Town of Napoleon.
Thirty years after Charles Dickens
wrote his description of the place
Mark Twain wrote his Gilded Age, in
which the chief comedy character was
Colonel Mulberry Sellers. Having
been asked within a few miles of the
site of the departed Marion City, and
being familiar with it's history and
that of Colonel William Muldrow, it's
founder, it is not strange that he
should have selected it as one of the
striking events in "a gilded age"
Colonel Sellers was so typical of
certain class of Americans that the
character not only made a great hit,
but the name even became synony,
nous with and typical of the charac-
ter. The most exaggerated type OF
the visionary man, it was Colonel
Sellers ambition to build a great
metropolis in the west and he select
ed the settlement of Stones Landing
as the spot, which, under the name
Napoleon, should conquer the COM
mercial world A railroad was to be
built in its vicinity and Colonel Sell

attorney. First, that the act was not
passed by the legislature in conform

been admitted in the answer and that
there was no occasion for an examina-

AN IMPORTANT
WITNESS DEPARTS
CUSTOMS BROKER JOHNSTON
LEAVES ON ALAMEDA FOR NEW
YORK.

H. j. Johnston the Customs broker
was departing passenger this morn
ing on the S. s. Alameda for the MAIN
land. He goes to the mainland on
business connected with the saki APP
peal cases which are to come up in New
York next month.
The sald cases which were appealed
by local importers from the ruling of
the local Customs department, involve
between 100000 and 100000 in duty.
Should the appeals be sustained it
would mean big profit to the Japanese
importers The stuff was classified as
wine. The importers claimed that the
material was beer and took their APP
peals on that ground.
Mr.. Johnston made a special trip to
Japan during the early part of this
year for the purpose of making a care
full study of the methods used in the
manufacture of sald in the Japanese
establishments. His presence is now
demanded in New York for the purpose
of giving testimony before the United
States court regarding his observations
of the manufacture of saki. Mr. john
stOn will testify for the professors and
will endeavor to show that saki is a
beer and not a wine.
There are already other sak cases
before the Board of General Appraisers
at New York but the present case
which is to be begun in New York,
will be independent of those cases. The
present case to be brought in the co<rt
is on behalf of a Honolulu importer.

FROM

The s. $. Alameda departed this
morning from the new Oceanic wharf.

has sailed from the Oceanic wharf and
the departure today seemed to be from
a strange place. 1t was "a strange place.

Oceanic wharf and shed that few peo-

same place on the Water Front. The
old shed formerly ended on the makal
side Of Allen street the new shed ex-
tends over the entire wharf at the foot
of that street The sheds are separated
from the outer edge of the wharf by
latticed gates that are in vogue at
Mainland ports. The structure is in
every way a Metropolitan wharf.
A very large crowd was present at
the departure of the vessel The mem
bers of the James Nell company were
among those departing on the vessel
and their friends attended the sailing
of the Alameda to say aloha

ANOTHER PRESENT

An unsigned resignation, a small

birthday present which some practical
joker sent to Governor Carter on his
birthday The resignato was sup
posed to be that of Territorial trea-

happened to the resignation which
Carter once thought he had from Ke-

is only too suggestive of the condition
of the treasury over which Kepoikai
presides. There was nothing on the
package received by the governor to
indicate who the thoughtful sender
was.

for the sale of seats in connection with
the big boxing contest between Weday

from present prospects every one in

what the sporting public are always
looking for, and very seldom getting,

rather marked them down. 81, 50 and
