he Got More Money

They tell Il story on one of our
local sporting men, which is well
worth newspaper space. Our
friend, whose name it is unneces-
sary to mention, was addicted to
the amusement furnished by a
gentlemanly dealer who sits be-
hind little silver box and calm
~ deals out fortune or misery to
his anxious customers. Faro is
the name the game goes blythe
game of the gentlemanly sport
and the plunger of the old state
of Nevada. On this occasion our
friend had gone against it good
and hard. Had borrowed right
and left until his limit had been
reached. In despair he plunged
his hands in his empty pockets,
turned up his coat collar and
went sorroWfully down the street
talking to himself (even as you
and u. Reaching home, his
family being absent, hope rose
gain triumphant in his breast.
He gazed long and anxiously
around the parlor, wondering II
anything would meet his eye
which could be converted into
cash, by which he could again
WOO the fcklc goddess Of chance.
His wife, Il devout lady, who
deeply deploredthe transgression
Of her liege lord when he kicked
over the traces occasionally, had
prior to this purchased a beauti-
full Bible, which, reposing on the
comfortable caught our friend
eye. Picking 1T up he SORROW
fully shook his head, saying
by George I'd hook you if |
thought | could get anything for
YOU" Then in sudden gust
OF anger he fired the book across
the room. Lo. and behold Il
miracle occurred. The holy book
fell on the carpet, with leaves
outstretched, and gently tlutter-
ing like a fragment of cloud from
the heavens beautiful yellow
back gold note of the denomina-
ton of $50 lit on the carpet.
With a bound our friend landed
on the treasure trove. Needless
to say explanations were in order
when the mistress Of the home
on her return, examined her
Bible, which she had made the
repository for a piece of pocket
money. OF course, that bill
went the way of the many other
bills. But that's another story.

RALDwI NAND H. c. & s.

Concerning the retirement of H. p.
Baldwin from the position of Manager
of Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company, the Maui News says:
During his administration of the af-
fairs of the H. C. & S. Co. the new mill
was built, railroads laid, and thou
sands of acres of new cane land put to
profitable cultivation, new water ditch
es dug.
Since Mr.. Baldwin took charge of the
H. C. & S. Co. the sugar tonnage has
been greatly increased and the plan
tation put on a paying basis.
In giving up the active management
Of the H. c. & S. Co, Mr.. Baldwin does
not entirely withdraw from active su-
pervision of the same, as he has been
elected managing director and will con-
tinue to give valuable advice to the
present manager.
Mr., Frank F. Baldwin, the new man
ager, has met with unusual success in
plantation work and will doubtless meet
with equally good success as his father
has done in the past.
For some years he worked on the
Paia Plantation under d. C. Lindsay
and later had charge of Division Of
H. C. & S. Co. and on the appointment
OF B. d. Baldwin as manager of the
Hawaiian Sugar Company at Maxwell,
Kauai, he was appointed assistant
manager of the Hawaiian Commercial
& Sugar Co. of which he is now the
manager. Mr.. f. F, Baldwin is a rec
ognized plantation man Of ability and
commands the highest esNeem and con-
fidence of all who know him.

.LUAU FOR THE
VISITING YACHTMEN
AFFAIR AT PEARL HARBOR ON
LAST SATURDAY EVENING A
HUGE SUCCESS.

On last Saturday evening fully two
hundred yachtsmen with their friends
gathered at the Pearl Harbor lochs and
enjoyed a genuine Hawaiian luau, at
which an alliance was formed between
the New York Yacht Club and the Ha-
wall Yacht Club by electing Owner
Tut of the Anemone an honorary men,
Der Of the Hawaii Yacht Club. The
prizes won during the late ocean race
were presented during the evening to
the winners by Governor Garter of Ha-
wall.
The party of yachting men left Ho-
nolulu early in the afternoon for a visit
to the Honolulu plantation. After Wis
iting the plantation and picking up
Manager Low they proceeded to Pearl
Harbor where the luau was to be held.
There a large delegation of yachtsmen
met them who had come down on the
train.
A little after o'clock the call to the
luau was given and soon about the big
tables placed in a square form the
merry party gathered. The pavilion
where the tables were placed was beau
tifully decorated with flags and flowers.
AT the head of the table and in the
center was Governor Carter, and on
either side of him was Commodore Sim
clair and Captain Tut. On a pedestal
in the center of the room was the largd
calabash which the second prize in the

TWO MEN
One Said to Have Made Forty Million
Dollars i'm Ten Years-Another Serv-
ed a Term in the Penitentiary but
Dice 2 Millionaire.

