GOOD WIVES OF GREAT MEN.


There is nothing IL the history Of love more at
tractive than the pictures of the ideally happy
ried lives enjoyed by some Of greatest men
touching than the tribute they paid to the
women who filed their days with sunshine Indeed,
If one asked to present picture the sublim-
ity of married happiness it would be only necessary
TO recall the in which Charles Kingsley, within
few days Of his death. having escaped from
his sick room sat for few blissfu moments by the
bedside OF his wife, who lying seriously i'll in the
next room. Taking Of her hands tenderly in
his he said a hushed voice: Don't speak, darling
This is heaven"
Few men, great or small have been happier in
their married life than John Bright and the story
of his unconsolable grief when his wife, -the
shine and soace OF his days" taken from him.
forms one Of the most pathetic pages OF human his
tory 1T seems to me-" he Iatfuy said, las though
the world plunged in darkness and that no
ray OF light could ever reach ME again this side the
tomb"
The late Dean Stanley. it is said, worshipped the
very ground of his WIFE, Lady Augusta ,trod on,
and many are the compliments he paid her. IF
TO epitomize my wifes qualities he said,
4 couldn't do it better than in the words of cab
who drove US on our honeymoon. Your wife
he said to me- is the best woman in EngIand'--and
I quite agree with him"
why should you pity me-" Mr. Fawcett the
blind postmaster-general, remarked a friend who
had expressed sympathy with him in his affection.
My wife is all the eyes want and no man ever
looked the world through eyes more sweet or
true"
Dr.. Puseys too brief married life was also
crowded with happiness and his wife's memory
was his one solace during the fortythree years he
survived her. To his dying day the very sight and
smell Of the verbena plant affected him to tears
for it was sprig Of verbena he offered to Miss
Barber when he asked her to marry hm-"the most
sacred and blissful moment OF his life

wife, the brave and devoted woman who was in his
words, the best helpmate undeserving man ever
had. Whatever mistakes l have made in my life
and they have been many and great-she has never
had word Of blame for me, nothing but sweet sym
pathy and consolation. The price of such wife
should indeed be far above rubies"
DR.. Wordsworth late Bishop of Lincoln said that
his welded life had been 'as perfection as was
possible this side Of Eden" Their children"

MISS STONES RANSOM MONEY.

The possible employment of the money secured
as ransom for Miss Stone to pay the cost of the
present uprising in Macedonia is noted by the Spring
field Republican, which says: ut would be no ex-
IRENE remark to say that the Miss Stone ransom
money has furnished the financial basis for the in
surrecton just announced in Macedonia Insurgents
in that reason do not require very great amount
Of fhancerng, and 5000 peasants in the Balkans
could easily take the field for a while on 100000
Still, it would be remark unsupported by positive
proof although it is universally believed that Miss
Stone was kidnapped by leaders of the Macedonian
cause for the sole purpose OF aiding their projects

CARRIE NATION RAIDINc TEXAS.

Carrie Nation may not be adding to the good
name of Kansas, but she is getting in big ticks in
the way Of fame for herself She is down raiding
saloons in Texas This is equivalent boarding the
lion in his den Now Texas people don't know
much about Kansas and as a rule don't want to
know. 1t was but two or three years ago since the
writer of this spoke to a citizen Of Galveston of
enc OF our notable women, Mrs. Lease. He had
never heard OF her But this is a disgres-
sion Texas in localities, has plenty of sa-
looms. Austin, its beautiful capital has its
share. Carrie landed in Austin the other evening.
She was evidently looking for mischief She didn't
shoot up" the town. but just stepped into gilded
resort for drink, and belonging to alderman of
the city Bill Anderson by name After she had
rendered herself sufficiently conspicuous the pro-
pretor asked her who she was. Striking an impress
sive altitude with flourish of her arms, she
answered: 4 am Carrie Nation, sir, and was never
known to leave hell hole until I got good and
ready" Now here's where the lack of knowledge Of
Kansas people comes in. The proprietor had never
heard of Carrie and her Ratchet. Approaching her
in very quiet manner he laid one hand gently upon
her shoulder and the other about her waist and
asked her to please withdraw intimating that one
or the other must go. Upon her second refusal our
Kansas female reformer, TO the chagrin of Carrie
and the disgrace of Texas was landed in the gutter
The dispatches say that the speech that she there
upon made from the curbstone upon which she had
climbed collected such crowd as had to be dis
persed by the police. OF course Austin is located
Lone Star State, where on account Of alkali water
beer must be resorted to- but Kansas protests that
this uncermoniousy tossing little old crazy woman
into the street by main force is not exactly up
the Bowie and CrOcket standard Of chvalry.

soLoMoNs MINES ARE IN SPAIN.

