Was Saturdays Football
Game Says Mr.. Carter.
Takes Exception to Opinions tic
Contrary-Says Good Things
For Honest Sport.

MR.. EDITOR:-Kindly allow few
words of protest 10 the unfair report
in this mornings issue of Saturday S
football game, for it seriously reflects
on the matter, as the official, whose
business it was to enforce the rules
against unnecessary roughness.
If any of the spectators or your re-
porter can name the player or players
on the Regiment team who were re-
peatedly creating extra bruises on the
bodies of their opponents" or who de
Iiberately punched his opponent as
hard as he was able" it is duty they
or he owes to fair, square sport, say
nothing of the future of football in
Honolulu, that they or he state the Oc-
casion and give the name, if not pub
licly, at least to the captain OF the
accused team. Certainly the writer
would consider it a favor to be so in
formed. 1t is with sincerity that the
writer publicly announces that he did
not see a fist closed or single blow
struck in anger, and that on the con-
trary there were evidences throughout
the game of a fairness and friendliness
which to him as an old football player
were gratifying.
May he suggest that the Advertiser
should not in the interest of good
healty football publish statements in
detriment to the fair name of either
side without certainty of the grounds
for such statements, unless, OF course,
prompted by spirit Of malice, rather
than that of a disinterested supporter
of clean amateur sport; also, that
those spectators whose opinion you
quote, do an injustice and an injury
to football rather than assist it, when
they become so partisan as to put all
the blame on one team for any slight
exhibition of anger or passion there
may have been on the part of one or
two players in the excitement and heat
of the game, ignoring any previous
prOVocation or circumstance.
The day has gone by when foot
ball player can afford to be offside,
lose his temper or for one moment take
his entire attention from either the
combination of play his opponents or
his own team are about to execute.
Team work is the essence of the pres
ent game, and all familiar with it
know that the combinations are only
successful where each one does his
part; every one on the team must as
sist in each play; good player has no
time to waste on his Individual OPP
ponent, and nothing is more democrat
izing to a team or more discouragine
to the operation of it than a failure
to gain ground, the inevitable result
where anger and blows take the place
of a cool, quick conception of the op-
ponents play and it's obstruction or the
agility and brains to at a glance see
and be where you can best serve your
own team. GEO. r. CARTER,
Honolulu, Nov. 10Th, 1896.

w. w. DIMOND.

A wrinkle, new to Homo
lulu, is old blue china. 1t
has been the rage in the
United States for six months
past, and in Europe for as
many months before. It's the
sort your great grandmothers
and their children used; eX-
cept that modern methods of
manufacture and decorating
enables the potters to make
the pieces thinner and the
decorations finer.
Those people who. want
something finer than may be
had in Delft, can be accom-
modated with "Belleek.
This is much better quality
and IS decorated IN a more
artistic manner.
For plain every day use,
the Delft is the best, because
it is made to wear and to
use. We have full sets and
single pieces of it, which
will soon find their way into
the homes of Honolulu.
Delft is not a fad; it was
used many years ago and
was fashionable for a full
century before we came on
ismundane sphere.,It place
was taken by other and
Frenchier patterns; now we
are back to the old German
windmill pictures. Come
and see them.

SELF DENIAL.
What the Salvation Army is Do
ing in the World.

What the Salvation Army is Do
ing in the World.
The Salvation Army is a worldwide
affair. 1t is only some 80 odd years
old, and is at present in more than 40
different countries. AS far as posi-
BILE each branch of the work is self
supporting, yet in making new adj
vancement and new openings money is
needed.
To meet this demand one week in a
year is observed as "self denial week,
in which our members are called upon
to deny themselves of some pleasant
or necessary thing and devote the
money to the extension of the work.
In this annual effort the outside pub
lie has very heartily taken part. Sew
enteen reasons for helping the self
denial" effort are here given:
l. Because we help strengthen the
hands of every section of the Christian
Church.
2. Because there are 5000, 900 proba
bic drunkards, while S2,269, 100000 are
spent annually in drink, and we are
the largest temperance organization in
the world.
3. Because there are at least 107 ,000,
900 criminals in the world and we have
at present II prison-gate homes, Is
shelters and food depots, 81 labor bu-
reaus, 81 factories and z farm colonies
to enable us to deal with and assist
them. $4,000 of the destitute outcasts
are under orr care today
4. Because there are known to be l.
100000 fallen women in the world, and
we have "a rescue homes passing 1000
women through them annually, of
whom 80 per cent are permanently
helped.
3. Because in the vilest and poorest
parts of the worlds great cities we
have SO slum posts, from which the
officers visit over $4,000 families an
nually and nurse 5000 sick persons
annually.
6. Because in one decade there are
100000 suicides, many of them are
mere boys and girls, and the Salvation
Army has only 1904 corps for Crap
ping with the wickedness and miser-
les which lead souls to dispair.
T. Because, when the tide of hurt
full and goddess literature is ever ris-
ing higher, 81 600, 900, books, pamphlets
and newspapers are circulated annu-
ally in 81 different languages, all teach
ing the evils of sin and the grace of
God through Christ Jesus.
s. Because there are S94, 900, 900

Foreman Substituted,

Chicago, Sept. 9.-Gen. J. c. Black, who is United States district attorney in Chi cago, sent his expected letter this morn ing to the Illinois committee of the na- tional democratic party declining the nomination for governor, which was given him August 26.
 The letter was read to the state central committee at 8 meeting at the Palmer house, and after a recess the commit tee unanimously selected Ex-Consress- man William S. Forman of East St. Louis to make the race for governor. MT. For man was present, being a member of the committee, and his acceptance was known in advance. Having already been placed on the state ticket for the office of attorney-general, Daniel V. Samuels of Chicago was nominated to fill the va cancy caused by MT. Formans elevation. This preserves the geographical balance of the ticket. The committeeman said MT Forman would poll more votes than General Black could, and they would all be from democrats, thus lessening Gen. eral Altgeld's chances of election. On account of the recent exchange of open letters bitterly attacking each other. the campaign between Altgeld and Forman is expected to be extremely lively.

