CREW OF THE ALAMEDA
PAID OFF IN HONOLULU
Change Made Necessary BY the Recent
Scarcity of Ready Coin In
San francisco

Scarcity of Ready Coin In
San Francisco.
HONOLULU. May 15.-For the first
time in the history of the company, a
crew OF the Oceanic Steamship Company's
feet was paid off in Honolulu after the
arrival here Of the Alameda. The disas-
ter In San Francisco was responsible for
the change.
Under ordinary circumstances the crew
of the vessel would have been paid off in
San Francisco on the arrival Of the vessel
from this port last month, but when she
reached there 1t was to find the city in
ashes and no money to be had. The crew
were given due bills for their wages and
these bills were kept until they returned
to Honolulu, when they were cashed at the
Office Of w. G. Irwin and Company, the
local agents OF the Oceanic Steamship
Company.

Mourning in England.

The polite Englishman who recent
ly criticised Americans for often be.
ing content as mourners to wear only
a black band encircling the left arm,
gave another illustration of his con-
servatism. His inclination for mourn.
ing garments is hereditary. In the
England of the early seventeenth cen.
fury, no sooner had a death taken
place than black clothing was sent as
a gift by the bereaved family, not
only to relatives, but to friends as
well. Everything surrounding the
chief mourner was put into the deep
est blackjack hangings ON the
walls, black coverings on the beds.
Funerals were expensive in those
days, so expensive, in fact, that
among the poorer people a BLACK
bed" was loaned around from family
to family. About 1925, 1t is recorded.

$1,000 on the funeral Of her lord.

deck uninhabitable.
In the dog-watch the carpenter took
mercy on Gantline and myself and al
lowed us to share his room in the for

We had started forward when the man

of the flying drift and twilight a
shadow bore down upon tho ship,
grey-white above black. Then there
suddenly doomed out the shape of a
great ship tearing along under t'gal-

Then in an instant she was gone.
The drift had closed upon her as she
swept astern before anyone could read
her name. She had vanished as quick
ly as she had appeared, passing on in
to the dismal sea behind us like q
salt-streaked mystery.
We stood gazing at the whirling
drift in the gloom astern for some
minutes, and then we followed Chips
into his room. Gantline could not re-
call the vessel by her shape or rig and

He SnrnriseS Eliza

A story is going he rounds of the
territory press of d farmer, living a
few miles FROM Henryetta, who wore
his old suit until everybody was tired
of it, and his dstimable wife was al
most ashamed Of him. But one day,
when selling produce in town, he de-
termined to buy new suit, and a
happy thought struck him. He would
surprise Eliza. So he bundled a new
suit into the wagon, hurried toward
home, and at the bridge, two miles
from town, he stood up in the wagon
and peeled" and threw the despised
old suit into the creek. Then he
reached for his new clothes. They
were gone-had jolted out of the wag-
on! The night was cold, and his
teeth chartered as he scurried for
home. He surprised Eliza even more
than he anticipated.-Kansas City

not wonder they hold their own so
well. Speaking of green gloves, it may
be they are worn because nothing else

I couldn't do anything with pa, so
we stayed at that town until pa got
good and ready to go home. He bucked
the faro bank some, but the gamblers
soon found he had so much mone7
that he could break any bank, so they
closed up their lay-outs and began to
sell pa mining stock in mines which
were fabulously rich if they only had
money to develop them. They sailed
some mines near town for pa to ex-
anime, and when he found that they
contained gold enough in every shovel
full of dirt to make man crazy, he
bought a whole lot of stock, and then
the gamblers entertained pa for all

stopped by little pickaninny sitting
on the fencs who yelled in a shrill

Aunt Prudy turned slowly, and, with

Neckwear and Other Accessories of Dress

The French women do not take to
mannish styles in dress as do the Eng
fish and Americans. Whenever they
adopt anything that borders on man
nishness they are sure to modify it
with little feminine touches. And the
combined effect of severity and CO.
quetry is, we must say, both Frenchy
and attractive.
For instance, take the linen collar
as she is worn by French woman.
With the high turn down collar the
Partisan adds dainty tie of lawn, and
both collar and tie are hand embroid
cred. On this side the water we ap-
prove her taste, and we, too, go in for

White serge suits are trim and de-
cidedly chic these days, made with a
severe plainness that gives refresh

white linen suits are even more at

hats to wear with the white suits,
some with scarcely any trimming at
all. In millinery now we find this
contrast, flowers piled on flowers, and
next door a hat with nothing on it

felt real young and kitteny when we
came to the railroad, after leaving our
robber friends at the Hole in the Wall,
far into the mountain country. We
came to lively town on the railroad,
where every other house is gambling
house, and every other one a plain
saloon, and there was great excitement
IN the town over our arrival, cause
there don't very many rich and pros
porous people stop there.

Dress" It was light ecru batiste Of
all-over embroidery, the skirt short

waist was round girlish blouse with
sleeves just puff above the elbow,
very like those seen in the old-fash-
Toned pictures Of Empire ladies; the
girdle green messaline, having queer
gold figures scattered over it. The
color scheme was lovely, the dress

numerous that they come In on the
plains adjoining the green spots, at
night, and eat everything in sight, so
once year the people get up a rabbit
drive and go out in the night by the
hundred, on horseback, and surround
the country for ten miles or so, and at
daylight ride along towards a corral,
where thousands of rabbits are driven
in and slaughtered with clubs. The
men ride close together, with dogs,
and no guilty rabbit can escape.
Pa thought 1t would be picnic, and
so we went along, but pa wishes that he
had let well enough alone and kept out
Of the rabbit game. Those natives are
full Of fun, and on these rabbit drives
they always pick out some man to
have fun with, and they picked out pa
as the victim. We rode along for a
couple of hours, flushing rabbits by the
dozen, and they would run along ahead
of us, and multiply, so that when the
corral was in sight ahead the prairie
was alive with long cared animals, so
the earth seemed to be moving, and 1t
almost made a man dizzy to look at
them.
The hundreds of men on horseback
had come in close together from all
sides, and when we were within half
mile of the corral the crowd stopped
at signal, and the leader told pa that
now was the time to make cavalry
charge on the rabbits. and he asked pa
If he was afraid and wanted to go

OF course one would have to employ
skillful fingers to get the right lines,
but the whole may be built up at COM
paratively small cost. Little lace
bridge coats and boleros are the height
OF fashion; the tall person may in
dulge in the former, the one of low
stature must keep to the latter.
One sees the incest morning frocks
tub dresses to use the phraseology
OF the day-made up all in one piece.
Sometimes the waist and skirt are
joined by a girdle of insertion, some
times the Joining is very inconspic-
uous, just belt of self material. The
most successful frocks at least look
simple, no matter how much laborious
work has been spent upon them. The
other day we saw an apparently simple
