Captain Richard Dixey of the ship
Robert II. Dixey of Boston had an unen-
viable experience with mutinous crew
in the winter of 1854, which is now told
in detail for the first time. Having taken
4 cargo from Mobile, Ala, to Havre,
France, his ship was chartered by the
French government to take stores and
provisions to the French army. then at
Crimea. A new crew was shipped, con-

white and the others negroes. Besides
the captain and three officers, there were
four boys, making a total of "a persons
on board to man the ship. There was
also a clergyman who went as passen-

The boatswain was a negro. This fact
alone was sufficient to cause dissatisfac-

ship left Havre there were mutterings of

Horace Broughton had charge of the
deck. The first and second officers were
below sleeping.
Several times during the evening noises
were heard coming from below which
seemed to indicate trouble, but it was
thought best for the time to ignore them.
The noise continued to increase, how
ever, and at little befsre 0 o'clock Mr..

look into the port forecastle, where the
white men were quartered. He saw
enough to convince him that summary

APPOINTMENT ENDORSED
CHICAGO TIMES HERALD UPON
GOVERNOR DOLE.
Sketches the Political Career of Presi-
dent McKinleys Appointee to the
Gubernatorial Seat-Is Satisfied.

The Chicago Times Herald, a paper
that stands close to the administration,
and is frequently it's mouthpieCe, pub
lished the following editorially in a re-
cent issue:
THE President has acted very wisely
in selecting Judge Dole to be the first
American Governor of Hawaii. There
will be no doubt, we think, in the minds
of people who are familiar with Ha-
waiian affairs that the choice is the
best one that could have been made.
Probably there is no man on the
Islands who enjoys public confidence to
the same degree that Judge Dole does,
and this indeed might be inferred from
the manner in which he came to the
head of the provisional government. The
feeling was that he was pre-eminently
the person for the place, and it was in
obedience to an almost universal de-
mand that he left the bench to
assume the then exceedingly grave re-
sponsibilitis of the executive.
Throughout those troublesome times
no Hawaiian ever thought of accusing
him of self-seeking. Criticism was con-
fined to the anti-eXpansion press of this
country, while it was generally under
stood in the new republic that it's presi-
dent was animated by no desire for
office, but that he was making sacri-
flee of his personal inclinations in order
to fulfill a public duty.
mot until annexation was assured
and the long battle in which he had
taken such a creditable part was over
was there any suggestion of an anti
Dole faction, and this was the invention
of and was manipulated by certain poll
ticians from the States. 1t represented
nothing but selfshness and personal
ambition, and it is decidedly fortunate
that it's schemes have come to naught
Spite of all that it could do Dole has
retained the undiminiShed trust and re-
spect of all the better classes, native
and foreign, and his fitness for his new
office is apparent on other accounts
One great point in his favor is that he
belongs in the truest sense to the Is
lands. He has spent his life upon Them
grown up amid their associations.
learned to know them as only an Is
lander can. He understands the preju-
dces, the predictions the customs Of
brown Hawaiians and white, the native
traditions, the old laws and the new.
No man of ten or a dozen years resi-
dence in Honolulu could have his SYM
pathetic insight into the people. A fresh
arrival from this country would be an
ignorant tyro by comparison.
THE cares responsibilities and Sc
we're discipline of the last few years
have added to an equipment already
large, and completed the training which
now gives the state a strong, eXper-
fenced, we'll balanced public servant.
If the precedent established by Presi-
dent Mckinley is followed, Hawaii will
never have cause to regret anneXa-
ton"

THE OBERANNERGAU PLAY
CELEBRATED PASSION PLAY ON
MAY 20.
Some Changes in Personnel of the Ac-
tors-Josef Mayr Cannot Play Part Of
Christus.

With the exception of a few minor
changes of personnel, the Passion Play
at Oberammergau remains this year
practically the same spectacle that has
been seen at intervals of a decade since
it's establishment in 1888. The play of
1900 is discussed by a writer in the
Westminster Gazette Nondon). He
says
Some seven hundred persons of all
ages will appear in the representation
this year. The part of Christus, worth
lily upheld by Josef Mayr in 1880 and
1890, will pass into other hands. Mayr
had hoped to sustain his former role,
but an accident in the woods in 1896
left after-effects which have made it
quite out of the question for him to
take the part of Christus again. He
will this year recite the prologue a part
for which his splendid Evolutionary
powers make him peculiarly fitted"
The Christus this year. says the
writer, will be Anton Lang, a young
man whose blameless life, gentle, rev.
erent face, and quiet dignity of manner
render him, it is said, an ideal Christus.
He was chosen by reclamation, and has
the great advantage of being reverently
and carefully trained by Mayr in every
detail of the great part he is going to
play. The other great part, that OF the
Madonna, will also be represented by
new player, Anna Flunger, described
as a young woman of much beauty and
holiness of life. Says the writer
"She is the daughter of the village
postman. AS at present arranged,
Bertha Wolff will play the part of st.
Mary Magdalen, Andreas Braun that of
st. Joseph of Arimathaea, and Peter
Rundl that of st. Peter. The old wood
en- theater has been demolished and one
of iron erected in its place The new
building will be rooted over, not open

SHIPPERS MAKE LITTLE MONEY
Peach Crop This Year Melted Poor
Returns.

While Americus shippers made very
little money on fruit this season they
were not the only ones. The season at
Marshallville has just ended with the
shipment. of the 400th. carload of
peaches. Results have been disap-
pointing. With few exceptions, the
shippers have on hand one-fourth of
their crates over for use another fruit
year, which may be next year or three
years. On account of excessive rain
and worms, the loss of peaches has
been considerable. Fruit carried very
badly or would not hold up for re-
shipping in New York. It cost about
80 cents a crate to gather and market
case of fruit in New York, and when
it is considered that more than one
half of this years crop sold for 81 per
case average, it is readily seen that no
large amount of net money has been
made this year.
