WITH THE wREsTLERs.
Waterbury Has Put in Bid for Jen-
 kins and Parr.


 Tom Jenkins and Jim Parr, tho wrestlers, have practically agreed on all details for their proposed Amerl- can championship match, with the cx- ception of the club, and that will be settled Monday. Parr and MT Wceden of New York, who has been represent ing Jenkins in the details, had an- other consultation yesterday over tho proposed match. They had already agreed to the conditions, which are scubstantially Police Gazette rules, do- ing away with much of the pin fall idea and giving Parr what he believes will be a better opportunity for him to exercise his skill with his hands and feet against the heavier weight of the champion. When the question of ref cree came up, MT Weeden said that if the match was held in Buffalo, he had instructions from Harry Pollock, man. ager for Jenkins, not to take a Buffalo man, as some might believe a local man prejudiced by the fact that Parr lived there Still, Pollock has never raised an objection to McBride the l Buffalo referee, and may consent to 1 him if chosen at the end. However, for the present, at Mir Weeden's sug- gestion, the matter was left undecided, the official to be picked two days be- fore the match. It will not be known until Monday what place will get the match. Offers have been received from Waterbury, Montreal, Syracuse, Hamilton and New York, with two from Buffalo, the Olympic club through Harry Brown, and the Sixty-fifth reg iment A. A., it is understood. It is expected a decision will be arrived at tonight and Parr, having declared a preference for Buffalo, the match stands an excellent chance of going there. The men will wrestle best two ill three, and, win or lose, Parr says, he hopes his next opponent will be Dan Mcleod. Parr has returned from his trip to Montreal and from his, talk he has evidently started the French Canadians out of their belief that no white man could defeat Mcleod, wlic stood off Paul Pons and wrestled some of his best matches there.

BIG HORSE PURCHASE.
Barnum X Bailey Will Buy Three Hun

Barnum & Bailey Will Buy Three Hun
 dred Draft Horses.
 New York. Dec 11.-Fiss, Doerr x Carroll have contracted with the man. ager of Bafnum & Bailey's circus, which is to arrive in this country in q few days, for an entire new lot of horses for that combination. The management will bring to this country only it's menagerie and will expend over $1,000,000 in refitting.
 This contract calls for the delivery of 300 fancy draft horses, to be deliv- cred by the end of January, 1903.
 The animals ordered are to be abso- lutely sound and from 4 to z years old. In height they must be between six teen and seventeen hands and must weigh from 1 1,600 to 2,O00 pounds each. Fiss,. Doerr &S Carroll agree to deliver smooth, shapely animals, with deep, full middles. closely ribbed, on short legs and with good dispositions. As they must be shipped at night, after doing their days work. S335 is the con- tract price per head for this lot of horses, the total sum involved in this deal being $100.500.
 Larger contracts have been made for army horses and low grade workers, but it is doubtful whether any. firm ever received so heavy an order for strictly high grade horses of any type. The price can hardly be taken to repre- sent the average market value of fancy draft horses.

LORD DERBY vs MAJOR DELMAR
Two Trotters Likely to Come Together
 For a Big Side Bet.

Two Trotters Likely to Come Together
 For a Big Side Bet.
 Lord Derby, E. D. Smathers's crack trotter, and Major Delmar, owned by Alta B. Mcdonald of Albany, will probably be matched to meet next sea son for big side bet. When the at tention of George Spear, the well known horseman and driver, was called yesterday morning to McDonald's statement that he considered Major Delmar the peer of Lord Derby, Spear said:
 You may say for me that we will match Lord Derby against Major Del mar for any sum from $5,000 to $5O,- 900, best three heats in five, the race to take place on the grand circuit track which will offer the best inducements. This offer is open also to any other trotter We stand ready to post for felt at any time"
 This match. if consummated, is like ly to attract even more attention than the Lord Derby -Boralma match last season. Major Delmars record was lowered in one season from 2:15 to 2:05A, and Mcdonald expects him to do even better next season. Major Del mar is a fiye-year-old.

