CHAMPION EATER DIES
Eats Eighty-five Pounds Of Raw
Beef on a Wager and the
End Is Rgonizing.
GoRGES FOR NINETEEN HOURS

Phil Melloy, Of Wonderful castrononnio
Capabilities, After Slowing Away the
Immense Mass Of Meat Topped of
With Three Cans Of Salmon and -Four
Pies-Some Previous Performances.
Dubuque, Ia, Oct 1S.-HIs stomach
dlstended to three times its normal size
after he had eaten elghty-nve pounds
of raw beef Phil Melloy, who posed as
the worlds champion eater, died in ter
rible agony here. He was found dead
on the floor of his bedroom by his
wife, with his hand on his stomach,
and his face distorted as IL intense
suffering had preceded death. An au-
topsy was performed by six doctors,
and they found the walls of the stom-
ach literally permeated by the juices
Of the meat.
A week ago Melloy issued a chal-
lenge TO any man I'm the world to eat
against him for a wager Of $500. He
was intensely proud Of his gastronomic
feats, and 1t was the taunting Of doz-
en- youths that drove him to death. On
Sunday afternoon Melloy met the
youths I'm a resort in the heart Of the
city. Talk turned TO his wonderful per
formances In eating and Melloy bOast-
ed he could eat eighty-fve pounds Of
beef In twenty hours. One of the
young men in the party then offered to
bet Mclloy 500 that he could not eat
the amount. Mclloy hesitated in ac-
ceptlng the bet and was laughed az for
a "quitter" He was called "fal1ir" and
-four flusher" and was told that any
one in the party could equal him at
eating when at his best.
Locked Up With His Meat.
Unable to bear the derision. Melloy
finally said he would make the bet.
The money was stalSed, and fresh beef
was obtained from a packing house.
Two doctors pronounced II OF excellent
quality, and Melloy was locked with it
in room. A guard was placed over
the room. and at the end of nineteen
hours Melloy knocked to be released.
The door was opened. and only few
small bones were found in the room.
Ordinarily Melloy was trim I'm figure,
but he came cut Of the room bloated.
So elated was he with his prodlglous
capacity that he went to a restaurant
ana ate three large cans Of salmon and
four apple pies.
Melloy was hardly able to walk
home. He gave his wife the 500 he
had won and then staggered to his
room. -Four hours later Mrs Melloy
found his body growing cold. He had
apparently slipped from the bed to the
floor. His head was slightly lnwer than
his body, and some Of the beef which
had got into his throat prevented him
from making an outcry.
Two weeks ago Melloy ate 1SO raw
eggs in twenty minutes and wound NJ
by devouring FIVE large porterhouse
steaks in quick succession. AT his reg
ular meals he ate sparingly. but wher
he set himself down for a contest he
seemingly could consume an unlimited
quantity Of food. Five weeks ago Mel
low went into restaurant here and
ordered all the steaks. chops, chickens
fish. oysters and vegetables IN the place
TO be prepared and set before him. lie
cleared the restaurant OF everything
eatable and then said he wished he had
something more TO eat Melloy's stom-
ach stretched like a tiny balloon, and
he had a special suit OF clothes to wear

he emigrated to the Coast and drifted to

The San Francisco Examiner says:

The San Francisco Examiner says:
Three weeks ago DR.. ]. Albert Noble,
who lives at the Palace Hotel, had his
marriage with his first wife annulled.
Last Thursday DR., Noble married again
at Santa Cruz, his bride being Margaret
K Walsh, young widow who formerly
lived at Honolulu, but has for some time
past been a resident of San Francisco
The brides father was an old friend of
King Kalakaua.
DR.. Noble secured the annulment of
his first marriage by swearing on the
witness stand in the Superior Court that
he had been induced to marry by illegal
means. He said that the woman who
was his wife took a dose of laudanum
and made him swear on the Bible that
he would marry her before she would
permit him to administer an antidote
He testified that he married the woman
to save her life after she had taken the
poison.
The second marriage was performed
last Thursday by the Rev Dr. Smith of
the Methodist church of Santa Cruz.
DR.. Smith first required assurance that
the previous marriage had been annulled
and that it was not a case of divorce.
He ascertained that the first Mrs Noble
has been an inmate of the Agnew's asy-

Ownership of Lislanski Skins.
Honolulu Tu1y Ist, 1904.

Editor Advertiser: Where do you get
your law that the Territory of Hawaii
has a right to the prepared birdskins on
Lavinsky island?
Under Article OF of the Customs reg
ulations of the United States, the vessel
from Japan which landed the provisions,
tools and stores of the Japanese on La
whisky island without her captain max
ing first entry at Honolulu and obtaining
permit from Collector Stackable was
liable to forfeiture; but that does not
give to the Territory of Hawaii or to the
United States of America or to any I'M
licensed acquisionist of other peoples
property the right to override the law of
meum and tuum, and seize the baled
birdskins now supposed to be stored in
shack on the island.
Under Sections 1900 to 1880 of the
Hawaiian Penal Code it is made mis-
demeanor to kill any wild plover, duck,
snipe, turnstone, curlew, mud hen, phea-
SAINT, dove, turkey, pigeon or quail dur
ing certain months of the year; but the
statute does not extend to gulls, comics,
frigate birds, or any birds not specifically
enumerated.
The birds killed on Lavinsky island
were not protected by the game law OF
Hawaii. or by any Act of Congress; they
were Ferae Naturae, and whatever VIC
lation of the Customs regulations may
have been committed by the master of
the vessel which landed the Japs there,
and whatever further violation of those
regulations may be committed by any
foreign vessel which may hereafter land
there to take the goods away, and what
ever technical trespass upon the lands
of the United States may have been COM
mltted by those who landed and resided
there and killed and skinned the sea-
birds, that does not divest the japanese
of their right TO the fruit of their labors.
and any sea rover who appropriates those
bird feathers viii be guilty of grand
larceny
The situation is not unlike that of
Alkali Jake who accused of stealing a

Loaded deeply with cargo which
would be a rich prize for the Vladivostok
feet of the Russian navy should they
capture her, the British tramp steamer
ST. Hubert, Captain Wardale. lay at the
channel wharf all day yesterday and up
to midnight taking on coal as fast as a
big force of drays and stevedores could
put it in her bunkers. The St. Hubert
arrived in port yesterday morning, thlr-
ty-one days from Iquique, Chile, with a
cargo of saltpeter for the Japanese gov
ernment Ali this is contraband of war
as the saltpeter will be used by the Jap
anese in the manufacture of powder.
The St Hubert had saltpeter on board
to make powder sufficient to blow half
the Russians in Siberia and Manchuria
into eternity All told her cargo
amounted to 1000 tons. The vessel sail
ed for Yokohama about midnight.
The St. Hubert left Iquique on May
81 and although she is slow vessel
made rather good time to this port. If
she does not fall into the hands of the
Vladivostok squadron she will reach
Yokohama in about twelve days. Even
among her sailors there was disposition
to regard the voyage of the vessel as a
very dangerous one The vessel is one
of type which could be easily destroyed
by a Russian cruiser and her speed is
not great enough to enable her to escape
in case of chase by a nlan-of-war.
The vessel took about two hundred
and fifty tons of coal at this port and
stevedores were at work slowing this
in her bunkers far into the night.
