That the waterfront bootblacks have
been plying thriving trade in whisky

servations of several officers on the
Every time a big steamer comes into
port, and especially when one of the
troopships is sighted, a throng of boys
is always at the dock. There are
newsboys. and leiboys, souvenir boys
and bootblacks. 1t is this latter class
that is suspected of furnishing liquor
to the soldiers on board the army
transports and the bluejackets aboard
the navy transports. These little boot
blacks all carry boxes slung on their
backs. In these boxes are brushes,
cloths. backing and-so it is said-often
a flask of whisky for the thirsty SOL
diers who cannot leave the ship.
Another charge made against the
boys is that they are stealing copper
from the piles at the Brewer wharf

the tools Of Cinnamon and others who
pay them a small price for the copper
and in turn sell it for high price to
others.
GERMAN SHIPS GOOD TRIP.
The German ship Marie Hackfeld,
Captain CRUDE, arrived from Hamburg
yesterday noon after q voyage of 119
days, an excellent run. The Marie
Hackfeld has reputation for making
good time, having come out once in
Jos days. The ship was in the best of
condition when she came alongside the
Sorenson wharf. Her deck was as
clean as that of man-of- war, and she
bore no marks of her long sea voyage.
Fine weather was experienced on most
Of the trip, although the usual stormy
weather was run into off Cape Horn.
No ships bound to or from Hawaii
were sighted. The Marie Hackfeld
has 1900 tons of general cargo, consign-
ed to H. Hackfeld & Co.. Ltd. She
will probably remain at the Sorenson
wharf until the Mongolia has come
and gone, as the Hackfeld dock will
be pretty well taken up with her cargo
tomorrow and the Coptic will be using
that dock Wednesday.

Two island steamers departed yes

FELL OFF WALL.
Considerable excitement was created
along the waterfront yesterday after
noon by an accident to one of the
japanese laborers engaged in tearing
down the old Cooke building on the
Queen street esplanade. opposite the
Irmgard wharf. The japanese was on
top Of the walls, which are two stories
high in others. He was engaged in
prying the stones apart with pick and
letting them tumble to the ground be-
low. Suddenly the wall gave way and
the man was hurled with the debris
to the ground. When the cloud of dust
had rolled away his companions rush
ed to the rescue, expecting to find the
mangled remains under the heap of
building stone. To their surprise they
found their comrade crawling out of
the ruin, bruised and with a badly in
jured shoulder, but otherwise unhurt.
A hurry call was sent in for the patrol
wagon and the injured man was re-
moved to the Japanese hospital, where
his bruises were dressed.
WAS LAWToN OVERLOADED?
There is considerable talk about the
crowded condition of the navy trans
port Lawton which sailed from Homo
lulu Sunday morning for San Francis
co. It is said that the ship is only
supposed to carry GOT persons and that
she has boats and life RATS for only
that number. Yet she carried 500 per-
sons on this trip. And there is good
chance that she will have an even seven
hundred by the time she reaches San
Francisco. Yes, we are expecting an
addition to our company and to the
family of one of the government off,
GERS at Guam" said Executive Officer
Leonard, before the transport sailed.
"And we have already requested that
it be named Lawton'-if it is boy"
SAN FRANCISCO OBSOLETE.
The Board on Construction of the
Navy has recommended that no further
work be done in the way of repairing
the cruiser San Francisco, on the
ground that the ship is obsolete and
not worth spending much money on.
A minority report was made by Chief
Naval Constructor Caps. who called
attention to the fact that in his opinion
the ship is not obsolete and that in
view of the fact that four months re-
pa ir work has already been done on the
vessel, the best interests of the Gov
eminent would not be subserved by
disseminating work at this point. The
Acting Secretary of the Navy has di-
rected that only sufficient work be done

It is well known that the German
Emperor has fine taste i'm matters
of art He has recently given DEM
enstration of his own imperial will and
severe judgment i'm such matters.
Sometime ago the German Protestant
community of Moscow solicited his aid
In building a church, to be named the
Temple of SIS. Peter and Paul. His
majesty readily undertook to be re-
sponsible for all the lamps and can
delabra to be used. and asked for
their designs for these things, as well
as for a plan of the interior. On eX-
animation, the Kaiser found the de-
signs SO far out of harmony with lis
own taste and with the style Of the
building that he at once set to work

the whole bad been made to his in.Ld,
he entrusted them to The s1oLitect

Pastoral scenes are proyerbial for
their quiet beauty and the spirit OF
contentment which tkey breed, but you
must go to Holland to find the highest
type of this idea.
In Holland cows are as much part
of the family as the Irishman's pig,
for one member of the family always
sleeps in the stable to watch, and often
the place is made sort of family
sitting room.
The COW stable is generally large
building, paved with brick, upon
which the COW lies, straw being scarce.
There is brick paved passage down
the centre. at one end Of which is a
fireplace, and the windows are COW
cred with white curtains as dainty as
those used in the house proper.
Sometimes the entire family will
gather in the stable in the evenings,
enjoying the warmth of the fire and
exchanging the talk of the day,
while the cattle, always placed with
their heads facing the central passage,
chew their cuds and seem to thorough

Five thousand dollars is about the
average cost of a dinner in the Turk
ish Sultan's palace. The meal COM
prises fifty or more dishes daily and
the Sultan generally partakes of from
five to six. Every dish, before it
reaches the royal table, is tasted in
the kitchen by the royal Grand vizier
to guard against poison. It is then
sealed and taken to the Sultan. The
vast cost of these repasts comes from
the fact that the guests and retainers
who dine at the Sultan's expense
daily number several thousand.
