Many visitors along the waterfront,
and especially those using the row
boats at the boat landing, have no
ticed an old, worn, broken and
weatherbeaten wooden ships figure
head placed on a projecting pulley
beam at the sea front end of the Allen
e. Robinson warehouse. At first glance
the figure-head presents a. ludicrous
picture, for upon the head has been
nailed an old derby hat, entirely out of
joint and time with the figurehead,
which wears carved clothing of the
kind prevailing in the latter part of the
eighteenth century. From between the
wooden lips of this odd statue, once the
proud monument of a fine British ships
prov, projects a cheap corn-cob pipe,
placed there by waterfront wag. But
a closer view shows that the f1gure-head
must possess history. No figure-head
of this type has adorned a ship of the
nineteenth century. It belonged to the
century when the United States was
young. when George Washington was
the President, and the Hawaiian Is
lands little known, except that some
years before Captain Cook had been
slain on one of them.
The figurehead wears a long cape,
caught over the breast with a buckle.

exposure to the elements during its
long stay on the pulley beam in a way
to indicate that the wood was Of the
best.
The ship Alderman Wood was named
after it's owner, who was a London
alderman in the latter part of the
eighteenth century, and Mark Robinson
is of the opinion that he also became
Lord Mayor of London. The wooden
statue evidently shows the owner in
his mantle of office, either as alderman
or Lord Mayor.
The old warehouse, too, has history.
1t is one of the oldest in Honolulu, and
the loft was considered very large in
the days when it was built and Homo
lulu was in its infancy. It was a sail
loft and used for general ship chandler
work.
When Admiral Thomas, the British
naval officer, restored the Hawaiian
Kingdom its independence and flag in
July, 1S43, having been unlawfully de-
prived of both by the British some time
celebrate the event, and the sail loft of
the Robinson warehouse was the place
where the ball was given. It was a
grand affair, attended by the elite of
the city, including royal personages.
The old figure-head was then in posi-
ton. The doors Immediately below the
beam and figure-head, as shown in the
open out from this old
time ball room, now used as storage
loft.

LA PALOMA ASHORE
ON WAIPIO BEACH

The pretty little yacht La Paloma
was yesterday reported high on the
mud at Waipio. At last reports the
vessel was not damaged badly, and it
is probable that she will be foated
without great deal of trouble.
The yacht has been moored for some
time past in front of the residence of
her owner, Clarence Macfarlane, and
it was thought that she lay in a Sc
cure place. The high wind of Friday
night caught her, however, dragged her
from her moorings, and she was swept
across the bay onto Waipio, well to-
ward the Eva shore. Yesterday morn
ing at low tide she lay high and dry
on the mud, and number of yachts
men went up to Pearl City to help get
her afioat.
La Paloma was built for the Ban
nings, of Southern California, and at
one time was the finest and fastest
yacht in the California fleet. She is
the largest pleasure craft in these
waters, and has lost nothing of the
speed that put her at the head Of her
class on the coast.
Mr.. w. l.. Whitney's Opal is also
ashore at Waipio, having been blown
on the beach last Saturday night, and
that gentleman has gone to Pearl Har-
Dor to see whether she can be rescued

Some time in the 20's the British ship
Alderman Wood was wrecked on the
Island of Molokai. The news was
brought to Honolulu and James Rob-
inson, father of Mark P. Robinson, then
head of the firm of James Robinson &
Co., ship chambers and carpenters,
went to Molokai to save what he could
of the ship. She was filled with beau
tiful mirrors, and was in those days
reekoned a magnificent type of the mer-
chant ships built by the British. The
captain made a present of the figure
head to Mr.. Robinson and he brought
it to Honolulu. When the new ware
house was built in the beginning of the
sos, below what is now Queen street,
Mr.. Robinson raised the figure-head
up and placed it on the pulley beam as
pedestal, and there it has remained
through all the vicissitudes of the ele-
ments for nearly three quarters of a
century. Often a workman is sent up
on the building with putty, nails and
pieces of wood to repair the figure-head
AT present a portion of the right knee
has gone, and the features are gradu-
ally becoming obliterated. The wooden
statue, however, has withstood the

The four masted American schooner

Every sail on the vessel was split. The
Eldorado was sixty-eight days from
Newcastle, New South Wales, and had
her hold full of coal.
I'VE met with our mishap in a
strong wind off Tahiti" said Captain
Smith, "but we had been having head
winds and a rough sea all the voyage
before that, and four days outside Ho-
nolulu we ran into something that
was about as close to a hurricane as
you want to strike. No, it was not
really in a gale that the rudder post
twisted. 1t was only a strong wind.
But it did the business. After that
we steered with the sails and with
drags and tackle and any way that we
could, but the lack of the rudder made
If hard to handle her, and the forward
gaff was broken off and every sail
split. We made good run, consider
ing how badly she was crippled. But
it was a rough passage, every mile
of the way"
The Eldorado locked at one of the
railway wharves, and will unload her
cargo there.

COAL STRIKE COMMISSIONERS REPORT.

The report of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission has been made public and will, in many respects be regarded as signal victory for the miners. They are awarded 10 per cent. increase in wages from April, 1902, to March 3l, 1906. This applies to all paid regular wages and nine hour men are to be paid on 10 hour basis. Moreover, provision is made for an increase of wages by per cent. for each cent increase in the whole sale price of coal over $4.5O per ton, for pea size. All disputes are to be settled by "joint conciliatory com mission." to consist of six and to have continuous existence in each district. Three members of this com mittee are to be appointed by the op- orators and three by majority of the miners, so that in those sections where the union men are in majority, union men will be selected. When du agreement CduuOt De rtdcutu Dy this evenly divided commission seventh shall be called in and he will cast the deciding vote. Such check weighers, etc., as miners may desire shall be appointed by them and recog- nized by the operators but shall be paid by the miners. The average price of coal is to be decided by a commissioner appointed by circuit judge and paid by the operators. All awards stand until March 31, 1906. Among the general recommendations made by the commission are, one urg- ing the abolition of the custom of em- ploying special police who, it is be- lieved, tend to make trouble, one urging that existing laws against the employment of child laborbe enforced. and statement that the Commission did not feel at liberty to recommend compulsory arbitration.

RAISE THE FLAG.

Governor BrOdie has approved and signed meritorious measure which was lately passed by the legislature. The measure is known as the flag bill and provides for the display of the United States flag on all school houses, and tends to promote patriotic exer- cises in the schools. The school au- thorities will establish rules and regu- lations for the custody and display of the flag, and when the weather will not permit of the raising of the same, it shall be displayed in conspicuous place inside of the school room. The territorial superintendent will prepare a program for the use of the public providing for the proper salute of the flag at the opening of each day and such other patriotic exercises as he shall see fit. He will also make spec- ial provision for the observance of the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington, memorial day, flag day and such other holidays of like character. The super intendent is authorized to provide for the expenses incurred in the encour- agement of such patriotic exercises and the display of the flag. Each country will be entitled to an appor- tionment of the school fund to carry into effect the provisions of the act. Tucson Post.
