FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH

Afioat the thirteen day of the month
is still a matter for reverential con-
sideration among some sailors and
they also have peculiar convictions in
regard to Friday. though Friday does
not bother them as much at sea as
it does ashore when the master passes
the word that their ship will sail ON
Friday. Now the combination of the
thirteenth day of the month falling
on a Friday is calculated to make a
great many men who go down to the
sea in ships sit UP and take notice.
Yesterday was Friday and it was also
the thirteenth day of the month. As
sells leaving port and SO there were no
sailors to prophesy terrible disasters
for sailing under such calendar COM
bination The steamer C1audine sail
ed, of course, but Friday happens to
be her regular sailing day and a regu-
lar sailing day does not come under
the hoodoo; it is only when a ship
might just as well sail on some other
day, but persists in sailing on the
alleged unlueky day, that the mer-
maids begin to comb their hair and
weave limu leis for their expected low
ers from the storm-swept surface.

DEPoRTs STILL HELD.

The sixty Spaniards and Portuguese
held for deportation will not be sent
back home in the S. S. Amfral Olry
as originally planned. At meeting
of the Board of immigration it was
decided that since the Amiral Olry
will be four or five months getting to
Europe it would not be considerate to
compel the fifty Spaniards and ten
Portuguese to stay aboard ship all
that time So an effort will be made
to arrange for the deports to be sent
hence to San Francisco and overland
to New York and thence to the places
whence they came,

DRILLING FOR ACTION.

There was certainly nothing comfort
able in the drill through which a bat
talon of blue-jackets from the squad
ron were put yesterday morning, for
the drill ground selected was the coral
sand stretch near the sewer pumping
station where the sun sizzled, the coral
cut and the sand slipped from under
marching feet. The boys were drilling
for action, going through regular land
party tactics, and the few who
were wise to the fact that such drill
was going on were deeply interested in
the operations. Packing a gun and
cavorting about the coral strand in
the glare of the sun is no sport and
the jackies were not in 1t for sport.
They probably envied others of the
squadron who were treading soft sod
and agreeable grass in Aala Park. In
the old fishmarket the flagship band
gave a concert and on the esplanade
and on Richards and Alakea streets still
more marines and jackies drilled.

AMIRAL oLRY ARRIVES.

The French steamship Amiral Olry,
Captain LIE Cert, arrived yesterday
morning from Yokohama and locked
at the Bishop wharf about o'clock.
She was eleven days making the trip
and came with $500 tons of freight and
260 Japanese immigrants. The immi-
grants We're landed at an early hour
at the immigrant station where they
were at once put through the usual
examination as to their qualifications
to be admitted ito the country. The
Amiral Olry is expected to leave for
San Francisco tomorrow afternoon.
From San Francisco she goes to Seat
tie. thence down to Mexican and west
coast South American ports, through
the Straits of Magellan and up to Rio
de Janeiro, thence to the Mediterra-
mean. through the Red Sea and the
Indian Ocean and SO back to Japan.
She carries seven round-the-world
passengers and it would be difficult
to imagine a more delightful trip than
that now being enjoyed by the Amiral
Olrys tourists.

THAT the old bark has not arrived

Premier's Ticket Aided Murder.

A Russian journal tells the story oi how the murderer of Gen Lunnitz prefect of St. Petersburg, obtained ad mission to the semi-official party a. which the deed was committed. After the crime all the guests were detained and their tickets were examined There was one ticket the rigthful owner of which was not present It was no other than that of Premier Stoypin himself The murder had been committed under cover of the in. vitation ticket of no less a parsonage than the prime Minister. The premier had not been ab' |. to go, and his ticket fell into the bands of member of the secret poliG.! named Nakolene. He resold it to the revolutionists for $16,- 900.

''He Is the real thing in the way of | chow" said she. Father bought aim for me in Shanghai. Did you know hey ate them there?"
 T had heard that the Chinese ate logs, but I thought it was fake, like he story of their eating rats"
 No; it is the truth. They do eat logs, but only the chow variety. Chow, you know, means edible. Yes. they eat elbows In every butcher shop you see elbows carcasses hung up. the same as we hang up the car casses of pigs. The flesh is white"
 "White?"
 Yes; like veal. The Chinese raise elbows for food and feed them only soft, washy stuff, mashed vegetables and bread and milk. No meat what ever. Hence the white flesh.
 Notice Wus black tongue We'll, chow tongue is Chinese delicacy. They make soup of it. But it is very expensive, like our turtle soup, and it is only eaten by the rich.
 Isn't it strange that dog so fash tonable with us should be only an arti- cle of food in China?"

The time now is that there must be some sort of retrenchment in the ex- pense of conducting the sort of gov ernment most of the States have to endure. Texas is on it's ears because with the increase of population there is an increase in all expenses, raise in taxes and no sort of improv ement in the conduct of State affairs The old theory that things can be done for a less per capita expense when done on the wholesale is not working out in that state. The expenses are in creasing with the population not in an even ratio, but by leaps and bounds, and there is no improvement in the efficiency of affairs. Many other states are in similar condition There is no honest reason for this. and the dishonest reason should be circumvented by demand from the people for dollars worth of service for every dollar they pay in taxes.

The Texas Cotton Warehouse Com pany has thought it wise to issue a card distinctly setting forth the fact that it is no part of the Farmers Union, and is in no way connected with that organization, and that it will act as an independent corpora tion. having as it's object the storing of distressed cotton and the making of advances on it, just as any other business institution might do. It is not out of place to state that this concern has in it's organization sev- eral members of the Union. and it's work will be along the lines of the Unions warehouse plans. This con- cern purposes building several ware houses in different parts of the State where cotton will be accepted. stored and advances made upon it or not. as the depositor of the cotton may choose.
