THEIR RACE MEETS HAVE BEEN
LOSING GAMES.
People Remain Outside of the Grounds
Instead of Paying Admission--Club
Nav Build It's Own Track.

Judging by the present attitude of
some of the leading members of the
Jockey Club, it is question whether
there will be horse races or not on
Kamehameha day, which falls on June
11th.
A meeting of the club has been
called for tomorrow evening and the
matter will be thoroughly discussed.
For the past few years the race meets
at Kapiolani park have been "A losing
game for the Club. This has not been
due to any lack of interest on the part
of the Honolulu public in the sport,
but because of the peculiar arrange
ments at the park. Since the Kapio-
lani Park commissioners ordered the
Jockey Club to take down the hign
fence enclosing the grounds on either
side of the race course, there has been
a very material falling off in gate re-
ceipts. 1t was discovered that many
people would drive out to the park and
view the races in their carriages from
these openings rather than enter the
grounds and pay for the amusement.
Hundreds of natives also swarmed into
the grounds and witnessed the pro-
gram without giving up penny.
At the time the fence was taken
down the Jockey Club held lease on
the park grounds from the Park Com
missioners. Previous to this time the
Club had always been independent of
the public, because of the easy circum-
stances of its treasury. Liberal purses
were put up and excellent race meets
held.
Mr.. William G. Irwin, a member of
the Board of Park Commissioners, will
be present at tomorrow nights meet
ing upon invitation. The present con
dition of things will be laid before
him and a request made, so it is be-
lieved. that the course be enclosed as
before. The club mas no lease on the
is difficult to say just what disposi-
tion the Park Commissioners would
make of the application, should one be
made.
1t is pretty generally understood
that in case the club should receive
an unfavorable decision from the park
| commissioners, a movement will be
Immediately inaugurated to establish
a race course on the Wilcox land. The
site selected is a good one, easily ac-
cessible from the city. The scheme is
| TO build a race track. inside of which
will be established bicycle track ant
! to use the ground enclosed by the hi
cycle course for foot ball, base ball ant
all athletic sports. The estimated eos
to equip such a park is in the neigh
borhood of $2 900, which would b,
raised by subscription.
1t is the sincere wish of nearly al
of the Jockey Club members to hold +.
fine race meet on the approaching hol
iday. There are large number o
good animals to participate, including
some new blood imported during tn
year just past. Some excellent runnin:
and trotting events could be exhibited
so horsemen say.

WOMAN AFTER CHURCHILL. WITH
MARRIAGE CONTRACT.
The Consul General to Samoa May
Lose His Scalp-The Anger of a De-
serter Woman-The Story.

Mrs. Eugenia Kellogg Holmes of this
city has filed with Senator Perkins
charges of highly sensational char
acter against William Churchill, the
recently appointed Consul General to
Samoa, says late Examiner The
matter will be laid before Secretary
Olney in a few days, the principal OBJ
ject to be attained being the political
downfall of Churchill.
In the accusations brought by Mrs.
Holmes is told the story of mans
duplicity, a woman's confiding faith
and an unlawful love for another
mans wife. resulting in the breaking
up of once happy home. In addition
to this there is "A pretty little story of
a contract marriage, followed by sew
eral months of quiet happiness, then
desertion, tears and longing for re-
venge.
Mrs. Holmes figures as the deserted
contract wife. She declares that ten
years ago, when she was still young
path. She Stunned him at first, but
he was so persistent in his attentions
that pity took possession of her heart,
and yielding to the passionate entrat-
les of Churchill she became his wife.
William Churchill, at the time men,
toned by Mrs. Holmes, was Librarian
at the Academy of Science. He filled
the position for nearly two years and
then attached himself to the Oakland
Tribune. He was a bright, ready
writer and made considerable Roadway
in his new profession. Some eight
years ago he fled from Oakland to New
York with a newspaper mans wife.
| The deserted husband secured a di-
vorce and then Churchill married his
former friends wife. Without any
great difficulty he secured a position
on the ''Sun" and later went to Wash
! ington for that paper. lie came in
close touch with many leading officials
and politicians. and it was through
/ this influence that he was appointed
| Consul at Apia
Mrs. Holmes will forward to Sena-
tor Perkins Il certified copy of the
marriage contract, when the whole
matter will be placed before Secretary

SECRETARY KIRKPATRICK WILL
VISIT KANGAROO LAND.
Branch of Hagey Institute to Be
Started in the ipodes-Party
Leaves Here Next Week-Plans.

