1t IS rot true that I come no more.
Knocking once, ! do not md you in;
For every day I am at your door
To meet and greet yOu glad again.
Wall not fer me as passed away
Nor think your chances on the wane:
But trust ard wait the coming day.
Then strive again With might and main.
Think not Of hopes that have fed.
Or the JOYS that might have been;
They are numbered with the dead.
And cannot help you win.
Deep in gloom you sign and weep.
You'll not drive me from your door;
Reused from yCuT dclusive sleep.

Tel the story Of winning the fight
And smile at the lost opportunity.

TEXAN FIRE DYING OUT.

At midnight last night the heat In
the compartment of the steamship
Texan containing burning lime had
moderate from 240 degrees to 100, and
by this morning It is believed that the
'fire" will have about played itself
out. If the slaked lime is sufficiently
cool at noon today a survey of the
damage will be made, and the captain
will then determine when and how the
damaged stun is to be removed.
Yesterday forenoon the pumping or
water into the lime compartment was
stopped, and the matches were batten-
ed down. Later, steam was forced
into the compartment and this was
continued until the middle OF the after
noon, when water was again pumped
in. At 10 o'clock last night the engines
were once more stopped and only
steam forced in. Chief Thurston OF the
Fire Department was on duty during
the day, and the assistant chief as,
sumed command again last night.
Two holes were cut through the
bulkhe9d between compartment 3.
where the fire began and compartment
2, and water was directed from No. 2
INTO NO. All AFTERNOON anu tNeHiIb'
Lime is piled up in No. 3 against this
buikhead and about 800 barrels OF lime
are in this place. This Is In addition
to the thousand barrels which were
first tackled. The bulkhead was very
hot last night, but Mr.. Deering
thought 1t would be fairly cool this
morning.
a quantity OF lime stored In COM
partment No. was hoisted out yes
terday afternoon. as 1t was beginning
to get hot. Steam had penetrated In
to this compartment and the moisture
it was feared. might start the lime tc
shaking, and add to the difficulties on
the freighter.
j. r. Crawley, chemist OF the Hawai-
isn Fertilizer Works, and Prof ShoreJ
of the Federal Experiment Station, are
OF the opinion that 1t was a mistake
to food the lime compartment with
water. They believe that carbonic acic
gas should have been forced into the
compartment. This is heavier than
the atmosphere and crowds out oxy-
gen. and would, therefore, suffocatt
fire In any form. There is some curl
osity as to whether the interior OF the
vessel win be damaged by the excess
i've heat acting on the steel plates and
pillars supporting the decks.

ONE CHANGE

IT have returned to Honolulu some

said Mr.. ]. F. Hackfeld, who was
found in his Office yesterday after
noon. lowing TO the very sad and sud-
den death of my friend and business
associate, Mr.. H. Alexander Isenberg.
His loss is severely felt by all of us.
and is brought home to me particular
ly with great force at the present time
because it is here in Honolulu that l
worked with him for many years, and
where during my former visits 1 had
the privilege of enjoying the hospital
ity of Mr.. and Mrs. Isenberg.
mo particular changes will take
place in our firm. The business will
continue to be managed by our local
directors, who have been our trusted
employees for many years. and in
whose integrity /, and / believe also
our business friends, have the fullest
confidence. A new vice-president had,
OF course, to be elected in place of
Mr.. Isenberg, and Mr.. Pfotenhauer
has been appointed to that office. The
officers of the corporation now are: j.

"As regards sAse present condition OF
the sugar market, regret not to be
able to make a favorable report. The
last beet crop has been very large, and
the increase in the consumption OF
sugar in Europe and America since
September last has so far been only d
limited one. We must, therefore, ex-
pect low prices for some time. A
great deal will depend upon the
amount OF land which VIII be culti-
waited for beets next spring, and on
weather conditions in Europe next
summer and autumn.
1T is hoped that the present low
price of sugar may induce the beet
growers to reduce their intended SOW
ings to a considerable extent, but
nothing definite will be known in re-
gard to this until the end Of next
April"
