Luka is Floating Palace.

Captain Miller, who bought the
schooner Luka about year ago, has
her fitted up in elegant stvle. In her
interior furnishings the Luka far and
away surpasses the decorations of the
yacht Lady, which was wrecked some
time ago by the duo of pirate'soldier-
deserters. At the time Captain Miller
purchased the trim little vessel Luka,
he took about thirty tons of pig iron
out of her hold, and put in cement
ballast instead. Now, as decided in.
novation, he has cement floor for his
whitewinged palace. All of the int.

of the Luka are of Hawaiian koa,

TO MISSIONARIES DESCENDANTS

The following is from the Nippu Jill

the descendants of missionaries-the
capitalists, who live in beautiful man

capitalists of Hawaii are the descend
ants of missionaries who came to Ha-
waii to teach the gospel of Jesus and
preach humanity. The wealth that was
inherited by these capitalists was not
intended to be spent in leading the life
of luxury and pomp. Neither was it

NOBODY KNOWS
WHAT IS BEING DONE

Auditor Bcknell and his assistants
were busy yesterday getting out the
salary and pay warrants authorized by
the Board of Supervisors, countersigned
by the Mayor, o. KID by the City
Attorney, signed and delivered by the
City Clerk and passed up to him. He
is getting the warrants ready, but that
is no sign that he is going to sign
to have them on hand. along with but
separated from the ones authorized last
night and the ones that will be author
lied again at the middle of next month,
and so on until someone gets the matter
before the courts and there is decision
rendered. Around the city Offices no
one knows when anyone is going to be
paid and no one in position to give
an opinion will.
81 lost eleven fifty three years ago
by paying an unlawful warrant,' said
the Auditor yesterday afternoon, "and
i tried to get the Supervisors to make
it up for me, but they wouldn't. l
haven't forgotten that eleven fifty and

money follow it,.

rants is made, you will refuse it theni'

looking that up for me-, f" said the
cautious official.

into court, if it gets there?"

81 don't know. All / recollect now
is that l saw the last of eleven fifty

The state of mind of the Auditor
yesterday was very much the same as
that of the other city officials. They
were all in the 81 don't knowp frame
of mind.
The Mayor confessed that he didn It
know. sit is up to the Auditor and
the members of the Board" he said,
"although if you ask them they will
probably say that it is up to me-"
The Mayor was busy experimenting
the hanging of enlarged photographs of
the members of the last County Board
of Supervisors, which are to decorate
the outer room of his office suite. In
his sanctum he has a large portrait of
himself, set in background OF ferns
of the maidenhair variety, the walls
of the inner room being otherwise un-
garnished.
The City Clerk professed the deepest
Ignorance of the status of the situation.
Even the secretary of the Mayor was
unable to see any short cuts to the
money bags.
The fixed salaries, those of the Mayor
and Supervisors, the elected officers and
those mentioned in the law, such as
the secretary of the Mayor, will all be
paid promptly at the end of the mouth.
Under these circumatances, possibly,
there is no particular reason for the
powers to worry about hurrying up the
other matter of the pay of the appoint
ed employees.
In the meanwhile Johnny Wilson and |
his crew are still holding down what |
they think are jobs and will press along
with the throng for their divvy out of |
the public purse.

How Crawford's appointment could

The City Clerk reminded the board
that the fire insurance policy on the

last policy was one of $4,000 with the
Norwich Insurance company. There

Peary 10 Hunt-A Good Writer
and Story-TeiIer.

New Haven Conn.-"What sort OF
man is Harry Whitney," This is
the question that is being asked OF
every New Havenite, man, woman or
child, who ventures into the zone OF
the COOk-Peary polar controversy. To
reply to it accurately is a matter of
more than word or two.
Harry Whitney has had an inter
esting career The quiet sportsman
he has been called, for his adventures
have been enjoyed and suffered with
out press notices, except when they
could not be avoided. The world has
been the theater of his exploits, and
the arctic regions were about the last
section of the globe left for him to
visit when he joined the Peary party
1t is not commonly known that when
Whitney decided to become member
Of the Peary party half dozen other
wealthy clubmen agreed to take the
trip. There was no individual scheme
on his part to join in the dash for the
pole, but an agreement reached by
clubmen, probably in a New York
club, after tales of previous adven
lures had been exchanged and the
view taken that the world seemed to
be growing tame. Frank Carnegie was
one of the party who agreed to take
part in the expedition. He is nephew
of Andrew Carnegie and his plans were
vetoed as soon as they were men
toned at home. Indeed, veto was
uttered upon all those of the party
except Whitney, whose step-mothers
wish did not dissuade him from his
scheme.
Whitney left on the Roosevelt, which
sailed from New Bedford July 9, 1908
He went to New Bedford some time
before the party left there and had
two neat power boats built there. OF
