NOT AN APT COMPARISON.

In his baccalaureate sermon to the
University of Pennsylvania graduates
the other day the Rev. DIR. Elwood C.
Worcester said: ''The simple are un-
doubtedly the happiest. To find real
felicity We must descend to the animal
Kingdom, and there the happiest animal
is the oyster, safely ensconced between
his two Shells The Rochester Union
and Advertiser takes an exception and
says "The life of an oyster is full of
sorrows; 1t is a life of disappointments,
of blasted hopes, of ambitions unfulfill-
ed. Sheridan tells us in The Critic
that
An oyster may be crossed in love-
Is there anything that more embitters
existence than to be crossed in love?
Shakespeare, in The Merry Wives OF
Windsor, has given US this:
Why, then, the world is mine, oyster,
Which / with sword will Open.
is there any felicity in having ones
dwelling pried open with a sword? But
Ter tells us in 'Dyet's Dry Dinner: 1T is
unreasonable and unwholesome in all
months that have not an r in their name
to eat an OYSTER Does it conduce to the
joy of living to know that one is regard
ed with suspicion by the world during
large part of the year? This conscious
ness must prey upon the mind of an
oyster and fill his days with gloom. The
clam, though it has it's sorrows, is q
good deal happier than the oyster"

The Greatest Poet.

To the Editor: Your correspondent
read with great interest and unfeigned
delight the admirable address of DIR.
Van Dyke at Trinity College, and pub
lished in your columns. Only this state
ment could we dissent from, that 'the
three greatest poets of the past century
were Wordsworth, Browning and Ten
nyson." Lord Macaulay, whom Arch
deacon Farrar pronounced "the wisest
man that ever lived said that Lord
Byron was the most celebrated English
man of the Nineteenth century" This
declaration was made in the hey-day of
Wellington's glory, the most noted of all
Great Britain's warriors. The only pos
sible rival in renown in the latter part
of the century, is Gladstone.
No other poet ever received such eclat
during life. The multitude, variety and
excellence of his productions astonished
all publishers and readers of poetry, and
placed his name in the zenith of all the
literary stars of his time, and from that
day till this no star of such splendor
has appeared above the horizon.
While we deplore the immoral tinge
of much of this gifted bard, still we
would accord him the place his genius
deserves, as We would that of Caesar or
Bacon. 1t is a strange paradox to say
Byron was immoral and then to say that
his poems on Biblical subjects were un-
surpassed. Who has equalled Senne-
char:b?
Byron touched no theme he did not
adorn, whether sacred or profane
Whether sonnet or satire he gave it
touch of Immortality
That any one could have achieved so
much at the age of &c is one of the
wonders not to say miracles of history.
In view Of these facts we scarcely be-
lieye that the utterance of the scholarly

THE MUSICAL QUANTITIES.

The Guamites are a musical people.
The well-tO-dO own pianos, and are fair
musicians; others have organs, and
many more possess acCordions.
They enjoy singing, and are fond of
American popular songs, such as AT
ter the Ball" &c. Their own songs
are rather weird and mOurnful, though
always harmonious. At night the
voices rise in sharp, nasal tones, sing
ing the "novena" a term applied TO
Iine days of special worship to some
particular saint NOvenas are ever in
evidence, for no sooner do they finish
with one than it is time for another to
begin; consequently "neighbOrhood
sings" are frequent.

SHE TIRED OF LIFE
A PRETTY JAPANESE WOMAl
SUICIDES.
Had Been Sick for Some Tine and
Sought Final Relief-Used CarbOlic
Acid and Revolver.

Ito, a Japanese woman living at Iwi-
lie, is believed to have committed sui
eide yesterday afternoon shortly before
Z o'clock. She swallowed a considerable
portion of carbOlic acid and then re-
ceived a pistol bullet in her breast,
While the case has not entirely been
cleared up by the authorities, it is
thought that she shot herself. Ill
health is supposed to have been the
probable cause of her desiring to take
her life.
For some time past, the woman has
been very ill., She had quick cOnsump-
ton and realized a couple of months
ago, that she had but a short while to
live She was one of the denizens of
the old Iwilei stockade but up to with
i'm a few weeks ago, had lived on River
street. She went to the two story
building on the Waikiki side of the Iwi-
lei road close to the rice mill. She
was one of the few tenants of the upper
portion of the building, a male COM
panion living with her.
The woman's health has been failing
rapidly and to friends she expressed the
deserve for death She even threatened
to take her own life, She carried this
threat into execution yesterday after
noon. So far as is known, no one was
present when she took the carboliC acid
or fired the revolver. The pistol with
one discharged cartridge was found ly-
ing by her side, death having evidently
resulted very soon. Her face was bad
| ly burned by the carbOlic acid.
The woman was much taller than the
average Japanese and was a very fine
looking woman. A corOner's jury view
ed the remains and an inquest was
held today.

WINNING BY LOSING.

A few years ago an American con-
tractor cast eyes upon a certain con
tract on the Nikolaevsky Railway. Not
being able to obtain it by fair means,
he went on a beautiful cloudless day to
the parsonage who had control of the
contract, taking with him a huge UNI
brella. In reply to the personage's re-
mark that there was no danger of rain,
the contractor offered to bet 100000 ru-
bles that it would be pouring within
half an hour. The offer was accepted.
At the end of the half hour the sky was
still cloudless, the sun was shining even
more beautifully. The contractor there
fore lost the bet-but he got the con-
tract.-NeW York Commercial Adver-

TENNIS TOURNAMENT

The tennis championship and at least
temporary possession of the trophy
was won on the Pacific courts yester-
day afternoon by w. p. Roth after five
sets of hard played tennis. Roth start

was not i'm the best Of condition, hav-
ing been badly played out by Mondays

through the tournament. The first set
was won in handy fashion by good ser
vice. clever placing and the setting of a
pace faster than Atherton could play
against. The efforts of the opening set
left Roth pretty well exhausted and
Atherton's clean form, hard driving
and effective smashing won him the
next two sets.
There was but little ginger left in
either opponent as they came out for
the fourth set Roth was dizzy and
had to be handled prize fighter fashion
in the intervals and Athertons hard
fight had worn the speed off his driv-
ing and made his excellent service I'M
certain. The fourth set told the tale
and both men braced for the fight.
Roth won the first game on his service
and Anterior the second on his. SO it
ran until five all was called. The set
finally came to Roth through some of
| the preUtiest lObbing seen ON the
courts added to the fact that AthertOn

were not legitimate at that stage Of

rescue in the beginning and he got in a

game of the first. Atherton had lost
the speed of his stroke and could not
regain it with the result that the balls
went into the net. Five straight games
demoraliZed AthertOn altogether, and
two games more gave the victory to

heavy carnatiOn lei was bestowed up
on the victor together with the cup.
Atherton played splendid tennis while
he lasted a better game than Roth
from a form standpoint. He has the
wisdom to play for the point, not the
game, a course not often followed by
other local players who are usually
more anxious to return than close the
point. on easy second serves from
Anterior there were several OppOTtu-
mites wasted by Roth for cross placing
which were sacrificed to straight re-