Secretary j. II. Kirkpatrick, of the
cessful trip to California and Texas.
While in the States he met Mr.. SUIT
phen, u prominent business man of
Aurora, ILL.,, who, after taking the
Hagey treatment in 1889, bought the
formula of DR.. Hagey, the inventor.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick purchased the right
of Mr.. Sutphen for Australia. which
place he intends to leave for next week
in company with one or two local
parties, to begin operations.
1t is believed that in order to make
the African company, which proposes
to operate in Johannesburg, success,
it will be necessary for some one in the
company to make another visit to
America to confer with Mr.. Sutphen.
That gentleman has expressed a will
ingness to meet the promoters in San
Francisco at any time. Mr.. Kirkpat-
company him to Honolulu, but as he
is a man of extensive business affairs,
it was impossible for him to spare the
time.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick says that it was
perfectly amazing to discover the Am
erican sentiment on the Cuban ques-
ton. sympathy is universally with
the insurgents. In Texas and the
Southern Safes. which are connected
with the little country in trade rela-
tions or in some way, excitement runs
high. Recruits, money, arms and am
munition are being continually des-
patched from these States to aid the
cause. Colorado and Texas have sent
a great many men. Now that the
! American Consul General in Cuba has
resigned nothing but condemnation of
Mr.. Cieveland's policy is heard from
all sides. Mr.. Kirkpatrick has a Sec

reorganization of the Republican party
| is to be undertaken with the purpose OF
| putting none but Otero men on guard and
in power.
The Independents, in very good Span
ish, then says, that it is an independent
paper, that therefore the course indicated
above, cannot harm it any, but that the
Republican party will be hurt considers-
| bly, thereby and that defeat will be the
portion of the party, just as it was in the
Prince Rynerson political embroglio in
| 1884. The paper is fair enough, however,
to state, that the article in question is
| based upon rumors 80 far and that moth
ing tangible has been adduced to prove
the correctness of these rumors.
The rumors, upon which the article in
question is based, upon careful and i'm
partial investigation are found by this
| journal to be based upon the Aimsiest of
reasons, in fact upon nothing at all, ex-
cept the street talk and palaver by few
interested parties and by few Democrat
ic papers. There is no foundation to
them and the New MEXICAN does not be-
lieve they will ever be more than the
merest and cloudiest of rumors and street
gossip.
Indeed Governor Otero's present mis-
sion to Washington shows how untrue,
how shallow, and how superficial these
rumors and this gossip are. 1t is true
| that he has gone to Washington, but his
principal object is to work for the ap.
pointment as United States marshal for
this district of Hon. Solomon Luna of
Valencia county, he being the man whom
a vast maj GRITTY, not only of the Republi-
cans, but of all the people in the terri
tory desire to have appointed as such
official.
The New MEXICAN fully believes and
hereby reiterates its belief, that Governor
Otero's policy will be to unite and build
up the Republican party in every possible
manner. This paper is further of the
opinion, that Governor Otero's conduct
and policy in the future will fully sustain
this belief in every particular.
The Independence also states that Gov
ernor Otero, Secretary Wallace and ex-
Governor Prince have been named as a
commission to select postoffice appoint
ments for the territory. This is only
partly correct; the referees, to whom ap-
plications for postoffices are referred, are
Governor Otero, Secretary Wallace and
Hon. A. l.. Morrison. The policy of the
referees named, as outlined by the gov
ernor, will be wherever possible, to heed
the recommendations of the local Repub-
lican organizations, and in cases of bitter
contests to act in manner calculated to
serve the best interests Of the Republi.
can party and of the people of the terri
tory of New Mexico.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.

