise
was shipped by mistake on the Nippon
Maru as part of the personal effects of
Purser piver. The latter discovered the
mistake before arriving at Honolulu
and left the yalise on the Pacific Mail
wharf He evidently had no idea of the
value of the contents of the vaEse, as
he made no report to the steamship
co,npany's agents, and the valise con
tanning small fortune lay compare
lively unprotected among other un-
called-for packages until adyices re-
ceived by the Belgian King resulted in
a search being made The lost valise
was found intact. E.,

will be run strictly on business princi-
Piles. The present plan provides for the
rent of 364 single rooms at three to six
dollars each week, and II rooms, with
two alcoves, at eight dollars each. The
restaurant will also be run on low
rates.
The exact location of the new hotel
has not yet been determined upon, but

at some point between Union Squire
and Thirty-fourth street, and not far
from Broadway. The total cost, includ-
ing the land, will be $s0O,O0O half of
which will be covered by 100000

GIRLS FORM A ..PIE'' SOCIETY.
Missouri University Co-eds Improve
ON the Old Greek Letter
sFrateFnities.

The Eight M Pi is the unique name
OF unique society which was organized
at Columbia, Mo. It resembles some
what college Greek letter fraternity.
The last two syllables of the name are
formed by Greek letters, but the firstis
simple English. The name is of artfully
concealed significance. Translated
into English it is ATE New Pie"
The essential qualifications for men,
bership are beauty and relish for pie.
The first requirement of a member is to
learn to cook pie. The initiation is en-
tirely conducted by means of new pies,
several of which are served in rapid sue
cession to the "frat.''
The object of the society, aside from
the pleasure to be d erived from pie par
ties to be given by the order, will be to
improve the quality of American pies
by instruction in the art of baking.
The present members and originator Of
the society are Miss Younger, of Bowl
ing Green; Miss Ayers, of Arkansas,
and Misses Gould, Ringo and Storm, of
Kirkaville. T.: = -, =: @,.ss,s.s -, - I -:

BOSTON, S TURN NOW
Does Her Part IN showering Honors
,s. ON the Head Of Admiral ..
T. Dewey. &

Boston, Oct. 16.-The residents of
Boston and vicinity, augmented by
thousands of visitors from other Sec
tions of the commonwealth and from
adjacent states, Saturday, did honor to
Admiral Dewey. The hearty greeting
with which Admiral Dewey was re-
ceived when he arrived Friday night,
direct from his native state, seldom if
ever has been equaled here; but the pre-
shadowed Saturday in that given by the
multitude whenever the famous Ver-
monter appeared in public, and partic-
ularly as he rode through the city in the
front ranks of the brilliant naval and
military pageant which was the chief
event of the day.
The demonstration was really one in
which all the states from eastern Can
ada to Long Island sound united to ac-
knowledge: the honors due the great
naval leader and his men for their tri-
umph in the bay of Manila.
Some of the New England states sent
their governors and some number of
their other prominent men. From all
parts came large delegations.
The first part of the days programme
was devoted to a musical recital by the
school children of the city to the num-
ber of about $4,000 on the common at
ten O'Clock. The admiral and party
were escorted with difficulty from his
headquarters at the Hotel Touraine
through the immense crowds.
From the common the admiral and
party were conducted to large review
ing stand in front of the city hall
building, where, just before II o'clock,
Mayor Quincy, in the presence of city
officials and guests and thousands OF
spectators, presented him on behalf OF
the city of Boston with magnificent
jewel-studded watch. This ended the
part of the programme allotted to the
city government, with the exception OF
the later entertainment provided fol-
the officers and men of the Olympia
The admiral was driven to the Back
Bay, where the parade was in process OF
formation, and the commonwealth OF
Massachusetts, assumed the direction
of affairs.
The days events for the admiral
ended with reception and banquet at
the Algonquin club, at which Gov. VOL
colt proposed the toast: "Admira]
George Dewey and the United States
Navy" The admiral acknowledged the
toast in a few words.
Amid the cheers of 10000 people Ad.
miral Dewey departed from Boston
Sunday night on the Federal express
for Washington. The admiral spent a
very quiet daY in the city.
