WEEKLY RACES
TO BE RESUMED
The Hawaiian Driving Assc'
citation Agrees on This
Step.

The Hawaiian Driving Association
held its monthly meeting at the Ha-
waiian Hotel last night. The following
members were present: Messrs. Souie,
Bellina, Halstead, Diggs, Moore, Dee,
Chaplain. Vierra and Nichols.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and adopted and the constitution
and bylaws ratified.
Arrangements for the Thanksgiving
Day meeting were discussed and the
club, from financial and other stand
points, was reported to be on a salts
factory basis.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
weekly races be resumed, and this will
be done, as it was for that express pur-
pose that the organization came into
existence. Many horse owners of lin
tied means will thus be enabled to en-
joy the SPORT of racing their horses
without depicting their pocketbooks. as
is too often the case in the majority OF
racing clubs and associations on the
Mainland.

HELP FOR

Money Needed For the

Chamber of Commerce Members
Lay Plans for Sending
Aid at Once.

At a special meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce held yesterday afternoon
for that purpose, it was decided that
money should be Immediately collected
in these Islands to help towards the re-
lief of stricken Galvestom
President j. F. Hackfeld called the
meeting to order at 8 o'clock. and In
formed the members of the purpose of
their coming together.
when some terrible afflicticn befalls
any community, such as the awful af-
fair at Galveston" said Hackfeld, sit
is customary to appeal to the sympa-
thies of all mankind for relief HUI
mainly demands that we should help
each other to bear our troubles and it
is only fitting that when, as in the case
of Galveston, hundreds and even thou
sands have lost their lives. while thou
sands more are left destitute and suf-
fering for the necessities of life, that
tire whoe country sh ,uld spond to
the call for help and send assistance as
soon as possible.
Already, from all parts of the Unit
ed States, money, food and clothing
have been sent to Galveston and it Is
most fitting that Hawaii, the youngest
Territory of the United States should
send along her mite to swell the gen.
eral relief fund
'The right thing to be done at this
time, it seems to ME, Is to appoint a
committee to take charge of the work
Of collection. To place subscription
books in all the banks and other prom
inent places and receive from all who
are willing to give that which they are
able to afford
Mr.. Charles NJ. Cooke, president Of
the Bank Of Hawaii, then moved that
a committee of three be appointed by
the chair and that money be received
at the banks and other prominent
places. in any sum, big or little, and
that all that could be collected should
be sent by the Australia to the Coast
on Tuesday, October 2. The motion
was seconded and the president ap-
pointed ]. B. Atherton. chairman; Paul
Isenberg and Robert Levers as the
committee to take charge of raising the
funds.
Collection bureaus will be immediate

drug stores and posters will be placed

opportunity to contribute towards the
alienation of the sufferings of the sur
vivors of the Galveston horror. All
the money possible will be collected in
Honolulu prior to the departure of the
Australia. Whatever is collected on
the other Islands or sent to Honolulu
from the other Islands will be sent on
to San Francisco on later steamer. 1t
is hoped that all who can will give
something towards this cause. even If
it be only half dollar. Thousand
dollar checks also thankfully received
or even hundred dollar checks.

CHAPTER XIlI.-(Continued.)
Dropped it! You do not mean to
say that the letter is lost?" exclaimed
Falkland, starting forward with look
of terrible anxiety on his face. Really
Miss Luttrell, how very But, dls-
covering Miss Luttrell's gaze concen-
trated upon him in absolute amaze
ment. he seemed suddenly to bethink
himself for, leaning back against the
cushions, he folded his arms with an
air of calm complacence and laughed
indolently. ut is so annoying, l al
ways think, to lose ones correspond
ence; one never cares to have ones
private affairs published from the
housetops. But, great heavens, why
are we stopping here?" Falkland
sprang up from his seat and let down
the window with bang as the train
began to slacken speed.
"Why, what do you mean? We stop
at Redhill, of course; this is where
Parker will be waiting with the lug
gage" and Evelyn commenced rubbing
vigorously at the window nearest her,
at the same time peering out anxiously
through the dimmed glass in the hope
of catching a glance of the missing
maid.
But Falkland, who had his head half
way out of the window as the train
came to a standstill by the side of the
lamp-lit station, all at once drew back
into the carriage and brought up the
window again with a resounding bang.
"Redhill, Miss Luttrell? Oh, did l
not explain?" AS he turned his face
toward her Evelyn noticed that he was
deadly pale. This train was not
down on the time table to stop here.
Lynwood is the first stopping place;
so that it will be the next station
where Parker is to be found"
Are you sure?" Evelyn bent for
ward anxiously. Had you not better
ask somebody to make certain? Yes,
here comes a guard; ask him.
She had risen to her feet and was

