ready run away from one vessel because
he was afraid of the cook and lie did net
realize what he was doing when he said
that he wanted to go on the Sewall. He
was informed that as he was always
getting into trouble in town, he would
probably have to go to the Reform
School for several years if he remained
in Honolulu. This decided him, and he
agreed TO ship.
The parent of the lad seemed anxious
to get rid of his son. He did every
thing in his power to get him to go on
the Arthur Sewall.
When the youngster gave his consent
he was released from the police station
and sent with officer to the water
front to join the vessel.
When the consent of the boy to ship
on the Sewall was practically forced from
his lips there happened to be three gem
tlemen present whose humanity was
aroused at the action of the authorities
They, in the absence of society for the
prevention of cruelty to children, took it
upon themselves as good citizens to see
that the boy was not shanghaied.
They called upon Shipping Commission
er Boyd and acquainted him with the
facts in the case. Captain Godfrey of the
Arthur Sewall happened to be In the
commissioners office and the story was
told to him also. 1t was shown that the
lad was unconscious of what he was do
ing; that he had run away from vessel
which was bound only for the Coast, and
that he had been practically forced to
consent to ship a vessel bound around
the Horn for New York.
Captain Godfrey, learning that the boy
was really unwilling to ship, said that
he would not consider taking him for a
moment. So Willie escaped.
The lad is a bright and very promis-
ing youngster. His mother is dead and
his father makes his life a burden by
continually trying to get rid of him.
Judge Wilcox is well acquainted with the
parent through many interviews in the
Police Court over the son. The Judge has
said that he will not be a party to the
getting rid of the boy.

Willie's Narrow Escape.

Little Willie Forrest, the lad for
whom the tug Eleu secured the seas and
for whom the United States tug Iroquois
got up steam, under the impression that
Willie was adrift on the great ocean in
a small boat without any poi or fish, and
who, instead of turning up missing, was
sound asleep in his fathers house, after
having run away from the w. H. Di-

Little Willie narrowly escaped going
around the Horn in the big American
ship Arthur Sewall. 1t was this way:
An unkind attempt was made to get
rid of little Willie. When the police dis
covered that he had returned to land
they took him into custody and held him
for safe-keeping over ght, that his
case might be investigated.
W:ries papa, who is not an indulgent
parent and who fails to recognize the
good points in his sons character, had
an interview with Captain Godfrey of the
ship Arthur Sewall and requested the
captain to take his boy on a voyage
around the Horn to New York. He said
that the boy was perfectly willing to
ship. The captain consented to take him
along, 1t was the opinion of some that
the lad would go as an apprentice, but
the captain said that he would have &c

Florida's Cattle Famine.

the island was completely depleted of
cattle by tho various armies during the

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE
In Which the Various State Matters
Are Reviewed.

Gov. McS#eeney's message to tie
Legislature was sensible paper. It
was quite lengthy, but every line Of
it bore the imprint Of the honest re-
Hcctioas Of the Governors ideas about
the affairs Of the State. The Spartan.
burg Herald, speaking Of the message,
says the Governor treats exhaustive.
ly of education, hoances, child labor,
the dispenssry, and sll Of the Safe
charible and penal institutions. He
talks of pensions and the State
militia, of the Chicamauga battlefield
and the Black report Of special courts
and local legislation. amendments to
tho Constitution ard the spportion,
ment Of representation. The fact is,
Governor Mc5weeney has touched on
everything directly o, Indirectly con-
nected With the State Government.
''On the subject Of the dispenssry,
which was the main issue in the last
campaign, he is Of the opinion that
the present system can be perfected to
such an extent as to silence all opposi,
tiop. He thinks that the question Of
State ownership Of the saloon bus,,
ness Of one of expeiiency rather than
principle and he does not hesitate to
say that in his opinion tae dispensary
offers the best method Of dealing with
this evil.
Governor McSHeeney contends,
with reason, that the law is more rig
Idly enforced now than ever before.
He calls for more explicit declaration
BY the law making b. anch Of the Gov
eminent in order / LAT those who are
charged with the execution Of the laws
may know how to act. He is very much
of favor of abolishing county boards Of
coutrol, devolving their duties upon the
Mayors, and county supervisors.
Governor McSHceuey's message is an
able and exhaustive document. It
shows the present condition Of the
State and will prove valuable guide to
the legislators. he has not hesisat-
ed to make suggestions for the improve
mcnt of the various departments and he
has shown an earnest and sincere de-
sire, to recommend such things as will
tend to the advancement Of the people
and the prosperity Of the State.

A few minutes later the Caro- boat
left Russie's side With the women and

the sea. Some dragged the life boat
ashore and others carried its occupants
in their arms to dry land. Most of
them collapsed from fatigue, cold and
hunger. Their haggsrd faces aud
trembling limbs told Of their awful ex-
periences. By an oversight all the nour-

two miles distant. whence the sufferers
had to walk assisted by their friends.
The life boats then made repeated
journeys until all we're saved and shell
