assassination of a President the result
of the America cup races, or of a great
battle in the squared circle. The enter
prise shown by The Star in signalling
news from incoming steamers before
the advent of the cable, has in a num-
Der of instances been as striking in a
small sphere, as any of the great feats
of Journalism which are the boast and
pride of the profession.
The enterprise of The Star, adapting
itself to new conditions is shown again
in the issue of a second edition each
day, made useful and necessary by the
advent of the Pacific Gable. The cable
puts us in touch with the events of the
world. But these because of the differ
ence of time and the fact that the ac-
tive world is to the east of us, happen
for the most part, while the day is yet
comparatively early with us, Yet why
the cable, if after the news of the world
is brought to us, publication is delayed?
The Star has ever held that news gains
nothing by being withheld. 1t publish
es its cable news promptly. Yet much
of our own day is still undeveloped.
Hence the second edition which has
been such an unqualified success from
the start. 1t contains all the news of
the world up to nearly midnight, of the
day of publication, in London, and 8
o'clock in New York, and to half past
three in Honolulu. 1t is the paper that
gives all of today's news today. 1t is
the paper that is delivered to the homes
of the city. 1t is complete and enter
prising newspaper.

A COMPLETE NEWSPAPER.

The Star inaugurates a system which
will enlist in its service a large number
of the brightest boys and girls of the
schools. Besides the liberal payment
for their services which they will re-
ceiVe, and the chance they will have,
in proportion to their effective activity
and industry, in the liberal prizes Of
fered, they Will gain experience along
practical lines of education. The Star
will be benefited by their efforts, and
through its increased circulation, the
community will be benefited For the
daily newspaper is one of the greatest
factors of modern life i'm the education
of the community, and the influence OF
the clean, enterprising, honest and
well edited daily newspaper is always
for good.
Such a paper The Star not only claims
to be, but is recognized to be. In the
development and improvement of the
newspapers of Hawaii, The Star has
had a leading part. How great the de-
velopment and Improvement has been
in the past decade a comparison of is
sues of then and now, will strilIingly
show. In all this development and i'm
provement, The Star has been the in
novator. 1t has led; others have fol-
lowed. With scarcely an exception eV-
cry feature of the present day papers of
this Territory which is recognized as an
improvement over old forms and meth

Kapiolani Park lace track will cease
to be such in two years from now
With the growth of the city and the in
crease Of population this was bound to
come. Kapiolani Park is the only
large recreation ground which we have.
The park committee is now doing all in
its power to improve the scenic beau
ties of the park. To have a boarded
race track in the midst of the estate is
incony enient and decidedly unsightly.
1t ought not to be difficult to get a
site for a new race track, and to fit it
up more in accordance with modern
ideas than is the present track. We
have a considerable sporting element,
and this ought to have a permanent
home, as it were. Moreover there is
no reason why there should not be
more frequent meetings.

other side can always have a hearing
through it's columns.
1t is complete newspaper giving all
the news of it's field In a straightfor-
ward, clear, unbiased way As for it's
field, it has lead all other papers of
this Territory in broadening the scope
of newspaper endeavor. This has been
stnkingly shown in several instances
where new discoveries of science, of
particular interest to these Islands
through their situation or adventitious
circumstances arising, have been first
published here in the columns of The
Star.
1t is well edited. The daily paper can
hardly hope ever to become the model
of style or literary form. Yet it ought
to attempt to eliminate the uncouth
and the slovenly in form and express
sion, and in approach to the ideal in
this respect there can be no doubt that
taken one day with another the year
through, The Star greatly surpasses all
of its contemporaries.
1t is enterprising. From the excit-
ing days just preceding the Spanish
war until the present time, there has
not been a single great piece of news
local or foreign, reaching here during
the hours of the day which are within
the province of an afternoon paper
which have not been given to the Ho-
nolulu public first by The Star. It's Sc

The Republican Central Committee
has put itself on record as against all
attempts to vitiate the County Act.
Governor Carter is of a similar opin-

his opinion that some who pretended
support of it were really anxious to
annul it,

1t is a bad thing to run up against
Federal authority. In former days if a
postmaster got away with public funds,
il was generally smoothed over by the
payment of the shortage. There is one
man at present on the island occupy

quite a little sum of postal money I'M
der the Republic. Had he been under
Federal authority he would have eXpi-
ated his fault working on the roads.

There is something going on in the
Orient. Japan is all fit for war, with
everything prepared and the second line

moment. The question is upon what

began at sea. Are we to hear of some
sudden attack following a sudden
declaration of war?

