Detailed Search.

The customs authorities acted on a
tip that there was considerable contra
band dope on board, and proceeded to
search the vessel with the intention Of
locating some of it. When the Siberia
arrived in port Friday afternoon, de-
tachment from the crew of the revenue
cutter Thetis, armed with dark lanterns,
made search. A force of customs Off
GERS made a search The search by the
customs men was resumed early yester-
day morning, and the cache of two lots
was uncovered.
One package was concealed in the
bottom of an air shaft, or ventilator, in
the after part of the ship. 1t contained
seventy-seven tins. The manner of con-
cealing the tins was unique First a
number of tins were wrapped in news
papers, some bearing the date of No
vember 16, San Francisco. Many thick
nesses Of paper were placed over the
tins and heavy sailcloth was sewn over
the package. A preparation was put
over the canvas. 1t looked like paint
and was preventative to keep out sea
water.
The bundles were made up in such
manner that it would have been an
easy matter to have dropped them into
the water, so that they might have been
picked up later. The manner of prepa-
ration of these packages seems to bear
out the reason why the revenue cutter

1t was Draw NIGHT, a bonny NIGHT
and several other kinds of NIGHTS put
together, was last NIGHT whatefer.
It was the anniversary of the birth
of Scotland's poet and the Scottish
Thistle Club kept it up IN good style
at the X. of p. hall. Every Scot in
Honolulu who could possibly get away
from home or business, was present and
when they were all gathered in the
hall Scotland s hold in the town was
apparent.
Several toasts were drunk during the
evening and some very interesting
speeches were made. The program sub
mitted was long one, but was just as
good as it was long, so that everybody
enjoyed themselves and left the hall
feeling real good Scot. As the even
ing wore on that warm-heart feeling,
that is always present at Scotch gath
erings of this kind, made its presence
felt and the singers were helped along
in their choruses in fine style.
If you happened to be Scot it sort
of made you feel good to join in the
stirring choruses that swelled through
the hall and far out into the night,
proclaiming that here was a gathering
of good Scotsmen bent on making the
memory of their great poet live for
ever.

LARGE HAUL OF
OPIUM IS MADE
Customs Officers Seize About
Seven Thousand Dollars
Worth on Siberia.
CTrom sundays Advertiser.l

There was contraband dope on the
Pacific Mail liner siberia, and about
$1,000 worth Of it is now in the pos
session Of the collector Of customs, f.
r. Stackable. Under arrest are Mau-
rice Roberts, steerage steward; Wan
Shaw, Chinese interpreter; Chang
Chow, No. ] fireman, and Use Kau,
coal passer.
The customs authorities probed deep
into the Siberia and brought to light
one hundred and ten tins of opium, the
discovery of one lot being made early
yesterday morning, and the second and
largest being taken in during the fore
noon.
The effort of Chinese to carry the
last lot from one place of concealment
to another was fatal for him, as a
Hawaiian member of the customs force
happened to be in the right place to
intercept and take possession of it.

The Program.
The chairman Chief John Walker Of
the club, in his opening remarks spoke
of the difficulty they had had in secur-
ing hall and how the Knights of
Pythias had come forward and offered
them theirs. He also told them of the
occasion which they were to celebrate.
After the chiefs opening remarks
the program was divided mp between
toasts and musical items. Among the
singers Jas. f. Fenwick, Phillip G. Hall,
G. G. Livingston and f. @. Vaughan
were the most prominent. They natu-
rally confined themselves to well-known
Scottish airs, and many hardened old
Scot was carried back to the days of
his childhood as he heard the old ia
miliar tunes. Il. w. Greig made the
hit of the evening with his recitation,
part of Burns Tam o. Shanter. " He
is good elocutionist and has evidently
a great insight into the real meaning
of Burns famous verses.
John w. Cathcart, in a speech which
was masterpiece, described the life
and doings of Bobbie Burns He traced
out his whole history from beginning
to end, and also spoke of the turning
point of his life, when Burns had
thoughts of going to Jamaica, after the
death of Mary Campbell, but went to
Marlborough instead and made himself
famous for all time.

