RACE MEET
A SUCCESS
Thanksgiving Sport at

THE TRACK WAS SLIPPERY
A Fair Crowd Attends ard the Driv-
ing Association Feels
Satisfied.

Il
Association held yesterday after

cess. The association had been i'm
mensely handicapped by the bad
weather in it's efforts to give Honolulu
first class race meeting; indeed until
Wednesday evening it was uncertain
whether there would be any meeting at
ALL In the face of odds, however. the
worked together with a will and the
result was perhaps the most successful
meeting on record considering the
short time available for preparation
and advertising.
The attendance was very fair and
the racing in every event was of a
thoroughly enjoyable and exciting ma
ture. Every race was keenly contested
and with perhaps one exception the
best horse won every time.
On account of the heavy going the
times were necessarily slow. Every
race filled well, Notwithstanding that
L
Cornwell were unrepresented, their
owners not caring to run any risk with
their horses on the somewhat slippery
track. Sixteen different horses APP
peared in the different events and con-
tested a series of races than which,
taking them as a whole, none better
have ever been run on the local track.
The racing was conducted with COM
mendable dispatch and not a single
unpleasant incident occurred to mar an
enjoyable afternoon.

GrOat Rise in Wheat.

With dollar wheat and ten-cent cotton in sight one is forcibly reminded of the un- even distribution of moisture. Too much of it in the South is proving as damaging to the growing crop of cotton as too little of it has already been to the wheat crop of the Northwest. Hot, dry weather, per sistently maintained, has well-nigh ruined the spring wheat crops of the Dakotas and Montana, three states that raise in a fa- vorable season 200, 100000 bushels.
 On June wheat was sold in Chicago at 66 cents, and Saturday last the article had been advanced to S7 cents. A rise of 20 cents in wheat means a rise of about one dollar in the price of flour, and a rise of one dollar in the price of flour means a rise in food articles. Flour that sold at $3.5O barrel is now worth $4.5o, and it may go to $5 It is, however, probable that the price of the loaf will continue to be five cents, for it is known that there is a profit in the pound loaf at five cents when flour sells at s5 a barrel.
 The great rise in wheat is scarcely justi- fled. The winter wheat harvest is practi- cally ended, and it is conceded that it will exceed last years crop by 30,OOO, GOO bushels. It is estibated by the best judges of the crop at 325, ,OOO,OO0 bushels. The spring wheat crop is ordinarily 25o,0OO,OOO bushels Last year the two Dakotas and Montana grew 16O 100000 bushels of spring wheat. It is not likely that the crop in the three states will be reduced below 100,00O,000 bushels thus making the entire crop nearly equal to the crop of last year. Even the bears concede that the total crop will be 800, O,000,- 900 bushels, as against 523 GOO, 900 bushels last year, and 514, 00o,O0O bushels of the last nine years average. There is no call for famine prices. There will be plenty of wheat even for export,

all jump when MT. Rockefeller pulls. the strings. Hanna Is the RoekefelleTs of Re- publican politics. He has his president in the White House. but the real seat of gov ernment is under his hat.
 The principles for which Hanna stands are being carried out more systematically and openly now than ever before. Never until this week has the purchase of Dela- ware by Addicks been recognized by the National Republican organization. Now the party in it's national convention has ac- cepted the principle that man has right to all the votes he can pay for. Legisla- ton in the interest of the trusts has been shameless and every favor has been &C., curately proportioned to the size of the eX- pected campaign contribution.
 The Democrats recognize in Hanna for midable opponent, but they have the sat isfaction of feeling that they know the worst he can do. Money can accomplish much, but Hanna has already exerted 1t to it's full capacity. There is limit be- yond which no additional supplies can bring an equivalent in votes. It is the economists law of diminishing returns. Hannas investments reached their max mum productiveness in 1896. The divi- dends are likely to be materially reduced this year.

War Clouds in China.

Four Americans killed and seven wounded in battle at Tien Tsin brings war within measurable distance But the situ- alton at Tien Tsin is in haze as dense as that which has shut Picking in for a period of nearly fortnight. It is all guess work, except that the force which met and re- pulsed the allies Tien Tsin had good guns and good ammunition. If the Boxer mob possess modern rifles, the regular Chinese army must have supply of them.
 Until communication is restored with the Chinese government it will not be known what the nature of the warfare is. The Dowager Empress will soon have her hands full in disavowing acts of persons in her dominions. and the list grows longer each day. The Chinese Minister at Wash ington is confident that the Chinese army is not concerned in the troubles at Tien Tsin, and as for the forts at Taku he be- lieves mistake was made by their com mandant.
 The United States is concentrating at Taku a force of ships and men that will
 
 cooperate with the ships and men of other nations. Including the Japanese and Rus sian forces, an army of large proportions will soon be ready to move against Boxers or whatever else may be encountered. The United States should be well represented at Taku. The lives of the Legation and of 10000 other Americans demand prompt and vigorous action
 y. But no action that the President may take should commit this country to the dismem- berment of the Empire which holds one- third of the people of the globe. What China can do in the way of self-defense has scarcely been determined She would have to withdraw her armed hordes from

JEAN DE kE. ZKE's LOST VOICE

From a London Cable.
 It is possible that Jean de ResZke may never appear on the operatic stage again. His voice seems to have gone completely, and no one realizes it more fully than the great singer himself.
 He appeared on Tuesday night, and the result was narrowing. No one would have recognized his voice for that of a man who had electrified all Europe and America by his singing. He was billed to appear Fri day night, but did not do so. He was also on the programme to sing last night, but he gave notice that he would not be able to appear. He also says that he will per haps not be able to sing during the remain der of the season.
 This means that he knows his condition is serious so far as his voice is concerned. He also says tht he will not go to America again unless he recovers his voice fully. As this is now extremely doubtful, the American admirers of Jean de Reszke may never have the pleasure of hearing him again.

