The whole world is taking a deep
interest in the yacht race which
soon will take place between the
Columbia and the Shamrock, the
the result OF which will show the
superiority of the rival boat build
ers Of Great Britain and the United
States. The Columbia is being
spaced" by the Defender, while the
Prince OF Wales yacht Britannia is
doing the same Office for the Sham
rock. At the same time a long dis
tance race between an automobile of
American make and one OF French
make has been arranged, and the
result OF this novelty race will be
watched with deep interest.
The people in Hilo are beginning
to feel nervous and they are spend
ing hours looking for the lava flow
which is coming nearer and nearer
to the Rainy City. They don't seem
even to have faith in the scheme of
the Red Czar to scare the lava off
with dynamite and no experiments
in that line have been made so far
The idea was not original with the
sheriff. Mr.. Sterling, in 1881, sug-
gested to experiment on the same
lines but Princess Ruth who knew
Pele but not dynamite, stopped the
flow by sacrificing the orthodox ka-
huna rooster, pig, ava and brandy.

the Greater Hiloites and let them Of

blowing the town up with dynamite.
Judge Wilcox is determined to
suppress the gangs OF hoodlums
which gather at certain corners in
the city al night time and become
terrors to Chinese and peaceable
pedestrians and a most offensive
nuisance to women and girls, even

relatives. The gang which gathers
on the corner of School and Liliha
streets is having the special atten-
tion OF the police at present There
is a so-called dancing school in the
vicinity, and the locality is becorn-.

Marshal Chillingworth made raid

That the eruption OF the volcano

sultry weather which we feel so in
tensely hee and which is reported
from all districts OF the group lie
very plausible indeed. The temper
ature Of the molten lava when it
leaves the crater is 10000 Fah-en-

The atmosphere certainly becomes

A Unique Service.

Rev. Antonio Arreghi, the Italian mis-
sionaly who spoke in the Congregational
church Sunday mo- ming and evening,
proved highly interesting preacher, and
an intelligent, well-informed man.
At 23O Sunday afternoon a party
consisting of Mr.. Arreghi, Rev, j.
H, Reid, c. w. Osgood, Z. G., Os-
good, the choir of the Congregational
church and several others, some IS in all
repaired to the Italian quarters on the
Saxtons River road near the Sabin bridge
where short religious service was held
in the building called the "hotel )" however
only about dozen of the sons of Italy
were present. All seemed greatly pleased
and we're profuse in their expressions o
thankfulness. Each Italian was presented
with Testament in the Italian language
and enough copies were left to supply thu
entire gang working on the electric road
Mr. Arreghi gave short address In hi
native language which seemed to be wei
received by his fellow country-men. Th
choir sang several selections, but the fea
ture of the service which pleased the dusk,
toilers most was solo sung in the Italian
language by Miss Alice Jackson.
These poor fellows, strangers in for
eign land. have none tco much of the sun
shine OF life, and the thoughtfulness Of tn
party who visited them Sunday was il
every way commendable.

ANNUAL FAIR AND SUPPER.
Universalist Ladies Provide an Excellent
Supper-Netted Snug Sum.

The ladies' Of the Universalist church
held their apnual fair and supper last
Thursday afternoon and evening in Union
hall. The doors were open at 4 P. NJ
when all who entered could view doiies,
aprons, work bags, picture frames, and
dozens Of other dainty articles, which
tempted money from purses willing and
unwilling.
The first table consisted Of fancy work
done by the Juniors, and was presided
over by Misses Edna Gibson and Marion
Pierce. Next in order was the candy
table where Mrs. L. L, Durham and Mrs
W. S. Durham dispensed sweets to all who
had a sweet tooth and to some who had
not. At the pastry table, pies, pickles,
cookies and chrysanthemums were readily
sold by Mrs Francis G. Flint and Miss
Anna Williams.
No style of apron could be mentioned
that could not be found on the table in
charge of Mrs. S. T. Coy and Mrs. G. R.
Nourse. There was everything from
a giugham work apron to the most beauti-
full patterns. Mrs. John Dennison and
Miss Winnie Eaton were in charge of the
fancy table where the daintiest arti-
Giles OF needlework were displayed.
At 6 o'clock nine tables were arrayed
with all the fxings Of turkey supper to
which the goodly number of nearly 200
who partook did ample justice. At 9
o'clock the floor was Gle red for dancing,
Wheeler's orchestra furnishing music.
The evening proved delightful social
occasion. The supper was praised with

duce the best results when fed with

than two per cent. OF protein, scarcely
any fat, about ten per cent of nitro

roots that are used for feeding pur-

the Wyoming station steers and sheep
that were fed all winter on sugar beets

that were fed On grain and hay.

