MAKING ,E,l LOOK LIKE MuMMIEs.

The latest thing in woman's dress
has been sprung at the third National
Style Show. now in progress under the
auspices of the Ladies' Tailors' Assoc 1
ciat.on at the Hotel Aston, in New
York. Ut is called the Spool Gown,
and is regarded as the most attrac-
tive of the numerous remarkable con-
fections at the Show. 1t consists
mainly of "a belt, a long strip OF SILK
which is wound about the figure after
the frock is put on. 1t doesn't matter
so much about the frock. If there be
enough silk in the belt to complete
the winding.
From the descriptions of the thing,
the suggestion probably came from
the mummies of the better class, all
of which appear to have been wrapped

BOTH VICTIMS OF
DUEL REST EASIER
Driver Had Been Practising at
Pearl Harbor for Bloody
Encounter.
(From Sundays Advertiser,)

Still in the same condition as they
were the evening after the shooting,
V. c. Driver and William McQuaid. the
principals in the pistol duel Friday
morning, are being treated at the
Queens Hospital. The wounds of
neither man have yet developed to a
point where the attending physicians
can speak with certainty of the chances
of either for life.
1t is not believed that the bullet
which Driver received in his back
severed the intestine. If this is the
case, the, wound does not present any
dangerous features.
1t was learned yesterday that Driver
has been practising revolver shooting
steadily at Pearl Harbor, where he
spent most of his time as government
inspector of dredging there. Workmen
on the dredgers and his fellow inspec-
tors all saw him shooting at targets in
the water and on land and say that he
exhibited a fair degree of marksman-
ship.
When questioned, he said that he was
practising to become good shot. The
gun he used was the same which is now
in the evidence safe of the police de-
partment ready to be brought against
him at his trial, whatever charge he
happens to be brought up on.
1t is a curious coincidence that many
years ago an identical shooting scrape
occurred at the same place and over an
exactly similar quarrel. The shooting
was between two men named Patton
and Bridges, the latter firing the first
shot as did McQuaid on the morning of
last Friday.
Bridges had married a daughter of
a Mrs Horne, who ran bakery in the
city, and after his marriage questioned
the relations between his wife and Pat
ton, claiming that she had been too free
with him both before and after she was
married.
Patton was warned to end his atten-
tions to Mrs. Bridges, refused, and CON
sequently got shot. Murray Gibson,
former premier under the moarchy, and
a number of other prominent men were
witnesses.

SURGEONS FIND
YELLOW FEVER
HOngkong Maru From Mexico
Had Case OF the Dread
Disease Aboard.
(Fron saturdays Advortiser.)

Yellow fever on the T. X. X. S. S.
Hongkong Maru is the decision of the
federal quarantine officials. The prog.
ress of the case of fever on board has
been closely watched by residents of
Honolulu generally, but they were 10th
TO believe that the dreaded, easily spread
disease was almost in their midst.
The value of strict and drastic quar-
antiue regulations were never better
Illustrated than in the case of the Hong
kong Mau which was ordered into
quarantine outside the harbor upon her
arrival from Manzanillo, Mexico, last
Sunday morning.
The initial inspection of the steamer
by Doctor Sinclair, and his indicating
the necessity of taking every preeau-
ton, was followed by consultation
with his chief, with a result that both
agreed the vessel should not be give
pratique. After having the fever pa:
tient under observation for several
days Doctors Ramus, James, Marshall,
Sinclair, Hobby, together with Surgeon
Smith OF the naval station pronounced
the case yellow fever.
The steamer will continue to lie out
side.
y case of yellow fever aboard the
British 5. S. Henley, which was recently
in Honolulu harbor, was discovered
while the vessel was at San Pedro. Doc.
tor Ramus has been advised by cable
that the patient has since died at Vic
toria. The san Pedro dispatch fol-
lows:
SAN PEDRO, October 23.-Her chief
engineer suffering from supposed at
tack of yellow fever, the British tramp
steamer Henley, Captain Bratten, bound
from Salima Cruz for Victoria, put into
this port today seeking medical aid.
There being no quarantine facilities
here, Quarantine Officer w. A. Weldon
examined the patient and ordered the
vessel to proceed 70 San Francisco. He
is notifying the quarantine officers there
of the circumstances Local officials
are exercised over the lack of facilities
to handle such cases, and the ordering
away of ship with a supposed malig-
nant disease aboard caused adverse
comment, but Doctor Weldon had no
alternative
Since the United States government
acquired control of the canal zone,
there have been few cases of yellow
fever, and lately there has been none
at all along the entire Pacific Coast.

