Many a woman is quite content to
have her books, pictures and even her
husband chosen for her. but when it
comes to the selection of a gown. even
such a one rises up and asserts her
self. Lady Curzon is an example Of
just the opposite. Recipient OF a verit-
able wonder gown-a present with the
choosing of which she had naught to
do. she has found double pleasure in
It. 1t has satisfied her exacting fancy
to the full, and has caused a stir in
blase London. 1t was sent to her by an
Indian rajah and is composed of Is. 600
wing cases of Indian beetles. They are
sewn upon a silken robe, and lend a
shimmering iridescence to the flowing
folds of the garment. No wonder she
describes il as a dream. for its coloring
and texture is almost as elusive as the
fabric that dreams are made of. Near
" every woman who has beheld the
marvel has broken the commandment
against covetousness, and though many
have tried to duplicate it their efforts
have been in vain. Both because of
the rarity of the wings and of the diff
Guilty of affixing them. such a gown
can only be fashioned by years Of

The transformation of old Long

the razing Of the livery buildings.
The old bath houses fronting the beach
proper viii next be removed and then
the grounds will be laid out according
to Mr.. Young's plan to make them
ready for such buildings as may be re-
CURED to make it one of the most pop

There IS an eyesore between the
Long Branch and Hawaiian Annex
properties. This is the sluggish stream
which is half the time blocked up by
sand accumulations on the shore, caus-
ing 1T to become stagnant and to give
off an offensive odOr. When this water
empties into the ocean bathers do not
get the cleanest of baths when en-
countering the flow therefrom. The
suggestion has been made to divert
this stream from the rear of Ainahau

DIDN'T WANT ANY
OLD AMERICAN FLAG

There was one very patriotic little
Japanese girl at the celebration of the
naval victory held Saturday Afternoon
| at Aala Park. This celebration was a
sort of aftermath to Friday night Is
| big affair, but there We're a couple of
thousand Japanese assembled in the
park yesterday afternoon to watch the
athletic contest and day fireworks. In
the middle of the program there was a
fancy dance. This was where the lit
tie japanese patriot shone. Six fair lit
tie daughters of Dai Nippon, of ages
from ten to fourteen, and CARRIED in
the gayest of gay kimonos, stood forth
on the platform Behind them a dozen
more, similarly gowned, sat on the
floor and produced music on various
japanese instruments.
Now it had been planned, out of
courtesy to the country in which the
celebration was taking place, that
three of the six little dancers should
carry miniature flags emblazoned with
the Stars and Stripes, while the other
three should bear the sunburst of Dai
Nippon. 1t fell to the lot of our little
patriot to bear the American flag.
When it was placed in her hands she
handed it back, saying, "No, | want
japanese flag Fancy a little Ameri
can girl celebrating Dewey's victory
in Toxic with japanese ensign in
stead of Old Glory! Long and loud
were the little japanese girls pro-
tests, but after much expostulation
from her father she gave in and, with
Just faint suspicion of tear in the
corner of her eye, she danced and sang
in honor of Togo and the brave men of
Japan with an American flag thrust
in the folds of her kimono.
The dance of the children was very
beautiful, being something between d
dance and a delsarte drill. Fans and
flags were waved in unison and song
full of ''Banzais was sung, all to
the accompaniment of the queer, half
barbaric music Besides this feature
there were wrestling and single-stlck
exercises by the score and prizes We're
distributed literally. In one of the en-
closures a japanese was pulling oil
wrestling matches between small boys
of all nationalities. One little color
ed urchin held his own against all
corners for some time and at last was
challenged by a japanese lad, who had
one hand badly crushed and in band
ages The colored boy asked whether
he should use one hand, but the Jap
said, "You two, me one," and they
went at it. The japanese boy proved
that he had enough jiu-jitsu in one
hand to do the trick by throwing his
opponent two out of three times. This
brought out mighty chorus of "Ban-
zais' During the afternoon beauti-
full day fireworks We're discharged,
showing balloons, floating figures and
flags.

