MRS, MORSE GETS $1,000 ANNUALLY
The Mutual Life Insurance Company
Will Pay Her That Amount.

Henry G. Morse who died Of apo
plexy in the New York Office Of ]. ?.
Morgan & Co., a few weeks ago, was
apparently in excellent health, and his
death was a great shock to all who
knew him. At the time of his death,
Mr~-Morse was president OF the New
York Shipbuilding Co, and he had pre-
viously been president of the Edge
Moor bridge works and the Harlan &
Hollingsworth CO. of Wilmington.
In the following letter Mrs. Morse
describes what part of the estate she
thinks produces the surest income:
Philadelphia, Pa. June 26, 1903.
Mr.. Herbert n. Fell Manager,
The Mutual Life Insurance Company
Of New York Wilmington, Del.
Dear Sir: am in receipt Of annuity
contract No. 9,4S6, together with check
for the first payment in settlement Of
Policy No. $50, 2S9 on the continuous in
stalment plan, which was issued to Mr..
Morse through you in March. 1895, and
wish to express my appreciation Of
this form OF policy. Ny understanding
is that 1 will receive $500 each year
during the remainder of my life, and If
should not live until the receipt OF 20
such annual instalments, amounting to
100000, the remainder viii be paid to
my heirs. OF course what I particu-
larly like about this contract is that no
matter how long 1 live there win be
paid me on the 25th Of June each year
81, 500.
Believing that no investment in Mr..
Morse's estate guarantees such a sure
income as this policy, take great pleas
ure in giving it my unqualified endorse
ment.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
KINAU BOAT
is CAPSIZED

The capsizing of boat at Makena,
Maui, at o'clock yesterday morning
delayed the vessel four or five hours,
the steamer arriving at Honolulu at
4:40 D. m. yesterday.
The boat had been discharging
freight at the landing and on the re-
turn to the steamer, shot out OF the
cove just in time to encounter a Dig
roller which threw the boat around
despite the efforts of the rowers, and
in an instant it had been overturned
and the sailors were struggling in the
water. The rough seas carried the boat
ashore upon the rocks, but the damage
was slight. The sailors swan ashore.
Owing to the darkness the boat could
not be recovered. The Kinau remain
ed off port until daylight when the boat
was found and taken to the steamer.
The Kinau met with rough weather
all along the Kawaihae coast and in
the Maui channel. She stopped at ka-
unakakai on the way back.
Admiral Beckley reports that his solf
had written him that MokuaweoWeo
was still burning.