STEAMER HAWAII
IS ON THE ROCKS

Yesterday IS mail from Cebu, Manila,

the Cebu Chronicle of September "a,
which says:
The steamer Hawaii, which o. A.
Steven recently bought at Hongkong
for the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Asso-
citation, is ON the rocks off the north
coast of the Island of Siqiijor. The
vessel struck bottom Tuesday evening
while Mr. Steven and DR.. Arlington
Pond. who was a passenger on the Ha-
wall from Dumaguete to Siquijor, were
eating dinner.
The vessel has too large holes in the
bottom while the stern is almost en-
tirely submerged, and it will probably
be found a difficult task to save her.
Mr.. Steven, Doctor Pond and Chief
Officer Gray of the stranded vessel, Sc
cured passage from the scene of the
wreck to Argao on the government
launch Manduke. They arrived at Ar
gao Wednesday evening and telephoned
Trainmaster G.. Jones, Philippine Rail

some sort of transportation. Mr.. Jones
himself went down to Argao on the
railway automobile and took them to
Cebu. They arrived here about eleven
clock Wednesday night.
Thursday afternoon, Mr.. Steven and
Chief Officer Gray with two divers who
will examine the extent of the dam
ages, left for the scene of the wreck.

about a hundred attended special
meeting, called for political purposes,
on Friday, at which several of the Chi.
nese speakers referred bitterly TO the
fact that the hired orator for McCand-

with the Chinese, evidently, than the
source deserved.
Chang Chau made a clever speech, as
chairman, explaining TO the Chinese
present that what they SHOULD vote for
is the party whose platform promises
business development, and not that
party whose aim appears to be business
stagnation.

which have some connection with the
local hui which has raised small for
tune in capital to be used in smuggling
the coutraband article into Hawaii, and
as far as could be learned from officials
who were in a rather uncommunicative

some connection with the Japanese liner

The twenty tins represent a market
value here of about $l400, and will be
added to the pile of tins of opium

TRANSPORTS MAY GET
COAL At MANILA
If Mine Is Developed at Home,
the Troopships Will Cut Out
Japanese Port.

If congress appropriates 100000 to
develop the Bataan coal mines in the
Philippines, so that sufficient output
can be sent to the Manila docks to sup
ply government vessels, the United
States Army transports will in future
cut out Nagasaki as a return port of
call from Manila to San Francisco.
Lieutenant Bowdish, Seventh Caval-
ry, who has had charge of the Bataan
coal mines for some time, is through
passenger on the Logan en- route to
join his regiment in the States. He
stated yesterday that up to the pres
ent time the government has only made
n superficial investigation of the mines
and only the surface groupings were
utilized. The orders were not to fol
low the dips or veins, but, after all
the outcroppings had been exhausted
one of the veins was followed to a
short depth and about forty tons of
coal per day extracted He states that
the coal is there in almost unlimited
quantities, and it remains for congress
to make an appropriation to develop
a big output.
The only reason the transports call
at Nagasaki at all is to secure coal
which is much cheaper there than at
San Francisco or any other port of
call. Until the Bataan mines are
developed the Japanese coal will be
taken on at NagasalSi.
When Bataan coal is used on the
transports, the latter will cut out Ma.
gasalui and steam direct from Manila
to Honolulu and San Francisco.
