"THE FLAG IS STILL THERE"
Famous Fort McHenry Preserved
Through Patriotic Efforts of
baltimore Citizens.

Through the patriotic efforts Of the citi-
zens OF Baltimore and Adiutant General
Clinton l. Riggs Of the Maryland National
Guard, historic Fort McHenry will be pre-
served In memory of Francis Scott Key
and it's past glories after its abandonment
as a fort by the War department on April

MYSTERY OF SILVER CUPS

Reception.

In a position to philosophize over the fact
that the world is pretty much the same all
over. But as 1t is their hearts are full Of
grief, with a possible bit Of resentment
added.
The Denver was in Havana harbor dur
ing the uncertain time when President
Palma was coming TO the conclusion that
the revolutionists had more men and guns
than he did. Its commander, Captain Col
well. by his tact and adroitness, did much
toward preventing an outbreak which would
have borne serious consequences. The Gu
bans appreciated his services and the re-
lations established between the officers of
his ship and the best society Of Havana
were the most cordial 1t was no more
than natural, therefore, that, on the eve
of the Denver's departure for the north,
reception and ball should have been
given on board. The chivalry, beauty, cul-
ture and wealth of the Cuban capital were
there Everybo was happy, including
the captain, who was made the recipient,
on this occasion, Of handsome gold watch
from his Havana admirers.
Before the gay company broke up Cap
tain Colwell bethought him TO count his
silyerware. To his horror he discovered
that several cups of the magnificent sill
YER service, given to the ship by the city
Of Denver on the occasion OF its christen-
ing, were missing. With resolution, but
much diplomatic phrasing, he made a
speech from the quarterback, announcing
the fact and asking for the return of the
souvenirs" But, sad to relate, the cups
were not Forthcoming and the Denver had
to sail without them. Doubtless they have
since been displayed with satisfaction by
some OF the Havana grandees-we do not
venture to guess at the sex-for the ad-
mlration Of friends

Common Sense Departs.

Common sense again, would impel a man
participating in a deer drive" where guns
are many and the area OF fire brief, to re-
main where he Is posted by the man in
charge Of the ceremonies until all danger
was past, And yet among a party OF
hunters who organized a drive recently
were a father and son, the latter OF
whom killed the former with the first shot
fred because the father did not remain
where the head huntsman placed him. The
manner Of a deer drive, as practced In
this country, is this: A dry swamp is To-
Gated, into which runways Of the deer
lead. The guns are 80 posted as TO COM
mand all points Of exit and one Of the
party walks through the swamp, aiming to
drive out such deer as may be couchant
there. In this case the elder man. an arbi-
trary and an irascible, became dissatisfied
with his location and plunged into the
swamp, intent on changing it to suit him
self. His son shot him through the stom-
ach. the bullet being one OF those devilish
little "soft-nOss' inventions that expand
and tear fTtghtfully, and the father lived
for ten hours, begging all in hearing TO
kill him and put him out OF his agony

a less distance than fifty miles, and though

but again common sense was absent where
1t was sorely needed.
Omaha daily bee., 1906-12-16

Common sense would forbid shooting at
small game, such as rabbits, squirrels or
birds with ammunition that will drive a
bullet two miles, which bullet the small
quarry can scarce check in its flight, 10
say nothing OF stopping it. And yet a
hunter very recently shot at rabbit while
passing through a bunch OF timber wnere
fifty men were at work, using a rifle with
a high velocity, smOkeless powder cart
ridge. Whether he got the rabbit or not
Is not known. He did get one of the men,
however, the poor fellow living for about
week after stopping the bullet
Common sense would forbid shooting at
anything whatever that the shooter could
not positively swear to- And yet a farmer
Of Aitkin county, Minnesota, Daniel Arm
strong by name, who was out hunting a
short time ago in company of a neighbor,
was done to death by the latter, because
common sense was not member of the
party. The friends had wounded a moose,
and were following 1t by means Of the blood
trail it left, when they came to swamp
within which they thought it might be
hiding. Armstrong started to go around
the swamp. leaving his neighbor at the
edge 50 as TO bring down the moose should
he start II up. But before poor Armstrong
had gone far one Of his shoestrings became
united and he stopped and stopped to fasten
it. Now, nothing on earth looks less like
a man than does a moose, yet the neigh
Dor, watching intently, caught sight Of
Armstrong; cap through the brush and
took 1t for an ear of the moose moving.
And he fired. Armstrong left wife and
two children to mourn-the fact that com
mon sense goes not with big game hunting.

IN he given a boost through an eXhl-
hilton to be held at the Promotloh
Committee rooms in the near future
At a meeting held on WEDNESDAY,
Messrs. Perkins, Warren and Dr. SIN
clair were appointed a committee to
arrange the details for the exhibit
The committee will make up the classi
fieatfon for photos. comprising por-
traits. landscapes, marines, etc.
A. Gartley. one of the best amateur
photographers in the Hawaiian Islands,
is secretary, and this insures a 1ine
exhibit. The Gartley photographs are
becoming famous, not only in Honolulu
but on the mainland. There are num-
bers of amateurs in the Islands ana
some beautiful pictures have resulted
through their efforts, but they are
seldom shown in public. The exhlol-
ton will doubtless prove valuable IN
many ways for the islands, ana the
promotion committee is favor1ng the
project in every way possible.
There will shortly be new oppof-
tunity for amateurs to display their
art. The Ridgways of New York have
sent out circulars to photographers all
over the United States drawing their
attention to weekly sixteen page
publication they will soon issue. which
is to be devoted largely to new pho
tographs from all parts of the United
States. Hawaii is asked to be a con-
tributor. All photographs which bear
any relation to news dispatches, etc.,
will be acceptable and Hawaii is asked
to send on whatever photo news it may
have. Pictures of wrecks, prominent
men and women visiting here. and all
strange features which have a news
value are acceptable.
With this opportunity in view and
the growing demand of mainland pub
locations for photographs, the coming
exhibit should be a very successful
one.
Photographers generally hope that
the Hawaiian edition of the New York
Independent will be replete with photo
graphs of island scenes.

