NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Cashier De-

surprised tonight when plainly dressed
man about 80 years old walked up and
placed 100000 on the cigarI case.

one hundred thousand-dollar bills. The
money is mine and came here from Mis-

you to find me a few of those chaps who
think Bryan has ghost of show. If
make it all right with you for your trou-

who actually has money to bet on Bryan,
but I've travelled clean through the coun-

souri,. Il want to find some one with
Bryan money to cover it l told you

there and my men get good wages. Most
of them are democrats. They'll all vote
for Mckinley. and so will thousands o.
other democrats in my state. Now l

even that Mckinley viii carry Missouri

The man from Missouri talked SO

The Beretania Tennis Club has taken

Of c. NJ Cooke, they have secured part
OF the lot on the corner OF Beretania and
Kapiolani streets. Plans are now being
drawn for the building Of $500 club

its kind ever erected IN these islands.
One half the building will be set aside for
ladies and the other half for gentlemen.
4 large hallway will divide the building.
A spacious lanai will surround the build

in lawns after the manner of the Pacific

will undoubtedly be as fine as the former

The Deadly Air Bubbles.
From London answers. ]


Very often solaIer gets so severe q
wound from a tiny bullet of the modern
rife that he concludes the enemy has no
respect for the Geneva convention, and
is using the terrible explosive bullets
which no civilized nation Uses now. Sur
geons who know their business are we'll
aware of the explanation of the mistake
The explosive effects are due TO the air
which the bullet drives before it into the
wound
Any one can put the matter to a sim
pie test. BY dropping a round bullet into
a glass of water from a height of one or
two yards it will be seen that the moment
the bullet touches the bottom a very large
bubble of air will become detached and
rise to the surface. In some cases this
bubble has a volume of air twenty times
as large as the bullet.
But when a rife bullet is travelling al
an immense speed it drives before it a
compressed bubble much larger still. A
military surgeon fired pistol into 4
vessel of water so arranged that he was
able to catch and measure the air bub-
BILE, and he found it to be 100 times the
size of the ball.
The destructive effects of this mass of
air when it gets into mans body may
be imagained. 1t regularly explodes.
tearing the muscles in a terrible manner
In fact very often the soldier who is
said to have died from bullet wound IS
really killed by the explosive volume of
air. which is appropriately called PRO
jectile air.

Game on Oahu.

Nine out of every ten tourists who
pass through these islands are possessed
with the idea that this group is entirely
lacking in game of any kind. Let me re-
late an incident of my own experience
A short time ago a friend and myself
started on a hunting trip in the Waianse
mountains. Taking the train from Ho-
nolulu we went by rail to that section of
the country where the narrow valleys
of the Waianae range run almost down
to the railroad. Getting of the train at
one of these valleys, we started inland.
Ii was quite dark. and after tramping
about n mile through the lantana we
came upon native hut, where we put
