A Rirmlnaham Tenor.

Reed Miller who was the tenor solo at the Church of the Advent two years ago, Is distinguishing himself In New York" said Birmingham critic. MT Miller was pupil of MT. Powell. on whose advice he went to New York to take up a course of study under a famous teacher. Miller had not been long in New York before his rare voice began to attract attention. This season he has had many important engagements in oratories and he will have the nota- ble distinction of being one of the prin- cipals at the musical festival in New Orleans under the direction of Thedore Thomas.
 This New Orleans festival, by the way, will be one of the great events of the year. The music lovers of the Crescent City have been enthusiastic patrons of opera but have never showed any liking for symphony or charm work outside of opera. and Thomas orchestra has not been heard ther since 1871. But if the May festival venture proves successful symphonic and oratorio music will be fashionable every season.

Two Views of Negro Problem.

Thomas Nelson Page in March Me
 Clures.
 One great trouble is the different way in which the body of the people at the north and at the south regard this prob lem. We have presented to us the sim guar fact that two sections of the same race, with the same manners and cus- toms, the same traits of character. the same history and. until within time so recent that the divergence Is within the memory of living men, the same his- torical relation to the negro race. should regard so vital question from such op- posite points: the one esteeming the question to be merely as to the legal equality of the races and the other pas sionately holding 1t to be a matter of race-integrity. What adds to the anomaly is the pregnant fact that the future of these two sections must hereafter run on together; their interests become ever more and more identified and if the one is right In holding that its position Is founded on a racial instinct the other,
 in opposing 1t, Is fighting against a position which it must eventually as- sume Yet. their views have up to the present been so divergent. they have. in- deed, been so diametrically opposed to each other, that, if one is right the other must be radically wrong.

Boston Laws.

''The old laws on the statute books in Boston known as the Blue Laws are the most remarkable that l have ever heard of" said a globe trotter at the Morris hotel last night. T was told that there Is an ordinance prohibiting the kissing of women on the streets, and also one making 1t an offense to smoke on the street. The last two, I was informed, are not enforced to the letter. The anti splitting ordinance is in vogue. Another law which is carried out prohibits the sale of liquors within five hundred yards of the union passenger station"

THE LOVE OF COUNTRY.
Rv Sir Walter Scott.

Russia, the Land of crafters.

Gibson willets in Leslies Weekly.
 TO St. Petersburg came three American business men to secure a gold mining concession. There are S51 places where gold is found in Russia, and our friends wanted the privilege of working one of those places First. they had to deposit s50OOO with the ministry of the interior as good faith" So much for the regu- lar, legal part of the programme. Now for the irregular, illegal part. They kept in their room at the Hotel Europe a bag of hard cold cash in golden rubies. This cash they doled out in installments, first to this prince, then to that count, for Influence" Each time they handed out the money they were told that their propo- sition had been found good. and promises were made that the concession would be speedily granted. Each time the would be concessionaires believed that they had accomplished something. and each time they were disappointed and had to refill the money bag. The wearisome delay in the negotiations continued week after week; technical obstacles, each more serious than the preceding one, were brought forward and so weeks grew into months, and the Americans were not one step nearer the goal. Deciding that bankruptcy would come before any kind of definite conclusion could be obtained. they went away with what cash they had left and an accumulated amount of dis gust. Their s5o.000 was returned with all legal formalities. but considerably more than that sum was left in the hands of the princes and counts- Such has been the experience of many other A ricans seeking to do business in Russi- each in sheer desperation abandoning his en- terprise.

]. ELLIS STARTS
FOOTBALL CASUAL TIES

Its all football talk nowadays and
Honolulu's athletes are making ready
for the gridiron season in dead earnest.
The three elegens in the league-Puna-
hous, II. A. C.'s and MaiIes-have al
ready perfected their preliminary or
CARNATIONS, and are about to have try
outs to determine the men who are to
qualify for positions.
In the H. A. C.'s it is probable that
Kauhane will take his old position of
center. Henry and Isaac Cocket and
A. McDuffie are being tried for left
guards, while Dan Renear is being
looked upon as possible half back.
Doves, fast player from an Illinois
High School eleven, is also being tried
out as half back, and possible for
quarter back. Kanae, however, may
still be retained in his old position OF
half back.
The Males have already demonstrate
ed that they scent hard tussle this
season, for in the first practice of the
eleven on Thursday evening John Ellis
broke the little finger of his left hand.
Ellis will probably play right guard.
Chiffon will probably qualify as center.

WHITES OPINION
IS VALUABLE

The following item concerning Mr..
Herbert H White will be of interest
to the Honolulu yachtsmen who met
him during his visit here about two
years ago. He is a cousin of Mr.. 4.

his stay made the trip to Pearl Harbor

ion of the yachting opportunities here.

world makes his opinion valuable

BOSTON, Sept. 19.-The yachting
season in Massachusetts Bay has now
practically closed, and those yachtsmen
who delight in racing during the great
er part of the summer months are sorry
that it is so, for it has been one OF
the best seasons in many.
In the 22ft. class, four yachts-Clotho,
Peri H., Medric, and Warrior-attended
nearly all of the Y. r. A. races that
were given. Clotho, which as a center
board boat last year, could not be meas
ured into the class, was made keel
boat last spring, and managed to meas
ure in at the first of the season. she
and Peri II. We're very close on per-
centage throughout the racing. Clotho
seems to be able to win III light TO
moderate breezes, while Peri IL. gets
the gun in heavy weather. In very
light airs Opitsah V. and Medric have
it out. Warrior, the only centerboard
boat in the class, won her first race on
Memorial Day, and did not succeed in
getting another.
Yacht owners in this class, and in
every other Y. r. A. class, are loud OF
their praises of Mr.. Herbert H. White,
who owns Medric. Mr.. White is very
consistent racing man, and keeps at 1t
just as hard when he is behind as when
he is ahead. He is also the owner OF
the steam yacht Wild Goose, which
accompanies Medric on all racing cir
cults. In calm weather Mr.. White not
only takes Medric in tow. but also takes
a line from any of the other yachts,
which are generally very glad to avail
themselves of his offer for assistance.
On one occasion, when it was dead calm
at Manchester after the close of race,
and there was a race at Marblehead on
the following day, Wild Goose had
eleven yachts in tow. When the fleet
started from WeIlfleet for Provincetown
on August 81 there was not breath
of air. Mr.. White told all hands to
hook on to Wild Goose, and lowed them
the whole distance, about twenty-five
miles. Two of the yachts-Early Dawn
and Warrior-started out early. and
trusted to getting a breeze. They had
still miles to go when the rest of the
fleet was anchored at Provincetown. As
there was no prospect of any breeze Mr..
White got Wild Goose under way again
and went after them. towing them to
the harbor. Mr.. White may not have
won the championship in his class, but |
he has own something else which is Of
far more yalue.-Forest and Stream.

kind, probably an expert at the

contents scattered, and some

left in the safe. Mr.. Leverett