TOOK THE OTHER HORN.
Uncle Billy Had His Own Idea as to the Adyisability of Attending
 Camp Meeting.

ssWhile I was stopping for day or two with Uncle Billy White" quietly remarked our Southern Tramp, relates the Detroit Free Press, something was said about there being camp meeting in full swing at grove three miles away. I asked my host if he wasn't going down, and added that I'd like to accompany him. He thought over it for five minutes with his chin on his hand, and then shook his head and replied:
 "I don't skassly reckon I'll go.'
 "sYou are not interested, then?'
 ."sYes, I'm interested huff, but yo' see, I couldn't well go without takin' my dawg along. If went without him he'd think I used him kinder mean'
 .ssThen take him along
 "sI wouldn't dast dosit. Yo' see, know bout how it would work. There'd be a preacher a-preachin', and I'd want to git clus upto hear all he said. As soon as he got to telling bout Dan'l in the lions den I'd clean forgit that my old dawg was along
 .sBut he couldn't get lost l said
 'Noap, but he'd start off and pick fuss with another dawg. In two minits thar'd be ten of 'em rollin' over each other
 "'But your dog would take care of himself'
 "It ain't that, stranger-it ain't that said Uncle Billy, with a shake of the head. .Thar'd be ten men rush in to kick the dawgs belongin' to nine others, and I'd be one of 'em. Then out would come pistols and knives, and when the row was over thar wouldn't be folks huff left to hist one end of DanI halfway into the lions den if they wanted to ever so much. I'm Christian man, and I believe in camp-meetin's, but when you can't go without either hurtin' yo'r dawg's feelin's or reducin' the population, take it that critter better stay home and hunt woodchucks.'

THE SPECIAL ELECTION.

We regret that the Governors inter
FretatiOn OF the Organic Act Is such as
TO impel him TO a sense of the neces-
sity OF calling a special election to fill
the seat OF the late Mr.. GilflIan in the
legislature But as he has issued the
proclamation, all that remains is TO
consider the duty of the Republican
party In the premises.
The Advertiser sees no reason why
any Republican nominee should be
chosen The vacancy which exists. is
IN the ranks OF Legislature which. in
all probability. will never reassemble.
At the next general election the Leg
islature as il stands viii be superseded
II would be wiser to wait for a contest
IN which there are prizes to be gained
than 10 expend time and money in Il
battle for the emptiest of honors-a
phantom seat in a Legislature which
has no real existence
II there is going to be any foolisnness
81 mat kind let the Home Rulers com
nit It.

AS TO SANITATION.

There is no reflection on the Hawaii
an Board of Health in the proposal to
turn over the sanitation of Honolulu to
the federal government until this city,
which is now under threat of pesti-
lence, shall have been made clean.
Were the Federal authorities asked
tc turn over government funds to Ter
lftorial officials, even though the funds
accrued within the limits of the Terri
tory. they would refuse and our sani-
tary interests would thereby be COM
PEELED to meet serious de-
lay. If Washington undertakes
to clean Honolulu as it has
cleaned Havana and other cities, it will
not delegate the job. Its own men and
it's own resources will be employed. BY
asking for this purely federal service
we are doing the only practicable
thing; we cannot go further and seek
the administration OF United States
funds.
AS for the Hawaiian Board of Health
il will not be shelved in any event
There will be enough for it to do, both
here and on the other islands
The Advertiser is glad to see that
the Merchants Association has taken
up this all-important matter. and that
the Chamber OF Commerce will meet to
consider the propriety of following
suit

NEEDS OF THE Y. n. c. A.

In spite of the fact that Honolulu is
not so prosperous as 1t once was in the
matter OF ready money, there ought to
be no trouble about raising the $500
needed to acquit the Y. NJ. c. A. of
debt.
Repairs and improvements. including
changes in the sewer connections which
made an unlooked-for expense, have
put the association on the wrong side
of the ledger. By March 31st, the Y. NJ.
G. A. must have $500 in contributions.
To get that amount ii appeals with
confidence to the business community.
Why
Because for many years the Associa-
ton has been training up young men
TO enter business life with correct prin-
ciples; because it gives clerks and 9TH
er employees a place to go where the
Surroundings are manly and respecta-
BILE; because its influence is exerted for
the best citizenship. for industry. for
thrift and for the good habits that
make good health and useful men.
If this service is not worth more than
IL costs then the experience of Homo
lulu is different from that of other cit

