p,: ,ps lf the present camp afforded

CHANCE OF SAVING THE COLON.
The Wrecking: Company Agrees to
Rtt*h Its Preparations.
New York, July 25.—Lieut. Richmond
Hobson arrived in New York to-day from
Washington, and after consul ling with the
ollicials of the Merritt & Chapman Wreck
ing and Dry- Dock Company, announced
that that company had consented to under,
lake the rescue of the Christobal Colon,
and was making every effort to begin llie
work as soon as possible.
“The difficulty of saving the Colon,” said
he, “lies in the comp ete subrm rgence upon
her beam end of a steamer of 7,otb tons.
Only a short portion of her sum is clear
of water, which fills her whole interior.
Her sea valves are open, and h< r sides are
in a few- places p -rft,rated by shells. The
beach upon which she lies is exceedingly
shelving, forming a part, in fact, of the
mountain which there rises out of the sea
and towers aloft.
In short, all the conditions are present
which render the righting of the ship an
engineering feat of large proportions. At
the same time it is quite simple and feasi
ble-. No new appliances are needed, noth
ing has to b? invented; it is simply a ques
tion *>f getting to the spat in :ime with the
accepted means and methods on a suffi
cient scale.”
As to the plan for raising the Colon,
Lieut. Hobson said: “We will run the pon
toons alongside of the Colon, submerge
them, and after chains, under the bottom
of the ship have been fastened to the pon
toons and tightened, the pontoons will lie
pumped out. At the same time we will use
air pumps in trying to force* the water out
of her air chambers and water tight com
partments.
“If many of these compartments are
found to be in good condition this com
bined force from tha outside and inside will
lie sufficient to raise the Colon several feet.
If they are not sufficient, then air bags
will be put in her hold and inflated ay
compressed air. Every time the ship is
r tised a few feet from the bottom she wall
be towed further in shore, so that after
several S-isy stages she will be high enough
out of ihe water to make all necessary re
pairs.
“It that is found to be the case, the Co
lon may be quickly towed to a dry dock
in this country for permanent overhauling.
“I think it will be fuily two weeks be
fore the work of raising the Colon can
begin. As to when it can be finished will
depend largely on the smoothness of the
water. Pontoons cannot be worked in
rough water. Fortunately for us, the
weather has been propitious thus far, and
it is our hope that it will continue until
the Colon is high and -safe on the beach.
Lieut. Hobson went over to Glen Ridge
this afternoon and lunched with Mrs.
Sampson, wife of Rear Admiral Sampson.
Constructor Hobson bore special messages
to Mrs. Sampson from the admiral.
Lieut. Hobson left at midnight to-night
for Boston for the purpose of purchasing
pontoons to be used in raising the wrecks
of the Cristobal Colon and the Maria Te
resa. He said before leaving: “1 hope to
finish my business In Boston in a day or
two and return to Washington Wednes
day. I don’t know how soon I shall leave
for Cuba.”
To-night he was the recipient of an in
formal reception by the members of the
army and navy club.

NEW YORK FORFEITS A GAME.
Munogt-r Freedman Object* to a
Player’* Remark.
New York, July 25—New* Y'ork to-day
forfeited the game to the Baltlntores after
hail of the fourth Inning had been played.
The score al that time was 1 to 1. Holmes
when at bat in Baltimore's inning struck
Out. A “fan.” In the grand stand yelled:
“Oh. Ducky, you’re a lobster!”
“Well, l m glad I’m not working for a
sheeny anymore,” replied Holmes.
T'nipire Lynch turned around and said
something to Holmes, who went to the
bench.
President Freedman, who was sitting in
the giand sand, sent a representative
down w th a request that Manager Hanlon
t ike Holmes out of the game. Hanlon re
ferred .Mr. Freedman's representative to
the umpire, who said he had tidt heard the
remark and refused to take Holmes out
of left field.
Mr. Freedman then came on the grounds
and asked for the expulsion of the player,
and on being refused told Joyce not to
p.ay ball. Lynch then gave the game to
the Baltimore's 9 to 0.
