Staying at home these days.
Woe and CONSERVATION is rampant
among officers in the Matson liner
Lurline. Captain Henry Weeden,
sometimes known as Midnight Wee

is worried. Purser Harry Meyer
wears blue raiment and an expression
OF like hue when seen lingering in
the haunts of prospective passengers.
Joe Lombardo may be found, bent in
pensive meditation instead of lowering
lovingly over the array of pots and
pans, or at his desk devising tempting
menus for seasick travellers.
, The LHrline is to sail at 6 o'clock
tomorrow evening. San Francisco is
the destination ..... ".-.. + 49,.
Two-count 'em-two passengers
are to embark for the mainland in the
Matson liner.
Twenty willing and ambitious young
men, in the stewards department,
will dance attendance to the pair OF
travellers who are elected to hold
forth in royal state on the trip to
Frisco town. = .}:.
At noon today, the twin names still
adorned the immaculate white pages
of the passenger register, maintained
at the Office of Castle & Cooke.
A treat is sure in store for the duet
of travellers to the coast in the Lur-
lire. For once, the scramble for a
seat at the captains table will re-
semble Republican love feast."
Happy voyager. whoever, he or she
may be, will doubtless be greeted at
the foot of the gangway by presum-
ably Weeden himself. The rank and
file of handsome young men, who so
well display the Matson uniform, will
be becomingly grouped in an artistic
semi-circle.
The passenger ascending the gang
way and stepping on board is to be
met by a score OF assistants prepared

ors. For instance, one viii be dele
gated to take the gentlemans hat,
another his cane, still another his suit
case, and several others his tips.
Going down the line, the favored
passenger is to be met with q pha-

the slightest signal of command.
Just think Of 1t, being the guest
of honor on board q steamer, with
ten or more servants at your instant
beck and call, unused one reflective
officer in the Lurline as he cancelled
an order for more than p dozen
Christmas trees :
While the Lurline Is expected to de
part for the coast with two cabin pas
seagers the Pacific Mail steamer 81
IBERIA scheduled to sail for San Fran
cisco at ten o'clock tomorrow morn
Ing will probably take less than twei-
~ travellers, from this port.
Over at the Oceanic Office, where
they expect the arrival of the liner
Ventura from the antipodes, seven
prospective passengers have called for
transportation.
The Ventura is coming here with
room for. two hundred additional trav-
elers, and from the present outlook
IL would seem that there would be
about dozen stewards to each pes
senger in this vessel. !
Siberia sails for Coast in the
Morning.
The Pacific Mail liner Siberia for
San Francisco will in all probability
be dispatched through the agency of
H. Hackfeld and Company for San
Francisco at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
The Siberia is destined to leave
here with very small list of travel
ers. While there is ample room for a
hundred or more passengers from this
port, less than twenty persons had
booked this morning. The Siberia is
to be discharged of 1900 tons oriental
freight upon arrival here on or about
o'clock this afternoon from China
and Japan ports The Siberia will
berth at Alakea wharf.
