Five Very Bright Women Have
Gained Splendid Honors.

The women students have again won
the London Daily News. Mr.. Adie
and Mr.. Sedgwick are bracketed as
! first wranglerS; but there is a girl
student in the equivalents" of the
wranglers' lists. Miss Cooke Of Cir
| ton is equal to No. %. This means
! that while Miss Cooke is not officially
on the list, since no woman can have
place there, she has passed an ex-
animation which would have entitled
her to a place but for that absurd
and antiquated prohibition. Cam
bridge at present can do things by
halves. It has resolved to be generous
to women by allowing them to test
their powers in precisely the same
examinations as those which men are
required to pass, but it will not give
them any official recognition nor titu-
lar honor. Officially, Miss Cooke is
but young person who has happened
to have access to the examination pa
perS, and who has been allowed to
answer them for the fun Of the thing.
Yet she stands twenty-eight in com
petence in list of ninety-two.
Another of these airy nothings of
honor without habitation, and, AGA
demically speaking, without a name,
is Miss Johnson, of NEWMAN. This
lady's position would tax the powers
of definition Of the authors Of the
Athanasian creed. She is in the first
division of the first class of Part II.
and consequently at the very head of
that list, for in this most advanced
Of all the mathematical examinations
she has beaten the senior wrangler
Of last year. Yet there is no one in
that division, since there is no man
there. No man has been able to reach
it this year. The utmost limit Of mas
culine attainment in that class is di-
vision No. 2. Division No. l is a blanlv
on the lists and Memo" is write
under its name. All we are permitted
to know is that if Miss Johnson, of
NEWMAN, had been anything but an ,
unconsidered trif1e in petticoats, the p,

pant. Miss Farmer, 100, has ODIdlneu !

Miss Afford was one of four in the

set the example of admitting women
to the titular distinction Of all the
degrees they are able to win. 1t Is

reality when the preceding night has
been Wakeful one and terrible with |
dire forebodings. All seems like a [
dream, and in the first reaction one is
inclined to underTate the dangers that
may have been exaggerated the day
before.
So it was with Ellen Warde.
She was aware of the houSekeeper's
eagerness to drive her away, and
came to the conclusion that this was
only a ruSe to effect her purpose. She
had seen the effect of her former
chance allusion, and was harping on
the same string. Ellen'S natural cour-
| age reasserted itself. Mrs. Priolo had
declared war-well, she would find the
challenge taken up.
When the breakfast bell rang, Ellen
vent down stairs singing softly to
| herself. fastened a crimson rose into
! her belt as she entered the room,
! which relieved her from the necessity
! of encountering the housekeeper's first
glance of startled surprise.
Bless my heart, you're looking fine
and gay this morning! Have you
/ heard good news?' was asked bluntly.
NO; but 1 have received some good
| advice, and mean to profit by it. As
you say, it is of no use grieving for
ever" said Ellen, seating herself at
the table.
"Humph! It's we'll for those who
can forget. There's some who have
no right to be happy and contented
like other folk"
II hope you don't mean yourself,
Mrs. Priolo. [ should be sorry to
| think you were one of those"
The retort goaded the elderly wom-
an almost to madness. She crossed
over to Ellen's side and bent down
till their faces nearly touched.
I'll tell you who ISL she cried,
with spiteful emphasis; but, before
another word could leave her lips, Mr.
| Bowers entrance created a diver
| sion.
What is this?' he asked testify
rs breakfast not ready? The bell
rang some time ago"
Ellen jumped up lightly and drew
his chair to the table. Mrs. Priolo
was just going to tell me a story.
time" she explained, then, turning
to the housekeeper, who was white
with rage-'If you will go and hurry
them in the kitchen. will make the
tea for my uncle"
When she returned Ellen was re-
failing little bits of news that she had
heard from Colonel Severn the night
before, and Mr.. Bowyer was talking
more brightly than he had done for
some time.
How bonny you look, child! You
must come and read to me this morn
ing. I have been afraid to ask you
to do so lately, you have seemed SO
tired and ill.,
But now I am better. and mean
to turn over a new leaf. All the eff
fects of your lecture, Mrs. PriolO!'
The housekeeper maintained dog
ged silence. She dared not retort in
Mr.. Bowers presence; but spite
ful CLEAN in her eyes threatened re-
ta1iation at some future time.
Afterward. when at last the invalid
fell asleep. and she was free from
observation, the mask fell and her
face looked the more worn and trou-
bled from the Hght-heartedness that
she had assumed till then. Discovery
would, she felt sure, come sooner or
! later; etill she might delay. though
not able to avert it.

