BUSINESS MEMS
CLUB PLANNED
S .heme To Have one is Re-
vived and May Be a
Go Now.

A business mems club is being talk
ed of, and there is a strong possibility
that steps may soon be taken for its
formation. Such a club was proposed
Swhen the Stangenwald block was in
course of construction, but did not
materialize. 1t was proposed to occu-
Ply the seventh story of that building
and the architect drew up plans for
the additional story.
The club was to have the entire
freedom of the floor, where it would
be free from general Interruptions
such as would necessarily be in
large Office building. There was 20
be general gathering room, IL
brary. ante-rooms, smoking rooms,
card rooms and reception halls, fitted
up comfortably. 1t was not to be tor
rich men, but was designed merely : 5
a place where the business man coafd
find recreation after the days labors.
Certain business men believe that
such a club should be, although the
project was dropped. One of Honolu-
LUIS prominent merchants says he is
strongly in favor of it's being estab-
lished, and would canvass the bust
ness community to see how many will
support it.

What has been the fate of Captain
Gilmore, his wife and the officers of
the Chilean bark Latona, which sailed
last fall from Port Blakely, Chile, for
Eaton, Peru? Have they been killed
by their own crew or have they been
captured by pirates? One fate or the
other must have befallen them, for it
is pretty certain that the bark Leonora,
wrecked in the Philippines in January,
was the missing Latona.
Shipping men of San Francisco and
the Pacific coast say they feel sure that
the wreck on the Philippine shore is
the missing I4atona and that the crew
must have mutinled and killed the cap
tain, his wife and all the English Off
GERS and then started to find the path
ways to the south Pacific, where the
cargo could be sold at good prices. If
this is correct, then the reticence of the
survivors of the wreck is explained

That savagery and ignorance still
prevail to an alarming extent among
the Russian pcasantry is illustrated by
a recent bit Of realism from the pen of
Maxim Gorlly, Il new Russian literary
genius, whose work is said to possess
even more virility than that of Tolstoi.
All his work is infused with passionate
human interest OF the struggle for life
among the poor of Russia. The follow

nation, but Il vivid picture of an actual

Tether with the sorriest of jades, roams
and runs and struggles on crutches
when necessary a vast multitude, yelp-
ing and bowling, screaming and whis-

The thirst for blood, am ashamed to
say, seems to animate particularly boys
and young girls. To them the tragedy
enacted is as good as a circus. Every
now and then some lad or girl runs up
to the bleeding woman to shrek words
of contempt and hatred, threats and re
proaches, into her scared face.
Plenty of women in the procession.
They couldn't run faster, couldn't stick
closer, if a new hat or frock was to be
seen. Their faces are red with excite
ment, while their eyes CLEAN with
pleasure and malice.

Cherson, Russia, on July 10, 1901. It's
a twentieth century tragedy, more's
the pity, repeat.
In the village street, past the dust
covered huts, a procession. Slowly it
moves along, this peculiar procession,
attended by bowls and frantic yells and
catcalls.
After it, like great wave, the people
stream and surge over the highway.
At the head walks little horse, and
a comically worn out jade he is. His
head is bent as if in sorrow. When
he raises one of his fore legs, his chin
sinks down still lower, as if the mouth
was to lick the dust When he raises
another leg, his hind quarters tremble
and come down. The sorry brute
looks as if he would fall over and ex-
pire any moment.
At his side and like him chained to
the thill pole ambles a woman with
uncertain step. A woman? No, a
girl rather. She is small, sparsely de-
veloped and entirely naked
Her head, wreathed by masses of
thick, dark blond disheveled hair, is
held high and thrown back, her wide
open eyes stare into space with a look
that has nothing human in it.
Her body is mass of blue and black
and red and yellow stains and blotches,
of round and oval weltS, knots and
Jumps, the left breast is cut in several
places, and blood trickles from the
wounds, marking her path.
The blood has made a reddish stain
running from the heart across the body
and down the left leg to the knee; blood
has also accumulated on the top of the
foot, but there merciful dust hides hui
manity's disgrace.
1t looks as If some vandal, some bull
ly rough had risen from a medieval
torture chamber, had begun to fay
this poor little body, but had sickened
at the task after tearing off one strip
OF quivering skin. Still, mercy was
only spasmodic dweller in his black
soul. Dropping the knife, he seized a
knout to work off his fury on Gods
own likeness.
The girl couldn't have been an Or
binary peasant woman born and bred
in poverty and degradation, for her feet
were small and slender. They didn't
seem to touch the ground. There was
indeed no visible support to her sway
ing, bleeding body. Gods will alone
held it up-I think saved it from fall
ing and dragging along the dusty, sun
burnt ground a prey to stones and
wheels.
The driver was a tail, stalwart peas
ant in white blouse and black sheep
skin cap, allowing portions of his red
straight hair to escape.
His left hands held the reins, in his
right he swung a terrible scourge.
Hide thy face. humanity! Beloved
Christ, didst thou die for beast such
as this?

launches or head, it is all the same to
him. He acts methodically, machine
like. A buzZsaw, | warrant you, har-
bors finer sensibilities in its heart Of
hearts if we could only read in it.
The eyes of the redhaired peasant are
bloodshot; they sparkle with mischief
cruelty, triumph. The eyes are green
and their color is intensified by the red
of his hair.
His blouse sleeves are rolled up, leav-
ing his strong muscular arms free, the
arms of gorilla, thickly covered with
short red hair.
The peasants mouth is wide open.

on the lines, cast off the stake rope and
then stepped boldly on to the shark S
back.
The first move of the startled shark
was to try to dive, but sharp pull on
the impromptu bit opened his mouth so
wide that he had to get his head above
water to breathe. 1t is a well recogniz-
ed fact that fish will drown if his
mouth can be kept open for few min
utes under water, and Eastwood had
taken advantage Of this.
The shark seemed badly frightened
for a short time and made it pretty diff
librium, but his bare feet chung tightly
to the back of the big fish, and after a
number Of unsuccessful efforts to dive
or shake him off the shark became
quite tractable, and he could turn him
about and steer him in any direction
he wished. When he was fully satisfied
that the finny steed was under control,
he rode alongside the yacht and called
the boys on deck, and if ever there was
a surprised lot he had them. Their
shouts and EXPLANATIONS brought the
entire Punlo settlement to the beach to
see what was up, and they would not
at first believe their eyes, but finally
concluded there was a new kahuna in
town and that he was dandy. Many
Of them padded out in their canoes to
get a good look 3t the kahuna and rp-
turned to the beach to report and in
crease the wonderment of their neigh

Rode on the Back
Of q Big Shark

Herr Eastwood of San Francisco was
recently the guest of Commander Hob
son of Honolulu in a shark hunt in
Pearl harbor. Sharks are plenty in the
waters of the Hawaiian Islands, and
shortly after setting their line they
hooked big one. They brought him
alongside and made him fast and turn
ed in for the night.
The boys were pretty tired and sleepy
and not inclined to turn out early the
next morning, but with the first peep
of dawn in the blushing east Herr
Eastman slipped on deck and, securing
pair of marlin spikes from the mates
bag, securely wired them together, fas-
tened heaving line to the eyes in each
end and was ready for his experiment.
