can give some of the best English
teams a hard tussel.
Now that there seems to be a
desire to revive this noble game in
our midst, it is hoped the enthu-
siasm will be carried forward until
there is not only one good club in
town, but that at least Punahou and
Kamehameha will each organize
and being out a good team. If they
will undertake to start, 1 believe I
can safely say two good players
can be found who would readily
coach them until they were able
to carry themselves along tho
roughly. and when once they un-
derstood and played the game on
their grounds it would become one
of the regular pastimea in their
college recreations and sports, and
the town players would have 20
work hard and practice often to
hold the penant in any series of
games. WALTER C. WELDON.

CAPT. UILTSE'S FUNERAL.
His Remains We're Brought to
WASHINGTON for Burial.

Capt. Wiltse, whose death in
New York was announced in the
Star, had been confined to his
home only six days. He attended
the reception to the Duke of Vera
qua week ago at the Hotel Wal
dorf and only a few nights before
was an honored guest at Union
League club dinner. He seemed
in the best of spirits. 1t is now
supposed that the excitement of
the Hotel Waldorf reception was
indirectly the cause of his death.
at the bedside were his wife, his
daughters, "Annie" and sally"
eighteen and fifteen years respec-
lively his sons, Franklin, thirteen
years, and Arthur, seven Mr.. and
Mrs. w. E. Steele, Mr.. Franklin
Steele and Mr.. Edward McCauley
of Washington, also brothers-in-
law and their wives, and Mr.. A. d.
Addison of Washington, still an
other brother-in-law.
Capt. Wiltse married in 1872
Miss Sarah Steele, daughter of the
late Franklin Steele of Washing
ton. His wife and four children
survive him. He was one of the
well-known and popular men of
the navy.
His eight pall-bearers were ADJ
miral Green, Commodores Far
quhar and Dewey. Capts. Howell
and McNair, Commanders Hous-
ton and Jewell and Lieut.. Mason.
HIS HONORABLE CAREER.
Capt. Wiltse w25 born at Bing-
hampton y. Y, and was appointed

gust 81, 1861 ; lieutenant command
er on January 6, 1866; commander

on January 26, 1887. AS lieuten-
ant he served with distinction
throughout the civil war. His last
service on the Boston began with
the squadron of evolution and end
ed at Honolulu. The Boston was
under Capt. Wiltse's command,
with the Baltimore and Yorktown,
in the harbor of Valparaiso when
the men of the Baltimore were
attacked in the streets of that
city. One of the most interesting
services in which Captain Wiltse
was engaged was the bringing of
several millions of dollars in silver
coin to New York from New Orleans
a few years ago, when he COM
manded the Swatara. He was in
command of the Boston when her
men raised the stars and stripes at
Honolulu, but was not. present
when they were hauled down, hav-
ing previously been detached and
ordered home.
He was member of the Loyal
Legion and the Union League

Capt. E. J. Clifford, Of the whaling

man the particulars of an interesting
whale hunt of which he was a witness.
The natives of that region are people Of
low intelligence, their chief employ
ment being the capture of inhabitants
of the waters that wash the Siberian
coast. These people have become ex-
perts in the vocation that furnishes
them with the necessaries of life. The
story as told by Capt. Clifford is as fol-
lows:
''We had been lying at anchor for
several days in small and almost land
locked bay, and had done some little
trading with the inhabitants of a viii
lage about half mile inland. One
morning all hands were awakened by
great hubbub on shore, the cause Of
which was the presence of a school Of
sperm whales three or four miles out
side the harbor. In short time ten
canoes, each containing from six to
eight natives, put off and made straight

er and approached the school with
great caution. When within about
three hundred yards of the nearest
whale the canoes separa ted, and as the
big fellow came up 10 blow they rap

The whale by this time was lazily roll

Of the canoes that they were all within
easy reach of the whale when the lead
er gave the signal to throw the har-
poons. In a moment at least thirty
harpoons were sticking from the shin
ing back of the whale, and the canoes
shot back out of reach of the big fukes
in less time than it takes to tell il.
And here comes the strange part Of the
performance. Attached to each har-
poon were about two hundred feet Of

reindeer skins inflated with air. In

did not last long, and four hours from

The intellectual aspiration Of a peo-

the prose or poetry of imagination or
the recorded investigation of rs philos-

Scribner's Magazine. No matter how
widespread may be the diffusion Of
knowledge, no matter how multiplied
NAV be the means Of instruction, 50
that the printed book may be in the
