No loving deed nor word of kindness

While ever near me, wheresoe'er 60.
Are sad hearts waiting to be comforted.
May God forbid that e'er my life should
close
To Judge him who in weakness goes
astray;
Nay, let me rather with a tender hand
Help him to seek and find the bet

So may 1 strive to make my own life

HOW a JaDanese Hero Died.

A lieutenant of engineers at T.en-tsin
with three sappers. crept up in the dark
and placed a charge of guncotton at
the huge gate. There was to be an
electric wire to fire the gun cotton, but
1t failed somehow; and, as daylight was
dawning already, the four japanese felt
that their maneuver was in danger of
failing, so one of them fired the charge
with q match, blowing himself to death
and glory and giving entry to the allied
army.

Certainly. AS 1 have said before,

''Well.' said Mr.. Merrick, dejectedly,
'1'll see what can be done about it,"
A few minutes after Mrs. Hannibal
Wade had left the room Mrs. Raynor
came in. The widows handsome blonde
face was flushed, her eyes were swol-
len and the bit of handkerchief she
carried in her hand was limp and damp
as if with tears.

come to complain to you about the way

proprietor, sympathetically. That is,

wouldn't be afraid to wager you could

The pretty hand that held the tear
bedewed handkerchief trembled vio-
lently.
"Oh. Mr.. Merrick." she said, and
there was a pitiful little quaver in her
soft voice that made honest Mr. Mer-
rick sink back in his chair in a tre-
NOR of sympathy.
You don't know what we poor wild
ows have to bear. We are always un-

Mrs. Hannibal Wade came down an
hour later to consult Mr.. Merricb
again.
The widow was sitting close beside
him, and Mrs. Wade looked at her
scornfully. The mutiny had reached
climax and there was no longer any
necessity for preserving even SEM

THE Morning 5 PARADE

The civic part of the parade this
morning was a dismal failure. Mer-
chants and others who intended taking
part say they did not have sufficient
notice. There were only four floats in
line. These were fairly good, but looked
immensely lonely. There were no fire
engines, no decorated hacks, and no be-
ribboned bicycles. A mob of boys on
rusty old machines brought up the rear
of the procession.
The military end of the line was the
saving part of the feature. The First
Regiment was out in force and looked
well. Captain Fox, a mounted patrol
man. Sam Macy, Frank Ferriera and
foot police, cleared the streets for the
parade w. II, HOogs, grand marshal,
rode attended by his aides Capt j w.
Pratt Capt. w. c. Wilder and G. II. w.
Norton. Colonel Jones and Lieutenant
Colonel Mccarthy both being under the
weather, Major c. w. Zeigler was in
command of the regiment. Lieutenant
c. M. V. Foster acted as regimental
adjutant in place of Captain Schaefer.
Capt. Il. E. Wall and Capt. c. p. Cooper
were the only other regimental staff Of
ficers out Captain Cottrel was acting
major of the first battalion in place
Of Zeigler, and Lieutenant E. r. Win
ant was in Cottrel's place in command
of Company b. Major Camara COM
waiian band led the march Of the
regiment.
Closely behind the troops came float
representing scrubbing day at the Ha-
waiian TramWay's carhouse. This was
gotten up by number of town boys,
and was quite funny, A feature was a
hose which squirted water against the
sides of the dirty, dismal chariot.
Next came a very pretty idea, repre-
sentlng Uncle Sam and Miss Hawaii i'm
their new relations. They were seated
and an immense lei was wrapped about
their necks, typifying the union recent
ly consummated. This float was elab-
orately decorated in national colors,
The next two We're business floats, both
plain, though very prettily wrapped
in bunting.
There the procession ended abruptly.
The balance of it consisted of boys on
bicycles, and horses.
A very big crowd was on the streets
all along the line of march. Most OF
the people We're disappointed, though
they took 1t good naturedly on account

Fifteen YACHTS ARE lIL.

Fifteen pretty yachts started this
morning from the boat club house, in
four races for the trophies put up by
the Fourth of July committee. They
were soon spread out over the water all
the way from Rabbit Island to Kalihi
channel, while scores of glasses We're
turned on them by interested watchers
at the boat houses, the pilot house and
othef points of vantage along the front
AT the first class yachts time of start
ing II lOked like rather a poor day for
the vessels, as there was but little
wind, but there was enough to start
them fairly, and by the time they had
got a little distance out the usual breeze
sprung, up and soon all the yachtsmen
were enjoying quite a good wind
Ihe starts were made very promptly,
Charlie Graham looking after the ar
rangements. The first class yachts went
first, the Bonnie Dundee Eva formerly
Gladys) and La Paloma following one
another over the line close together to
cover the following route
From a line drawn at the mouth of
the channel, from the lighthouse to the
Healani Boat Club house, thence
around the southeastern point of the
Island of Oahu, turning Rabbit Island
which is about two miles beyond Maka-
pun Head, leaving Rabbit Island on
the port side, and returning to the
point of starting.
In the second class the Hawaii got
away first, with the Arion, her only
competitor close after her There were
four starters in the third class. the
Myrtle crossing the line first. Mott
Smith second, Leowa third, and Malolo
fourth. These were soon far away. as
they had a pretty good wind from the
first. This race, with some of the new
contestants was watched with great in
terest In the fourth class contest new
vessels were also placed. The racers
went across the line in the following
order: Rose, Abbie NJ, Clytie, Alice NJ,
Pokii
The second, third, and fourth class
yachts course was as follows:

