.SHREWSBURY'S SHOW Celebrates 5ooth Anniversary of a
 Famous Battle.
Affair Will He Unique and Worth "GOlng Miles to See''-Festivities Will Re OR Historical and
 Antiquarian Interest.

The ancient town of Shrewsbury will this summer celebpate the five hun dredth anniversary of one of the de- cisive battles of English history. All England is interested in the affair ana a host of Americans will cross the ocean to join in the festivities. The unpleasantness which is to be so pleas- antly commemorated eliminated July 21, 1403, when in a field near Shrewsbury the rebel house of Percy, in the person of Henry Hotspur, was finally overthrown by Prince Hal. Harry Percy, known to fame as "Hotspur," was, as Shakes peare puts it, Ca very valiant rebel of the name" He led one of the most troublesome of the many uprisings of the barons against the ruling house of Lancaster.
 The celebration as planned will be rather more scholarly and antiqua- rian than is usual in civic doings of this kind. It will open with cycle of the Shakespearean history dramas, ''Rich- ard IT., "Henry w" and the Merry Wives of Windsor" to be played in 8 good up-to-date theater. It is prom ised that the productions will bel as fine archaeologically and dramatical- ly as those the public has been taught to expect from Irving and from Mans field.
 In the course of the festivities there will be a revival of the sports and games of the days of brave Prince Hal and Falstaff and his boon companions. There will be bouts with the quarter staff, such as one reads oflin the tales of Robin Hood-a strenuous sport, in which scalp wounds must be inflicted before decision is reached; tilting at the ring, of which one sees a modern survival in the Coney Island merry-go- rounds; hobby horse races, morris dances and Maypole-all the sports, in fact, that were part of a market festival in once Merry England.
 This battle of July 21, 14o3, though it saw the fall of one great house and

Bowser was not in sight. He stalked through the sitting room to demand of her why two gas jets were blazing away and sending him to the poor house, but she was not there. Such a thing had not happened within five years, and it demanded instant invese tigation. He descended to the dining room, prepared to express himself in fitting language, but other surprises awaited him. The table was not set for dinner, and as he passed out into the kitchen he found nothing cooked and the fire almost out.
 Strange times had come to the house of Bowser. The lord and master was being defied in his own house. Mr. Bowser's jaw set and his eyes blazed as he made his way upstairs to the family bedroom. There he found Mrs. Bowser in bed with her head tied up. She smiled wanly at sight of him and said:
 'I'm sorry, dear. but it is not my fault. The cook went out after gin after you left this morning, and she was so drunk before noon that had

PRESIDENT IN OMAHA.

Fifty Thousand People Flock to See
 Roosevelt.
 OMAHA, Neu., Apl1l 2S.-Ten thou sand people were gathered at the Coli seum to hear President Roosevelt.
 The day was trying one for the en- lire party, the wind blowing the entire day, and at Lincoln q smart rainstorm greeted the president on his arrival. The dust and sand which blew across the prairies added another unpleasant feature of the journey, which was of circuitous route. Fairmont and Crete received short stops, and the train ar rived at Lincoln at 1 o'clock. After brief stops at Wahoo and Fremont the journey was not again interrupted un- til Omaha was reached at~5:15 o'clock.
 Much preparation had been made in this city for the presidents coming, and he was greeted by probably 5O,0O0 people, who lined the streets on both sides for a mile and half along the route of the carriage drive. Elaborate decorations of bunting and flags were hung from every building, and from ev- cry flagstaff in the city Old Glory float C0 RAOuAAJs AL LAC OhAOA SldIlOu lhC great western arch was festooned with bunting, which surrounded an immense painting of the president Another painting, framed in the national trf- colors, was placed over the carriage way through which the presidents party passed. At the entrance to the train shed was hung a banner of wei come. The reception committee, which met the president, was composed of the board of governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, with Senators Willard and Dietrich, Governor Mickey, Con gressman Hitchcock, ex-Congressman Mercer, Mayor Moores and General Manderson.
 The military escort was a large one, headed by a platoon of police. It was composed of the Thurston rifles, Oma- ha guards, Willard rifles, South Omaha troop of cavalry and six companies of the High school cadets. The drive through the city lasted half an hour. The entire distance was lined with thousands of people, who gave the president most hearty welcome. The drive ended at the Omaha club, where banquet was given to the presidential party.
 After the banquet at the club the president and his party were escorted to the Coliseum. Thousands again turned out to cheer the president and catch glimpse of his face. When he reached the big auditorium, it was crowded to its capacity. The building was elaborately decorated with na- tional flags and colors. When the pres ident and his party entered, q band struck up Hail to the Chief" and he was accorded q trenendous ovatioh>

DANGER or COLDS AND GRIP.

The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ta- ken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is certain pre- yentive of that dangerous disease. It will cure cold or an attack of the grip in less time than any other treat Sfnent. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

Beef should Not Be Him,.

