MAKAWAO POLO
PLAYERS COMING
They Will Play Against the Oahu
Club in a Few
Weeks.

on the afternoon of the 23d the mem
bers of the Makawao Polo Club held a
practice game on the Sunnyside
grounds. Those taking part were
Messrs. l.. Won Tempsky, f. a. Alex
ander, d. C. Lindsay, S. e. Kalama, F..
F. Baldwin, w. o. Aiken, D. r. Flem-
ing and Harry Copp. After the game
an informal discussion took place con-
corning the proposed game with the
oahu Polo Club. Nothing definite was
decided. 1t is known, however, that
the Oahu associat ton wishes to play the
Maui boys, but not as yet for the polo
championship. They do not wish at
this Unexpectedly because so many
of their players are novices-to meet
the best team that can be selected by
the Makawao club, but hearing that
Messrs. L. Won Tempsky, d. c. Lindsay
and others of the Maui players would
soon visit Honolulu, they requested a
friendly contest with those members Of
the Makawao club who shall be present
in Honolulu during the latter part of
April, the proposed game to take place
on the goth. The Makawao club is de-
sirous of accepting the invitation of the
Oahu men. They will have another
practice game this afternoon and again
discuss the matter.-Maui Correspond

The object of punishment by
the State is, primarily, to reform
the individual who may, by volun-
tary acts, subject himself to the
penalties of the law. AS to when
this reform has been accomplished,
in a particular person, we can only
decide by appealing to popular
sentiment and official records of
conduct during incarceration. 1t
is in this criterion that we find the
strongest reasons that tend to JUS
tify the parolemenr of Alfred
Packer, who was released on the
TIN inst, after nearly two decades
of confinement 1t is earnestly
hoped that the judgment of all who
were instrumental in securing his
release, will be sustained by honor
able conduct in the future.

ii will be a splendid thing for Den
yer and Colorado to send Tommy
down to Washington and get rid
of him. Things will cool down
and people will be happier for his
absence, and in Washington he
won't be able to attract as much
attention as ae does in Colorado.
1t is an i'll wind that blows no one
any good. Ii Patterson is elected
he will go down to Washington
and will rattle around like mar
bic in bass drum for few weeks
and then allow his natural money
making instincts to come to the
front. and if Tommy doesn't make
use of the inside information he
gets in the Senate and return tous
with FIVE or six millions more in
good hard coin of the realm than
he has today we will be very
greatly surprised. If Patterson is
elected the chances are that poor
Charley Thomas will go crazy and
be sent to the bug house. There
is no use talking there is bright
future ahead of Colorado. With
both Patterson and Thomas out
the way things are bound to
change for the better.-George' S

who had more grace and less ag-
gressiveness. If he illustrates the
form of self-made success which is
not outwardly bold and uncar-
ing, he is in danger of running into
obsequiousness, for there is a
method of winning a way through
the world by slipping past obsta-
cles and conciiating opposition at
all costs. Once more let us affirm
that we do not place these weak
nesses to the account of all self
taught and self-made men; we only
assert their dangers, which receive
ample illustration from the ranks
of class who in some respects are
deservedly admired, and who do a
good deal Of the essential work of
the world. In brief, the so-called
self made man is never fully made
unless he has risen so easily and
naturally above the limitations of
his original condition that his origin
and progress cease to be apparent.
And then he is not thought of as
self-made, but as a naturally en-
dowed gentleman, whom contact
with the world has polished, and
in his character has brought to
view some of the most enduring
qualities of manhood. Mere
wealth ought not to be considered
the full evidence Of all that is re-
quired to endow a self-made man.
Unless he has learned to act gen
erously, kindly, and with a due re-
gard for the feelings of others, the
self-made man is still incomplete,
for he lacks the qualities which in
dicate the true gentleman.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1901-01-15

The disposition of most men to
cultivate and develop the un-
Christianlike principle of selfish
-, must be considered one of
t Weaknesses of mankind. Often
confounded with self-love, there
are no two terms, in the practical
application of which, there can be
wider range OF difference; the
latter consisting of true duties to
self, while the former consists, not
in the indulging of this or that
particular propensity, but in dis
regarding, for the sake of any kind
of personal qualification or advan-
tage, the rights or the feelings OF
other men.

