Carl Hertz Tonight.

Another OF his bright and clever
performances will be given by Carl
Hertz this evening, with the assist
ance of Miss Dalton, at the Opera
House, and the indications promise
a very large attendance. The sem
sational illusion of "Stroubaika" is
marvellously clever, and in fact all
of Hertz's maneuvres are neatly
and cleverly performed. Mile. DIAL

superior to any yet presented here.

The Battle of Malate.

Meath the mantle Of the night,
When the typhoon and the rain,
Hid the soldiers crescent light,
Came the stealthy hosts OF Spain.
And towards the trenches crept
Where the Penpsylvauians late
On their rifles gently slept
For the commonwealth of state.
Then the sentry passing there
Stood, a military ghost,
When the lightning's brilliant glare
Showed the creeping Spanish host.
He, with very present mind
Calls attention with his gun.
To his sleeping friends behind
And the sentry's work is done.
Then those soldiers Rrimly rose
And they lit the murky ground
Though they broke nights repose
For the country far around
When the Spanish rifles cracked,
While trenches wept with rain,
And their bloody waters backed
From the wounded and the slain.
Still their flag of glory loomed
Through the flashes OF the FIRE,
While the Mormon battery doomed
With their axles deep in mire.
And the Californians came
Though the steely bullets hailed,
Twas their courage won the game,
In their coats with duty mailed.
For the Spaniards now retreat,
And their bugles sadly wall,
While the wounded soldiers beat
In the darkness for the trail.
L'ENyoI,
And each comrades heart will leap
When he hears the falling rain,
Still the rain for him will weep,
For those comrades who were slain.

Gan examination of the retail
coffee trade Of Honolulu, especially
that carried on by Cinnamon, shows

have found the chicory authorizations
ranging from 25 percent to, in one
case, 80 percent. | have also found
an imitation coffee, said TO be manu-
featured by, which is COM
posed chiefly of roast wheat, peas or

ported by reports from the English ar

victory on the Atbara IVES won by a

stainers. For months Sir Herbert
Kitchener has denied all liquor to his
troops, with the result that in one Of
the deadliest of climates, no army has
ever had so little sickness, been In
such magnificent physical and moral
training, or won hard-fought battles
after forced marches of such extraor-
binary character. No wonder that the

being pondered by military authorities

DISPUTES WITH cAsBY.
The New System of Computing Fares
introduced In France and Germany.

The New System of Computing Fares
Introduced In France and Germany.
Americans travelling in Europe will
chant paeans Of praise to the man
who invented the new cab system,
which both Germany and France have,
to large extent adopted. Heretofore,
in preparing a schedule, 1t was neces-
sary to make a large allowance Of
time for conversation with cabmen.
No matter how well one might know
the rates, cab ride was bound to end
in heated discussion. II the cabman
was English, he bullied and he threat
ened; II French, he argued; II Italian
or Spanish, he pleaded; IL German, he
growled, and, no matter what his ma
tionality might be, he persisted until
the traveller lost his temper or weakly
capitulated In order to stop the row.
Now, all that is changed. An indica-
tor that looks like big cyclometer is
fastened to the back Of the coachman's
box where the occupant Of the cab can
see 1t. When the cab starts the driver
sets the instrument going, and at the
end OF the drive one can tell to cent
what the fare should be. Rates have
been readjusted to suit this new sys-
tenn, and the charge is made by the
minute, so that II one takes a cab for
a short drive one pays for few min
utes only, instead OF giving the regu-
lar fee for a course. The cabmen say
that in spite of this arrangement they
make more money than they did under
the old system. For hundreds of per-
sons will pay the present price to save
themselves a short walk where not one
would have thought 1t worth while to
spend the price Of course for the
same distance. The only sufferers
from the innovation are the horses,
which are kept perpetually on the go
now that so many more persons ride.
and when one considers the forlorn
condition of the average European cab
horse It is a question whether the ad-
ditional comfort to the public justifies
another imposition upon the long suf-
fering brute. Unfortunately, the new
plan has not yet been tried in London,
where, of all places, 1t is most needed.
and, for the present, travellers must
reconcile themselves to the wear and
tear upon nerves and temper which
are inevitable results of communion
with the Ioudon cabby

CHILD VIEW OF HEROES.

Ysang Pupils of Kansas City Schools
Give interesting Opinions
With a view to ascertaining what
the children are thinking about" Super
intendent Greenwood Of the public
schools Of Kansas City recently sub
mitted to the pupils the following ques-
lions: 1. What picture do you like the
best? 2. Tell why you like 1t best 3.
Can you tell the name Of any other pic
ture? 4. Write the name Of your IA
vorite hero. 5. What do you think
makes a hero? 6. What book or books
have you read that told Of heroesT
Many Of the answers reflected the eff
feet of the war news on the minds o.
the little ones, for the majority Of them
selected Dewey as their favorite hero.
Washington still holds his place In the
hearts Of the Kansas City tots, hun
dreds OF them having named him as
their ideal; In fact, there was scarce
ly q paper that did not contain some
reference to the Father OF His Coun-
Try" Lincoln and Daniel Boone got no
little recognition, and an unexpected
religious sentiment (for such q remote
settlement developed in the papers Of
many Of the youthful propounders Of
the problems submitted. In answer to
the first question, What picture do
you like best?" the flial and reyeren-
tial spirits were shown in many in
stances by the answers, Mother" and
the Saviour" The child's conception
Of a hero and his method Of expressing
1t are interesting features Of the an
swers to Mr.. Greenwood's questions. A
lad 10 years old says that Dewey is his
hero because he done something great
for the Americans" Another says
What makes a hero Is good character,
good looks and good company" One
boy says: when boy Is good In his
lessons and attends to his own affairs
he stands a fair chance to become a
hero" People that you like makes a
hero" says Corinne May West, u years
old. ITO make a hero a person should
be well educated and very thorough in
history" says another. One girl thinks
that IAN honest and good-headed man
makes hero" A religious boys defn-
ition Of the qualifications of hero IS:
Bravery, truthfulness, perseverance,
trustfulness and faith in God"
