ONE MAN IN THE HOSPITAL AND
ONE IN JAIL.
Drink Caused the Trouble-A Quarrel
Not Serious Nlilitiamen
Prisoner Talks.

Shortly after IL o'clock Thursday
night residents of the neighborhood of
Union Square were startled by tha
sharp crack of rife. The shot was
fired in small rooming house below
the American stables on Richards
street Fritz Neimann made the gun
play and John Fry was the man shot.
Both are members of Company \.
Bad blood has existed between the
men for several days. At the drill
shed early Thursday night the quarrel
was resumed and blows were passed.
The conbatants were separated. AZ
ter the meeting they drank down
town. About midnight the men met
again and walked down to Fry's house.
There the quarrel was resumed and re-
rifles. In the scutfie Neimann's gun
was discharged. The ball struck the
stock of Fry's rife. split it open,
glanced into the mans side. passed
through the flesh Just below the skin
and out. Both guns were loaded and
doubtless both men contemplated re
sorting to their use.
Fry was taken to the hospital where
his wound was dressed by DR.. Wayson.
Niemann was arrested and locked up.
Neimann will remain in Jail until
Fry has sufficiently recovered to testi,
fy in the case. Fry is not dangerously
hurt. He is resting easy at the hos
pital today and will be about again in
the course of week.
Niemann was seen this morning and
said: Fry and | were quarreling. |

which he said he would settle with me

corporal and is knocked down, form
ing one of the strongest climaXes of
the play.
The fourth act is decidedly the most
exciting and beautiful of all 1t shows
the Jail with Cecil prisoner, con-
demned to death. The leading features
are the appearance and combined eff
forts of Nenetia and Cigarette, the
rivals, to rescue the prisoner. Cigarette
gallops away for pardon, secures it
and returns, but just in time to re-
ceive the shots intended for the con-
demned man.
There are other strong features con-
nected with the discovery of Cecil by
Lord Rockingham, the meeting of the
two brothers twelve years after the
forgery, etc. 1t is sufficient to say
that the company could not have se-
lected a play that will please so gen.
orally. and the work of the actors
will undoubtedly exceed the most san
guine expectations.

Story of the Action-Character Well

teurs-Intense Climaxes.

The dress rehearsal of Under Two
Flags" by the Company b dramatic
troupe held at the military opera
house Thursday evening demonstrated
the fact that Honolulu will witness to-
morrow evening the cleverest enter
tainment ever put on by an amateur
company here. From the beginning OF
the first act to the falling of the cur
tain in the last. the play goes off in d
manner that would do credit to pro-
fessional talent and old stagers. IT
would take the eye of Il, critic worthy
of good salary to detect real error
in the entire Interpretation. The read
ing is clear and forceful the interpre-
tation simply excellent.

The play is II strong romantic con
ception dramatized by a. Mitchell
from Ouida's famous novel. 1t abounds
in thrilling situations and strong eli
makes. Several of the parts call for
very heavy work When properly

beautiful, more intensely fascinating.
The scenes are exceedingly pretty and
in keeping with the spirit of the story.

In the same act an attachment is

Black Hawk, who is Colonel of the

That lady, on the other hand, shows
a friendly interest in the corporal,
which is intensified by the cruelty of
the colonel to him. The act closes with
the introduction of the Arab Queen

IT Is TURNING OUT TO BE A COM

and Schedule-All Seem
Deeply Interested-Growth of an
Idea Diversion for Teachers.
(Contributed.)


The happiest man in the Hawaiian
Islands today is Inspector General
Townsend. His work for the past two
years for the advancement of teachers
has been heartily endorsed by the
teachers of the islands in congregating
in such numbers for the Summer
School. In talking with the writer
some months ago Mr.. Townsend said
he would feel satisfied if thirty pupils
attended the school. \ little later he
tried to make arrangements at Maka-
wac for the Summer School and when
asked how many he expected he said
forty. The prospects, however, bright
ened as time went on and when the
pledge of eighteen teachers was Sc
cured he felt sure of hundred This
morning there were by actual count
over one hundred and seventy-fiye
teachers and pupils in at one time.
The teaching force has had to be en-
larged. Classes had to be divided. Mr..
Armstrong Smith has been drafted to
assist Deputy Inspector Scott in the
English work and Mr.. Henry Dicken-
son of Lahaina to take part of Mr..
keliinoHs arithmetic class. Miss
French has consented to have two
drawing classes instead of one, Mr..
Moore is to have two divisions in Eng
lish grammar. And further changes
will be necessary.
The apportionment of rooms has
been made. Arithmetic 1, ., and 3;
pedagogy, methodology. kindergarten.

