To BUILD YACHT
IN THIS CITY
Transpacific Boat Will Be
E Constructed of Hawaii
Materials.

A most important meeting of the
transpacific yacht committee was held
last night at Commodore Cooper's of
fice and number of important details
concerning the collection of money for
the building of a yacht to represent
Hawaii We're discussed. Those present
were Messrs. Cooper, Lyle, Sorenson,
McInerny and Wilder
Inc cablegram from Mr.. Tandy was
read and Commodore Cooper was in
structed to write him, ask that the
preliminary plans be hurried as much
as possible and to thank him for his
prompt attention. The matter of OBJ
tanning money was then taken up. Tt
was decided to ask for donations in
sums of not less than S.. For each
donation SO received the donor will be
given certificate of receipt. The yacht
will be place in the charge of the com
mittee, to be handled as it may see fit.
After the race, If the committee shall
decide to sell the boat. the money SO
received shall be divided among those
who have donated, in proportion to the
amounts given.
In case that it shall be decided to
keep the yacht for the next race, the
committee will remain in charge of the
vessel and her care will be turned over
~
small details in regard to the sending
out of circulars which shall tell of the
needs of the committee and give full
conditions under which the money OBJ
tanned will be used, were talked over
and decisions reached.
1t was definitely settled that the
yacht shall be built in Hawaii and that
all the material possible for her con-
struction shall be of native products.
The preliminary plans will be here
within six weeks and then the active
start will be made In the meantime
the committee will let no time be vast
ed but will start their work of OBJ
tanning money at once.
The circulars mentioned will be print
ed within the next week and will be
sent to those who are expected to con-
tribute both in this city and throughout
the Territory. The committee believes
that there will be no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the sum needed which will be
in the neighborhood of $4,000 $1,000 of
which will needed for the expenses of
the race and the taking of the boat
to the Coast from Hawaii

RETURN SPRINGFIELD
RIFLES To TERRITORY

One hundred Springfield rifles, many
of them in such a condition that they
can not be used, were turned over to
the National Guard armory yesterday
by Sheriff Iaukea. These weapons
have been in the police station for
many years and have been taking up
room that was needed for other pur-
poses. They have been kept in the
cells on the main floor of the station
and in consequence the police author
ities have been cramped for room when
they wished to eonfne prisoners apart
from the others.
There are still about 120 rifles, all
in good condition, in the police sta
tion armory. OF these so are Spring
fields, so are Winehesters and 90 are
earbines Before the Springfelds were
trfned over to the National Guard,
Sheriff Taukea talked the matter over
with Acting Governor Atkinson and
they decided that the course followed
was the best one to pursue.

COMMENT
ON SEC'Y STRAUS' VISIT

The Jiyu Shinbun had the following
concerning Mr.. Straus' intended visit
yesterday, in its editorial column:
"We learn that Mr.. Straus, of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
is shortly expected to visit the Pa
cifc coast and Hawaii, where he will
study the labor conditions and more
particularly look into the affairs In
San Francisco. It is expected that
his visit to California viii give much
light upon the sad occurrences which
recently took place in that notorious
city. We may well rely upon his in
tegrity and high sense Of justice
which are always manifest in the
American gentlemen and hope that his
visit will cool down the high anti
japanese feeling of San Francisco. The
opportunity awaits this gentleman $
skill to adjust the affairs and bring
back the two nations of the Pacific to
perpetual sisterhood.
ellis intended visit to us is report
ed to be very short one, but 1t
should not tax a shrewd statesman,
as he is, much to study Hawaii even
in so short a time. Our countrymen
are forming the majority of the popu-
lation of the islands, mostly as labor
ers in the plantations, and his close

1--WE think it is up to our respected
Consul and to the prominent members
of our community to receive this high
official with utmost courtesy and avail
of this rare opportunity to
meet him, so that his visit shall end
in better understanding, mutually
beneficial to both nations.

Surnames of Royalty.
/ the London I. p.'s Weekly.


The origin of most royal houses was SIM
liar throughout Europe. and kings and their
families, speaking broadly. never had or
used surnames. They signed their Chris
tian names alone. So universally was this
the case that 1t became rigid etiquette that
a person of royal birth should not use a
surname though there have been numbers
OF cases of dynasties, like our own Stuarts,
like the Bernadotte dynasty of Sweden or
like the Bonaparte family, who unques-
tionably and Individually had inherited sur
names. But ii has always puzzled me why
the cadet members of our own royal house
do not subscribe themselves as peers by
their peerage designations, as do other
peers. However, the fact Is they do not:
but l confess l have far failed to dis
cover what are the rules which govern their
signatures. The sovereign signs by the
Christian name. and usually adds r" or
h and J. Princes and Processes sign
by their Christian names, and sometimes
but not always, add the letter "P" When
or why this is added or omitted / am nm
aware.
But the habits of royalty lead others
into strange happenings. There vas an
occasion q can add name and place and
date if needfuD upon which Queen Vie
toria, after function" was asked TO
sign visitors book. Her majesty wrote

she signed Elizabeth" The surname was
hastily written in the following day bur too

