III a snort time ago a very peculiar post
once was used in Argylishire, Eng
land. 1t was situated In the lonely
hills between Drimmin and Barr. three
miles from any habitation, and con-
SISTED OF simple slit in rock, closed
up by nicely fitting stone
When any letters arrived at Drimmin
for the district of Barr they were con-
veyed to the rock by the first shepherd
or crofter going so far. Having been
dropped In and the slit reclosed, they
were left until a shepherd or crofter
from the otner side happened to come
along, when they were taken up and
delivered at their destination. No let
ter was ever known to be lost at this
primitive poStoffice. At Burra, Shet-
land, an old tin canister, made water
tight with newspapers and pitch, was
once picked UP on the shore. 1t con-
tanned ten letters, with the correct cash
postage. With these was also a letter
for the finder urgently requesting the
posting of the accompanying missives,
as they were important business COM
munications. After the letters had
been carefully dried they were at once
posted to their destinations, which
they reached without further adven-
ture.-New York Herald.

Torpedo boats will figure extensive

There will be a certain limit fixed
beyond which the ships must not go

a fort referee or umpire to decide
whether fort or ship wins.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE maneu-
vers to be held this month at this port
are to be on an unprecedented scale
and intended to demonstrate whether
or not the ships of the United States
navy, which can be present, will be
able to successfully attack the forts
and capture New York.
Everything in the way of strategy is
to be tried and the possibility of hos
tile fleet ever capturing the capital Of
the New World is to be thoroughly de-
monstrated.
Even the newspapers are to be rep
resented and New York scribes will
have chance to smell powder and
learn the etiquette of war correspond
ence.
The plan at present is to have the
North Atlantic squadron, which will
assemble for the occasion separated in
to two navies.
One of these will represent the enc
n1y's fleet, the other being detailed to
guard the coast and cooperate with
the land forces.
At least forteen hundred Of the naval
militia are expected to take part in
these naval maneuvers and, will in this
way obtain practical knowledge of their
actual duties which must prove of
great advantage to them. The con-
dngents will be drawn from the New
York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts
regiments. These men will be divided
up among the various ships and will
be given every opportunity to distin-
guish themselves aboard They viii
also be attached to sailor battaIions
sent ashore with field guns. These
landings will take place on the Con-
necticut and Maine coasts.
An Attempt to Elude.

squadron to elude the defensive SQUAD

conflict there will be no set rules by
which any vessel will be declared out
of action but the umpire will settle
each point upon its merits.
AS the ships approach each other
and near to firing distance there will
be first discharge of the big guns,
followed as they close IN on one an
other by the discharge of rapid fire
artillery. The lifnpires on each ship
will decide which shots would have told
most had they been IN acyuar warfare
and will thus say which had the adj
vantage. Upon the maneuvering Of
place from which the snors would be
tired will depend the points gained by
either ships.

READY FOR
CALICO BALL
DriIlshed DecOra.
ted for Tonight's
Event.

Everything is in readiness for the cal
leo ball which is to be given this evening
in the drillshed. The various committees
in charge of the affair met yesterday
morning and reported gratifying prog
ress. After the meeting the decorating
committee began its irksome task OF
| Transforming the rough interior of the
armory into a charming ballroom. Mrs.
| Arthur Wall is the chairman, and has
for her assistants Mrs. George Herbert,
Mrs. George Paris, Mrs. c. E. Golfer,
Mrs Carl Holloway, Mrs. Geo. Smithies.
Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Mays, Mrs. Charles
| Lane, Mrs. Noonan, Miss Bush Miss NJ.
| Mcintyre, Miss Belle Walker. During
the afternoon the ladies were busy ar
ranging long palm branches in designs
upon the walls, and in stringing flags
and signal bunting under the Orders.
| The arrangement of some of the flags
upon the walls has been done with excel
lent taste, and although the decorating
is but half completed, an excellent idea
is gained of what the ballroom will be
| this evening.
Flags have been secured from every
place known to them. DR.. Golfer, United
States quarantine officer, has very kindly
loaned a number of departmental flags.
| The ladies deplore the scarcity of Ha-
waiian flags, but they hope to secure
several today, as it is proposed to use
them near the platform upon which Cap
tain Berger's band will be stationed. The
| French tri-color will also be prominently
displayed, in honor of the cruiser Pro-
tet, now in the harbor. Upon the stage
will be placed an abundance of green's
and potted plants, which, together with
the arrangement of bunting, will give
that end of the hall a pretty floral eff

ball last year. The dancing to commence
at O'Clock. This evening only the main
entrance to the drillshed will be used
as the Miller street entrance is not now
available. The sale of tickets at 81 each
has been gratifying to the committee in
charge of this department, and a large
| and dressy attendance is anticipated.
| Many of the costumes for the ball are
! said to be quite fetching in their novel
makeup.
The following program of dances has
been arranged by Prof. Berger:
1. Waltz, Paradise of the Pacific.
q Two-step, Carnival.
s. Waltz, Sobre las Olos.
4. Schottische, Florodora.
5. Lancers, Old Acquaintance.
6. Waltz, Valse Bleu.
z. Polka, Runaway Girl.
s. Waltz, Vienna Blood.
9. Two-step. Whistling Rufus.
10. Waltz Waikiki Beach
II. Lancers, Madame Angot.
IL. Waltz, The Sirens.

IA. Waltz, Wandering Minstrels.
DR.. Grossman will be the floor manag
er, and the ushers are Fred Angus, John
Soper Frank Armstrong Lionel Hart,
S. Allen Walker and c. Arthur Mackin-
tosh.
The floor manager makes the sugges-
ton that while the guests are assembling
in the ballroom, informal promenade
for half-hour before the first waltz is
played, would be an excellent way in
which the costumes could be shown and
the mingling of those costumed would
give the best opportunity for making up
the programs.

VERY BUSY DAY

Judge Wilcox had the busiest time
yesterday morning that he has had for
"a month, over sixty cases occupying his
! attention in the District Court.
F. Smith, who was caught sleeping
| in a box car at the Oahu Railway de-
| pot on Monday night, was sent to the
| reef for two months.
Chun Sung, charged with vagrancy,
was sentenced to six months imprison-
ment. He was discovered on premises
! on Liliha street with three chickens in
his possession. Chun is the man who
had his arm shot off last year by an
Italian whose hen roost he was depict
ing.
Joe Rego, a Porto Rican, got four
months for vagrancy. Evidence show
ed that he has been assisting in the re-
cent pilfering of coal from the Oahu
Railway and Land Companys yards.
