MISS CRAFTS HAWAII N[I.JAPANESE NIPPON MARU.
a CLEVER BOOK BY A CLEVER
WOMAN.
Lots of Things in 1t We Don't Like
But Lots of Others That We will
Like.

Hawaii Nei," by Mabel Craft, is
quite the brightest and cleverest book
that has been written about the Is
lands for long time.
Miss Craft has not made the COM
mon, prosaic mistake OF so many writ
ers, that of trying to write a hand
book and compendium of the Islands.
Neither hand book nor history was in
her mind. She came here, she saw
things, she sought to know why they
We're as they were. What she saw she
describes, and with her descript on
she gives in broad, clear, clever gener-
alities the motives and events which
developed what she saw as she saw
it. Her concentrations, as generaliza-
tions usually are, are probably not all
precisely accurate. Some of them,
particularly the political ones, will not
find general endorsement here. But
the most heterodoX of them can be
read with pleasure even by those who
are winged by her shafts if they will
only bring a capacity to appreciate
humor to the reading. Indeed, no one
ought to read the book who can't ap-
preciate humor, for there is none of
the didatic style of the guide book or
the statistical report about it.
Its charm to the Islands will be that
it gives familiar things new setting;
recalls things that we know but have
forgotten and yet are pleased to have
recalled. 1t gives new turn to the
Kaleidoscope of Island life, and pre-
sents well known things in new light.
There is appreciation sincere and en-
thusiastic for the things we like best
ourselves, and if there is a tinge of
cynicism running all through it, it is
the cynicism of keen observation and
not of soured temperament.
To strangers it's charm will lie in
the feeling that the author has not
told all that there is to know or all
that she knew, after the manner of
the usual book on Hawaii; but that
that these Islands have still some
thing to be experienced and enjoyed
by the visitor besides what is contain
ed in the book.
The book is published by William
DoXey, in elegance of letter press and
attractiveness of binding. 1t is for
sale by Wall, Nichols Co.

Innovation AT THE WHARF
PUBLIC NOT ALLOWED ON THE
JAPANESE STEAMER.
Embargo Removed After It's Purposes
Were Accomplished-Chinese Regu-
lations and Chinese Threats Cause.

There was an innovation at the
wharf this morning when the Nippon
Maru came in, an innovation that sur
prised the oldest water front habitue
and looked like the days of the choI-
era quarantine. Nobody but health
and customs officers was allowed
aboard. Nobody but persons actually
connected with the vessel was allowed
on the wharf. The embargo was COM
plete.
There were two reasons. One was
that it was intended that this time
there should be no communication be-
on the wharf except Chinese and these
seeking landing, until after their in
spection. The other was that the pre-
vious practice of allowing anybody
on the wharf expect Chinese and these
only on passes, had led to threats of
suits against the customs officials by
Chinese merchants resident here who
claimed the same rights and privileg-
es as other merchants and residents.
The customs and Chinese business
was in such shape by noon that the
embargo was raised.

BUSINESS IN PHILIPPINES
LINES THAT WILL PAY THERE AT
PRESENT.
Valuable Information for Prospective
Manila Enthusiasts-M is Very
Plentiful.

II. +. Seymour, who was here as the
business manager of the L and / Com
pany, is now on the editorial staff of
the American, a bright little soldier
paper in Manila. Writing to friend
in the city he says of the capital of
the Philippines,
Manila was really a surprise to me
and is very hard to correctly describe.
There is as much life to be seen on the
'Escolta, the principal business
street, during the day as there is in
Broadway. New York, in the evening.
Everyone who has conveyance, and
most everyone has one (you can buy
horse, carriage and harness for $50
gold), drives on the 'Limeta.' the fash
ionable boulevard of the city.
Every third place on the 'Escolta'
is a saloon, and all are handsomely fit
ted up. Between them are stores of
all kinds. some fitted up in Partisan
style and others becoming rapidly
some instrument and in at least fif-
teen saloons you will find a native
band, playing all the popular airs of
the day.
The city being under martial law,
soldiers are seen everywhere. You
can't drive in any part of the city but
you see some old places occupied by a
company of them.
BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Money is plentiful here and the fol
lowing quick investments would soon
make fortune: An ice factory. a
steam laundry, one or two large Ame-
rican hotels, a brewery and an electric
railway. There will be room for all
branches of manufactures. People
are also awakening to the fact that
gold and other minerals are plentiful
here, and you can already hear of COM
panes forming. \ hustling American
real estate agent would also fill a
long felt want. In fact I think there
are great possibilities for young Ame-
ricanS here"

\ PATRICIDE.
Theological Student Kills His Father
for Insurance Money.

WICHITA, Kans., December 26.-
Governor-elect Stanley states that he
will not sign a warrant for the death
of John Henry Collins, convicted Sat
urday evening of the murder of his fa-
ther. That he does not believe in cap
ital punishment is the reason given.
Collins is the young theological stu
dent of Topeka, Kans., who has been
convicted of shooting and killing his
father as the latter lay asleep in bed.
The motive of the crime was young
Collins desire to obtain insurance
money on his parents life, amounting
to several thousand dollars, so that
he might marry young woman of
whom he was enamored. He at first
hired two colored men to put an end
to his fathers life, but they lost their
nerve and failed to carry out their
contract. At the trial these two men
confessed, and their stories were cor
rOborated in almost every detail. The
murdered man was a prominent bust
ness man of Topeka.

PUMPING UNDER THE BAY.
No Trouble in Laying Foundation for
the Brewer Building.


Fred Harrison demonstrated this
morning that pumping could be done
on the water front without bringing
up Mr.. Rowells greater harbOr. 1t was
in the hole to be used for foundation
for the store front of the new Brewer
block on Queen street. Water rose
four feet in it. Harrison contended
that it could be pumped out, but eV-
erybody else said it could not be.
Theo. Hoffman brought over from
the Alakea street works small cleo
trio pump to try it. The machinery
was set in motion. Gradually the wa
ter sank until the hole was pumped
dry. At present the pump is being
used only when the water rises high
enough to be in the way. The test
proves conclusively that, though so
close to the sea, there will be no troub-
le from water in laying foundations.
