the wonderful science of jiu jitsu in
dulged in by japanese, will be one of
the principal attractions on the night
that McFadden and Modlin meet for
the championship.
Jiu jitsu has been demonstrated be-
yond argument to be a most wonder
full science. The japanese have prac-
| ticed this mode of seIf-defence for the
last two hundred years. 1t is just re-
Gently that it has come to the front in
America as a mode Of protection, and
is now attracting unusual attention
No boxer or wrestler, no matter what
his weight or cleverness, could hope to
cope against a jiu jitsu expert.
Recently in New York an expert of
the new science by the name of Pro-
fessor Higashi went before the police
and offered to demonstrate what he
could do. Five men were selected to
meet the Oriental. They We're Whit
man, known as Ajax, the all around
strong man of the force, 5 feet 9 inches
tall, weight 1876 pounds; John Flana-
gan, the champion hammer thrower,
and others. Higashi is feet inches
tall and weighs 120 pounds.
Ajax was the first man to give the
Jap a chance to show what he could
do. Ajax's experience was a deter
rent. The giant, after a brief strug-
gle. sank down Imply, black in the
face. and for a minute unconscious. The
Jap tapped the policeman on the pit
of the stomach and he began to breathe
again.
Then Ajax, who is a skillful wrestler,
engaged the Jap in three wrestling
bouts. He was as an infant in the
hands of the little man, who threw him
with ease. Higashi illustrated suffi-
GENTLY upon Ajax, 50 the rest were ex-
cused.
Jiu jitsu is a coming science and in
a class by itself. There are many ex-
perts in Honolulu and Saturday night
W i'll provide a good chance for the pub
lie to see what it is like.

MALES WIN
IN FOOTBALL.
lolanis Go Down to
Defeat by Score
of 81.

Fast and exciting play marked the
game of ''socker' football at Baseball
park yesterday afternoon. There was
an exceedingly light crowd. but the
| play was close enough to keep the
handful that did attend enthusiastic
fight for it and it was not until the
first half was almost pau that a score
was made. Then, after fierce strug-
gle, Woo shot the ball into the net
| amid great cheering from the Iolani
cohorts. But within half a minute Chill
ton did the same trick at the other end
of the field and the green and gold
supporters had their little laugh. There
was not minute more to play and the
half ended without further scoring
Both teams came out on the field in
the second half intent on winning. For
a time the ball seesawed about in the
Icenter of the field and then the Males
slowly but surely began TO invade the
Iolani territory. After about ten min
utes of play Harwood, by a clever kick,
sent the ball into the net. 1t was but
a short time before the ball was again
in IoIani territory. There was sharp
struggle around the goal, but Har-
wood hit the ball lucky crack with
his head and sent it into the goal for
the last score of the day. Toward the
last the Iolanis began to ginger up
and twice came within an ace of scor-
ing but luck was against them and
the ball stayed ont of the Male net
The Males also had the ball close to
the Iolani goal, but good work by the
goal keeper, backed by the rest of the
team, saved the Iolanis from a worse
defeat. The game ended with the score;
Males 8, Iolanis 0.

| Sheriff Word has stepped in and
declared that he will not permit the
proposed glove contest between Tommy
Burns and Dave Barry. which was
scheduled for January 20 in Portland.
| From all accounts George Cole must
have given Dixie Kidd a sound beating
at Philadelphia last week. The bout
was little tame at the start, but when
Coles manager tipped him to start
something he went in with a dash.
The Californian was down three
times in the second round. Once by
stopping right hook on the jaw and
twice by slipping to avoid punishment.
Cole s work in this round was superb.
He had the - Kid completely discon-
certed. The latter could not stop the
rain of blows and clinched frequently.
Eddie Hanlon gave good account
of himself at Philadelphia Saturday
night, when he bested Jack O'Neil,
man several pounds heavier. O'NeilI
started off like d winner having things
all his own way in the opening round,
In the fifth and sixth Eddie fought
Jack to the ropes and had him holding
on to avoid punishment. 1t was clearly
HanIon s bout, and though he won. his

