WANT "OPEN HOUSE
HEALANIS OBJECT TO A RECENT
ACTION.
Minority of Members Carried a Vote
Against Having Open House on Next
Regatta -ay.

Members of the Healani Boat Club
are discussing a meeting to reconsider
the action taken at the last meeting,
when a vote was carried to abolish the
open house" on regatta day There
were only a few members present at the
meeting when this action was taken
and a number of members oppose the
action, and would like to have had
chance to vote on it.
The open houses of the boat clubs
have been one of the desirable features
of regatta day, and there has been no
action by members of the Myrtle club
to keep any visitors away from their
club house. The gatherings of people
at the club houses to watch the races,
the music, dancing and social inter-
course, have afforded some of the best
features of the most successful regatta
days of the past and it is feared that
the Healani club will lose in popularity
and standing if it shuts up it's house eX-
Cept to invited guests.
The reason given for doing away with
the open house plan is that there have
been those present whose actions have
not been all that could be desired. On
the other hand, it is argued there has
never been anything particularly obJec-
tionable, and the proper way to pre-
serve proper deCorum is by proper rules.
The plan proposed by the few members
who voted down the open house was
to have invitations issued and to dis
tribute them quite freely among men,
bers, so that there could be very gen.
eral attendance of friends of the MEM
bers. This is objected to by the kickers
who say that the regatta day is one in
which the general public takes part,
and that the boat clubs, interested as
they are in keeping up the public in
terest in it, should do all in their power
to entertain on their great day. 1t is
also argued that if invitations are very
numerous they become meaningless.
1t is probable that the kickers will
bring the matter before the club again,
and endeavOr to have the action re-
Gently taken resCinded.

matter of the Cummings estate, but it
turned out to be a deed. Humphreys

Fisherman Friend of Ex-PresIdent
Cleveland who Las Been
Calling before.

Capt. Fitzgerald, Of Tampa, Fla, is
an Irish Yankee who went south to die
from consumption owe so years ago,
but, liking the climate so well, conclud-
ed to live and enjoy it. He was inti-
mately connected with the late H. B.
Plant in the %upbuilding Of Tampa and
the west coast of his adopted state,
says the New York Tribune, and has
enjoyed the friendship of many of tho
prominent men of the country. Pres
dent Cleveland, after the conclusion
of his first term, went to Tampa for
the fishing and 10 was captivated
by the captain. Many were the days
they passed together in a fishing boat,
and Mr.. Cleveland enjoyed the captain
so thoroughly that, upon leaving the
place, he cordially invited the captain
TO call on him when in New York, and
promised to make it pleasant for him.
But the captain said: '"No, Mr.. Pres
ident, 1 had one experience calling in
New York, and that's enough for me.
Years ago John Jacob Aston came here,
and 1 reckon he had a good time, for
when he went away he made me prom
Use to call on him the first time / was
in New York. When I did get there,
some months later, 1 set out to call
and walked up to Mr.. Astor's house,
but on arriving there 1 hesitated,
walked part way up the steps, then
my courage gave way and down I
came. I walked round the block try
ing to get my nerve up to ring the bell
you see, I wasn't sure twas the
proper time Of day to call, and all that
and after I had tried three times to
get to the top of those steps and re-
treated three times and trotted round
the block three times, I pulled myself
up short and said; Here goes-no
more nonsense And just as I got my
foot on the step determined to go in
this time, Mr.. Astor's private deteC-
tive grabbed me by the collar and after
yankng me about 3 bit, said:
"tGit out Of here, you old lunatiO.
I've been watching you for half an hOuT.
now git out and got.

Capt Fitzgerald, Il reckon Il Twas to

In a little tumble down log cabin
sqautting at the foot Of a hill In the

sold Uncle Bailey" Besides age and

extreme wilderness of his kinky hair.
He s. also extremely poor, but be dis.

stances over which be, of course, had
no control, relates the St. Louis Re-
public.
One Of these circumstances was whis.
ky-ac circumstances which stll figures
largely in his hfA. There have always
been just two things worrying Uncle
Bailey-the next meal and the next
drink. In his more prosperous days
he got the drink by the barrel Every
fan, no matter II "th' ole oman" had
only half q dress and eth chiilun" none
at ell, he invested hts earnings Of the
GUNNER IN a barrel Of Whisky, and the
old woman didn't object, as a rule, AZ
though she had good grounds. The
whisky was purchased at = little eouns
try store some 10 miles from Uncle
Bailey's little "fo-akur patch" and
hauled home in 9 OGrt pulled by a one
cared mule Of unknown age.
One October afternoon a. Uncle Bal
ley was coming home with the winter
barrel a deplorabls thing happened.
he was feeling unusually good, and, az
was his custom when living in hope,
VAS singing down in de Valley" al
the top Of his voice, leaving the mule
TO follow its own course. The mule,
ambling from first one side 10 the
other of the road, in search Of tender
twigs to nibbls, guided the cart out Of
the track and over q high stump.
At the top notes of the chorus Uncle
Bailey was dumped of the seat board
and the barrel was dumped OYer the
= of the cart bed. It's weight caused
Il to burst when II struck the clay
road, and the hard-earned hquor-rep-

coon skins and bags Of perSimmons-
wal soon gushing down the rut TO a
small ravine. Uncle Bailey sat for a
moment dazed; then he arose to make
the best of the situation. He ran down
the ravine about 20 yards, and, lying
down on his stomach, waited the COM
ing Of the whisky. As the advance tide
rushed under his face his thick lips
opened a deep furrow in II as he began
TO drink.
When the old mule and the cart, min
us Uncle Bailey and the expected bar
rel, were found in the clearing next
morning, one Of the "chillun" ran for
the nearest neighbor and a search was
instituted. Uncle Bailey was found
lying on his stomach, paralyzed. After
much rubbing and shaking he was par
TALLY revived, and related the case as
follows:

Never let yourself hate a man %
badly that you won't buy q bargain Of
him II he has one TO sell.
Never send your money away from
your own town II you al get goods
as cheap ct home. Remember that
the money you pay to other towns
will never come back to you.
Never waste a day worth at least
two dollars to any energetic farmer
to make % cents on q batch of pro-
duce, especially when the chances are
good that you will take less for It than
you can get ct home.
Don't tell your local dealer about
the fabulOusly low prices you can get
things for In other towns, for when
you quote prices below the wholesale
cost he is liable to think yon handle
the truth recklessly.
Remember that your home mer.

that unless you patronize them they

The English "Society for the Pre-
vention Of Consumption" presided
over by the Prince of Wales was re-
Gently addressed by Sir William
BrOadbent, who stated that it was
definitely known that every case of
consumption began with a germ com
municated from some other case.
There is no such thing as inherited
consumption. There may be local
weakness which tends to consump
ton, but the germ has absolutely to
be planted in that weak spot before
consumption can ensue. This ought
to comfort thousands of people who
have "Weak chests" or "Weak lungs"
They are not foreordained victims Of
this dread disease. All that Is needed
to bid absolute defiance to this deadly
scourge Is to be able to strengthen
the weak lungs, and build up q strong
body. The answer to this need fs
found In DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 10 90 purihes the blood
and increases the blood supply, that
disease is thrown off, and the weak
organs are nourished into perfect
health, which defes germs Of every
kind. People, given up by doctors,
emaciated, bleeding ct the lungs, with
obstinate lingering coughs, are being
cured every day by the use Of stGOl-
den Medical Discovery" It Is a
strictly temperance medicine contain
ing no alcohol, whisky or other i'm
~toxicant.
