An amusing anecdote, more or less
improbable, is told in the Louisville
Times concerning negro improvidence
and simplicity. An old nanny, who
had known Governor Taylor of Ten

his office and began at once to plead
for the pardon of her husband, who
was then in prison. Laws Dress yo'

Hope Still
= = Lives

Whatever the world may think of
the probability of the explorer An
dree's return, his mother and sister
are firm in their belief that the son
and brother. whose heroism has
brought honor to the family name. will
yet return to his old home. Although
it is four years since he started north
and although the Swedish courts have
declared that the Swedish explorer
may be legally supposed to be dead,
these two women will not give up
hope At their home in Grenna
Sweden, they keep themselves ready
to receive him any day or night and
dust and clear every morning the
rooms in which he made the plans for
his expeditions. Say what you may,
produce the most convincing proof
that Andree must be dead, bring
forth the strongest arguments in ia
vor of your contention, the mother and
sister will listen quietly and when you
have finished they will simply say:
He is alive and will return"
1t is not merely hope. not merely
strong desire, that makes these women
SO absolutely certain of the return of
their son and brother. 1t is their be-
lief that Andree went forth to seek
fllment of a mission given to him by
| God. And the Lord has never yet
forsaken one of his servants" is the
| way they explain it.
The mother, Fru Minna Andree, is
nearly 20, though her clear, rudy
| face, her erect carriage and the con-
| tinuous smile that plays around her
face makes her appear much younger.
Her rather robust daughter, Fru En-
cline Spanberg. is a lively good-na-
| tured woman. and mother and daugh-
ter impress the visitor as a pair of the
most intimate friends. The cottage
| they live in is a roomy, one-storied
building, furnished simply. Most of
an etching or two relieves the SOM
breness of the walls.
They are devout women and Fru
| Andree invokes grace before each
meal. "And, oh, Lord, keep thy SER
want, my son, and return him safely"
she has ended her prayer every day
| for these four years Amen. Ameni"
responds Fru Spanberg-
1t is impossible to describe the glow
| Of pride and satisfaction which spreads
over the kindly face of the mother
when she exhibits the first shoe her
| son wore, when she points out the
nrst prayer book he used, when she
holds up to your inspection the white
| tie he wore at his 1onhrmation- And

hotels NEW MANAGER.
Il. W. Lake Arrives and at Once
Takes Hold of the House.

Manager H. W. Lake, of the Hawai-
ian Hotel, arrived in the city yester-
day morning and at once took charge
of the work Of the house at the re-
quest of former manager Allen. Last
evening new chef was in the kitchen,
a new steward In the pantry and new
head-waiter about the well filled dining
room. The work of accustoming them
selves to their new surroundings was
on and the only traces of the former
management are the clerks, who Will
remain, and the memory of the former
manager whose departure is regretted
by many friends.
Mr.. Lake is we'll known to many per-
sons here as the former manager of the
Baldwin hotel OF San Francisco, and
more recently of the Pleasanton hotel
of the same city. He has had a score OF
years experience in his chosen calling
and has been in many fine houses dur
ing that time. He comes here with OPP
portunities to make the house what he
will. and his record gives reason for
the expectations of his friends

the public auctioneer of the Commits
sioner of Public Lands, and by clerks
of the office, saying that the charts
were equally open to all, and that such
officers had no advantage over the
public. The department, however,
thought it advisable to discountenance
any practice that might even be inter-
preted as an appearance of favoritism
and consequently directed that the
practice should be discontinued.
On complaint of Tully McRea, of
Rochester Theological Seminary, about
methods of conducting the social evil
in Hawaii, the Interior Department
some weeks ago ordered a report from
the Governor of the Territory. That
report was forwarded here by Acting
Governor Cooper, quoting the law pass
ed over forty years ago, authorizing
the stockade and other regulations.
Mr.. McRea was one of those stirred
up by such propaganda as Judge Hum
phreys has been distributing here,
hoping to make capital in favor of his
own case therefrom. The department
has forwarded to Mr.. McRea a copy
of Acting Governor CoOper's report.
AS that seems to be a satisfactory an
swer to the complaint, no further ac-
ton is in contemplation by the de-
partment ERNEST G.. WALKER.