The Denver health department has
started fight against carrying children
on bicycles, and despite the opposition
which it is encountering, there seems to
be reasonable prospect of city ordi-
nance In the near future prohibiting the
carrying of young children on wheels in
any manner or form whatsoever. 1t is
said that public opinion will heartily in
dorse such law, because of the many
accidents that have taken place on the
streets recently, the work being in all
cases that of expert riders. Of course
unless rider is an expert, or believes
himself to be, an attempt to set an in
FAINT up in front would be entirely out OF
the question. But it seems that these
experts are the very ones who lose their
heads in the presence of danger, and do
the most unheard of things. Only the
other gay little girl was killed, by being
thrown from her fathers wheel-one of
the Oldest and best riders in the city
But there is another reason for this cru
SADIE. The medical fraternity, it seems
has decided that the carrying of children
on wheels, is not only injurious to the
immatured eyesight, but to their lungs
and general constitution as well. As the
infants sit in positions which do not tend
to initiate the lungs the riding practice
rather superinduces Implications of that
organ if not acute or chronic disease. 1t
is held that the little being has not yet
learned to use its breathing organs as it
should TO counterfeit the effect of air cur
reats with which it must come in contact,
while being whirled along at 10, Is or 20
miles an hour as the case may be. There
are also said to be objections to the
practice from the fact that the infants
eyes are not sufficiently strong to bear
with impunity the citations of the pupils
occasioned by the strange sights and ex-
citement of rapid moving. An ordinance
against this sort of thing is not an in
novation by any means.
The Philadelphia city council sometime
ago passed an act covering the entire
matter and subjecting parents and guar
dians to severe punishment if they per.
NIT children under certain ages to be
carried about on wheels. Boston and
New York and no less than dozen east
ern cities have ordinances of similar
character. 1t is new thing in the west
however, Denver being the first city to
take the initiative.

RATHER UNUSUAL.

The senate committee on military af-
fairs has refused to confirm the nomina-
tion of Lieutenant Colonel Henry E.
Noyes, Second cavalry, as colonel because
of that officers carelessness in the matter
of contracting debts which he is unable
to pay. This course is almost without
precedent in the history of our military
service. The usual course is to court
martial an officer who neglects to meet
his obligations, but to refuse promotion
to man whose conduct is of that order
which permits him to hold his commits
sion-such thing has hardly ever been
heard of before.
Lieutenant Colonel Noyes was appoint.
ed to the military academy from Massa-
chusetts and graduated in the class OF
1861, being assigned to the Second dra.
goons as second lieutenant. A year later
he was promoted to first lieutenant and
transferred to the Second cavalry. In
1865 he became captain, and in 1879
he was made major and again trans
ferred to the Fourth cavalry, in which
regiment he served until promoted as
lieutenant COLONEL in 1891, when he Joined
the Fifth cavalry.
In August 1892 he went back to his old
regiment, the Second cavalry, and has
since remained with this organization.
II is understood that in several instances
the lieutenant colonel borrowed money
from enlisted men, which he has neglected
to repay. It is also said that speedy son
has been to great extent the cause of

ApyIoEs from Washington are to

ADvIoEs from Washington are to the
effect, that it is contemplated to take
deputy customs collectors aud deputy in
ternal revenue collectors from the list of
offices under the civil service commission,
thus allowing the collectors of customs
and the collectors of internal revenue to
name their own subordinates. Examina-
tions as to the fitness of men appointed
to these places are to be had, but they are
not to be competitive. This ls as it
should be. Collectors give heavy bonds
for faithful performance of duty and for
the safe keeping and proper accounting
of all public funds which may come into
their possession and by all means should
have the appointment of deputies under
them. 1t is simply matter of good
business and of justice to the collectors
to be allowed to select their own subor
dinates. In the New Mexico and Arizona
internal revenue collection districts, such
action will affect three deputies, A. j.
Loomis and M. P. Moore, stationed in
this city, and William Burns, stationed in
Arizona.
