STOPPED HULA HULA DANCE.
Ships Captain Refused to Allow OR

Victoria, Aug. 9.-According to ad-
vices just received here there was a
scene on the steamship Zealandia on
her last voyage from San Francisco to
Honolulu because Captain Dowdell re-
fused Mrs. Theresa Wilcox, wife of the
Hawaiian delegate to congress, to give
a Hawaiian hula-hula dance in the sa-
Ion. MIk Wilcox found a young woman
who wAn expert at the hula-hula
dance bshe arranged an entertain

seeingX &iggling dancer at once gave
orders Tint such scene was not to be
repeated on board the steamship.
Mrs. Wilcox, who told the passengers
that she could not see anything wrong
with the hula-hula dance, arranged an
other performance for the next evening,
but quartermaster interrupted her
with the captains orders that the hula
dance be dispensed with. Mrs. Wilcox
was highly indignant, and complaining
of insult. at once sought the captain
She sent a message to him that she
wanted to see him. but Captain Dowdell
preferred not to be seen. He was on

LoNeFELLoW a RHMsrER.
Professor Trisss Takes LonsfeIlow ane
Holmes of List Of Poets.


Chicago, Aug. Oscar L. Triggs, the
University of Chicago professor, who
compares Rockefeller with Shakespeare,
and characterizes church hymns as dog
gerel, told the class in English litera-
ture yesterday that the poetry of Long
fellow is unworthy of consideration.
Triggs made similar expression with
reference to the poetry of Oliver Wen
dell Holmes
"Longfellow had no thought to COM
municate to the world" said Professoro
Triggs. He was merely maker of
verses. Yet he wrote just such poetry
az he was expected to write in his time
The reading public was just then at the
stage Of maturity to appreciate such
stuff as The Psalm of Life, Hymn to
the Night and other fayorites which
are known to every school boy, but
which educated people must admit are
mere jingle, unworthy the consideration
OF any man.
"Longfellow's writings are excellent
for children, and boys and girls may be
excused for admiring The Psalm Of
Life Excelsior. and similar drivel
But the adult mind must seek new and
higher fields of thought.
Longfellow was not truly an Ameri-
can writer. He was too cultured. too re-
fined, to be truly American. He could
not feel the great heart of the west or
south as Whitman does
Professor Triggs also turned his atten-
ton to Holmes. whom he described
pleasantly as modern yoltaire.
"Dr. Holmes" he asid. was the result
OF the Unitarian reaction in New Eng
land, and his life was embittered by Cal
vinism. He had no profound convictions
to impart and he was irreverent in all
he wrote.
He treated the Greek gods with flip
pancy and II occasion had required
would have been equally irreverent to
the gods OF the Protestant Parthenon."
