EORESTs PARK

A good clean up-to-date vaudeville show is what the management of For est park will offer their patrons, for one solid week commencing this after noon. Perhaps the best act on the bill will be that of the great gymnasts. Delmore x Oneda, artists who have but lately appeared in the east, having spent the greater part of their pro- fessional career in the western states. The sketch of Rado and Bertman, is all new and full of life and ginger; John Barker, has bunch of new stories and fine collection of novelty character limitations in his new act: May Belmont, a singer and dancer has been well spoken of by the press in the various New England cities in which she has appeared with this com pany; Mitchell and Cain, with their singing sketch-one of those acts that must be seen to be appreciated They are using all new material this summer and their success is even greater than ever before.

Girl Preferred Death to Separation
 from Wealthy Intimate.
 New Haven, July 2S.-Coroner Mix went to Branford Saturday and in- vestigated the death of Etta Cook of this city at the Double Beach house. He decided it was q plain case of sui eide. For a year or so she had been on intimate terms with Alfred Austel, wealthy southerner at the Yale Law school Until six weeks ago she had been employed at Winchester's but re- signed at the request of Austell and since that time has Ebeen much of the time with him at the Double Beach house. Austell is the owner of an au- tomobile and he and the girl had been seen together often riding about 1n It. Miss Cook told friends she was in love with Austell and expected to elope with him shortly. Austell graduated from the Yale Law school last June and there was nothing to keep him here longer except the girl. He made up his mind to leave here tomorrow for his home ill Atlanta, Ga. His plans did not include taking the girl along. He went to ride with her i'll his automobile Friday and on their re- turn had some conversation about his departure While they were in theft room at the hotel the girl drank car bolic acid and died in AustelPs arms. She was only 20 years old, an orphan, and leaves brother and sister.
 Austel1 will remain here until after the funeral, which will be held to-day. He will pay all the expenses and there will be no prOSecutl0n.

ColOred Marauder's Plans.
 New Haven, July 28.-Judge James Bishop, of the police court, has sum mer cottage at Rocky Beach, and this cottage was the scene of an exciting incident early Sunday morning. Judge Bishops eldest daughter, a young lady aged seventeen, was awakened abrupt ly about 2 a. m. by the window of her room being pushed open Appearing at the window she saw the head and shoulders of colored man, who, see ing that he had aroused one of the inmates of the house, still did not give up hope of plunder.
 Trying to soothe, and at the same time intimfdate Miss Bishop he said: Keep quiet, lady, I shan't murder you, I shan't harm you. I'll only be about five minutes"
 He then struck a match H order to see what there was of value in the room, but Miss Bishop gave a p1ucky and lusty scream and the negro slid down the ladder in quick order and made good his escape. The scream aroused everyone in the house, and a search was made, but no traces of the man could be found. The ladder, it was learned, had been taken from the neighbours house, that of Mir Osborn, who lives not far away

GOODRICH HAD
PLANNED A FEAST
But Nippon Maru Was Not Speedy
Enough and Did Not Ar
rive in Time.

The most disappointed man that ever
entered Honolulu harbor aboard Of a
steamship was genial Lacey Goodrich,
purser of the Jap liner. Nippon Maru.
The Nippon got in from San Francisco
about seven O'clock on Christmas night
but Goodrich had expected that she
would arrive in the morning and had
laid his plans according. He expected
to invite half Honolulu to a dinner in
the evening and a dance to follow later
but the sIowness of the steamer caused
this plan to fall through although all
who got within stones throw of the
big liner enjoyed the finest kind of a
treat from the 1arders of the big vessel.
She had no passengers for Honolulu
but did not sail from this port to the
Orient IntiI eleven o'clock yesterday
morning. going out the channel just as
the cable-steamer was pulling up out
side.
Among her passengers was Count f.
Pratt on his way to Hanxow where he
will be Italian consul.
The vessel will spend New Years day
between this port and Yokohama and
arrangements have been made to make
the occasion a lively one.
Although theivessel must have passed
very close TO the cabIe-steamer Silver
town on her voyage to Honolulu she
did not sight the latter vessel.

DAY FIREWORKS
in THE HARB0R
When America Maru Leaves for
San Francisco During
This Forenoon.