The enrolment has not been COM
pleted in all the classes. Geography
ana arithmetic seem to he the stand
bys. One class in arithmetic, before
the division, had eighty-fye in it, and
it is safe to say that nine out of every
ten are taking that. There are over
one hundred in two of the three
classes of geography. Nature study
has tifty-four devotees, and practically
everybody is taking drawing and tonic

the last session, but now that class
in English grammar has arisen to
compete with it, that number will
probably be diminished.
The class in tonic sol fa /. is expect
ed to furnish music for several even
ings. The tennis ground in the school
yard will be made available. The base
ball league has offered the use of their
grounds when unoccupied and it is
whispered that the Maui teachers are
going to challenge the rest of the

morrow. One to the electric and ice

ternon a procession of young ladies'
may be expected at The Star office to

A Curious Poem.

The present war talk revives the
memory of curious poem written by
Arthur O'Connor while being con.
veyed to a prison in Scotland during
the Irish rebellion of 1898. As will be
seen, it is loyal when read in the or
dinary way:
The pomp ofcourts and pride OF kings
prize above all earthly things;
love my country, but the king
Above all men his praise l sing;
The royal banners are displayed,
And may success the standard aid.
I fain would Danish far from hence
The "Rights OF Man" and common sense,
Confusion to his odious reign.
That foe TO princes, TnOmas Paine!
Defeat and ruin seize the cause
OF France, its liberties aud lnws
But if the first line of the second
verse is read after the first line of the
hrst verse, and SO on, the poem wilt
breathe n spirit of rampant rebellion /:
The pomp OF courts aud pride of kings
flin would banish 'ar from hence

The "Rights Of Man" aud common sense;

WHAT He SAID.

In an English court a man was on
trial who could speak nothing but
Irish, and an interpreter was called
and duly sworn. The prisoner at once
asked him some question, and he re-
piled. The Judge interposed sharply.
"What does the prisoner say?" de-
manded the judge.
Nothing, my lord" answered the
interpreter.
"How dare you say that, when VIC
all heard him. What was it?'
"My lord" said the interpreter, be-
ginning to tremble, sit had nothing
to do with the case. -
"IG you don't answer I'll commit
you. What did he say?"
"Well, my lord, you'll excuse me,
but he said, who's that ould woman
with the red bed curtain round her
sitting up there?
The court roarad,
"And what did you sGy?' asked the
judge, looking a little uncomfortable.

Best Hunting Ground for Me;eorg.

Twenty millions of meteors, accord
ing to DR.. Murray, fall upon the earth
every day, their aggregate weight
amounting to something like two tons.
In hundred years we should get at
least one pound, at most twenty
pounds, OF cosmic dust distributed
over each square mile of the earth's
surface, and yet the organized search
which has been made for cosmic dust
in every quarter of the globe has yield
ed meagre results. The best hunting
ground has proved to be the bottom
of the Pacific Ocean, where, 1000
miles from any land, red clay is
brought up, which, on examination,
is 81 own to consist of three kinds o.
particles. A magnet will pick out GER
tain microscopic fragments of titanic
or magnetic iron, leaving behind Il
mixture of blackish and brownlsh
spherules, the former OF which con-
tain copper, and are seemingly of vol.
canic origin, while the latter (called
"chondres'') are of radial eccentric
structure, and are judged to be cos.
mic dust. The slopes of Ben Nevis also
yield traces of this extraneous matter,
which, considering the millions o:
years during which ii has been steadily
raining on the earth, is strangely little
in evidence. Pail Mall Gazette.
