PAPERS NOT GRANTED.
Hagey Institute Cannot Be Incor-
porated.

Hagey Institute Cannot Be Incor-
porated.
The promoters of the Hagey insti-
tute, who recently filed articles incor-
porating their enterprise with the
Minister of the Interior, have been
notified by that department the art
icles of Incorporation cannot be
granted.
The matter was submitted by the
Minister to the Attorney General for
his deliberation, and today that Of
ficial's opinion affirming the stand
taken by the Minister was announced.
The .sbjection to Incorporating the
Hagey Institute is mainly for one
reason and that is because it has been
defined as a profession. Under the
statutes of this Government a profes-
sion cannot be Incorporated.
Attorney J. A. Magoon, one of the
head officers in the Institute, in con-
versation with Minister King, eX-
pressed himself as contented with the
decision of the Attorney General. and
it is probable that the Hagey founders
will not carry the matter into the
courts.
The fact that the institute will not
be incorporated does not effect the
enterprise in any way. DR.. Wayson,
being licensed physician, is in charge
and the business can be conducted and
dividends paid with as much regular
ity as if the institution were incor-
porated. Whether the investors in the
Hagey institute intend doing business
on the partnership plan or in some
other way has yet to be learned The
big firm of II. Hackfeld d Co., is not
Incorporated, that firm doing business
on partnership plan. There are ac-
tive and silent partners.
Messrs. T. f. Cowart and j. H. Kirk
patrick, the orignators of the Hagey
movement in this city, and l.. c. Ables
intend sailing for Auckland. New Zea-
land, on the Mariposa next week.
Messrs. Cowart and Ables will return
to Honolulu after the institute is
started to MAKE arrangements for
their trip to Africa, where the treat
ment will be introduced.

pretty, indeed, are some of the
branches of an acrobat's training. He
has to be graceful, therefore he is
taught dancing, fencing, boXing-all
the little bows and scrapes with which
an acrobat receives the applause of an
audience, and which seem to come so
naturally to him. These are only to
be learned rom the master of dancing
and department.
THE suppleness of the limbs and
joints comes from practice, not, as is
usually thought, from straining the
soft joints of child The result of
such straining would be weakness, not
strength. Only those whose business
it is know what can be done with
those joints, how much strain they
est strain. The untaught, would-be
gymnast invariably puts an amount of
strain totally unnecessary upon
muscles that should hardly be called
into play, or, at least, only for balanc-
ing purposes. Experience teaches with
positive eXactitude which set of mus
cles is wanted for each feat that is to
be performed, and only those are used
"When to hold on, when to let go,
these are important items in an aero
bats training. And these can only be
learned when young. 1t is natural for
the child to catch at something when
it thinks it is falling. 1t must be
taught to do the catching only at pre-
cisely the right moment, to turn at
the instant when required.
'In these days the net is an element
of safety in all mid-aid feats. But 50
fearless do acrobats become that they
hardly know, and certainly do not
notice, that j. is there. They could
go through the major part of their
show without it.
"There is piece of apparatus large
ly used among circus riders when
training or learning new feats, called
the 'mecanique.' 1t consists of a belt
which goes around the waist of the
performer, to which is attached a
strong elestic rope, which is again
fastened to wooden gibbet-like arm
The tyro knows that he cannot possif
ly fall beyond the length of the rope
and that, therefore, no matter how
many times he falls, he cannot by any
! possibility come to grief. The use OF
this machine is deprecated by some
performers, as reducing the nerve
training to a minimum. 1t is, how,
ever, in great favor with all whose
nerves are already steadied by eNper
ience, and who are trying new tricks
In the case of women and children the
'mecanique' is very frequently EN-
ployed."

ished and well developed, so he does
not neglect the education of his little
pupils. Indeed, many an acrobat has
mental abilities often lacking in the
ordinary man. He has to understand
some geometry and mathematics, else
how can he calculate the exact dis
tance of jump, a fall, a somersault?
He very often is the inventor of his
own apparatus, and this has to be ex-
act in shape, size and strength.
The feats of an acrobat are by no
means all knack,' though, of course,
constant practice brings with it a good
deal of that.

