When He was Rescued He Had
Been on the Open Sea About
Thirty Hours Schooner was
on Her Way up the Coast
When Lookout Saw the
Fellows Signal

Given up by his companions on the
Theta as lost at sea when that schooner
was in collision with a steamer off
Five Fathom Bank, Second Mate
Edward B. Graham was brought into
this port yesterday on the Cohasset, q
four masted schooner, Captain A. @.
Stewart Graham was picked mp Mon
day morning in latitude 38. 80, longi-
tude 70. 10, sitting on bic of wreckage
in half conscious condition.
The lookout on the Cohasset who
sighted Graham, at first Thought 1T
was man in dory. Captain Stew
art bore down on the oastawny and
sent Mate W.. l.. SnodRrass with two
seamen to Graham. The ohBtaway
was taken to the Cohnsset and cared
for. His body from his right hip to
his armpit was black and lie suffered
intense pain. A stateroom was given
to hin, and he was able to sit MP
when the schooner reached here last
night.
Graham said he was on tile q rter
deck of the Theta when the csnsh
came, and he was widely separated
from the rest of the crew. as the part
of the vessel on which he was drifted
off as the unknown steamship backed
away. When he had seen three vessels
pass near him in twenty-four hours
and realized his inability to make
himself noticed his courage left him
and he sank into a stupor.
In the meantime the Theta had been
towed to New York and is laid up at
pier 20, foot of Atlantic avenue,
Brooklyn. She was brought in late
Oh Tues lay night by Captain Parse,
of the Pathfinder, and her cargo of
lumber, which is ESTIMATED to be

protect the salvage rights of the res
cuers.
For some hours before the Theta,
which was on the way from Biuns-
wick, Ga, to New YORK, was struck
on Sunday there had been an all en-
veloping fog, and it was at the height
of this that the schooner was run into
by an unidentified steamer, with the
result that her starboard quarter was
carried away. her stern battered and
her backstays ripped out.
The cries cf Captain George Mars
ters and his crew were unheeded and
the steamer bore away on its course
unmindful of the danger that
threatened the men on the schooner.
AS daylight came the fog lifted and
the crew was taken off and taken to
Whining ton, N o., by the Mohlcan,
of the Clydo line.
The managing owner Of the Theta
is Rodman Pratt. of Choverie. N. 8.
Otners interested are Miller g. Hough-
| ton, of New York City.
The Cohasset is of 965 tonnge and
was huilt at Bath Nc. She was bound
from Trinidad to Boston and only put
in ut this mort to land the mate.

AS reminder to those pronea TO

all night, broke trees, extinguished
electric lights, soaked those persons
whose affairs called them from their

washed away few sidewalks, up
rooted flowers, vegetables and vines,
penetrated roofs which we're not quite

were sparrows, soaked and blown

under the trees near the Central rail-
road depot, favorite roosting place,
hundreds of the dead birds were seen
lying stark upon the ground.

COMPROMISING WITH
THE WA|ALUA STRIKERS

The strike of japanese at Waialua
plantation has not yet been settled, but
the manager Of the plantation is in
conference with a committee of thir-
ty-four delegates from the striking
body and it looks as though settle
ment would be reached some time to-
day. or by Monday at the latest.
There are one thousand of the Japs
on strike, and they have gone into
camp on the beach in front of the plan
tation. They are not inclined to be at
all warlike, since the trouble of Thurs
day night at the pumping station.
These strikers have appointed a COM
mittee Of thirtyfour to handle their
side of the strike, and this committee
on Friday night presented Manager
Goodale with a schedule of grievances
containing thirty-two specifications.
OF these twenty-four have already
been adjusted satisfactorily to all par
ties
The remaining eight points are still
under discussion. and 1t is expected
that an amicable agreement will be
reached. The plantation management
Is inclined to treat the japanese as
fairly as is consistent with the preserv-
alton of the interests Of the stock
holders in the corporation.
l.. l.. McCandless states that stock
holders of Waialua Plantation since
1899 have put in A500,O00 and their in
vestment to-day is worth only about
60 per cent They have never received
a cent of dividends, but in spite of this
the japanese laborers there are de-
manding higher wages because the
price of sugar has gone up. They
claim they are not paid enough and the
plantation is making too much money
and should pass it out among the Ia
borers. Mr.. McCandless believes the
only reasonable thing that should be
done is to turn the whole plantation
over to the Japanese. The stockhold-
ers are not to be considered.

