Gaelic's smokes.aok Saved.

During the trip of the Gaelic to San
Francisco from Honolulu the bravery of
the Chinese crew was tested during a
big storm. The test probably saved the
vessel from disaster. When the storm
was at it's height the funnel guys car
ried away, swapping off at the smoke
stack end. The big funnel was almost
red hot and in great danger of topping
over, so heavy was the rolling of the
liner. Captain Finch gave orders to
rig new guys, and, without a moments
hesitation, the celestial mariners climb
ed the sides of the whirling. roasting
funnel, which all hands expected to see
go overheard at any minute, made fast
the ends of new braces and rescued the
big cylinder.

All the first class inspectors wore big

visor. On the front part of the hat
was the gold-embroidered insignia of
the Customs Service. Just how the
men came to acquire the privilege of
wearing the new kind of hat does not
seem apparent to them, but neyerthe-
less they expressed their appreciation of
the order of Collector Stackable which
went into effect that day

DO we like the hats? Well, 1 should
say so. The other hats no doubt were
like those worn in the mainland, but
they are mighty uncomfortable for day
time use. When standing on the Naval

Orient Il was here last in 1880. That,
you know, was In the days of the mon

Americanism. then. That tendency has
worked out to it's logical conclusion
now You have an American city here
and with the development of the rich
natural resources of the islands, and
the opening of the broad pathway of
Americanism in the commerce of Asia,
this should become a most important
sea port. OF course it will not all come
at once. 1t may, to some, seem slow
in coming. But it is as certain as the
sun rises
The climate here, of course, is most
delightful. I can tell you little of that
that you do not know, perhaps, bet
ter than 1 do. There is softness in
the air that is peculiar to it, and pecu-
liarly charming. But it is the develop
ment of the city, and its aggressive
that strike the visitor most
forcibly, particularly, if he be one of
those who saw the place in the old,
sleepy days. Your new buildings are

stand that no criminal proceedings
would be begun against him in the
meantime. 1 regarded this under
standing as binding on me, and had
no intimation of the defalcation at that
time except through Mr.. Cooper. Be

of September "a, Mr.. Cooper informed
me that Mr.. Wright had not kept his
directing High Sheriff Brown to take
every possible means to search the town
and the steamship Alameda, which
was advertised to leave for the Coast
at noon. Mr.. Cooper said that he had
notified High Sheriff Brown. The High
Sheriff and other officers made diligent
search through the Alameda for
Wright, two of the officers going out of
the harbor to continue the search and
returning in the pilot boat. Wright
could not have escaped the search
which was made without assistance of
an extraordinary character. An officer
with extradition papers was sent to
the Coast by the next steamer, and If
Wright had been detained IN quaran-
tine, as was expected, he would have
been returned. He has escaped to parts
unknown. While I was very anxious
to secure him, and would not have hes

Waikiki in my time, used to be away
out in the country, and it was a matter
of some little difficulty to reach the
place.
Another thing 1 have noticed is the
present tendency to break away from
the one industry idea. OF course sugar
is good thing. 1t is the biggest thing
in the islands. Bus it viii be the bet
ter for the country to have develop
ment of by-products to go with it. Some
day the beet sugar industry on the

look into the question of Chinese Ia

only incidental. 1 have come away for
a rest. / will be about eight days in
Honolulu, two weeks in japan, a like
time in China, and a week in Manila,

first of May.
by the way, you have two men in
the Custom House here who were in
the service in San Francisco. They
came down because experts were want
ed in certain lines, but 1 think 1t is
good scheme to exchange men once in
awhile, so as to broaden their ideas,
and increase their value to the service.
And in connection with the customs
service, the cable has worked some
changes, too. 1t used to be the custom
of the department, before the cable was
laid, to instruct me by wire to instruct
the customs authorities here on certain |

pay that price to get into touch with

HOW TO STOP A COUGH.

A simple but effective remedy is the
following:
Breathing through the nostrils. inha!e
a full breath as slowly as is possible
without causing fatigue. Expel the
breath in the same manner, and repeat
the operation ten times. This will stop
the coughing for about a quarter of
an hour. Take a dose of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy during this IulI
and the medicine will have a better
opportunity to act and will speedily
effect a complete cure. It always cures
and cures quickly. Benson, Smith& Co,
