Didn't Dars to Risk It.

Among other things found in an old
scrapbook which has recently come to
light Is an amusing anecdo!e OF Wen
dell Phillips, taken from copy OF the
Richmond Dispatch at the close of the
Civil war:
"The distinguished abolitionist went
to Charleston, s. c., once, before he
was very we'll known, and put up at q
hotel. He had breakfast served in his
room, aud was waited upon by slave.
"Mr. Phillips seized the opportunity
to represent to the negro in pathetic
way that he regarded him as man
and brother, and more than that, that
he himself was an ablitionist.
"The negro, however, seemed more
anxious about his breakfast than lie
was about his position in the social
scale or tho condition of his soul, and
finally Mr.. Phillips became discourag-
ed and told him to go away, saying
that he could not bear to be waited on
by slave.

the negro 81 is 'bliged to stay here

Joke Leads to a Rich Gald Find.
Redding CAL, Dispatch.

Redding CAL, Dispatch.
More than 100 mining claims bave
been staked 'sithin four days and
scores of miners are hurrying to the
district as the result of the finding of
what promises to be great gold ledge
at the western base of the Shasta d.
vide, 10 miles this side of French
Gulch.
Not less remarkable than the ledge
itself is the manner in which it came
to be discovered. A man told OF the
supposed ledge as joke and a miner
proved the joke reality. One night
last week in French Gulch store q
crowd of miners and others were spin
ming yarns.
Martin Foster, who ia not miner,
told of ledge which he knew must
exist beside the county road at the
base Of the Shasta divide, because he
had picked up bit of quartz there
IL years ago which sparkled with gold.
He meant the story for joke.
William Ellis, a miner, heard the
story and set out early next morning
Ter the spot which Foster had describ-
ed. He located the little gulch with
out difficulty ard before night he had
located ledge which cropped out at
the surface. He returned next day
greatly elated and opened up the vein.
The pay streak is more than two feet
wide and assays from 500 to $500 per
ton. It has baea opsnel up for about
100 ieetand gives no sign of pinching
out. -

NET SQUALLS OFF
DIAMOND HEAD
Bark Andrew WEIGH Had a Hard
Night When Nearing
Honolulu.

The bark Andrew WEIGH, Captain
Drew, arrived from San Francisco at
noon yesterday, having experienced a
bad tussle with the elements off Dia-
mond Head Saturday night. The yes
sci previously had light winds all the
way and so required twenty-five days
for the trip. She has a full cargo of
general merchandise, some of it being
on deck. Among the cargo is a ship
ment of fine potatoes, amounting to
500 bags.
At 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon
the bark was sighted off Diamond
Head, but the winds were SO light that
she was unable to make the anchorage
and so spent very bad night After
the sun went down the vessel had a
battle against continuous squalls. 1t
was so dark that Captain Drew was
unable to make the anchorage, and so
had to beat around during the entire
night, and was not brought into port
until noon yesterday.

laps Needed Sake Which Arrived
on the Steamship
Gaelic.

An emperor's birthday and no sake
to celebrate it with would be about as
disagreeable to Japanese as a Christ
mas in New England without any
cranberries and cider. The Japs were
nearly confronted With such situa-
ton as this owing to the fact that the
Korea did not make a call here on her
last trip to the Coast from the Orient,
and for this reason the coming of the
Gaelic on Saturday, with a monster
cargo of 1,500 tons of Japanese goods
for this port, was gladly welcomed by
the Jap merchants. Although the O..
and o. liner reached the wharf early
Saturday morning. she could not get
all her goods discharged until late in
the night, and this did not enable the
Jap merchants to get them through
the Customs.
! AS today is a holiday for the Japs
they would not have any opportunity
to get the big supply of provisions and
| sake, so Collector Stackable remedied
the difficulty by issuing special per-
mits, allowing the Japanese to get the
| goods, or a portion of them, away on
Sunday forenoon. About 400 tubs OF
sake were earted from the wharf, and
/ quite a large quantity of JaUanese prO-
visions
The Gaelic's cargo was the largest
that has been brought to this port in
i:years from Japanese port, and hel
/ discharge of 1900 tons of freight dur
ing one working day and night may
almost be regarded as record. Al
though her freight was large, her pas.
senger list was correspondingly small
| She departed for San Francisco al
6:55 o'clock yesterday morning.

scow PIONEER LOADED TO THE RAILS WITH IMMIGRANTS

The steam scow Pioneer, owned by
Hackfeld & Co., and which is used in
transporting Japanese emigrants from
the Oriental liners at the Quarantine
wharf to Quarantine pier is a. well
known vessel in Honolulu harbor life,
but strangers coming in on the steam

OF interest in its operations.
Hundreds of people in custody of the
immigration officials are loaded from
the vessel into the scow. All sorts of
baggage is also piled aboard, and as
the scow leaves the sides of the steam

around it, parties of local Japanese

g MICKIE MEETS
+. THE STEAMERS
And Tries to Rescue the
Boys Who Are in
Swimming.

Most everyone who visits the
wharves on steamer days knows
.Mickie." The party mentioned is not
a longshoreman or a gangplank guard.
He is an old, white-colored dog, owned
by Mr.. Rice of the Metropole. A
steamer never comes in without this
old dog trying to rescue" one of the
native boys when he sees them swim
ming near the wharves, and in turn
the poor old dog has to be rescued by
the lads, who usually extract quarter
from Mr.. Rice for the service.
The old dog seems to be greatly
afraid of the water, and when a boy
starts to jump from the wharf he sets
up great howl. He fears that the boy
may drown, and jumping in after him,
grabs hold of some portion of his bath
ing suit. When the lad shows the dog
that he is in no danger Of drowning
and rapidly swims away from him
"Mickie" loses heart and tries to swim
back to the wharf. The old dog is
lacking in strength, though, and the
boys always have to get hold of his
collar and drag him through the water
to the wharf, where they hold hin,
until the twenty-five cent piece is
forthcoming from his owner.

IN THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED
DAYS.

Powdered Wigs Formed an Important
Adjunct to a Gentleman's Apparel.
1t is safe to say that the majority of
bald men of today would gladly re-
vive the old, dignifed custom if they
could. But, they can do the next best
thing to it; that is, to revive the
growth of the hair nature gave them.
In cases where the hair root or hair
bulb has not been completely destroyed
by parasites that infest it, Newbro's
Herpicide will do wonders in the way
of stimulating the growth of lifeless
and falling hair. Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect. That is the sue
cessful mission of Herpicide.
