featured.

Although China is making rapid pro-
gress i'm the art of war, the introduce
ton of railroads and other modern inn
provements, the government continues
to manufacture the ridiculous two
men breech loading -jingals" that have
Ceen used by the soldiers of the Chinese
empire ever since the invention of gun
powder. 1t is asserted that 1884 Of
these guns have been issued to the
troops of the various provinces during
the last year, and that the board of
war has authorized the manufacture Of
200, 900 more.
The jingal is a curious weapon that
looks more like a telescope than a gun.
1t is mounted upon a tripod six or
eight feet high, so that IL can be fired
over the heads of the soldiers in the
front ranks. The barrel is about nine
feet long; the bore about an inch and
one-half in diameter, and the projectile
can be either solid or a bunch of small
shot tied up in a bag of thin rice paper
IT has an effective range of from two
or three hundred yards only, and for
eign officers who saw it i'm use in the
late war with Japan say that 1t is no
more to be feared than any other old
fashioned blunderbus. 1t takes two
men to load and fire it, and when 1t is
dismounted they carry It on their
shoulders like a piece of scantling.

NOREGASHAPPROPRIATED
FOR CARE OF PEOPLE AFTER
QUARANTINE.
Question of Whether Emergency is One
Contemplated by Law-$2O,O 900 Voted
for Purpose.

The Council of State yesterday after
noon appropriated the sum of $4,000
for the support of people after being
released from quarantine. 1t Is pro-
posed to maintain them until such time
as work could be provided or other
permanent arrangement made 1t is
figured that $4,000 will be required for
buildings and furnishings and $4,000 for
subsistence.
The meeting of the Council was held
from o'clock yesterday afternoon.
President Dole was in the chair. Min
lister Damon read the letter from the
President of the Board of Health re-
questing Government aid and also the
resolution of the Executive Council
asking for $4,000.
President Dole then presented a for
NAL Act appropriating the sum re-
quired.
There was question, apparently, in
the minds of some whether or not the
Council of State had the power to vote
money for the maintenance of people
after their period of quarantine was
over. 1t was contended that the care Of
unfortunates was not a part of the
emergency to be provided for.
Attorney General Cooper replied to
various speakers and finally ruled that
the COuncll OF state nau the power W
declare the present need a part of the
emergency and could then make the
appropriation.
The report of j. P. Cooke as to how
the money would be expended, as near
| ly as it is now possible to reckon it, was
read. 1t was remarked that no esti-
mate could be made upon what the
expenses of keeping the people would
be in the end.
On a vote the bill passed unani-
mously.

WHO WILL WIN
BY THE DOPE
The Myrtle Seniors and the My-
tie Juniors are Picked by
One Who Thinks he Knows.

Boat races, like horse races, are ex-
tremely uncertain affairs, and the un-
expected is ever prone to happen. Two
years ago the Healanis upset calcula-
tons by winning the championship. and
last year the wearers Of the blue went

The little-fancied Myrtle Oarsmen. This
year the crimson flag is a prime favor

time made In a workout, condition, and
the reported unevenness of the Hea!ani

The Myrtles will undoubtedly make a
great showing: Judd, their stroke, has
taught the crew the IaIe stroke, all
but the catch. Judd catches properly
himself. but his crew most certainly
do not appear TO do so. This defect Is

THE REMARKABLE FEAT
OF A GIRL SWIMMER
Holds an Umbrella in One Hand for
Forty.one Minutes in the
Water.

