A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station ? One generator
can furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-
iugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways and
HOSTS also furnish light and power for
a radius of from Is to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look alter in your mill.
Where water power is available, it
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY is
now ready to furnish Electric Pants
and Generators of all descriptions at
short notice, and also has on hand a
large stock of Wire, Chandeliers. and all
Electrical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt atten.
ton, and estimates furnished for Light
ing and Power Plants; also attention is
given to House and Marine Wiring.

Wo,shipin< the God of Whfskey

According to the Evangelisch-
Lutherische Kirchen ZeituDg, Berlin,
q horrible caricature of the CONVEX
sion OF Heathens to the Christian
faith is being enacted In CAMERON.
The old services of the fetishes is
prohibited under German rule, but
the Duallas have no intention to re-
nounce Heathenism, and have now
organized themselves into q body
having all the appearance OF a relig-
ious community. The authorities
have been asked to investigate the
matter. Our contemporary says: To
find a substitute for the worship of
idols, the Dusllas have organized the
Almels Church" Almela is the
god OF whiskey, and we'll known all
through the coast districts. To keep
up tine semblance of a religious COM
munity, the Almelss demand that
intending members of their congre-
CATION pass an examination" to
prove their fitness. The convert ia
then immersed after the manner of
the Baptists. When he arises from
the water he Is given a glass Of
liquor, and EXPORTED to remember
that liquor shall henceforth be his
god. The Convert" is thus bound
to drink plenty of alcohol Meetings
are held on Sundays, and the leader
takes book from which he pretends
to read, but in reality discourses on
the harmlessness and pleasures of
vice. Many people OF BODgo have
sought admittsbce into this body.
They were told thst A,mela worship
came from Europe, being one of the
many religions sects of the Chris
tlsDs--TrAnslateh and Condensed

CHESTER DOYLE LIBELLED
Publication Of a Scurrilous Article
in the 8. z. Gall.

In the s. F. Call of March 9th
there appeared a lengthy and sour
rilous article, in which it was claim
ed Chester A. Doyle had been
prevented leaving the islands on
account OF heavy Indebtedness. The
article in question contained numer-
ous specifications and is without the
slightest degree of truthfulness. Mr..
Doyle has secured sworn afidavits
from Mr.. Collacco and the Call cor.
respondent in Honolulu, declaring
the falsity and responsibility of the
communication. Besides these
Deputy Collector McStocker has
certified in writing that no one made
a protest against the granting of
passport to Mr.. Doyle.
These documents will be forward
ed nv the Australia to the editor of
the Call demanding an unqualified
denial OF the charges contained in
the false aud ibellous publication.

SEED OYSTERS.

Joseph Marsden, Commissioner
Of Agriculture and Forestry, re.
ceived by the Australia yesterday
5000 seed oysters for experimental
planting.
One thousand will be sent TO
Kaneohe today, where they will be
planted in suitable locations by
Mr.. Mendonca. The remaining
200C will be taken to Eva and de-
posted in various places in Pearl
Lochs.
The existence of large beds of
shells on the shores of Pearl Har-
Dor is evidence that oysters -four
ished there in ancient times.
Opinion has been expressed by
capable authorities that a volcanic
eruption of hot water totally de-
stroyed them.
The success which has attended
the experiments of Mr.. Colburn
in planting oysters at his place in
Pearl City gives promise that the
efforts of the Bureau of Agriculture
will be attended with further adj
vancement In that line. It is to be
hoped that at no distant day the
citizens of Honolulu will be able to
enjoy the succulent bivalve fresh
from the sea and at a cost that will
bring them within the reach of all.

GENERAL ORDER NO. %.

The Commander-in-chie on behalf Of
the Government, desires to express his
appreciation of the meritorious services
of the officers and men of the National
Guard of Hawaii, the regular police, the
special police, the Citizens Guard, and
others rendered in the field and on guard
in Honolulu incident to the work of sup
pressing the late formidable instruction
against the authority and existence of the
Republic of Hawaii.
The courage and cheerful readiness to
incur any danger, exposure and hardship
shown by every branch of the National
forces has been beyond praise.
Every class and condition of society
has been honorably represented among
the defenders of the Republic. Native
Hawaiians and Hawaiians of foreign des-
cent, Americans, Eng'ishmen, Germans
and Portuguese and others have fought
side by side in the fl I'D and stood guard
together under circumstances which
have demanded heroism, and fortitude
and the quality of self-sacrifce. Labor
ing men, mechanics, clerks, business and
professional men have been comrades on
equal footing.
No act OF cruelty to the enemy or cow
ardice has been recorded.
The Government is to be congratulated
upon the harmony which has prevailed
among all branches of its forces, which
has been a paramount element of its mill
itary strength.
The work of the Military Commission
has been important and arduous, and
has been conducted in a spirit of de-
votion to duty, Of fairness and firmness,
which has won general respect and con-
fdence.
The opening of hostilities found the
commissariat unprepared for the large
demands upon it caused by the sudden
calling out of a large armed force. II
this emergency a number of patriotic
women came TO the assistance CT the
Government and by generous contribu-
tions of food to the men in the field and
on guard in Honolulu added greatly 10