Skim Milk for Calves.

The Massachusetts experiment sta
ton reports, in its eleventh annual re
port. just received, the first of a pro
posed series of experiments under
taken for the purpose Of aScertaining
what price can be obtained for skim
milk under the conditions prevailing
in that state when it is fed to calves
intended for slaughter for veal al
about ten weeks of age. The question
is one of considerable importance in
all localities where dairying is carried
on to any considerable extent, and by
changing the figures at which grain
additions to the milk fed can be pro-
cured the lessons of the experiment
can ne adapted to other sections where
there is a surplus of skim milk for
which it is desirable to find market
Seven calves were fed for an aver
age Of ten weeks, the feeding begin
ming at from two to three days old;
two were grade Short-horns and there
was one each of grade Jersey, Ayr
shire, Durham, Holstein and "un-
known" breeds. For the first week or
ten days they received equal parts of
skim and whole milk. After this the
liquid portion of the feed was skim
milk, with the addition of meals to a
part of the calves, which were gen.
orally fed dry. The stomach of the
young calf being delicate, it is not
able to digest much grain during the
first two months, but if it is fed dry
it will not eat enough to hurt 1t. Be

CHAPTER VIII.

So you sent my poor boy away!
Colonel Severn was the speaker. He
had strolled over to the Dover House
one evening after dinner, and Mr.
Bowyer being indisposed and in his
own room. it so happened that fol
the last half hour he and Ellen Warde
had been in the pretty dimly-nghted
Sitting-rOOm alone.

have wished for him a sweeter wife;
if for my own sake l was selfishly
glad. can't you understand that 1t
would have been hard for me to lose a
friend, even though at the same mo-
ment I gained a daughter? OF course
it might be possible to combine the
two-only l should not care for such
a combination"

rather a comical expression about his
mouth, Il have never relt the need

James Bennett, alias 'Bos'n Ben,"
the man who knocked out the Adj
IairaI of the now defunct Hawaiian
navy, proved to be strong attrac-
ton yesterday morning, and as re-
suit the District Court was well filed.
Bennett appeared smiling, as usual,
and he did not show any signs OF
worriment or fear for the future. Ben
is considered an enigma by great
many people, and particularly so by
Custom House guards, who have been
making desperate efforts to catch him
in some unlawful practice. The fact
that he is under arrest now Is due to
policeman and bowling crowd of
natives, and not to the eagle-eyed
people who are supposed TO prevent

'AdUertiser" artist sci while she re-
mains in port During working hours
he makes many trips up town, and the
suposition is that he does not take
these short walks for his health. 1t
seems that he is not bothered when
ever he passes out the gate, and ac-
cording to story told by laborer on
! the dock, he wheeled a barrow out the
main entrance to the wharf on last
Saturday. 1t was supposed to contain
#refuse, and the chances are that all the
eyes could see was refuse, but beneath
the covering something more valuable
than garbage was hidden.
On last Tuesday morning Ben
walked down the gang plank OF the
Australia with empty hands. He
started for the head of the wharf, but
noticed policeman who was standing
at the gate. He then wheeled around
and walked out a gate which leads to
the Irter-Island wharf. In the mean-
time the policeman's suspicious were
aroused, and he followed Bennett, who
took roundabout way and finally
reached the boiler-room of Lucas
mill. While all this was going on the
officer was blowing his whistle and
did not desist until very large crowd
of people was attracted. The pur-
sued man left his hiding place which
was entered by the policeman who
found twelve tins of opium that were
supposed to have been dropped by Ben
nett.
The alleged smuggler's trouble was
not over at this juncture, and, as he
walked down Fort street toward the
wharf a bowling mob was at his
heels. Some men in the mob were
armed with truck stakes and other
dangerous weapons, and it looked for
awhile as though Bennett would be
dubbed to death. He had a knife in
one hand and a paint scraper in the
other. The police officers were afraid
to approach him for fear of being cut
into mincemeat, and finally "Jack"
Lucas forced his way to where Bennett
was and asked him for the knife. 1t
was Immediately given up, and then
8 policeman walked bravely up and
placed Bennett under arrest. He was
charged with having opium in his
possession, and later an additional
charge, that of an assault with a
deadly weapon on Officer Holi, was
entered against his name.

his preliminary examination. The

hurley WINS.
He and jim Darlington Have a
Friendly Contest.