FIGHTERS ARE HARD AT WORK

There is much gossip as to who will
bring home the long end Of the purse
on Saturday night, when McFadden
| and Modlin hoop up for their second
meeting. There is a wide difference
in opinion. All, however, agree that it
will be a fight worth going miles to
see. Each sport is giving his friend the
tip to be at the ring side and see the
doings.
| How are YOU betting on the fight?'
asked a sport of Joe Cohen yesterday.
| Wen, I'll tell you" said Joe. You can
pick your man and I viii lay you even
money that he loses. It is a toss up
and 1 prefer to keep my coin in my
pocket
1t is a hard proposition to draw a
line on these two lads. AodIin is strong
and aggressive and has all the quail
ties Of winner. If he can ever reach
the clever Frisco lad it VIII be to the
woods with Mac. McFadden, on the
other hand, is perhaps the cleverest
lad who ever stepped through the ropes
in this city. He has good footwork and
a clear head. In their last contest at
the end of the fifth round ModIin had
a good lead-he had scored clean
knock down and if the decision had
been given then the local lad would
have carried off first honors In the
last round McFadden did the leading
and landed two to one on the soldier.
He made a whirlwind finish and had
the spectators on their feet 1t was the
showing in this last round that saved
the red fighter.
If work has anything to do with WIN
ming this fight they will both carry off
the laurels. They are at it from morn
ing until night.
MODLIN TALKS OF MAC.

An Old Time Fight.

The account of prize fight a hun
| bred years ago is certainly a curiosity
nowadays. Therefore the following lit
tie article, printed in the London Times
November &c. 1904, and reprinted here,
ought to make good reading:
"PUGILISM.
1.-THE fight which we stated a few
days since to be about to take place
between Tom Belcher, brother to the
champion of that name, and Billy Ry
an, son of the ate noted pugilist was
yesterday decided at Widen Green, on
the Edgeware road. A council was held
among the gentry of the fists on Tues
day last, when the understanding re-
garding the purse to be fought for was
that the fight should take place yester-
day instead of Monday next. The cham
pions arrived at Widen Green at IL
o'clock, when a ring was formed by the
spectators, who greeted the tools of
their amusement by loud cheers Bel
cher first threw his hat into the ring
over the heads of the spectators. as
an act Of defiance to his antagonist,
who received him into the ring with
welcome smile. Belcher was
dreadfully beaten in comparison to Ry-
an. who had, nevertheless, some very
ugly hits. Jones and Whale seconded
Ryan and Belcher was seconded by
Maddox and Norton. The fight lasted
one hour and twenty minutes

want to enter into the play-several

The games showed marked i'm

faster and with better Judgment.
There are still too many fouls being
committed, close count showing that
the Puns and Hams transgressed the
rules twenty-five times, while the H. s.
and 7. w. IS were penalized on sixteen
different occasions. With a little more
attention to this end of the game the
girls would put up an excellent exhi-
bition.
Both games were close and exciting
to the end and kept the spectators in
suspense until the time-keeper announ-
ced the game at an end. The second
game was such an even break that the
players themselves had to seek the
scorer to see who came out the victor.

hard as they could, the girls from Ka- |

than anything seen on the court this |
season. Time after time by clever pass |

season and deserved every point they |
gained.

WHAT DIR. VAN DYKE SAYS.
Qualities in Which Woman Should Excel.

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, discussing "The Way to
Womanhood" in series of papers in Harper's
Bazaar, thus voices his personal views on the sub
ject:
''It seems to me-" he says, chat woman's ex-
cellence (and [ have been using the word always
in it's proper meaning to denote superiority,
lies in three things-a certain fneness and deli
cacy of physical organization and balance; a
certain deep and sensitive power of intellectual
and moral sympathy, and certain firm and gen
tie faculty of social order and rule. I believe
that nature gives the germ and potency of these
things, to her fully and more richly than to
man at the beginning of life. They fit and adorn
a woman for the place and the privileges which
belong to her civilized society And the course
of life, the method of training and education
which develops these things in girl, is the way
to womanhood."
DR.. Van Dyke thinks ''for most girls the true
purpose and the best result of education is not
the mastery of some special branch nor the ac-

A Vision-Seeing Day.

