POLO FOUR
NOT IN FORM
Much Work Yet to be
Done in Their
Practice.

When the polomen reach form and
are ready for their tournament contests
there will be played such a game as
promises to astonish the lovers OF the
sport. This is. forecast owing to the
fact that the men now in training show
above the average of interest and do
a great deal of work, and under the
skillful coaching of SEE. Damon, the
our is rapidly coming into shape to
meet all corners.
The rains have made it impossible TO
do much in the way OF work in the past
two weeks, but the men have had some
their horses all the time. There may
be some alterations in the matter of
the final line up, owing to h fact that
there seems a chance for some improve
ment in team play. This may be shown
by the fact that within two weeks spec
tators saw the captain of the White
team, without the assistance of one of
his men run the ball through the entire
Blue four. The three Whites moi in
play left the field and for the purpose
of showing the Blues that the team
was not up to form Coach Damon sent
the White captain against the entire
our from the center of the field. The
ball was sent through the right of the
four, the bunch failed to ride of, and
the return Of No. 3. Dillingham;. was
taken away from Dole and the goal
counted IN a half dozen strokes.
According to club mer the defensive
play must be improved and the team
work must be bettered. This may mean
that in the final makeup of the cham
pionship four there VIII be a change.
There is already some LII of sending
Potter up to No. 1 to divide play with
Judd, and placing Single at No. 2.
This change may be made. at the very
end, for the playing against Potter has
frightened the work of the White cap
tain. He is hitting with accuracy and
is riding in fast style.
The game this afternoon will mean
that the Blues play against a hard can
Of Whites. for four periods, of the
championship length. The line. up will
be as follows:
Blues Position Whites
Harold Castle l Judd
Potter 2 Single tCapt.)
Dillingham; (Capt.) 3 Dickey
Dole Atkinson
The field for the championship has
been laid out in different style from
that of last year. The goals will be
mauka and makai. The plans place the
makai goal close to the grand stand,
and the mauka goal where the score
board now stands. On either side the
carriages will be lined up according to
ticket and number. A breast high line
will run back of the side Inc for seat
ed spectators, chairs being provided by
a caterer at 10 cents. In the center on
each side a space will be reserved for
mounted onlookers. Hitching posts
will support another line behind which
the carriages will be lined up. The
usual gate into the ace TRACK infeld
will be closed up, and another opened

the first eighth pole.

FOOTBALL
SEASON ON
The Punahous VS.. Male
Opens the
Play.

When the Punahou and Male lima
football elevens line up this afternoon
at $50 o'clock on the Oahu campus for
the first game, there will be a crowd
which promises to open the season with
eeiat and to show an interest in the
sport which gives hope for the most
successful series of games ever played
here.
h first game is between the lightest
teams of the league and the spectators
will find themselves lined up against
d game in which the veterans at the
sport will nave to contend against the
newest players perhaps, but by hard
coaching there has been made out of
credit on Coach Benson. The Punahou
team, just as was expected, on the last
week began to show their form and
have in practice played k the vet
Grams they are.
The Males. are short one of their best
men in Allen, who was put out, and
they lost another candidate for the
cam, but withal they have at the least
a substitute for each position and this
will help themsf the game grows hard,
The Punahous have fewer men to put
into the places but they have the men
who have played the game so long that
hotter and to last the route better than
their opponents. With all the work
done by the Males there is a chance
that they will crack under the hot pace
set for them by the c~ollegians. and
that d heavy score may be made.
On form the Males could score
against the Funahous within the first
ave minutes of play. To those who
have watched both teams however if
this is lone there will be no more scor-
ing by the Zebras during the game.
III Punahous will disappoint their
friends If they dc not makesat~the least
two touchdowns, and some believe they
viii be able to make it four.
The teams are fairly alamo on the
line. Robinson and Chiffon AVE play
ed against each other before and the
Males man is supposed to nave a shade
the better OF the argument. Fuller
should have the best of Robertson and
Walker will have his hands full with
Jarrett, While Armstrong and Vida are
fairly matched. Iaukea is hardly in The
class with Sumner Ellis, if the latter
is in form, and Waterhouse and Wright
should have a lively tussle for the
honors at tackle on their side. Rich
ardsen is a good man but Anderson, the
new Punahou end, should handle him,
from his long and wider experience.
Back of the line Punahou is stronger
than the Maize and hould gain plenty
of ground whenever they try. They will
do little fumbling too and these condi-
lions should make them winners,
barring accidents of course.