TROUBLE OVER A
HONOLULU JAP

| SAN FRANCISCO, May EFT ma!
cost the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany something for the treatment &C
corded U. Hara, japanese, by Chie1
officer Andrew Dixon of the liner Mon
golia. Hara has, in fact, according tC
some authorities, the best case that has
developed for long time, and he seems
disposed to make the most of it,
When the Mongolia was at Homo
lulu week ago a search of the
steamer was made for japanese stow
Always, and seven out of the eight
known to be aboard We're routed out
and transferred to the Coptic, bound
back to the land of the chrysanthemum.
The eighth man could not be found,
although every nook and Granny of
the big vessel was gone over. When
the officers had finished the search, a
Japanese was seen to jump over
board and strike out for the shore.
The Mongolia was at that moment
getting under way for the trip to this
city. The Jap was Immediately picked
up by a skiff from pilot boat and
returned to the Mongolia. AS the fell
low landed on deck, drenched and
shivering. Chief Officer Dixon, eXas-
perated in consequence of the long
search for the stowaway, and believing
that this man was the fellow wanted,
met him with a blow. The assault
was witnessed by many of the passen-
gers who did not hesitate to voice their
displeasure and make comments re-
garding the alleged brutality of the
mate. The Japanese was then placed
in irons and kept on deck for some
time before being sent to a room and
given dry clothing.
Some hours later. or when the Mon
golia was far at sea, the real stow
away appeared and the officers of the
Mongolia realized that they had made
a mistake. 1t developed then that the
fellow taken from the water and put
in irons was an innocent victim. He
was a plantation hand, who had gone
aboard the Mongolia to chat with his
countrymen. and upon discovering that
the vessel was under way, had jumped
overheard with the intention of return
ing to shore. Coincident with this dis
covery, different reatment was melted
out to Hara. He was provided with
good clothing and released from con-
fnement, and was permitted to pay
his fare TO this city, for he had de-
cided en- route to forsake Honolulu and
look for employment here. He speaks
English. and he confirmed the story of
the assault by Mate Dixon.
Dixon denies having struck the man
with his fist, declaring that he only
slapped him to hurry him up as he
came aboard and save further deten-
ton of the steamer. Dixon is upheld
by some of the passengers, who say
that the assault on the japanese was
not particularly severe. But the fell
low thinks he has pretty good case
against the Pacific Mail Company for
abduction, assault, humiliation and
few other things

VIEW OF HAR

Captain Dabel of the schooner Alo
ha, now in port, brings an interesting
story of a sensational encounter be
tween the French schooner La Belle
France and a gigantic xiphioid or mon
ster swordfsh. The occurrence took
of Papeete, the capital of the French
colony of Tahiti. La Belle France was
beating into rapeete harbor against a
heavy wind and tide, having been OH
| the group for cOcoanuts and copra, to
| be shipped to San Francisco on the
Oceanic liner Mariposa. The entrance
to the harbor is narrow, running be-
tween two dangerous reefs. Just as
the schooner was off the mouth of the
channel there was a grinding crash
that almost threw those on deck off
their feet. The first thought of Cap
tain Dobre was that La Belle France
had struck and orders were given to
lower boat, while signal of dis
tress was made.
No sooner had these orders been Civ
en- than the vessel began to move
through the water as if propelled by
some unseen force. This lasted but
for a moment, however, and then the
noise and motion ceased. 1t was
thought that the schooner had struck
an uncharted hummock of coral and
slid off into deep water. But there was
a big surprise waiting for the captain
and crew. The mate started below to
see whether any damage had been
done to the ship, and descending the
companionway ladder in the dark he
suddenly stepped off into water above
his knees. Stumbling around in the
blackness of the hold, he fell upon
something sharp. Yelling to the cap
tain for a light, he held on to the OBJ
iect and when a lantern was brought
it was discovered to be sharp ivory
blade protruding from the bottom of
the schooner.
Signals of distress were made and (.
tug got La Belle France into the gov
eminent drydOck before she went
down. When the water had been pump
ed out the sword of a monster sword
fish was discovered sticking into the
bottom of the schooner, amidships and
about two feet to port of the keel. The
sword had evidently broken off at the
snout of the fish, as shreds of flesh
were still attached to it. What was
most wonderful was the penetrating
power of the sword 1t had gone
through a two-inch planking covered
with copper, a two-inch false bottom,
an inch floor planking and two
inch boards which were lying on the
deck where the sword penetrated. The
shock of the impact must have been
terrific for the fish and probably was
fatal although the body was not
washed ashore. Local savants who ex-
amined the sword We're of the opinion
that it belonged to a fish of larger size
than anything yet recorded. They are
often found to a length of fifteen feet,
but the learned men of Tahiti are or
the opinion that this one must have
been at least twenty, if not twenty
FIVE, feet long.