MEXICO MAKING STRIDES.
Our Southwestern NeiGhbor Is Rap- idly Taking On the Briskness
 of America.

Dr. Charles Amezcua, of the City ot Mexico, who is a gentleman of scien- tif1c attainments, told Washington reporter how much impressed he was with the beauty of Washington and with the surpassing beauty of its au. tumnal days.
 There is one thing" said he, 'that probably great many of your readers do not know, and that is how rapidly the republic of Mexico is becoming Americanized. Our people know of the tremendous progress of our great sis ter across the Rio Grande, and while they realize that there is yet an enor. nous gulf that separates the one from the other, still the United States is. an inspiration and an incentive. We re- joice in seeing the United States take precedence of the old-world monarch ies, and do not doubt it will eclipse them all.
 : With such an object lesson before us it is no wonder that Mexico is like wise making rapid strides along the road that leads to national greatness. The country is awake, wide awake, and everybody seems imbued with the idea of 8 glorious destiny. We are praying, also, that Gen. Diaz may have his life for at least ten more years, because he is really the one great fac tor in our advancement, and as long as he lives no one fears but that all will go well with our country"

INTERESTING IN THE LAKES.
How the Fresh Water Fish Are Cap. tured for the Markets of
 the Country.

Practically all commercial fishing in fresh waters is carried on by the use of nets, whether rowboat or an up- to-date tug is employed. The gill net is the handiest and is much used in Lake Erie. This forms fence on the bottom of the lake about six feet high and any, where from 800 feet to several miles long. These nets are made of thin cord and can be slowed away in very small compass, says the Buffalo Express. A fish will swim against the fence of net ting, get it's head caught in the mesh, and will stay there until taken out by the fishermen. The nets are kept in position in the water by lead sinloers on the bottom and cork bobs on top. The entire net is also anchored secure ! ly, while the spot is marked by a buoy. Gill nets often come in sections 300 feet long, and are fastened together in gangs. Fishing tugs often set gang that is over four miles long. Each boat is equipped with two gangs.
 Pound nets, whose use in New York waters is prohibited, are used in Ohio and Canadian waters. They form large receptacles in the water into which fish find their way and are prevented from getting out by trap-like ar rangement at the entrance. Game fish are often caught in pound nets. Then there are also smaller trap nets, fylse nets, and many other varieties, some of which are peculiar to different To- calities.
 Some commercial fishing is carried on by the use of set lines for surgeons, etc., but such means are not exten- sively employed.

GERMANY'S AIR BATHS.
A New Fad That Is Being Followed by the Fashionab1es of
 Berlin.

sAir baths'' are all the rage in fashionable Berlin just now. We all know what necessary factors light and air are for the mainte- nance of health. The. Berlin air baths have the great advantage ot being pleasant as we'll as healthy. and many of the society ladies ot the German capital have taken them up. The scenes now reproduced were photographed at the Berlin insti. tute, which started this open air idea, and which has already become famous both in Europe and Amer ica, says Golden Penny.
 Even the tiniest children are taken to these "baths," as we'll as young girls and more elderly ladies.
 The main object. of course, is to exercise both the muscles and the lungs at the same time, and the nondescript kind of bathing dress which is worn allows the ladies a delightful sense of freedom while practicing their gymnastic feats o1 playing at gardening in the grounds, It is scarcely necessary to add that the garden is kept as secluded as possible Surrounded by high walls, it is situated in a quiet locality just outside the city.

The hill is one solid mass of ice from the potoff1ce to the residence of George Demarest.s One double ripper. it is said, covered the length of the hill, which is said to be three-fifths of mile, in twenty-nine seconds. Another rip per while making the trip overturned near the bottom of the hill and the oc. cupants received some severe bruises.

hid h ae surgeons.

"Along the Caribbean sea-" said an artist who has recently returned from those parts, ''it is 8 common thing to see men and women and children sit- ting on the banks of streams with their bare legs soaking in the water. They have strange reason for this strange conduct. They are much troubled by little insect--a kind of ticl-which buries itself in their flesh, and is very hard to dislodge; and so, when the ticks have got in them they go to the water, bury the infected parts beneath the surface and keep quite still. The fish have fondness for ticks, and they hasten to the gleaming human flesh they see, and, pulling the ticks out, devour them. In that manner in the Caribs fish are called upon to act as surgeons. Effi- cient and painless surgeons they make. too"