Commander-in-Chie desires to express
the thanks of the Government.
While casu lilies among the defenders
of the Government have fortunately been
few, the countrJ has been called upon to
mourn the untimely death of the Hon.
Charles L. Carter, who, bravely expos
ing himself at the beginning of HOSTILE
ties, was fatally wounded, whereby life
full of promise in public affairs was lost
to the country. Special recognition is also
due to Lieut.. w. Holi Thornton and d. w
Lokana of the police force, and Herman
F. Ludewig, Lieutenant OF Co. F, N g.

A Sport That Has Been Popular
For Many Centuries
1T HAS BEEN UNIVERSAL
The Various Styles of Wrestling Now
Most in Vogue
Japanese Giant Who Claims to Be the Cham
pion of the World--Some Local Matters
of Note.

Wrestling is the oldest of the sports.
1t has outlved the ages since the ear
liest time that profane history tells
us of. 1t has been an universal sport,
and finds its devotees among the people
OF every country, almost, upon the face
of the earth.
The Romans were crest wrestlers in
the days when every Roman was a
sport. The japanese have had wrest-
lers for centuries, and the world's cham
pion wrestler today is japanese.
Among the Scotchmen great wrestlers
have been known in every epoch of
Scotch history and in England it has
been the same. History mentions its
popularity during the days of Caesar and
the great Roman Empire, whose rough,
brutal and savage tastes contrasted
strongly with the art as cultivated by the
Greeks.
Today the Anglo-Saxon race stands pre-
eminently above all others as the expo
nent of wrestling, and on more than one
occasion the advantages of the art over
boxing in Il scrimmage have been demon
strated. In no other branch of athletics
does science act as a foil to heavy oppo-
nents when opposed by much lighter men
to such degree as it does when exeer-
cised by thorough master of the art of
wrestling in all its fine and delicate

A DOUBLE BRIDGE.

points; hence wrestling takes prominent
place in the athletic exercises of the lead
ing gymnasiums and clubs all over the
country, and there are hundreds of wrest-
lers, both amateur and professional,
while the school boys who initiate the
professionals early show evidence OF skill.
Wrestling itself is the art of forcing an
antagonist to the ground without resort
ing to blows or kicks. 1t is trial of
strength between two opponents standing
face to face, who strive to throw one an
other As a gymnastic exercise it found
great favor among the ancients.
Almost every country has its own style
OF wrestling. The styles now in vogue
are catch-as catch lean, Gr;eco Roman,
Cumberland and Westmoreand, collar
and-elbow, Lancashire, Cornish and
Devonshire, and German. OF these the
first mentioned is the most popular, as it
enables the wrestler to carry the cultiva-
ton of the body to it's highest attainable
capacity, and then teaches the manner in
which the physical force can be applied
with most beneficial results.
AS recognized sport or pastime, wrest-
ling is of comparatively recent origin in
this country. 1t is, however, now making
rapid strides forward. In England it is
no uncommon event for twelve or fifteen
thousand people to witness a contest be-
tween two prominent athletes, Cumber-
land, Westmoreland catch -as-catch can,
and Cornish and Devonshire being the
most prevalent styles in the tight little
island.
Perhaps the most exciting style of any
is that practiced in Japan for in that
country, strange and outrageous though
it may seem, it has been the barbarous
custom, after the contest, to put the man
who has been unfortunate enough to lose
to cruel death, practice fast falling
The herald., 1895-02-10

