Evictina Corpses.

ut is bad enough to eyict live
people, but to eyict corpses does
seem hard"
"They never eyict corpses."
Don't they? You wouldn't say
that if you knew Porto Rico. In
the native cemeteries of Porto
Rico it is a common occurrence to
see a hard hearted landlord evict
with a shovel a corpse whose rent
has not been paid.
"You see, they don't sell lots il
those cemeteries. They only rent
them, and they who don't come
down with their annual rental
promptly are apt to suffer the NOR
LITIGATION and grief Of seeing their
dead turned out" - New Orleans

BERLIN RESTAURANTS.
They Are Divided Into Two Glasses,
Beer and No Beer.

They Are Divided Into Two Glasses,
Beer and No Beer.
The German likes his beer, as the
world has been taught to believe;
but, whether he likes or dislikes it,
the fact remains that he cannot get
it in the. fashionable restaurants OF
Berlin. If you go to so fine hotel
as the Bristol and there order beer
with your meal it may be that the
maitre d'hotel, purely from the
goodness of his heart, will send out
and get it for you, in which case it
will be brought to you in beautiful
little stone jug, and you will pay
for it FIVE times over. But if you
have the temerity to order your IA
vorite brew at such a restaurant as
Killers, in Inter den Linden, or
Der Reichshoff, in the Wilhelm
strasse, you viii come such copper
as did the American who asked for
plum pudding at the Cafe Richie, in
Paris.
"Monsieur," said the stately
maitre d'hotel on that occasion,
"this cafe has never served, does
not serve and never will serve plum
pudding
Not quite so bad as that in Berlin,
for if you are willing to first order
bottle of wine, which you may
drink or give to the waiter or put
in your pocket, as you please, you
will then be graciously permitted to
drink as much beer as you have a
taste for. If you are teetOtaler or
won't order wine, then you can get
neither food nor beer, and may the
devil take you for troubling them.
For this the Berhner has to thank
the wine trust, which controls the
fashionable establishments of the
city and has led to the significant
division Of all restaurants into two
classes-the "wine restaurants" and
the "beer restaurants. - Famous

Oriain Of the Maypole.

"May day ceremonies we're not in
origin a mere sign of rejoicing that
the leaves were on the trees again
and the flowers blooming once
more" says ]. Ernest Pythian in
bis "Trees in Nature, Myth and
Art" "They were religious obaery-
fances, believed to secure the bless
ings the spirit could bestow. The
spirit that inhabited the tree in
habited also the Maypole taken from
the tree, and the dance round the
Maypole was a religious ceremony.
The May queen and Jack-in-the-
green were in origin human forms
Of the tree spirit. The belief that
the Maypole insures fertility is not
yet extinct in Europe, and in some
parts of Germany on May day the
peasants set up May trees at the
doors of stable and cowbyre, tree
for each horse and COW, to insure
fertility and that the COWS will give
plenty of milk"

The Cotton Plant.

So far as we know, the cotton
plant originated in India, probably
in Mandalay. The earliest writings
of that country, dating back as far
as 600 B. G., speak Of the manufac-

speaks of "trees in India that bear
a white fleece like wool" He had

Claudine on his way northwards to
Kahului, sighted the yachts and
brought confirmation of Mr.. Dowsett s
observation. The third boat was
proved to be the Gwendolyn later on
when the Claudine passed another yawl
which was evidently the Lady Maud by
her high freeboard and buff bulwarks.
Two yachts were not sighted by any
of the people aboard the Claudine or on
the Island of Maui. They were the
Lurline and the Gladys. The former
was probably too far out to sea to be
sighted, and the Gladys must have run
into dead calm somewhere by keep
ing too close to shore in the hopes of
getting local puffs to carry her along

thirty last night, as the Advertiser
would not ask the operators to stay up
late after keeping watch practically
all night the night before. The de-
spatch from Mr.. auckland is conclu-
sive enough, and we may feel assured
that, if there be no unexpected acct
dents, the Kamehameha finished sec
ond, the Hawaii third, the Gwendolyn
fourth, the Lady Maud fifth, and the
Gladys sixth.
1t has been great disappointment
that the Hawaii could not win this
race, but there is great comfort in the
knowledge that she did so much better
in light winds than she has ever done
before When the yachtsmen return
from H;lo we may expect to hear of
some pretty little brushes and luffing
matches between the different yachts,
and the story of this race win be we'll
worth reading.
NO BUYER FOR THE HAWAII.
The Hawaii has conclusively proved
her usefulness as fast cruiser and
one that is wonderfully seaworthy and
comfortable. She has proved her speed
in heavy weather by reaching San
Pedro in record time, she proved her
seagoing comfort ON the return trip
seaging comfort on the return trip
when running before the wind, and she
has now shown that she has fair speed
in light wind by making it hard for
the sloop Kamehameha.
There was report in an afternoon
paper to the effect that Colonel Sam
Parker was going to buy her. The
Colonel denied this. however, stating
that it was all joke. 81 will say,

report that was going to buy her

torist and a prominent aeronart, is or
ganizing here the American aerial navi
eating company, the first aerial naviga
ton company in America, which prob
ably will be incorporated in this State.
The company will manufacture and
operate Il trial device and establish
aerial routes for the transportation of
passengers and freight for sporting pur-
poses in the United States, Canada and
Mexico.
Glidden anticipates that within the
next eighteen months the new company
will be carrying passengers and mers
chandise by the tair line' between
Boston and New York, either by diri-
gible balloon or aoroplane. He believes
that with relay stations near Spring
field and New Haven this trip can be
made 800 days an the year. The first
experiments will be made with small
dirigible balloons carrying one or tvs
passengers in addition to the operative.
Mr.. Glidden visited Honolulu about

Paddy Ryan courteously corrects an
apparent misstatement in yesterday Is
Advertiser. In speaking of the Ket-
chel- Kelly fight tonight, the article in
question spoke of Mike (Twin) Sulli-
van as fighting at hundred and forty
eight pounds and claiming that it was
for the welterweight championship.
Mr.. Ryan very properly points out that
Mike was always able TO make hum
bred and forty-two ringside and that
he fought at higher published weight
only because his opponents would not
come down. Mike has always been
more of heavy lightweight than
weller, and, once, even made hun
bred and thirty-three for Cans. We
take pleasure in correcting this state
ment and explaining that no asper-
sions on Mixes capabilities to fight at
the weller limit were intended.