Every season grants US a vislon-seeing day
when Nature longer points inward or back
ward, but turns eyes to the r1tts which dis
close the landscapes of the coming season. Thus
among the SHOWS of winter there come days which
sing O fthe coming of the spring erocus and lsya-
cinth. Sometimes when the air is heavy with the
odor of apple blossoms there is heard the far-otf
tinkle of ice or the moan OF the skurrymg surf.
Last Sunday was day full of autumn visions.
The sunshine was as bright as that of the most
torrid summer day, but it seemed to be shIvering
with the chill of frosty November sunsets. The
sky had that peculiar blue which always makes US
think of the white mornings when children hunt
for hickory nuts. The song of the breeze which
seems to be always passing around our corner was
as sweet as usual, but it had lost its summer lIt
and occasionally was heard a December sob: Ihe
flowers, last week so debonair, wore the prlmneSs
of the melancholy days" We wondered II the
golden rod in the meadow did not wear rensve
look and if the little blue flowers which star the
borders of the cornfelds at this season. were not
whispering among themselves of the day when
the sky would be ragged with cloud and north
winds would be ripping through the dlsmantlad
fields The whole blessed day-the last Sabbath
of 19O5's August, was full of Autumn Visions
Nature one of Gods dearest messengers, IS
ever pointing us to the future. May we not hope
that thousands of men and women on last SAP
bath heard the Higher Voice and through th%
riffs of faith caught sweet glimpses of the eternal
season which is just over yonder, few steps

The Sweetest of ALI.

Something of the poetry of the home appears
in little story told by the Philadelphia Times ::
AS soon as it was announced that Mr. A!exanc
der Simpson had been elected to the Office of
president of the Philadelphia Bar Association,
his lawyer friends went to his house and offered
him their congratulations.
Mr.. Simpsons small son was in the room, ard
for several minutes he watched the scene with
round eyes, Then he made his way through the
crowd until he reached his fathers side.
A gentleman had just said, Il congratulate you,
Mr.. Simpson" when the newly elected president
felt tug at his coat-tail. Looking down. ne saw
his
"Well, what is it, my boy?' he asked,
"I love you, papa!" piped tiny voice in reply.
Overcome with feeling, the father lifted up his
son and kissed him, then set him down. As the
little fellow trotted off the nearest Mr.. Slmp-
son extended their hands in silence. Convention
al congratulations somehow seemed out of place.

Perhaps I have given the impression that the

A " Spoiled ;" Reader.

Senator Pettus, of Alabama, who is STILL at
eighty-four, of the most effective men IN the
United States Senate, explains, in part at least,
his intellectual vitality by experience OF his
young manhood In 1S49, being then twenty-elght
years of age, he crossed the plains on horse
back to California. As part of the very limited
baggage which such mode of travel exacted, ne
took three books: the Bible and the poems OF
Shakespeare and Burns These he read in camp
by the way. Of the effect he says: "That ex-
perence of reading spoiled me forever after 1he
silence the solitude, the ftful light of the hre,
and the tremendous significance of the written
messages under such conditions, cannot be put
into words. treasure those books my choicest
possessions; and when things go awry, go back
to them for comfort and assistance, and never In
vain"
Would that young men could be spoiled"
by such reading as that There is flavor about
the great books of old that, it possesses the
mind especially the youthful mind will effectual-
ly preserve it from trivial tastes and intellectual
dissipations. But, unfortunately for the young
people of time, there is much popular
reading highly spiced with adventure and charged
with present-day interests, that unless young
man or a young woman is virtually shut up by
some accident to the reading of great books,
youth, with its enthusiasms may quite pass before
it is discovered that there such books. That
is a real calamity; for the chance of developing
an enthusiasm for great literature amid the cares
and duties of nature life, in infnitesimal and the
loss to life which is passed without that enthusi-

THE HOME CIRCLE
September.

Sweet is the voice that calls
From babbling waterfalls
Tn meadows where the downy seeds are lying;
And soft the breezes blow,
And eddying come and go
In faded gardens where the rose is dying.
Among the stubbled
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drum IN hidden places,
And -glittering insects gleam
Above the reedy stream,
Where busy spiders spin their hlmy laces.
At eve, cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall,
And on the clustered grapes to purple turning;
And pearly vapors lie
Along the eastern sky,
Where the broad harvestmoon is redly burning
All soon on field and HILL
The wind shall whistle chill,
And natriarch swallows call their f1ocks together
To hy from frost and snow,
And seek for lands where blow
The fairer blossoms of a balmler weather.
The cricket chirps all day,
90 fairest summer, stay!"
The squirrel eyes askance the chestnuts browning
The wild fowl fly afar
Above the foamy bar,
And hasten southwark ere the skies are frowhlng.
Now comes fragrant breeze
Through the dark cedar-trees,
And round about my temples fondly fingers,
In gentle playfuness,
Like to the soft
Bestowed in happier days by loving fingers
Yet, though sense of grief
Comes with the falling leaf,
And memory makes the summer douby pleasant,
In all my autumn dreams
A future summer CLEANS,
Passing the fairest glories of the present!
