man in the executive departments of
the national capital; but that makes
no difference, because the government
clerks have no votes and no voice in
political affairs. The Tawney bill en-
titled an act "to increase the efficiency
Of the public service by the optional
and compulsory retirement of superan-

ployes" Is distasteful to the govern

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman Of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take nc more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
tor the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.

this line and have just received a lot of the

A Street Arab Becomes n Governor.
From the New York Times.
The limitless possibilities of American
life are well illustrated by the career Of
John Green Brady, who was recently ap-
pointed and. confirmed governor of Alaska
He was born in this city and in what is
now called the Tenderloin district. He knew
neither parents nor relatives. and was a
veritable street Arab. In 1860 a society
was organized to care for homeless waits,
and little Jack Brady, with a number of
others, was put in car and taken to In
diana, where they were given to anybody
who would take them. When the car ar
rived at Upton and a number had been
passed off, certain Judge John Green,
then a prominent citizen OF that city, went
to the car and called for the 'ugliest, rag
gedest. and most friendless'' Of the lot
The manager of the boys presented Jack"
The judge was at first inclined to refuse to
receive him, but finally took him home and
presented him to his wife. She was morti-
fled and chagrired. but after washing up
the boy she thought she might learn to
love him. Jack" appreciated his new
home and spent his leisure in study. After
few years he was graduated from the
Upton schools. The judge then sent him
to Wevelaha College, and afterward to
Harvard. After his graduation he was sent
to Great Britain. where he took a theoIog-
zeal course and returned to Upton in 1876.
He was sent to Alaska In 1877 as a mis-
sionary by the Presbyterian Church. He
became interested in the new territory, and
in 1881 returned to the states, bringing
with him many specimens of gold and
silver rock, and told Of its wonderful re-
sources. Prospectors and capitalists be-
came interested, and rapid growth in
population Is the result. He gave a great
deal OF information on Alaskan resources
Tor The census reports of 1880, and was
one OF the territorial commissioners under
the Harrison administration.

WHAT 1T USED TO be.

Modern Foot Ball Mere Play to Yale's
Old observation-disclosures StruRxle.
From Scribner's.
The organization and development of in
tercollegiate athletics now absorb much of
the energy that used to be given to the
furious internecine warfare of classes
From immemorial time there were mighty
games of foot ball on the New Haven
green, in which whole classes engaged.
The freshmen posted their formal chal-
lenge on the bulletin of Lyceum, and the
supercilious acceptance of the sophomores
named the day for the struggle. Come"
cried the class of go,
To the f1re-eyed maid of smoky war,
And like sacrifices in their trim
All hot and bleeding will We offer you.
And the Tyrtaeus OF '5S cfIeered his mates
with the noble lines:
Let them come on. the base-born crew.
Each soil-stained churl-alack!
What gain they but a splitter skull,
A sod for their base back!
On the bloody day appointed. both sides
massed In heavy column with Napoleonic
tacties-w41ile the New Haven fathers sur
rounded the field. When the round leather
ball was kicked. two hundred men clash
ed together in frantic. showing, dusty,
roaring chaos. the one side striving to
kick the ball to the Chapel street fence.
the other to force 1t to the steps of the
state house. Swift runners hung upon the
outskirts to seize the ball. chance-directed
to their feet, and hurry 1t amid fuli-eaxine
applause to the goal. But 1t was In the
middle press where deeds were uncrowned.
where shirts became streamers, and RIB
squeezed rib until they cracked. that the
heroes Of war and the college bully were
to be found. From this Titanic struggle
the degenerates of today have evolved
the emasculated game which they call foot
ball. a wretched sort of parlor pastime!

kept by Charles Maspeth and intended to
spend the season there. A few DAYS ago
Landlord Maspeth spread a half dozen
new hammocks under the trees On mis-
lawn for the use of his guests, and the
bride and groom appropriat ted two of them
10 their own use. On Wednesday they de-
termlned to decorate their hammocks with
the shining leaves of a beautiful pea-green
vile which they found in the woods. The
couple spent the best part of half day
III tearing up quantities of the vine and
weaving it into the meshes of their ham
nocks. Then they reclined amid the mol
lshed leaves. They were thoroughly hap
Ply, when some country-wise person no.
tlced the vine they had twined In their
hammHcks was poison ivy.
A hurry call from the two hammocks
was sounded and the couple were treated
TO lfberal quantities of cooling lotions. but
apparently to no purpose, for within n few
hours both Mr.. CoEkling and his wife ex-
nib1ted symptoms of severe poisoning. The
eyes of the bridegroom were almost closed
by Inflammation. which also involved his
hesd and neck, and the hands of the bride
are covered with the poison blotches.
everything posstble was done for the re-
lief OF the young couple, but their suffer-
ings became SO intense that they found II
necessary to abandon the honeymoon and
