WILD FOWL IN LAKE OF CRATER.
Hunters Find Plenty of Duck shootinI

Hunters Find Plenty of Duck Shooting
 in Hawaiian Volcano.
 A climb up the thinly greened sides of grim old Diamond Head is well worth while these days, for, besides the magnificent view obtainable from the crater's rim, says the Honolulu Com mereial Advertiser there is a lake of quite respectable dimensions inside.
 Last summer there was no lake In the crater. The soil was a little damp CT in the uowest part and the grass grew lushly that was all
 The recent rains have formed the lake, which is about three-quarters of a mile in circumference. The depth a short way from the edges is about two and half feet.
 Here and there in the lake the top branches of mimosa bush are seen. Near the water line thicket of glue bushes and algarrbas extends clear around, through which on account of the thorns, a way is with difficulty made.
 In the early morning wild duck may Dt 1OuHu III lit 1dht dllQ SCNCld dl lletN v been shot of late. The birds come in about sundown and leave for their feeding grounds soon after dawn. Shooting duck in a crater is form of sport which should appeal to even a veteran sportsman.
 There are several coot in the lake at present, glossy blue black fellows, with gray Hanged feet, white feshy plate on the top of the head and a white bill Very wary are these birds keeping well out into the middle of the water. A shot will drive them to the shelter of the bushes, however, and there, if crtftily stalked, a shot may occasional ly be obtained at them.
 The flesh of these water coots Is sweet and succulent. The crops of two, which were opened last week, were filled with some kind of green weed. One of the birds was in an early stage of egg production
 Wading along the edge of the lake Is treacherous work, for mud holes abound and person is up to his neck in mud of particularly holding de- scription before he realizes what has happened.

 pressive scene when several hundred people prostrate themselves in wor- ship, even though it may be formal ity.
 The pulpit is of masonry at the side of the mosque. The preacher, who IS the most prominent member of his profession in this district, climbed into it at the close of the prayers, while a. dervish chanted an Arabic hymn. Af- ter a prayer in Arabic by the preacher he read an Arabic text, and he pro- ceeded with his sermon. There was very little in it to which l could not say amen. My companion though that the sermon received it's shape some what from the preachers seeing me among his auditors. He said that their religion demanded that Christians should be treated in all kindness, that along with the Koran they accepted the Old Testiment and the New, that the motive determines the quality of the act, that eating in secret which protesting outwardly to keep a fast could not be accepted, that God had two books for his sins, one for those committed in secret, which were of less harm than those which were com mitted before others to their being led astray, and these were recorded in an- other book, etc. etc. The sermon last ed for more than an hour. It rambled, of course, but it touched upon almost every matter of practical morality, so that fter we left the mosque l said to several officials that if they would practice what they had just heard, the country would be reformed at once That is a different matter" they said i've understand what is rig'lt, but no one does it." The preacher also confessed that 'ew' heroachwp aaww confessed that Eve who preach don't pretice what we preach" It is a good thing, however, to have the attention iealled to the essential priciples of true morality. I was surprised at the em- phasis put upon the motives which ile back of the outward act, for l have been told by the Moslems that we are judged by what we do, and not what we think The preacher repeated sev- eral times.

MILTON H. HARDY.

One of the most highly respected cit izens of Montville passed on to his re- ward February 1e in the person of Milton H. Hardy at the residence of his son-in-law, Supt. R. c. McMeehan of Uncasville, after a heightened and honorable career of 72 years.
 MT. Hardy was born in Francestown, N. H., Jan. 1, 1885, his parents being Herman Hardy and Relief Hopkins, a highly esteemed couple of that place. When a young man he removed to Greenville in that state, where he was also prominent in the affairs of the town, serving it in various capacities, being selectman, highway surveyor, as- 4sessor, street commissioner, member of the board of education, overseer of the poor and was postmaster and trustee of the Mason Village Savings bank of that town for many years. In Green vile he married Miss Mary Jane Mar shall, daughter of Dr. Thomas Mar shall, who in his day was conceded to be the most eminent physician in southern New Hampshire, and who with her daughter, Mrs McMeehan, survive him. He also leaves a brother Harrison Hardy, of South Farming ham, Mass.
 From Greenville Mir Hardy went to Clinton, Mass, where he was general manager of the Clinton Ice Company for several years and member of Clinton lodges of I. o. o. F. and A. F, and A. M. and of E. D. Baker Post, G. A. R.
 When the war of the rebellion broke out MT. Hardy was one of the first of New Hampshire's quota to volunteer, being first lieutenant of Company G.. Thirteenth New Hampshire and served with much distinction.
 In politics MT. Hardy acted with the republican party, but his public service has been of a nature to gain the es- teem and confidence of all parties ir- respective of politics.

