GEERS IS
THE PEER
treat Record of
the Silent
Man.

Ed Geers. rare speedmaker, the Isl
lent man." as he is known on the grand
circuit, has driven more fast horses
and has weathered more severe acct
dents than any other driver. In the
twenty years that he has been con-
nected with the turf Geers has won
over 100000 on the turf for his EN-
ployers.
For over twenty years Geers has been
n figure on the grand circuit and is the
best known driver and trainer that ever
sat behind a horse. He never uses
hopples on his pupils to convert them
to the pace. but does it in his own way
by changing their shoe. and to this
method many lay his great success with
his horses.
He has had more frightful accidents
than any living driver. a broken wrist.
n broken ankle. has had several horses
drop dead under him. yet each year he
goes into the closest competition with
all OF his old courage. always winning
more purse and stake money than any
other trainer. He draws a salary of
$1,000. and earns it. He likewise keeps
II. and is today a wealthy man. An
inveterate smoker, he is teetotaler
and as hard a worker as ever sat in a
sulky. His habit of keeping good hours
and his simple way OF living keep him
hale and hearty at an age at which
many other men would be retired and
pensioned of.
In all his twenty years on the cir
cult Geers has Yet to- be fined by the
judges. and he always drives to- win
every heat needed To win. Doubtless
no other driver commands the respect
OF managers and the public as does
Geers, and his employers rarely of late
years bother To go To the races other
than those near their home.
In 1891 Geers signed to train the VII
lage Farm horses of Cicero j. Hamlin.
succeeding William J. Andrews. with
the privilege OF training Il few outside
horses. Prior 10 that season his old
standby. Hal Pointer. recorded then

Since that date il is believed that the
famous Tennesseean has put more 2:iO

Though Geers has gained much repu-

Cheap Coronation scnt..

A searcher in by-past records writes
to the effect that seats at coronations
were not always so difficult to secure
as they will be at the ceremony of the
crowning of King Edward VII. At the
coronation of Edward |. seats could be
obtained for farthing. At the cere-
monies of Henry VIII, Edward VI.
and Queen Mary the price was groat.
At Queen Elizabeth's the charge rose
to sixpence. From that time the price
rose gradually from n shilling to ten
guineas, which was reached at the
coronation of George Ill. AT Queen
Victoria's coronation the rate for
seats in the abbey was much higher

Drouth in Mexico.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-The
worst drouth in the history of North
ern Mexico prevailed during the six
months ending last July, says the an
nual report of the agent at Jiricalla
Apachian Agency, New Mexico. The
crops for 1902 are total failure. The
Indians dug under the rocks for enough
water to quench their thirst. and
drove their stock for days before find
ing water for them. Many HOSES.
cattle, sheep and goats, according to
the agent, died of hunger and tbirs4.
The Indians" he says, "have been
drinking water that would kill an or
binary man. In spite of their self-heIn
there Is not enough income to keen
the Indians from want" The remedy
advocated by the report is the sale of
timber, which, it is stated, would soon
enable them to supporbsthemselyes if
the proceeds were applied to the pur-
chase of sheep and cattle. If a remedy
is not applied, the report suggests il
is likely that the Jiricalla Apachv al
ways will be burden to the govern
ment.

HAL L0WEEN
| SOCIAL AT Y. VIC. A.
Entertaining Games and Music
( Furnish Much Amusement
for Men and Women.

The members and friends of the Y.
w. C. A. gathered in numbers last
evening at the rooms of the associa-
ton to assist in the celebration of Hal
loween. Though the social was one
day earlier than called for by the cal
endar there was no lessening in the en-
joyment of the occasion, which par
took of all the unique customs of All
Saints Day.
The darkened lights with the pretty
decorations of palms, ferns and other
foliage helped out the weird games
wonderfully. and the carefully laid
plans of the ladies left those present
always in doubt as to the next sur
prise.
In one room was a gigantic spider
web which, when unravelled by the
curious, told of fortunes which the fu-
ture might bring. "a gypsy fortune
teller assisted in the entertainment
while bobbing for apples was a favor
its amusement. A ghostly orchestra
rendered several selections and alto
gether the evening with its games. etc.
was one of much pleasure for the hun
dred or more people who were fortu-
nate enough to be present.

COOPER IS
IN CHARGE
/" BY Authority" of Supt.
Boyd had No
Effect.

In spite of Supt. Boyd's published by
Authority" declaring the acts of any
one but himself illegal and reiterating
his claim to the Office of the Public
continues to act as superintendent and
his orders are obeyed by all the subor-
dinates in the department.
Mr.. Cooper yesterday gave orders as
usual concerning the conduct of the Of
fee of Superintendent of Public Works,
and his orders are respected as such
by all the employees of the government
and others who are affected by them.
The engineers, water works, garbage,
road supervisors and other offices are
under the control of the Superintendent
of Public Works, and though they are
in the basement of the capitol building,
and the entrances are rot guarded, no
attempt has as yet been made by Boyd
to assume control of them, nor has he
issued a single order as Superintendent
of Public Works since his return.
Two policemen are still on guard at
the capitol building, though no further
attempt has been made to effect an en-
trance, ard the matter will now prob
ably be left to the courts. 1t is not
expected that Humphreys will file his
petition for mandamus this week. as
Judge De Bolt is presiding at cham
bers, while next week Judge Gear will
preside and the case will naturally come
before him, if action is deferred for a
few days.
There are many runors- in connection
with further shortages but government
officials yesterday would make no state
ment concerning them, there being only
a simple announcement, that there had
been no additional developments.

JAMES ASHFORD
DIED YESTERDAY
The Oldest Free Mason in the
Islands Dead at Age of
Eishty-Two.

James Ashford, one of the oldest res
idents of the Territory, died yesterday
morning at the advanced age of 80
years. His illness was but brief, and
his age contributed greatly to his
death, which was extremely sudden,
and matter of great surprise to his
acquaintance.
Mr.. Ashford was born in Ontario,
Canada in 1920, and came to Honolulu
fourteen years ago to make his home
with two sons, V. v. Ashford and c..
W. Ashford. He was said to have been
the oldest Free Mason in the islands.
The funeral was held yesterday af-
ternoon at the residence of the son of
the deceased, G. w. Ashford, on Bere-
tania street.
The deceased leaves six children, four
daughters and two sons.