The remarkable feat of swimming for
forty-one minutes and during all that
time using one hand to hold an open UNI
bIella over her head, with stiff wind
blowing, was accomplished by a Milwau-
kee girl, Miss Lydia Winterhalter. TO
win a wager, she undertook to remain In
the water under these difficulties for half
an hour, and succeeded in overreaehing
the time limit by eleven minutes.
The undertaking would have been for
nidable one for any practiced swimmer
for the burden of supporting an umbrel-
H. light though 1t may be, Is considerable
for that length of time without a SHIFT
from hand to hand, while it also means
that one arm Is useless as far as assist
ing in the operation of swimming IS con-
lcerned, in the presence of a stronS brs &c.
and 1t Is seen the self-imposed task was
one from which almost any one Noulc
shrink For a young woman, therefore
| to ACCOMPLISH it with its tax on tbs
strength and endurance, is matter OF
J special note and in consequence Miss
( yVinterhalter has found herself In the
possession of a newly acquired reputation
I as a swimmer deserving of respectful
lccr slderation. The young woman, who i
I nineteen years of age, has been fond O.
\ the water ever since she was child, ans
she has always been an adept at I'M
lsport. but it was not until this achieve
rpent that she had an opportunity Z
demonstrate what she could actually dc
! Miss Tinterhaiier was swimming wit
several companions. one 0f whom was al
tempting to swim about with an uTnbreih
in her hand. when a discussion arose a
to the difficulty of the feat, Miss Winter

halter expressing the opinion that II was
not especially hard. and that she could
do 1t for half an hour, if need be. Tho
beast was not made with any intention OF
putting II into practice, but a man wh0
took part in the discussion insisted that
the young woman could not possibly do
as she proposed, Miss Winterhalter's as
sCrance asserted itself and she inquired
how much he was willing to wager on his
opinion. A 81 bet was the outcome and
the other swimmers gathered about to
watch the experiment.
Miss Winterhalter was as good as her
word. She swan into the deep water
With the umbrella In her right hand, and
set about to earn that dollar bill. The
conditions were that she should hold the
umbrella in the same hand without
changing, though she could use any
method OF swimming that she desired.
The young woman swan about awhile on
her side and then on her back, and then
rested by treading water, but during 1t
all the umbrella continued it's upright po-
sition above her head, and never gave the
slightest indication Of dropping, as the
minutes passed by. The swimmer laugh
ed and conversed with those watching the
feat, and gave no sign of exhaustion,
and when finally the half hour was pro-
nounced up by tie timekeepers and the
VIZ ger was wone, she decided to stay q
I! little while longer. Finally, when forty
one minutes had elapsed, she swan
ashore apparently as fresh as when she
had stepped into the water nearly three
quarters Of an hour before.

made in the rules governing racing and
measuring, and it would be wise for
the yachtsmen to hold a meeting at
once to consider these and other mat
tiers Of import In connection with the
day.
Merchants and others are responding
literally to the call for funds, so that
the celebration will not be handicapped
for the want of funds, and there seems
every reason to belive that the first Re
gatta Day Of the Territory of Hawaii
viii be the most successful of any ever
held in the Islands.
Yachting Is one of the greatest of
American sports and we, as an aquatic
community, should be able to show
that we are not behind the balance of
the Union in our interest in the mat
ter.

MAKING REGATTA

The Judges Should Be Yachtsmen,

promise TO be more exciting than ever
before.
In the yacht races a large number of
entries are promised. and with several
new and promising candidates in the
field there will be a delightful uncer-
tainty about most of the events which
will make them doubly interesting.
1t is TO be hoped that the judges Sc

will be genuine yachtsmen. This is not
TO impugn the motives or honesty of
any of the judges in the past, but there
can be no question but that men famil-
lar with the sport by actual participa-
| ton are best qualified TO be judges.
What would our horsemen think. or
say If they were supplied with judges
for June 18th. who could not tell the
] difference between a thoroughbred
/ horse and a water-buffalo? The
chances are that there would be the
tallest kind of kicking and the horses

Let the committee see that there are
no landlubbers in the judges box for
next Saturday.
Another thing that should receive
special attention Is the matter of the
course and the stake boats. The course
should be decided upon and the decision
made public early in the week, so that
the sailor boys may have the opportu-
nifty, If they choose, of going over the
course one or more times to familiar.