Lamont Declares Himself.

Washington, Sept 9.--The following telegram today by Hon. Daniel s. La mont, secretary of war, explains thor ougbly his position on the political issues now pending:
 Washington, Sept 9.-To Hon. William D. Bynum, Chairman; I regret that I am unable to accept the invitation of your committee to be present at the mo- tihcation to Senator John M. Palmer and Gov. simon Buckner of their nomination by the national democratic party for president and vice president of the United States
 The outcome of the Indianapolis con- veDtion in candidates and platform Is in- spiring to every democrat who refuses to abandon the principles established by the fathers and steadfastly maintained with pride and honor, and who declines to adopt the new and strange creed pro- claimed In a moment of delirium at Chi cago and promptly recognized and rati- fled as it's own by the populist party at St. Louis.
 I prefer to keep the old faith and re- main a democrat. and shall accordingly cast my vote for Palmer and Buckner.

 OUT HIS LETTER

Continued from First Page.)
 The committee on resolutions reported the platform. It was adopted with one dissenting voice.
 It ratifies and indorses the national democratic platform adopted at Chicago and the candidates nominated thereon; pledges honest, earnest and hearty en- deavor to secure their election; insists that, the platform adopted at Chicago is thoroughly democratic and purely Ameri- can, and with it's enforcement relief will come to the toiling masses, and it will ad- vance the general prosperity of our coun- try. It declares it to be principle of free government that the minority should submit to the will of the majority, and other policy would be destructive of self government and party organization
 It denounces the interference of any employer of labor, private or corporate. to coerce or intimidate the voter in the free exercise of the right of suffrage.
 The convention adopted a resolution that the respective county committees fill vacancies caused by the resignations from the state committee. Another reso- lution urging the organiza ton of demo- cratic clubs for utilization with the na- tional league of clubs was adopted.
 Presidential electors were then selected. A resolution prevailed formally instruct ing the electors to cast their ballots for Bryan and Sewall.

THE QUERY, DID HE OR0WN2 Insurance Companies Interested to the Amount of $50,000. THEY MAY DRAIN THE LAKE Friends of j. I. DeIbridge Dragging the Old
 City Reservoir in Atlanta. ATTACKED BY CRAMPS, THEY BELIEVE He Hired Bathing Suit and Boat About Dark Tuesday Evening ard That
 Was the Last Seen of Him.
THEY MAY DRAIN THE LAKE
ATTACKED BY CRAMPS, THEY BELIEVE

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 9.-T. J. Delbrdge, young business man, disappeared last night, and today his friends have been dragging the old city reservoir at Lake wood for the body, but without success. Delbridse had $50,00O life insurance, $4o,- GOO of which he had taken within the last few weeks. His family think that he was drowned. Delbrdge went out to Lakewood late yesterday afternoon. He got bathing suit, and then hired boat, relnarking that he would take row and get warm, the water and the air being chilly. Several bathers were in the wa ter when Delbridge rowed off from the shore. It was then dark and Delbridge soon disappeared from view. Two hours later the empty boat was found drifting at the lower end of the lake. A park watchman secured the boat and upon re- turning to the bath house found Del bridges clothes hanging where he had left them. They contained few papers and $62 in cash.
 No one heard any outcry The oars were in the boat. Delbridge's family say that he jumped over to take swim, caught cramps and was drowned. They do not believe that he either committed suicide or rowed across the lake, changed his clothes and left.
 Delbridge was once in the paper job biIg trace here. During the exposition last year he managed the Delbridge ho- tel, and recently has been in the retail book and stationary business on White hall street. This afternoon dynamite was exploded in the lake with the object of raising the body to the surface, but it d1 not come to the surface. If the body is not recovered in a few days the insur- ance companies will have the water drawn off the lake. Delhridge held pol ices as fellows: New York Life $10000, Mutual Life S10O0O, $3O0O each in the Golden Chain and the Royal Arcanum, S5o00 each in the German American and Mutual Benefit and $7000 in two assess ment companies. He recently applied for S5000 in the United States Mutual Life, and it was issued but the agent here was not satisfied and would not deliver it. He says that he held 1t in order to make some investigation.
 Delbridge was married and has three children

As to Judge Crisp's Health.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Hon. Clark How ell of Atlanta denies the accuracy of pub lshed reports tending to show that the health of Ex-Speaker Crisp is such as to alarm his friends. "Mr. Crisp spoke in Rome Ga, last Friday" said MT. Howell, "and was in my office the next day on his way to Americus He was in his usual health, but was little more fieshy than when he left congress owing to the rest he has enjoyed.

Says, in Substance, He Sees No Chance of
 Election.

Election.
 Chicago, H., Sept. 9.-Gen. John C.. Black has written letter formally de- clning the nomination of the national democratic" party of Illinois for gov ernor. In his letter General Black says:
 'I am convinced by investigation that in this state the election of governor lies between Messrs. Tanner and Altgeld. l am further convinced that the only effect in the election of my candidacy would be to diminish the chances of one or the other of these two gentlemen for election. Men differ in their opinions as to whose chances would be the most seriously im- paired, but in any event, the whole effect of my candidacy, so far as the election is concerned, would be what I nave stated above--namely, to diminish the chances of one or the othar of the candidates. So believing, I feel constrained, highly as I prize the good opinion of the gentle men who placed me in nomination. to de- cline to be a candidate"
