Six Hundred Dollars Income Necessary TO
Vote In Hawaii.
Honolulu. Sept. "a. via San Francisco.
Oct. THE Hawaiian Star has pub
liShed an outline of the form of govern
ment decided upon Cor Hawaii by the
congressional committee. The Star says
it is to be called the Territory of Ha-
waii. and VIII be allowed one repre-
sentative in congress. The governor, to
be appointed by the president, will be
paid a salary of $1,000 or s6.0ee a year.
Hawaii will have a legislature and will
make its own laws, subject to the ap-
prevail of congress. There will be no
change in the present form of the legis-
AtHre.
The property qualification of $500 in
real or s., 600 in personal effects to make
an elector eligible to vote for members
of the senate is done away with. To
vote for senator in the Territory of
Hawaii an elector must possess an an
nual income or 5000. In everything else
his franchise is free and unrestricted
by any qualification, educational or 9TH

Natures Silver works.

The process by which nature forms
such denominations of silver is very
interesting.
It must be remembered that the
eaEths crust is full of water, which
percolates everywhere through the
rocks, making solutions of clements OBJ
tanned from them. These chemical solu-
tions take up small PARTICLES of the pre-
cious metal which they find scattered
here and there
Sometimes the solutions in question
are hot, the water having got SO far
down as to be set boiling by the inter
nal heat of the globe. Then they rush
upward, picking up the bits OF metal
as they go. Naturally heat assists the
performance Of this operation Now
and then the streams thus formed, per-
petually flowing hither and thither be-
low ground, pass through the cracks or
cavities in the rocks, where they depos-
it their loads of silver.
This is kept up for great length Of
time, perhaps thousands of years, until
the assures Of the pocket are filed up
Oranniss permeating the stony mass In
every direction may become Allied with
the metal, or occasionally a chamber
may be stored full Of it, as if myriad
hands were fetching the treasure from
all sides and hiding away a future bo-
nanza for some lucky prospector to dis

 ECHOES OF THE
 RACES AT SACRAMENTO.

The marvellous riding of Frank G. Peck of Tuba City at the annual State meet at Sacramento last Monday. when he won handicap, the only two events in which he entered, stamps him as the most prom iSing amateur on the coast. Peck, al- though little known to the racing world, it not by any means a new rider. He has had at least years experience at the game, beginning with the Sacramento meets in June and July year ago, when he showed d remarkable burst oI speed but lacked in headwork.
 President Kerrigan of the Bay City Wheelmen saw in him a "comer,' and he was at once attached to the maltese cross string of speed merchants. That he Peck's riding on the Bay City team in the recent 100-rnile relay He had the fifth 10-mie stretch to cover and rode 1t In 9 minutes flat, four seconds faster than it had ever been ridden before, and 30 seconds faster than any other man in the race on any relay, something remark able for a new man, considering the tal- ent that always competes in that classic event.
 Many think Frank Peck world beater, all dissipations before he could stand the campaigning the Eastern riders have to go through. He Is phenomenalIy fast now. and may have future ahead of him If he will only half try.
 Another new man developed at the Sac ramento meet is Ivan Treadwell who also showed good speed. He started his sprint

 Last evening the following dispatch was received from the Glendale range: NEW YORK. July Tin the National sharp shooters tournament to-day William Hayes of Newark, N. J., carried off the honors with a score of s75 points at the point target. Joseph Singer of Los Angeles distinguished himself with 47 points out of possible 50 at the stand ard target The score was tied by w. Fl Fay Tor or Pittsburg, and the Californian duplicated his first score in attempting to beat the Pitts burger.
 e: w Swain, secretary of the lone Rifle Cub. sends an account of some excellent shooting by Dr. B. H. Foreman, one of the new enthusiasts On June 26, at the lone range, he made on the Columbia target ten shot scores, offhand, at 200 yards, 51, 56, 61, 64, 70, II. On July 3 he made, under the same conditions, 51, 57, 6S, 6I, 72, 75, 77 On the last occasion the doctor fired fifteen consecutive shots, with 32-40 Winchester. 165- grain bullet nitro priming,. bullet seated in shell. The lone Rifle Club promises to turn out some of the best shots fin the State
 A number of rifiemen in this part of the State have been experimenting with new semi-smokeless powder that is giving much softer than the old black powders and does not back up'' with so much vim. The "FF''' grain gives better satis- faction fouling less than the single ''F." Used with a nitro priming 1t shoots as clean as the high-priced smokeless and as evenly and strongly as the straight black. HS Y T rd acts well III TeVOlNer shells. There Is one thing that comments the powder to rife shooters-the manufactur- CTS have not yet joined the powder com bine. When shot straight, the ordinary black powder primers can be used, but with nitro priming nitro primer must be used.
 The military shots have learned with regret and sorrow that poor old Corporal Lew Townsend Is no more. A more en- thusiastic riheman could not be found in the State, and so dearly did he love his old Springfield musket that he adorned the piece as no gun ever had the honor of being decorated before. The barrel was of rich bronze and the stock and handle of the cleaning rod were inlaid with orna- ments and brilliants. Away back a quar- ter of a century ago he shot with some of the best marksmens of that day, and held his own and 1t was rarely that he missed attending the monthly class medal contests of his company on the Shell Mound range, even when so i'll that he could hardly hold up his gun. His affec- tion for This boys" was almost as great as his love for his musket. He will be sadly missed on the range.
