ESCAPE OF CONSTITUTION.
Exciting Adventure of "old Irousides"
In tho War of 1919,

The Constitution, or "Old Ironsideso
as she is more Familiarity known, is tho
most famous of all the wooden ships
that we have preserved. Time and
time again did she vanquish the Eng
fish ships in the war OF 1912, and
proud were the people of her captures.
Probably the most thrilling incident
of her career was her escape from
seven English men of war, after an ex-
citing chase of nearly three days and
nights. The chase was begun July II,
1912. The Constitution was out for a
long cruise, and was weighted down
with stores. The sea was calm, and
no wind was stirring. Captain Hull
put out his mon in boats to tow the
ship. They pulled valiantly, and as
night came on "kedgen anchor was
run out a half mile ahead. The
crew on the ship kept pulling on this,
and the Britishers didn't discover for
long time the secret Finally the
English saw it and adopted the same
tactics, and by doubling their crews
began to pull their famous ship Shan
non near to the Constitution.
A light breeze sprang up and saved
the American ship for the time, says
the Chicago Times. There was calm
the next day and the agonizing strug-
gle went on. The next night another
light breeze came up and the tired
sailors obtained a little sleep. The
next day there came sharp breeze
after many hours of struggle. The
Constitution trimmed her sails to
catch it; the boats dropped back and
the men were caught up as the ship
gathered Roadway, The Guerriere of
the English fleet came abeam as tho
wind freshened and fired broadslde,
but the shots fell short, and the Con-
stitution's men ignored them and
calmly went about strengthening UP
their vessel as II they had just left
port ard such thing as an enemy
was unheard OF.
As long as the Constitution can be
kept together she will probably be
seen at Portsmouth, n. H, where she
is now doing duty as receiving ship.
Our old ships have always been
proud, and it has amused some of the
thoughtless officials of other nations,
but there was bravery in their pride
and absolute courage that has always
been the embodiment of that famous
saying don't give up the ship!n
We frequently hear laments that the
old soldiers are dropping away fast.
| always share that feeling, but | also
include in it those wooden ships of the
navy-scarred veterans most of them
are, worthy of the abiding remem-
brance Of q grateful people.

The French civil tribunal has sot-
tied difficult question under the di-
vorce law. 1t has annulled mar
riage between a divorced woman and
her eX-husband's brother, on the
ground that divorce does not destroy
affinity. The president of the re-
public may 'for serious reasonsn
grant dispensation for a marriage
between brother-in-law and sister
in-law, no matter whether the first
husband or wife be dead or merely di-
vorced, but in this case no dispensa-
tion had been applied for.

his weapon, pushed its barrel little
further out, dropped his head SO that
his eye ran along it, and just as the
other was opposite, within three rods
of thc grim muazle, he cried:
"Jim, look up!" and fired.

caught sight of the red flames, he
whrled half about, his hand at his

hospital, but when at last he had re-
covered from the terror and strain Of

FORGET HIM?
Not If uo Ever Caught the walter in

A man from the interior of Indiana
was in New York not long ago, and,
according TO the Detroit Free Press,
meeting friend there, proposed to
blow him off to good dinner. He
didn't know just where to go, and by
some chance he stumbled into swell
cafe, where prices climb higher than
the thermometer on the hottest day.
The Indianian never thought OF that.

bill was presented it was for $1725.

exclaimed, as he looked it over.

waiter respectfully.
Excuse me-" said the Hoosier,
gulping down his feelings before his
guest, and he gave the waiter a
twenty-dollar bill,
When the change was brought back
he chucked it into his pocket and
started out, his friend being some dis
lance in advance.

