SECURITY FOR
costs IS ASKED

Answers were filed yesterday by the
Hawaiian Gazette Company and Wal
ter G. Smith in the FIVE libel suits
brought against them by John w.
Cathcart. The answers are the same in
each case; every allegation in the
complaints is denied.
Application was made yesterday BY
the defendants for rule against
Cathcart to show cause why he should
not be required to give security for
costs. These applications are support
ed in each case by an affidavit by L.
A. Thurston, in which he alleges on in.
formation and belief that the plaintiff,
Cathcart, is wholly without means and
insolvent, and that in the event of
judgment being rendered in favor of
the defendant, the plaintiff could not
pay any judgment for costs which
might be rendered against him in the
action. The affidavit alleges that the
costs will probably be considerable, as
there will be required considerable
number of witnesses, and that the ac-
ton may take a week to try. Two
hundred and fifty dollars at least is
given as the probable amount of costs
to which the defendants will be enti-
tied in the action if judgment is rem
dered in their favor. 1T is also stated
that it may be necessary to secure the
testimony of witnesses on the main
land of the United States. The affi-
davit is the same in each of the five
cases. 5 I'd Blr
Judge De Bolt entered an order in
each case requiring the plaintiff to an
swer the rule to show cause on Mon
day morning, November %, at 9
o'clock, and meanwhile all proceed
ings otherwise in the case are stayed.

PRIZE VENUS EATS 4.
ANYTHING She Likes

NEW YORK, November 9.-Most
women would pay $4,000 to be a
"prize Venus" Miss Maude O'Dell
has been paid $4,000 just because she
is one.
1t was somewhat pardonably ex-
cited, modishy attired and well.nigh
bewildered Venus that arose to invite
admission to her apartments In the
Hotel Empire. Scarcely two hours had
passed since she had left the steamship
Arabic of the White Star line, and al
ready she had encountered the perils
and sensations of her hrst ride in an
elevated train.
Miss O'Dell, who is undeniably
young, eats whatever she likes and
drinks whatever she wants of claret,
Burgundy and champagne. She also
smokes one, two or three cigarettes a
day-because she likes to. In spite of
these trifiing indulgences, however, she
still manages not to allow her waist to
exceed "a inches, her neck 1919 inches
her bust 40 inches and her hips AZ
inches; the ideal proportions for heI
height, five feet eight inches.
"No, have no set hours or rules fol-
