FOR HIS BRAVERY.
How Edward, Prince of Wales, Won the
Title of Black Prince.

Itle Oh bidCh ITiuCe.
In the summer of the year 1916 Ed
ward III crossed the English channel
with 80, 300 men to invade France. At
Crecy, not far from the Seine he was
met on the 26th of August by King
Philip with 1870, 600.
While the French were coming ON
in great disorder there was a total
eclipse of the sun, accompanied by a
terrible storm, after which the sun came
out brightly, shining directly in tie
faces of the French, but on the backs of
the English.
The first charge was made by Is, 900
GenOese bowmeD, who came forward
with a shout, as though to scare the
English. The latter, who had been or
dered to lie fiat on the earth, now arose,
stepped forward a pace and let go their
arrows so fast that they seemed like
binding snow.
The Genoese fled, and the French king
ordered them to be cut down, so that
they would not hinder tho rest of the
army.
of Wales, who was in command of one
division, was surrounded by French
knights, who, recognizing his rank, de-
termined to capture or kill him. A mes
sage was sent to the king telling him
that the prince was hard pressed.
rs my son dead or hurt or on the
earth felled?' he asked.
mo, sire, was the reply.
"Well, then, said the king, return
to them that sent you and tell them to
send no more to me as long as my son
is alive. | command them to suffer the
child to win his spurs, for this day
should be his"
The young prince was indeed i'll great
danger. At one time he was endorsed
and struck to the ground, but one of his
Welsh knights, who carried the great
dragon standard. threw it over him as
he lay and stood upon it till the enemy
was forced back.
Soon the tide of battle had turned for
the English. Edward came down from
a high hill overlooking the field and
took his son in his arms and kissed him.
You are my true son." he said.
Right royalty have you acquitted your
self and shown yourself to be sover
eign."
Young Edward on this occasion wore
a suit of black armor, which so contrast
ed with his crimson and gold surcoat
and the brilliantly fair complexion Of
his round, boyish face that he was call
ed from that time the Black Prince

Did His Duty Well.
From the Texas Blade.

FROM the 1e&aS BIaue.
"Capt. Druse did magnificent
work in selecting the proper men
as special officers at the polls. Con.
sidering the bad feelings engen-
dered before election, the amount
Of good order preserved at the polls
was remarkable, chiefly on account
Of our perfect police surveillance
Capt. Druse did not select ward
bummers and toughs to keep order,
but every man selected had his
representation for responsibility
and peacefulness thoroughly inves'
tigated before he donned the badge
Of police officer, and was intrust-
ed with the duty OF keeping

A High Calling,

Judge Sulzberger spoke truth which
is too often forgotten when he said, in
a speech at the high school. that there
is not teacher in the land that has a
higher function than has the lowest
teacher in the lowest class of the prima-
ry school. They have souls before them,
and the faculties of those active, rest
less souls have all to be called forth. ."
In these few fitting words are embraced
the whole scope and possibilities of ed
ucation, and they make the primary
teachers calling in point of dignity and
responsibility the peer of any vocation
that concerns mankind. -Philadelphia

PLAIN POINTERS.

WRITTEN FOR THE LIGHT, BY OBSERVER.
Anarchism will not find encour-
agement in a patriotic, law-abid-
ing community.
The voice of the people is strong
er than the mightiest political
rings.
The ballot speaks louder than
words.
Only the sinners need fear. A
newspaper having the courage and
grit to voice it's honest sentiments
can not be scared by anarchistic
bluffs.
Some erstwhile political giants
can not be found even with the aid
Of a microscope.
Pure air for health pure politics
for prosperity.
The racket to create a race Ques-
ton in the recent campaign did
not work successfully.
To "ShOrt Snappers:" You are
all right. The people are with you.
To the little herd of anarchists:
The finger of scOrn will not, be
pointed at you as often as you de-
served. 1t is ''cruelty to animals"
To the disappointed office hunter:
Please don't kick. Take your medi-
cine like a man.
To the "fellah" betting on the
wrong horse: 1t is only the natural
result when money is more abund-
ant than common sense.
To the traitors: Your name is
Dennis.
To the hypocritic journals: The
power of the "press" will lose it's
power if it is used as a mouth
piece for oppressive corporations.
To the wOuld-be satirists and
cartoon designers: Before poking
your fun be sure that you have the
right man, then go ahead.