Wrestling as means of self-defense has
number of advantages. Most admirers
OF the sport do not look upon it in this
light, viewing it not exactly as a weapon
but rather as an exercise There are a
number of holds, such as the bullock,
cross-buttock, bacll-heel and strangle (the
latter, though barred in contests, might
come in handy as a means of self-defe nse
in case OF necessity, which might be used
as greatly advantageous in emergencies,
when, attacked by ruffans. If to the
knowledge of wrestling something of box
ing is added, the combination makes an
opponent for whom considerable degree
of respect is highly appropriate.
Talho, japanese, is at present the
greatest wrestler on earth. He stands 6
feet inches in height and is big in pro-
portion. He has met and defeated all the
wrestlers of Japan, including Komishki,
who once defeated all the worlds cham
pions in a triumphant tour of the world.
Charles Wilmer, who claims to be the
champion Graeco Roman wrestler of the
world, defeated Alfred Wood, champion
ch-as-catch- wrestler of Ohio in a
mixed bout at Cincinnati, in three straight.
In Los Angeles there are several men
who rank high in amateur circles as wrest-
lerS, men who enter q match simply out
a liking for the terrific sport. At the last
boxers night of the Athletic Club one
preliminary event was match at wrest-
ling between Bobby and Lewis which,
from scientific standpoint even, was
really great event Bobby won two out
of three falls and demonstrated his SUI
perior ability over Lewis, but he had not
much margin to go on and might at an
other time be downed by the man he
bested then. Altogether there are some
thing like half a dozen men in the city
who are worthy of recognition as anna
teur wrestlers. The majority are mem
bers of the Athletic Club and are under
the direction of Professor Blessing.

mentioned, are men of national reputa-
ton, and ale entitled to wear champion
ship emblems.
1t is not, however, the amateur who
claims the honor of popularizing the
sport in this country, but the professional,
who has devoted the best of his days to
its encouragement, while the amateur has
proved worthy emuator of the art
In this country the CumberlanS and
Westmoreland style is practically I'M
known, catch as-catch- can, collar andel-
bow and Gr9co-Roman being the three
distinctive styles most engaged in and
encouraged In the opinion of competent
authorities the catch catch can style is
UNNECESSARILY superior to all others as a
means both of exercise and of defense.
1t is without doubt the most natural
way of testing the strength, and, unlike
the Greco Roman style, all holds are rec
nized with the exception of the full
Nelson,' for since the disastrous results
of Evan Lewis famous strangle" hold,
this has been barred in amateur contests,
on account of its being an exhibition of
brutal strength and unfairness, to the ex
cluson of scientific exhibitions. In the
''strangle' hold, an opponents head is
caught under the arm and the unfortun-
ate man is compelled to acknowledge de-
feat or be choked into insensibility. The
brutality of this hold has caused its con-
demnation by true lovers of the sport, and
very properly the 'strangle" is now u
thing of the past.
Greco Roman is practced mainly by
professionals, as it gives more scope to
long contest between two evenly matched
men than catch-as- catch-can. In this
style no catching or holding below the
waist is allowed, and both shoulders must
touch the floor simultaneously to consti-
tute fall no tripping is allowed, back
heeling is prohibited and neither the but
took nor the cross bullock can be used.
Here, as in other styles, strength plays
an important part, it being necessary to
bring into use all ones resources when an
opponent is trying to break bridge.
Among the many holds the Nelson is
the most popular one with wresters, while
the half-N eson and half-watch-lock are
next in order. The double Nelson was
once a dangerous hold, but in 1870 several
matches terminated fatally from this grip
and the authorities decided to bar it from
all contests.
Of the other holds, those most practiced
are the leg and arm, half-Neson and
crotch, quarter N elson, back hammer, lock
and half Nelson, double bridge, back body,
neck and arm, hip-lock head lock, side
roll and elevated arm and leg hold

into disuse. Buttiass an opponent through
1.-The limits of the ring is considered a
Bmark OF superiority by THE japanese.
X Like other sports, wrestling. has not
reached the same stage of perfection in
the amateur as among the profess
SIGNALS. In the latter class William Null
doom, Evan Lewis, Joe Acton, Hugh
Leonard, Ernest Roher, William Coupe,
George Steadman, Jack Carkeek, Tom
Connors and Carl Abs are head and
shoulders above all other competitors,
each being a master in his own class.
This degree of perfection on the part OF
the professionals may be accounted for
by the fact that they practice constantly
! to perfect themselves, as their means OF
existence depend on their proficiency.
The amateurs usually follow the sport
as u source Of amusement, looking upon
the professional chiefly as an instructor.
There are some who stand out cminently
in this branch, among whom may be men
