lieved from the Craftsmanship of the

proved to be discussion of the entire
canal question with liberal criticisms
of the president for his course. He
had not concluded when the senate
adjourned, and will proceed to-day.
Before adjournment the senate
unanimously agreed to vote on the
Cuban bill Dec. 16.

Forced to Cease Labors.

B four lines OF hose In the hands OF citi-
zens drowned out the telephone work
men yesterday. They retired igno-

age of the day to attempt to run It's
lines on Ashland avenue. The proper
ty owners protested to no avail. Then
they filled up the post holes and
threatened the workmen with violence.
The men persisted in the face of the
threats, so the citizens resorted to the
water cure, which was effectual.

TEACHING OF MORALS.
Educator Says Pupils Should Learn
 Humility and EruEaIItY.

Educator Says Pupils Should Learn
 Humility and Frugality.
 Professor M l.. Perrin of Boston uni versitys discussed the teaching of morals in the public schools before the Massachusetts Teachers association in Boston the other day. He maintained that the time had now arrived when the public schools must take up the matter. How to go to work in a cor rect way, Professor Perrin said, was a matter to be considered. The children should be taught to be good, but not that if they were good they would all grow up to be presidents. He added:
 "'We all know our virtues, but one of our weaknesses is lack of humility. That is a virtue much overlooked to- day. Parents cry out for success. Sue cess is everything, humility is forgot ten. Our fathers did chores, our sons refuse to and put the same energy into football. Our girls decline to do house. work Our young husbands must have their wives well dressed when they go to whist party. We have not the virtue of frugality. We should teach it. We are on the border of despotism, and the schools can cure it.''

PRINCE CuPlD's NEW NAME

President Roosevelt Calls HavaiiRn
 Delegate "'AIr. Kuhio."
 One of the most interesting figures i1 congress IS. the delegate from Hawaii, Prince Cupid, says the Atlanta Journal. His real name is Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniaaole. He acquired the title Cupid" while at school in San Fran cisco, and now he is to be officially called out of his name again because the president cannot pronounce his ap- pellation. He is to be known in official circles as MT. Kuhio. .---. ----- ---s
 MT. Kuhio is accompanied every where he goes by a secretary. He has also a personal secretary" and several other personages in his suit. He dresses well, wears bis straight black hair a Ia pompadour, and his fierce black mustache is forever waxed brilliantly. He is about six feet tall and has a fine physique, erect and ath- letic. Mr. Kuhio is light brown in col or and would be taken anywhere for a wealthy Mexican His fad is red neck ties--real flaming red of the most ag- gressive shade
 William Haywood, who was the last consul of the United States at Honolulu and who now represents the Planters association of Hawaii, recently called on the president to arrange for the presentation of the new delegate,
 T shall not call him Prince Cupid" :" MT. Roosevelt declared, "and I cannot pronounce his last name. I never would be able to remember it, anyhow. Can't we cut it off somewhere and make it simpler?"
 MT. Haywood conferred with Prince Cupid's advisers and after a lengthy debate MT. Kuhio was evolved from the troublesome cognonlen. MT. Hay wood returned to the White House with the abbreviated title, which proved acceptable to Mir. Roosevelt. Hereafter all invitations to the delegate from Hawaii will be addressed simply to MT. Kuhio.

 New York. Dec 1.--Ton Jenkins, the worlds wrestling champion. ar rived in town last night, and immedi- ately left for Middletown. Conn, where he has a match on. Jenkins will meet several wrestlers this week, and will then return to this city and go into training for a series of matches which will take place within the next two months.
 His manager has opened negotiations with Dan Mcleod for match, and if this is made the patrons of the sport will see a real championship battle. Mcleod defeated Jenkins for the title last Christmas at Worcester, Jenkins being forced to stop owing to an in- jury to his leg. They met again in Buffalo, the latter part of last March, and the Clevelander %gain secured the title. winning two straight falls. Mo Leod has since declared that he was not given sufficient time to train, and if afforded another opportunity he will show that he is the real champion.
 Jenkins has defeated the best men In the world at the grappling game, and in both of his matches with Mo- Leod he demonstrated that he is the Canadians superior at all stages.
 Jenkins manager states that if John ! Rooney, the Chicago Gripman, will agree to come to New York and wres- tie, he can have the match for the ask. ing. Rooney has a great record ln the west, and if he and the champion come to an agreement. a match equal | in every, way to the first stated will ! be seen. r-,,>' :
 Tn an interview with the champion he stated that if he was successful in defeating the American cracks he would journey to England and meet all corners.
 George Hackenschmidt, the Russian Giant, who has defeated the best men | on the continent, has issued a def tc | Jenkins, and a club in Berlin has made Jenkins an offer to meet him. .

CoRBETT IS FAvoR1TE.

San Francisco. Dec 1.--Bettlng on the Young Corbett-E Eddie Hanlon fight has started here with the champion the favorite over the local boy at to 2. at which price quite little money has been placed.
 Corbett regards the coming contest as the most important of his career, and as he has a high opinion of Han lon, he is training in a manner that IS a tribute to the punching power of his opponent. Though br1mtul ot con" f1dence that he willedefeat him, he win take no chances. and when Hanlon faces the little champion again he will meet a different boy.
 Corbett underestimated the Frisco lad the last time thev. met and did nor get into proper condition.
 George Gardner was defeated before Fitz beat him. He lost to Jimmy Handler, IS rounds, 1899: to Joe Wal colt, 20 rounds. 1901: and to Jack Johnson, 20 rounds. 1902.
 The middleweight championship Of Scotland now belongs to Pat McDon- ala, who for years has been the hold CT of the welterweight title of that country. He might come over here and try himself out. We haven't had a Scotch champion.
 Just think of little George Dixon coming to the front again. But he IS. Over in England his victory over his old foe, Pedlar Palmer, has been a big feather in his cap. He can secure all the backing he wants now, something which he lacked when he went to England about fifteen months ago. His latest match is with Joe Bouker, the English bantam champion. This con- test, which will be decided before the National Sporting club, London, on January 25, 1904. of course upsets all of Dixon's plans to return to the Unit ed States, which he intended doing.