MRS. FREAR'S THIRD
EMERSON LECTURE


Mrs. Walter Frear's third lecture on
Emerson was given yesterday after
noon at o'clock at the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association rooms, be-
fore a large and attentive audience,
her subject being Man in Relation to
Himself" Her address was replete
with selections from Emerson's works,
which she read at some length. The
lecture tended to show Emerson's own
relation to man and how he urged the
American nation to assert an individ-
uality of its own as nation, not cop
led from European standards, and to
give to the world an American litera-
ture. She quoted Emersons own esti-
mate of his relations with man, in
which he said, II like man, not men,
Mrs. Frear's next lecture will take
place next Friday afternoon, the SUBJ
ject being Man in Relation to So
ciety."
Those present at the lecture were:
Mrs. Bowen. Mrs. Ewing, Mrs. Wood,
Mrs. Kincaid, Mrs. Austin, Mrs. Mead,
Mrs. Axtell, Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Frasher,
Mrs. Damon. Mrs. Won Holt. Miss Bar

HOSPITAL FLOWER
SOCIETY MEETING

The twelfth annual meeting of the
Hospital Flower Society was held at :
o'clock yesterday afternoon in the
Young Mems Christian Association
parlors Mrs. E. w. Jordan presided
and there were also present Mrs. A. F.
Judd, vice president; Miss Won Holt
treasurer, and a number of others.
In the absence Of the secretary, Mrs.
Du Roi. Mrs. Judd read her report,
which showed that the work had been
carried on uninterruptedly throughout
the year. and flowers had been dfstrib-
uted by many ladies every week at the
Queen and Victoria Hospitals, besides
special distributions being made at
Easter and Thanksgiving time.
The treasurer's report showed the
finances to be in a fiourishing conci-
ton, owing to the gifts of friends and
the increment of members fees. After
various letters had been read and 9TH
er matters of business connected with
the society had been discussed, the
election of officers took place. The res
ignation of Mrs. Du Roi, the very
active and efficient secretary, was ac-
cepted with regret, and Mrs. Arthur
Wall was chosen to fill her place. Mrs.
Jordan was elected president, Mrs A.
F. Judd, vice president; Miss Won Holt,
treasurer, and E. w. Jordan auditor
A vote of thanks was given to all the
ladies' who have done the work for the
society in distributing flowers for the
year

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

The hour always brings the man. anC
sc the bell that rang in the American
revolution brought perhaps the only
man in the thirteen colonies who could
safely lead his scattered people through
a seven years war with the strongest
European power Franklin was not a
leader, but a philosopher; Patrick Hen
~ was a rhetorician; Thomas Jefferson
was Jacobite of many weaknesses;
John Adams was a starched and ruffied
prig and the soldiers who became the
major generals of the continental army
did not develop the greater qualities OF
leadership. In Washington's character
were combined those facts of temper
ament and training which fitted him to
fill the Office of communicating chief
with honor to himself and with triumph
to his cause; and at a later period to
undertake with complete efficiency the
tasks imposed by the Presidential Of
Those tasks were far from being of
routine or purely constructive charac-
ter. There was a time during the
eight years OF Washington's civil mag
istracy when he had to deal with a
crisis nearly as desperate as any that
he had met with during his military
campaigns. When the King of France
came to the aid OF the struggling col
onies. an offensive and defensive alIi-
ance had been made between the
French and the American rebels. This
treaty was not formally abrogated by
the United States and so, when the
Directory began its wars with England
the aid OF the young republic was re-
quired- For this purpose Citizen Genet
came to America. That he gained the
hearts Of the people made Washington
task of keeping the United States out
OF the entanglements of European poll
tics the more difficult. But Washington
held his ground against the almost uni
versal cry of his countrymen for a
second war with England and with
stood a storm Of execration which ap
pals even the most casual reader OF the |
polemical literature of that time. Had
Washington yielded. the infant Ameri |
can republic might have been bank |
rupted and despoiled. That he stood for
a neutral policy towards France en-
titles him to as much gratitude as does
anything he did in war.
His retirement from office at the end
OF eight years put a definite limit. as
i;e hoped it would. upon the Presiden-
tial term. The parting advice he gave.
although not fully applicable to the
l. nlted states To-Day, was the "lSesl
that could have been given then. FL
nally his example of returning to the
private citizenship from which he
sprang, after holding the highest offices
and wearing the richest laurels-an act
which had given Immortality to the
name OF great Roman-stamped him
as the natural leader of a true dem
1cracy. His fame, therefore. rests upon
an enduring basis.