The game will start al $3.50 O'clock
promptly. Charles Elston will be the
umpire and Coach Brooks of the Hoo
nolulu Athletic Club team will be the
referee. The linesmen will be chosen
on the field. There will be two twenty
minutes periods.
The Honolulus will be seen in the
game of Saturday next against the Pu-
nalous. This team is developing fast
and seems to be in shape now to make
the best stand ever made by a Homo
lulu Athletic eleven. The club will
next week elect Cunha captain of the
eleven. The crack man will be placed
at center and this will shove Hough-
failing over to tackle. the hard place
next him being played by Scott. the
change quarter, who has show such
fast work that he cannot be kept out
of the game. On either side of Cunha
viii be the Cocketts: Joy will hold
down the second tackle, with Chilling
worth on the other end.
Back of the line there is a great
quartet, Russell quarter, Antonino Long
and KaIninskx half places, and Blais-
dell full. The team had the benefit of

evening there was a turnout of al least
twenty-five men, all of whom got into
the play and yet could not hold the big
eleven. Coach Brooks is quite well
satisfied. There will be a great turn
out to see today's game. as the Homo
lulus want a line on their opponents.
Each club of the league will have two

Prince Alert by two lengths. AT the
quarter pole Sanders increased his lead
by three lengths and the timers hung
out 0:2SA for the quarter.
Making the TURF for home Sir Albert
S.. still in a commanding lead, broke
badly, and Prince Alert, coming along
like a piece of machinery, forged TO the
front and won by three lengths. Many
horsemen expressed the opinion that
had the California horse kept his feet
the result would have been different
and the time reduced at least a quarter
of a second. The former record for half
a mile was 1:OOA. held by Audubon Boy.

A TOWNS HEALTHY GROWTH.

What an Electric Road Has Done For Mid
dIetown, Md.
There is hardly another town of its
size in Western Maryland that has en-
ioyed such a steady and healthy
growth as has Middletown in the past
few years. Beginning with the advent
of the electric road, six years ago, the
spirit of progress took possession of
our people, and since then % new
dwellings have been erected in the
town, nearly all of them of handsome
and modern design, to say nothing of
the fine dwellings built on the eastern
outskirts of the town. Four of these
% dwellings are going up at the pres
ent time, and the twenty-fourth one
is being started. In addition to this
a handsome new chapel is now in
course of erection for the Reformed
church.
Situated in Frederick county, in
one of the most fertile and healthy
valleys in the world, surrounded by
scenery of unsurpassed beauty and
within less than three hours ride
from the capital of the nation, Middle
town already possesses many adyan-
tages that few towns of its size can
boast of. Our trolley road to the
county seat passes a delightful sum
mer resort on Catoctin Mountain only
three miles distant, and rapidly grow
ing in prominence. We have as fine
a water-works system as can be found
anywhere. Our churches are among
the largest and finest in the State,
our public schools are among the best
and our High School now affords two
teachers. We have one of the best
and most prosperous banks in the
State, prosperous fire insurance
company, an extensive creamery,
three coal and lumber yards, fine
large stores, marble yard we'll
managed hotel, two meat stores,
newspaper with the largest circula-
tion of any country weekly in the en-
tire State, and the usual other bust
ness places found in most towns.
Our needs, however, are better side
walks, a larger public hall, electric
lights, modern hotel building, drug
store, bakery, canning factory, etc
The Valley Register.
By all means let the electric street
car line between Oakland and Noun
tain Lake Park be built at once. 1t
means much for Oakland. 1t will
draw trade to our business houses, to
our banks and to our hotels. 1t would
be paying investment.

The absence of county bridge over
the Potomac River at Bloomington
for the accommodation of those travel
ing on foot, in which event they are
compelled to use the railroad bridge
in order to cross the river, has been
the means of the death of a large
number of persons who have been
killed by being struck by trains. The
number of deaths from this cause was
augmented last Friday when an un-
known white man was struck by east
bound passenger train No. 9 on the
West Virginia side of the river Just as
he had crossed the bridge The body
was taken in charge and buried by
the railway company.
1t is understood that a movement
is being made by the citizens of Bloom
ington and Mineral county to erect
bridge spanning the river at the above
point. If the bridge is built, and
there is no doubt that it should be,
the cost OF its erection will be borne
equally by the two counties. The es-
timated cost of the structure includ-
ing approaches, abutments and the
bridge proper is $4500

The COAL SUPPLY.
Inability To Secure the Necessary Article
Being Felt in Oakland.

Inability To Secure the Necessary Article
Being Felt in Oakland.
Even though Oakland is practically
surrounded by coal beds of varying
thicknesses and mines that are being
worked to their full capacity with ad-
ditiOnal openings being made as fast
as men and money can accomplish
that end, the coal supply in the town
is becoming exhausted and it is al
most impossible to replenish it owing
to the scarcity of horses and wagons
to haul the product from the mines.
Everyone burning coal is complain
ing and the problem is beginning to
assume a serious aspect.
Shippers of coal from distance
whose product has to be transported
by rail to Oakland are handicapped
also as the railroads either cannot or
will not furnish cars in which to ship
the coal
The Oakland Electric Company has
been unable for week past to secure
coal by rail and as a result two teams
are kept busy every day hauling slabs
from a mill situated at distance of
two miles or more west of town with
which to keep the fires under the
boilers going in order that the town
may be lighted and business not iu-
terfered with.
There is no doubt that the coal de-
posits surrounding Oakland are val
liable. If they are worked properly
and the means of transporting the
product are furnished the result
would be far reaching in its effects
and would put many dollars in circu-
lation right here at home which 9TH
erwise is sent away.
Coal production, since the timber
has been practically worked out,
seems to be the only thing of sub
stantial nature left to this section.
With sufficient capital interested in
its development the future of Oak
land and vicinity is assured. The
coal supply is practically inexhausti-
BILE and ready market can be found
at good price.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER ?, 1902.
PROSPERITY AS AN ISSUE.

