Yale.

After the Sunday rest Bob Cook be-
gan week OF hard work yesterday with
his boating pupils. The raPgcdness in
Yales time has compelled Cook tC go
back TO pair oar work, ana ne put tho
eight through severe lessop in the pair
oar just before noon he took the eight
ont and then continued his coaching for
few short sprints.
Then Yale tried the course for the first
time since she has been on the Thames.
The oarsmen were eager 10 test their
speed over the four miles, and despite the
fact that there was cross wind and the
tide had almost begun 10 change, Cook
allowed the men 20 start over the course.
AT the end of the first mile the boat had
negun to fll with water md the spin had

made 10 row the course, and the crew got

The work OF the eight showed good re-
suits from Cooks coaching in the pair
oar. Cook will keep up the pair-onr work
daily from now until the crew leaves its
quarters at Gales Ferry. IL has been by
this work that he has accomplished most
with crews in past years, and the present
eight needs deal Of such work. The cool.

George Parsons Lathrop In Leslic's Weekly
Hawaii Is undoubtedly one of the most
remarkable instances on record of q small
republic holding her own, with very slender
military power, among the great family of
nations In this respect she reminds one
Of Switzerland, or of the still smaller re-
public Of Andora, in the Basque provinces
OF northern Spain, which continues to this
day as self-governed territory, free from
monarchism. The army of Hawaii num-
bers only eight hundred men; but these
troops are we'll equipped with modern
weapons and accouterments, and thor
oughiy disciplined. OF the eight companies
forming the army, or rather, the regiment
that protects the islands, two-Company n:

regular officer, but declined to take any
pay. preferring to serve gratuitously he

chiefly interested in doing what he could to
aid the young republic in an unselflsh spirit
OF American love of liberty.

volunteers, who receive no money compen-
satlon whatever, but are as carefully
equipped and drilled as the regulars. and

meht. one OF these volunteer or militia
companies (dfnering from the regulars only
In not being in service all the time and in
not taking pay) is composed entirely of
kanakas-that is, natives of the Hawaiian
race. This fact would seem to suggest
that the colored Hawaifans are not on
posed to annexation.
or course, there are many native Ha-
waiians who are white and are Americans

HE STRUCK MISS THOMPSON.
Frank Dessler Permits Temper to 6
the Better of Him.

Frank Bessler Permits Temper to Get
the Better of Him.
The number of cases heard in the Police
Court this morning was much smaller
than for many weeks past, and of minor
Importance. In the United States branch
of the court greatest interest was center
ed in a charge of assault preferred against
Frank Bessler, middle-aged white man,
by Miss Maud Thompson, young lady
who has probably not yet forsaken her
teens. The trouble occurred shortly after
o'clock Tuesday night, at 1112 It'll street,
and for some time matters were quite
lively
1t seems that three families occupy the
house referred to-the Besslers, the Thomp-
sons and the Moores. According to the
testimony. Miss Maud Thompson was en-
PERTAINING two young gentlemen callers
Tuesday evening on the front porch. Mrs
Bessler attempted to close the front door
and Miss Thompson objected. Trouble fol-
lowed, and blows were exchanged. Mrs.
Bessler called her husband, who ordered
the callers away from the house.
Mr.. Bessler and Miss Thompson next
Inquired In a diftic ulty. A passer-oy named
Reed, hearing the screams, entered the
house and found Miss Thompson braced
against the wall. Mr.. Bessler's arm being
the brace. There was testimony to the
effect that Mr.. Bessler had choked Miss
Thompson and pulled a handful of hair
from ner neaQ.
Miss Myrtle Moore, a ,:ainty creature
with raven locks and flashing eyes, tes-
tilted IN behalf of Mr.. Bessler, and bested
Assistant District Attorney Mullowny in
rather spirited engagement at repartee.
Miss Moore stated that Miss Thompson
designated Mrs. Bessler as that dirty pig
UPSTAIRS" and also struck Mrs Bcssler
Il told Mrs. Bessler to come back and
hit Miss Thompson" said Miss Moore,
fra nkly, "as I wouldn't stand such treat
nent from anybody. Miss Thompson then
said she would mash my mouth for inter-
fering, and l dared her to try It, but she
didn't
You think Mr.. Bessler was right in
ordering away Miss Thompson's company,
do you?" asked Mr.. Mullowny
yes, l do" replied Miss Moore.
your young gentlemen friends, then, are
OF better class than Miss Thompson 80"
Mr.. Mullowny inquired.
They move in an entirely different
sphere" was the dgnified answer.
ON, they do" remarked Mr. Mullowny,
laughingly. Better looking, I suppose -
"Oh, l don't know said Miss Moore,
good looks don't cut very much of a
figure in this world. you know"
Step aside; that will do" directed Mr.,
Mullowny.
Mr.. Bessler denied the charge of assault
and attempted to show that Miss ,rhomp-
son was the aggressor. Judge Kimball
ruled that he was guilty, howeve1 and i'm
posed fine of $40 The fine was not paid.
and In default Mr.. Bessler must serve
thirty days In Jail.