Tiie spectators, about 3,000. received their
money back.
President Freedman stated afterward
that he would protest the game and that
he would rei*ort Holmes to the board of
disc: pin e. He also said that people had
been crying for gentlemanly bail playing,
and that they should get it on the New
York grounds at any cost."
Philadelphia, July 25.—Washington de

turn to Atlanta to-morrow night.
Chief of Police Lewis W. Beach is in
Savannah undergoing treatment for throat

Judge J. L. Sweat arrived this morning
and will hold court in chambers for sev
eral days. Court is still conducted in the
city hail building, the county having not
yet gone into their new purchase of the
Oglethorpe Bank building.
The naval reserves were very much in
terested in the Washington dispatch print
ed in to-day's Morning News to the effect
that a monitor was to be sent to Bruns
wick. It was a great surprise to them,
as the first intimation they had of suen
a movement was through this morning’s
issue.

expired, he has returned to quarantine,
after a visit with Mrs. Burford to Capt.
and Mrs. W. F. Symons.
The King's Daughters will run an excur
sion to Fernandina Thursday, for the sake
of charity.
Indications point to heavy shipments of
lumber coastwise this month, but the for
eign exports will be light. Naval stores
and phosphate make up the chief foreign
exports for July. Five steamers will take
on these cargoes, something unusual in the
local trade for this season of the year. The
Mallory Line steamship State of Texas
has gone back to New Y'ork after several
weeks’ service in the Red Cross relief com
mittee. She will come back on the regu
lar line now, unless something unforsten
develops.
Improvement* at Kisximniee.

on Emmett street, is about completed.
The large and commodious brick store and
warehouse of the Waters & Carson Gro
cery Company is under way.
The crops will be very light in this coun
ty on account of the dry weather, though
we are having plenty of rain now, but it
is too late.
EXORCISING A DEMON.
Ceremony Ln*t Year In Httvaria
Which Recall* the Dark Age*.
Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.
Perhaps the most recent instance of this
survival of mediaevalism in one of the
chief centers of modern civilization and
scientific culture occurred on March 15,
1897, at Munich, Bavaria, where a Catholic
priest of\St. Benedict’s Church solemnly
went throagh Ihe ceremony of exorcising
a demon* that haunted a house at 21 Park
street, in that city. It seems that the
evil spirit had disturbed the pious in
mates of the dwelling by groaning, sigh
ing and making such a racket generally
that it was Impossible for thorn to sleep,
and was seen one night by a child pass
ing through the room in the disguise of
an old woman dressed In black, evidently
a survival of the race of ugly and ill-star
red hags who have played such a mel
ancholy part in the tragic annals of witch
craft. On receiving this information Ihe
parish priest and his acolytes went at
once to the house with a.xperigills and cen
sers to expel the infernal intruder by the :
supernal power inherent In holy water j
arid consecrated incense. The event caus
ed considerable sensation in the Bava
rian capital.
Panelled Spaniard’* Nose.
Greenport, L. I„ July 20.—Miss Alice
O’Grady of New York, who is spending
ihe summer here,, to-day received a let
ter from her brother, Gerald O’Grady, a
Rough Rider, now in Cuba. In it he says:
"I was slightly wounded previous to
the two severe battles of El Caney and
San Juan while on a special desperate
mission with two companions, wo carry
ing dispatches to Gen. Wheeler. My com
panions were killed and a Spanish soldier
caught me. I had only my pistol wiih
me, which was unloaded, but I punched
the enemy In the nose, knocking him silly.
They thought it was all over with me un
til they saw me \cotning into camp.”
HONOLULU AND HAWAII.
NATIVES WORK HIRD V ;> HAVE
NO PAITERS.
Hoxv They Came to Be Celled Cnniii
l>al* When They Vrc Not.
From the Brooklyn Tinas.
