MYSTERY
OF JAMES
WOMAN ANXIOUSLY SEEKING
CKEEN"-REPORT OF HIS
DEATH ABROAD.

A recent San Francisco paper coz
tains the following notice which will
start the Honolulu waterfront guess
ing:
"A lady of this city is anXiously seek
ing the whereabouts of Captain j. f.
James, better known as "Stickeen," ia
nous on the San Francisco and San
Pedro waterfronts and for several
years the philosopher of the Honolulu
waterfront. If any one sees this who
knows the whereabouts of "Stickeen, "
John F. James, they will confer favor
by communicating with Frank Wilbur
ton, Honolulu"
Frank Wilburton, of this city, in the
last mail from San Francisco, received
the above clipping pasted to a letter
from his old friend j. G. Hitchfeld OF
San Francisco.
This was the first Wilburton knew
of the notice in the San Francisco
paper. He was not the cause of It's
insertion, he says.
Hitchfields note, dated July 2, Mo-
hawk Hotel, East street, says: Il re-
member distinctly seeing the account
of the death of the above, quite while
ago, but l can't say just when. He
used to edit paper on the waterfront
here"
James is well known here, having
been five or six years on the Honolulu
waterfront and he has many friends in
Honolulu with some of whom up to a
few months ago he was correspond
ing.
He led an adventurous life and was
about 20 years of age. He has been
sailor, soldier, filibuster, scout, guide,
miner, engineer, teacher, editor, lee
turer, socialist, pathfinder. reformer,
cook, painter. carpenter, doctor, sail
ing master, preacher, captain, fisher
man, hunter, boatbuilder and philoso-
pher. He has dined with Presidents
and Governors, planned the capture OF
Lower California, fought in Indian
wars, been wrecked seven times and
married five times, edited six water
front papers, run a fish-market, con-
Quoted a campaign, shot his man in
Frisco riots a generation ago and has
served his term at San Quentin for
lampooning reformer in Los Angeles
who was doing what he was supposed
to be trying to reform, so James al
legged.
Who the lady may be who is inquir-
ing is not known and Frank Wilbur
ton, as before stated, knows nothing of
the San Francisco papers notice.
The notice may be a trick of some
acquaintance of James and he may not
be missing or dead. There are those
here who do not believe he has died.
James always believed that he was a
re-incarnated viking. He certainly
had the characteristics of such an adj
venturer.

WISE DEFENDS
HILO PLAYERS

HILO, AUGUST 19.-"My friend
Charlie Falk, of the Honolulu Baseball
League" said Mr. Wise, president OF
the Hilo League yesterday, seems
very much incensed at us and as it
appears to me, without good cause.
"Hilo never looked for a cent out of
the game that Falk proposed for u.s.
We offered our services, the balls, bats
and anything else that we had, letting
the visitors come here and make every
thing they could after paying the ex-
penses which would amount to about
SIS.
when the Santa Claras did arrive
here, we found they did not want to
play. There was nothing in it for
them. Any profits would have gone to
the Honolulu League helping to pay
/ for the trip to the Volcano which had
| been promised the visitors, and the
cost of which Mr.. Falk was trying to
make Hilo put up
at the time the arrangement was
made for the Santa Clara team to
come to Hawaii, nothing was said, so
far as / know of any game or series
of games to be played in HiIo. We
were not asked to join in the matter
in any way, But at the last minute
we were expected to work up game
in the middle of the week, either on
Wednesday few hours after the visi-
| tors landed from the steamer, or on
Thursday afternoon after they haA
travelled to and from the volcano IN
20 hours and probably not been to bed.
On both these days the business peo-
pie here are attending to their Mauna
Kea mail and very few, if any, would
have shut up shop for either after
noon.
Honolulu may fling M. U. DIFF it
wishes to but, so far, none has reached
here. Probably it has besmeared the
singers. 1t seems to me, and l think
l am speaking for all Hilo baseball
players, that Mr.. Falk has done a par
ticularly mean thing in a particularly
mean way. And We have the pleasure
OF knowing that his sentiments are nc,
endorsed by very many baseball play
ers of Honolulu who have written us
to that effect in the mail arriving to-
day. Hawaii Herald

In woman, and I've known a few.

To say all that She wished to say.

Of talking in her soundest sleep.

THE FLEET MOVEMENT.

The New York Herald prints the following possible e
ing OF the American fleet in the Pacific:
Among many officers Of the Atlantic fleet there is an in
dehnabe idea that the baeshps may be withdrawn from
the Pacific early contemplated by announced itinerary
which schedules the arrival Hampton Roads on February
22 1900 Investigation fails reveal any definite basis for
this belief On the flagship it is stated that preparations are
being made for the whole distance home
The idea that the fleet remain in the Far East longer
than the month of target practice following their arrival at Ma
Mia on November spring from deductions that the
international situation will be such that the retention of pre-
Ponderan American force in the Pacific will be good dpo-
matte policy FS
Sentiment on the Pacific coast particularly here Is strong
