seemed that they must make the point,
but always that goal keeper was on the
spot and saved his side.
The tale was the same, too, in the
second half, until it came to just the
finish. Then, while every expert on
the ground thought that the game was
over, that the score would be nothing
to nothing, the ball went sailing out OF
bounds near the torpedo goal, and there
was a corner kick and a close scrim-
mage. Then the ball was seen to soar
over the torpedo goal keepers head,

CLEAN AND
PRETTY GAME
The Men From Cruiser Beat
Torpedo Lads at
Football.

They played for two long, not
halves, and only at the last of the seq
ond, when it looked as if it would be a
drawn game. did the Amphitrite sailors
win a goal.
And that, in BRIEF is the story Of
the association football game at Ma
kiki yesterday afternoon. But it was
about the warmest game that has ever
been seen in Honolulu. The tars of the
torpedo boat destroyers Virago and
Sparrowhawk had seen the Amphitrite
sailors play with Honolulu-and beat
them, too-and the big men from the
little boats conceived the notion that
they could do something at football
themselves. Why should they not?
Had they not, among them, held the
championship of Victoria station, once
upon a time at EsQuimalt? To be
sure they had not held it as team. But
some of the men had been on the team
that held it, and they were all men or

perhaps some of them the better play
ers-certainly their goal keeper was a
wonder-the Amphitrites had organlza-
ton and that splendid team play that
in their games with Honolulu always
found a man at the place where he was
needed to connect with the ball, and
that let no man get in another mans
way in the play. So it was science and
individual skill against organization
and team play.-and the two were sol
evenly matched that for long time
neither side could score. To be sure,

The game played at the Park yester-
day afternoon might well be labeled a
''no-match" game for the reason that
the winners scored such a distinct and
overwhelming victory over their i'm

team had delightfully."- modelled goose

! better for the government to conduct
things of quasi-public nature like the
conveyance of passengers on the
! streets, furnishing gas or electric light
| and power, and supplying water which
could only be done by using the public
avenues. At all events he said it
would be wrong to grant a long fran
chise which would be an incubus on
the coming generation. Also that to
insert a section requiring a specific tax
was not sufficient but that the public
should be protected against outrageous
charges. That towards the latter a law
that the corporation should not charge
individuals more than would produce
in the aggregate a definite percentage
on it's invested capital was the wisest
measure l fully concurred in all he
said. One day on coming away from
the house of our host, whom we dubbed
{ Col. Mazuma," one of my fellow mem
bers asked me how I was fixed for
money. 1 replied that my funds were
getting very low. He produced a hand
full of gold and proffered me fifty dol
/, lars to help me out, saying we would
get an extra session when could re-
turn it to him. 1 took the money as
1 really needed it.
In the course of a few days ne offered
me some more saying: The bill had
to go through any way and they might
as well pay of it. He did not say what
bill, but 1 had my suspicious and really
was not binding myself to assist the
passage of any bill.
However when a certain measure was
brought UP he asked me to assist, or
at least not to oppose it. The first
cowardly act 1 did was to absent my
self when the bill was up for considera-
ton. AS it happened, the bill was
tabled, and the following day when /
was present it was lifted from the ta-
bic and was railroaded through. I at

amendments but never felt weaker in

REMAINS OF MONSTER BIRD.
Part OF Argentine Republic
Larger Than the Dodo.

Brief informal ton of the discovery
in Patagonia, or rather, .of the south
ern part of the Argentine Republic,
of part Of the remains of an extinct
bird that, in size, outrivals any of the
forms known to science, either living
or extinct, has just reached the chief
ornithologist of the Smithsonian In
stitution, who regards the discovery
as one of the first Importance. The
details thus far received are to the
effect that a scientific party e1plor-
ing along the eastern foothills Of the
Andes range unearthed from the
strata of the tertiary age the skull OF
what they at first took to be gigan-
tic bird OF prey, but on subsequent
examination they unearthed other
parts that caused them to change
their first view and reach the conclu-
sion that the bird must. have been a
water fowl The size of this extinct
bird, which the discoverers named the
"phorarachis," is, according to the
reports. something amazing, it having
been at least a fourth larger than the
"dodo" of Madagascar, a bird now e1-
tinct, but which until the finding of
this Patagonian monster held first
place for size in the list Of birds hv-
ing and extinct. The government or
nithologists are anxiously awaiting
further details Of this interesting dis

y Morristown, n. j., dispatch says:
BicycliSts passing along the Hiberna-

ly saw a man sitting beside the road
holding three-foot squirming black
snake in his hands. Suddenly they
were horritied to see him lift the snake
to his mouth and take bite of it. This
he ate with apparent satisfaction and
then picked up handful of grass
which he also chewed vigorously: after
which he took another bite Of the rep
tile The authorities at Rockaway
were notified and the man was taken
into custody. When captured, only
the head of the snake remained. The
man gave his name as r. O. CRANKY.

