THROWS HIS MONEY AWAY
Couldn't Sleep Because He Had
$3.50, and Is Now in Bellevue.

Nikoas Rojkow is a lucky man. Had he
not been he would be just $3.50 poorer to-
day than he was yesterday at 4:59 o'clock
in the afternoon As it is, Nikoas is minus
$50 of his hard earned wealth, and. besides,
will have 10 explain why 1t was he was
possessed of a consuming desire TO rid him

Ceeded.
Patrolman Kelly, Of the Tenderloin sta
ton. was in Fifth avenue Yesterday after
noon. when he saw a crowd scrambling
about i'm tho street in d most undignihed
manner Likewise, he heard a mans voice
raised above the general din, but the Ian
gusge spoken was foreign one, and the
patrolman ran forward.
When he had pushed his way through the
merry whirl Of men, boys and women Kelly
saw Nikolas Roikow standing on the curb
and tossing money into the street. Money
Of all kinds il was-yelOwbacks, green
backs. silver dollars and even pennies The
pockets of Nikolas seemed to bulge with
cash. and he appeared worried lest he
should not separate himself from it quickly
enough. The crowd lent able assistance
and stopped every little while TO cheer
him on.
When Nikolas was taken to the station
he said he lived at No. 200 East 7th street
and that he was an Austrian laborer. He
had $3.50 he said, all his savings, and could
not sleep with 50 much in his possession.
As a remedy for insomnia he decided to
lose the money.

observation.

NO MORE NEWS
FROM SEATTLE

No later advices have been received
concerning the proposed excursion Of
business men from the Seattle Cham
Der of Commerce. e. l. Spalding,
president of the Honolulu Chamber,
stated this morning that the only in
formation he has received concerning
the matter was through Castle Il
Cooke, as agents of the Matson Navi-
cation Company, which was to the eff
feet that no reservations are to be
received for the Honolulan sailing
from Seattle about the oath inst, or
from Honolulu on November 8th, on
account of the prospective charter of
the entire space by the Puget Sound
delegation. J. H. Drew, shipping
agent of Castle & Cooke, stated this
morning that, on advices from the
Matson Company, he had cancelled a
number of bookings already made
The Chamber of Commerce does not
expect to receive full information
concerning the matter until the ar
rival home of Secretary H. p. Wood,
who has been in Seattle lately and
who probably had something to do in
connection with working up the ex-
cursion. Mr.. Wood will arrive from
Vancouver next Wednesday. If the
delegation comes, it is probable that
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Merchants Association will combine
forces, and through a joint committee
arrange for suitably entertaining the
visitors while they are here.

FOREIGN SHORTAGE
AIDS LOCAL STOCKS

There was a decidedly more healthy
tone to local stocks today generally
accredited on the street to the en-
couraging outlook for continued high
prices Of sugar. as forecasted by Alex
ander & Baldwins cable yesterday
concerning the European beet crop,
and the Cuban crop shortage. The
better feeling was shown in the I'M
usually large amount of stocks which
changed hands since the closing Of
the board yesterday, although prices
have not shown more than a slight
tendency upwards.
Hawaiian Commercial and Eva were
the star performers as reported this
morning, with Olaa and McBryde
showing considerable activity. In all
61O shares of the first named stock
changed hands, starting off with 100
and 10 shares at 1915, all the re-
mainder bringing 40, in blocks as fol-
lows-263 21O and ~. 1t was held
at close for 40.50
Two hundred and twenty-five shares
of Eva all held firm at 31.00, with
more called for at this figure, but
holders demanding 31.25.
Olaa was in demand, $50 shares be-
ing sold, all at an advance. From 5.25
and 5.121a for which respectively 200
and 100 shares were sold between
boards, the price was advanced first
to 537R and then to $50, at which
it closed strong, with 5621A de.
manded.
McBryde also felt the stimulus
starting at the old price of 6.371a, and
closing at 6.75, at which no more could
be had.
While the above named stocks ad
vanced, Kekaha, Pioneer and Waialua
all showed weakness.
In bonds the only sale made was 6
block of $4,000 worth of Hilo Rail
road 1901 6s, which were bought a
par.

SUGAR UP AGAIN

Following the reports of still
further shortage of the beet crop in
Germany and a short cane crop in
Cuba, sugar prices experienced the eX,
pected advance today, only more
strongly than was generally hoped.
Centrifugals jumped from 5,79 to
5.9233; while beets moved up from
yesterdays quotation of 1Ss. Id to 1Ss.
ID Parity 5.9O5. There is a general
feeling that a still further advance
will obtain in the next few days.

POLYGLOT ALOHA
TO PERCY HUNTER

The lunch or banquet to Percy
Hunter being arranged by the Hands
Around the-Pacific Club is assuming
large and polyglot proportions. 1t de.
ponds upon the hour of the arrival
of the Makura whether the affair will
be lunch or banquet. So far about
"a dozen tables representing different
races or peoples of the Pacific have
been spoken for. Perelstrous has
withdrawn Siberia and Manchuria
from the rest of the Asiatic continent
and these countries will have table
of their own to kokua in the hands
around work S. Sheba has a large
list of prominent Japanese who wish
to attend, and Prof. J. w. Gilmore is
getting together those in Hawaii who
have lived in the Philippines, while
w. A. Bryan is rounding up the South
Sea Islanders. Every state in Austria
liza will be represented, as will New
Zealand California sons in Hawai-
will have a table, as will the NORTH
| Westerners.
At the hands around meeting at the
public service rooms at noon today
there was large attendance and the
lists of the people from around thu

EARNINGS FRDM
CHILI'S NITRATE

In light of the fact that Hawaii i'm
ports from Chill nitrates to the value
of over half a million annually, the
following, taken from the United
States Daily Consular Reports, relative
to the profits from the nitrate indus
try, and the opportunities in Chill for
foreign capital, should be of interest;
The slogan Trade follows invest
ment of capital abroad" is demonstrate
ed fully in Chile, not only by the Eng
lish and Germans but by other ma
tionalities. This is even true with
the United States to a more or less
degree. More American capital was
invested in Chile last year than ever
before in a like period. This was es-
pecially true of investments in the
nitrate fields of the north, where in
vestments are exceptionally profitable
as a rule According to table just
published covering the earnings of the
thirteen English nitrate companies
operating in the north of Chile, Il
would seem that there might be a
profitable opening for more American
capital in that business. The follow
ing table gives in United States gold
the gross and net earnings of the
thirteen companies, and dividends

expressed approval of the plan to have

formal resolution will be adopted at

Rithet Brings Part of Telegraph Hill.
The schooner R. P. Rithet that ar
rived last Monday from San Fran
cisco brought in her holds part of
Telegraph Hill, famous in San Fran
cisco history. To be sure, it was but
small part of the hill, on the precip-
itous side of which hangs the shan
ties of much of the italian, Austrian
and Hungarian population of San Fran
cisco This shipment consists of just
fifty tons of hill. Others will follow
as needed
| 1t appears that an attempt is being
made, in preparing San Francisco TO
be the "City Beautiful" to remove
this eyesore from the landscape, and
steam shovels are just beginning t.
make a dent in it. 1t has been dis
covered that much Of the hill is com
posed of moulder's sand-an indis
pensable article for making iron cast
/ ings-and thus the sand composing
Telegraph Hill has risen to the dig
nifty of being classed as a commodity
and an article of commerce.
The moulder's sand brought by the
I Rithet is consigned to the Honolulu
Iron Works, and, while looking like
any other pile of brown dirt, must
have considerable monetary value, as
the cost of transportation alone is
j about $3.50 ton.