About ten o'clock this morning Ho-
nolulu will see an unusual exhibition in
the harbor Purser Roberts of the liner
America Maru promises an exhibition
of day fireworks Just as the steamer is
leaving port. Anything from cats to
elephants can be seen floating in the
air above the harbor if the fireworks
are a success. This was to have been
a Christmas novelty for a celebration
at sea but the Maru- steamer met with
such rough weather that she could not
let them off
The Jap liner arrived in port last
night and Will not get away for San
Francisco before ten o'clock today al
though her definite sailing time will be
arranged this morning. She celebrated
Christmas day in a regal manner while
at sea, Her saloon is a mass of decora-
lions. There are clever japanese paper
flowers in every portion of the cosy din
ing place closely interviewer with many
flags. In the center of the saloon there
was a large Christmas tree composed of
paper novelties and small electric light
bulbs. The decorations remain on view
today.
The Christmas dinner" said a pas
senger, was about three leagues long
and as wide as the Irish sea and I
thinks its depth rivalled the Nero Deep,
so If you have any imagination at all
you can guess about what kind of a
spread it was
The vessel has the, following lay-over
passengers for this port: Miss F. S.
Cozad, Miss Gertrude Cozad, DR.. A. W.
Parsons, DR.. F. S. Tinthoff, K. Wata-
nabe and servant.

YANKEE SHIP BAIT TERED
IN A TYPHOON Off JAPAN
Crew Starving, One Man Dead, and One
Dying When the America Maru
Hove in Sight

David to Captain Ryder, said to be well
known in Honolulu, and at that time
Captain Ryder understood that the ship
was well enough provisioned to make
the voyage to Tacoma In a few days
time they found that there was practi-
eaHy no provisions on board and for
days they had been living on salt beef,
flour, and tea. There was nothing else
in the line of eatabIes on board. One
of the men died from illness thought to
have been brought on by starvation
When fifty days out from Manila and
only about eighty-fve miles off the ia
pan coast a typhoon STRUCK them The
three lower topsaiIs, six feet of the
fore yard arm. the fore braces, mizzen
gallant mast, fore royal yard, and sew
eral other pieces of gear were carried
away. The mainsaiI and mainyard were
also damaged. On the next day efforts
were made to put the ship in some kind
of sailing condition and during this
work one of the men had his ankle
sprained.
With the men all starving and the
vessel in bad way eight days passed
before the Maru steamer hove in sight.
With fresh provisions Captain Ryder
thought he might be able to get his
vessel to Yokohama for repairs.

the plants and leaves the roots ex-
posed to the wind and sun when
the freeze is over the soil snbsides
TO its normal level.
"There is no danger Of this only
on wet, soggy soil which keeps sat.
urated and is therefore greatly sub
jet to heaving when frozen. Even
on this soil planting may be safely
done in dead Of winter provided
care is taken to step directly on
the plant after it is set. This COM
presses the soil around it, prevents
an excess Of water from soaking in
just at that spot and greatly de-
creasing the heaving effects Of Sc
we're cold.
"But there is a better plan than
this whenever it is practioed.
That is to put about fork full Of
coarse manure evenly around and
on the plants. This gives the de.
sired protection Of the soil around
the plants from cold and the fer
tilizing properties are leached out
and washed in where the roots can
at once appropriate them. In fact
this is the best way that stable ma
nure can be applied 10 the straw
berry plant north or south. The
coarse litter after the fertilizing
properties leach out makes an ex-
cellent mulch TO keep the berries
clear Of grit the following spring.
If too much manure has fallen on
the plant it will be necessary TO
remove some Of ii about the time
growth begins in spring and leave
il around and between the plants.
"If manure cannot be had TO
mulch the plants set in dead Of
winter on wet and soggy land, any
coarse litter or straw will answer.
Forest leaves do very well only
that they are more liable to be
blown of by high winds and being
SO much broader they are more apt
to smother the plants. Pine straw
is an ideal mulch; than which
there is nothing better.
"The mulching directions for
winter set plants which we have
ust given is for the north or for
such soil at the south as Is much !
given 10 wetness and 10 heaying in |
he coolest weather. We plant
over one hundred acres every win.
er on ordinary soil without any
protection or any precaution ex.
'ept 10 set the plants properly"
