TO NAVIGATE
IN THE LAGOONS
How Herman VIII Get About in
Tight Corner of South
Seas.

The fact that the mysterious schoon-
er Herman carries a steam launch
which will be used to tow the small
vessel in and out of lagoons in the
South Sea islands in the hunt for treas
ure seems to indicate that Captain
Brown knows that an island of certain
sort of formation in the South Seas
is the one which contains the treasure
but is not exactly certain which island
it is and for that reason will have to
visit many small islands before he finds
the right one.
Everything is not as harmonious
aboard the vessel as might be expected.
The sailors say that they are only get
ting the usual rate of sea wages and
the usual sea food and that their arti-
cles do not provide for any extra pay if
the treasure is found. One may say:
What does Captain Brown want of
pick axes, shovels, trucks, steam
launch, and those things if he isn't
looking for treasure. We've got enough
shovels down there to put half hum
bred men to work digging SO 1t must
mean that the island that the treasure
is supposed to be pu is inhabited and
that Captain Brown will get the ma
tives to assist him in digging for it.
Arms? Yes, we've got small
arsenal aboard and I reckon if it come
to a case of have to- we could fight
a little bit" continued the sailor, but
/ think that there won't be much trou-
Bile as Captain Brown knows the ropes
pretty WE'LL
What kind of man is Captain
Brown? Well, he amt so bad, some
people think he's bit of a crank but
tell you all the matter with him is
that he is nervous and impatient TO get
at the treasure. He doesn't do much
of the work of running the schooner
he leaves it to the mate.

Admiral Merry Among the Many
Passengers Of the
Alameda.

As Rear-Admiral j. F. Merry, u. S.
N, walked up the gang plank of the
steamer Alameda shortly before noon
yesterday he was rendered a great ova-
ton. The Admiral is returning to the
Coast. He was loaded down with leis
and as he stood half way up the plank
and bowed, the Territorial band played
AUD Lang Syne." Many army officers
and all officers and nearly all the men
of the Naval Station were on the
Oceanic wharf to watch his departure.
The Admiral goes to report to the Navy
Department in Washington, where he
will receive leave and then go to his
country place in Maine for rest.
The Alameda left for the Coast short
ly after noon having a very large
number of passengers and with an en-
ormous crowd filling the wharf to
watch her departure.
She carried the following passengers:

A CURSE ON
HONOLULU CITY
Spanish Gypsy Utters One When
Leaving on Alameda
Yesterday.

Carrying, it is said, big bags of gold.
party of Spanish gypsies, who have
been in Honolulu begging and fortune
telling for several weeks, left for the
Coast by the Oceanic liner Alameda
yesterday. The gypsies left Honolulu
because OF a promise they made in
court recently to leave the country if
they were not prosecuted.
They took steerage tickets, paying
for them $50 each, and when they lean
ed over the rail of the lei bedecked
steamer yesterday they presented a
very unkempt and dirty appearance.
One of the gypsy women was accost-
ed on the wharf by a representative of
the Advertiser. She said:
You write for paper? Alright Me
| tell you. You put it in paper. In six
months me say what you call Bowl
punch will be all fire. He'll will break
loose. All you dirty white people, you
yellow and you brown devils will be
buried by many big mountains which
jump up from sea. Then big wave
come and sweep all way. Oh, me tell
you. Me hot stuff on speak English.
Me can talk. You unjust, you poor,
dirty people will all be buried, Caram
ba! Oh! Me know it. Stars, Moon and
| Sun and voice of gods all say it. You
tell all peoples that. Some few good
peoples can sail away"
You don't like Honolulu then, re-
| marked the reporter.
go on Me like it, You ask me
like the devil. Me say no. You ask
me like Honolulu. Me say no. Allie
same. You comprend me?"
But don't you think our city a beau
tiful one?"
! "Oh. me laugh. Yes Palama-booti-
ful-Plenty fine boolevards. Yes, yes,
hot stuff. And Kakaako a fine place
too. But all be wiped by big. hot stuff
/ volcano.
| "Oh, yes, Havii--a fine countree, a
! fine countree-what you call a garden
| of the gods-a fine countree-a fine
countree.''
Rising to her full height. her head
| thrown back upon her shoulders, a
hand on one hip, and with her eyes
sparkling and rolling about. the sar-
casm of the gypsy was of kind that
/ would remind one of the gentle irony
of the times of Nell Gwyne and King
! Charles IL
! 1t is safe to say that this particular
, lot of gypsies will not return to Ho-
nolulu.

Fine Levied Yesterday.

Collector Stackable yesterday levied
a fine of 800 on Captain Brown of the
treasure schooner Herman for not hav-
ing a certified copy of the vessels
manifest from San Francisco. Captain
Brown nov stoutly maintains that it is
not necessary to have such a document
but would be unable to leave this port
without paying the fine.
g. s. City of Psk,ng
The steamer City of Peking, which
broke her shaft and had to be towed
to Jap port. may be expected here
anytime as the shaft could be replaced
easily as soon as the steamer reached
a dry dock. She had an extra shaft
on board. She had been scheduled to
arrive here last Sunday.

DEENER'S SENTENCE.

In passing the usual sentence
OF the law upon R. S. Deener on
Saturday, the 18th, Judge Moose
took occasion to speak very
plainly and forcefully concerning
Deener's offense. The Judges
language was as follows:
LAS your case is somewhat
unusual it may not be improper
for me to say a few things about
it. The crime itself, to which
you plead guilty, is not unusual
Just common forgery-but
being committed by a man Of
your prominence, and one in
whom men had so much conf
dence, it shook society in this
part Of the state to its foundations.
You occupied an enviable
position in this community; you
were the husband of a lovely
woman who was worthy to be
the companion of the best and
wisest of men. Ycu had a wide
circle Of friends who admired
and loved and trusted you; you
were a preacher Of righteousness
whose reputation for eloquence
and devotion to the cause was
as extensive as the limits Of the
state itself, although you were
a very young man. These are
the influences that usually keep a
man IN the path Of rectitude.
When you fell men were
stunned and bewildered by the
shock, and many refused for
time to believe you had really
blackened your soul with crime,
and some even now are hardly
willing to hold you responiole for
your conduct, but are inclined to
attribute it to some evil influence
which temporarily controlled you.
But to most men it seemed as
if you had stolen the livery OF
heaven to serve the devil in"
7 do not sit in judgment on
your conscience. Most men are
weak at some point-the best
man is not wholly good, and the
worst is not wholly bad. | only
Judge your offense by its effect
on society, and judging by that
standard, it could hardly have
have been greater.
For the innocent ones who have
been with you and suffered with
you during the year you have
been fugitive. every one has
the tenderest sympathy. | should
like to believe that you would
reward their devotion by living
an upright and honorable life
during the remainder of your
DAYS. You can still do that and
all good men will help you do it. p"
,-Batesville Bee.

How Ancients Squared the Circle.

The rule given by Ahmes requires
that the diameter of a circle shall be
shortened by one-ninth and a square
erected upon this shortened line. The
area of such a square approximates
the area of the circle, but. Of cours,
is not exact and is not ever as close a
result as that at which other geometri-
clans have arrived.
The Babyfonians. who were also
great mathematicians, had a solution,
to which a reference in the Talmud has
been traced. The Babylonian method,
however, was not a quadrature, but q
rectification of the circumference.