A MoHAMMEDAN SERMON.

Preached at the Mosque in Harpoot,
 Turkey, Good for all to Hear
 We are as I write, in the midst of the sacred Mohammedan month of fasting, Ramazan, Not only must no food or drink pass the lips from be- fore daylight till after sunset, but the Koran must be read througtl, there is daily preaching in the mosques, more time Is given to prayer, and in other ways past offenses are to be atoned for and good works laid up in credit for the time to come. Yesterday, in a call upon our vali-governor general told him that I had heard that he had directed that the preachers should give their attention to practical af- fairs He replied; "Yes, I have told them that we know all about heaven and hell and the future life, but we need to be taught how to conduct our- selves in this life, how to be good citi- zens. Instead of prosy exegesses upon tkle Koran, we need to be taught how | to behave toward one another and to- ward the Government" I told him that this is what President Roosevelt is preaching on all occasions. The vali himself is a faithful attendant upon all the preaching services in the mos- que near his residence.
 It is not customary for Christians to attend the mosque services, as they have the impression that it is not agreeable to the worshippers there. I Listened to a sermon in a mosque many years ago, which was upon the duty of the pilgrimage to Mecca, and l had a curiosity to hear good sermon of the kind that our good vali was de- manding so when the muezzin gave the call to the midafternoon prayer l took a native friend with me and en- tered the mosque There was a large congregation, and they were engaged in prayer, all facing the south toward their sacred temple of Mecca. Until this part of the service was finished We stood at the back of the congrega- J tion. This is an interesting sight al- though I tried to lift up my own heart in prayer for a blessing upon the service, even though to the most of those engaged in it, it was a matter of form, probably. The prayer was mostly ejaculations in Arabic, uttered in loud voice by the leader, while all followed him in kneeling, lowing with the forehead to the floor, retain ing that position for considerable time, then another uterance rising to their feet and again prostrating them selves, As it is Ramaxan, this service is prolonged beyond the usual time The most common ejaculation was Allah AIbar"-God is great-and with each utterance the position of the body was changed Tue congregation was seated ill rows, and it is an i'm

OFFICIAL WATCH INSPECTOR,

An Important Man When 1t Comes to
 Running a Railroad These Days
 Next to the train dispatcher the one man in the railroad service upon whom the safety of life and property most depends Is the official watch inspector
 Not many persons know that every railroad entering Kansas City has in it's employ an expert whose duty 1t is to inspect the watches of the employees One of these looks after five hundred watches belonging to railroad men and keeps them regulated and in good run ming order. The lives of hundreds of passengers depend upon him doing his work we'll. He is the official watch inspector and time-piece regulator for three roads.
 f a watch is no more than thirty seconds "off" when it is inspected, it is tset" anl returned to the owner If the watch is more than thirty seconds off it is regulated, cleaned or repaired, as the case may demand.
 The watches are taken to him for in- spection once a week. The railroad re- aunes all employees from the depot agents and engineers down to porters to have their watches inspected. When a watch is submitted the name of the owner, the number of the watch and the number of seconds it is off" if any. are recorded. These reports are submitted to the railroad officials at regular intervals. Should an employe be blamed for a wreck lor accident, and lay the blame to his watch, these rec ords will show the exact condition of his watch and how 1t has been keeping | time.
 Some of the watches inspected art remarkably accurate. A watch ownet

Cornell Takes Informal Match in
 Judges Absence.
 The fencing meet scheduled for last evening between Yale, Harvard and Cornell, did not take place, owing to the fact that the judges failed to come up from New York. In order not to dlsappoint the spectators it was de- cided to hold an informal match, with the managers of the three teams as judges. Since it was not formal match, the results of the individual bouts were not given out, but Cornell was judged first, with Yale and liar yard second and third respectively.
 After the match Captain Staley of the Yale team said that Cornell was easily the best team, an dthat their method of rushing ani forcing the fighting gave them great advantage. The Yale team" he said, must quicken their guard to be a match or the Cornell men," But none of the bouts were at all slow, and there was deal of very pretty fencing.

INDIAN GOVERNMENTS.

"The idea which seems to be preva- lent in the east that the Indians of the Indian Territory still live in tepees and tents and go about naked should be relegatea to the rear with that anti quated idea that all men of the west are wild and woolly," said Judge J. H. Shepard of McAlester, l. T,
 Tt is true that some of the Indians live in shacks, but as rule they have comfortable homes, many of them liv- ing in mansions. And they live as white people do. The average Indian, a member of one of the Five Civilized Tribes, is equal to the average white person in the territory in education. They have their own schools where
