BARG DISCOVERY

An Eastern paper says: The Har-
ward College Library has just received
complete set, 635 numbers. of the
Spectator, published in the early part
of the eighteenth century. Before the
set which Harvard has acquired was
discovered it was thought that no COM
plete set existed. OF the first series,
; the Harvard Library, the Bodleian Ld-
brary at Oxford University, and the
British Museum mad complete sets, but
no complete file of the second series
was known. For years the British Mu-
scum has offered a large sum for sucn
a set. but seach for it was fruitless.
1t was by chance that Harvard STUN

belonged to Mr. Bement of Phila-
delphia and along with a part of his
collection was turned over to Rosen-
bach & Co. for sale. This firm deals
in pictures and was unaware of the
value of the volumes.
The set was listed in their catalogue
at $500 and was discovered there by w
r. Castle, Instructor in English, and
GIidden Osborne, the Harvard football
PLAYER, who is a collector of rare vol
umes. They called attention to the
find. and without delay $500 was sent
to Philadelphia, and the books came to
Cambridge. The set is worth many
times what the college paid for 1t, be-
sides being one of the biggest literary
discoveries of recent years. To add to

Knights Will Occupy
Their Quarters Next
february.

Sometime in February the Knights of
Pythias win move into their new hall
in the Harrison block. corner Fort and
Beretania streets.
The Pythians, comprising three flour
ishing lodges, have leased the entire
second or upper floor. The lodge room,
which will be one of the largst in
Honolulu, will occupy about half the
floor at the Waikiki end of the build
ing. The other half, fronting on Fort
and Beretania streets, will be used as
a recreation hall and will be rented
for entertainments, dances, etc.
. The furnishings for the lodge room
and anterooms will be elaborate. The
Pythians anticipate having one of the
most complete and ornate lodge halls
in the Territory.
The banquet hall will have a capa-
city of about $50 guests.
The Pythian lodges now occupy the
old lodge room known as Harmony
hall on King street opposite the Young
hotel. Besides these there are the
Eagles, Sons of st. George, Masters
and Pilots Association and one or two
other associati tions, all of which will ac-
company the Pythians to the new hall.
The hall will be used every night in
the week and on Sundays as well.

HAD CRAMPS AND DROWNED.

Another drowning accident in the
harbor was reported yesterday morn
ing, Japanese sailor, named Toma
Ichi Sin, having lost his life the night
before The body of the drowned man
was found floating near the ship soon
after the notification of the accident
had been given out. According to Cap
tain Stinson, the man had been last
seen leaning over the rail shortly after
six O'Clock. Then he disappeared over
board and an alarm was given. Be-
fore any help could come to him, how
ever the man had sunk from sight. 1t
is supposed that he had slipped over
board with the intention of swimming
ashore and deserting and had been
taken with cramps. This suppositlon
is borne out by the appearance OF the
body when found, it being drawn up
in a cramped position. with every
muscle tense. Al inquest into the
death will be held at half past one
o clock this afternoon, the haste being
necessary because of the desire of Cap

SWANZY'S COLLIE EATEN
AT VOLCANO ROAD LIJAlJ

F. M. Swanzy lost valuable collie
dog just after his arrival in Hilo last
week, and from the best evidence OBJ
tainable it appears that the animal was
eaten. The dog strayed away from
the Volcano house, and as soon as its
absence was noted attempts were made
to recover 1T. Not only by advertising
but by employing assistance, Mr.
Swanzy made every effort to find the
animal. The result was a peculiar dis