Last week c.. S. Guthrie, a million
aire from the north who was south On
a hunting trip, was seized with an at
tack of appendicitis and taken to a
sanitarium in Salisbury where he died
as a result of an operation
Few newspaper people in this part of
the country knew anything about Mr..
Guthrie, and yet, according to the
stories given out since his death, he
was a remarkable man 1t is stated
that during Ceveland's administration,
1S93-97, Guthrie was a postal clerk in
the railway service. For some infrac-
ton of the regulations he was dismiss
ed from the service and then took a
day laborer's position with the Repub-
lie Steel and Iron Co., n of the big
corporations of New England. He rose
rapidly and was soon made president
of the corporation, d position he held
at the time of his death, and his wealth
is estimated at $4,000, 900. Think of
it! A man holding a job as railway
postal clerk ten years ago at a salary
of $50 to $500 d month. He loses his
| position and ten years later, at the age
o f42, he dies worth $4O,OOO,OOO. The
story sounds incredible. And yet in
these days immense fortunes are some
times made in less than ten years
Guthrie seems to have been a man Of
| good fortune. His rapid rise in the
steel and iron company, no matter how
Industrious, energetic or capable he
may have been, can be accounted for
! in NO other way.
A few days g Charles T. Yerkes,
another millionaire, died in New York.
He was not we'll known. The average
newspaper reader never heard of him
until he died, but his career was even
| more remarkable than that of Guthrie
He seems to have been q bad man NOR
ally, but he seems to have been sue
cessful, and in this life sucess covers a
multitude of sins. The PittsbOrO Re-
cord has this summary Of Yerkes' ca
reer:
He began life asa clerk in a store
at a SALARY of $50 for the first year, and
died a northumberland. During his
%eventful life he made a large fortune
before he was 80 years old and in a day
had lost it all. Afterwards he was
convicted of embeZzlement and served
Ill LHe ~penllentldfy. ABOUT ~ years
ago he obtained control of the street
railway systems in Chicago, which he
sold out for $10.OOO,00O, and for the
past few years was largely interested
in English railroads. His dwelling in
New York city was very costly, his
bathroom alone having cost $4,000.

contains a collection or paintings val

BUSINESS
Messrs. Platt & Haar. Well Known
Dry Goods Firm. Lease Front Street
Store

The progressive firm of Plat and
Haar are aware that they will have
to move from their present stand on
account of their rapidly growing bust
ness so they have leased the store at
No. 9 North Front street, the building
formerly occupied by the c.. W. Pol
vogt Company. The building is leased
until next October so they will nave
to remain at their present stand until
that time.
This firm began business at their
present stand, No. ia Market street,
three years ago and they have done a
business that surpassed even thei"
most sanguine expectations. Both
members of the firm. Mr.. Robert C..
Platt and Mr.. G. Henry Haar, are wide
awake, energetic business men and

train was running at between 20 and
30 miles per hour and before it could
be stopped the track was torn up for a
distance of fully 80 yards. 4 wreck
ing train was sent to the scene of the
wreck yesterday afternoon but in
getting the track ready for traffic the
greatest difficulty is not SO much in
getting the cars out Of the way as in
rebuilding the track.
Wreck No. 4. at Benson.
The first wreck at Benson was
extra southbound freight No 33S. This
occurred at ) O'Clock ON Thursday
night and necessitated all main line
passenger trains of the y. G. L. due
to pass Benson during the night to be
detoured via Wilmington. No one
was hurt in the wreck.
This wreck was also due to the
breaking of a truck. Eight cars
four refrigerator and four coal cars
were piled in a conglomerated mass
on the track. The wrecking train was
sent out from South Rocky Mount and
it took until 1 p. m. Friday to get the
track clear. 1t was on the following
morning at $40 when the Florida
Special was wrecked at the same
place.
1t vas indeed fortunate hat not a
life was lost or any one seriously hurt
in any of the wrecks.