Saved BY Col. jenkins.

One of those singular incidents of
the war between the sections that
turn up in this far day came to light
when Col. Thomas S. McGraw came
to Columbia Friday last to visit Maj.
Micah Jenkins at Mr.. Robert F. Jen-
kins'. Col. McGraw was a corporal
of the Sixteenth Michigan at Gaines
Mill; Col. Jenkins was in command
of the Palmetto Sharpshooters in the
same battle. The Michiganders late
in the afternoon advanced silently
toward the position of the sharp
shooters. Col.s Jenkins called out to
know who they were, and receiving
no answer, called again to the ef-
feet that if they did mot answer
whether they were friends or foes he
would order a volley. The column
came steadily on; then their COM
mander ordered Halt! 'FRONT.'" Col.
Jenkins had the volley put at them,
with the result that the company was
almost completely destroyed.
Col. McGraw was left on the field
after the encounter. He had been
shot through the shoulder, the ball
coming out under the shoulder blade
on the opposite side and grazing his
spine, paralyzing him completely.
All the ensuing night and a part of
the next day he lay on the field prac-
tically without assistance. When the
attention of Col. Jenkins was called
to the Union man he went to him in
person and giving him drink of
brandy had him removed to the field
hospital. Col. McGraw was then
transferred to Libby prison in Rich
mond, where after six weeks time
he was exchanged. When he finally
returned home Col. McGraw was for
sixteen months unable to stand.
This wound terminated his career in
the war.
Col. McGraw says his recent visit
to Columbia was induced by the de-
sire to meet and know the sons of
Col. Jenkins to whom he owes his
life, and to tell them of the affection
he feels toward the family of his
benefactor at the battle of Gaines

TO CARE FOR JONES.
Movement on Foot to Aid Davis's
Body Servant.

Washington, June 21.-It became
known here to-day that a movement
will probably be begun soon to take
care of James Jones, the old negro
servant of Jefferson Davis, said to be
the only living person who knows
where the great seal of the Confeder-
acy is hidden. A day or two ago
Senator Lodge introduced a resolu-
ton to abolish several positions
around the senate, one of these being
held by Jones, who had had it num-
Der of years. 1t is not known wheth-
er Jones's recent statement to the
papers in connection with the seal
and the cane which the Davis family
gave him, had anything to do with
his forthcoming dismissal, but the
fact remains that he will soon lose
his place. If the movement takes
definite form Jones will probably be
we'll taken care of during the re-
mainder of his life by the Southern
people.

Too Late.

Years ago, when the panhandle"
railroad was in course of construc-
tion, it's progress was a matter of
great interest to the people of the
region. A farmer who sold provis-
ions to the contractors often reached
the place where the men were at work
at meal time. He was greatly i'm
pressed at their voracity. The work
was hard and when the dinner bell
rang every man made a dash for the
table, and before any one could be-
lieve it possible the food had disap-
peared.
One day a workman on his way to
the table tripped on the root of a
tree and fell. He lay quite still,
making no attempt to rise.
The farmer rushed to him in great
concern.
''Are you badly hurt?"
"No," answered the man.
'sWell, why don't you get up and
go to your dinner?"
'No use," returned the other, sad
ly. cts too late now.''- Youth s

bridges behind us.
We backed up, for hours it seem
ed, until finally we arrived at Es-
tacion Hypolito, where we had
breakfast at midday. From there
we continued to Monterey, arriving
there at 8 o'clock in the evening.
One of the passengers inquired of
the auditor what we should do with
our tickets, and he suggested that
we keep them until the war is over
and then ride them out.
Our twenty-four hours ride to the
rebel camp was indeed a thrilling
experience, and one that I shall not
forget. The rebels all had mounts,
wore good clothing and had saddles
adorned with silver trimmings. A
number of them wore large pictures

