DENVER SHARPSHOOTERS.
Captain Lower Explains Matters
That Were Neglected.

The following explanatory letter
from Capt. ]. n. Lower of the Denver
Rifle Club to w. H. Bell of the Homo
lulu Sharpshooters was received yes
terday.
The targets referred to were desired
mentos. There was no question as TO
the correctness of the scoring.
DENVER, COLO, Dec. %, 1896.
Friend Bell:-I have just returned
from the San Juan country, where |
was called suddenly to adjust some
important mining matters. Being
away on this business for over 10
weeks and getting little or no mail
connection, L have just learned how
the team shoot came out, and send the
Honolulu marksmen my hearty CON
gratulations. 1 am told that the Den
yer team was a weak one, as several
of it's shooters were away on business;
but / guess the balance did the best
they could. Previous to my leaving
sent all the communications, ETC., TO
Mr.. Boardman, the Honolulu team
representative, so that he would be
thoroughly posted on the cOnulJlOnS,
etc; and then, as l could not look after
the affair myself. l turned everything
over to III. 4. Willis, the clubs secre-
tary. | think that some of the details
were overlooked by him in not send
ing the targets, although he says he
spoke to Mr.. Boardman about taking
them after the shoot was over, but for
some cause or other it was neglected
then. and when he went TO get them
afterwards. found that some one had
been using them. / gave him piece
of my mind on the subject, and asked
that a full explanation be made to
Captain Dodge regarding the matter,
| was considerably put out, because
the natural courtesies of the club had
been neglected, and attribute 1t more
to neglectfulness and carelessneSs
than any disregard for courtesy in
their part.
Congratulating the Honolulu team
on their victory and best regards tc
yourself. and wishing you merry
Christmas, l am, yours truly,
j. y. LOWER.

THE SUMMIT OF HALEAKALA.


The lowland slopes. Above the ,ool
gray sky
Was cheekered with the light of wan
ing stars
And distant CLEANS of mornings gold
en- bars.
Far from the works and little ways Of
men,
In utter isolation on the steep
And craggy summit of the awful glen
Where strangely shaped and twisted
glaciers creep.
Adown the slopes to lose themselves in
sand
Far in the hollows of this Wonderland
Man thinks of the Eternal. and lis
mind
With thoughts sublime is chastenad
and inspired.
Forgetting all the ways of humankind
With pure and lofty impulse thrilled
and fired,
He stands in silence by the dead abyss
Knowing that earth no mystery holds
like thisI
The ruddy east is all afiame with gold
and crimson cloudlets shoulder N
the haze,
And purpled mists. that sea and earth
enfold,
The gold to silver changeth and the
blaze
OF sunshine coming with the morn
ing breeze,
Lifteth the vapors from the jasper
seas.
A mighty chasm seething to the brim.
With rolling wastes of wind driven
clouds and mist
Tipped with the colors of the rainbow S
rim
Where the new sun with lips of
flame hath kissed
The crests of, creaming clouds that
rise and fall
With noiseless surges by the crater
WALL
Deep in this chasm where the change
full mists,
In silence roll their opalescent
waves;
Billows of crimson lava roared ard
Kissed
Tapped with their blood-red lips the
hollow caves,
And leapt in fiery cascades down the
sleeps
To join the tumult in the Avernan
deeps.
When this vast pit was all a swelling
flood
Of liquid fire that broke with thun-
dering shocks,
In whelming waves, and CORY crests
of blood
Against the barriers, and the scat
tered rocks
Drowned in the flood, while every
tower and spire
Shone DER the flames, like "Obelisks
of fire.
The light that streamed above The
lurid swell
Of waves of flame that leapt the
boundary wall
Illumined the heavens like a vaulted
hell,
And stygian vaypors like a funeral
Slow-drifted by the sulphur-laden
Hung in thick volumes Ger the start
led seas.
The chime for many century hath
been told
Since earthquakes rent thee, and the
fiery streams,
Burning their pathways, in their furv
rolled
And lit the heavens with their pale
full CLEANS.
In terror looked upon the flaming
skies.
Heard thy loud thunder, or reverber
ate roar
Felt the hot breath of thy sulphurous
wind,
Or saw the red waves lash the :ron
shore,
Or watched the food from the unfath
omed deep,
In fiery foam o'erwhelm the wildered
sleeps.
'Tis not for us to ravel the unknown,
We know that rest has come to thee
at last!
Is not the fire-king banished from his
throne?
Whistles no more the hot winds
revening blast
Shall raging floods burst from thy
heart again,
Thy walls be deluged with the Grim
son rain?
Absolute silence where thy lofty dome
Towers far into the heavens cloud
less blue,
The MONDAY sun now flashing DER the
foam
Sleeps all the landscape in a silvcry
hue,
A veil of cloud blots out the lower
land
And seas of sapphire lie on either nand
I'll stand no more upon thy lonely
height,
Nor break the silence of thy solitude
Long wears may pass. but memory