The mines of Tarshish, where King Solomon
got his gold and silver and precious stones, were
situated in what is now the southwestern part of
Spain, according TO Prof Paul Haupt of John Hop
kins University who has just returned from tour
Of research abroad There is no gold there now,
nor precious stones, with which to decorate temples
Baron Rothschid is the present of King Solo
mons mines and he gets therefrom iron in profit
able quantity.
Prof Haupt has spent a good deal Of his time
abroad applying modern science 10 the Interpretation
Of the Bible and a result has added vast amount
of data to his already abundant store After discov
erng to his own satisfaction the mines of Tarshish
in Spain he delved around the ancient workings and
found specimens Of cryolite Of indescribabe beauty
Putting two and two of known geological facts to-
gether, he believes that King solomon perhaps used
much of this cryolite to ornament his temples.
Prof Haupt has discerned in his investigation
Of the Scriptures of the songs of solomon we're love
ballads written before Solomons time He has pre-
pared work which has just been published giving
TRANSACTIONS from the Hebrew of these writings
Prof Haupt is convinced of one important thing
after giving no little attention to the Red Sea on
his trip. This is the correctness OF the assertion
that the children Of Israel crossed the sea by land
Prof Haupt explains there is nothing extraordinary
about this. as the sea may be crossed at certain
times now over places where the water is shallow or
turns back The Egyptians took advantage Of one
of these places probably. bur the pursuing armys
effort illtmed and it caught in q storm
and lost
Prof Haupt says the formation of the Red Sea
is constantly changing and now differs greatly from
what it was centuries ago.

SAW NIPPON DEPART
BIG CROWD AT PACIFIC MAIL
WHARF TO-DAY.
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. W. Porter
> Boyd Crowd the Vessel To Say
Aloha.

The departure of the Nippon Maru
for the Orient today was of more than
usual interest, for. in addition to the
Chinese Consul Wong Wei Pin being
passenger, w. Porter Boyd the local
shipping commissioner was a passen-
fer for Shanghai, accompanied by his
wife. Several prominent Japanese
people also took passage for Yokoha-
ma. NJ. Mark Hanna, who has been
a prominent member of the Healani
Yacht d Boat Club, and was also in
the registry department of the local
post office, went to Yokohama where
he will engage in business. l. Eisen-
berg, a commercial traveller, who
stopped over here from a recent YES
sci, resumed his voyage to the Orient.
The steamer was thronged with three
different sets of people who had gone
to bid friends farewell. Both decks
were crowded, and the shore gong
had to be sounded several times before
everybody could be gotten ashore.
The friends and family of Mr.. and Mr..
and Mrs. Boyd were on the vessel in
the greatest number, and Mrs. Boyd
was covered with leis of all descrip-
tion. Nj. Boyd was generously treat
ed, being the recipient of many leis.
Consul Yang Wei Pin was also at
leHueu Dy ITlenuS, as were the depart
ing Japanese passengers, Consul Mkt
Saito and members of the japanese
consulate being present.
The Nippon Maru arrived last even
ing about 8 o'clock from San Francis
co. She has over 5000 tons of freight
for the Orient but carries few passen-
gers. While being docked she showed
her nose into Naval Wharf No. l, but
the damage did not amount to very
much.
The Nippon Maru brought 200 sacks
of mail representing five days later
mail and news Captain William
Woodus Greene, her regular master,
was in command, as he recovered from
his attack of heat exhaustion which
was felt first in Honolulu
Quite an odd coincidence occurred
with the arrival of the Nippon Maru.
1t was on her that May Yohe and Cap
tain Bradlee Strong eloped from, San
Francisco to the Orient about a year
ago, both of them passing through HO-
nolulu at the time and now at the end
of that time, the Nippon brings the
news of the captains desertiOn of the
woman and the disappearance of her
jewelry.

KINAU FOR FRISCO
BIG CROWD SAW HER DEPART
THIS MORNING.
She Took Small Crowd of Passengers
win Require About Nine Days To
Make the Trip.

A big crowd saw the steamer Kinau
Captain Freeman, depart for San Fran
cisco this morning. All that was need
ed was the presence of the Territorial
band to have made the departure as
imposing as the sailing of the regular
liners. The vessel did not take a very
large list of passengers, but those who
did depart on her, were remembered by
their friends, for leis were in profusion.
DR.. Monsarrat was a passenger. The
crowd said he had gone to see some of
the hot games of baseball that are
played by the California League.
Billy Fennell, who has been with
the Wilder S. S. Company for a num-
Der of years, and who was until re-
Gently at Mahukona, signed as purser.
The vessel took a good sized crew rep
resenting all departments on the
steamer. r. B. Seike, who was for
merly mate on the tug Fearless, and
who had been acting as assistant har-
with the Kinau, went as first officer of
the steamer. A. V. Inman was chief
engineer.
The vessel backed out from the Will
der slip into the stream a few minutes
after 8 o'clock this morning, and
promptly got under way. She gave
three farewell whistles as she went
ahead and was saluted in turn by the
tugs Eleu, Fearless and the quarantine
launch Oahu. 1t is expected that the
vessel will take about nine to ten days
in which to make the trip to San Fran
cisco, where she will remain four
months undergoing various rel airs
and renoVations.
The passengers departing on her
were DR.. w. T. Monsarrat, Mrs. Steele
and four children, Mrs. Clark and
daughter, Mrs. Inman and child, and
Mrs. Gardner.
The following officers were shipped
on the Kinau: w. Freeman, master;
r. B. Seike, first officer; George Hald-
arm, second officer; A. V. Inman, chief
engineer; James F. Lynch, first assist
ant; H. F. Mocine, second assistant;
L. Self, r. V. Jellings, ]. Naevura,
quartermasters; Louissaint, chief stew
art; w. p. Fennell, purser; and a crew
of twenty-five men.
