while adding 10 or IL cents q yard to

eF In the New York Times, who gives
the following information:
This process originated In England .

was secret one, but q fnisher from

that one mill gives its cloth to see il q |

made Of it, fill it with water and let it |
remain over night. When the cloth il

the morning, and when the bag is turned |

moisture and is practically dry Oh that |

is treated repel water like oil or wax
The process has always been consid- |
cred secret, but it is almost an open |
one IN the mills. Women are adopting |
1t more and more for general street |

TONNES ARE CHAMPIONS
PCNAllOCS HAVE NOT LOST
THEIR SPIRITS.
One of the Prcttiest Exhibitions Ever
Seen in the lslauds-Ilundreds of
People Present.
The Townies are the champions.

The Townies are the champions.
The game from start to finish was a
decidedly pretty contest. The score
of "a to was a big one for the Town
les to make against such well train
ed lot of players as the Punahou stu
dents. Before the play began it was
the consensus of opinion that the best
team would win and it seems rs
though this was the case.
The playing began with much snap.
Four minutes had hardly elapsed be-
fore August Conradt. fun back for the
Townies, scooped the pigskn from
Babbitt and ran for his goal, scoring
touchdown. Conradt failed to kick
goal.
In the second half Conradt made his
third touchdown and Captain Corn
well kicked goal.
Schemerhorn made the last toucn-
down for his team. The Townes were
dangerously near Punahou's goal line
when time was called.
Captain viii Cornwell of the Town
team attributes the success to the
strength and evenness of his men.
Brick Whitehouse and Schemerhoru
did most efficient work for their side
Ensign Mccormack and Frank Arm
strong were admirable in their posi-
tons on the end. Quarter Back Cooke,
John Waterhouse, Cockett, HAVANA
nakoa and Motley, all came in for their
share of laurels.
The fallen heroes played most adj
mirable game. At the beginning of
the last half there was no sunshine in
the Punahou camp, but Captain Bah
bitt called to his men to keep up hope.
He kept cautioning them to tackle
lower. Rawlins as center did strong
work until a bad leg took him from
the field. Cupid and Soper did the
hardest playing for their side. At the
end of the game Soper was slow i'm his
running. His kicking was phenome-
nal.