MOles "a Insect DratrOyeHS.

Moles are generally considered de-
garden. It has been pointed out that
these animals do not live upon veSe-
table matter, but upon insects entire
~. An Investigation to find out
upon what moles subsist was institut-
ed by the Pennsylvania experiment
station. H. Wilson in reporting upon
the results of his work stated that the
stomachs of thirty-six moles had been
examined. He concludes that vege.
table matter is not taken into the
mole's stomach intentionally as food
and he believes that the mole is an
insect!vorous animal. It's habit of
~burrowlng among roots Of grasses and
other plants is induced simply by a
desire to get at worms, beetles and
vicinity of plant roots.
Mr.. Wilson thinks the mole is bene-
fetal to the agriculturist, although in
some instances considerable annoy
ance is caused by the moles burrow.

while in quest of insect food. The
damage caused by eating the grain

and autumn by meadow and field mice

age thought to be caused by the mole.
To keep moles out of lawns and flower

by placing such substances as mineral

unpleasant odor in their runways.-

There is great difference in the
durability Of different kinds of posts
and also III the soil where they are
placed. Contrary to the general i'm
preston, a sandy or grayelly soil,
which is usually dry, is much more
liable to rot out posts than one which
is always wet. In the dry soil there
are frequent changes from wet to dry,
by which more air is brought in con-
tact with the wood and this Introduces
the germs of decay. In an always
wet soil the water is probably stag
nant aud contains little air. Oxygen
is necessary to oil decomposition. An
old farmer who had owned both sandy
farms and those that had q clay sub

had to be removed more than twice on

town gathering one of the girls said
she hau heard such a good story.
1t happened out in the East End
only last week" she said. "A young
woman whose home is on one OF the
prominent cross streets was receiving
a call from Il young man. and it came
on to rain dreadfully. You Il re-
member the night. Several times the
young man offered to go. but each
time it rained harder than ever. He
lived about half a mile away. but. of
course, it meant 4 thorough
ing to venture out. Finally the girl
said. Well. it would be simply un-
civilized to turn you out such a night
rs this. Brother Robert is away from
home. and you can have his room just
as we'll as not The young man de-
INJURED a little, but finally appeared
to appreciate the force Of the argyll
ment. Now. eXcuS me q moment Or
two said the young III and l
will see that the apartment is made
ready for YOU SO she e upstairs
and told her mother, and then stepped
into the brothers room to see that it
was in order. She wasn't gone more
than five minutes. but when II went
downstairs the young man had com.
pletely disappeared"
Everybody breathed hard when she
reached this dramatic climax.
THE young woman looked around
the room in a bewildered manne Then
she looked on the hat table in the
hall. His hat wasn't there. She was
quite dazed. She waited about in an
aimleSs manner. vainly striving to
solve the mystery. Suddenly she heard
rapidly approaching footsteps. A sec
Ond later there came Il soft rap on the
door. The young woman threw it
open and there stood the youth. He
was evidently soaked through and
through. Why, where on earth have
you been" she cried"
At this point the narrator was
abruptly interrupted.
Pardon me- said one of the listen
ers. 'but il l remember it Alright. the
young man said that he went home to
secure his nightshirt."
Excuse me-" said another listener.
'but the way I heard it he went home
to ask his father If he wouldn't split
the mornings supply of kindling wood
for the kitchen stove"
Il hate to be contradictory" said the
third interrupter. "but I'm sure l was
told that he wen home for his man,
mas good night kiss"
And the story wasn't finished.