A splendid house greeted the Neill
Company last night to witness the pre-
sentation of Augustus Thomas drama,
Alabama" The play is one of deep
sentiment that pictures in a quiet but
deft manner the sentiments that were
left in the south as legacy of the war.
James Neill as Colonel Moberly," the
ex-Confederate officer, now proprietor
lawyer of the county, Colonel of the
Talladego Light Artillery, and nominat-
ed for congress, had the character
which is the most attractive in the
whole cast, unless it be that of Mrs.
Page" Edythe Chapman. Certainly
Mr.. Neill made a living Colonel Mo-
berly," as Edythe Chapman made a
lOVable, admirable MRS. Page"

with regard To the failure OF the fire en-
gines To participate: I'VE were Of
hcially notified only yesterday that
there would be a parade. and that the
department would be expected TO take
part The committee and everybody
else knows that the fire department has
had an immense strain on Il in the past
few months. and that we should have
been given considerable time to brush
up our engines and get in shape Again
the committee is trying to run this
thing on the little money left over from
last year and allowed the firemen moth
ing to decorate with. Under the circum-
stances ] do not see how the public
could have expected us to participate in

Hackmen seen stated that the time
allowed was insufficient They said
that 1t would take several days to get
up schemes and put their rigs i'm proper

THE STEAMER SIERRA
COMING IN COMMAND OF CAPT.
HAYWARD.
Other Officers to be on Her-The John
S. Kimball May be for Honolulu
Trade.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-The
handsome new steamer Sierra, launch
ed from the Cramps shipyard on the
1lth inst, is expected to arrive here
about the first week in September. She
viii take the place of the Mariposa on
the run to Australia during that month
and in consequence three Of the Off
GERS from that vessel are on detached
servicec and will take command in
their various departments when the
Sierra is turned over to the Oceanic
Steamship Company.
Captain II. NJ. Hayward who will
command the Sierra, has almost been
brought up in the Spreckels employ.
He is an able commander and has a
host Of friends on the Australian run.
Chief Engineer $. N. Haines will look
after the engineers department on the
new mail boat He was one of the first
chiefs of the Mariposa and has been on
that vessel almost continuously until he
went East to superintend the fitting out
of the Sierra.

for many years on the Australia and
from that vessel went to the Mariposa
He is one of the most popular men in
the Oceanic Companys service and his
promotion to the Sierra is viewed with
much satisfaction by his many friends.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-The
work of building the deck staterooms
on the new steamer John S. Kimball
was in full progress yesterday, special
efforts being made to get the vessel
ready for her trip to Alaska points by
August 1st. Unless the steamer can be
put in shape for service early in Aug
ust, at any rate, the idea of sending
her to Alaska this season may be aban-
doned, on account of the short summer
in the north. The route upon which the
Kimball will be placed afterward has
not been decided upon, but there is a
rumor to the effect that she will engage
in the trade between here and Homo
lulu, a business for which she will be
well suited on account of the luxurious
passenger accommodations that will
be given to her The rumor has ap-
parent foundation in the fact that
Joseph Marsden, the wealthy Hawaiian
sugar planter, is president of the Kim
ball Steamship Company, having sue
ceeded j. S. Kimball in the company;
and the futher fact that Colonel Mac
farlane, also Honolulu capitalist, is
a heavy stockholder in the company
A. B. and Rudolph Spreckels are said
to have also become interested in the
Kimball line.

Francisco Man Who Does Not Want
It-Will BE Rectified.

WASHINGTON, June 22.--It has been
discovered that through an error COM
mitted in the state department there is
now no postmaster at Honolulu. Sew
eral weeks ago the President named
John NJ. Oat, and the nomination was
confirmed by the Senate. 1t is now
learned that the man appointed is the
brother of the one whom it was intend
ed should fill the position. Joseph M.
Oat was formerly postmaster general
of Hawaii, and the intention was to give
him the office at Honolulu, but through
an error the name of his brother John
was sent to the senate. John M. Oat
lives in San Francisco, and has no de-
sire to go to Honolulu. The commits
sion will be Cancelled and Joseph NJ
Oat will be appointed.
