COST OF STOPPING TRAINS.

According to the calculation Of an ex-

from As cents for a train Of ten ordinary
passenger cars, to S161 for an express
train Of heavy drawing room cars. four
times the weight Of the other. These
figures were for a single set Of condi-
tiOns Where there is an upgrade the
expense is more than on a level, and
much more than on a down grade.

CHANGE RULES
OF HANDICAPS

A meeting of the Hawaii Yacht Club
was held a few days ago at which the
question of handicapping was taken up
at the request of a number OF the
Yacht owners, who desire that the sys-
TEN in vogue at present shall be chang
ed and that a system based on meas
urement shall be adopted. 1t was de-
cided to separate the first-class yachts
into two classes, the first to be called
No. I A and to include the Kameha-
rneha. Gladys and Kapolei, which are
all of a modern type and for their size
faster than the yachts in class No. B,
which include the La Paloma, Helene,
Hawaii and Spray.
The handicaps of class No. A
yachts will be determined by COMPARE
tive measurement between the boats in
this class and the same will be true
of the yachts in class No. l B, While
the previous records will be considered
in handicapping between the two
classes.
In regard to the second-class yachts
it was decided that it would not pay
to attempt to handicap by measure
ment till there were more boats OF
the Maggie,s class in the feet. When
this time arrives the new classification
will probably be made the rule
throughout the entire list of vessels
which carry the Hawaii Yacht Clubs
colors.

SCHOONER ROBERT
LEVERS L|HELED.

The American schooner Robert Z.
Levers, Captain Underwood, was libeled
yesterday. The libelant is Paul Peter
sen, lately second officer of the vessel,
who seeks about 5000. He alleges in
his libel that he holds license as
mate, that he shipped as second mate
September IA, at Port Gamble, and
that on October while still on the
high seas, without any fault of his own
Captain Underwood disrated him and
sent him into the foreeastle and made
him foremost hand.
For the humiliation he asks $3.50
damages, for a month s wages in lieu
of month 8 notice of discharge he
asks 500 and to enable him to get back
to the port whence he started he asks
$50.
Judge Dole permitted the suit to be
brought without the payment of costs
The suit is against the vessel, her
tackle, apparel, furniture and boats.

PLAYERS
FROM THE COAST

Mike Fisher, known to baseball fans
from Vancouver TO San Diego, from
the Sierras to the sea, is perfecting his
arrangements for an invasion of Ho-
nolulu with a ball team picked from
the best of the Pacific Coast League
players. The contracts with the Ha-
waiian management have been drawn
up and signed, the date has been set
for sailing, the team is practically
completed, and now nothing remains
but to climb on the big boat and veer
off through the Golden Gate to the
land of sugar.
Those who have already signed to
go with the ex-king of Tacoma are
Eastwood, Joy, Williams, Henley, Hill
debrand, Nealon, Donahue, Casey,
Heitmuller, Eagan, Devereaux and
Bliss. They are to set sail on Novem-
Der 18th on the steamer Alameda,
which will land them on Aloha-land
on November 22d.
A series of six games has been ar
ranged. After a days rest at the Sea-
side hotel, they will play the first game
with the Hawaiian team on Saturday
the 23d and the second on Sunday the
oath. The next game will be on
Thanksgiving Day, the 2Sth, when spe-
cial features will be added. The fol-
lowing Saturday and Sunday there will
be other games. and on Wednesday,
December the 4th, the last game of
the series will be played. This has
been set apart as Ladies' Day, afford
ing an opportunity to the bellies of the
island to look longingly at Nick Will
liams' blond curls and sigh soothingly
for Mikes toupee.
The excursion will mark the home
going of Barney Joy, and if anyone
thinks that the Honolulan will not be
given a big welcome, he is entitled to
another large guess. One of the first
things stipulated in the contract with
the deposed king of Tacoma was that
Joy was to pitch for the Hawaiian
team. Mike readily agreed to this and
also proffered them their choice Of his
three catchers, Bliss, Eastwood and
Donahue
OF course, Mike hasn't entirely COM
pleted his team yet. He is now look
ing our for bigger game than any he
has yet coaxed into his parlor. He
aims at none other than the great Bill
LANCE, who has evinced a willingness
TO make the trip if he can arrange his
business. Big Bill, in fact, seems more
than interested in the little jaunt, and,
though he has repeatedly said that he
is through with baseball forever, it is
still possible that he may get back into
the game-just for the sake Of the trip.