A Narrow Escape.

A collision which took place
between o tramcar and private
carriage last Monday very nearly
turned out disastrous. Mrs. G.
A. Brown and her little son and
Mrs. G. Arnold were in the car
riage, which was standing outside
the store of Ehlers & Co.. and
evidently close to the track. A
tramcar came along and, as it
seems and as the ladies claim,
ignoring the carriage altogether
ran into it, took off the wheels an d
threw the oc cuponts upon the
sidewalk where they all miracul-
ously csc aped any injury. The
ladies state that the driver of the
tramcar did not ring the bell, and
as the. back Of the carriage was
turned to him they had no means
of hearing the approach of the
car. II is believed that strict
Investigation will be held in the
case to find where the blame of
this accident lies. The carriage
was totally wrecked.

Race Track Notes.

The baseball event on the 18th
of June at the race track promises
to be very interesting.
1t is understood that the follow
ing crack wheelmen will start in
both races Angus, Giles, Dex-
ter, Atkinson, Chapman, Sylvano, ,
Walker and Halstead. Atkinson
and Halstead have both been un-
der the weather, and it may be
necessary for them to draw out,
but it is hoped they will have re-
cuperated sufficiently to be on the
turf on the great day. Cornwell's $
horses warmed the track yester-
day morning. Although it was at
an early hour there was quite a
number Of spectators, each Of
whom has got different time fol-
the horses which we're worked.
The Colonel smiles but he does n
give time away this year--not OF
his own horses at least.
The Gay horses were plated
yesterday and it was generally re-
ported that they would be worked
this morning. Half dozer
sports have probably caught Their
death from cold sitting up al
night in the Park waiting tt
catch Stanford's time.
1t is expected that Duke Spen
Ger, Autonomy and CornwelP
new horse will be entered for tn,
half mile dash. The colonel
is very nice but she has got
name which sounds too much lik
"Miowera' to guarantee her as
favorite. The owners of trotter

the day comes they will all b

and easy fashion that the Asiatic
hordes in Hawaii must be rooted
out. AS soon as the echo of his
speech reached Hawaii let
ter framed in rather strong
terms went from the Japanese
legation to the Foreign Office,
asking if the sentiments expressed
by Minister Thurston were also
the sentiments of the government
of Hawaii, and when the "rooting
OUT business was to begin.
The Foreign Office spent pre-
sumably day in finding suitable
language for Mr.. Thurston and
then a most polite letter went to
the legation, disavowing Mr..
Thurston and his speech, and ex-
pressing strong belief that he
never could have said such
things, together with the strong.
est assurance Of the undying
love entertained by Hawaii
for the Asiatic hordes here,
and the rising sun shone again
and looked peaceable.
We give these few instances to
show that the best reason for the
supposed friendship of the Jap
anese in Hawaii towards the gov
ernment can be found in the fact
that they have so far had then
own way and always been treated
with the highest consideration
But one of these days they will
ask for more" and their specia
request may be of such nature
that it will be impossible for the
government to grant it. If The
friendly" feelings can sur
vive refusal the future will
tell. In the meantime it woult
perhaps be well for the COM
munity if for the present fur
ther immigration was stopped. L
was understood that such was t.

ure for japan Of W. N. Armstrong

eral" doesn't travel for pleasur,

money in Japanese immigration
schemes. ii'

According to American papers
the bennington was supposed to
have left San Francisco for Homo
lulu on the 28th ult. to take the
place OF the Philadelphia. 1t was
also stated that Admiral Beardslee
wo uld transfer his flag to the
3 ennington. So far the Admiral
is without any official informatio n
in regard to the matter, and the
officers of the Philadelphia do
not consider it plausible that an
Admirals flag would be hoisted
on man-Of-war of the size of the
Bennington.

Observations.

