= WOMAN'S WIT.
II Served Her Well When the Stage
coach HoIdup Came.

A good illustration of the quick wit
of a woman appears in the following
incident of the old coaching days of the
far west The man of the tale does not
show off in the best of lights and did
not deserve his reward. The coach
was on its way over a lonely road and
carried among its passengers a lady
going to join her husband and a man
travelling by himself.
Il have 1000 in my pocketbook,"
confided the lone traveller to the lady
land l feel very uneasy. Would you
mind concealing it in your dress? If
we are held up they are less likely to
scarce you"
The lady consented and hid the roll
of bills. Toward evening the shout of
Throw up your hands," brought the
coach to standstill, and four men,
masked and on horseback, demanded
at the point of the pistol that all money
should be Immediately given up. The
lone traveller passed over all his re-
naming cash, consisting of n few dol
lars, and was congratulating himself
on his escape when, to his horror, he
heard the lady say:
II have a thousand dollars here, but
l suppose I must give it up" And
without further hesitation she handed
over the precious pile of greenbacks.
The robbers rode off in high good hui
NOR, but as soon as they were gone the
traveller let loose his wrath. He abused
the. lady in no measured terms and
hardly. stopped short of calling her a
coward The accused said little, but
when the end of the journey was reach
ed she invited the angry man to her
house.

PAIN AND PLEASURE.
Tho Sensations That Come When q
Person Is Hanged.

Person Is Hanged.
This is the way Rev. ]. T. Mann In
Spare Moments describes the way IL
feels to be hanged:
At Fort Barrancas, Fla, ON April 4.
1868, l was hanged as Confederate
spy. ! spent four minutes physically
and spiritually between earth and
heaven. Then a Yankee sergeant, be
lieving me to be the wrong man, cut
me down.
My first sensation when the barrel
was kicked from under my feet was
that steam boiler inside me was
about to explode. Every vein and
blood vessel to and from my heart
seemed charged with an oppressive
fullness that must find an avenue of
escape. The nervous system through
out it's length was tingling with a
painful pricking sensation the like of
which l never felt before or since
Then followed the sense of an explo-
sion. as if a volcano had erupted. This
seemed to give me relief, and the pain
gave way to a pleasurable feeling, one
very desirable could it be secured with
out death. With this sensation light
broke in upon my sight light of
milky wilderness, yet, strange to say,
so transparent that it was easier to
pierce with the eye than the light of
day. Then came into my mouth a
taste of sweetness the like of which ]
have never since known. And l felt
myself moving on, with conscious
ness of leaving everything behind.
Then I heard the sweetest music, and
it seemed that more than a thousand
harps led in each part, accompanied by
myriads of voices.
And the sensation of coming back to
life after / had been cut down was
just as painful as the first feeling Of
hanging. 1t was acute torture. Every
nerve seemed to have a pain Of its
own. My nose and fingers We're seats
OF the most excruciating agony. In
half an hour the pain was all gone, but
would not go through the experience
again for the wealth Of the Indies

The Persian Crows Beak.

There is weapon known as the
crows beak which was formerly much
in use among men of rank in Persia
and north India. 1t was a horseman's
weapon and consisted of a broad
curved dagger blade fixed at right
angles to a shaft, pickax fashion. The
shaft incloses a dagger. unscrewing at
the butt end. This concealed dagger
is very common feature Of Indian
arms and especially of the battle axes
of Persia.

Grand Time
FOR FLEET
FIVE LODGES OF ODD FELLOWS
COMBINE TO GIVE A GRAND
ENTERTAINMENT.

The five local lodges of the Odd Eel
lows of Honolulu are preparing for a
grand entertainment for the Odd Eel
lows who will be on board the Pacific
fleet, which is due to arrive in this
city in about ten days. The follow
ing joint committee from all the local
lodges has charge of the matter ana
Saturday evening, September 5, has
been chosen for the date: e. r. Hen
dry, Past Grand, chairman; c. A.
Simpson, Past Grand, secretary; c. T.
Rodgers, F. D. Wicke, C. A. Bidinger,
G. w. Patty, M. W. Tschudi, L. w.
Branch, W. Gehring, Mrs Wicke, Mrs.
Bidinger, Miss Annie Macaulay, Mrs.
Simonton, Mrs. Williams and Mrs An
ME Gribble.
The entire Odd Fellows building,
with the exception of the street floor,
will be used for the occasion. On the
second floor there will be games for
the children which will be looked after
by the ladies on the committee. The
ladies will also have charge of the
third floor, where the hall will be
used for cards and where the refresh
ments will also be served. The fourth
floor where the roof garden is, will be
used for dancing and the floor has just
been newly oiled and placed in the
finest of condition for the tripping of
tho 1frh 70 nj Ono nf tho host
quintets in the city will furnish music
and all the Odd Fellows in the fleet
who care to dance will be able to find
partners among the local ladies who
will be present. This part of the, work
will be under the direct supervision of
c. A. Simpson.
A meeting of the joint committee
from the five lodges was held last
night at which the details were talked
over and it was decided to make the
occasion one which will be long re-
membered by both the local Odd Eel
lows and the members of the order
who are on the Pacific fleet. The
| members of the committee are now
hard at work perfecting their plans
A special effort will be made to enter
tain the children of the Odd Fellows
This is for two reasons. First for
the children themselves and then also
for the sailors, who like a chance to
see the little ones. whom they come
in contact with so seldom, enjoying
good time.

WHITES
IN FIRST

In the long race of the ships Atlas,
Edward Sewall and Astral from these
islands to Delaware Breakwater with
esugar cargoes, in which the Atlas
won, 100 days, the victory mayl be
accredited to some extent, perhaps, TO
the fact that the Atlas was manned
by a crew of whate men.
The crew of the Edward Sewall,
which was beaten several days by the
Atlas, was made up of both whote
men and Japanese. while the crew Of
the Astral which has not yet been
reported was entirely Japanese.
The triumph of the Atlas, of course
was due largely to the fact that she
had just come off the drydock and was
when she left this Territory, as clean
as pin.

EXTRA BAGGAGE
RULE CHANGED

After a somewhat costly experience
DR.. M. e. Grossman wishes to give
caution to travellers hence who are
going to make rail journeys on the
mainland and return to these islands.
Formerly travellers bound for Ha-
wall we're allowed on railway lines an
excess of $50 pounds of free baggage.
Now it is supposed from some ruling
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, this privilege can be obtained
only on the showing of return tickets
from these islands. At all events TIr.
Grossman, on coming home from the
Shriner's Conclaye at Minneapolis,
found his allowance of excess baggage
limited to $50 pounds. 1t cost him
over 1872 to acquire the knowledge
qualifying him to warn his fellow citi-
zens of Hawaii. Through return rail-
road tickets to all points can be OBJ
tanned al the steamship agencies here
for the same rates as In San Francisco

CLAIMANT WRITES

Governor Frear has received a let
ter from H. w. Mathews, of Orange,
New Jersey, applying for the sum OF
$176.25, which was deposited in the
old Postal Savings Bank by his son
years ago and which is now available
through an act of Congress passed at
the last session. The son is now dead,
leaving his father as the only heir.
This is the largest of all the amounts
which are awaiting owners and those
interested should hurry. The act OF
Congress provides that the claims
shall be payable up to May, 1910, after
which date the money remaining shall
go to the Territory and shall be used
toward the payment Of the public
debt.
