Bark Nuuanu Arrives From New
York in Remarkable Time
of III Days.

The bark Nuuana Captain Josslya,
arrived from New York yesterday
morning. having made the run in 112
days, and this despite the fact that she
was deep into the water with cargo.
The vessel had variable weather on
her long voyage. and neither very good
nor very bad. The Cape was made in
sixty days and rounded in eleven days.
Last time the Nuuanu came the same
route it took her thirty-eight days 70
round the old point.
She brought one passenger, r. NJ.
Danach of Philadelphia. Most of her
cargo consists of general supplies for
F. o. Hall & Sons new building. which
she will discharge at the Irmgard
wharf.
Last time the Nuuanu came from
New York she was 154 days mainkg the
trip. Her present trip is the best thai
has been made between the two ports
for the last six years. The Henry B.

TOOK EVANS JR.
FOR A GERMAN
An Interesting Story of Colonel
Sheridan and a Recent
Visitor Here.

The following story is being told Of
Ensign Frank T. Evans. son of Rear
Admiral Evans. who passed through
here on the Gaelic, en- route to the ORR
ent. last Tuesday.
When Prince Henry OF Prussia and
his party went TO Governors Island to
return official calls, they were accom-
sen. Among the army officers encoun-
tered at General Brooke's house was
Colonel Michael V. Sheridan. who. ac-
cording to the story. sauntered up TO
young Evans and engaged him in con-
versation. Said the colonel:
lit is wonderful. sir. how you Ger
mans master the English language Do
you know that you haven't trace OF
German accent? To me it's wonderful.
Any one would suppose you were an
American"
Ensign Evans inherits some Of bis
fathers directness of speech. When. he
became assured that Colonel Sheridan
was not joking he bridled up a bit and
said:
Why the devil shouldn't + be taken
for an American? I happen to have
been here a few years before L went
to the Naval Academy. 1 was there
four years and I've been kicking around
pretty much ever since"
Colonel Sheridan looked at the young
man a moment and then quietly said:
Il don't think quite understood your
name. May ask what il is?"
When he found who the young ensign
was the navy men say he looked away
of toward the parade ground for a.
and then remarked:
Young man. tell your father to come
up and see me and We'll settle this as
one should be settled which is On me.
You're too young to accept apologies,
as they should be-"

TINY SCHOONER
HERE FOR GRUB
Built Maksoutoff Halls
Here on Her Way to
Manila.

The little 57-ton schooner Maksoutoff.
% days from San Francisco for Manila,
put in here early yesterday afternoon,
and dropped her anchors in the stream.
The reason of her visit IS hat she ran
short of provisions and fresh water.
Her size is so small that it was almost
impossible for her to have taken On
board enough provisions in San Fran
cisco to last such a long trip.
Coming down the little craft ran in
to a storm, during which her halyards
were carried away.
The Maksoutoff was built in Alaska,
and named after the last Russian Gov
ernor of that country. Her master is
Captain Gray.

You certainly don't want to eat il
you are not hungry. But you must
eat, and you must digest your food,
too. If not, you will become weak,

PARCEL DELIVERY BY TUBE.
Private Company That Has Installed
. System In Boston--Plan Would
Save Much Trafac

Pneumatic tubes have long been
used for the transmission of change,
messages, and other light articles.
They were also en- mp!oyed for a time
in Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia for mail trans mission, although
this was stopped about a year ago.
1t is quite possible that tubes-which
have long been in extensive use on
the other side Of the water for
the dispatch CT mail, may again be en-
ployed for that purpose IN this coun-
try, and not only in the cities named.
but also in others. In the meantime
an interesting experiment in the use
of pneumatic tubes for delivering or
Glrary parcels was begun by pri-
vate company in Boston last August
end is described by the engineer Of
the company, Mr.. Edward d. Sabine,
in the Engineering News. The line
starts in the midst Of the retail dis
trict and has two branches. One runs
to the Back Bay, distance OF mile
and half. The other runs a mile to
a point in the South end, whence a
line continues mile farther to Rox-
bury, and from there another line ex-
tends mile and quarter farther to
Dorchester. Every line is really
double, one tube being for outward
and the other for inward business.
The carrier travels at the rate of a
mile in two minutes. Bundles are col
lected by team for deposit and are
distributed by team from the other
end. It is obvious that a proper
pneumatic tube parcel delivery sys-
tenn, having direct connections with
big stores and other centers of dis
tribution in the downtown district in
any large city, would obviate a great
amount of traffic in that district.
The Boston system is not such one.
but SO far as it goes the results Of its
use will be instructive.