leader happened to be a girl of six
teen, and she was conducting her fol-
lowers very pretty dance indeed. Up
one rope she went like a monkey, a
swing, a jump and she had caught the
bar of a trapeze: but she didn't wait
over and was up on the silver bars
from which the paraphernalia is sus-
pended. No sailor could have possibly
gone up the rigging of his ship with
more precision or agility.
Among them was an eNquisitely
pretty little girl of eight years. Lit
tie Nellie Jordan was as quick, as sure
as any of the rest. The graceful little
body swung out on pole as fearless
ly as her father or mother. And the

mo, but to have brought that child
to that condition you must often have
forced her to do things she did not
want to do, and very likely have chas-
tised her when her courage failed.
Now, honestly, is that not so?"
"No, honestly, it is not so. Does she
suggest to you that she has ever been
whipped or treated cruelly?"
"The training of child for the ac-
robatic business" said Mr.. Jordan, lis
just simply one of emulation.
"That is the kind of training Nelly
has been through, and, for her age
and size, she is one of the cleverest
little acrobats in the world. Why, she
just loves the business. 1t is not work
to her, it is play. Why, she laughs over
it all the time, and only gets angry if
she fails to do some feat she has tried.
We have never forced her to do any
thing. Sometimes we Jolly her bit

show her how it should be done. That
is the extent of our cruelty.
"The traditional system of child
training is played out The whip
with the steel wire lash the red hot
iron, the slaps, the starvation and the
dark room are as much things of the
past as are the rack, the thumb-screw
and the iron boot
"The chief effort today is to create
courage and daring, to develop those
qualities where they already exist,
The lungs are expanded and developed
by hearty exercise, the muscles are
hardened and developed by athletic
work, such as only extraordinary cour-
age, daring and skill can produce.
AT the same time it has been found
by the modern gymnast that the body,
to perform this extraordinary work,
must be well nourished The neces-
sity for a clear head, steady eye and
unflinching hand requires that the
brain should likewise be well nour-

Mr.. Girvin and He Are Old
Friends.

Irwin p. Dudley, the San Diego law
yer who has been mentioned for the
portfolio of Minister from Washington
to the islands, is an old time friend of
Secretary Girvin of the Chinese Bu-
reau. Mr.. Girvin resided in San Diego
during the sos, when Mr.. Dudley COM
menced the practice of law there. and,
afterward, was a member of the Re-
publican convention that nominated
him to he Office of police judge, to
which he was elected by a large major
ity.
Judge Dudley, as we all know him"
said Mr.. Girvin today, S a very fine
man. and | for one should be very glad
to welcome him to the islands. He
came to San Diego young man,
somewhere from the East, to com
mence the practice of law. He was
successful from the first, and became
popular man-so much so that early
in his career in San Diego he easily
secured the nomination as police judge
and was elected, serving with credit.
He must be a man of 80 or thereabouts
now, fine looking, well proportioned
and natural leader. If he comes here
to represent the United States Govern
ment / am sure he will be popular in
business and social life"

REPUBLICANS IN PORTUGAL.
Warned Not to Provoke the Nation and
 Disturb the Public Mind.

DfSturD the fuDtlC
 Madrid, July 28.-A special dispatch from Oporto, Portugal, says that the political situation, already grave, has been aggravated by the strong meas ures taken by the government to in timidate the republicans and to force them to give effect to it's financial pro- posals.
 The ministerial organs warn the re- publicans that they will be vigorously dealt with. These newspapers declare that republicans cannot be permitted to provoke agitation and disturb the public mind"
 The opposition newspapers vigorously condemn the government policy of suppressing public meetings and de- nounce it 'as contrary to law"
 At Lisbon and other large towns the government Is taking special precau- tions owing to reports that the repub- 1cans intend to provoke disturbances Troops are patroling Lisbon where re- Inducements are arriving and the local commandant has so stationed his staff as to meet all eventualities.
 According to this dispatch the king had 8 long conference on Saturday with the premier, Senor Hintze Ribei. TO, after which the cabinet had a meet. ing and decided to take whatever meas ures were necessary for the preserva. tion of order.
 Reports are current of the impending prosecution and dismissal from the ar. may of a number of officers, among whom are several generals.