The police but not the public also know
! that the very handsome villa inclosed by a
! large and well-kept garden, situated in the
kolomn suburb, is Stepanoffs home, and
that he built it himself
The menage is luxurious one, and the
beggar has his servants and his trotters
just as If he were a noble or wealthy
merchant.
So much for the king of beggars. For
MS anniversary he decided to follow the
Idea of the Chicago banquet, vet even on
a grander scale. He caused Invitations 10
be sent broadcast to the beggars tramps
and miscellaneous hoboes of st. Petersburg.
The banquet hall was the cemetery, tic
home of his exploits
The police, strange to say, raised no OBJ
Jectons to the Jubilee IN the graveyard
Lhey allowed the caterers wagons to I'M
ioad huse piles of eatableS and great bas-
kets flled to the brm with bottles of strong
vodka. They allowed the guests the queer
est asSsemDlage in the city, to gather to the
number OF round thousand. and further
more they raised no objections to the graves
ana gravestones being used as tables ON
each gravestone was laid sumptuous re-
past with its proper complement of LIQUID
refreshment. \ dozen or more Of tho
strange guests gathered round each grave
depending on its size. and there fea sted.
Ivan himself presided at one Of the central
graves, a great mausoleum. the family
vault of prince. During the feast he a lso
visited and drank his toast at others of
the tombs.
This strange scene continued from noon
throughout the evening until came the timo
for the cemetery to be closed for the night.
There was unSecmly noise. Each party
of junketerS had It's own merriment, but
although the vodka was plentiful there
were no drunkaTds and no rowdes In the
crowd.
Ivan Stepanoff announced early in the day
with much cClat that in view of the fcs-
tivlties he would abstain from importun-
ing strangers for aims for that day. the
first day in thirty-iiVe years in which he
had not attended TO his business
Toward closing time Stepanoff marshaled
his guests in small parties and conducted
them to the gates. From there they van
ished to their various holes.
II is estimated that the celebration cost
the king of beggars fully $500 But he IS
plying his trade more vigorously than ever
and may soon make up this.
Although this is the first beggarS banquet
in Russia, there are now likely TO be others
Chicago has evidently sowed seed which
promises TO be fruitful.

effective step in the development OF inc

the securing from a number OF Telegraph

Several wears later the idea of posting an
outline map of the country with weather
symbols was put into effect. An old manu-
script written by Prof. henry hiiiiseii
speaks of 1t in these words:
THE first practical application when
was attempted of the principle we have
mentioned was made by this institution in
1856; the information carried by telegraphlc
disnatches in regard to the weather was
daily exhibited by means of differently col
ored tokens on a map of the United states,
so as 70 show at one view the meteorologi-
cal condition of the atmosphere over the
whole country. AT the same time puoilca-
ton of Geographic dispatches was MADE IN

transfer of the weather service first to the
Signal Corps of the army and then as sep

meteorological tables and promoted original
studies in meteorology such as those now
conducted by DR.. Rotch.

Russian King of Beggars
Emulates Tramps' Banquet

ST. PETERSBUR G, July 81, 1907.
IRON far-off Chicago there came to
r the capital of all the Russas the tale
of the great banquet to American
tramps and beggars. No doubt the gayety
and magnifcence of DR.. Reitmans spread
to hoboes was much distorted when the
story reached the cars of Russian beggars.
Yet 1t made an impression, and especially
on Ivan Stepanoff. the king of Russian beg
CARS Ivan the other day celebrated the
thirty-ffth anniversary of his sovereignty
This king of the underworld was most
anxious to celebrate the event in an up-to-
date manner. and SO the moment he heard
of the Chicago feast he decided that he
would follow suit and give a gorgeous
banquet
Those familiar with Russia and Russian
life know that one of the features of the
land is the army of beggars There is no
charity organization society to bother and
the police are friendly friendly, In fact,
that there is probability that the beggars
either pay goodly percentage or buy out
right from the police their numerous stands
in the streets of the cities.
Ivan StepanOff Is man of sixty-a tall
well-built man with white hair and beard
having more the appearance of a well-to-do
artisan or minor official than a beggar. Yet
he has piled his trade for good thirty
five years. and always at the same stand

for himself, his poor wife and starving

Assailing the Humble Prune.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
1t cannot be denied that the prune is
nutritious. If it were not. whole genera
lions of boarders would have persisted Of
starvation. But 1t has no variety of flavor
A dish of stewed prunes tastes the same in
all climates and in all ATTITUDES. Other fruit
charms by its variety of flavor. Apples, for
instance, differ as much in flavor as vinegar
and molasSes. The trouble with the prune
Is that 1t leaves nothing to the magma
ton. A man learns much about its
flavor by eating one prune as by eating all
the prunes in creation. This sameness is a
fatal defect. Surprises lurk even in board
ing house hash but not in prunes.
