HAWAIIAN-ANERICAN Line
CONSIDERING new PLAN
Deal on With Panama Railroad for
Freight 1'afic - Benef-
ciil to Both Con-
pauiss,

San Francisco, Oct. 25.-A traffic ar.
rangement that would appear to be a
good thing for both parties is reported
to be under consideration by the Am
erican- Hawaiian Steamship Company
and the Panama Railroad Company.
Since the Inauguration Of the line a
year ago the American Hawaiian com
rany's steamers on the route connect
ing New York with this port and Ho-
nolulu have been running through the
Straits of Magellan. calling at no in
termediate ports of the line except TO
coal. and by reason OF the long voyage
piling up the expenses Of the company
to an extent that required unusually
good management in order to prove
profitable.
Under the arrangement said to be
under negotiation the six large steam
ers of the INSTRUMENTATION line will
soon be plying no further south than
Panama, three running between this
port. Honolulu and Panama, the others
between the isthmus and New York,
with the Panama Railroad company
doing all the overland business
brought to its eighty-mile road by the
great ocean carriers. This will include
the handling of Hawaiian sugar. for
the transportation of which the Amer
Hawaiian company has valuable
contracts. The carrying of this sugar
Is of itself such big item that 1t form.

It's line OF steamers that has been ply

Pacific Mail company expired year
or more ago. All Of its business could
be easily looked after by the Ameri

ma people would be kept busy hand
ling the new business that would flow
In at both ends of the railroad. The
arrangement, it is pointed out, would
he equally profitable to both compan-
!es. One of the principal officers and
stockholders of the American-Hawa-
iian company is authority for the
statement that such an arrangement ID
under consideration.

The last letter he received from
WHEY conveyed the intelligence that
she was quite sick, and of course he
was considerably worried. But he was
comforted by the fact that she was
with her mother. He wrote her an af-
fectionate letter and told her to be sure
and let him know If she grew worse.
The next letter conveyed the intelli-
gence that she was a little worse,
though the doctor said it was nothing
serious. But he worried a great deal

The Coroner. Two verdict..

.Tnquests are sometimes very FUNNY
affairs" remarked a western man. II
remember one in the early days of my
county In Kansas. A man was found
dead by the side Of small stream out
on the prairie. No mark was found
on his well dressed body. His gun
was fully loaded in his hip pocket, and
S25 was found in bis pocketbook Or
course the coroner took charge of the
money. A jury was impaneled and
after finishing its deliberations found
that the man clearly died of heart fall
ure.
The coroner promptly paid from the
dead mans pile the $12 due for ex-
penses and discharged the jury. The
S13 remaining bothered him. He ar
gued that to turn that $13 over to the
county. to be held in trust for the
mans possible relatives, would be the
same as throwing it away. The man
was a stranger In those parts. Posi-
bly, he had no friends.
The coroner was equal to the occa-
sion, however. He declared himself
dissatisfied with the verdict and call
ed the jury together again. They sat
on the body a second time and found
exactly the same verdict, but the coro-
ner's mind was at ease. The $25 was
exhausted" - Washington Star.

shadow Sicily.

Sicily Is in some sense a land OF
shadows-a land where the dead are
more present to the mind than the
living-a land where one feels ones
self to be breathing man visiting,
like Dante or like Hercules, the realms
of phantoms. Everywhere you are
haunted by the ghosts of great men or
the memories Of great events or of
great and departed nations.
In the lemon groves of the promon-
tory Of Naxos one fancies the sickly
Nicias Willing away the winter,
while his fleet rides in the bay outside
the Greek harbor. At Syracuse we
see q whole host Of great shades
Nicias again and Lamachus, slain near
the Anapo, and the ghosts of thou
sands of Athenians perishlng in the
great harbor and on the cliffs of Epi-
pol@ and, last of all, in the quarries,
and so vanishing into thin air. And
again by the shores Of Ortygia we
think of Plato and Pinslar and Bacchy-
lides and Simonides, the visitors at the
court Of the stately Hero, and last, but
not least, of st. Paul tarrying for
a short space in the harbor and per-
haps preaching in some of the squares
and streets of the old city
There is yet another figure who fol-
lows ones thoughts through Sicily
the naughty and mystical Empedocles.
We remember him on the slopes of
Etna, in his native Acragas, and again
at Selinus. And even in bright and
busy Palermo the dead are more to
us than the living. 1t is of Hamilkar
or Marcellus or Frederick II and the
brilliant Norman kings that we think
the most. So thoroughly in Sicily do
the shadows of the past dominate the
living present.-Sir Edward Fry's
Studies by the Way"

know what was coming. We were as
high as we could get and could only
wait for the peril. 1t came as the sun
rose. We heard booming, roaring and
crashing and next minute caught sight
of tidal wave sweeping in. That
wave was 20 feet high, and as it rolled
across the island from north to south
its foamy crest was only 80 feet below
where we stood. There were three
waves, each moving at speed of 100
miles an hour, and then the sea settled
down to it's usual level and soon grew
quiet. A thousand acres of forest had
been swept away and the whole face
of the island changed in a moment.

Hntell and Trained Nurses.

Trained nurses are not welcome
guests in New York hotels, and in fact
in many they are expressly forbidden
to appear in the dining rooms in their
uniforms. The hotel keepers object to
their presence in their working dresses
because any indication Of the existence
of disease In a hotel is disadvani
geous. Under these circumstances the
are compelled to 60 through as much
preliminary labor before they go to
meals as If they had been invited under
formal circumstances. Yet the wisdom
of the rule on the part Of the hotel pro-
prietors is admitted. as In some Of the
large hotels up town occupied chiefly
by families there are frequently 10 or
IL trained nurses employed. The sight
of SO many would not be reassuring to
guests.-New York Sun.

terrible windfalls, and it was awfully

men had to simply squirm their way

The savages had comparatively thin

soldiers took off their boots and stepped

a heavy rainstorm, with much wind,
came up and soon drowned out the fir
ing that our foes kept up on our camp.
Our policy of holding our fire SO fooled
them that they did not rush our camp
until the following morning, fact that
I learned later. The storm was wild
and terrible. We were drenched, and
the timber began to fall all about us.

could not travel for reasons of our own,

Probably very few persons who fire.

means or why a halter is necessarily
any more subject to fits of anger than

come into use half century ago, when
the manufacture of hats was done
wholly by hand. The most striking
thing about the process was that of the

administered to the felt, as If the work
man were actually incensed, gave rise
to the familiar smile.

at is curious" writes City Of Mex
leo correspondent of the Boston Her
aid, what contrasts there are among
the young men of the land. Out on the
haciendas and ranches you find sturdy
young fellows much on horseback and
expert with the rope and as skiIlful in
riding as the Cossacks of the Don.
These young men are the hope Of Mex
leo. Often tall, broad shouldered and
vigorous, they will be the fathers Of
healthy children and keep the Mexican
nation alive From men of this sort
the cities are recruited. and their de-
scendants viii be the ruling men OF
the country. They, too, are romantic,
but with a difference. They are too
healthy to become aesthetic, and yet
the women who marry them will be
happier than as the mates Of the poets
whose fine fancies thrill the feminine
