SUDDEN DEATH OF A LIFE LONG
 RESIDENT.

The death of Mary L. Banks, wife of Sherwood Banks, which occurred at her home late Monday night came as a severe shock to her numerous friends throughout the neighborhood. She had been in her usual health. which while not robust, enabled her to keep about her household duties. About o'clock Monday evening, she was suddenly seized by stroke of apoplexy and al- though a physician worked over her for hours, Mrs Banks failed to rally and expired at l a. m. So entirely un- expected was the attack and its fatal termination that the family were all most stunned by the suddenness of their terrible affliction. Next morning when the news spread about the vA- lage few could realize that she was in deed gone, that while in the midst of life, actively engaged in the. pursuit of her family duties she had been snatched away by the cold, relentless hand of Death. Mrs Banks was good neigh Dor, kindly dispositioned, passionately fond of home and family friends. For those she loved she was ever self sacri- fcing, no burden Ibeing too great for her to take up if it might only add to their comfort and happiness. The
 memory of her loving deeds will long finger with them. The vacant chair which no other can fill will bring to mind sad but tender recollections of a
 worthy life we'll spent. Deceased was the mother of six children, all living.
 They are Ada R., wife of R. F. Dun ham of Bridgeport, Anna M., wife of William Willis, also of Bridgeport,
 Clarence H., Frederick C., Clifford s.,
 and Miss Elva Banks, ali of Greenfield.

TWO AMERICANS
WERE POISONED
FATE OF TEACHER EVERETT AND
FORESTER WAKELEY IN PHI
LIPPTNES ASCERTAINED.

MANILA, July 1O.-On July 4 it was
that the remains of Teacher Everett
and Inspector Wakeley, of the fores-
try bureau were recovered, together
with those of their native companions,
in the mountains of Pomari, Negros.
Captain Ford, constabulary senior in
spector of Dumaguete, in reporting the
matter to headquarters yesterday by
wire stated that the murderer Ayhao
and followers made their escape. The
constabulary troops, which had been in
constant pursuit of the assassins and
in search of the remains of the ill
fated men, arrived at Bayauan, Negros,
on the night of the 7th, most of the
men being lame and in tatters, owing
to incessant downpours and flooded
rivers. Major Ahern, who will con-
duct the remains to Manila, is expected
to arrive here today or tomorrow.
1t is understood that the death of
Everett and Wakeley was brought
about through the poisoning of their
food by Ayhao, who is believed to be a
chief of one of the mountain tribes.
The poison used by this fend is be-
lieved to have been concocted of herbs
and to have caused his victims to die
a lingering death.

CHEAP IN
HONOLULU
RATES FOR WHARFAGE HERE
ARE LOWEST OF THE UNITED
STATES.

One of the most valuable assets
owned by the Territory is its wharv-
es. 1t may be a surprise to the local
people to know that Honolulu has
the cheapest wharfage rates to De
found anywhere in the United States.
In this harbor the charge made for a
vessel at a wharf is only two cents
per ton for twenty-four hours, while
in the majority of cities on the main
land the charge is at least five cents
per ton and toll for the merchandise
which passes over the wharf is also
charged.
In this line it is also well to note
that with this cheap rate the local
wharves pay we'll enough each year
to make full expenses, to pay TIE
pilots and harbor masters salaries
and besides this to leave a goodly
amount for needed extensions. The
total income from the HonolulG
wharves during the past fiscal year
was $5S,9S1.54.
1t is interesting to notice that the
receipts for the fiscal year ending
June ~, l9Ol, were larger Dy @o,UUO'
reaching the sum of $66,954.4S. 1t is
hard to say to what the falling off
is due.
The heaviest expenses are in the
salaries for the pilots and their boat
boys. There are three pilots at a
salary of 5000 per month, making
monthly total of 5000. Added to
this is the sum of $240 per month
for the salaries of the boat boys.
This make total of $10,08O per year.
The salaries of the harbor master
and his assistant, the one at $240 and
the other at $3.50 per month, make
another annual total of $4,6S0 per
year. This forms the principal item
of expense, the repairs being provid-
ed for out of a special appropriation
OF the Legislature.

GIRLS FATHER OBJECTS TO A
MAN WHO USED A FICTITIOUS
TITLE.

LOS ANGELES, July 31-Two weeks
ago N. e. Miller, wealthy Illinois
manufacturer, accompanied by HIS
daughter, Mrs. Florence Miller, a dash
ing widow of 80, arrived at a local
hotel for a months stay. Carl B. Marti,
a prepossessing young man from Chi
cago was staying at the same hotel and
he and the widow loved at first sight.
They soon became engaged, the pact
was sanctioned by Papa Miller and the
wedding invitations issued for today.
For an unknown reason, he says it was
merely Stiffness, Marti registered at the
hotel as Martin" and when Miller
heard yesterday from friends in Chi
cago to whom his intended son-in-law
had referred him as to his character
and standing, he demanded an explana-
ton of the superfiuous IN"
Nothing but complimentary informa-
ton regarding the young man came
from his references, but Miller has a
violent aversion to assumed names and
when the extra letter was not ex-
planned away to his satisfaction there
was an explosion and no wedding. The
young widow became hysterical but her
father is unmoved. Marti moved to
another hotel.

CIGARS IN
BUCKET
CHINESE FROM THE MANCHURIA
GETS INTO TROUBLE WITH
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES.

A Chinaman named Lum Poi Chang
was arrested on a Federal warrant
charging him with smuggling this
morning. He was taken into custody
last night by the local police and
turned over to the Federal authorities
by them. Lum Chang has been hold
ing a position as watercarrier for the
stevedores at the Hackfeld dock ana
in the course of his duties was carry'
ing \ bucket of drinking water on
board the Manchuria yesterday after
noon. One of the customs officers,
however, noticed that the bucket was
nearly as heavy when it came OFF the
ship as when it went on and made
an examination. 1t proved to be half
filled with cigars which had been
brought over from the Orient and
which were being brought ashore for
sale here.
When Lum Chang was searched at
the police station last night he prov
ed to be fairly wealthy. He carried
on his person a draft for $500 on a
bank in Hongkong, $40 in gold and
$50 in loose change. His wealA,
with the exception of the small sill
yer, was very cunningly concealed.
He wore belt around his abdomen,
to which was attached finely made
purse, containing his wealth. It will
probably come in handy in case he
is fined by Judge Dole, and he will
not be able to take the poor con-
vict's oath in case he is fined by the
Federal Judge.
