FUND is STARTED FOR
CHRISTIAN REFUGEES

How deeply Honolulu sympathizes
with the Christian refugees from China
who are gathering in numbers from the
central provinces and Fastening to
places of safety in Japan is evidenced
by the fact that in a single day, with
but little notice given out that funds
for their assistance We're being secured
the sum of $500 was raised for them.
Miss Montague, who is the guest OF
Mrs. S. N. Castle, received a letter from
friend in Yokohama by the last
Oriental mail in which she spoke of the
numbers of missionaries who are flock
ing to Japan from China. Some OF
these men and women have arrived at
Yokohama and other ports in almost
destitute circumstances, having had TO
fly from their posts of duty in some
cases without being able to secure any
of their effects. The Americans and
Europeans in Japan have done all that
they could for these refugees but their
funds were not adequate to care for the
great numbers that came and tney
have sent appeals for help to Christian
people all over the world.
on Sunday the matter was mentioned
from the pulpits of several churches
and subscription lists were started in
charge of w. w. Hall, w. l.. Hopper
and T. G.. Thrum with the result that
the money came in very rapidly
throughout the day. Mr.. Hall said late
last evening that he had received some
thing over 5000 and that he knew of at
least 5000 more which had been taken
in and he believed that considerable
sum beyond this had been taken up
but was not able to give the sum.
The subscription lists will be kept open
until the arrival Of the next steamer to
China, which will be the Coptic on
Thursday and the money received will
be sent to Yokohama at once. 1t is
likely that If the fund swells as rapidly
today and tomorrow as it did at the
outset that Honolulu will contribute in
the neighborhood of $1,000 to this worthy
object.

LoBSTERS GOT HIM.
Chester Doyle Victim of His Broth
er's Negligent Conduct.

Chester Doyle, the erstwhile prac-
teal joker, has at last had the tables
turned on him. Doyle has q bath-tub
at his residence. He takes a morning
plunge in it. Long before Doyle opens
his eyes to the morning light servant
has the tub filled with clear sparkling
artesian water and all that Doyle has
to do is to step from his bedroom and
directly into the tub. Then Doyle
wakes up.
a few mornings since his brother
got up early and went to the fish mar
sters and FASTENED home with them.
Instead of putting them in the kitchen,
the brother believing that until ready
for the cook they should be kept in
water, threw them into the bathtub
already filled with water for the sleep
ing Chester. The brother then crept
back into bed. Chester finally awoke
from pleasant dreams, grabbed towel
and made for the bath-tub. He made
a skip, hop and a jump plunge and i'm
mersed himself completely. The next
instant he arose with shout and ran
through the house yelling at the top of
his voice.
One lobster had him by the big toe
of his foot and the other had a good
hold on his neck. He was finally re-
leased from his unpleasant COM
panions.

ed a church covenant to which Queen Ka-

Professor Curtis j. Lyons Denies
That He Looks for Eruptions.

Professor Curtis ]. Lyons OF the Ha-
waiian Weather Bureau denies that he
has made any predictions of volcanic
eruptions or earthquakes as result of
continued hot weather and lack of
rainfall. II was asked what would fol-
low the hot weather." said Professor
Lyons yesterday.
What l did say was that / thought
there would be a heavy rain after 1t.
II We did not have rain there may be
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes,
This would only arise from natural
conditions, such as arose last year
when the volcanic eruption was ex-
perienced on Hawaii. No, have made
no predictions whatever as I was
quoted"

Uncle Sam Protects
American Sailors

A complaint was entered before q
5. Shipping Commissioner w. p. Boy
recently by William Moffatt. a sailor
from the Star of Russia, in which h,
charges w. p. Mccarthy the sailor
boarding house keeper with refusing tc
surrender his clothing. The UniteI
States shipping laws are very explicit
on this point and the prompt return OF
the sailors clothes prevented Mccarthy
from becoming badly mixed up with
Uncle Sam.
II seems this is not the first violation
OF the shipping laws by Mccarthy and
the government officials propose &c
round him up with short shift In fu.
ture. Shipping Commissioner w. p
Boyd Is in receipt of the following from
Il. I. Chamberlain, Commissioner OF
Navigation, dated Washington. Ocs
~. Warning to Shipping Masters
boarding house keepers. and others
violation of act OF Dec. 81, 1895. The
United States Circuit Court. Southern
district of New York, on October 80
1900. sentenced to fine OF 800 ship
ping master for violation of section "A
of me act Of Dec. 81. 1898, In the cas-,
o. an American vessel. Failing to pay
the fine the man was imprisoned"
Section "a fully covers the case ul
Mccarthy under which section lie has
rendered himself liable to both fine aud
Imprisonment. The section goes on To
state that under no circumstances shall
boarding house keeper hold sailors
wearing outfit for debt. 1t then goes
on in substance as follows: That no
allotment except as provided for in
this section shall be lawfeul and any
persons who shall falsely claim to be
such relative as above describer (seo
scclion) of seaman, under this Sec
ton or shall make false statement OF
the nature or amount OF any debt
claimed to be due from any seaman un-
der this section shall for every such
cifense be punishable by fine not ex-
ceoding $500 or Imprisonment not ex-
oeeding six months at the discretion OF
the court.
The entire section which covers every
possible contingency and Is frame
with the view OF throwing safeguard
around those who follow the sea ami
protect them from the sailor boarding
house keeper. The section applies al
well to foreign vessels as to vessels Of
the United States, provided that any
