lit was not in war alone that he was

he was among virgina's most useful and

made the Spanish authorities fear HIM.
when the Spanish-American war came,
he showed his loyalty to his reunited land
by rendering his services to his govern
ment and going to tho front to carry
his country's flag into Spanish territory
and to lead American soldiers wherever
dangers were the greatest and deadly
missiles flew the thickest.
Soon after tho treaty Of peace he &c
cepted the presidency of the jamestown
Exposition Company, and at once COM
menced to devote his time and energy
to make this exposition worthy of Amer

brought to n close his honorable and
useful life. He did not realize that he
was born so far back as November 10.

since run their cycles, and that he could

Captain Schlemmer had a PRESENT.
ment that he would never reach Homo
lulu said Captain weisbarth of the
LaVinia, yesterday, shaking his head
sadly. "He was very gloomy and did not
know whether he would ever see oahu
again. / am afraid that he is at the
bottom with the Woodbury.. OF
course, the schooner may have sprung
a leak and gone back to Laysan Is
land. That would be about his only
salvation, for he was right up in the
center of the gale. 1 hope he is safe,
but am very much afraid that some
thing has happened to the schooner"
The Lavinias captain paid a call to
Captain Niblack of the Naval Station
tug Iroquois yesterday morning and
talked over the proposition of sending
the Iroquois out after the schooner if
she does not show up by Monday. The
tug is just now having her boilers re-
paired, but it is possible that she may
be sent out if the Woodbury. does not
show up in a week or so. Captain
Weisbarth will call on Captain Niblack
later and discuss the question further.
! The Lavinia's escape from destruc-
ton seems little short of miraculous,
especially when it is known that Weis-
/ barth's little schooner was driven
close to the dangerous Marc and Dow
sett reefs and escaped being wrecked
on either. But there are few island
mariners who know so much about these
waters as Captain Weisbarth, and. as
one man expressed It, water won't
drown that man"

PAWNSHOP

Two men. one from New York and
ahe other from San Francisco. with
abundant capital and plenty OF back
sng. are in Honolulu looking at the
field for the establishment OF a pawn
broking business, and are said to have
already secured quarters for the new
place of business on Hotel street not
far from Union. The premises that IL
n proposed to use are now occupied
nv another mercantile establishment,
nut are to be vacated by the first OF
abe month.
The pawnbrokers have stated to
rlerks in the office of the Territorial
Treasurer that it is their purpose to
take out their license by the first OF
September, and at once begin busi-
ness. They will have the sign OF the
ahree golden balls, and will do business
IN the ordinary way that such enter
prises are legitimately conducted on
the mainland.
A pawnbroker's shop will be some
hing new in Honolulu, but under
proper regulation and in the hands OF
men content to do legitimate busl-
ness will not be a bad departure. In
fact, a pawnbroker, properly regulated
and content with the legitimate pronts
Of his trade, might be something OF
a blessing in a community where there
Is a lot of small poverty. And there
is no question whatever that the es-
Establishment OF such an institution
would be a severe blow to the local
Insurers IL only because a licensed
pawbroker would give something like
the real value upon a pledged jewel,
say diamond. and would be willing
to give the jewel back upon the tender
of the advance, with legal interest.
1t was largely because of the evils
growing out of the system of grinding
usury here that the legislature, at its
last session, passed the act licensing
pawnbrokers. The law, which is Act
30 of the Session Laws of 1905. fixes
license of $50 per year for the privilege
of carrying on pawnbroking business
in the Territory. This pawnbroking
law provides:
THAT the licensee will not charge
or receive at the rate Of more than four
per centum per month for any loan I'M
der twenty dollars, nor at the rate OF
more than two per centum per month
for any loan over twenty dollars nor
more than one hundred dollars, nor at
the rate of more than one per centum
per month for any loan over one hum
bred dollars. nor exact any other gain,
profit or reward by charging commits
sions, discount, storage or other charge
or by compromising interest, or by any
device increasing interest"
The law protects the pledger of any
article in his right of redemption anc
is, in effect, very carefully drawn

broker chance to live-provided ht