likely" was the majors reply In a
voice which made Evelyn survey him
in silent wonder, whilst Falkland's
face became simply livid. "only, as
it happens, it was fully ten minutes to
nine when l took my departure from
the hotel; and l can assure you that
barely two seconds before l was in
your aunt's room, talking to Lady
Howard herself" =
AT ten minutes to nine you were
talking to Aunt Lydia at the Royal
George!' What on earth DO you
mean?"
81 mean what say, Miss Luttrell;
and, If it is true that you are now off
to join her In London-because this Is
the express, which does not stop be-
fore you reach town. am afraid you
are the victim Of another forgery and
some vile scheme concocted simply
with an idea of inveigling you away"
And, having so delivered himself, the
major folded his arms and, with an
air Of studied calmness, stood looking
from one to the other of the two hor-
rified countenances.

Priceless Volume.

About four years ago a London
blacksmith noticed on second-hand
bookstall a very old book priced at z
cents. He bought it, and after at
tempting to read it, threw it aside and
soon forgot it. One Of his dodgers
happening to sec the book recently,
and, noticing that it was dated 1450,
asked permission to show it to the
British museum authorities. A day or
two later the blacksmith was request
ed to call, and the secretary. to his sur
prise, asked him what he would take
for the book. In some slight confus-
ion the man said, What will you
give?" "Will $3.50 suit your" was the
answer of the secretary. The black;
smith was so dumfounded that the
secretary thought he was ridiculing
his offer, and thereupon Immediately
increased it to $500, which was at once
accepted. Sooner than have lost the
book, however, which was the first
book that Gutenberg ever printed and,
therefore almost priceless, the mus
cum authorities would have paid all
most any sum that had been asked

"You mean to say"

''You mean to say"
THAT it is a liza downright lie"
he exclaimed, all his pent-up fury
bursting into a flame-"as I myself
happened to see Lady Howard passing
on her way to the station now more
than an hour ago!"
you saw her driving past?" Evelyn
gave one wild despairing glance
around.
"And at ten minutes to nine I left
her sitting in her own room at the
Royal George Miss Luttrell," declared
the major in the same peculiarly calm
tone. Which do you believer?
(which? Great heavens, do you
suppose there is any question:" in
terrupted Falkland, with a harsh
laugh.
The major smiled.
well, perhaps not, when one takes
into consideration that on the one
hand the statement comes from man
who would stoop to anything in order
to secure his own ends-an individual,
in fact, who habitually carries about
with him a supply of most dangerous
drug, which he administers, as oc-
casion requires, to any passing ac-
quaintance. That reminds me, Mr..
Falkland. For the future, third of
that amount which you gave to me last
night will be quite enough; and even
then you will have plenty Of time to
make a thorough search and disap-
pear, bag and baggage, before your un-
fortunate victim, whoever he may be,
has enjoyed more than his allotted
share of dreams; only be quite sure
he does drink it-that is all. had the
sense not to do So"
Il beg your pardon, Major Brown;
but, IL you wish to insinuate-"
Thank you, wish to insinuate
nothing. l am merely anxious for you
to know that you have not been quite
as lucky as usual in the choice OF your
subjects" Here the major raised his
foot to the carriage step and looked

had seized the strap and seemed to De
making a vain attempt to let the win
dow down, when suddenly a key was
inserted in the lock, the door was
hastily thrown back, and the light OF
a lantern was directed into the car
riage.
There was a momentary pause as
both Falkland and Evelyn, completely
dazzled by the light, stared vacantly
at the dark figure before them, and
then
Great heavens! Miss Luttrell, is
that you? l thought must have been

1t was Major Brown himself who
stood there indistinctly defined in the
darkness; and at the sound of his
voice Evelyn's heart gave a great
bound, whilst every particle of color
retreated from her face. Only now did
she realize that after that evening she
would most probably never see him
again-never again! Full Of this new
thought, she Immediately thrust out
her hand, forgetting as she Gid so all

CHRISTIANITY IN BUSINESS.
Its Principle Applied to Commercial
Affairs Would Work Glorious

Affairs would work GLORIOUS
Revolution.
There is not the least question that
as the commercial world is organized
and run today it is run at a fearful
less along the side of money" writes
Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, author of I'm
His Steps, in the November Ladies'
Home Journal. Even the rules Of
success that business men lay down do
not insure success. Perhaps no age has
equaled this for disturbance and un-
rest and warning interests in the bust
ness world. If the principles of Chris
tianity were applied to the whole bust
ness world it would cause a shock
that for the time being would result
in what might indeed prove to be the
greatest financial panic of the ages.
But out of that result would emerge
a new order Of buying and selling that
would result ultimately in more finan-
cial success on the part of more people
than the world has ever witnessed.
Ultimately love will pay in dollars and
cents better than selfishness. On sell
fish principles the business world to-
day does not succeed even in the mat
ter of making money-that is. not for
any length of time nor for the masses
Of the people. Love in business would
lose less money, and actually distrib-
ute the real earnings Of toll among
a far greater number of human beings,
than is possible now under the pres
ent system.'

