PINEAPPLES SAFE
Secretary Mcclellan cabled from
Washington yesterday to the effect
that the conference committee had
adopted the House provisions in re-
gard to canned and fresh pineapples.
In explanation of the new status of
the matter as thus brought about T.
Fl. Petrie, secretary of the Hawaiian
Pineapple Growers Association, says:
The rate prevailing before the pre-
ent revision of the tariff, and included
in the schedule of duties, and compris-
ing what is known as the Dingley tar
iff, was, on fresh pineapples in barrels
or other packages, Z cents per cubic
foot, and 81 per M in bulk; on canned
pineapples, preserved in their own
juices, rs per cent ad valorem, and,
preserved in sugar l cent per pound,
and 30 per cent ad valorem. The rate
as provided in the Payne bill, and
which finally prevailed in conference
and which will undoubtedly become
law, is, on fresh pineaples in barrels
and other packages, or in bulk, So per
NJ straight; and, on canned pineapples,
if preserved in sugar to any extent,
cent per pound, and 35 per cent ad va
loren; if preserved in their own
juices without the addition of sugar,
25 per cent ad valorem straight. In
the instance of the fresh pineapples,
with reference particularly to the
Dingley rate of cents per cubic foot,
it is estimated that the comparative
duty on this item would be 81 so per
M as against the rate, in the Payne
Bill, of IS, which is a marked advant-
age, although not affecting to any
great extent our interests at present.
CASH TO BANKS.
Treasurer Conkling yesterday de-
posted the sum of $4,000 from the
Territorial governments sinking fund
in four different banks as provided
for by law. The money, which is a
special deposit, was divided as fol-

July is admittedly the dullest month

The results will undoubtedly be

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Probably the most interesting hap
pening in plantation circles during the
week was the announcement that the
dividend of Waialua plantation would
be increased from IL to ga per cent.
This, coupled with the satisfactory

poets for the future, had the effect
of sending Waialua skyward sales of
stock being readily made at 500 and
the demand strong. On top of this
good news from Waialua, came the
announcement from Eva of an extra
dividend of 2 per cent in August, MAX
ing total of three per cent for that
month. Coupled with these two an
noUncements came a further one that
while the dividend of Oahu would not,
be so large as in the past, it would not
be forced so low as had been antici-
pated This had the effect of streng-
thening Oahu and the stock started

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS MURDER
[sneciaI to The sentlnel.l

Chicago, July 16.-In some of its
aspects the findings of the body of
Miss Mamie Davey of this city. float
ing in the water of Klinger lake. near
Sturgis, Mich, suggests there may
be Il western parallel to the tragic
fate of Billy Brown in Big Moose
lake in the Adirondacks
Claude Hunt, a young farmer who
had gone for row with Miss Davey
in a small boat, has not been found
dead or alive Did he die with the
girl. or did he escape to the shore
and hide himself? Upon the final
answer to these questions much de-
pends in the solution of a case which
at present bears many elements OF
mystery.
Physicians who examined the body
of the girl shortly after it was taken
from the water say there was no wa
ter in the girls lungs, and that she
died of extreme fright. That would
seem to Indicate that she had died
in the boat.
Granting that was the place of
death, what was the cause, and how
did the girls escort leave the boat ?
He might have jumped into the water
to save the girl from suicide, but the
absence of water in the lungs seems
to combat that story.
The fact that the boat was found
anchored, suggests it might thus
have been cared for by Hunt. Ii
Hunt anchored the boat, the police
point out, he either followed the girl
to death by his own hand, was murd-
cred and thrown into the water, or
deliberately left the place and dis
appeared.
Careful dragging of the lake near
where the girls body was found fail
ed to bring that of Hunt to the sur
face. Belief that his body lies in the
lake has not been relinquished. I'm
til every hope of recovery of his body
is given up, his friends cling tenac-
iously to the theory that he in some
way lost his life in an heroic effort
to save Miss Davey.
Hunt was refused a boat when he
applied for one AT the request of Miss
Davey. The boatmaster gave as his
| reason for the denial that he did not
consider Hunt sufficiently expert with
the oars to be entrusted to escort a
young woman out upon the water. He
thought the young man had been
drinking. Later the two found a
boat at another place, and went for a
ride.

tary John j. Tobin of the Uncom-

though she loathed the creature she

One day Mrs. Freeman was planting
flower seed in small patch OF spaded

seeds. When the planting came his
curiosity grew as the work progressed.

found each one alike in taste-and not

border in blue and red around it. Sta
tionery was thus decorated in those
war days. He had been wounded
slightly in the shoulder and must go
to the hospital. He wanted to write
to his darling child himself, so that
If his name appeared among the
wounded or killed in the daily papers
l might know the truth. While he
wrote a large smooth chip of wood
served for his writing desk and his
back was braced against the huge for
est tree from which the chip had been
cut by some woodsman when the bat
tie began. This friendly tree protected
him as he wrote from the bullets,
which were still flying, although the
tide of battle had turned in favor of
the union.
My father did not write how he had
received the wound, but learned aft
erward. During the fight-indeed. at
the crisis-a standard bearer was shot
through the head and he fell to the
ground, bearing down the flag with
the staff broken in twain. My father,
standing near, saw it fall, and rushing
to the spot raised the flag and carried
it with both hands high as his arms
could reach onward to the thickest Of
the fight. The regiment rallied and
followed with all speed, and. alas!
was cut to pieces.
My fathers cap was shot from his

That impressed me greatly-the fact
that my father had risked his life to
keep that flag aloft. Surely l thought
in my childish brain, as I tried to
reason it all out, it must be something
very, very great, and 1t would be a
very, very wicked little girl or boy
who could ever see that noble banner
and fail to salute it.
At that time it was not customary,
and few ever did it. Now it is gener-
ally observed; the only question
raised is, What particular way is the
best? l have seen many different
forms of salute, and have read of many
others, but to my mind there is none
sweeter nor quainter than the one
employed by noble old lady and a
little child, bowling low from the
waist, with the right hand Just raised
to the forehead. then brought down
to the right side in grateful and loving
salute to the greatest Of all flags
