Quincy at once entered the parlor
and found Alice seated in her accus-
toned easy chair.

the remark with which Alice greeted
him.

evidence against the prisoner"
"What is it?" asked Alice, holding
up the package.
"They are the proofs of three of
your Stories" replied Quincy relapsing
into commonplace; and. Leopold says
they must be read and corrected at
once. If we can attend to this during

sa and the terms he had made with
her. and Alice expressed herself as
greatly pleased with the arrangement.

ears, as mine no doubt has often

"You are unfair to yourself, when
you say that" replied Alice earnestly.
Your voice has never Jared upon my
ears, and l have always been pleased
to listen to you"
Whether Quincys voice would have

words more impassioned if the inter-
view had continued, cannot be divin-

Miss Very was introduced to Alice
and the others at the dinner table,and
took the seat formerly occupied by

to dinner as he knew his services
would be required in the proof reading.

HONOLULU WILL SEE LIFE
AS IT WAS IN OLD JAPAN
c. C. BALLENTYNE.

year millions of people assemble
throughout the empire to witness this
sport, that the excitement rises so
high that spectators often cast some
portion of their clothing into the arena
as a mark of favor to the successful
wrestler, that on one occasion two rival
claimants to the throne settled the diff
ffcplty by wrestling, the estimation set
on this pastime may be roughly guess
ed. To see a first class wrestling show
in Japan is one of the experiences of a
life time. At the proposed entertain
ment, which by the way is to bear the
name of ''Old Japan" and is to occur
on July %, the peculiar features of Jap
anese wrestling will re fully explained,
making a more interesting exhibition
than is possible even in Japan where
every one is supposed to know all about
the details.
But wrestling will be simply one item
in the entertainment. Jujutsu which
has lately become such a fad through
out the United States, will be exhibited
in all it's exciting features. Honolulu
boasts a distinguished professor of this
art who has been practicing his profess
sion here among the young gentlemen
of his race for some time. He will have
charge of this part of the program
and with his confreres viii thoroughly
illustrate the thrilling and amusing de-
tails of this sport.
Add to this a dramatic presentation
of scenes from the Forty-sevel Eonin
in pantomime by a company of actors,
an exhibition of sword and other tricks,
a number of thrilling contests in long
sword, halberd, short sword sickle
and ball fencing interspersed with Jap
anese music, all out of doors on a
bright moonlight night with electric
stage illumination, refreshment served
by gaily costumed musume, and it
would be hard to imagine a more de-
lightful evening of amusement than
that which our japanese friends are
conjuring up for the 22nd.

Christian Club House for japanese
has been instituted lately on Kukui
street 1t was badly needed. Several
societies of young Japanese gentlemen
longed for suitable club room with
gymnasium annex and a bathing es-
adjustment of approved pattern. The
school property on Kukui street was Sc
cured and made over for the required
purposes. But the money giving out,
the question arose how to raise funds
to complete the equipment?
The Japanese of the Twentieth Cen
fury is not to be nonplussed. Instead
of passing a subscription paper let us
treat the good people of Honolulu to
acteristic features of life in Old Japan"
Done. But what shall its nature
be?"
'Since we want to equip a gymnasium
and club house let US exhibit the sports
which have trained Japan to appre-
ciate the modern art and science of
warfare. and make the best use of
them.''
In this spirit it was decided to give
an entertainment unique in the his
tory of this city or for that matter in
the United States.
No nation in the world has developed
wrestling to the extent practiced in
Japan. Fortunately a splendid COM
pany of wrestlers is now in Honolulu
and these men will appear, giving the
most spectacular features of their art.
In addition to the exciting contests of
skill in wrestling the ancient wrestlers-
dance will be performed.

Under the Taft administration things

UNFOUNDED
COMPLAINT
Mr.. Ballantyne's Reply
TO Captious
Critics.