Early in 1880 Tom Jcrmyn, young
ster of %, left his home in New Jer-
sey and sought fortune in the far
West. As many before him had done,
he worked from place to place, for
getting the maxim that rolling stone
gathers no moss, and after having
tried half Il dozen states and terrific
ries he found himself, in the spring of
1891, in Los Angeles friendless, home
less and all but penniless.
The situation was not pleasant
one. The boom of two or three
years before had left the town quiet,
and after few weeks of searching he
came to the conclusion that his only
chance to escape starvation or the
pcnitcntiary was to go into the min
ing districts, and therefore thither he
went.
With varying success he found his
way from one to another of the camps
along the Sicras, until one day he
struck new one, far up the country
toward Deaths valley, named Last
Ditch" and there fell into companion
ship and finally into partnership with
man almost twice his age by the
name of John Selden, Quick jim"
as he was better known in all the
mining region.
The friendship was n strange one.
The boy, for he was but boy was
not drnlier nor thief, was willing
to do as he would be done by, and to
work. Selden, on the contrary, was
n hard drn5cr, loved gaming and
cheating OF any and every sort, had
killed his man, yes, men, being known
as II desperate when in liquor, and
was altogether person to be avoided.
And yet the two seemed to have Il
mutual attraction, for their ucquaint-
ance, begun by chance, ripaned, as
have said, into actual friendship, and
for nearly two years they were
"partners" in all business relations
and became much attached to each
other
The fellowship was like to do Jer-
myn harm rather than to help Selden,
but such was not the case. The elder
man turned a sharp corner, became
interested in actual mining in the
legitimate way, drunk but little and
almost never got into any row. His
old companions viewed the change
with delight, for he had always been
considered dangerous" and the hope
was generally expressed that jim
last love was going to reform and
make worthy man of him.
Matters were in this happy state
when the two became possessed of a
mining claim near Dry Salt lake in
the Ell Paso district, which rapidly
developed into a valuable one, and
from which they took considerable
quantity of gold
Day after day they worked as
neither of them had ever worked be-
fore, and night after night they es-
timated their increasing wealth and

CRICKETERS ENTERTAIN.
A Pleasant Evening Spent in the
Dining Hall Of the Arlington.

The members of Honolulu Crick-

last evening at a dinner which was
given at the Arlington. The din

waiian, American and English
flags and evergreens, and it pre-
sented very artistic appearance.
Covers were laid for thirty-eight
people. A most elaborate menu
was prepared by Manager Krouse,
and everything passed off pleas
antly.

CROWLEY'S DRAMA.
1t Will Show How Sailors Were
Pressed Into Service.

The Opera House is engaged for
Saturday, the 2Sth inst, for the
production of "Oceanica," an Ha-
waiian historical drama, by D. NJ.
Crowley, illustrating the discovery
of these islands by the great navi-
gator Captain James Cook, who
met his death at Kealakekua Bay,
Hawaii, on February Is, 1873.
The representation of "Oceani-
ca" will afford the dramatist an
opportunity to pronounce on the
many conflicting statements re-
specting Captain Cooks mission,
and the events and causes which
led to his tragic death. The play
is divided into four acts, the first of
which, divided into four scenes,
treats of English naval and mara
time life of the period. Greenwich
Fair-which was suppressed in
1S54-will be fairly represented,
with its gypsies, Punch and Judy,
and other shows, pastimes and pen
sioners, closing with what is termed
in modern times, Strengthening" by
the "Press Gang for Cooks ships.

Opinions Differ On Whether the

meet yesterday, and the League
will assemble at noon today at the
office Of w. F. Allen. The Kane
hamehas have refused 10 allow the
game to be called off, and the mat

Those Interested In the Kameha-
mehas say they have proof positive
that that nine had no p-cuniary
interest in buying the game,a as only
one of them had any money wagered
on IT, But the Cr-scents sag they
have just Is positive proof that at
least five Of the students had

: HARE AND HOUNDS.
The Paper Gives Ont, and Other
Difficulties Present Themselves.

Quite crowd gathered at the
corner of Fort and King streets last
evening to see the start in the hare
and hound race. The crossing was
nearly blocked for half-an.hour or
so with those interested in the
newell sport. The start was made
shortly before half-past Z. James
Spencer and Cupid were the hares,
and each carried a small bag of
finely-cut paper.
Six minutes after the hsres
started, the hounds were after
them full tilt. The moon had not
yet risen, and there was a strong
breeze blowing. These two facts
made it most difficult for the
hounds to follow the trail of the
swift hares, SIS the wind blew the
paper in all directions; added to
this, the paper gave out before the
bares had covered the proposed
route.
The course lay through dark
lanes, over fences, across bitches,
and everywhere else that the hares'
ingenuity could devise, and that
they thought would puzzle their
followers. This they did COM
pletely.
The run lasted about an hour
and a half. Those who took part
in it were 7. Price, w. Lyle, J.
Richardson, ]. Wright, w. Bolster,
T White. L. Singer, w. Prestidge,
and H. Hapai, all of the Amateur
Athletic Club; aud H Smith, r.
Knight, L. Beermont, McCandless,
n. Jackson, w. Vida, D Koii, NJ.
Jacobs, L. Compiler, ]. Lance, w.
Smith.
1t is probable that another race
of the same character will take
place in the near future.

spoken 10 about the matter, denied
it, and said that the paper would

Whether or not this means that the
near future will see an English
Japanese newspaper, remains to be
