HoMoLuLu's FINEST.
High State Of EfheIeney of Local Po-
lice Force.


lice Force.
Never before in the history of the
local police force has such a high
state of efficiency been reached. The
custodians OF the peace are all in ex-
eellent physical condition and are
capable OF putting up as hard fight
as one would like to run up against
Lon Agnews. the gentleman pugi-
list" is largely responsible for the
present state of proficiency He has
been training the force for some
months past and has put the boys on
TO many of the tricks OF the trade.
All of the '.coppersr have profted from
Ions experienced coaching and are in
much better condition than they
were few months ago.
Agnew's pupils are the ones who are
probably doing him the most credit.
Men who three months ago would
have been unable to tell the difference
between swing and an upper-cut
have developed into some of the ciey-
crest men in the local sporting field.
Boxing is a thing that every well
constructed boy should learn. It not
only develops the physical but also
the moral fiber: and goes far toward
making man of formerly chicken
hearted boy.
Probably by long odds the cleverest
man among agnew's pupils is Sam.
chillingworth. With little training
he could easily become as good a man
as his instructor ever was. He is a
good al[round man. He is quick to
lead and take advantage OF any weak
points in his opponents delivery His
footwork is all that could be desired
and the way he slips out of corner
is a caution. He leads hard and swift
ly and keeps right after his opponent
hammer and tongs. A boxing exhi-
bition between ChiIlingworth and his
instructor is as clever an entertain
ment OF the manly art as one would
like to see. His weight is about 145
pounds. which would of course class
him among the light weights.
Frank Vida is another very clever
man. He is not up to Chillingworth's
standard but is very good all-round.
He is more of an in-fghter than any
of the boys now training under Agnew
and keeps his adversary on the jump
every minute vida's main fault is in
blocking. but he makes up for that de-
fciency by his furious cross-counter-
ing
Among the new men who have been
training with Agnew is ]. Marcallino.
MarcaIlino has not had much time in
which to develop but is already show
ing marked improvement in his work
II he keeps on with his present work
he will soon be one Of the cieverest
of Ions coterie of boxers.

SKULL MYSTERY CLEARED.
Biologists the Victim Of Joke Play
ed in 1866.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 3.--The
solution of scientific mystery which
has puzzled geologists and authorities
on the antiquity of man for thirty
five years past was explained today
in this city.
In 1866 an imperfect human skull
was found in a deposit of gravel, the
same known to be very ancient, in a
gold mine in Calaveras county, this
state. Prof. James ID. Whitney, then
state geologist and one of the most
noted biologists of the country, ex-
amined the skull and investigated the
circumstances attending its discovery,
and was apparently convinced of the
genuineness of the discovery. Other
experts who investigated the matter
came to similar conclusions, and the
Calaveras skull came to be used as one
of the strong arguments in favor of
the great antiquity of man, and has
since taken an important place in all
text books on paleontology.
There has always been some skep-
tcism as to the authenticity of the al
legged discovery, but no satisfactory
sulution of the circumstance has ever
been found. The latest volume of re
ports from the Smithsonian institt'
tion contains paper by William s.
Holmes, describing recent researches
in connection with this skull made by
him and Prof. w. ]. McGee. Prof
Holmes expresses doubt, but does moi
consider his conclusions decisive
This report having come to the notice
: of Rev. w. H. Dyer, an Episcopaliar
clergyman OF this city. he today told
the story which solves the mystery.
In the 7Os he was missionary =
Angeles camp. near which the skull
was found. During that time r.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Much indis.

the Society for the Prevention of
Crime, in pool room on Broadway.
Mcclellan, who went with another
detective. succeeded in getting into
the pool room. but was soon discover

the touts and employees of the place
and beaten severely. while the players
in the games held his partner.
President Moss of the society was
notified, but when he reached the
scene he found the doors locked. He
tried to persuade the police to break
open the doors but they refused to
take any part in the matter.
Thereupon, President Moss and
half dozen officials OF the society
broke down the doors and secured the
release of Mcclellan and arrested a
number of the pool room frequenters.
The whole matter has bad look
for the city police force. and the opin-

POLAR EXPEDITIONS.
Three Already in the Arctic Searching
for the Pole.

TROMOSE, Norway, July 11.-(W.
L. Curtis in Chicago Record-Herald) -
There are already three expeditions
in the arctics-Peary' which Is on
the other side at Greenland, working
northward, and those of Sverdrup and
the duke of AbruzZi, on this side of
the globe. Sverdrup had been gone
three years on the 25th of June last.
and some of his friends were expect
ing him home this fall. He was fit
ted out for five years, and no concern
is felt about his safety. He has been
heard from once on the east coast of
Greenland about two years ago, all
his party being well and working slow
ly northward. Sverdrup was the sail
ing master of Nansen's expedition. a
Norwegian sailor, modest, retiring and
without any particular scientific at
tainments. but he is accompanied by
competent specialists. He was sent
out by the same people who backed
Nansen. and has the Fran. the same
boat, which has been almost entirely
rebuilt and strengthened.
There Is a decided public prejudice
against Nansen. particularly in Chris
tiania. did not hear anyone speak
favorably of him. although his friends

the ground that he only has the big
head" and will recover from it in due
time. He is charged with being gull.
ty of injustice to Sverdrup and other
companions in his book, taking all
credit and glory to himself 1t Is the
prevailing opinion that his head has
been turned by flattery. and people
declare that most of the damage was
done In America. although he speaks
contemporary of our country and
complains of his treatment there He
has made fortune from his books and
lectures-not less than 500 900 in
the United States nlone-and nearly
as much more in Germany, England
Sweden and other European coun
tries. His book has been published
in four different languages. and he re
ceives comfortable income from ths
| copyright. He has purchased a hand
some villa about -four miles from Tho

those in which he lived before he trav
eled to the arctics. He ignores hi
old friends, is arrogant, dictatoria
and selflsh-at least that is the stor
they tell me at the university.
Nansen was formerly employed a

at Christlania. where he became C,

bile ride this afternoon. Accompan-
led by his mother, the queen regent,

ceived the idea that some desperate
plot was in operation. In perfect
panic they sounded the alarm. The
palace guards turned out. followed bv
all the members of the royal household

The proposed railroad Is to start
at Circle City and run 1000 miles to

course. which will evade the lowlanis

Stockholders Large Dividend.

NEW YORK. Aug. "A cash divi-

s3000.0 900 to s5.OO0,OO0 has been paid
by the First National bank. officers
of that institution while they admit
the payment of a large sum to stock
holders, will not state the amount of
it or the reason of making so gerer-
Gus present. Vice President Hin es
said that the dividend was declared
the same day that the capital stock
was increased. Regular dividends
"eaching one hundred per cent year
have been paid for some time.
The First National owns great
many securities upon which a large
margin of profit has accumulated with
in the last two years. 1t was thought
that the old stockholders were enti-
tied to a part of this. With the in
crease of the capital stock of s10.-
100000 and the absorption of the
Bank of the Republic there would be
many new stockholders. who would
have a share in the profits of the
bank under its former capitalization.

count of ''other stocks and bonds"
