OPPOSED TO
PRIZE FIGHTS
Young Men and Boys
DemoraIized by
Them.

Editor Advertiser: It is gratifying
to those who are interested in the moral
well being of the community, to note
the energy displayed in efforts to sup
press gambling, that vice of which the
late William Morris, poet and artist,
said: 1T is the one vice which is with
out excuse
There is. however, another democrat
ling influence which seems just now
to be enjoying a BOOM and what pos
sible excuse" it has is hard to discover.
The manly art of self-defense,' may
have its place in athletics, and bout
with boxing gloves may be legitimate
fun. But where is the manliness in a
prize fight?
Here are two men stripped for the
fray: each bent on mauling the other
into helplessness. They shake hands
in token of their friendly affection, then
proceed to pound one another as nearly
to a pulp as possible without rendering
themselves liable to the hangman's
moose. The crowd eggs them on with
encouraging yells while each season
ed and unseasoned sport" bets his
bottom dollar" on his favorite. What
a charming way of making ones living!
1t certainly stirs the blood, but, of the
two forms of gambling, dice throwing
seems far less repuIsive to most of US
and almost as intellectual.
In the meantime the young men and
boys of Honolulu are being demoraliz-
ed, for the evil influence of this de-
grading pastime cannot be questioned.
The writer has positive knowledge of
child not more than thirteen who has
become so unsettled over the attrac-
tfons of the ring that his employer
has been obliged to discharge him.
Does any one imagine that in a CITY
young sinner above all that are in Ho-
nolulu? Watch the entrance to the Or
pheum on these occasions and count
the boys in their early teens. The pa
performance; the fences are ablaze
with pictures of the actors. All this
attracts the public eye and arouses the
public interest, but remember that a
large portion of the public is made up
of our coming men and lawmakers.
Somebody asks: What are you going
to do about it." The question awaits
an answer.
People talk of the g1adiatorial com
bats of pagan Rome and shudder, with
pious sympathy, over those who were
''butchered to make Roman holiday"
Just think of being pounded to make
a Honolulu holiday in this Christian
twentieth century!

The Lucky Golfer.

A remarkable accident, with a touch
Of that humor which is showing itself
ever in this wonderful game, took place
in this country. Two well-known play
ers We're engaged in a close contest.
One of these. at an advanced hole OF
the match, was a little down. Both
had made equally good drives but a
poor second shot had put the player
who was behind, with high board
fence between him and the hole. The
other man played, and placed his ball
neatly on the green He walked on
ward with all the confidence which
comes from lying almost dead. while
ones opponent is playing one more in
a less advantageous position. Suddenly
he saw the other ball roll across the
grass, and come to rest within a foot
of the flag. To play over the fence
was almost impossible to do with any
accuracy, but his opponent had played
and made a poor shot. His ball, how
ever, instead OF striking the fence had
passed neatly through knot hole and
come to rest in a position which en-
abled him to putt out, winning the hole.

HAWAIIAN HIRED
A WHOLE BAND

II there's anything Sam Luka likes
better than the cry of There she
blows" it is the music Of a brass
band, says the Chronicle. Sam is a
Hawaiian boatsteerer on the whaling
steamer Beluga, and ever since he came
to port last November he has made his
home in a clearinghouse down near
the water front. The money that he
made last year has been spent in having
a good time ashore His friends knew
that he liked band music, for he often
followed parades up Market street, and
appeared to be best satisfied when
some lively march or ragtime air was
sounding forth. SO they were not sur
prised yesterday when Sam, in taking
his departure from shore, hired brass
band to play a few tunes at his board
ing-house, few more tunes at the
boat landing at the foot of Vallejo
street, and few tunes more on the
deck OF the Beluga, anchored out in
the stream. Sam was in his glory.
With the customary advance payment
in his pocket he insisted upon doing
the honors for his friends, and they
were not few in number While the
band played popular airs, Sam and his
friends took long, touching farewell,
that echoed along the adjacent wharf
sheds. and will resound in his ears I'M
til the Beluga once again rounds the
rocky headland of Point Bonita on
her way from the haunts of the willy
bowhead Satisfied with his sojourn
OF several months amid the pleasures
of civilization, as a whaler enjoys it,
Sam took final farewell of his friends
as they hauled away from the Beluga
/ and the band sent over the water the
dying notes OF Down Where the
Wurzburger Flows" 1t was a great
day for Sam Luka and his mates on
the Beluga.

POLITICAL POKER.
a1estions of Great Moment DeteA mined by the Game in tho
 State of Kansas.

Topeka Is much agitated over revelae
 tions of draw poker in high places, and
 nothing could better show than this up-
 roar what inroads the civilization of the east Is making on the life of the bound, less prairies. Once upon time, states the Kansas City Journal, draw poker was to Kansas what bridge whist is to the parlors of the fashionable. It was prac- tised as an art, . pastime. profession. No one thought then of concealing hia play of the game, but, rather. 1t was subject of pride and boosting. Indeed, 1t was more than game, for 1t served ~ times in the adjudication of the most serious problems of state or government
 At present the law of Kansas recOg. Aises the game of chance known 0 drawing lots" as the proper means od deciding all ties in elections, but form srly draw poker was resorted to as moro orderly means of compromising For example, in one of the western coun- ties, when two amiable gentlemen tiet for the office of representative they played . game of 'freeze-out" to de- termine which should enjoy the ofhce Again, not so many years ago, when the senate committee on congressional ap. portionment came to a deadlock over tho divers plane for dividing the state into congress districts, the members ad- journed to Q room in the Copeland, took each a generous stack of chips and played to a finish. Under the terms o( this historical game the committeeman who lost his chips withdrew himself and his apportionment plan from further consideration; and when the game was reduced to two gentlemen, the one whe froze the other out fixed the plan of ap- portionment, which stands with little change as the plan of to-day.
 Volumes could be written of poker in- cidents in Kansas. Once 8 we'll known congressman, who, by the way, has reap- peared in Kansas politics, had to meet the charge made by some overprudisl people that he was addicted to tho game of poker He appealed to his political associates to help him out. The one whe came most energetically to his recuss was Capt. Bill Hackney. the Winfield statesman. "I am in position to state" certified the doughty captain, that MT. Blank is less addicted to the game thar any man I ever played with"
 More elaborate but quite as effective was the defense once made by Steve Os- born, ex-speaker of the Kansas house. Some 12 years ago Steve was running foI reelection to the office of district judge in western Kansas. The pops got out handbill accusing him of being "pokes player" and circulated 1t widely.

PRESS COMMENT ON
 MCDONALD COMPANY.

Dixie Land" as played by the Mcdonald Company, was one of the most touching dramas, and the audience last night was a large and enthusiastic one, says the Fulton, Kentucky. Commer- cial. It was full of fun and The old-time darkies of the South were all there in their inimical drollery and mirth h-Southern simplicity and ways of long ago. The scenes and character sketch es-the acting, songs and all, was so much a part of the South, that one was carried back once more to the Southern cornfeld and cotton patches. The "masher woman" had everything her own way, and Josephus Squashtop was ''it" sure enough. But the little soubrette was clear out of sight in her charming ways of caprice and sweet cunning. With the news of the rebellion, the old gents hysterical pantomime and the old lady was just awful in her nervous parade of excite ment and fear.
