Late Letters for the coast.

Although people have been reminded
of the fact dozens of times. they still
become indignant at the last moment
before a steamer departs from the
wharf because the mail steamers can
not accept. at the wharf letters which
simply have a stamp pasted on them.
As there is no opportunity for the pos
tai department TO check such letters
the law says that letters cannot be ac-
cepted unless they are in envelopes
which have the stamp printed upon

Beer for the Band.

The Territorial Band is in luck.
When playing the Doric off its purser
sent out a foaming glass of beer for
each man. Yesterday when piping off
the Coptic the boys We're surprised
when the Sims officers sent out two
bottles of beer for each man. If this
thing keeps up, said one of the bands
men, well play every steamer off and
in that visits this port.

CHALLENGES THE
WATERFRONT
CAPTAIN Blanchard Has a Sloop
Which Can Sail
Fast.

.'Yessir-e-sir. we'll race any old tub
YOU got in port" said Yankee Skipper
Blanchard, of the American ship Ban
galore, as he pointed to a small sloop
that lay on the vessels deck
The sloop, or whatever it may be
called, is crazy built craft about
twenty feet in length and with her bow
and stern cooked up high into the
air. one could sit in the boat while
1t lay on deck and almost imagine that
he was in rocking chair. The skipper
didn't exactly know how to describe his
little craft. He didn't know whether II
could be called simply a "sailin' bote"
or a regular line of battle ship. It's
a funny little craft, anyway, and has
a high mast and a big acreage Of sail
The captain says there's no other sail
ing boat In the world like it and for
this reason has called it the None
Such.
The None Such" was planned by the
captain on his trip from Chile and
built by the ships carpenter. 1t has
never been in the water yet, bat Cap
tain Blanchard hopes to launch 1t to-
day from the deck of the Bangalore.
He believes it Is a fast craft and would
like to meet anything of it's class whose
owners believe that they have boats
that are fast. An interesting race may
eventuate during the Bangalore's stay
in Honolulu.

Oldest ship in the World.

What is stated to be the oldest ship in
the world, says the Marine Record. has
recently been sold at Teneriffe to be
broken up. This is the Italian ship Anita
registered at the port of Genoa. The
Anita which resembled Christopher Col
umbus' ship. the Santa Maria was built
in Genoa in 1913. and effected her last
voyage at the end of March. 1902. from
Naples TO Teneriffe. six or seven weeks
ago. The Anita was of tremendously
stout build, and had weathered countless
storms and tornadoes in all parts of the
world; but it was also the slowest ship.

Gable Benefits Navy.

Should the Secretary of the Navy
and Rear Admiral Bradford. u. s. NJ,
Chief of the Bureau Of Equipment. de-
eide to assent to the proposition which
mas been made to them by representa-
tiveS Of the Commercial Pacific Gable
Company and the Eastern Extension
Telegraph Company it is probable that
the United States will be placed in di-
rect cable communication with the
Philippines by way of Hawaii and
Guam a year earlier than was original
Iy contemplated. The cable companies
propose that if the government will
give them the use OF information de-
veloped in the surveys made in 1899 by
che u. &. s. Nero in search for q prac-
t!cable cable route across the Pacific.
they will have their lines to Manila
completed end ready for business by
the end of 1903. The offer has been
taken under consideration and Admiral
Bradford has been charged to make a
personal investigation of the whole
matter, the belief prevailing in some
quarters that he will make an early
report in favor of accepting the Lropo-
sition. Compared with the tolls which
the government is now required to pay
on it's official messages to and from the
Philippines, the rates offered by the
Commercial Pacific Company would
doubtless result in the saving in sin
gle year of an amount considerably eX-
ceeding the cost of the Nero's survey.

TOMMY'S FRIEND.
Pathetic Story of Lieut. Roper and ths
 New York Bootb, ack.

It is quite safe to say that when the news reached this country that Lieut.. Commander J. NJ. Roper had lost his life in a heroic tndeayor to save d member of his crew from sui location in a burning eompartmentin the hold of the gunboat Petrel, in the Philippine waters, no enc felt more his loss than did a humble truck driver in New York.
 In the days gone by this man had been known simply as Tommy. He had been a typical New York waif, knowing neither home nor parents. He could neither read nor write. but these were tEe least of his troubles. Possibly when he was hungry he stole trihes of food occasionally, but never was guilty of a vicious theft-one committed for inc theft's sake. This was Tommy when al the age of IS he enlisted in the navy under the misap- prehension that all sailors have an op- portunity to see every bit of the wide world.
 But he was soon disappointed. Aftel a few weeks on the training-ship, tht monotony of the daily drill became irksome. If ever he had any ambition it had all deserted him. No one m derstood him and no one cared fol him.
 Then one day the captain took hin to Lieut. Roper, and said. 3Lieuten. ant, I wish you would take this boy and see if yeu can make apything cut

of him. Every officer on the ship has had him and no one can do anything with him. The lieutenant evidently knew boys, for the first thing he did was to take Tommy to the ''master-at- arms and order brand-new outfit of clothing. That the clothing must fit vas imperative. No makeshifts would do. When Tommy was newly arIayer he began to feel like a prince. He forgot to long for the East side. and Lieut.. Roper became father. mother and family to hjm.
 Then came naval parade at New port. Tommy al his best walked proudly along behind his friend, But when the officer returned to the ship, TommyWasunaccou for Later in the evening Tommy appeared in the doorway of the lieutenant room, and in response to theHeattHanJ inquir ie-. said: "Excuse me, sir. fur bein' left. bur some Q dem shore guys fought de edo me playin' mibs. an see here, and Tommy showed big bagful of marbles in Mr Roper's face, conclusive evidence that "dem shore guys had beer done
 And then Tommy had been trans fcrred toanother ship. Thi-was sad parting fer Tommy, and many were the secret tears lie shed. His new of feers were kind enough. but still he felt the loss of personal interest. Again his thoughts reverted to the East side and one day Tommy was missing.
 Some years later Lieut.. Roper, 1 while walking up Murray street. was stopped by q familiar voice crying; "Shine, sir?2 That sir sounded wonderfully like Tommy. So it proved, and the tears were in his eyes and voice as he said: You see, Mr. Roper, l couldn't stand t.

 The lieutenant turned his head away, and after short pause, said, with an affected sharpness; Had your breakfast, Tommy es, sir.
 Tommy lied. But he gloried in the lie after it had been told. How could he accept more kindness from the only true friend he ever had? The lieutenant ignored the falsehood. ''fake this and buy your breakfeast, " were his last words, and he went his way with sad heart, leaving sadder one behind

 The stenographer looked out and winked slyly over the best man. Looks like your friend after another half-dollar," she replied.
 "How l hate smartness in young women," was what Mr. Bitters' look said, but he maintained a silence which did not matter much in view of the thunders emitted by the barrel organ in the street. Alr.
