A REMARKABLE SHOT.

The wonderful performances of DR..
Carver have given him worldwide
reputation as a marksman. His shot
always seems to strike the right spot.
In this respect he resembles one of
Seattle's best known products. Rainier
beer always strikes the right spot. 1t
is a sparkling, healthful beverage, par
ticularly beneficial to persons requir-
ing a mild tonic, for which it is highly
endorsed by many physicians. Rainier
beer is found on the sideboards of the
leading people throughout the city.

a Suggestion to tho H. 0. g.

An unselish action by Marlow, in
the Essex and Sussex match, deserves
more than passing notice. He was
at the wickete with Prince Rapjit-
sinhji, and the latter started for a
short run, and went so far down the
ground that it was impossible for
him to return in time. NARROW had
not started, but, seeing that wick
ct must be lost, be ran out, aud, pass
ing the Prince, sacrificed his own.
1t is pleasant to be able to call atten-
ton to this act OF generosity, be-
cause there is tendency on the part
of individual players to think OF
their averages first, and of the inter
ests Of their side afterwards. The
match between Essex and Sussex
was not brought to definite termi-
nation, but in other circumstances
Marlow's action in throwing away
his wicket for the preservation of a
more valuable one, might have
brought victory to his side, and, in
any case it is worthy Of commenda-
tion as an example Of sportsman
like conduct.-Standard.

CHARMING KATIE PUTNAM.
She Scores a Great Success at the
Opera House.

The presentation of the Old Lime
Kiln at the Opera House last Satur
day evening was an absolute success
and Miss Katie Putnam and her
supporters are highly complimented
on tho clever manner in which they
produced this sensational comedy.
A large audience enjoyed the play
aud rarely has Opera House been
filed with louder and more uproari-
GUS applause than on Saturday.
The Old Lime Kiln" is exactly
what suits Honolulu public, and,
like Oliver Twist, they ask for
"more."
The play is a fine combinfti ton OF
the blood and thunder style and the
gay twists OF muslins, laces and
ankles. 1t is a clever combination,
however, aud the company handled
the different parts in such natural
manner that all the young "bloods"
in the audience wept tears, when
they saw live U. S. officer being
split into burning limekiln (having
taken off hls uniform prioD and
then being rescued in shirt sleeves
and suspenders by a young girl,
with hammer; while all the old
baldheads grinned happily, watch
ing Katie's steps and listening to
her jolly ditties.
The Old Lime Kiln is an interest
ing play and the different charac-
ters were ably sustained.
Katie Putnam as Margery Morris
is the principal character and it
looks as if the part was written
specially for her. Robert Jefferson
as her lover, who does the limekiln
plunge, played with good taste and
avoided all unnecessary melodram-
attic business.
II, B. Emery, as Jack Ridley, was
the favorite with the audience, and
his cheerful humor called forth re-
peated applause.
j. Fl, Burns and Mollie Stock
meyer as the military" Irish couple
were hailed with enthusiasm when
ever they appeared.
Miss Mackin who was to take the
part as Helen Norton, was taken
seriously sick on Saturday and for a
moment the management feared
that the play would have to be post
poned. Fortunately such disap-
pointment was avoided by Mrs. Geo.
Attersen being persuaded to take
the part which she in spite Of only
few moments notice, rendered in a
very pleasing and thorough artistic
manner.
Miss Putnam can be assured OF
full houses as long as she gives US
some more cline. kilps" or similar

with assaulting f, W. Mackinney.
The Marshal declined to prosecute
the case. 1t appears that Mr.. Hart
busted the coat of Mr.. Mackinney
last Saturday morning on Fort

strument later on was deposited
with the Marshal. Hart claims that

Cntton Letter.

New York, Oct. s.-Liverpool aston dshed and disgusted the cotton bulls this morning by break ing sharply Prices there declined three sixty-fourths This dispatch was entirely unexpected, and resulted in scramble to unload here. In. this scramble heavy Liverpool sell ing was a marked feature. Prices at the opening were to 10 points down. After the opening the market became exceedingly quiet and although it went some lower, each point was bitterly con- tested The movement for the week was large. January opened at 6.d6, declined to 6.44, advanced to 6.47, declined to 641, and closed at 6.43 to GA, with the tone of the market steady. The decline today is discouraging and has resulted in a revival of the bearish sentiment. We do not think, however, that prices will give way much.

Chicago, Oct. S.-The general demand for cattle, as is usual on Friday, was poor, and prices were weak except fcr the best. Native beef steers sold large dy at S4.65Q5.10, sales being at an ex- treme range of $3.65@550 for the poor est to the best. Bulls, cows and heifers sold at the usual wide range. Veal calves sold at $S.25@6.5O sor the best, with small offerings. Stocl1eTs and feeders ranged from $3 to $3.6O, and western range cattle sold at $3.30@4. 30 for steers and S27O@3.S5 for cows and hefers.
 The market for hogs was again bad one fer sellers. Buyers took hold more freely, but they succeeded in putting prices about Dc lower hogs selling at the lowest figures yet reached. Sales were largely at s3.50a3S0, heavy pack CTS selling at $S.9O@S.55 and prime light at $3.90@395.
 Native sheep sold at an extreme range of $2@435, and with few going above $4.

Dry Goods.

New York, Oct. S.-The dry goods mar lcet today shows a gathering strength in all cotton lines, due to the strengthened market on cottons ard the alleged injuI y to the cotton crop. This is particular y noticeable in print cloths and other sta pie cottons of similar grades. The quota of buyers in the market is larger than it was earlier in the wsek, and there seems to be a tendency to expand purchases on the pant of those visiting the local mar ket. Reports of distribution at second hands in various parts of the country still continue favor'aIb,y and retailers are said to be enjoying a period of activity in all seasonab1e lines of goods.
 Print cloths seem to have reach-H a basis on which trading meets the re- quirements of both sellers and tine buy CTS. The sales of the week on a basis of 244c for extras have been heavy and b d fair to continue up to the close. Old goods have also been sold in large num- bers.
 Prints have maintained the relative strength which has characterized them for several weeks. The demand from the south is somewhat heaver than it was during thl5 height of the fever scare, both for fanlcies and staples. The latter are stronger than fancies. Woolen and worsbed goods show no change from their previously reported condition.
