JAEGER TOOK
COLD SWIM

| James Jaeger, of this city, had a
narrow escape from drowning when
returning from Molokai on the gaso-
line launch Kaahumanu last Sunday.
The little boat behaved magnificent1y
both going and coming, though the
vessel of her size, and the engine ran
without a hitch, never causing a mo-
ment's anxiety. The accident men
toned, which was the only trouble
which occurred on the trip. happened
off Koko Head, as the little launch
was coming in on the return trip.
There was a heavy cross sea at the
time and Clarence Macfarlane was at
the wheel, which he would throw hard
over and then bring back, to ease the
strain as the big waves rose and fell.
One time as he had the wheel hard
over, the cable on the rudder snapped
and the wheel, suddenly released,
sprang back suddenly, throwing Mac
farlane against Jaeger who was stand
ing beside him, and sending the latter
into the water.
With the cable on the rudder broken,
it was a hard job to maneuver the
little craft. and Jaeger had long time
in the water before he was picked up.
The seamanship displayed by those on
board was equal to the occasion, and
they managed to get close enough TO
haul him on board, after he had been
in the water for about twenty minutes.
When he was finally pulled on board
it was discovered that the cigar which |
he. had in his mouth when he went |
over was still in it's place, though 1t |
was not lighted. Jaeger says that |
the next time he goes on trip with !
on board he is going TO |
carry cigars and matches in water
light case.

THE PUNcTrLIoUs WEST.

"At the garden party that King Ed
ward gave last month at Windsor
said a Chicagoan, Mark Twain was
undoubtedly the lion. AS he strolled
through the gardens, with their fine
view of Elton in the distance, peeresses
besieged him for his autograph and
dukes clamored to be introduced.
"Our great humorist was in high
spirits. He was much impressed with
the mems elegance-the cut of their
frock coats, the luster of their silk
hats, the shapeliness of their glossy,
pale-topped boots
ST heard him say that the punctilious
observance of the rules of fashion that
the mems dress showed made him
think of the West.
Entering mining town in the
West one night, he said to a miner
whom he knew:
land do you still shoot men here
for wearing silk hats?'
1.-THE miner frowned and shook his
head:
Not unless they wear 'em with sack
coats he said

this country, will be seen with the All

| The following wireless was received b,
Jess Woods last evening and explain

Jess Woods, Honolulu, T. H.
Coming on the sixteenth. VIII
| train here.
''SAM MAHUKA."
This will be good news to every lover
of the game in Honolulu, as Mahuka''
name has always been mentioned wher
there was talk of great players among
local talent. The natives here think
that there is no one like him and they
will take fenewed interest when they
learn that the s'Only SAM will hold
down firstbase for the All-Hawaii
team. Mahuka is an old Kan player
and it is said that he was by far the
best batter that ever faced a pitcher
in a Honolulu league.
Mahuka was one of the few players
who could place his hits, and at this
he was a wonder He was hitter who
could always put the ball where the
fielder was not. He was a graceful as
we'll as sure fielder, and the natives
all called him the Cat, on account of
his quickness.
Don't let anyone get the idea that
this great ball player is a dead one,
for he is not. Mahuka organized a
ball team on Hawaii and has been
playing ball ever since he left Ho-
nolulu, and people who have seen him
in action on the other island claim
that he is just as fast as he ever was.
His team of cowboys on the Parker
ranch can beat anything in that coun-
try, and he has made name for him.
self on Hawaii as great as he has on
Oahu. There will be many of his
friends out to see him in action against
the Coast team.
Mahuka will practise every day with
his team and viii get in good shape
up there. The signals of the team will
be mailed him and he will be kept in
touch with all of the plays of the team.
He will be here a week before the
team arrives from the Coast, and this
will get him to playing with the others
and into the team work. He is a play
err who is quick to grasp any new idea
and he will work into the game
quickly.
The team had a good turn out last
evening and had good batting and

ing into shape and at the next prac-
-ise on Thursday will be given the
signals.
Arrangements have been made to
olay a practise game with the Dia-

worked hard right up to the last min

rrives from Frisco.

| Chicago. Sept. 90.-Wheat for May de-
| livery sold on the board of trade today
at 81. 0S1z, the highest mark for the season.
| Other options showed corresponding adj
vances. This sharp uptUrn was caused by
sensational reports of damage by wealth
er to the crop OF western Canada. At the
close, the December delivery was 1S0
17sC higher. Corn was 12d5sc higher.
Oats were 19sc higher and provisions log
zoe higher.
Sentiment in the wheat pit was ex-
tremely bullish all day, and the volume of
trade was large. The opening quotations
on the leading options were sac to AG
sc higher than the close of yesterday.
The reason for the opening strength was
an advance of almost I'd in the price of
wheat at Liverpool, because of crop dam
age reports from Canada and greatly de-
creased shipments from Argentina. The
local market was further strengthened by
| THE last of this crop goes down and out
tonighti killing frosts being predicted
everywhere" This message caused a
stampede among shorts throughout al
most regardless of price. The report that
100 boatloads of wheat had been taken
for export at New York also strengthened
the market Part of the gain was lost
on heavy realizing, but the market closed
strong. Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to $4,000 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts were $4,000 bushels, against 1Of4-
COO bushels on the same day last year.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago report
ed receipts of 600 cars, against 400 last
week and 200 a year ago. December
wheat opened sc to 1lsc higher at 81 .002f
to S1.01A, sold between S1.0O7s and S1.G25s
and closed at SL0lkd102. May sold be-
tween sLO67s and S1.OS1z and closed at

