MATSOu AFTER
PLANTERS line
DESIRES TO PURCHASE BIG FLEET
OF SAILING VESSELS AND THE
DEAL MAY GO THROUGH.

For some time there have been nego-
tiations afoot for the purchase of the
fleet of sailing sugar carriers belong
ing to the Planters line, operating be-
tween these Islands and San Francis
co and it was currently reported that
Captain Matson, the prospective pur-
chaser, had secured control of the elev-
en- vessels constituting the fleet.
George Robertson of the Planters
line was seen this morning by Star
representative in reference to the re-
ported sale.
Robertson stated that Matson desir-
ed to purchase the Planters feet and
that the deal had been discussed for
some time. A year ago it was talked
of and a sale was reported and denied.
Robertson went on to say, however,
that there had been no sale and, as
far as he was informed, there was no
immediate prospect of sale, although
there was no telling what had trans
pired in San Francisco since last he
was advised. He was of the opinion
that he would be informed with little
delay in the event Of the consumma-
ton of any such business.
Matson was not prepared, said Rob
ertson, to pay the price wanted by the
Planters. Had the Planters accepted
the price, it is understood, there would
have been nothing in the way of a dea
and should the desired consideration
be forthcoming there would be nothing
to stay the taking over of the fleet.
The vessels of what is known as the
Planters line were originally the prop,
erty of individuals who later exehang
ed their shares in the ships for stocE
in the company, but there are still &
few who retain individual interests IL
certain vessels, so that where a vesse
is for example three-fourths the prop
erty of the Planters line and a fourtl
individual property the individual in
terests have to be considered In an!
sale negotiations. Matson Is keeping
his eye on the feet and the matter o
a purchase is probably still being con
sldeTed on the mainland.

CALL TO
SCUDDER
MEETING OF THE CENTRAL
UNION CHURCH LAST NIGHT
AND DIR. sCUDDER NAMED.

At an unusually well attended bust
ness meeting of the members of the
Central Union church held last night
it was decided by an almost unanimous
vote of the $50 or 100 present to eX-
tend a call to the Rev. DR.. Doremus
Scudder. to become the pastor OF the
church. The secretary was instructed
to notify DR.. Scudder of the action
taken, and it is understood that the
offer will be accepted.
The pulpit of the Central Union
church has been vacant for several
weeks since the resignation Of Rev. }.
w. Sylvester, on account of i'll health.
Dr. Scudder's name has been talked OF
for some time, and the action last
night was not unexpected. InasmuCh
as Dr. Scudder had been contemplate
ing taking a vacation, it is probable
that he will not take up his new duties
until about the first of september.
The newly appointed pastor is known
to almost every one in Honolulu, haN-
ing been prominently identified in re-
ligious work here for a number OF
years. Up to the present time he has
been prominently identified with the
work of the Hawaiian Board, and is
also one of the leaders and most ag.
gressive member of the Anti-SalooI
League of Honolulu. In hih new fielC
his influence will be but more widely
felt, and his wide and intimate expert
ence fits him peculiarly for the posi-
ton.

 Madam shrugged her small shapely shoulders half way to her ears. and coolly opened her travelling bag, pro- duced cigarette and lighted it. puffing smoke delicately into space, while he walked the floor.

Crawford stood still with his hand on the door and listened. A man entered, and he heard madam give cry of joy. He heard a passion ate kiss. a loving greeting in French between man and woman, and then he opened the door and went out un needed and unheard.
 It was month later he saw madam again. She was at Sherry's with a party from the grand opera She wore the seal skin coat over gown oi lace. and to the admiring ones he heard her say in French: "Oh, yes but the duty on it was terrible, ter ible"

 The first time John Crawford saw her he thought of his sister. Not that the tieeting glance he had of her piQuant face was like Marie's, but tneTe was something to the bird-like set of her little head, her height, and the trimness of her slender, swaying Iorm, that carried him back to New iork, and the sister, and home.
 Though he was going in the oppo- ste direction when he came face to iace With her in the crowd. and caught hash Of brown eyes and red lips, ana noticed a crimson rose in her oiaeK hair under the rim of her black wque, he turned and followed her. one went so fast he could not catch " wilh her, swaying gracefully to ahe motion of the crowd. Suddenly uc iost her, and when he was trying ueclde what shop she could have en'ered she came out of a confection- 's with box in her hand he knew Aeiu oon bons. She looked him square In the face this time, and he .aught the outline of small, delicate '.a'ures' an oval face, and finely pen. s"eu orows above her flashing dark yves, under the fine gauge of com p'eAion veil. She entered cab, and e heard her give the order Hotel see'i' That was the last he saw of

