WARM DEFENSE
Of BARNEY JOY
CFrom Saturdays Advertiser.)

NfTOm saturday AQEertlSer.)
There is a 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 l 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-room in regard to the pro-
posal then being considered of sew
enty-five and twenty-five per cent. d.
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 were
all held to every careless or uncon-
sidered 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 .he record shows. He was well |
liked. He was popular. There was a |
good deal of pride taken in the fact /
that he was considered a good enough /
player to be called to the Coast. 1t
is true he had a vulnerable spot. He
could be ratified, and advantage was
taken of that. But he is a good
player. He helped get the Coast play
ers down here. If he hadn't been up
there and playing in the Coast League
the past session, it is not likely that
the Coast players would have come
down here.
Whatever his faults since he has
been back here, he has never lacked
oyalty to Honolulu, and he deserves
better than to be passed up like a last
years almanac"
There were many in the crowd who
agreed with Hughes sentiments.

BEST SELLER
OF THE SEASON
CFrom saturdays Advertiser.)

CFrom Saturdays Advertiser.)
Picturesque Honolulu. which was is
sued at noon yesterday, has certainly
proved the best seller OF any publ
cation of the kind ever issued in Ho-
nolulu.
1t was announced that II 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 ONCE
to secure copies. Many people bought
as many as a dozen or twenty copies
and scarcely anyone took less than
three or four.
The extent of the sale began to be
appreciate 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
filed with copies of Picturesque Ho-
nolulu being sent to the mainland.
People were seem 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 praise were heard cit
is good promotion literature" was one
of the expressions that was reiterated
scores OF times.
During the day 5ss7 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.
1t certainly has made hit. and the
Advertiser is very much gratified at
the evidence the public has given that
il approves ii.
A large edition was printed and it is
going rapidly. 1t is one of the sue
cesses of the season.

HOW CAPTAIN
JOHNSON DIED

Captain Johnson Of the schooner
Mary E. Foster received full particu-
lars Of the death OF his brother. Cap
tain Arthur johnson. from exposure
when his vessel, the bark Prussia, had
been wrecked at Staten Island. A half
brother of Captain Johnson. residing
In Providence. r. l., went to New
York and interviewed the carpenter OF
the Inflated vessel. and wrote the facts
to Captain Johnson of the Mary E
Foster. whose wife has communicated
them from Aberdeen, Wash, to q
friend in Honolulu.
The loss OF the Prussia, bound for
Honolulu with coal, was reported in
the Advertiser from San Francisco
paper. It was supposed the crew was
lost. BY the following account. from
the letter just mentioned. II will be
rescued from the scene Of the ship
wreck after enduring exposure and
privation forty-three days:
At midnight Of June IS, in terrible
storm on Cape Horn. the bark Prus-
STA, laboring under lower topsails. was
wrecked or Staten Island. The Prus-
sia struck before anyone realized it
and all hands were obliged to jump
for their lives.
Captain Johnson and the carpenter
were washed ashore together. SO ex-
hausted that they could not stand
up. They managed to crawl along the
beach to a place OF shelter beneath
the impossible cliffs.

penter replied.
well. I will not last much longer"
the sick man said. and in a few min
utes Captain Arthur Johnson passed
away. He was buried on the beach.
Two men scaled the cliffs to light
fire as a beacon Of distress.
Two days later one OF the men froze
to death, the other returning with
both feet frozen.
For forty-three days the eleven sur
vivors subsisted upon seal.
The carpenter constructed a frail
craft from wreckage and, having no
tools, 1t took him month to get the
float ready.
Three men started out on the craft
and. working in and out the inlets
close in shore, reached the lighthouse
thirty miles distant. Here a. crew was
secured and all started for the beach.
taking two weeks to reach the rest OF
the party.
Captain George Johnson was much
broken up by the. first news of the
wreck of the Prussia, but was re-
lieved in mind very much to know.
from his half-brother's letter, that his
brother did not have long period Of
agony before death.
When Mrs. Johnson wrote. November

EVERETT ADDS TO
HIS BAD RECORD

For the second time within three
months. Joe Everett, the negro hack
driver, is in Jail on charge of horse
stealing. 1t is alleged that he helped
himself to the hack horse of an old
driver named Huggins. took the ami
NAL up Nuuanu Valley and sold it for
$50. He was up before Judge Andrade
yesterday and committed to the Cir
cult Court.
Everett, who acquired fame last
summer as a baseball magnate in the
Aala League, has been on the police
records many times Of late and will
probably be given a lengthy sentence
if this latest charge is proven. He
served six months for the burglary Of
the Fashion Saloon, was arrested for
horse stealing as soon as liberated,
but acquitted. Next he was sentenced
to, six months for larceny and now
has two cases against him, embezzle-
ment and horse stealing.

TRUE STORY OF
THE DOG BITE

1T is true that I was bitten by a
dog" said Chief Justice Hartwell, "but
IL was not the Carter dog; 1t was the
Holloway dog. Ny dog was not guilty
OF contempt Of court In refusing to
stay at home. On the contrary. was
very glad to have him go with me.
when went over to the Carriers to
call We were passing the Holloway
place when Holloway's two dogs at
tackled him. 1t il not true that he
fed with bowls Of terror. It would
have been better IL he had. But he
Is not that kind Of dog. He battled
for his rights as he understood them.
Every dog has his day, and he SEEM
ed to think this was his day. One of
the Holloway dogs is q large one and
the other is not so large. My dog
battled with them both. am not
prepared to say that he would not
have won. But 80 much dog anger and
excitement had been aroused, and the
battle had ranged over into the Car
ter premises, that I, fearing the ARRAY
might brighten the children, attempted
to interfere to take my dog out Of
the conflict. 1t was In trying to do
this that my hand was bitten, show
ing that there was much excitement
among the dogs. or.it never would
have happened.
II make this statement only because,
the matter having become public. I
would not have versions Of the affair
unjust or injurious to the dogs go to
the public unchallenged.
II think can speak on this subject
as an authority, for this Is not the
first time I have been bitten by q
dog. But 1t was not Kalakaua's dog
that bit me before, but Kamehameha
VS. dog, and 1t was not because I
sought to be friendly with the dog,
but because the dog sought to be
friendly with me and I repulsed his
friendly overtures. But he did not bite
a piece out of me; he only bit me. I
only speak of this for the sake of
historical accuracy. That dog is a dog
gone; so is his bite, which makes Gold
smiths immortal ballad not only
history. but a prophecy:
But soon wonder came to light,
Which showed the rogues they lied;
The man recovered of the bite
The dog, 1t was. that died.

ANOTHER PlKE TRICK

smartness cost him IS and costs yes

the Board of Health objects to, so Lau

vegetables and started out among his
customers The scheme might not
have been discovered had he not dis

complaint against him was laid.