Judge Cooper is one of the
most energetic and industrious
judges Hawaii ever has known.
He speeds business in a man
ner which is not quite agree
able to the many lawyers who
have become-we will not say
lazy, but only acclimatized in
Hawaii. Yesterday the judge
refused to drag the special
term out ad dntimatamn and
several lawyers objected hard
when extension of time was
not granted. The judge said
that he had been accused of
neglecting his duty and he
proposed to get the cases on
the calendar up to date. He
thought that he had made the
members of the bar under
stand this, as he had told them
his ideas in plain English. Min
lister w. r. Castle looked very
sour and didn't think that the
Judge could have spoken in
French. Other pleasant re-
marks were passed, but the
term will be pushed, for which
all litigants ought to be truly
thankful.

1t is not alone Tammany
Hawaii that is incenssd against
the appointment of w. R. Cas-
tie as Minister to Washington,
as was limited by the INDEPEN-
DENT yesterday might be the
case. Grave and reverend
seigniors of the Legislature of
the Republic say it is the
greatest mistake the Govern
ment has ever made. A mans
foes are certainly in this case
those of his own household.
The greatest difficulty of those
who destroyed Hawaii's indie
pendence for the sake of office
and sugar bounty is that they
cannot agree over the division
of spoils and they have failed
to get the sugar bounty. If
Mr.. Castle had sacrificed his
life in the late riot he
would have a gorgeous
monument erected to him by
those who now curse his good
luck in getting that easy billet
at Washington. The place
should have been given to
either Murray of the "Lague"
or Kennedy of the Foundry >
both of whom have directed
the Star in it's different cam
paigns, first, to exasperate the
real people of Hawaii, and,
secondly, to pull the wool over
the eyes of the dupes who took
up arms for annexation only to
find, when they had done THEN
part, that all they were want
ed for was to place power in
the hands of men who needed
it to perpetuate coolie slavery
in Hawaii for the benefit OF
their own pockets, and obtain
all the best offices for them
selves and their relatives,
which they never could have
obtained through the choice Of
the people.

The Japanese in Hawaii.

The Government organ has
lately been quite excited in its
exertion to show that the Japs-
nese in Hawaii are not danger
Gus, not even an important factor
in the political situation. We are
told that the japanese Consul has
returned from Maui and that
everything was lovely among the
people there. 1t is pointed out
with pride that the Japanese
minister to Washington (who never
saw Hawaii) has assured an inter-
viewer that there was nothing ex-
cept good feeling among the jap
anese in Hawaii, and that they
were not men of military training.
In fact the organ pooh-poohs the
idea that the steadily increasing
number Of japanese in Hawaii is
matter which deserves the most
serious and thorough considera-
ton, and talks in supercilious
tone about japanese "alarmists."
The fact is that the organ does
MT know much about the true
condition here. The Japanese
have so far been peaceful and APP
parently friendly, because the
policy of the Government has
been to give way to them on all
points and constantly stroke them
the right way. But when
the day comes when it will
become necessary to adopt
frmer attitude against them the
organ will probably come to a diff
ferent conclusion.
There have been several cases
of friction between the Japanese
Legation in Hawaii and the For
eign office. The Japanese govern
ment insisted on securing the
same rights for it's citizens here
as those granted to other foreign
ers. 1t was Of course bitter pill
for government which only re-
cognizes as it's superiors the brave
men who shoulder guns and de-
liver anti-Asiatic talk at Amer
lean League meetings, and who
never let an opportunity pass by
to make anti-Asiatic planks. The
Japanese were firm, and the pill
was swallowed, and to-day every
Japanese has the same rights and
the same facilities or difficulties
to become voters, and exercise the
franchise as have English, Ger
man or American residents in Ha.
waii. The Japs gained their point
and they are friendly.
When the usual cry for cheap
laborers arose from the throats OF
the planters on another occasion
t was decided to import 5000
or more Chinese. AS soon
az a statement to that effect had
been published the attention Of
the Foreign Office was called tc
the fact that there WAS an under
standing between the Japanese
and Hawaiian governments, un-
der which the latter pledged it
self not to import any consider
able number of Chinese at any
time. In fact it was on that con-
dition that Japanese immigrants
ever we're introduced here. Our
Foreign Office tried to dodge out
of the understanding, but it was
due to such frmness that it gave
way and no Chinese were i'm
ported. Friendly smiles again
wreathed the lips of our polite
friends of the chrysanthemum.
At another time Mr.. Thurston
who is somewhat inclined to talk
through his hat-got up at &
mesting in Washington or some
whore else and stated in his free
