Members of the Supreme Court spent

facts were before the court and it was
decided that this afternoon evidence
should be taken and the matter again
be thrown open for argument on that
basis.

er were telephoned to be on hand at

on the stand to testify as to the resign

with other parties. He will be followed

.HALF 4 CENTURY At SEA
THE LONG RECORD OF CAPTAIN
KELLER.
Entitled to a Record With Captain
Holmes, the Skipper Longest in Ser
vice n, the World.

Captain Keller of the bark Palmyra,
which arrived here yesterday from
Newcastle, has a record for long SER
vice on the water that only few skip
pers in the world can match. He is
said to he next to Captain Holiness who
is the oldest captain in the world and
who, after over half a century's expert
ence as master of a sailing vessel has
started from San Francisco round the
Horn for New York.
Captain Keller has sailed around the
world till there is no port at which he
can call, in which he will not find
friends and he knows geography as few
men ever get to know it. The captain
says he is as strong as ever and ready
to take any trip on earth, and the way
he manages his vessel is proof that he
is not talking off the book. The hard
ships of life on the ocean put the aver
age man on the shelf in about twenty
years, but all the hardships have SEEM
ingly made no impression on the cap
tain of the Palmyra and he can do the
cabin end of the work as we'll as ever
Captain Keller was the master of a
schooner which brought Pope & Talbot
the well known lumber kings of Cali
fornia, round the Horn in early days
They established the first lumber busi-
ness in California. Pope and Talbot are
both dead but Captain Keller is still
ready for business. AT an age when
most men want to wear slippers anG
sit by the fire, he is in the mood tC
brave all the hardships and storms OF
ocean travel on sailing vessels and moi
as passenger but as the master, who
must be on deck during all trouble.

MINISTER YOUNG'S IDEA
WILL GIVE $4,000 FOR HOME FOR
INCURABLEs.
Wants Four other Persons to Do Same
for Permanent Endowment-Associ-
ated Charities Act.

Minister and Mrs. Alexander Young
have agreed to give $4,000 for the per-
nlanent endowment Of a home for in
curables provided that four other per-
sons will do the same and certain minor
conditions are complied with.
The offer was made this morning and
will be considered by the temporary
directorate.
Two of the four other contributions of
$4,000 each are now in sight. Mr..
Young's idea is to raise $1000 900 in this
way, and $4,000 to 100000 in smaller
subscriptions. The money will be in
vested, and will afford enough for a
permanent endowment for a splendid
institution.
The conditions Mr.. Young names are:
First. that the hospital be named after
Queen Victoria, as suggested by Mr..
Damon; second, that some plan be
adopteu TO reserve it strictly for the
people of the Hawaiian Islands, pre-
venting immigration to it from abroad;
InIrd, that it be placed in the hands of
a permanent board of trustees.
Ample temporary provision for the
maintainance of the Hospital for Con-
sumptivcs and Incurables has been
made. The Associated Charities at its
monthly meeting yesterday adopted a
resolution to support it until the per-
manent plan for it's organization and
support could be put in RUNNING order
This was considered to be directly in
the line of the purposes of the As
sociated Charities, as it was an emer-
gency to be met This means that the
Associated Charities will be responsible
for the support of the institution foI
the immediate present. Mrs. Willis will
continue to give the active manage
ment of the hospital her time and effort
and the work of forming a permanent
organization and securing a source oi
permanent income for the support o1
the hospital will continue.
Bishop Willis announces that S. M
Damon has contributed $1,000 to the in
stitution on condition that it be named
the Victoria Hospital. The question o.
name, however, is doubtless one tina
will be referred to the permanent or
ganization when it is completed.
The interest which has been dis
played in the institution in so many
quarters shows no signs of abating. II
addition to the contribution acknowl
edged. from "a Friend" in yesterday
| Star, another contribution has been re
ceived by The Star today from a well

as Another Friend"
Bishop Willis this morning received
most generous and thoughtful otte
from Emmeluth & Co. 1t was to do tn
plumbing at the Hospital for Incurable
/ for one year free of charge. This il
an important matter, and the offer i
| much appreciated by the d 'rectors
