The colored Mans Compliment.

Col. Prentiss Ingraham author of a
thousand novels, soldier in seven wars,
and gentleman of the old Southern
school, is lifted from the earth several
times day by a colored elevator
conductor who, like most of his race,
is very fond of elaborate language.
Recently an artist in the apartment
gave song recital, ana they darby
heard her sing.
well, James," said the Colonel to
the conductor the next morning, what
did you think of the singing last
night?"
II was assassinated wild 1t, Suh,"
he replied; "puffeckly assassinated,

Wiles of the Barber.

A bald-headed man sat in the bar
ber's chair and YEARLY listened to
the bald-headed barber, who urged
him to try hair tonic manufactured
on the premises.
1--WE guarantee 1t to sprout hair on
the baldest head" he babbled.
Then why don't you use 1t on your
OWN" demanded the customer.
Because the boss won't let me. He
wants me to leave my head alone, so
he can point me out as a before using
exhibit. My brother is the after
using man. He's not in just now, but
you ought to see his hair!" And the
barber winked at the other custom.

he unslung his carbine and loosened
his revolver in its holster. There
came into his eyes the CLEAN of battle
into his soul a thirst to do or die.
There was a hot gallop for a mile,
and then Private Jim found the officer
and the girl crouched behind a mass
of rock and a war party of fifty Utes
preparing to rush them. Both horses
had been shot down and the officer
wounded in the first volley, and the
trooper had only come up when the
lieutenant was hit again and fell in a
heap.

Jim as he bent toward the white faced
girl. who huddled agains. the rocks.
THE lieutenant is dead, and it's one
chance in thousand that we get out
of this. Give me your hand"
He lifted her up and swung her on
to the saddle in front of him, and the
bullets were cutting the air all about
them as they dashed away. In two
minutes they were out of range, but
another peril confronted them. A
dozen Utes had mounted and taken a
short cut, and Private Jim looked
ahead to find them drawn up across
the stage road running between high
banks.

girl he held in his arms. I'm an old
man. I'm to be mustered out because

The Indian ponies were massed, and
the Indians were firing at the horse
laundering down, but their bullets
missed and he struck the lighter
horses to whirl them around or send
them rolling. 1t was a smash--crash

Private Jim reeled in the saddle and

FAREWELL FOREVER
TO THE TRAM CARS

At nine o'clock this morning the ami
mails drawing the cars of the defunct
Hawaiian Tramways Co., will jog out
of the history of Honolulu, at least in
that capacity, and drag the antiquated
vehicles of passenger transit with them
into oblivion. Both may yet have an
honorable future The horses and mules
may be enlisted in the army's cavalry
or transportation service, else be en-
ployed in the peaceful industry OF ciyili
ans.
1t will be sixteen years on January I,
1904, or nine days hence, since the adj
vent of the Honolulu street car system
now long obsolete and just about to
vanish. With all its faults it was a
great public convenience until super
seeded by electrical rapid transit King
street line was first opened to traffic.
The construction of the Nuuanu and
Beretania street lines, long operated
separately, was great lEldi " lhO
patience of the community. 1t was only
some time in 1880 that the last rail
was laid on Beretania street. The writer
of these lines performed the ceremony
of fastening the last fishplate and pro-
nouncing the system complete, being ac-
corded this honor as the personal rep

nUlnUl TO MEET
FLEETS CHAMPION

The boxing program for Christmas
night has received star addition in
the shape of a contest between Jack
Ward, champion lightweight of the
fleet, and Bill Huihui, the local cham
pion, who defeated Latham twice and
put De Lyle out of business.
This contest will undoubtedly prove
most exciting. Ward is admittedly
clever and will, be fighting for the
honor of the fleet while Huihui, whose
thickness, pluck and ability to hit
hard have been most conclusively DEM
onstrated, will do his best to hold up
the Islands. Paddy Ryan of the
Brooklyn saloon, will referee this as
we'll as the other bouts.
Taking the program at large with
two main events the exhibition be-
tween Barry and Patton and Huihui
VS.. Ward, together with four other
first class and evenly matched con-
tests, seems the strongest yet offered
the Honolulu public.

A boxing contest has been arranged
for Christmas eve between Bill Huihui,

Cincinnati, who challenges any light
weight in the fleet. These men will
meet in a ten round contest for a de-
cision, for a purse of 5000, at the F'av-
orite Athletic Club, corner Hotel and
Bethel streets. Ressognal of the Ken
lucky, and Joe Castro, who recently
boxed a draw with Soldier Gelp of
Camp Mckinley, will also appear in a
six-round contest; there will be two