The situation in South Africa is
grave not simply because of the

account of the inactivity of tie

to rise to the occasion and adopt a
policy which would speedily end
hostilities. The trouble with Eng

AN ILLINOIS ROMANCE.
Miss MuIkey Changed Her Mind and
Remarked Edward Passow.

CHICAGO, far IA dispatch to the
Vita. one of the twin daughters of former
Supreme Judge Mulkey. of Metropolis. has
added another interesting chapter to her
romantic marriage TO Edward Passow last
August. Miss Mulkey. while visiting about
a year ago in Texas, formed the acquaint-
ance Of this wealthy ~ranchman, and the
friendship formed soon ripened into love.
1t was agreed that the two should be mar
ried secretly, and Mr.. Passow and Miss
Mulkey visited Kentucky. where the nup-
tial knot was tied. Mr.. Passow went back
to his ranch, and his wife. returning TO
Metropolis, continued preparations for a
public wedding. Only a few days before
the date liked for the event she publicly
announced her wedding. and said that she
was sorry for the step she had taken. She
freely told her friends that she had no
affection for Mr.. Passow, and it was ex-
pected- that divorce proceedings would soon
be begun Mr.. Passow. learned OF the
changed conditions, and took no further
steps to claim his bride. He found it neces-
sary TO visit Chicago during the holidays
owing TO the settlement of the estate OF his
father. and his wife learning of his pres
ence in that city, sought an Interview. The
couple met, a reconciliation was affected
and a second wedding took place in a
Chicago church. This fact has just trans
pired. Mr.. and Mrs. Passow will make
their home in Texas in the near future.
Both families are well known I'm Illinois

EXPORTERS PROTESTED.


LONDON, Jan. 12.-United States Consul
Church Howe, of Palermo, who has just
exchanged posts with Mr.. G. NJ. tombstone,
of Sheffield, has found a honets' nest
awaiting him which he has since been
busily engaged in combating. During the
interregnum the vice consul, who is a
British subject, has undertaken to eonstrue
the consular rules in such a manner that
he imposed additional fees on exporters for
a~fidavits. not heretofore demanded. In a
fortnight the vice consul created so much
Irritation that the Chamber of Commerce
had to draw up a protest to Lord Sails
bury. requesting that it be forwarded to
Washington. Mr.. Howe Immediately coun-
fernandez the vice consul's ruling and a
speedy reorganization of the consulate is
anticipated.
In spite of the large increase of Ameri-
can manufacture of cutlery, said Mr..
Howe, to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press there are some Sheffield ar
ticles We demand, and my view of a con-
sul's duty is to in every way facilitate the
export trade. Sheffield has been a point
of more or less friction for years. But i
trust / may make it reciprocally more
pleasant for both exporter and consul"

INVASION OF CAPE COLONY.
Little KNOWN by the British of the
BOer Movements.

LONDON, Jan. 12.-History fails to fur
nish a parallel to the Boer invasion of
Cape Colony. A whole month has elapsed
river, and still Great Britain knows next
to nothing of their numbers. whereabouts
or doings, and still less of the objects of
the inroad. The only thing known with
tolerable certainty is that they are pro-
crossing southwark, over some sparsely in
bite tracts. where they escape observa-
ton. Other large bodies are traversing
the very heart of the colony. The only log
zeal explanation seems to be the largely ac-
cepted idea that the invasion forms part
Of a great, original scheme of that Napo-
leon of war. General DeWet, to strike
terror in the British colony, which, I'M
ouestionably, is nearly denuded of troops,
and trust to the chapter of accidents to
achieve such success as will enable the
Beers to almost dictate the terms of peace.
The hating policy of the invaders, how
ever, seems to threaten to defeat their
aims, and has enabled the hastily enrolled
Ievies of volunteers to occupy vital, STRAIT
egic points, while there are some signs
that the gathering of troops in the rear
of the burghers is beginning to press them
southwark, into the arm of the British
moving from the seaboard, instead Oh at
tempting to drive them back again across
the Orange river, where they might be en-
abled TO rejoin General DeWet.'
In the meanwhile disquieting hints are
arriving of the alarming rapidity with
which the British army is wasting away.
The long lists of dead. wounded and dis
eased bear out these stories, while mere
are abundant signs that the troops now at
the front are becoming discontented. The
general evaporation at home is becoming
more acute, and the public is becoming
quite skeptical of the competency of the
government to get the country out of the
Wretched tangle.