HE 0RIY DalLY aEEsPAPsa IN ALABAMA
Ladders of the Beers Are Blind.

The dwindling Boer forces are now com- pletely discovered by the march through Lang's Nek of General Buffers army. The Free Staters are isolated, and they are moving and fighting as independently of President Kruger as they are of the Cape Colony authorities. No communication of any kind exists, unless it be an occasional runner, and the distance between the two forces is so great that orders or plans would be antiquated when they came to hand.
 The Boers had last March about 60o00 men in the field. They have now about 10000, one-helf of them being in the Free State and one-half in the Transvaal about Machadodorf. If General Botha has 15,O0o then the Free State commanders have but 5000, and this may be a more accurate statement of the situation. All news agrees in saying that the entire Boer force in the field does not exceed 10000 men.
 If the Boer leaders had political sense, if the would study propositions and condi- tions instead of dream book, they would see that their battle for independence is for the present lost, and they would make terms, and settle down to farming and stock raising, and await a better oppor- tunity. They have fought bravey. No one could have done better in their shoes and their chief mistake consists in not know ing when they are whipped, and on the part of leaders this is very serious mis- take.

THE REPUBLICAN DEALER

From the New York Journal.
 That William Mckinley was nominated for the Presidency by the Republican Ma tional Convention was neither important nor interesting.
 That Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for Vice President was interesting, but not important.
 The thing that was both interesting and important was the fact that Marcus A. Hanna was reelected as chairman of the National Committee.
 The choice of the real chief of our ad- ministration is always better worth att tention that Chat of figure-head. Nobody cares to know who are down on the rec ords as presidents of the various corpora tions controlled by Standard oil. Whatever their names may be we know they will

The Gas Matter.

The citizens meeting yesterday after dermeR last evening both acted wisely in postponng action upon adopting a thirty year contract with the Birmingham Gas Company until the matter of the price Birmingham consumers should pay for gas cities of like size and population are get ting dollar gas. On the other hand many cities are paying more than dollar thousand feet for gas. All facts and fig ures on the subject of gas prices in other cities should be submitted to the intelligent citizens of Birmingham, and particularly to the Aldermen who must finally act in the matter, before decision is reached. The Age-Herald will undertake to present these figures and facts. Its columns are open to the free discussion of this impor- tant matter, of interest to every citizen.
 A question has been raised as to whether or not a long time contract with the Gas Company is in existence-a contract which on it's face calls for readjustment to be made of the price of gas early next winter. If this contract prevails it would seem that under no circumstances is a new contract now necessary. However the matter should be taken up in a thor oughly business-ike way and the Alder men should as thoroughly protect the peo- pie in their rights as the Gas Company Justice should be done all parties.
 The discussion of the matter and the proposition of the Gas Company has de- veloped one important fact-that new con- tract or no new contract the gas con- sumers of Birmingham are to get a much cheaper rate than at present.

THE NOOING

By Paul Laurence Dunbar. A youth went faring up and down,
 Alack and well-a-day; He fared him to the market town,
 Alack and well-a-day. And there he met a maiden fair, With hazel eyes and auburn hair; His heart went from him then and there, Alack and well-a-day. She posies sold right merrily,
 Alack and well-a-day; But not a flower was fair as she,
 Alack and well-a-day. He bought rose and sighed a sigh, ''Ah, dearest maiden, would that l Might dare the seller, too, to buy
 Alack and well-a-day. She tossed her head, the coy coquette,
 Alack and well-a-day; I'm not, sir, in the market yet"
 Alack and well-a-day. Your love must cool upon the shelf; Tho much l sell for gold and pelf Tm~yet too young to sell myself"
 Alack and well-a-day. The youth was filled with sorrow sore,
 Alack and well-a-day; And looked he at the maid once more.
 Alack and well-a-day. Then loud he cried, Fair maiden. if Too young to sell now as I live, You're not too young yourself to give"
 Alack and well-a-day. The little maid cast down her eyes,
 Alack and well-a-day; And many a flush began to rise,
 Alaclk and well-a-day. ''Why, since you are so bold," she said, 'T doubt not you are highly bred, So take me- and the twain were wed,
 Alack and well-a-day.

MRS. EDDY HAS CREEPING PARALYSIS , From the New York Sun

TTOfn lHe NtW 1UIh ouII
 Portsmouth, N. H.-On the authority of a Concord correspondent of the Portsmouth Times, the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, Moth CT of Christian Science" is afflicted with creeping paralysis. Crowds of Christian Scientists, including delegates from nearly every state in the Union, visited Concord last week, but very few, if any of them, got a glimpse of her. though many of them enjoyed the privilege of kissing the front doorstep at Pleasant View. It was un- derstood, says the correspondent, that all would have an opportunity to see Mrs. Eddy from a proper distance as she took her daily drive, but it so happens that some other persons is generally rigged up to resemble her for these daily drives and such was the case most of the time the past week.

Hard Road of Editors

Dadeville Spot Cash: No class of people are so imposed upon as are the newspa- per men. Without any regard as to the cost to the publisher, some people, who have some favorite project from which they anticipate great gains, think it the duty of the newspaper man to bring It lhto public notice gratuitiously. Especially IS this true of soma politicians. If the editor belongs to any of the benevolent associa- tions he must pay his dues as any other member and is expected to publish all the notices for nothing. Who can deny this ? And as a truism those who do not patron ize the newspaper men are the ones who want the most gratuitous notices, and these comment on what is in the paper and manner of conducting it more than any others.