WASHINGTON April 2s.-rhat there ia no foundation whatever for the sta tement of the beef packers that the recent rise in the price of beef is due to a scarcity of cattle was shown by an Investigation in the agricultural de partment 'grhere is no shortage of cattle in the country" said Assistant Secretary Brigham, land so far as in- dications point there is not likely to be. The conditions in the west are fa- vorable and have been for some time. So far as the Investigations of the agri. cultural department go there is no req son for the recent advance in the price Of beef. The price at present charged by wholesalers and retailers is alto gether out of proportion to the supply Of cattle.

the firm establishment of another on the English throne, is mere incident in Shrewsbury's long and strenuous career, for under one name or another it has existed for close upon 2,000 years. When Caesars legions came to Britain they found, about 30 miles from Chester (the modern form of casta- a camp, being the site of the Roman encampment), village on the River Severn, on the Welsh border, known to the, natives as Pengwerne. This made Pengwerne a seat of power un- der the name of Uriconium. And the Roman ruins are to this day one o1 the historic sights of Shrewsbury.
 After the decline of Roman power 1t became the seat of the na tive prince ly family of Fowls, and was known by their name. Then the Saxons took it and made it one of their outposts against the Britons, remaining it Scrobbesbyrig, whence through such variants as Sloppesbury and Salop it's present name, Shrewsb bury. It became one of the principal cities of the Sax on realm, and King Athelstan estab- hshed his mint there in 925. William the Conqueror bestowed it and the country around it on Roger de Mont gomery and made him earl of Shrews- bury, and he on the site of the old Sax on fort build him strong castle There stands now the ruin of Haugha- mond abbey, built in the eleventh cen tury by the Normans, and it's five round arch testifies.
 Edward l., the original prince of Wales, held his first parliament as king in Shrewsbury, making it for the first time the capital of England. In Shrewsbury Henry VII. was crowned king and in Shrewsbury still stands the ancient dwelling, now occupied as fishmonger's shop, where as the earl of Richmond he slept a night on his march to Bosworth field.
 There are many old-time buildings to be seen there in spite of the towns tumultuous history
 The town ramparts, built by Henry III, remain in part. One portion is used as public walk and on it stands a square embattled tower. The fine market-house, finished in 1895, con tains still older portions. The market place is still known by its Saxon name of Cornchepynge. An old street is named Dogpole street to this day from some hoary joke about it's original nar- rowness, and the fact that the upper stories overhung the street. Dogpole being a corruption of Duck Poll, which was necessary adm ondtion o the way farer in the narrow tunnel-like street.

ALAMEDA WILL
BRING SUPPLIES

The Alameda as well as the transport
Solace will bring supplies for the fleet.
Admiral Evans yesterday received
cablegrarn from the Navy Department
saying that supplies had been ship
ped on both the transport and the
Oceanic liner, which would reach Ho-
Honolulu Christmas day.
The Alameda may get in next Thurs
day night unless the plans made when
she was here last week have been
changed. 1t was then Captain Dow
dell's intention to sail ahead of time,
on Friday evening, and push the
steamer as much as possible in order
to arrive on the day before Christmas
Whether the plans have been changed
because Of the shipment of supplies by
her is not known.
The Solace is to sail from San Fran
cisco tomorrow and will also try to
make a quick trip to Honolulu. She
is to go on through to Guam and
Cavite but will transfer her supplies
to the vessels of the fleet here. She
will also have crews aboard to relieve
those on the Wilmington and also the

CHINESE WILL BE-
ABLE TO LAND

J. F. Brown, in charge of the I'm
migration station here, yesterday re-
ceiyed cabled adeices from Washing
ton asking him to extend every as
sistance, not inconsistent with the i'm
migration laws, in order that the Chi
nese on the Asiatic fleet might be per-
mitted to land.
Nearly all the cooks and stewards of
the vessels of the fleet are Chinese and
it was found impossible to secure pro-
visions yesterday for the ships.
Cable messages were sent to Wash
ington by Admiral Evans asking for
relief, the immigration officials also
communicating with Secretary Cortel-
you of the Department of Labor and
Commerce. AS a result cablegram
came yesterday which will allow the
Chinese to come ashore under certain
restrictions An none of the Chinese
are registered great care will have to
be taken in order not to permit their
escape. The immigration officials
called on the flagship yesterday after
noon but Admiral Evans was not on
board, and another conference has been
arranged for this morning. The Chi
nese are to be permitted to land pro-
vided the naval officers become re-
sponsible for them.

SPORT CARNIVAL
FOR THE FLEET

A carnival Of sports, the like of
which has never been witnessed in
Honolulu before, was arranged for the
sailors of the fleet at three meetings
held yesterday.
In the morning at ten o'clock meet
ing was held at the naval station,
which was attended by representatives
from each ship and also by the local
sports committees A general pro-
gram consisting of two baseball games
for Sunday, December Goth, two foot
ball games Christmas day, and Re-
gatta Day Saturday, December 26th,
was decided upon.
At two o'clock the navy men held an
other meeting on board the Cincinnati
at which the program flor the regatta
was arranged.
Lieutenant Wood reported the ar
rangements at the meeting of the local
general committee which was held last
evening at the Hawaiian Hotel.
At this meeting the complete pro-
gram for the three days sports was
arranged.
The two baseball games next Sunday
will be between picked teams from the
fleet and picked teams from among the
best players in the league. Captain
White of the Males is now signing
men for both games. One game will
be called at 1870 o'clock and the second
game at $3.50 o'clock The games will
be played at the baseball grounds.
The football games are scheduled

some of the other vessels, but as
rule the men aboard the warships are
satisfied to remain. The term of en-
listment of none of the men expires
while in port, and they will have to
make the trip to the Orient again,
something which the short time men
don't like. After the men are once
paid off closer watch than ever will
be kept for there is no doubt but what
the fleet will leave some of its men in
port when it sails away. There is a
standing offer Of ten dollars for each
naval deserter brought back and the
police expect to reap rich harvest
while the squadron is in port.
