editor has ably handled several
subjects of present interest in the

which is a strong reply to an "open

from England under date of Au-

TIE CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT at
PEARL HARB0R.
Both Crews In Good Condition
and Confident of Success.

The championship race between
crews of the Myrtle and Healani
clubs will take place over the Pearl
harbor course today at 4 P. n.
Everything seems to be in readi-
ness for the race, which will, no
doubt, prove an interesting event.
Special trains will be run by the
railway company, leaving at l AS
and 3:O5 PM, 80 cents being
charged for the round trip. The
returning trains will leave Pearl
harbor Immediately after the race.
While there has not been much
betting on the result of the race as
yet, considerable interest has been
manifested in the outcome of it.
Both teams have been practising
for some time and each seem con-
fident of success. The Healani
crew exceed in weight by some
twelve pounds their competitors,
which should give them slight
/ advantage. The Myrtles are not
doing much talking, but claim they
will make it interesting for the
Healanis, Notwithstanding the pre-
diction of the kahunas that they
will not be in it. Whichever team
proves successful will have cause
for congratulation, as the race will

Anticipating success, it is saio

THE WEDDING DAY.

Secret marriages are in every
country in Europe considered IL
legal.
The Greek church employs two
rings in the marriage ceremony
one Of gold, the other of silver.
A hundred years ago, when the
bride had fortune, the newspapers
stated that fact and gave also the
amount.
In Samoa the bride wears a
wreath Of flowers, a dress Of cocoa
mating, and has her face colored
with turmeric.
In most churches of England a
ring is kept go that embarrassment
may be spared in case of forgetful-
ness of the parties concerned.
Wedding rings engraved with the
device Of a heart and two clasped
hands have been found in Egyptian
tombs dating 3. C. 1000.
The brides veil is a relic of the
scare CLOTH" a canopy held over
the virgin bride by our Saxon fore
fathers TO conceal her embarrass-
ment.
The white ribbons and favors
used at weddings today are emble-
matte of the time when the brides
garters were cut up into bits and
distributed among the young men
and women present for good luck
In one country district of Ger
many pay weddings" were in
vogue as late as the present CEN
fury, each guest paying for his en-:
tertainment as much as he would

Trenching Tool Attached to Rife.

The rifle trenching tool of M. de
Layea, which was recently tried at the
Armory House parade ground, Finsbury,
and is expected lin one sense to revolu-
tionize the warfare of the future" con-
sists essentially of an arrangement by
which spade or such like tool can be
fixed to the butt of rifle without pre-
venting the weapon from being ready for
use, either with shot or bayonet. To this
end there is receptacle in the butt, and
the spade fits into it with a spring catch
OF course the stock and barrel of the rife
become the handle of the spade.
1t is claimed for this appliance that it
will enable every infantry soldier to be
his own sapper and rifle pit maker, and
the tool wagon will become unnecessary.
Moreover, If there is no time to fix the
bayonet, the spade itself will be a make
shift, and when not in use can be carried
in leather case, slung across the chest
of the soldier, thus balancing the weight
of his haversack and forming breast
plate against sword, bayonet or lance,
and possibly bullets. M. de Layen, we
may add, is a Frenchman, married to an
English woman and settled in this coun-
try.-London Globe.