pace set by wheat. final quotations on the

December opened 1sdHc to 11sd1Ac higher
at 57Ac to 5S14c, sold up to 5912c and closed
at 5S5sc.
Oats were strong in sympathy with
wheat and corn, but were less active.
December opened sc to &c higher at 531Rc
1 held within the opening range all day and
closed at 531zc.
Provisions were strengthened by the

WARD TREND.

New York. Sept D.-The stock market
became very quiet today. Reports from
brokers Of the return of large blocks OF
stocks which had been borrowed for de-
livery affording a clue 10 one reason
for the slowing down of the buying in the
extent of tho covering Of short contracts,
which has been done. With the percep-
ton that buying Of this character was
largely responsible for the advance which
has occurred in prices, operators were
disinclined to enter on commitments on
the long side of the market. Estimates
of the weeks currency movement pointed
again to a gain by the banks. the fig
ures indicating between two and three
million dollars as the amount of the in
crease
AS the forecasts of the bank statement
have indicated a cash gain which the
actual statement in turn failed to con-
firm, there was some hesitation today in
operating In stocks to discount favOra-
bic bank statement. The call loan mar
ket, however, showed returning ease.
The foreign trade statement for August
attracted attention by reason of the small
balance Of excess value Of exports over
imports for the month. This amounted
to but S1,S33, $50, compared with S2A104
463 in August of 1906. Not only was there
a falling off Of upwards of 100000 in
value of exports, but value of imports had
risen fore than S20000OoO over those for
August last year. The present movement
of grain for export trade, however, is
heavy and reports were current in the

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Situation Improving, But Retail
Trade Somewhat Slow.


New York, Sept 2O.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Whether attributable to the improve
ment in the general financial situation or
because of favorable weather allowing of
the additional crop developments, there is
perceptble better feeling in general
commercial lines. Retail trade has hard
ly been as brisk as desired or expected
because or the warm weather, while help
ing crops has not stimulated fall buyin z
TO any great extent. Reports as to job
bling trade, so far this fall, are in the
main favorable, though the undertone of
conservatism is still perceptble and the
feeling is that frequent rather than large
buying is to be the keynote of the au-
tumn trade.
Still, while the larger markets report a
cessation Of activity, the volume of ship
mentS is heavy and the smaller markets
are reporting the influence of complet-
ing harvesting or of fall festivals in en-
larged transactions. There are still many
cross currents visible which prevent gem
eraI1Zation, and enough irregularity to
convince many observers that a quieting
down of excessive demand, concededly
desirable in some lines, is not improbable.
Easier money conditions are reported to
nave stimulated buying of raw wool by
manufacturers. Collections as a whole.
are better, but there are reports from
some markets of more numerous requests
Tor renewals OF paper and some large
manufacturing enterprises with profitable
contracts on hand have sought and re-
ceived financial assistance to tide them
over present tight money period. The
feeling in the iron trade is better. in
curry manifesting itself. but the quota
lions of leading products are no ffrmer.
and indeed some lines and markets are
lower on the week
Still further reduced quotations for COP
per have evoked only a small volume of
buying, and lead is also lower, with re-
striction of output of both metals active
ly in progress.

HAZED OVER A FIERY
FURNACE, MAN Is DYING.
Cords Burned Through, and New Mill
workers Body Dropped to Floor,
His Flesh Being Charred.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Sept. 10.-Henry
Perry. a millworker, OF Wheeling, w. Va,
is dying from a brutal hazing admins
tered yesterday by fifty employees of the
Tyler Tube and Piping Company. Burned
and beaten, there is little hope for his
recovery.
The Tyler C~ompany's steelworkers have
a custom of initiating new employees.
Perry came to work yesterday from the
Wheeling mills. AT the lunch hour he
was seized by n couple Of powerful mill
men, that he might be put through his
degree" Perry fought valiantly, and
with two iron pipes succeeded in warding
off several of his tormenters, until over
powered by superior numbers. His cloth
ing was fastened to a hook of a big iron
crane and he was bound fast with cords.
Then he was swung above the fame of
a big blast furnace which is usually ap-
preached by the workmen only when COW
cred by a shield. Finally the cords were
burned through and Perry's unconscious
form dropped TO the floor right in front
Of the furnace. where his flesh was
shriveled and his clothing charred. His
tormentors, alarmed at their work, called
DR.. j.. r. Maxwell. who worked with
the man for seven hours before restoring
consciousness.
Physicians believe Perry inhaled the
flames and entertain little hope for his re-
covery. Warrants were issued for the
arrest OF the ringleaders of the affair, but
they escaped arrest by getting out of
town.
