the market as part of the practical
subject of horticulture.
Following this experience he was ccr
eleven months with the Munger Fruit
Farm of Eureka, Kansas, as superin-
tendent of the apple and pear orchards
of this company, which was a big one,
having as many as q, 200 trees in one
orchard. The pruning of these inn
mense orchards alone was a stupen-
dous undertaking, and was carried on
throughout the year, from four to
eleven men being engaged in it all
the time.
From this work Mr.. Pope was called
to the chair of horticulture at the Ma
tional Farm School at Doylestown,
near Philadelphia, in February, 1900.
At this institution his department in
cluded Horticulture and landscape gar
dening.
In 1902 he was about to enter Cor
nell University for postgraduate work,
when he was urged by Prof Roberts
of Cornell, professor of agriculture in
that institution, to accept the request
from the HonolulN Normal School that
he come to that institution, the request
for someone coming to Prof. Roberts.
and the latter urging him to accept
it.
His connection with the Normal
School began in September. 1902. and
he has been at the head of the science
department ever since, that depart
ment including agriculture, nature
study, chemistry, physics and botany,
and such garden and other agriculture
work as it has been possible to carry
on. During much of this time he has
been vice principal of the Normal
School.
Prof. Pope married July II, 1906, in
Los Angeles, Miss Romick of that city.

Picturesque Honolulu Has Made
a Hit---Many Copies
to the Coast.


Picturesque Honolulu. which was is
sued at noon yesterday, has certainly
proved the best seller of any pubH-
cation of the kind ever issued in Ho-
nolulu.
It was announced that it would be
issued at noon yesterday, and from
that hour until five o'clock, when the
business office of the Gazette Company
closed, there was a constant stream of
people going in and out of the office
to secure copies, Many people bought
as many as a dozen or twenty copies
and scarcely anyone took less than
three or four.
appreciable at the Postofice very
shortly. Hundreds of people sent
copies of the publication, which were
wrapped ready for mailing before de-
livery to purchasers, to friends on the
mainland, by the mail that went by
the Siberia. The mail was appreciably
increased by the number of copies of
this publication which were put into
the Postoffice. When Wallace jackson
drove to the Hackfeld wharf with the
big truck loaded high with mail bags,
there were a number of bags wholly
filled with copies of Picturesque Ho-
nolulu being sent to the mainland
People were seen stopping along the
streets all over town to read some ar
ticle in the publication which had at
tracted their attention. It was talked
about everywhere. Many expressions
of approval and pgaise were heard. 'It
is good promotion literature was one
of the expressions that was reiterated
scores of times.
T,uring the day 1887 copies of the
publication were passed over the coun-
ter to purchasers and subscribers to
the Advertiser, and there were orders
by telephone from all parts of the
city.
It certainly has made hit, and the
is very much gratif1ed at
the evidence the public has given that
it approves it.
A large edition was printed and it is
going rapidly. It is one of the sue
cesses OF the season.

WARM DEFENSE
Of BARNEY JOY
Has He Been Dealt With HarshIy
or Unfairly?---What
Hughes Says.

There is feeling growing among
those who are interested in baseball
wholly from interest in the sport, that
Barney Joy has been dealt with more
harshly and unkindly. than he de-
serves in the controversies that have
been raging and the criticisms that
have been passed about in the past
few days.
There was quite a discussion of the
matter on King street about / O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, in front of the
Grill. There were a large number OF
baseball enthusiasts there talking
about the game in general. and John
Hughes asked Mique Fisher why he
was so bitter against JOY. Fisher
replied that it was because of a re-
mark Joy made TO Gleason in the
dressing in regard to the pro-
posal then being considered of a sew
enty-five and twenty-five per cent. df-
vision Of gate receipts between the
Coast players and the St. Louis team.
Hughes urged that chance and care
less remarks like that ought not to
be taken too seriously, nor too much
stress laid on them; that if we We're
all held to every careless or uncon-
remark we made none of US
could escape the severest censure.
Whatever you say about Joy or his
playing" said Hughes afterwards, ''the
fact remains that it was through him
and because of him that the Coast
players were brought down here and
that the lovers of the game are hav-
ing the present opportunity of seeing
the high-class playing that we have.
JOY was the best player down here.
as the record shows. He was well
liked He was popular. There was a
good deal of pride taken in the fact
t{at he was considered a good enough
player to be called TO the Coast. 1t

could be ratified, and advantage was
taken of that. But he is good

temporary Dean of the College of Ag-

proceed with the organization of its
different departments and the inaugu-

The appointment was formally made
yesterday afternoon at meeting of

sultation with Professor Pope and with
Superintendent Babbitt and Principal
Wood of the Normal School The offer
of the position came to Prof. Pope
from the Board of Regents after they
had satisfied themselves of his fitness
and ability for the position.
1t is not yet known how far Dean
Roadhouse had proceeded with the Sc

Dean Pope will take up this work
where it was left at the death of Mr..
,Roadhouse, and proceed at once with
the planning of curriculum, the ar
rangement of. courses of study, the
organization of a faculty and the
topening of the institution. 1t is hoped
that actual instruction may begin Feb
