A DECIDEDLY PRETTY CONTEST
Townies Victorious BY the Score of
hou Landed in Only One Half

Very sorrowfully did the wind
sought through the trees as the Puma
hou students walked off the field of
carnage on the Makiki baseball
grounds and started in to tell their
equally sorrOwful comrades how it was
they lost and how if the other man
had done the right thing at the right
time, what a different sound the band
even have time to give three cheers
for the winning team. Yes, 1T was
sorrowful wind that passed through
the branches of the algarOba trees, the
sorrowful part being the score of 6 for
the Punahou team and the gladstone
part, the score of "a for the wearers of
the black and gold. The Town team
literally wiped up the ground with the
jolly students, and only once did the
latter get to their goal. Buck as hard
as they would, they could not get
through the line of the Townies. There
was always the most splendid kind of
wall to meet the runners with the
ball.
The Thanksgiving game of football
was perhaps the very best that has
ever been played on these Islands and,

year to year, they will be able to hold

quick and sharp and the only delays
were those incident to an injury on the
part of some one of the players. The
ball was kept rolling right along and
the people showed that they were in
terested in the game by the way they
applauded at the different plays. There
must have been at least three thou
sand people present. The grand stand
was filled and the space around on the
outside of the ropes was all occupied.
Princess Kaiulani, accompanied by
Mrs. Robertson, Miss Eva Parker and
Miss Anna Widemann, occupied posi-
ton about the middle of the makai
side, where a special place had been
reserved for the party. All through
out the game Princess Kaiulani show
ed intense interest in the playing by
her frequent applause.
The Hawaiian band, through the
kindness of Minister Cooper, was pres
ent in the grand stand, and added a
great deal to the pleasure of the after
noon by it's music during the intervals
of the game. All over the grounds
could be seen the colOrs of the two
competing clubs, prominently dis
played, and the tin horns at various
spots were kept busily at work when

ter should be continually grateful.
And with all that has been done here,
with the evidence of the accomplish
ment of wondrous tasks all about,
there yet remains local opportunity for
effort, for toll, for eXertion that should
give satisfaction and JOY and delight.
For Christianity itself, for the favor
shown to Christian nations, all should
be thankful. The Christian nations are
blessed and there comes to them from
India, from China. from Japan, from
Dark Africa, the invitation to confer
for the welfare of the soul, to teach
the straight and narrow way. For
music, for daily pleasure, for exten-
sion of life, for peace and the pros
poets of peace, grateful acknowledge
ment should be readily and willingly
made Rev. Mr.. Pearson's discourse
was replete with Biblical references
and had several quotations from hymns
and poems. AS sermon it was treat
and for directness and diction and
thought and delivery was something
to be remembered.
There was a very large congregation
at ST. Andrews and the sermon by
Rev. Alex Macintosh, who is himself
such a worker was one to urge on all
engaged in doing good, all desiring to
labor for light where there is darkness,
to assist in dispelling life clouds and
surrounding discouraging conditions
with the sunshine of hope. There were
many visitors and the church was
beautifully decorated. The music, with
Mr.. Wray Taylor at the organ was the
finest for several years. The solos
were by Mrs e. D. Tenney, Mrs C. B.
Cooper, Mrs. Geo. J. Ross, Ernest Ross,
w. L. Stanley and Chas. Booth.

Catholic Cathedral at 9 in the morn

some kind of a substitute for the miss
ing part A very clever double pass
between the two half backs and Cupid
made touchdown around the right.
1t now looked as if the students would
sweep everything before them but they
met with the most stubborn kind of
defensive playing. The ball was kick
out of bounds by Soper and secured
by Cornwell. Then came some of the
finest playing done by the Townies
throughout the game. Cornwell and
Schermerhorn, Whitehouse and Con-
radt, kept going through the center for
big gains. Nothing seemed to hold
them. Their method of sliding over
their opponents was frequently ap-
plauded. Schermerhorn finally carried
the ball over the line for another touch
down. Whitehouse failed to kick goal.