One of the prominent nails OF
the CITY was the scene of two box
ing contests last evening, that at
tracted considerable attention from
the sports" of the town. The
first event was between Nick Bur
ley, of San Francisco, and jim
Darlington, both being fighters
well known here. Owing to some
hitch in the arrangements, the
contest, which had been set for D
o'clock, did not come off until
after 6.
Burley, who had at least fifty
pounds the best of his antagonist,
won the contest in the fourth
round. Burley is a much larger
man than Darlington, but the
latter is plucky fighter, and took
his punishment like a man. Bur
lev had also the advantage of sew
eral inches In his reach, and Bar
rington was not in it from the
jump.
When time was called, the men
took their corners, and Darlington
won the toss. The gloves used
weighed four ounces. The men
both looked in good condition, but
it was evident that Darlington was
outclassed.
In the first round, Burley forced
the fighting, and after two minutes
it was evident that Darlington was
beaten. He fought pluckily, how
ever, and refused to take his de-
feat. When the three minutes
were up he went to his corner look
ing groggy and short of wind
Round 2. Darlington came up
game but winded. Burley forced
the fight, and kept Darlington
against the ropes. harrington be-
gan to realize his defeat, and kept
clinching to avoid punishment
Round 8. Burley forced the
fighting, and Darlington still con-
tinued his clinching tactics. Bar
rington was knocked down three
times in his round, and was worn
out when time was called.
Round 4. Barrington's face was
swelling when he came up for this
round, which was the last. He
was worn out and knew it. He
fought shy of Burley and clinched
continually. After fighting two
minutes and twenty seconds,
he was knocked down and counted
out.
When the fight was over Burley
was as fresh as when he started.
Darlington, however, was COM
pletely done up, and was a thor
oughly whipped man.
After a short wait, Charles
Laney and George Hermance, of
San Francisco, had friendly set
to that resulted in favor of the lat
ter. This was the fight of the
evening. Hermance was the lighter
man, and Laney was the favorite
all through the fight. 1t was
close contest until the eighth round,
and Laney seemed to have the best
of it until the eighth and last
round. Then Hermance, after
feinting several times, gave the La
Blanche swing and landed his OPP
ponent on the floor, winning the
fight.
About thirty people were present
and greatly enjoyed the contests.
Burley, the winner of the first
fight, has offered to fight anyone in
Honolulu for any amount He in
tends going to San Fran
cisco on the Australia today,
but will make arrangements for a
contest before he leaves, if such a
thing is possible.

EDITOR HERALD desire to state
through your columns some facts in re-
gard to a ditch enterprise that has been
before the pubic for The past two years.
I refer to the canal proposition that wa,
duly organized, surveyed. cross sectiont d
with all plans. specifications and details
gone into carefully by some Of the most
competent engineers in this locality. The
water appropriations we're made and the
canal to carry 400 cnbic feet OF water per
second OF time. This canal was to water
$3.50 acres Of dry sarebrush land in what
10 known as Wide Hollow. 1t also GOV.
cred $500 acres of the Ahtanum valley
thus securing an absolute water right for
that localit,. Competent engineers Wis
tied North Yakima in the interest oil
contractors who proposed to construct
this canal, and after going over the en-.
tire proposition carefully made a very
favorable report. One Of these gentlemen
was the assistant chief engineer OF the
Great Northern railway, and as the result
OF their report contractors have offered to
take hold OF the proposition and carry the
same to successful termination. Their
first proposition is to sell water right at
$25 per acre, payable in from FIVE to ten
years at seven per cent. per annum on
the deferred payments. They will also
give bond for $l50.000 for the faithful
performance Of the work, agreeing to COM
plete the work within four months after
the first day Of June, said bond to be APP
proved by both banks of our city. 1t has
also been stated by parties who did not
know anything about this proposition
that II was to be bonded ditch, and
would thus jeopardize the interest Of par
ties holding water rights under contract
in this company. Here is the eleventh
section of the article Of agreement drawn
from this contract: 1T is hereby ex-
pressly agreed that the party OF the first
part hereby conveys to the party Of the
second part q perpetual water right for
the uses OF said premises as aforesaid, in
