TAKEN AT PISTOL POINT
A New Plan Frustrated Rush of
Five Men on a Customs Guard. .
Four Escaped.
Five men off the Australia tried to
stand up the Customs guard at Oceanic
wharf last night with the result that
one of them is at the station house
with a dead-sure case of smuggling
opium against him.
It was shortly after the watch chang
ed at 6 o'clock that R. M. Macauley,
Customs inspector, assigned Guard
Vivachaves to the main gate leading
out on Allen street. Vivachaves had re
ported being offered a bribe by one of
the Australia's crew during the after
noon and Macaulay placed himself In
hiding close by and awaited the com
ing of the men, who usually go out in
gangs after supper.
Five men came along about 7 o'clock
and made a rush for the gate. The
first clinched with Vivachaves but by
that time Inspector Macaulay was
coming up on a dead run for the
crowd and the gleaming barrel of his
reveolver under the rays of the electric
light aimed directly at the men
made them halt in their desperate at
tempt. Vivachaves had blocked the
narrow gate alongside the big en
trance, which was tightly locked and
had the struggling man in close em
brace. Seeing their scheme had failed.
the four men who were free, turned tar
their heels and back to the Australia's
gang plank. Dodging among the piles
of freight'with which the Oceanic dock
is now encumbered, Inspector Macau
lay found it useless to further pursue
them and hastened back where the
big sailor had Guard Vivachaves, who
is a rather slight young fellow, nearly
exhausted. The smuggler gave in upon
Macaulay's approach and was taken to
the Port Surveyor's office and searched.
Nineteen half-pound tins of prime
Hongkong opium were found secreted
in side his shirt and various pockets of
his clothing.
Taken to the station house he gave
his name as Hansen, a Swede, for
many years past donkey man on the
Australia. He had in his possession
$175, of which $130 was in Hawaiian
currency and the remainder in United
States gold. He claimed that two of
the crowd with him had gone through
the gate when he was stopped.
This clever capture redounds not on
ly to the credit of the brave guardian
and inspector who secured the man
and the stuff, but to Port Surveyor
Stratemeyer, whose system of patrol
makes it nearly impossible to land
opium in this harbor.
Further arrests may follow as it is
suspected there are several of the crew
implicated in this affair.
Macaulay and the guards, after the
whole of the raiding party had disap
peared, made a careful search of the
wharf and succeeding in finding ten
tins of opium that had been dropped
by the men who ran away.
OVERHEARD OX THE STREET.
First Lady It's such a surprise to
me to hear so many of the natives
speak English so fluently. Why, back
in Massachusetts where I was brought
up there are over thirty thousand of
the population, American born, who
cannot speak, read or write the Eng
lish language.
Second Lady Just fancy!
Third Lady You really don't mean
it? I thought it was bad enough in
Ohio, but that beats it.
First Lady Yes, it's a fact
Second Lady Oh, how beautiful!
First Lady It is perfect, isn't it? It
really makes me homesick. Arn't
those brownies dear; the expressions
on their faces are awfully good.
Third Lady But how is such a con
dition allowed to exist? Are you sure
there are as many as thirty thou
sand? Second Lady Just look at the ice
pond, and the snow man and actual!'
there is a Christmas tree in the house!
Why this must be Waterhouse's win
dow that we have heard so much
about. Let's go in.
Third Lady Yes. but tell me, those
thirty thousand
First Lady Oh, pshaw! they are all
children under two years of age.
Wide Advertisement.
While in New York recently, Mr.
R. W. Shingle, the Exposition Com
missioner of Hawaii, was fortunate
enough to interest ia the Islands Mr.
Marshall, the manager of McClure's
Syndicate and of the American Press
Syndicate. For these two circuits Mr.
Shingle furnished a well considered ar
ticle on Hawaii that was published in
leading papers of these cities: St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Denver,
Omaha, Des Moines, Chicago, Buffalo,
Minneapolis, St. Paul. New York, Phil
adelphia and Washington. The article
is of the same tenor as J. F. Brown's
contribution to the Advertiser, with
the "iton'ts" that have been so widely
quoted. The matter has reached ap
proximately four million readers in
the East and will go into hundreds of
Western papers.
In the Quicksands.
Senator Henry Waterhouse has just
had a thrilling experience in the quick
sands of Niu. He was driving in that
district with a Portuguese servant. The
Senator took his team too far makai
and the horses went down in the sand
till only their heads and shoulders
were in sight. The rig sank till only
half wheels were in view. By his usual
coolness the Senator managed after
much toil to get his rig, the horses,
the frightened Portuguese boy and
himself out of the dangerous place. The
Senator is now in favor of having dan
ger signals displayed at quicksand pits.

