was that the Doric arrived in San
Francisco just as the China was leav-

tunity of answering letters sent by the
Doric. Therefore, the local heads OF
the syndicate will await these advlces
before making their application for
charter. Mr. Lilienthal left San Fran
on the 18th. His trip will be of about
three weeks duration, after which he
will come TO Honolulu.
Temporary quarters have been ar
ranged for in the Campbell block.
These will be used unless permanent
quarters are decided upon before the
opening of the institution.
Formal notice of allotment of stock
to applicants, and of the calling IN OF
the first assessment is to be made in a
few days Maj. Purdy, who arrived
by the China, and who was formerly
stationed here as United States Pay
master, is slated for the position OF
paying teller. He is a man of wide
banking experience, and comes highly
recommended to the new institution.
Mr.. Boyd, whose appointment as sec
rotary and assistant accountant was
spoken of in the Advertiser some time
ago, is also here. These two appoint
ments, together with Mr. Cooper,
chief accountant, are the only ones
that will not be made from this side.
1t requires much time to start a
bank and to get it in good running or

and connections established. This is
all being done as rapidly as possible

The Fourth Of July General Com

of the cost of the various features.
The total amount of money that Is

The literary committee reported that
the exercises will probably be held
in the Opera house at IL a. m. al
though it is not yet definitely decid-
ed. The ball committee has not yet
determined where that part of the cell
ebration will be held, although the
choice lies between the Executive
building and the Drill shed. The pa
rade committee under the direction
OF Col Jones, chairman, has already
taken active steps, and an imposing
pageant is promised. One of the most
favorable reports was that of the fire
works committee. Mr.. J. F. Kennedy
there were sufficient fireworks in the

Sheridan will not be ready to sail for
Manila before month, says the San

Hulls and Boilers Bolles and Bulger
held an inspection on board at the re-

would require considerable repairing

another trip across the Pacific. Under

Yesterday afternoon two socket bolts
blew out, and it will take, in the opln-

five days to repair the damage and put
the boilers in proper condition again.
The Sheridans boilers have received
pretty hard and constant treatment
since she went into commission, and
while the discovery of weakness is a
disappoint' hent to the Quartermaster' S
department here, as it will upset their
calculations considerably, the Govern
ment officials are we'll satisfied that
the weak places made themselves
manifest in port, and not while the
transport was far out on the Pacific.
The City of Puebla will probably be
rechartered to carry the troops intend

them. He had tossed the last one over
the roadside fence when the farmer

CAcTI IN A BOTTLE.
Thus IncIosed They VIII Grow with

iah for Years.

A new method of growing cacti has
heen discovered in the botanical gar
iens of Berlin. All that is required is a
shapely bottle, little rich earth and a
few cactus seeds that can be bought Of
any florist for a few cents. Bottles in
which creme de menthe or some of the
other cordials usually come, are well
adapted to this purpose on account of
the clearness of the glass and the grace
of their shape.
Having secured the bottle, cleanse it
thoroughly and then put earth in it un-
til the bottom is covered to a height of
about an inch. Sprinkle this earth WELL
almost soaking wet, and then throw in
three or four cactus seeds. Close the
bottle snugly with tight-fitting cork

calf was dead from the effects of the
sun, but the boy was slumbering peace
fully by its side, says the Jacksonville
(Fla.) Times-Union.
While negro can stand any amount
of heat on his head, he loves to cool his
heels. 1t is a common sight in the win
ter to see negro boy on "a frosty morn
ing with his head bundled up to keep
out the cold, and at the same time walk
ing unconcernedly along the frosty
ground in his bare feet. One of the hot
test places in the city on hot day is at
the lumber wharves of the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsula railroad. When the
men knock off for noon they frequently
take nap with their faces upturned to
the rays of the blazing sun; at the same
time they get their feet under the shad-
ow of some friendly lumber pile.

and seal it well with sealing wax. Tie
strong cord around the neck of the
bottle and hang it in window that the
sun reaches for at least several hours
every day. In cold weather the bottle
must not be exposed. The living room
with constant temperature of 10 de-
grees or more, suits the experiment ad-
mirably. Then the entire process of
growth can be watched with no small
interest. The opening and roofing of
the seeds and the gradual development
of the plants will follow, almost as ii
by magic.

THE NEGRO IN HOT WEATHER.
He Likes the Heat on His Head, But
He Tries to Keep His Heels
Cool.

1t has often been said that the capac-
ity of the negro race for enduring heat
has never been fully tested. An acci-
dent related by dairyman living on
the outskirts of the city seems to bear
out this assertion. He has a young
negro boy who looks after the cattle
and does chores around the place. The
only effect that the heat produces in his
case is a desire to slumber. The dairy
man had a young calf in the barnyard,
and as the sun was pouring in on the
poor animal his wife sent "Carlina" out
to turn the calf loose, so that he could
seek a shady spot. After waiting an
hour for his return the housewife went
to the barnyard to investigate. There
she found both boy and calf curled uF

it was hung they were rejoiced at the
bulk. They fully intended to share
and share alike, but before they had
secured even a bite they fell into a
dispute as TO whether it was beef or
mutton. After long wrangle, and
finding that they could not agree, it
was agreed to leave the matter to the
Wolf. They set forth and hunted INN
up and stated the case, and he assumed
an air of wisdom as he said:
MY friends, you have done the right
thing in coming to me. Call around

particular nature of the SPOIL
When the morrow came and the dis
putants again visited the Wolf, they
found him picking his teeth with great
complacency. Holding up about four
feet of rope he cut it in half and pre-
sented piece to each Jackal and said:

town to take charge for week he
would go on vacation. He therefore
started out in search, and put the ques-
ton to lawyers, doctors and men of all
professions. To his amazement each
and every one replied:
an take charge for you, of course,
and I'll show you that you never knew
how to run a paper" When through
with the professions the editor went
among the mechanics and laboring
men, but still the answer was the same.
At the end of four days he had found
but one single individual who doubted
himself, and who said:

Once upon time a young Grass
hopper got the idea that he could out
jump anything on the earth, and he
went about with his ears cooked up
and his head swelled to twice its nor
NAL size. An old Hopper who had
kept an eye on him finally felt it his
duty to say:
Look here, Reuben, you can jump
seven feet without touching blade Of
grass, and that's a pretty smart thing
to do, but don't get struck on yourself.
