rainy city. will be humming and whist
ling the air Of the popular seNtette In
January
Captain Berger is anxious to let it be
distinctly understood that the band is
asking no favors. that the trip is paid
for by the Legislature including all eN-
penses. OF course this does not mean
that the gallant captain or his musi-
clans viii refuse the gift of an lima

band will acknowledge these COurtesies

Captain Berger wishes to state that
the Hioites are not contributing di-
rectly towards the expenses of the
present visit.
The various islands are by reason of
their taxes entitled TO certain visits
from the territorial musicians, and the
New Year trip to Hawaii win be set
down against their share of the music.

Welded TO BAD LUCK
HANKER HAD BEEN WRECKED
MANY TIMI.&.
In a Fit of Anger at Ills Uncle, He
Voluntarily Started on Career of
Misfortune.

In the death of George Hanker at the
HilO Hospital at HilO December I, there
passed from this earth, man whose
whole life appeared to have been
fraught with misfortune He was Of
German extraction and had been a sea-
man since 1916. He died at the age of
Y years.
Tanker was in his early life very
prosperous. He stood high i'm the es-
TEEN of the Hamburg american steam
ship company. He asked to be made
master of the new vessels but when he
solicited the influence of his uncle the
latter refused. In a tit of passion
young Hanker tore the ChevrOns from
his uniform and dashed them at the
feet of his. uncle and declared he would
ship before the mast Young Hanker
left his Wife son and daughter and
shipped as IA common seaman in the
brigantine Alabama.
In 1867 the vessel was wrecked in Aus
tralian waters, all hands on board, but
Hanker, being drowned. He was res
cued after two days and a half in the
water by schooner and put ashore
After regaining his health he tried to
walk overland to Melbourne but lost his
way and lived for four months with the
bushmen. He shipped to cuba and in
1869 was in China waters. He was in
three vessels, all of which were lost.
He went to San Francisco in 1869 and
bought a schooner and started in the
oyster trade but the schooner was lost
and with it, all Of Hanker's savings.
He shipped to South American waters
but on his second vessel, the Meg
ualeto," was wrecked off the Peruvian
coast. The next vessel, the Katherine"
a collier foundered off the Chilean coast
He tried mining for a while but got
fever and returned to Hamburg, only to
learn that his wife had died five weeks
before his arrival and his son had ship
ped to sea. After arranging for the
care of his daughter, Hanker went to
America, shipped in the Katherine,
which was wrecked near the African
coast. He reshipped in other vessels
and finally got to this part of the
world. He was wrecked on Midway ISL
and with the Walkers in 1881 in the
Wandering Minstrel" Since the rescue
of that party he had lived about Hilo
supporting himself by add jobs Of agri-
cultural character. He was injured by
being struck by a falling tree some time
before his death. and finally had to be
sent to the hospital
He was a man of sterling honesty and
pride and always cringed at the pros
pect of accepting charity. He support
ed himself even when ill i'm hospitals
at various places, by painting He was
an artist and could paint some really
fine pictures.

Buffalo, N. T., May 2.-The gates of
the Pan-American exposition were
thrown open Wednesday morning,

to view and study the products of
American ingenuity and scientific re-

which fill the magnificent buildings,
beautiful in their architectural de-

and interior decoration.
The ceremonies planned for the

Fire at Gridley Destroys Thirty

Three Bui1dlnEs-LOSs $S5,OGO.
Peoria, ILL.,, May Airs. P. Cohen
at 1870 Friday afternoon startedsa fire
in the rear of her husbands store in
the little town of Gridley, 80 miles east
of here, and after guarding the blaze,
which was famed by strong south
east wind, she was called into the store.
A few minutes later the cry of fire was
raised, and when the Peoria fire de-
partment left there att midnight on
their return home two entire blocks
were in ruins. The fire started in
Settles butcher shop and spread with
lightning rapidity. The local fire de-
partment was utterly unable to cope
with the flames, and when the destruc-
ton of the entire city was threatened
help was requested and sent from here.
Lack of water greatly hampered the
work of the Peoria fremen. Thirty
three buildings, all told, were de-
stroyed. The individual losses range
from $500 to $4,000. When the fire was
under control there was practically
nothing left of the business portion of
the town. The principal losers are
Robert Smith, saloon and restaurant.
$4,000; Gridley state bank, 5000; Nc
Near & Son, hardware and implements,
$4,000; Christ Oberbach, shoes, So 500:
George A. Franks, drugs, $4,000; How

Chicago, March 4.-Armour & Co.'S
beef house, one Of the largest build
ings at the stockyards, was partly de-
stroyed by fire early Friday, entailing
a loss of 100000. In addition to the
damage to the building, which was
practically new, great quantities of
dressed carcasses were consumed by
the flames, and it was only through
heroic work of scores of employees
that 1900 head of live cattle, herded on
the fourth floor of the building await
ing slaughter, were driven out into the
runways and saved from cremation.
Asitwas, there was stampede among
the animals, during which some of the

Swept Over the Rapids

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, May "a
small boat containing two persons,
presumably boys or young men, was
swept over the rapids of the St. Mary's
river Thursday afternoon. Neither
boat nor passengers have been seen
since. One of the passengers was row.
ing hard against the current, but the
boat was carried under the bridge and
caught by rush of water below it.
It overturned when a few hundred feet
below the bridge and the two attempt
ed to retain hold on it. They were
finally dragged from the overturned
boat and disappeared.
