 VALUABLE ART TREASURES

New York, May 27.-While Thomas Shields Clark the son of the late Mrs. Elizabeth S. Potter, widow of Bishop Henry c. Potter, was in Paris last winter, thieves got into his home, at 50 Riverside Drive, and carried off nearly s1O, 900 worth of art treasures, jewelry, valuable antique bronzes, ornaments, silverware and wearing apparel.
 The police kept the robbery quiet, and the facts have only come out through the knowledge that MT. Clark has had installed in his home an elab- crate system of burglar alarms and protective blinds to foil any future at- tempts at robbery. Part. of the loot, in fact nearly half of it, has teen re- crvere6

President himself is confident that the budget is not excessive, despite the fact that it is s6,000,OO0 heavier than that of the current year. The increase is necessary, the President says in his message, by reason of the unfinished contracts made by former Governor General Magoon. New sources of rev.
 enue, including an estimated $2,O00, ,000 from the National lottery, are count ed on to meet the budget.

MAKE ENTRIES
IN DUE FORM

The various committees of the Flor
al Parade are having trouble to get
people who intend to take part in the
big Washington's Birthday pageant, to
make their entries in due form. A
good many seem to think that they
are expected to tell the plans of their
decorations, and as almost everybody
is guarding their ideas most jealous
ly, they are holding off registering.
]. M. Dowsett, of the automobile
committee declared this morning that
he wouldn't listen to any description
of the various entries, no matter how
hard anyone wants to tell him his
plans. All he wants is the knowledge
that they are going to take part.
I'VE know that we are going to
have a parade that will be a record
breaker in size" he said this morn
ing, "And for that very reason it is
necessary to know about the entries
in order to avoid confusion"

THE SHERIDAN
BRINGS MANY

The U. s. transport Sheridan arriv-
ed off port at 1922 last night and
came in to the Oceanic wharf at 1880
this morning. Upon docking she was
exactly seven days, IL hours and 81
minutes from the wharf at San Fran
cisco The Sheridan will make long
stay in port, sailing for Guam at 5
p. M Monday.
The time the Sheridan proved her
self to be almost an old-time Homo
lulu boat" The bulk of her freight
many of her passengers and big lot
of mail are for this port OF freight
she brought 452 tons, consisting Of
supplies for the cavalry and the army
forces located here. AS much of this
is light stuff, considerable time will
be taken to discharge It.
Her next important item was the
mail, nearly five days, and consisting
of 452 bags and packages. This is
an unusually large lot for so short a
period.
Next, but not least, was her list of
passengers, consisting of 26 first class,
even second class and % steerage for
Honolulu. In addition she has six pas
sengers for Guam. For Manila are
IS first class passengers, 81 second
class and 10 Storage (soldier).
The Sheridan had a very mean trip
of it. While no particular storm was
met with, the weather was bad most
of the way, and the passel gers felt
really glad when Oahu was sighted
last night.
One man aboard the Sheridan is F.
}. Dougherty, a brother of lanes
Dougherty of Wichman & Co.'s He
is quartermaster's clerk aboard the
transport, and is jolly, good fellow.
Among the passengers for Honolulu
the following are of note: DR.. Geo
II. Cassaday, dentist, is accompan-
led by his wife and two children. Mrs,
Day and Mrs. Cunningham are wives
OF the Cavalry officers. Captain G. w.
EXton comes to join the goth Infan-
try at Fort Shafter Lieutenant J. X.
Hume joins the 5th Cavalry at Leile-
hua. Capt. A. T. Mark Joins the ma
rine corps here.
G. E. Southworth is a local engi-
neer. Lieutenant-Colonel G. C. Wood
ward is an inspector-general of the
army and is here on army business.
Captain o. w. Orwell is the we'll
known head of the engineers depart
ment here. Captain S. P. McAllister
is a retired army officer. He is ac-
companied by his wife and may re-
main in Honolulu for several months.
Other Honolulu people are: ]. B.
Haney, of the local Engineers corps,
accompanied by his wife; Mrs. e. R.
Moves, mother of Frederick G.. Noyes,
of the Custom House, and George H.

set to work as soon as the vessel dock
ed, discharging her large cargo of

PUNAHOU PLAYS

plays given by the Punahou Dramatic
Cub for several years past are look
ing forward with anticipation to the
plays which they are to give on Feb
90 The one act comedy Miss Civiliz-
alton" by Richard Harding Davis is a
first class burglar scene, where a lady
outwits three burglars and causes their
capture by her strategy. This play is
very amusing and promises to be
something out of the usual, and will
be the curtain raiser.
The "Romancers" by Edmond Rose
tand is a love scene in three acts, and
is a very clever play. Two fathers,
one of a son and the other of daugh-
ter wish to marry their children, and
do so by forbidding them to see each
other, and pretending to be old enc
mics. OF course the children do not
take long to make love to each 9TH
er, and after few exciting incidents
they are made happy and the plan is
carried out successfully.

known as having distinguished them
selves previously, and the people will

GIRL OBTAINS
THE SHERIDAN
CARRIED OUT INTO STREAM,
TAKES FRIGHT AT A LADDER
AND HANGS IN MIDAIR.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 6.-The
Sheridan carried an unlisted passenger
out as far as hundred yards or So
yesterday, before the fact was discov-
cred.
Though the young lady was at the
transport dock with many of the smart
set, to see friends away for Manila her
name has not been detected.
After the call for passengers ashore
the Sheridan proceeded into the stream
with many hundred eyes following her,
and the vision of flying handkershiefs
and the vision of flying handkerchiefs
before great megaphone from the
transport announced a supertuous pas
senger and called for the Slocum, the
government tug.
The latter, lying off the bow of the
Logan, loosened and proceeded to the
transport, which let down its LADDER
and carefully deposited thereon a
young woman fashionably gowned in
tan cloth. Great excitement ensued
when fright overcame the girl in the
middle of her descent and she hung
midway for some moments, being able
to go neither up nor down.
Finally, by the urging of those above
her and the encouraging of those below
her on the tug, she boarded the latter
and was brought to shore safely, but
very pale and chagrined at her adven-
ture. She stoutly refused her name to
all inquirers.