MURDERED AT THE A1rAR.
A Tragedy Growing Out of a Bitter Fac.
 tiohal Fight.


 Montgomery, Ala, July 2S.-In the First Baptist church, colored, here to- day at noon, while the state congress of the ministers was in session, Prof F. H. Patterson, one of the leaders of his race in the south, 8 graduate of the University of Michigan, teacher in the state normal college, and high ly respected negro, was murdered at the altar. The tragedy grew out of a bitter factional fight among the local negro Baptists over the expulsion of Rev. J. T. Brown from the pastorate of Big church for immoral conduct with member of his flock. Patterson led the fight against him, and Rev. A. J. Stokes, pastor of another church, sided with Brown
 This morning when the state con- gress convened an argument between Stokes and Patterson over the Brown case resulted in f1sticuff when some negro from the crowd shot and killed Professor Patterson in front of the pull pit. The entire colored population is very much wrought up.
 This afternoon a posse composed of negroes captured George Pritchett and he confessed to having done the shoot ing. Preachers Stokes and Brown. Tracey and Branan and five other prominent negroes have been arrested. and conspiracy is charged Lynching was talked of tonight, but there is every indication that the law will take it's course.

GENTRY AND ROBERTJ. F1TL.
The Famous Pacers Unable to Lower Thei,
 Records.


 Medford, Mass, July 2S.-Neither Robert J. (2:01H) nor John R. Gentry, (2:001s), the famous pacers, were able to lower his record or that of the track, (2:04A), at Combination park this af- ternoon, and none of the 2,500 or more spectators who braved the cold raw northeast winds had the slightest idea they would be able to do so The best that Gentry could do was POT flat, while Robert J. was a trife slower, making the mile in 2:0S1s.
 The pacers made an excellent showing considering the fact that they had the wind in their teeth at the start, down the stretch and at the finish. Gentry finished very strong and made the bet ter showing. A match race between Alcidaha, b m, by Sir Walter (2:11A), and Dick, b g (2:121s), was won by the former. Best time, 2:2212

 New Bedford, Mass, July 2S.-Henry A.. Holcomb, a director of the Bennett and Columbia mills, was placed on trial in the Third district court to-day on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the corporations out of $100OOO. Edward l.. Parker, the expert accountant, who has been at work upon the accounts of the mills. was the principal witness. He presented figures showing payments to Henry A. Holcomb amounting to $266,- 797. .60
 It developed that MT. Holcomb had told MT. Parker that he had burned his books, but that he had saved few notes which he permitted MT Parker to examine. Among them was one in- dorsed in red ink, bearing the name of the late Treasurer Hadley of the cor poration, and that of Holcomb, to the Shawmut National bank for S25,000 with three hundred shares of Bennett mill stock as collateral This, it is claimed, was an illegal transaction and others of similar nature, the prosecu- tion claims, will be shown.

For the Third Jlfne tne City Suuefs
 Heavily From the Rain.
 Waterbury, July 28.-For the third time within few weeks rain has caused heavy damage In this city, and to-night's damage, though not as large as on the previous occasions, will ag- gregate, it Is estimated, upwards of SIC, 900 on account of stores being food ed and streets washed away. The dam age is in the same section that was for merly flooded. Little Brook again over flowed its banks, while the rain poured down the hillside streets with almost the force of a river.
 Heavy loss is also reported at Bridge port, as the sewers there were made quate to carry off the flow and cellars of stores in the central portion of the city were badly flooded. On several streets the water was level with the curb. No accurate estimate can yet be made of the loss, but it will be among the thousands.
