SHIPPING NOTES.

The steamer Nebraskan sailed from
Kahului for San Francisco on Satur-
day.
1t is quite likely that the steamship
Olympia from Seattle may not arrive
until this evening or tomorrow morn
ing.
Thirty-one japanese arriving on the
Doric were refused landing here be-
cause of a suspicion that they were
afflicted with trachoma. In the event
of the suspicion being sustained they
will be deported on the next Japan
bound steamer.
As outlined in the Advertiser sun
day. the Gable company will charter
the Inter-Island steamer Iwalani TO
take supplies to the cable colony on
Midway island. There will be six
months supplies to take out Coal viii
be carried over to use in the operation
of the refrigerator and other plants on
the sand islet The IwaIani Will de-
part early this month.

of the most effective apartments in

Shortly after Z O'Clock last night
three Japanese stowaways confined in
the brig of the steamship Doric escap-
ed from the vessel by prying away the
bars across a portfolio. They plunged
over the side of the vessel and swan
up the slip. The news of the cape
spread quickly and d watch was placed
on various portions of the wharves.
Instead of swimming to the wharf
opposite to that at which the Doric
was lying-the Hackfeld-the men

taken aboard again and placed under
the strongest lock and key the vessel

quite large. The vessel departed at 9

Travelled in other countries. | have often
wondered just how much money was
spent by Americans travelling through
European countries.
This was my first visit in quaint old
Ireland and the traveller who visits Eu-
rope without going through the home of
st. Patrick has missed the best part of
his trip. l rode in jaunting cars, and each
shaking made me more fond of the coun-
try. The Irish women are most beauti-
full. The most humble farmer girl has
perfect complexion, large innocent eyes
and wealths of glossy hair. A noticeable
feature. too. among the women of the
well-to-do is the lack of artificiality.
Their straightforwardness and sweetness
is captivating.
America, after all, is the greatest and
most interesting country. Our hurry
scurryness, our wonders of the east and
our beauties of the west, our government
and our homes are the best. The person
who sees America first will find Europe
quaint but lacking the features one can
see in America on all sides. | have been
in Switzerland, but find greater beauty
in the hills and valleys of the western

hind our big commercial centers. There is
