A horse can be ridden to death. It is easy
to do it if YOU don't feed him and if you
work him when he is sick. A man may ride
himself to death in the same way. Hard

THE WORD "HOODLI-NI."

The Philadelphia Record says: The
old proof reader was hoIuIng forth
upon the question of Typographical err
rors and their occasional influence on
posterity. This word 'hoodlum' is
an instance of this" he said, he he
knocked the ashes out of his pipe.
out in San Francisco twenty-five
years ago there was a notorious char
acter by the name of Muldoon, who
was the leader of gang of young
rut1ians. They were terror TO the
community and about as tough a lot
of citizens as you could find on that
coast. y reporter who had been as
signed to story in which they had
figured, undertook to coin word des-
ignating the gang. He reversed the
name of the leader and referred to
them as 'Noodlums.' The compositor
mistook the N for an n and as
'hoodlums' the word passed the proof
reader. And now 'hoodlum' is rec
ognized word and will probably sur
vive."

The Star has ever had strong feel

Banner
Bike
lamps
$780,.

No better lamp for a wheel
has ever been sold in Homo
lulu. We used to sell them at
$3.50. Other dealers do now,
but we are selling them at
$500, less usual discount for
cash. Who wants profits,
when times are prosperous
and dull days are unknown?
That means us.
The Banner Lamp for bicy-
cles is handsomely nickel plated
and burns kerosene oil. The
light can neither blow nor jolt
out, and it is a positive guaran-
tee against forced introduce
tions to mounted patrolmen.
We do not intend that you
shall have these lamps forever
at $500. We have other.
business to attend to, so we
give you a week from the day
this adj is inserted. After that
you may pay more for them.
The regular 1. G. Bike
Lamp still sells at our store
for S.. No limit as to time
on this make-doors always
open and stock complete. A
dollar is mighty little for
kerosene oil-burning, non

If you have time to look in

a clear idea of the lamps.

The various bureaus in Washington
are busy preparing their reports
against the meeting of Congress in
December. The Hawaiian Depart
ments should be making preparations
in the same direction. The reports of
the Departments are too frequently
brought in in a rush. There is a rush
in writing them and a rush in print
eminent officers may say what is the
use of preparing reports If annexation
is coming. The officers of this Repub-
lie should have. on this occasion. even
fuller reports than usual, to show how
well the stewardship has been carri-
ed out during the period between the
monarchy and the annexation of the
Islands. Information about this
should be in accessible form. Much
excellent work has been carried out
especially upon the roads, and it
would be of advantage to know what
it has cost, and what were the diff
culties overcome. The land report is
also full of interest and will be of i'm
mense value. The full correspond
ence between Japan and this govern
ment is another thing which should
be in accessible form. Much of this
work might be prepared now, and a
good deal of it go into the printers
hands before December or January.
In this way every preparation would
be made for each department record
being ready on time.

How the Scene Was Once Lighted.

It must have often struck people,
when reading of the old performances
i'll the last century, how it was that the
lighting was contrived The power of
oil lamps was limited enough. Theaters
like Drury Lane and Covent Garden
were of enormous size. There were no
footlights, at least until about the mid
die of the last century, and they were
the humble floats, . dim enough. Yet
there was ample light to observe ex-
preston and play Of features, SO neces-
sary in interpreting the fine old come
dies of character Nowadays the stage
is one blaze. 1t is literally bathed and
suffused in light. There are no shad-
ows and yet it might be said the
amount of necessary light is no more
than there used to be and is not nearly
as satisfactory. How was it then?
In the theaters of Garrick and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung directly
over the heads of the actors from the
arch of the proscenium and just outside
the curtain. When the play was over,
these were lowered slowly, a signal for
the audience to depart. These chande-
iers furnished a goodly amount of light
on a circular zone Immediately below
them The actors faces and figures
were lit in the natural way, as the sun
would light them, but the rest of the
stage was comparatively dark or
gloomy. -Gentleman' s Magazine.

Sheridan In Battle.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning With Grant" in The Century,
says Of Sheridan at Appomattox: No
one could look at Sheridan at such a
moment without sentiment of undis-
guised admiration In this campaign,
as in others, he had shown himself pos
sessed of military traits of the highest
order. Bold in conception, self reliant
demonstrating by his acts that much
danger makes great hearts most reso-
lutte, fertile in resources, combining
the restlessness of a Hotspur with the
patience of a Fabius, it is no wonder
that he should have been looked upon
as the wizard of the battlefield Gener-
GUS of his life, gifted with the ingenu-
ity of Hannibal, the dash of Murat,
the courage of Ney, the magnetism of
his presence reused his troops to deeds
of individual heroism, and his uncon-
querable columns rushed to victory with
all the confidence of Caesars Tenth le-
gion Wherever blows fell thickest
there was his crest. Despite the valor
OF the defense opposing ranks went
down before the fierceness Of his onsets,
never to rise again, and he would not
pause till the folds of his banner waved
above the strongholds he had wrested
from the foe Brave Sheridani | can
almost see him now, his silent clay
again quickened into life, once more
riding Rienzi through fire of hell,
leaping opposing earthworks at single
bound, and leaving nothing of those
who barred his way except the frag-
ments scattered in his path. AS long as
manly courage is talked of or heroic
deeds are honored the hearts of a CRATE
full people will beat responsive to the
mention Of the talismanic name of Sher-
idan