AN unknown writer gives utter
ance to the following sensible
suggestions: ''If you are already
producing more than you can
sell, cut down your force and pro-
duce less with less expense, until
you produce profitable crops. 1t
may be that some other crop
would pay better for you than the
one you are now growing. Each
one must determine that. Not
all sections demand the same.
Choose always what is demand
ed. One may not be able to sell
vegetables in summer, when he
might in winter. Act according
Iy. Or he could sell strawberries
when he could not beans. Grow
berries. Or extra early peas will
sell, and not late ones; or very
late and not medium ones. Your
course is clear; only keep your
eyes open for facts and hints.
No one crop will still pay every
where but every crop will pay
somewhere. Look sharp to your
own location and choose wisely
for yourself"

The Quanah Observer says
'The first step in the great work
of political salvation is for the
people to proceed to take back
the extraordinary powers they
have surrendered to politicians
and parties. In this great land
is found the anomaly of a free
people with a pampered master
to every dozen individuals The
most serious question in the
politics of this country is whether
the people are able to regain
their lost power. While the
dangers by which we are con-
fronted today are great and quite
sufficient to discourage those who
have been traind to look to the
party trusts for everything, they
are by no means incurable. If
the press will continue to speak
out, and the people will dare
assert their independence and
power the great schools of greed
and corruption by which the
nation is being debauched will be
destroyed and better influences
and forces put to work in short

THE American Hebrew is de-
sirous that there shall be preach
ing in the English language from
the pulpits of the many syna-
gogues located on the east side of
New York city. 1t is said that
there is not a single English
speaking rabbi for the 100000 of
Jews living below Fourteenth
street. 1t is believed that many
of the younger Jews, who disre-
gard their religion when it is
expounded in Yiddish, would go
to synagogues in which the SER
mons were delivered in the Ian
guage spoken by the people of
the United States.

A RUSSIAN dentist has atlength

A RUSSIAN dentist has atlength
solved the problem of supplying
us with false teeth which will
grow into the gums as firmly
as natural ones. Teeth are
made of gutta percha, porce-
lain or metal, as the case may be.
At the root of the tooth holes are
made, and also in the jaw. The
tooth is then placed in the cavity,
and in short time soft granu-
lated growth finds It's way from
the jaw into the hole of the tooth.
This growth gradually hardens
and holds the tooth in position.
1t does not matter in the least,
according to this enterprising
Russian dentist, whether the cav
ity in which the tooth is placed is
one from which natural tooth
has recently been drawn, or
whether it has been healed for
or even years.

A FAD That Should te Discouraged.

We have just as good schools
in Texas as in any state in the
union, but there will always be a
class of people with US who are
convinced their is nothing good
enough at home, and so our chill
dren are sent out of the state to
be educated. The following re-
marks taken from the Alvarado
Review are pertinent and timely:
1t is about time for agents of
the schools and colleges" east
of the Mississippi to make their
annual pilgrimage to Texas and
try to convince our people of
their own ignorance. Some of
these institutions may be very
good schools, possibly as good as
we have in Texas, but the advan-
tages of many of them consist
chiefly of high priced tuition and
the provincial territory about six
miles square. They make a.
strong appeal for our girls, prom

fond father yields and his pri-
cious girl goes (likewise his dol

most she has learned is change
of accent in the "oh, horrors"
role and the ability to missspell
her name. But she has "been
away to school," it has cost quite |
a lot of money, the whims of the
girl have been satisfied and the
vanity of the parents appeased.
And then we are ready for the
process of another year

AN editorial item in one of the
Chicago dailies suggests to Mr..
Bryan that, instead of going to
Europe to study the effects upon
the masses of the gold standard,
he should go to China or Mexico
to behold the evil effects upon
labor of the silver standard. In
view of the facts the suggestion
was decidedly pointless. The
condition of labor in China has
changed but little for centuries
and certainly not for the worse
during this last quarter of a cen
fury or since silver was 1emone-
tized by the.western nations and
China continued on a silver basis,
and in Mexico, whether it be the
effect of her silver standard or
not, wages have advanced and
prosperity has prevailed; while
in Europe and in this country
wages have been falling and de-
preston has been general

THE San Antonio Express calls
attention to the fact that the bill
passed at the special session of
the legislature requiring county
taxes to be paid in current money
received the governors signature
and is now a law. One effect of
it will be to prevent speculation
in county scrip and also, per-
haps, to depreciate the value of
that character of heretofore
negotiable. paper. The result
may be to prevent the issue of
county script, except for direct
service, in favor of which an ex-
ception is made, and thus COM
pei every county to get down to

By placing a duty on refined SUI