In view of the probability of the annex
ation of the Hawaiian l- .11 !< to the
Untied States the following letter just re
ceived by a Brooklyn man from a friend
in Honolulu will lie of Interest. The
writer, who was n cadet on the American
liner St. Raul before that v*> 1 wis turn
ed over to the government, says among
other things:
“You speak of war being the solo object
of Brooklyn thought. Well, it is really
the same here. The only difference is
that here.people have to v it for the war
news and it is sometimes ten days after
mi event occurs that they ;e> word of it.
It is intensely exciting to g.i ashore and
hear the war talk that is pre\ *:* nt at ev
ery corner. The American element has
the uppre hand here and <*v. v ii::' • item
of Interest is magnified to tremendous pro
portions. It is really funny to read the
articles in the Honolulu papers about the
war and then compare them with ihe true
news from San Francisco. You can per
haps imagine what the newsp ip* rs are
like when l tell you that each of them
(there are three) are rivals and all have
the ‘Oniys’ tnad ertizo for ’scoops.’
“The Hawaiian Islands ar. in a peculiar
position just now. It is their duty to de
cide whether they shall be n. utral or not.
In all probability they will side with Ike
states, but it is a delicate question and
there is much bickering ov. r it in the Ha
waiian Legislature. Some argue that
the hoisting of the American flag over
the island would lay it open to capture by
the Spaniards, and that the hoisting of
the flag being done without the request of
the United States, that the American gov
ernment would not see fit to interfere. I
guess, however, that the Stars and Stripes
will float over the Hawaiian Islands In a
few* days. At any rate, this gm. rnment is
violating neutrality laws, which demand
that a belligerent vessel shall leave <1 neu
tral port within twenty-four hours after
a notice of war has been handed to the
government of that port. The United
States gunboat Bennington is still lying
here in spite of the declaration of war, so
this port cannot be neutral ground. There
is a lot of speculation in regard to the
Bennington.
She put on her war paint four days ago
and took dwon her main and mizzen top
masts. People expected to see her sail
last Saturday, but she is still here, and
I think it extremely probub;** she will re
main to protect American interests.
"This war is raising Cain with the
' m trlnt .Am **r ,
can ships, w hich left here and Frisco f< r
New York, are expected to call in at some
South American port on the Pacific side
and receive new orders. No one can tell
as jet when our ship will go. At present
the insurance companies refuse to insure
any ship going around the Horn flying
the Stars anr Stripes. Should the war
end before we are loaded we will get our
insurance all right. But if it is still rag
ing it is ten chance® to one that we will
sail for San Francisco. It will take us
about fifteen or twenty days more to
load, so you wfill be able to fell whether
I am going to Frisco or New Yorlt by
just consulting the war barometer.
“Honolulu gains in me a firmer admirer
every day I stay here. Someone las
rightly named it the Gem of the Pacific.
It. owns such a delightful climate that
I hate to think of returning to the 'never
two-days the same weather’ of New York.
Then the white people take life so easy.
A white man is not supposed to work
hard and he usually gels good pay for
what he does.
“There are no paupers in those islands.
There are many poor people (mostly na
tives and Chinamen), but there are none
starving. If a white man comes Into Ihe
country and gets on his ’uppers,’ the gov
ernment will give him work enough to
feed himself comfortably; bin if it be
comes known that the whltq man won't
work but prefers ‘bumming,’ then ihe
government puts him in Jail. Should this
course not cure the ‘bum’ he is shipped
out of the island—that is, if he is an
alien.
“The natives are the happiest lot of peo
ple I have ever met. They care nothing for
money, but only crave it as a means to
Piocure enjoyment. They will work hard
all week in order to have a grand blowout
on Saturday. This hard work is no dream,
either. It is a common saying that a good
Kanaka is as good as any two other men.
These natives know their value and de
mand the same wages as a white man.
Those among them wtio are educated are
a very intelligent class and they form no
mean proportion of the native population.
“The natives, you know, are niggers, but
they do not hkve the revolting blackness
common to the American negro. The ma
jority of them are as well-featured people
as you would wish to look upon.
“A week ago Saturday I went up Into
the country with a Kanaka friend of mine
to spend the night with one of his cousins.