of the war and he was faithful to the
end, even following him to Philadel-
phia.
When Captain Preston recovered
from serious wounds near the close
of the war and went to Washington
on his waySNorth, Aaron stuck with
him. Aaron walked with his master
to the train shed, wearing his saber
and belt. Noticing how down-hearted
Aaron was the captain asked him If
he wanted to go north" "Golly,
master, I'd like to-
But Aaron forgot a satchel and
went back to the headquarters to get
it. The train went off without
Aaron, and Captain Preston arrived
in Philadelphia minus the faithful
servant. He stayed in Philadelphia
for several days visiting friends prior
to going to his home in New York.
Before going to the old Kensing-
ton depot to catch his train he went
down to the Washington Avenue de-
pot. There he was amazed to see
Aaron walking wildly up and down
the street with the satchel, saber and
belt. There was grand reunion,
but it wasn't to last long. Aaron
stopped to talk to some negroes and
the captain lost track of him. But
he got his belt and saber, and still
has them.
Aaron, it appears, was arrested
when he went back to the quarters
and was brought before General Alb
ercrombie. The officer commanded
him to give up the belt and saber,
but the plucky little fellow refused
to do it. He explained that "a bull
let went clear through that belt and
through Massa Preston's body, and
Massa Preston wouldn't part with it
for a mint" The general admitted
the boys nerve and was also impress
ed with the story and gave him a
pass out of the city.
To Aaron the north was a def
mite place, and he thought that If
he boarded any train going north he
would find the captain. So it was en-
tirely by accident that Captain Pres
ton got his mementos.
Aaron, if he Is living, is the only
one that can explain where Rufin's s
book came from. - Philadelphia

In her pretty new frock sister
Mabel felt quite proud as she sat on

playing on the sidewalk, says the

After a time one little boy came
up to talk to her and admire, in his
rough little way, her bright shiny
shoes and pink sash.
"See my nice square-cut waist,

Cheating the Dead.

To steal pennies from dead mans
eyes has been held for ages as the
most contemplate form of thievery.
But modern days have developed
meaner depth of larceny-the betray-
al of trust whereby poor bodies are
defrauded of the few feet of earth to
which they are entitled as a last rest
ing place. No walk of life is free of
these plunderers, the relatives or
heirs who succeed to comfortable
fortunes being quite as apt to rob
their dead benefactors as poor men
are to run away and shirk response
bility.
Mr.. Smith-who is in this instance
a composite person-was a fairly
prosperous New York business man.
His wife died in 1906. He mourned
her with every indication of sincerity,
and had her body kept in the receiv-
ing vault of high priced cemetery
near New York City for nearly year.
Then he learned of less expensive
place farther away, and had the cof-
fin removed to it. The bereaved man
was so overcome with grief that he
could not Immediately select burial
plot. After six months he revisited
the cemetery and spent hours look
ing over the grounds. With tears in
his eyes he told the salesman who
showed him about how beautiful his
wife had been; what a sweet, lovable
character she had; how devoted she
had been to him. Indeed, he became
so sad, as he once more realized his
loss, that he could not proceed with
the melancholy business of choosing
a plot He went away, still over
whelmed with emotion and saying he
would return when he was more COM
posed. That was more than two
years ago. He has not been back
yet.-Harper's Weekly.

KILLS HIS BROTHER.
Negro Near Saluda Resented Kindly

Saluda, June 21.-Charged with
killing his brother, Mimms Thomas,
Cicero Thomas, a negro, was lodged
in jail here yesterday evening. The
killing took place early Tuesday
morning two miles west of Saluda.
The negro placed in jail is considered
half-witted. It appears that it was
his custom to carry his gun about.
His brother censured him for it. Be-
coming angry Cicero went to a near
by store, procured some shells, and
returning home fired at Mimms, kill
ing him instantly.
