ON THE TRAIL OF THE RUM FlEND.

The mission Of the Wisconsin is full
of the material for stage burlesque.
Commander Tilley, in the Wilds of Tu-
tuila, was invited with nearly all the
other white people in the place to a
feast, native or haole we forget which,
and he Is said to have fallen into the
prevailing mode and taken too much of
the grog that is red in the calabash.
This was not right in Tilley but his
excuse was, perhaps, the monotony of
life IN a far-away island, the custom
of feasts and a thirst stimulated by hot
weather, mango chutney and the an
cient naval presidents.
Watching the orgie from the neigh
boring thicket were two scandalized
gentlemen of the cloth who promptly
reported Tilley to Washington. The
news, as the dickey bird informs us,
reached the Secretary of>the Navy just
as he was taking his third glass at the
banquet of the Gridiron Club and the
blow nearly killed him. The Assistant
Secretary was there also, INDUCING in
his fourth glass, and the more he
thought about Tilley the more indignant
he got. Both officials arose late, but
when they put their heads together in
the fairway under the rotunda of the
capitol they quickly reached conclu-
sions. Word was sent to Bob Evans
who had just got back from fishing
trip with Grover Cleveland, his nose
sadly blistered by exposure to the sharp
winds that blow through New Jerseys
apple jack orchards; and to still other
seasoned admirals and captains. They
must all get ready to go to Tutuila and
teach poor Tilley the error of his ways.
When the Wisconsin was told off for
this duty there was the liveliest kind
of hustling to get enough gallons Of
stores on board to keep down the mala-
ria; but where there's a will there's
way, especially in a no-license port, and
in short order the Wisconsin was amply
provisioned. It is said that Seattle,
near the port of departure, had three
dry days following.
And now this organized temperance
movement has reached Honolulu and
fixed shore quarters in the blue ribbon
section of the Pacific Club. Soon 1t will
move on the Rum Fiend in the South
Seas with every cask charged and with
the Paymaster ready to take on still
heavier load And then Tilley will
catch it. Imagine that court heavily
charged with fizz, examining Tilley for
signs of stimulants and frowning upon
the empty key which is to be introduced
as Exhibit A. And then when Tilley
has been INDICATED think of the ward
room libations that must follow and the
fierce energy with which all hands,
from Admiral Evans to the midship
mite will put down the Samoan liquor
traffic drink by drink.
incidentally it takes bigger court to
try Tilley than it does Schley and the
cost to Uncle Sam will not fall nickel
short of $4,000. But the amusement
given will not be dear even at that
price.

LAS far as the noise disturbing any
one is concerned, I do not think there
will be any of that. Last Sunday the
battalion had target practice in Manoa
Valley, and there was not the slightest
complaint"
The members of the National Guard
received their final instructions last
evening at the Drillshed All day yes
terday army headquarters presented a
busy appearance, as officers and men
hurried to put the finishing touches IN
uniforms and equipment. Five wagon
loads of equipage were despatched
yesterday morning to the site of the
camp, in charge of a detail of ten
men. The men turned out in full force
last night for final inspection. The
officers were well satisfied with the re-
suit, every man appearing in uniform
and answering in the affirmative when
questioned as to whether or not he had
been properly equipped, with uniform,
knapsack, etc. Just before the men
were dismissed Colonel Jones address
ed them briefly, reminding them of
their duties and outlining the plan for
the encampment and target practice
The five companies of the regiment
are ordered to assemble this evening
at 7;3O o'clock at the drill ground, and
march to the barns of the Rapid Tran
sit Company on Alapai street. Spe-
cial cars will be in waiting for the men
at that point. Each man is required to
carry, besides his gun, a blanket, to be
rolled and slung over the left shoulder,
also a canteen and knapsack. Each
man is to carry one extra pair Of
white trousers. Provision has been
made for 400 men, and they will be
carried to the end of the Rapid Transit
Company's lire on College Hills. This
is fifteen minutes walk from the
proposed camp grounds, and the men
upon leaving the cars will march to
camp, where tents will be in readiness
for their reception. Guards will be
posted, and all the strict regulations
of a United States military camp will
be in force.
The target practice will begin at Q
o'clock tomorrow morning and will
continue until the ammunition has
been expended.
The electric cars win run up College
Hills all day tomorrow, and the SOL
diers expect to entertain many friends
during the day.
If the target practice is concluded
early enough Colonel Jones will order
a dress parade in the afternoon, though
this is doubtful.
Captain Ashley will be in charge Of
the commissary and quartermaster's
department.

YACHTING.

Athletics and sport are growing in
favor in Honolulu. There is no doubt
of it. Two years ago weeks would
elapse without a single sporting event
to mark their passage; today, every
Saturday afternoon has it's regular
schedule OF sports and pastimes and the
devotees of baseball, football, yachting,
polo, golf and other forms of recreation,
take their pleasure simultaneously.
Yachting has particularly prospered of
late. The maritime spirit was never
stronger in Hawaii than 1t is today.
For years the sport of boat sailing was
pursued ainlessly and spasmodically,
despite the ever prevalent advantages
of water, wind and climate which go

yachtsman's delight. Then, quite re-

Sunday School Organization.

AS many people are denied the privi-
lege of attending the Sunday schools
owing to circumstances which they can
not control, and would be willing to at
tend if some way presented itself, the
First Methodist church has organized a
Sunday School Home Department and
invites any one to join the class. as it
will also be termed. Thirty minutes 4
week devoted to the study of a lesson
is all that is required of one to he
come a member of this new department.
Those DESTROYS of becoming members
of this department should address their
applications to Home Department Of
the Sunday School, P. o. Box 100, Ho-
nolulu. The necessary literature viii be
furnished TO all members.

The question is not whether Sunday
field day for the militia involves a sham
battle where two sides fire at each other
with blank cartridges, or a sham bat
tie where a regiment, aligned as in &C
ton, fires ball cartridges at a target
or an imaginary foe. Either function
is calculated to disturb the peace and
quiet of people who observe Sunday as
a day of rest and worship and to set a
bad precedent