Tradition some etimes plays strange

says Thomas Walker Page in Allan
tic. It would make an interesting
hat hour for the eavesdropper be-
yond the Styx, if he could hear the
exchange of amenities between Duns

q shrewd, clear reasoner, whose name

has come to stand for organized saw

means deserving of oblivion, still less
of obloquy. 1t seems, indeed, one Of
the iniquities Of fate that his name
should now be universally applied to
proceedings that no one would con-
denim more heartily than he. The
records of the court of Bedford coun-

TIE PEOPLE OF MARS.
New Convert to Theory That Planet
IL Inhabited-Says Communi-
cation Is Impossible.

Prof. Samuel A. Harker, occupying
omy in the University of Indianapolis,
lately gave out a statement that he is
a convert to the theories advanced by
Sir Robert Ball, Garrett Serviss and
others, that the planet Mars is in
habited, and that it's people are ex-
ceedingly intelligent and enterprising,
but it is impossible to communicate
with them.
Prof. Harl1er further says, accord
Ing to the Cincinnati Enquirer, that
1.-THE Martians are people OF stu
peudous power and wonderful engi-
neering skill. Were it possible to sig
nal them, there is little doubt that
they would understand and reply, as
they are race OF enormous brain de-
velopment."
Prof. Harker further adds that in
all Of the thousands Of years Of
the earth's history it's people have
not succeeded in changing the face of
the planet to any such extent as the
people of Mars have changed theirs,
but he sees no way of signaling to
them. He does not take kindly to
the theory advanced by Tesla, of cleo
trio signals conveyed through the
ether, as Prof Harker believes it an i'm
possibility to develop the requisite
energy to tran smit the waves so far.

SEA SERPENT INDICATED.
Omcfal Report of Monster One Hun
dred Feet Long IL Recorded In
the Government Archives.

After being the subject for many
years of uncertainty, doubt, and even
downright disbelief, the sea serpent
has been vindicated officially and evil
dence of his reality recorded in the
government archives at Wa Washington. In
a report to the hydrogra phic Office of
the navy department Henry H. Neli-
gan, one Of the regular observers of
marine events designated by the chief
hydrogra pher, officially youches for
the existence Of one of these monsters
of the deep. Mr.. Nehgan's report was
mailed in Liverpool, where he arrived
November 10, on the Prada. The ser
pent was seen while tbs Prada was on
its last regular voyage from Calves
ton to Liverpool, and he was 100 feet
long. Mr.. Neligan thus describes the
monster: THE head Of the serpent
had blunt, square nose and was EJECT
ing water to the height Of two or three
feet from it's nostrils. The animal or
fish lad three distinct sets of fms and
a tail lying across like a porpoise. On
its back was a series OF humps like
camel" The latitude and longitude

LADIES 30 FROG HUNTING.
sY@Hoeu at COnataA.
xinOple.

Gre Of the favorite amusements Of
French ladies' at Constantinople is
frog hunting. says the London Tele-
graph. A large party IS organized, the
ladies all appear in dainty Partisan toi-
lettes, with very high heels to their
boots, and each carries long bamboo
rod. The gentlemen are got up in prop
er costume for "la chasse" and bear
sticks. Then they all sd iourn to soTe
marshy spot where frogs abound and
begin fishing. The bait is piece Of
raw meat tied to a string at the end
of the bamboo.
The ladies do the fishing, and as soon
as one sees that frog has swallowed
the bait she gives a violent jerk to the
rod. which brings the frog out onto
the land. The attendant sportsmen
then fall upon the ferocious animal
and slay it with their sticks. The la
dies sometimes also join in the La ST ia
tai act, but the men always try to dis
suade them, as in their excitement
they frequently mistake mans head
or foot for the frog and the sport be-
comes too dangerous.

WOMEN HAVE BEST OF IT.
Difference shown the Feminine Sex
An Transferring Salt Lake street
Car Passengers.

Women In Salt Lake City have q
considerable advantage over the men
when they come to patronize the
street cars. In that haven of Nor
monism they have a system Of street
railway transfers which is hard to
beat The passenger who receives :
transfer from a Salt Lake conductor
is compelled to use it himself or
throw it away.
Every ticket has printed on it, be-
sides the usual hours and the names
of intersecting lines, row or seven
small heads. Five of them are male
heads, two are female. OF the male
heads the first is q beardless face.
the second bears mustache, the
third mutton chop" whiskers, the
fourth a chin beard and the fifth is
fully bearded. Beneath the row are
two plus signs. with a forty between
them. The conductor is required to
identity each passenger by punch
ing one of the faces and one OF the
signs for age. the first plus being
used for young men, the 30 for men
of middle age and the final plus for
elderly men.
OF the heads representing women
one wears a hat and represents
young women in general. and the
other bonnet, for matrons. With
really rare delicacy, the question OF
age is not mentioned in regard to
female passengers.