Dr. Barrows is a graduate of Olivet

subsequent journey around the world,

OUT OF SCHOOL
Commencement Exercises Held at
the Hisli School
CLASS OF SEVEN MEMBERS
Essays and Music Diplomas Pre
sented Remarks By a
Cabinet Officer.
Commencement exercises were held
in the Honolulu High school last even
ing. There were three "sweet girl
graduates," and four young men, all of
whom acquitted themselves with credit
to their instructors, showing a careful
training both in thought and expres
sion. A large audience gathered, most
of whom were friends of the graduates.
The wall back of the stage was drap
ped in Hawaiian and American flags,
making a pleasing back ground for the
palm and fern leaf decorations at the
front. Seated on the stage were Attor
ney-General Smith, Inspector-General
of Schools Townsend, the Rev. Alex.
Mackintosh, Professor Scott and the
members of the graduating class.
The program began with prayer by
the Rev. Alex. Mackintosh, after which
a song by the High school was given.
Miss Ivy Girvin then read an essay
reating of the Philippine Islands.
Miss Gii vin began with the discovery
of the islands and gave an historical
account of their colonization and slow
development up to the present. The
essay was an instructive one, well writ
ten and delivered in a pleasing man
ner. A mandolin and guitar selection left
a good impression with the audience.
Mr. G. F. Wright chose for the sub
ject of his essay "The Nicaragua
Canal," and handled the question with
skill. Mr. Wright pointed out in a
forcible way the benefits which would
accrue to the Pacfic states if the canal
were built.
The High school gave there choruses
during the evening, the students sing
ing under the direction of Professor
Yarndley.
Miss Rice gave a carefully prepared
essay on "The Indigenous Flowers of
Hawaii," an essay full of blossoms and
trees, green fields and gayly plumaged
birds, and long, musical Hawaiian
words, an essajr showing familiarity
with and love for the beautiful in Na
ture. Mr. Charles Elston sang one of De
Koven's songs "Past and Future." Mr.
Elston has a well trained tenor voice
and so pleased his hearers that an en
core was demanded.
Robert D. King gave an historical
account of the "Constitution of Ha
waii," mentioning the events which led
up to the adoption of the present Con
stitution and closely analyzing that in
strument. Minister Cooper was unable to at
tend the exercises but at ,the last mo
ment Mr. Smith consented to be pres
ent and speak to the graduates. Words
of advice coming from a man of large
experience, from a man whose lot it
has been to fill high places In life,
were of great worth to the students.
The closest attention was given him.
Professor Scott spoke to the students
on "KaDits," saying many things
which they will recall in the after
years and recognize as words of wis
dom.
The presentation of the diplomas was
interesting and the amusing remarks
of the principal, as each happy gradu
ate stepped forward, caused much
laughter and drove away that sadness
which so often attends the parting of
students and teachers.

Pilot Chart.
The pilot chart for December glvea .
the following forecast of weather:
During this month the northern part
of the North Pacific ocean will be sub
ject to fierce gales. These will prob
ably be found due principally to cither
of two classes of barometric depres
sions, one class originating in tho
west, moving to the eastward over tho
Japan sea and across the island of Ho
koshu, and the other class forming to
the south of the 30th parallel and mov
ing northward, and tending to ap
proach the average storm track for
December.
The region of greatest frequency
and Intensity of these gales will prob
ably lie north of the 35th parallel ami
reach across the entire ocean; but be
tween Japan and longitude 160 degrees
E. it will extend as far southward as.
latitude 30 degrees N.
In the vicinity of the Philippine and
Hawaiian Islands frequent squalls
may be expected.

JOAQUIN MILLER.
He Will Talk on Klondike Be
tween Vaudeville Performances.
CHICAGO, December 2. Joaquin
Miller, the poet of the Sierra, Is to
shine as a star attraction on the vaud
eville stage in Chicago during the pres
ent month. His name will appear on
the bill boards in big black letters,
sandwiched between those of artists
whos specialties will be along other
lines. His engagement marks an inno
vation in the methods of amusement
managers. Mr. Miller's "turn" will ap
peal to the mind more than to the ear
or eye.
Miller is going to lecture to the pa
trons of vaudeville at the Chicago
opera house. The poet will tell of his
impressions of the Klondike, from
which he has recently returned, and
will -wear a garb picturesque enough
to keep people guessing at his iden
tity.Manager Kohl thinks he has found
a strong card in the poet of the West.
The engagement at the Chicago opera
house will not begin until Miller has
finished a short lecture tour, among
surrounding towns and cities, begin
ning next Monday.
IMPORTANT!
We beg to notify our many patrons
and the public generally that we will
deliver to any point in the city, on