CONFIDENCE

said Lord Chatham, "is a plant
of slow growth" People believe
in things that they see, and in
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes called blind faith is
not faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form foun-
dation for trust. In regard to q
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, "Has it cured 9TH
ers? Have cases like mine been
relieved by itp Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it record above suspic-
ion? If 80, it is worthy of conf
dence; and if l am ever attacked
by any of the maladies for which
it is commended l shall resort
to it in full belief in it's pow
er to help me-" On these lines
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
has won its high reputation a.
mong medical men, and the
people of all civilized countries.
They trust it for the same reason
that they trust in the familiar
laws of nature or in the action
of common things. This effective
remedy is palatable as honey and
contains the nutritive and cura-
tive properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. 1t quickly e.
radicates the poisonous, disease
breeding acids and other toxic
matters from the system; regu-
lates and promotes the normal
action of the gans, gives vigor-
GUS appetite ant digestion, and is
infallible in Prostration-follow-
ing Fevers, ETC., Scrofula, Influ-
enza, Asthma, Wasting Diseases,
Throat and Lung Troubles, etc.
DR.. W. A. Young, of Canada, says:
"Your tasteless preparation of
cod liver OIL has given me uni
formly satisfactory results, my
patients having been of all ages"
1t is a product of the skill and
science of to-day and is success
full after the old style modes of
treatment have been appealed to
in vain. . Sold by all chemists.

HALTER HAS
GONE HOME
he Will Come Back
Again After Xmas
Holidays.
Halter has gone.

Halter has gone.
But stay! Hush! Halter will come
back again.
Charles Halter, Pinkerton detective.
first dawned upon the town of Homo
lulu when it became nolsed about the
streets on the 21st day of October last
that High Sheriff Brown had resigned
his office as a result of the investiga-
ton into police affairs conducted by
Pinkerton detective imported by Gov
ernor Carter, and that Deputy High
Sheriff Chillingworth had followed in
the steps of his superior in office. 1t
was stated at the time, most distinctly,
that there were no charges of wrong
doing against Brown. Hatter's in
vestigation had shown that the affairs
of the police department were loosely
conducted" and the High Sheriff
stepped out.
The sun of Halter has been sailing
pretty high in the blue sky ever since
No charges have developed against
Brown, but Chillingworth has been in
-dicted three times by the Territorial
grand jury, and there are three indict-
ments against ex-detective McDuffie,
also of the old regime, as we'll as some
against the Chinese detective, All On.
But Halter! There are various tales
told about Halter. 1t has been said
that he was a good fellow with the
good fellows of the old police, that he
drank with the drinkers, Sunday or
high day or holiday, gambled with the
gamblers, and did all the things that
a good fellow does. He was reputed to
have as many disguises as Old Sleuth
himself. and you had but to mention
his name in any company, of police
men, to bring a deep hush that would
make itself heard, almost.
Nobody spoke, for fear of Halter
and Halter spoke less than anybody.
He would not even tell his birthplace,
nor where he came from, nor where
he had worked before, and you could
not tell his age from his teeth. They
we're gold, and might have been any
age.
Now, he is gone-but he will return.
He sailed away on the Mongolia. 1t
the possessor of certain family affec-
tions, and that he goes to spend Christ
mas with his own people. Fancy a
family of Hatters! But Halter doesn't
say what he is going for. Halter does
MT say anything.
And he will come back. He didn't
say that either, but all the same, he
will. When? All, that is the point.
When will Halter come back? The
man who can answer that question will
relieve a great and devouring suspense
sitting now in the breasts of several
people. He will come back. That is all
anybody knows-but Halter. But any
passenger bound this way, with gold
teeth, will be subject to grave suspi-
cion from this time forward. 1t may
be Halter in a new disguise, whatever
the improbabilities. Let the quaran-
tine officers look to it.