1t is not astonishing that the Dem
Ocratic leaders have been unable to
interest the country in the so-called
issues upon which they are trying to
make the coming campaign. They
found out, as the last session of Con
gress came to a close, that the syn
dictate of vituperation" and the Bos-
ton junta has failed to create any
popular dissatisfaction with the sane
and humane Philippine policy of the
administration. Their signal failure
to come to the assistance of the Sena-
ators who were trying to secure reel
procity with Cuba made any criticism
of the party in power on that issue
out of the question and they turned
with despair to the trust and tariff
questions. The fact that they did
not do so before shows that they
realized the difficulty of attacking the
fiscal policy of the party under which
the present era of prosperity began.
There is world of truth i'll the bald
assertion that the issue of the day is
prosperity. The country looks for
better regulation of the trusts; there
is a growing sentiment in favor of a
reduction of certain duties, but there
is no inclination to ieopardize pros
perity.
The bank deposits of the country
show, in some measure, what this
prosperity had been. In 1893 they
amounted to $4, $50, 49O, 1876 and in 1897
to S., 1876, SAT, $50, a gain of $566, 357,-
374. In 1901 they amounted to $3.50,
053, 1876, gain of 50, 1873, 2O5, SOC. The
difference in the bank deposits of the
county at the beginning and end of
four years Republican adminlstra
ton was five times as great as it was
at the beginning and end of the pre-
ceding Democratic administration
Astute Democratic politicians must
have seen that they could not hope
to reduce, much less overcome, the
Republican Congressional majority
in the face of such figures. This &C
counts for the way in which they
have taken to the woods.

should be enameled on the service.
Then the hunt for samples began.
After several months Mr. Van Heu-
sen submitted 7S different and exclu-
sive designs. They ranged in price
from $4,000 to $4,000. Assisted by
her husband Mrs. Roosevelt finally
selected a simple colonial pattern in
gold, with the diverse of the great
seal enameled in color as the decora-
tive feature. This design will be ex-
clusively for the White House and
copyrighted.

Capt. Sim TsyIor's Summer Cottage Re
duced to Ashes.
Monday morning the first fire OF a
serious nature in the history of the
town visited Loeb Lynn Heights when
it destroyed the summer residence of
Capt. Sim Taylor situated on the Hill
overlooking the town and surround
ing country.
The structure was erected about six
years ago at a cost of $4,000 and was
arranged with an eye to comfort and
convenience. 1t was occupied during
the summer by tenants from Balti-
more, they having vacated the prem
ises but a few days ago when Mrs.
Taylor came to Loeb Lynn from her
home in Cumberland for the purpose
of overseeing the proper cleaning of
the house for the winter, and in doing
so a fire was kindled in one of the
stoves. 1t is presumed that the fiue
was defective and spark was emit
ted therefrom into the upper portion
of the house setting it on fire and be-
fore the flames were discovered they
had gained such Roadway as to rem
der the saving of the house impossi-
BILE. The furniture contained in the
lower story was saved, while that in
the upper rooms was entirely des-
troyed.

A WORKOUT ISSUE-

There is every possibility that the
Democratic party will gain less this
year from popular discomfort than in
the past, particularly six years ago,
when dissatisfaction among the peo-
pie with then prevailing conditions
was much more general than at pres
ent. There is undoubtedly an exag-
gerated idea as to the extent or dis
content among the working classes at
this time. We think there is no
doubt that very large majority of
them are well satisfied with constant
employment at much better wages
than they received five years ago. 1t
is true that the cost of living has in
creased, but except as to a few of the
necessaries it is now less than a year
ago. In any event, what does the
Democratic party offer that would
benefit the wage earners? The oyer
throw of protection, which that party
demands, every intelligent working
man knows would be disastrous to
labor. Grant that it would reduce
the cost of living it would at the same
time destroy the opportunity to earn
it. There is no promise for better
ment for wage earners in Democratic
success. That party's policy is hostile
to the interests and the welfare of the
Industrial classes and it is not to be
doubted that this is we'll understood
by all intelligent workingmen.

A CORRECTION.

In our account of the damage suits
brought by School Examiner Brown
ing against the editor of the Journal
in our last weeks issue we were in
error in stating that we had pre-
ponderance of testimony" to sustain
our charges against the Examiner.
We understand that this language
has been construed as an aggravation
of what has been declared by the
court as libel against the Examiner
Such was not our intention and we
regret that it should be so construed
and retract and disclaim any such in
tention as we are convinced that the
whole matter grew out of a ocular
remark made by the Examiner and
which had been told to us in very
different way.