It was dark when we got to the house, or
rather, apology for a house. The ‘dug-out’
for that is the only appropriate name for
the dwelling, was about 32 feet
by 8 feet in dimensions. My friend intro
duced me to his cousin, and I was invited
into tho ’parlor.’ There were no chairs in
the place, but the floor was covered with
a matting made in the islands. Then the
beds were spread on the floor. When it
came time to retire, Benny said that he
und I would sleep out on the grass in front
of the hut. I did not seem astonished, but
just followed Ihe leader. I thought per
haps there was a tent or other covering to
protect us from the dew. But, no, it was
sleep in the grass with the heaven for an
awning. In the morning t was treated to
u Kanaka breakfast, consisting of sweet
potatoes and some stewed meat. The cook
ing was done outside the house in much
the same kind of an arrangement as we
used when we went berrying. We had one
spoon and two plates among five of us.
You can imagine how big a part our fin
gers took in stowing the food away. But
it tasted fine, nevertheless. After break
fast I had a look around. The house was
the funniest mixture of tin, tar pup* r,
logs and boards I ever saw. The little
farm, however, belonging to the house was

when the natives ceased to be cannibals.
He was very Indignant at the query, and
assured me that they never were canni
bals. This Is the way he said that peoplo
came to believe them savages. When
Capt. Cook, the discoverer of the islands,
came here the natives thought him a god.
A great many, especially the women, wor
shiped him. Capt. Cook took a fancy to
a wife of one of the chiefs. This chief be
came jealous, hut he feared to touch Capf.
Cook. Finally he began to doubt the
godshlp of Capt. Cook. He argued thus:
‘lf Cook l a god, then he would not feel
or mind a crack on the head with a club,
but he Is not, then he will yell.’ So, pro
curing a club, he hit Cook over the head.
Cook yelled. Then the chief Immediately
ran his spear through him. The body
was quartered by the people, who were
mad at being deluded by one who could die
like themselves. The quartered pieces
were hung up on a line to preserve them.
Now It was the practice among the people
to hang up pieces of wild hog in the same
manner preparatory to eating. Some of
the natives mistaking the third quarter
of the body for a piece of hog, took It
down and ate It. And thus it was the
people of Sandwich Islands became known
as cannibals. I asked a prominent man
if the story was true. He said It was a
native story, but Its truth was doubtful.
He assured me, however, that the body of
Capt. Cook was not eaten, but that it was
taken Into the Interior and burled.
"Every native that I have talked with
is opposed to every kind of government
but that of ex-Queen 1,11. If they could
only get her back they would, but they
say they are powerless before the white
machine that now controls them. The
real secret of the white man’s control Is
the ‘happy go lucky' come and govern me
you who can nature of the Hawalians. The
natives would like a government of their
own, but they are too careless to exist
themselves.
"The wealth of the Islands lies In the’r
sugar plantations. It is feared that with
annexation the sugar Industry will de
crease and likewise the importance of the
Islands. see, to maker the plantations
pay there hus to be cheap labor. Now. It
is Chinamen and Japanese who furnish
this want. These people work for from
I!t to *!S a month and find everything
themselves. With anne-xation to the Unit
ed States wlh come the Chinese and Jap
anese exclusion act, and they will not lie
able to import any more contract ialiorers.
At present every steamer from China and
Japan is bringing many emigrants in an
ticipation of annexation. The Chinese and
the Japanese are the scourge of these
Islands. They lover the price of wages.
Nearly every kind of common labor is
dyne by the Celestials, and the highest
wbges for them is fl a day. Nearly all the
smaller stores and a few of the larger ones
are owned and run by Japs and Ch'na
men. The Kanakas do not Indulge in store
keeping at all. If they did they would
soon be crowded out by the cheat* warts
of their Celestial brethren.