ford took pride in seeing her wear it as if she had grown in it.
 "If had not promised it to Marie, would give it to her, it suits her so we'll" he told himself.
 Madam proved herself a coquette, Though she granted favors to none. she made many friends among both men and women. The greatest com pliment Crawford could exact from her was slight pressure of the hand when he said good night, or met her on deck in the morning. She never forgot the pressure, and she never failed to wear the seal skin coat. She said she was going to New York to meet her husband who sang the tenor in the coming grand opera season, and she was all impatience to see him again. But her smile to Crawford be- lied her protested impatience. While he would have given her his bank account if she had demanded 1t, he did not offer to give her the seal skin coat and only because he had written Marie about its beauty,
 At last, much too soon for Crawford, Ellis island was reached and madam walked aboard in the seal skin coat. She paid trifiing duty on some laces. while Crawford paid well for his trinkets. and thanked his lucky stars madam wore the seal skin coat.
 Another day, and the Majestic anchored in New York Madam wore the seal skin coat down the gang way, amid the admiring glances of passen- gers. crowds. and newspaper men. She asked for cab, and Crawford found her one.
 ITO the Netherlands" she said, and Crawford, with her permission, seat ed himself beside her. A half hour, and she had obtained suite of rooms, saying her husband would come within the hour
 Now for the coat, and I'll go,' said | Crawford.
 "Ze coat?" said madam. What eez l ze coat? ?"

 Crawford took it as joke anc laughed, but a feeling of uneasines: came over him. He ordered madam bottle of wine. and said to give hin the coat and he would go. But mad am protested she had no coat of his She had but three, an opera coat, black tailor-made. and seal skin ul ster all of which she could prove wer' her own.
 But. madam. my seal skin coat 10 my sister, It is mine." said Crawford beginning to see through madam

you a jolly fortune to get through the custom house on your side"
 Crawford shook out the rich folds of bronzed gold skin and looked 1t over thoughtfully. The duty had never occurred to him.
 Tell you what you do, old chap. Get some woman aboard to wear 1t, and pass it through on her back That's what I did once, crossing from France. I'd hev checked in If hadn't.
 It was a good idea. and Crawford took 1t to heart But the coat was made for such little waist, he won dered about It.
 Some men would rather cheat the government out of dollar than md $50 and Crawford happened to be one of them. Besides, his purse was getting slim.
 When he boarded the Majestic at Liverpool his keen eye singled out trim little figure, in close-htting tall ored black coat that touched her high heeled boots. She was leaning over the rail watching the passengers come aboard. and the wind gave him glimpse of white satin coat lining, a red cloth skirt. and pillows Of white lace close about silk clad ankles and patent leather boots With his brain awhirl he crossed the gang plank Small need to look twice to know It was she of the Hotel Cecil.
 She for Marie's coat he said to himself as he climbed aboard.
 He saw her again at table ahote, hut she sat at the farther end or the table from him. He tried to at tract her by his gaze, and just as she left the table she looked his way, and he saw smile that was like flash of pearl. and was gone. At least she had recognized him.
 That evening as the moon hung high and made shadows of opal on the waters that gently dashed the boat as it sped ahead like some great bird, he saw her leaning over the side oi the boat looking at the sky. Her req lures were so clear cut against the water, they seemed to be chiseled ol marble. the expression of her long dark eyes made him feel her thoughts were not of earth. while the soft wlno , blowing wisps of black hair across her cheek, gave her the appearance of a mythical goddess.
 An hour later he was talking to hel in the shadow of the grand salon while the music from the stringed or chestra floated to them amid the music of the sea.

Manicure II PACKING House.

keep clean the hands of the seventy
i've girls who pack Clipped beef, OK

es. The manicure has been given a
neat room, her table and accessories

man excuses one girl at a time, and
she goes to the platform and sits down
while the manicure works upon her,
keeping the nails trimmed and every
part Of the hand scrupulously clean.
Each one Of the seventy Five girls must
have her hands manicured once each
day. !. I.