1t was thought that the Punahou
team would play little better game
in the beginning of the second half
but their reverses of the first half
seemed to dishearten them and their
playing on the whole appeared to be
a little weaker if anything. They
started off with the ball and tried for
some gains around the ends, since they
could not gain much through the line
The Townies secured the ball and
Cornwell made another long run
around the end. Rawlins, center for
the Punahous, got bad leg and re-
tired from the game. His place was
taken by Kupihea. The umpire allow

Testimony In :he Smith Murder
Trial All In.


Trial All In.
The prosecution put on it's last wit
ness in rebuttal, in the Smith murder
trial, shortly before noon yesterday.
The forenoon was spent in clearing up
point in the testimony of the various
witnesses. One of the witnesses state
ed Tuesday that she saw the Mika-
hala and the Hall Off the shore of Ka-
uai on the day set for Paupau's COM
ing to Honolulu. Evidence was intro
duced yesterday by the prosecution, in
the shape of the steamship cOmpany's
boats, to show that the Hall was laid
gust Is to November 2, and could not
possibly have been at Kauai during
that period.

horses while Kapea shot DR.. Smith
was the last witness. He testified that
he never bought a pistol in his life, as
had previously been stated, that on the
day that Kapea and his friend were
practicing shooting at the jar on the
wall, Kapea did not get the revolver
from Iosepa's room as he had no re-
volver. The prosecution then rested
and Iosepa stepped down from the wit
ness stand a free boy.
Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Rosa for the
defense asked for recess that they
might prepare their argument. The
Court convened again at o'clock and
Mr.. Robertson presented his points to
the jury. Mr.. Rosa followed in Ha-
waiian. Mr.. Kinney will complete his
argument this morning. He will also
speak in Hawaiian
The case will likely go to the jury
some time this forenoon.

The Cost Of y Convention,

statements made with respect to the
cost OF a convention, one little 2x4 ma.
per flashing itself into fury some years
since over the 'extrsvagance" of a con-
vention, declared it would cost the pco-
Pile $500, DOC. Tho convention Of 1870
cost less than SIS, O0O, whilo our late
extra session cost SIC, 0c0. But suppose

time cave to the people annually 81, Ooo,-

dear to every American, and that is the
right of each community to decide for
itself what kind of local government is
best suited to its welfare. OF what con-
Germ is it to the people of Carter
whether Shelby county has a county
court or a board Of supervisors? Why
deny to any county the right to change
It's county government? OF course any
county which favors a county court
should be allowed to retain it, but my
point is that If experience has shown to
a people that the county court system
IS unsuited to their wants, and is cum
bersome, unwieldy and extravagant,
then that people should have the I'M
questioned right to abolish the court
and adopt a plan suited to their neces-
stiles and situation. What we need is
less red tape and more intelligence; less
log-rolling and more business methods;
less governmental machinery, less ex-
pense and extravaganza and more eff
cient governmental agencies all along
the line.
Our experience in Shelby county is
anything but reassuring. In 1898 coun-
ty warrants were selling below par and
the treasury empty, so the court had
sl20, 900 in bonds issued and took up all
the floating debt. We thought this bad
enough, but a few days since the reve-
nue. commissioners announced that
there was in sight another deficit Of
$780, 00. Where is this thing to end?
Can the people be blamed for wishing
to get clear Of the court?
Fence Laws.
In the more populous counties the
great forests which once covered hill
and valley have been destroyed with a
~lamentable extravaganza, 30 that back
in the country boards and timber for
fences and even fire-wood in some in
stances is scarce. The cost of keeping
up fences, especially here in West Ten
nessee, where timber rots so fast, has
become so burdensome that the people
are not able to keep up a lawful fence.
Hence the legislature passed what was
commonly called the no.fence law, to
apply to such counties as were clamor-
GUS for the law, but very recently the
supreme court declared that law void
because it applied only to certain coun-
ties. Our people in the counties refer
red to cannot bear the expense Of fenc-
ing as they did in the times when tim
Der was abundant, II they could, still
every tree left to US should be preserved,
as It is a well-known fact that owing to
the destruction of timber ever ths
whole country lumber is becoming dear
err year by year, hence we are admon-
ished by every consideration to pre-
serve the small remnant left from the
magnificent and valuable forests which
once covered our State.
There are many changes vital to our
interests which should be made, and l
will take the liberty here of quoting a
part of the address of the committee of
fifteen appointed by a mass meeting, of
which was a member, as it clearly and
forcibly expresses my viaws:
