Steamer Line to Manila.

Probably the most important recog-
milton Manila has received up to the
present time, says the Manila Times,
is the establishing of a through direct
line of steamers from the west coast
of the United States to Manila. The
new line has been inaugurated by the
China Mutual Steam Navigation Co.,
Ltd. and will make regular direct trips
from Seattle puget Sound to Manila,
via Japan, leaving out Honolulu, and
in conjunction with the Northern Pa
cllc Railway lines, will be prepared to
contract for cargo from all points in
the States for conveyance of goods to
the Orient and Manila direct.
The new line will be of vast mpor-
lance to Manila merchants as it win
expedite wonderfully the receiving of
American shipments, and avoid the
tedious and expensive system of trans
ferring cargoes at Hongkong for this
port, which has caused a great loss in
wear and tear and loss to the Manila
merchants.
At present the new line Is not ex-
trips, the volume of exports to the
western coast of the United States not
being sufficient to warrant this.
1t is proposed to inaugurate semi
monthly schedule at present, and the
following steamers are already an

China and Manila, on the following
dates: Kintuck, July 10Th: ChIngwo,

REVOLVER THAT
ENDED HER LIFE

With the crack of a 3S-calibre Smith
& Wesson revolver went out the life Of
l5-year-old Effie Gertrude Owens on
Saturday afternoon.
The dead girl lived with her father,
J. w. Givens, on Anapuna street, at
Makiki. Until quite recently Mr.. Civ
ems had resided in Hilo.
The girl was alone in the house on
Saturday afternoon About p. m. a
friend of hers named Miss Felker, who
was at the time in a cottage at the rear
of the GiVens house, was startled to
hear a revolver shot Thinking that
something might be wrong she went
over to the house and found the de-
ceased in one of the rooms lying on her
back with bullet hole in her right
temple, apparently dead.
The police were Immediately notified
and in answer to a summons DR.. Bur-
CESS FASTENED to the scene of the trag-
edy. He found that life was extinct.
Deputy Sheriff Chilingworth was
quickly at the house and came to the
conclusion that the fatal bullet had
been sped by the girls own hand. He
then summoned coroner's jury, which
inspected the body and it's surround
ings.
The body was found in front of a
looking glass in the bedroom of her
father. The girls left hand was much
powder burned and the supposition Is
that the deceased stood in front of the
looking-glass, held the barrel of the re-
Volver to her temple with her left hand
and pulled the trigger with her right.
The bullet entered the temple and
lodged in the skull, from whence it
was afterwards extracted.
The only other occupant of the house
besides the girls father is Miss Civ
ell $ stepmother.
No cause can be assigned for the
tGsh act, but the dead girl is known
to have suffered acutely of late from
some head trouble.
The revolver with which the deed
was committed was found by Mr.
Givens at Olaa on July Sd. He pur-
chased a box of cartridges and left
them in his residence at Makiki. Only
the exploded shell was found in the
chamber of the revolver.
An inquest will be held this after
noon The jury consists OF Thomas
Krouse, a. y. Scrlmgeour r. Mossman
G. A. Bowers, George Andrews and l.
Lcylngston.

A TRUE FELLOWSHIP.

The action of the Porcupine miners, who arc spending the winter in Juneau and Douglas, in coming so nobly to the assistance of their comrade Le Roy w. Miner, when the iron hand of fate had ended his young life, has brought them up in the estimation of the general public to the exalted position which they so richly merit.
 These men, tainted as they are with the roughness of a prospector's life, have hearts that are touched by that spirit of fellowship which were it world wide would make this earth of ours a paradise indeed.
 May the good Lord bless them.

A BATH IN wHITE HORSE RAPIDs

A
 Of the many thousands who have navigated the great Yukon river, but few if any, can relate any incident of the trip which stamps its impression upon the memory with more interest than that of passing through White Horse rapids. If this experience will not send lasting thrill through the system, it is dead in the shell.
 My third trip from Juneau to Boring Sea, via the Yukon, began in earnest when on Sept. 2nd, '98, launched my 27-foot canvas boat, and with it's cargo of 500 pounds, pulled out from the head of Lake Linderman, bound for St. Michaels.
 Arriving at the White Horse, land ed on the left hand side, one-half mile above the "jump-ofF," and took survey of the place with the intention of land ing just above the falls, at the same place I landed in '95.
 Taking my photographic equipment, rifle and sack of flour out of the boat, I pushed off shore and away went at a rate of 10 miles an hour. The boat was in lively action, and when near the falls lost control of it entirely by the oars jumping out of the rowlocks, 25 feet from shore and within 300 feet of those terrible falls. I lay the oars down, picked up the painter with 9 feet of slack line, and sprang overheard. A hard swim brought me to shore. 1 had just gained my feet when was yanked head over heels into deep water by the slack being taken up. Another hard pull for the shore, and almost exhaust ed gained my feet; and hitching the painter under a projecting rock the boat swung to the shore, and the fun was over. Everything safe, change of clothes, away I went, and safely, too, without an accident, to St. Michaels. The little canvas boat that had carried me 25OO miles was torn to shreds upon the jagged rocks by the same storm that created such frightful havoc upon the beach at Cape Nome.