THE LIGHTHOUSE
POINT GOES SOON

Lighthouse point in Honolulu harbol
will disappear very shortly. Work OF
dredging it out will begin within 1
month or so.
The dredging viii start at the cor.
ner of the Quarantine wharf straight
across to a point almost due east OF
the front range light site. This will
give steamships entering and depart
ing from the harbor very much bet
ter chance to turn and maneuver. II
is expected that the work will be fully
completed by February next.
Later the harbor is to be dredged
to a uniform width OF 1900 feet. This
will be done by dredging out strip
along the entire makai side of the har-
Dor. This will necessitate the moving
of the Quarantine wharf back nearly
a hundred feet.

WILD WEST SHOW
ON DECEMBER 4

The preparations for the Wild West
Show which has been started through
the efforts of Eben Low, while on his
trip through the mainland and which
are the result of his presence at the
Frontier Day sports in Cheyenne, wyo.,
are booming at present. The date has
been set for December II and c. r,
Frazier has been appointed the man.
ager of the affair. From the present
indications there will be a widespread
interest taken in the rough riding and
roping, which will be the principal
sports of the day, all over the Terri
tory.
Angus McPhee, the champion roper
of the world, Will arrive in this city.
accompanied by his wife and possibly
by one or two cow punchers from
the Western States, in the latter part
of November and will be here for a
couple of weeks before the contests
take place. in order that he may FAM
iliarize himself with the conditions. In
the Frontier Day sports at Cheyenne
he not only won the championship but
also broke all the existing records for
roping, throwing and tying a steer.
According TO news brought from Ha-
waii by Sam Parker Jr., who is at
present in this city, the cowboys on
that island are enthusiastic over the
coming carnival, and will come down
here in great numbers. They are cut
ting down their allowances of square
face and saving their money for the
trip and will endeavor to show the
Westerners that they, too, know some
thing OF the ways and manners of the
elusive steer.
The Wild West carnival will be CIV
en- as a benefit for the fund being rails
ed for the Transpacific yacht. 1t will
be held at the baseball grounds and
a dicker has been made with the trus-
tees whereby they will receive twenty
five per cent. of the gross receipts of
the day as their share. The remain
ing seventy-five per cent. will be used.
first, TO defray the expenses, and then
will be divided in two, one-half to go
to those who have had charge of the
affair and the other TO the Yacht Com
mittee. The last time an affair of this
kind was held, it was at Kapiolani
park and there was a great deal of
interest taken and it was a great sue
cess financially, the profits being given
TO one of the local charities.

All of these ships have just returned

George Gould says that no rail

no one wants you to borrow money.
Every time q railway EorroWs more
money, the people are compelled to
pay the loan. Railway loans are not
made on the value of the railway but
CIR the privilege the railway is given OF
taxing the people, SO that more rail-
way loans mean more taxes. Mr..
Stickney has a railway that is reck-
oned to be worth twenty eight thous-

A BUNCH OF ROSES.

AT regatta ON Lake Lucerne the
whole surface of the lake was strewed
with roses.
The rose has through all time been
the symbol Of the purity and charm of
girlhood.
Spartan soldiers after the battle Of
Cirrha refused offerings of wine unless
1t was perfumed with roses
The rose seems to have long been
the symbol Of silence 1t has been
suggested that the utter inability to
set forth the charms of the rose has
admonished to silence.
Sweet as the fragrance of garden
is the Persian fable Of the lump Of
clay which gave to the air perfume
that f1oated over the garden walls Of
fair Iran. II have been dwelling with
roses" said the clay.
In Bulgaria and Roumania, which
are great centers for the manufacture
Of altar Of roses, damask roses are ex-
clusively used. These are gathered at
dawn, just as the buds begin to unfold,
and the essence is distilled from them
before the sun sets.-Circle.
