Argument Against War.l

Peace leagues and societies for the
prevention Of war may be able to use
an argument which Current Literature
says was advanced by pupil In pri-
mary school in the Southwest.
At the beginning n the war with
Spain the teacher told the class some
thing about the circumstances, and
asked all who favored the war to hold
up their hands. Up went every hand
but Jacks.
"Well, Jack. why are you opposed to
the war" asked the teacher.
"'Cause Miss Sophie, war makes his
tory, an there's more now n can ever
learn"

Fashionable Chairs, Perhaps.

Squire Hanson's language seldom
lacked vigor, but was often wanting in
strict accuracy and sometimes in con.
sistency.
"I've been over to talk with Alvira
Pond about selling that corner lot"
he said one day to his wife, his ruddy
face mottled with purple from some
recent exertion, "and I'll never enter
her parlor again, never! Not chair
in the room but what is impossible to
sit down in, out Of the question to get
up from, and leaves you with such a
cramp you can't move hand nor foot

Some Historic Erasures.
Captain, later General, Meigs was
very proud Of this engineering feat,
and always jealously regarded the
work as being entirely his own. The
erasures on one of the tablets Of the
bridge bear witness to his wrath when,
on returning from Tortugas, he dis
covered that Capt. Henry w. Benham
and Lieut.. ]. st. G. Morton, who had
charge of the work during his absence,
had caused their names to be inscribed
on the bridge as chief engineers Of con-
struction. In addition to removing
these names Capt. Meigs was success
full in having Capt. Benham ordered to
duty at Tortugas.
1t had been Capt. Meigs' intention,
however, to have inscribed beneath his
own the name Of Mr.. Rives, and the
letters had already been traced in red
chalk or paint when he received the
news Of Mr.. Rives' resignation and en-
listment in the Confederate army. mo
rebels name shall appear on Wy
bridge" said Capt. Meigs. The stone
cutters orders were countermanded,
the red letters disappeared. and In
their place were cut the words, "Esto
Perpetua," which Capt. Melgs intend
ed should express the hope that the
bridge would outlast the memory of
the youth who had deserted it..
Mr.. Rives, now nearly 20 years of
age, resides at Castle Hill," his fine
old estate, near Charlottesville, Va. He
was superintendent Of construction of
the Panama Railroad and is still prom
inently connected with the Richmond
and Danville Railroad. He has three
beautiful daughters, one of whom is
known in literary circles as Amelie
Rives and in society as the Princess
| Troubetzkoi.
Another and still more widely known
erasure was attributed, until recent
years, to Gen. Meigs. This was the
obliteration, in June, 1862, of the name
Of Jefferson Davis from the largest
tablet of the bridge. The tablet was

Early in the eighteenth century
pilgrim appeared In what is now
known as Montgomery County, Mary
land. He built for himself hut on
the margin Of creek which empties
into the Potomac river, seven miles
above Georgetown. The Revolution

Of the hermit became bowed with
years, and his shaggy dark locks turn
ed gray. During these years he had
been a hunter and fisher. his only
clothing the skins of beasts, and two
hunting dogs his only companions. He
sought no intercourse with the few
human beings who, straying from the
much-tra veled river road" occasion
ally drifted into his lonely glen; but,
to the kindly disposed and the curious,
his manners were ever those of a
gentleman. He had a strong, beauti-
full voice, in which he sang sweet but
sad verses Of his own composition, ac-
companying himself on banjo, or
mandolin, constructed Of rude mate
rails by his own hands. Toward the
close Of the last century he disappear

The hermit had been known on the
Potomac as John of the Cabin" and
the little stream by which stood his
tiny home is still called "Cabin John
Creek" The ravine through which 1t
lows Is now spanned by bridge
which for over forty years has figured
in our national history, and bears the
added distinction Of being the longest
single arch stone bridge In the world.
Work of Jefferson Davis.
Early in Pierce's administration JEFF
fersOn Davis, then Secretary of War,
directed Capt Montgomery G. Meigs,
United States Corps of Engineers, to
span the ravine and the creek with a
conduit bridge, to convey to the rapid
ly growing city of Washington its wat
er supply, from the reservoir at Great
Falls, sixteen miles above the city.
In November, 1852, Capt. Meigs had
begun the work Of designing and con-
structing the Potomac aqueduct. This,
together with the duties of superin-
tending the building Of the new wings
Of the general postoffice, and the COM
pletion of Fort Madison, at Annapolis,
occupied his time so fully that work
on the bridge was not begun until
1857. 1t was well under way when,
in July, 1860, he was detailed to duty
at Fort Jefferson, Tortugas, Florida.

Supervisors Chosen.

The Home Rulers yesterday nomi-
mated their candidates for Fourth
and Fifth district supervisors and
for county treasurer. j K Kesloha
and S X Mahoe (the man with that
Molokai reputation were selected to
represent the Fifth. In the Fourth
there were several nominees and
consequently balloting had to be
resorted TO. The nominees we're:
David Motley, Sam Kamakaia, Q j
MCCARTHY, John Wise, A Hooking
and j A Gilman, The latter two we're
ruled not eligible to run, both being
Republican nominees.
For treasurer Q w Booth and S E
Damon we're nominated, but the lat
ter was ruled out on the same
ground az was Hooking and Gilman.
Booth was declared elected. There
was quite a little feeling between
factions in the contention, Mrs
Wilcox making fight from her

Opinions of Fight.

Sports of Honolulu are greatly
worked up over the fight between
Joe MiileIt and big Gus Rubin.
Paddy Ryan, Millett's old friend and
manager, feels confident that the
young man will win. 81 believe
Millett will defeat Ruhlin," said Mr.
Ryan. There is one thing certain:
II he ever hits him a good blow it
will be- all off, and / bellevs Millett
will be able to do that. Rubin is
not only six years older than Millett
but he has led rough life OF late
which will probably show its effects
However, Ruhlin is big game in the
prize ring and Millett will have all he
can do to handle him."
Jack Weday holds just the OPP
posite view, He thinks Millett is
still too ssppy to run up against a
tough slugger like Rubin. He says
the Ohioan is not only clever and
quick, but is as tough as leather and
hits a terrific blow. 81 am glad,
however" says Weday, "thst Millett
has got a match with Rubin.
Should he win, it will place him at
once in the front rank. of fighters
aud he will have more challenges
than he will know what to do with.
l would like to have the chance OF a
try at Rubin myself"
Billy Woods is surprised that
Rubin will fight Millett, but thinks
the Californian will make it more
interesting for the Ohio giant than
the latter now thinks.
There is no money up in Honolulu
yet on the fight but as veports OF
training begin to come in there will
! likely be plenty OF it,