On Sunday, August IL. at Hong
wanji Temple, Honolulu, the japanese
Buddhists of the Shin Shu sect cele-
brated the tenth anniversary of their
first regular Buddhistic service held
here. There are two distinct Bud
dhist sects working in Hawaii, the Shin
Shu and the Jiodosu, the former being
much In advance of the latter as re-
CARDS membership, number of temples,
etc.
For many years Japanese Buddhists
who had left their native land to jour-
privilege of attending Buddhist services
except at such times as a priest hap
pened to be passing through Hawaii.
Mr.. S. Kimura of Honolulu had. in
use of these visitors, but the great ma
jority of Buddhists were shut out from
the benefit of even these occasional
services
In the fullrsess of time, however, the
Right Reverend Count Koson Otani
the head priest of the Hongwanji mis-
sion at Kioto, learned from the priests
who had visited Hawaii of the earnest
desire on the part of Buddhist followers
here, for the establishing of a mission
| in their adopted country, and there
fore sent the Rev. Miyamoto to in
vestigate conditions. AS the result of
this investigation Rev. S. Yamada was
sent out to begin the work of Buddhis-
| tic propaganda in Hawaii. The first
| mazda was held in a private residence
ON Fort street at the Waikiki end of
Kukui street. In addition to the church
service, Mr.. Yamada started a night
| the beginning
So great an interest was taken in the
work that it was decided by the head
| of the Hongwanji mission in Japan to
extend the propaganda to the other
| islands of Hawaii, and, in consequence
the Rev. H. Sotami was sent to take
charge of the Honolulu branch while
Mr. Yamada went to Kauai, where he
built a mission and conducted the first
services of his faith on that island.
Meanwhile the people of the island of
Hawaii had asked that a priest might
, be sent to the mission already erect
Cd
therefore Rev. Satomi, giving the Kauai
work into other hands, journeyed to
Hilo and began the work he is still
conducting there.
At this time Buddhistic propaganda
received it's first backset. The Rev.
Satomi, who had endeared himself to
his people here by his earnest endeavors
in their behalf, became i'll and was
compelled, much against his wishes, to
return to Japan.
In his stead was sent the Rev Y.
given results that prove him to have
been the man for the place. He ar
rived in Honolulu in 1899. At that time
there was one temple in Hawaii. Since
coming here he has. despite many dis
couragements. built 90 temples, making
in all twenty-four Buddhist temples,
beside the five belonging to the Jiod-
osu sect in Hawaii

quarters on Fort street and the largest
temple is situated here. The building

which covers about half an acre of

the church proper being situated in the
upper story, which is reached by a
broad flight of stairs that reach from

HORTICULTURE
+. WALL EN-

In place of the usual dish up on hor-
ticulture, in this issue will be found
the editors paper read at the meet
ing of the Washington State Horticul-
tural Association at North Yakima,
January 8 to IL. The paper on "Horti-
cultural Laws, Wise and Otherwise"
was we'll received by many of our
fruit growers in the state. 1t was re-
ported to me that some persons present
said that the paper was against horti-
cultural laws-that it maintains that
they are not necessary. That may be-.
The writer disclaims any intention of
trying to supply any one with The
faculty to understand. That is "aboon
his might" However, if any one who
reads over this paper carefully still
thinks that it maintains that laws are
not necessary and will so inform the
editor, he will pay him a good price
for his picture.
In our next issue there will be
write-up of the horticultural conven-
ton at North Yakima and of the week
spent at Pullman. There are number
of inquiries present that will receive
attention in due time.
Horticultural LaWs-Wise and Other
wise.
Allow me in the outset to say that
this paper is not an attack on horti-
cultural laws as such. l believe IN
horticultural laws and believe in their
enforcement, and l further believe IN
upholding those whose duty it is to see
to the enforcement of such laws,
whether they are state or county
officers. The purpose of this paper is
to lay down such criteria as will en-
able us to discriminate between good
laws and bad ones. My purpose is
discrimination and not opposition. In
order that we may see the difference
between wise laws and those that are
not wise, we must lay down certain
principles that will guide us in this
work. We must know what is, or
ought to be, the scope and purpose of
law. In order to make myself plain
and ineligible, let us consider insect
pests, fungoids and bacterial diseases
and the laws pertaining to these
things. That we should have laws
with penalties attached to them with
reference to the spread of these mala-
dies no one will question. 1t must
be the duty of some one to enforce
these laws.
But for what class of people are
these laws made and enforced, and
have we done all that we can and
ought to do in curtailing these evils
when we have made and enforced these
laws? We have not. We have divine
authority in saying that 1.-The law is
not made for the righteous man, but
for the lawless and disobedient." In
harmony with this statement we may
say that all our penal laws are made
to protect the good against the bad
in society. They are aimed at the
"lawless and the disobedient," and not
the righteous man. How many men
in this assembly are willing to stand
up and admit they are good in the
sense of being truthful, honest and
virtuous because they are afraid Of
the lash of the law? Not one! Such a
man would be hooted out of respect
able society. Honesty is the best of
