WEAVER Is FLUSH
WITH BRITISH GOLD
The Norna's Ex-Commodore
Living High at the Pal
ace Hotel.

Nicholas j. Weaver of Norma fame
has turned up in San Francisco with
money to burn. He has one of the
most expensive suites of apartments in
the Palace hotel and is living en- prince
again. He still retains the yacht Nor
ma, which he says is in Australia. 1t
appears that he went to England from
Australia and succeeded in raising
$3.50 600 there for acocoa and rubber tree
plantation he owns in Samoa. His story
is that he has the backing of wealthy
and aristocratic men and he declares
they will all be millionaires in less than
ten years. Stranger things than that
have happened! Not the funniest part
of this modern Monte Cristo's tale is
the stern fact that he has unlimited
money at the present time which he
is throwing around in right royal
fashion.
Naturally Honolulu wonders, remem-
bering Commodore Weaver of old, how
has he managed it?

BISHOP WILLIS.
A Story Told of Him in tn, Church
Chronicle.

A bishop is, as a rule, shining
mark for criticism. The climax, how
ever, would seem to have been reached
on recent visit OF the Bishop OF Ho-
nolulu to Maui. On that occasion the
bishop took with him, to beguile the
tedium OF the journey, a narrative OF
the French revolution. Among the
passengers on the steamer was a man
somewhat the worse for liquor who
came and sat down by the bishop and,
after gazing intently at the book, said
with some difficulty, Pm surprised
(hic) to see a man (hic) OF your ven
cradle appearance (hic) reading
French novel (hic)."
This was not bad, but perhaps,
almost as good, Is the story said to be
going the rounds In California to the
effect that the bishop is a great driver
OF fast horses. Those who know the
bishop and are familiar with the
steed he owns, will appre-
ciate the humor OF thIs.-Church

.STRAT[MEy{R LAID Off
Collector Stack bic Charges Him
Win INSTRUMENTATION and
Unbtcomlrg Conduct,

Deputy Collector of Customs George
Stratemeyer has been suspended from
duty, without pay, for fifteen days, by
Collector of Customs H.. X, Stackabie,
on charge of "insubJrdination and
Language unbecoming Il gentleman
This is the first time that anything
of the kind has occurred in the official
career of Mr.. Stratemeyer and his
friends are at loss to account for It,.
Stratemeyer himself is naturally upset
over the affair but 1t is said he is ready
to show the authorities at Washington
that he is not altogether to blame in
the matter.
Mr. Stratemeyer's version is as fol-
lows: on Monday morning last he went
to the Office of the collector on maj
ter of business pertaining to the de-
partment. The collector incidentally
asked Mr.. Stratemeyer to send man
to see why a certain clerk in the office
had not been at the office for the past
two days. 1t was supposed that the
man in question was drunk or shirkinR.
Stratemeyer said that he did not like
to do the work of a stool-pigeon. He
said that he would not spy on any OF
lDt men. MI. Silb Nlt'A ~
was the business of every man in the
department to report any wrong CON
duct on the part of any of the other
men. Stratemeyer then left the Office
saying that he would do nothing in the
matter. The collector called him back.
Stratemeyer then said in the hearing
of many of the clerks that he would
go back in the office providing the col
lector would confinc his conversation to
business and not tell scandalous stories
concerning employees Of the department
You ought to be ashamed of yourself"
We're Mr.. Stratemeyer's last words to
the collector as he left the building.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
the deputy collector received a letter
from the collector ordering him sus-
pended for fifteen DAYS without pay for
INSTRUMENTATION and language unbe-
coming a gentleman
Collector StaCkahle was seen by an
Advertiser reporter in regard to the
affair. According to the collectors
story he asked Mr.. Stratcmeyer if lie
had a man whom he could spare to 20
and see why certain clerk in the Of
flee had been absent from his duties
for a day or two. Stratemeyer raised
objections and said that If he knew
exactly what the collector wanted of
him he might be able to do it. Strate-
meyer then left the office, mumbllnE,
and Stackablc called him back to see
what the matter was. Then Strate-
meyer banged his fist on the counter
in the main office and, with an oath,
said that he refused TO obey the col
lector's orders and that he, the col
lector ought to be - - ashamed OF
himself.
Stratemever's friends claim that he
has been dealt unfairly with and that
the matter should bc INVESTIGATED.
Stratemeyer win send explanations to
Washington ard 1t is said that these
explanations will cover matter other
than the incident which led to his be-
ing suspended.
The collector insists that Stratemcyer
was guilty of characterization and un-
language and that that Is
all there is to 1t.