Editor Advertiser: An article ap-
peared in the columns of last evening :
Bulletin rejecting severely upon the
management of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit & Land Co, in regard to the
operation of the car service to the
baseball grounds The remarks made
are credited to the Baseball League as
being the emanations of the members
at a meeting held yesterday.
1t is difficult to imagine such state
ments being made in good faith as
they are so far wide of the facts. The
criticisms are of very broad char
acter and include the whole service of
the company, as witness the following
quotation I'm a few words, the Rapid
Transit people, according to the SEN
timents freely expressed by the gen
the HonoluI public and don't care
button whether the service given the
people is satisfactory or not.
- The answer to this may be safe
" left to the Honolulu public who, if
the foregoing statement is correct, are
better capable of approaching a good
service than the members of the Base
ball League.
That games are suffering for lack of
attendance by reason of the service
given by the H. r. T. & L. Co. is I'M
true as the first through cars arrive at
the baseball grounds at lis, two cars
arriving there at that hour and two
every ten minutes thereafter up to $3.50
D. m. The first cars arrive forty min
utes before the game is called. If
patrons of the game choose to leave
the cars at McCully street and walk
to the grounds, that is their look out, |
the cars are there to take them and |
If they do not do SO, we do not know |
of any means whereby we may compel |
them.
AS I have already stated a double car |
service runs to the grounds until $780, |
after that hour there is a regular ten |
minute service of one car, which those |

is over can take. They are not de-
pendent upon the waialae car, run
ming every half hour. to make con-
nections for town, SO that the STATE
ment that they are dependent upon
this half-hourIy car, is another mis-
statement. In fact. the whole article
is nothing but a tissue of misstate-
ments and utterly uncalled for, and
certainly if the report is correct, does
not reflect a high order of intelligence
or sense of fair play upon the mem
bers of the Honolulu Baseball League
President Isenberg is reported to
have stated that he had seen Mr.. Bal
Ientyne and that little good had come
of it. Mr.. Isenberg did see Mr.. Bal
lentyne and asked if we could begin
the through service ten or twenty
minutes earlier as the players were
DESTROYS of going out to the grounds
for practice a half an hour before the
game began and would like through
transportation. This request was COM
piled with and the through trips on the
Hotel street line advanced SO that the
cars would arrive forty minutes before
the game commenced. Mr.. Isenberg is
reported to have said that 800 people
had been forced to walk to McCully
street on Saturday last" AS there
q
the game last Saturday and we had
cars return with less than the full
seating capacity occupied, that state
ment would not appear to agree with
the facts.
AS to the Rapid Transit Co., erecting
and placing at the disposal of the pub
lie grand stands, dancing pavilions and
aquariums without charge, this does
not appear to be a proper subject for
at meeting of the Baseball |
League, especially as they appear to |
will bear.
The Manager of the Rapid Transit |
Co, admits that on Monday last, the |
4th of July, there was an insufficiency
Of cars to properly transport the large |
crowd then present at the game, but |
man can but do his best and when |
the company puts in service every /
available car, as it did on that occa- |
sion, it has done all it possibly can do,
and until the new cars. now on the
way, arrive, it cannot provide more |
accommodation than it did on Mon
lay last.
In conclusion, permit me to say that
f the Baseball League is DESTROYS of
hiding out the cause of the waning
interest in the baseball games, it must
seek some other than the facilities for
transportation provided by the Rapid
Transit Co.
Yours truly,

THE STATES PRISON.
Directors Meet, Do Routine Work and
Talk CT Cotton and Crops.

The directors of the States Prison were
in session yesterday and there were pres
ent Messrs. J. p. Kerr, of Ashevlle; w
f. Crosland, Of Diggs, and j. G. Hackctt,
of North Wilkesboro.
The only business stated to have been
transacted was of routine character.
There was some talk about the cotton on
htnd, there being about 125 bales yet to
be sold, 100 bales having been sold in
January at Is IL and the sales before
thae having been made at 10 5.16 cents a
pound. It is the idea to hold the present
cotton looking for an advance.
1t is learned that farm work will be
pushed and that $50 tons of fertilizer
have been purchased for early delivery.
The acreage in cotton will not be in
creased but efforts will be made to raise
mere on the same land. The calls for
convict labor outside of the prison in
crease, the latest being to obtain some
to work in brick yard at Kinston, AN
other from Mr.. Blue for work at Aber-
deem and another from the Raleigh and
Pomlico Sound Railroad people who are
now using 100 convicts but want larger
number.