dinner of snake and grass. Then he
went on to explain that he was a fol-
lower of Mrs Blavatsky and believed
in the theory Of rein-carnatioD. He
said he YVES the reincarnation
Of a hog, thus accounting for his fond
ness for snakes and grass. The man
said he distinctly remembered when
he was in the form Of a hog some

4 Beautiful Tribute.

Agree or disagree as you may with
William J. bryan on his political
tenetS, you cannot withhold admira-
lion for his wonderful eloquence and
word imagery. What is more beau
tiful than this: If Jesus had left
nothing but the parallels. His name
would have been imperishable in
literature: if He had beQueathed to
po>terity nothing but the simplicity
Of His speech and the irresistible lcgic
Of His argument, He would have a
permanent place among the orators
of the world: if He had given to the
world nothing but the commandment
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
SELF, enforced as it was by His own
example, this one gift would have
been sufficient to outweigh all the
wealth of the world; if He had left no
record but the Sermon on the Mount,
it would have made His natal day
worthy of the perpetual celebration
but all of these added to the match
less majesty OF a perfect life AND the
inspiring influence ri an all-pervading
love, are turning the eyes Of an ever
increasing number to the path He
trod from the manger to the cross.

thew Preston, a negro died at the
Lamar hospital after the most re-
markable exhibition Of vitality on re-
cord in this city. On March - he was
wounded by another negro in a crap
game in Hamburg. He was shot with
a pistol: the bullet entering his side,
penetrating his liver and perforating
his inteStineS in numerous places.
When brought to the hospital it was
thought that he would surely die in u
few hours. He was operated on and
operated on again and again, a portion
of his intestines removed and it was
believed that he would at last win this
fight for life, when he died:

Judge Gary, of the billion-dollar steel;

pretty pass whena man cannot build a.

trine preached in it as he likes. Judge
Gary built church in Wheaton, Ill.,.
at cost of $780, 900 which he named:
the Gary Memorial Methodist church,
in honor CT his parents. Besides paying
for the editce, he contributed 81, 200 a
year towards the salary Of the pastor,
and held membership in the congrega-
tion. Recently the pastor, Rev. Mr..
Flack, preached sermon in which he
denounced trusts and claSSed them
with labor agitators as being me-
mace to Americanism, in addition to.
saying other things not calculated to
tickle the ears Of trust mdgnate. To
show his disapproval, Judge Gary has
severed his connection with his own
church, and says he is done with

A Poor Excuse.

The Charleston Post says: Sena,
tor platt OF New York sticks his
head out Of his mcle burrow for
minute to squeak that the Democrats
are originally responsible for the post
office scandals, because several Of the
officials implicated in them were first
brought into the department. during
the administration OF President CleVe-
land, notable among them being the
chief Of all the rascals, A. W. Machen,
who was made some sort OF a clerk in
the department., from which he
mounted rapidly to place OF authorl-
ty and opportunity under the Re
publican administration which fol
lowed Cleveland. Even if it were
true that the scandal had it's start in
the Cleveland regime, Senator Platt's
charge is a confession that it has
taken the Republicans six years to get
on the trail Of it. What sort of ad-
ministration is tnat?" Senator Platt,
no doubt, thinks poor excuse is bet
ter than none, but his efforts to make
the renegade Democrats who voted
for Mckinley for the sake of office
the scapegoats for Republican racali-
ty won't do. In the first place Machen
and bis ilk ceased to be Democrats
when they voted for Mckinley, and
it is hardly the fair thing to class
them as Democrats when they are de-
tected helping the Republicans loot
the United States treasury. We are
not at all surprised at the outcome OF
Mact1en rascality He sold out for
pelf, and Senator Platt should not
blame him for trying to get his
share. But we must protest against
his being charged up to the Demo
cracy. He may be follower Of the
lamented Grover, but that does not
prove him a Democrat by any means.