"The while people In business here have
a swell trade, but the prices of everything
in their stores are from twenty-live to fifty
per cent, higher than irt the stales. Of
course the white people working here can
afford to pay these; prices, as their wages
arc proportionately higher than the* other
Inhabitants. Engineers, mechanics and
bueine ss nan have big chances to grow
rich here. The plantations pay their en
gineers $126 a month; mechanics get from
?8o to $126 a month, and a smart business
man with a little capital can make money
hand over list. One tnjn I know came here
four years ago with SOO. Now he owns a
plantation for which he was offered $40,-
Ouo a few duy ago.’’
MAKING OF MANDOLINS.
The Component Illreh Is Imported
From Sontli America.
From the Kansas City Star.
Guitars and mandolins made here In
Kansas City by a musical firm are sold ali
over the United States. The wood Is bought
In New York and New Orleans, where It
has born Imported, Is shipped here, and
here it Is turned Into musical Instruments,
The processes of| manufacture ore Inter
esting.
Bales and plies of fine wood are heaped
about the floor of the nuyiufaclurtng
building. This wood comes frtgn the saw
mills especially out to suit the purposes of
the manufacturer. The birch comes hi
tales one-tenth of an inch thick. It is
mostly imported from South America. Eb
ony, mahogany and poplur are cut up Into
smaller strips.
The first step In the manufacture of a
guitar Is In the shaping of the sides.
These may be made from, birch, poplar,
mahogany, oak, bird’s-eye maple or rose
wood. Two pieces of wood, each about
two feet long, and one-tenth of an Inch
thick, are cut and trimmed, and then
bent on Irons heated by gas. When they
have acquired the projatr ehaj>e they are
Joined together, end to end, with blocks
and glue. They* are then hung up to dry,
and are not taken down for six months.
The next process is the making of the
tacks and sounding boards. These aro
of thin strips of spruce. There are two
qualities of spruce, the American and the
imported Norwegian; the latter Is much
the better la-cause of its whiteness, the
fineness of the grain and Its .qualities of
tone. The tops and tacks are shaped
and Joined into solid pieces and then
laid away in the drying room, where they
stay three months In a temperature of
140 degrees. By that time they are pret
ty well seasoned. When the tops and
backs are ready and the sides have ac
quired their permanent shape they are
glued together Into what la called the
"box.” Not a nail is used In the whole
Instrument. The rough edgea are then
taken off by machinery, and the sides of
the Instrument smoothed with a great
revolving cylinder covered with sand
paper.
A different workman next lakes the in
strument and inserts the neck. Necks are
nearly all made of mahogany, though
butternut is used for the cheaper Instru
ments. The necks are shaped Wedgelike
at the bottom, and glued and joined to
gether so they cannot come out. The lin
ger boards of ebony wood—dark, heavy
wood that weighs like Iron, and cornea
from the forests of Brasil—are then glued
on. After this the instrument must be
shaped and trimmed again. Then, if it
be of the tatter grade, the back is In
laid with oak and stained white holly
woods.
It Is next sent upstairs, where the fin
ishers are at work. There it is stained
and polished, the keys are set In the neck
and the steel threads inserted. The lat
ter Is the most difficult process of all,
since the slightest mistake In measuring
of the spaces between threads will spoil
the instrument.
The guitar Is now gone over very care
fully. It Is stained again, rubbed and
jKdishcd. Fancy Inlaid work Is a.ld*d to
the sides and top. Finally It is wired and
tested, and then turned out, a finished I
product.
The making of the mandolin is much
like that of the guitar. The principal dif
ference lies In the construction of the
shell. The shells are made on heavy
iron frames. Rosewood or cheaper woods
In little strips are*bent lengthwise ’along
the frames one by ofie, and glued and
fastened to one another with Iron clamps.
It takes from 8 to 42 pieces to make a
shell, and the work Is very tedious. After
the shell Is shaped on the frame It Is laid
away for three months before it is re
moved. The mandolin Is then built up af
ter the plan of the guitar.
Is always a source of delight to the woman
of refinement. Wo have some new and
exquisite styles til white enameled Bed
room Furniture, Bird’s Eye Maple, An
tique Ouk and Walnut, that suggest blos
soms in their delicacy of effects.