There was an awful silence, and then
Evelyn passed her hand with gesture
of dazed bewilderment across her eyes
and slowly recovered herself
"a forgery-that letter." she gasped.
ooh, surely, you are mistaken! lit
cannot bel"
Yet, even as she spoke, even as her
eyes rested for one brief moment upon
the majors face, terrible fear took
possession of her, and, starting to her
feet, she made one quick movement
toward the door. Instantly, however,
a hand was laid upon her arm.
Miss Luttrell, what are you doing?
Are you mad? Have your senses for
saken you?" expostulated Falkland,
with sudden vehemence, that you
can believe such an absurd, really out
rageous fabrication ?"

Some Inside Points on How Chinsss
rnuceasiana Ara Rscurad.s

Concessions Are secured.s
The usual procedure in securing Chi
nese concessions is somewhat as fol-
lows: There first comes to Picking the
advance agent, the typical concession
hunter, to look over the ground and
find out what China has to give away
that can be taken up by public COM
pany and secure the support OF the
share-buying public abroad. Some
times he is sent as the representative
of a group of capitalists who have
definite idea of what they wish to Sc
cure, and in such cases he is furnished
with formidable letters of credit, to
supply the very necessary sinews OF
this financial war. Sometimes he
comes unsupported, and, having
"hooked" some conditional grant,
posts hot-footed to London or New
York to see what can be done with It.
Occasionally promoters are of a DIFF
ferent class entirely; namely, the
agents of foreign governments, trying,
under the cloak Of private enterprise,
to advance a political design in somf
of the empire in which these governs
ments seek predominating Influence
says Charles DENLY in the Forum. ExH
perience has proved that these advancv
agents need not be gentlemen OF thu
highest education or refinement, buG:
they do need to be endowed with cer-I|
tain instinct for diplomacy In its lower'
forms, and they must be, above all,
shrewd and persistent, Of indomitable
perseverance, and with a faculty for
making friends. Scruples as to meth
DDS are with them superfluous, but a
willingness and an ability in the APP
plication of palm oil" are indispens-
able. They must, also, be men OF their
word toward those who work with
them. What they promise to those
who aid in the negotiation OF their
contracts they must faithfully fulfill;
because while Chinese business integ-
rity does not rise in the Quixotic
height of refusing to enter into cor
rupt contracts, it expects scrupulous
exactitude in their execution. The
promise of the promoter to his Chin
csc aiders and abettors in social cir
cles becomes a debt of honor, pay
ment of which is, or should be, abso-
lutely sure. On such terms as these
have offices in China been secured,
promotions obtained, enterprises au-
thorized, for hundreds of years; and
the foreign promoter must, as his
initial step, give his adherence thereto.
The method Of procedure of the ad-
vance agent is to make the acquaint-
ance of the mandarins of Pekin; secur-
ing here and there an ally and
friend. Then, at some favorable mo-
ment, he lays his project before the
proper department Of the government;
relying on the support of his friends
to secure it favorable consideration.

Two Dead shots Meet.

From the Galveston Daily News.
One of the most serious tragedies in the
history Of Hidalgo county was enacted last
Sunday at the Lucero ranch. in the north
ern part Of the county. The actors were
Emmett Coy, who has for some years been
in the employ of Guenther Sc Jones as
ranch superintendent, and Bonifacio Peres,
a merchant of Lucero.
1t seems that bad blood had existed for
long time between Coy and Peres. and both
of them being men who We're always ready
to act on the offensive or defensive, as the
case might be. it was only a question Of
when and where they would meet face to
face that one or both Of them would be
killed Last Sunday they both came TO the
ranch, each on his own business They
passed but word or two. when Coy kicked
at Peres. That was the signal for the
duel which followed. Both men drew pis-
tolls simultaneously, and the two shots
which followed sounded like one, and two
dead men fell to the ground Both were
shot through the heart and death was in
Simultaneous. Coy was unmarried but
leaves a large number of relatives in this
section of the state. Peres leaves wife
and two small children.
