DARK AND BLOODY GROUND"

10 the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Why is kentucky sometimes called
the Dark and Bloody Ground?'
II. c. P.
before the white nal began to ex-
plore Kentucky, about the middle of
the eighteenth century, the region was
a vast hunting ground for many large
tribes of the South, North and East,
and between these tribes there was
continuous conflict for the possession
of the rich game privileges. Later on,
when the white peope settled in the
territory, their struggle with the red
men was more bitter than in almost
any other section of the continent,
hence the name.-Ed.1

the top of Halemaumau that the i'm
pressiveness of the tremendous activi-
ties presented, are not blurred or MINI
mized by the lack of perspective. 1t Is
near enough so that the actual flow

can be followed.

ought to fail to visit it. I have yet
to find anyone who has seen it who
would part with the experience and the
recollection.
The best time to visit the pit is at
night. The acres of fire with its foun.
tains of molten lava light up the greas
pit, and the glow of the white hot
liquid, contrasting with the darkness,
produces an effect that is awe-inspiring.
But it must be seen by daylight, as
well, if one would understand the rela-
tion of the flows and counterfows. the
swish, and ebullition, and the great
geysers of fire which are elements of
the night spectacle. Not that daylight

There is a quaint old fairy story in
which a beggar finds a ring which,
when he rubs it and wishes for any
thing. causes unseen hands to bring the
wished-for object and set it in front
of the wisher. The beggar calls for
food, and Immediately a delightful re-
past is set before him; for music, and
unseen instruments discourse for his
benefit; for wine, and the liquid bub-
bles foom the air into a glass that ap-
pears before him.
That is very good simile for de-
seription of the trip to Maui for the
harvest home and tennis and polo tour
naments. The hands that served were
hot unseen, and one did not have to
rub a ring, not even wish, because
all wishes were anticipated, and it
would be an idle man indeed who could
have time to wish for anything.

At the risk of being tedious let me
describe as best I can, the setting, as
it were, of the spectacle. The great
crater of Kilanea is irregularly circular
in form something like three miles in
its longest diameter. It's walls rise ap-
proximately thousand feet. The floor
of this crater is a great black area ris-
ing gradually from the wall on all sides
toward the center, where it is highest.
It is not quite the center either but
toward the southeasterly portion of the
area where it is highest, perhaps two
hundred feet higher than at the edges.
And it is right in this highest spot
where Halemaumau, a great bit, drops,

THWING AS SLATE MAKER.
Tt was reported yesterday that the
Rev. E. w. Thwing was at work pre-

none of these candidates have been

LANAI Rath for Sheriff.
Mr. Rath possesses some of the quail
ifieations necessary for the Office His
zeal as worker for what is right and
straightforward is recognized, his own
straightforwardness and honesty are
unquestioned, and he has an intimate
knowledge of the Honolulu underworld
gained in his settlement work. Those
who know him best recognize the fact
that he is neither bigot nor fanatic,
but his chances of either nomination
or election to the Office into which Mr..
Thwing would elevate him are about as
good as the chances for Mr.. Thwing
himself to be chosen on a popular vote
for Mayor.
ATTENDANCE AT PRIMARIES.
Tt is to be hoped, however, that the
rebuffs Thwing is certain to be met
with in his matchmaking will not dis
courage him from attending his party
precinct nominations for delegates to
the two conventions, nor from -hustling
round among the voters and securing
the attendance of all his friends.
The nominations among the Demo
Gratis will be held in the various pre-
cincts next Thursday night, and voters
who have signed the Democratic pre-
cinct rolls may take part. The Repub
lican nominations will be made at tbs
precinct meetings on the evening OF
Friday of next week, the 2Sth instant
Only those voters may take part who
have signed the precinct club rolls.
1t is important to remember. that
these nominations are for delegates tc
both the Territorial and county con
ventions and that only those regularly
nominated can be elected at the meet
ing a week after the nominations ant
sent to represent the voters in the Sc
lection of the party candidates.
Voters who have the proper interes'
in the government of the Territory
and county will see without delay tha
their names are on the roll of theil

ings in their precinct. In this way
only can there be any assurance thai

MARRIAGE PR0FANE'
When Entered Into by Young
Woman for Old Mans
Money.
COURT DENIED DECREE.

Omaha, Neb.. Aug. 1T.-"Such mar
riages as these profane the most sa-
cred relations of society. and are a
scandal and disgrace to the commun-
ity," said Judge Kennedy in refusing
TO grant a divorce to Mrs. Julia nj.
Pratt, wife of Col. J. H. Pratt widely
known western rancher. and rated as
a millionaire.
Mrs Pratt married the colonel four
years ago, she being 50 and he IS.
In her testimony she admitted she
married him because he was wealthy,
and that she had no love for him
whatever. She charged physical in
competence. habitual drunkenness and
failure to provide. Judge Kennedy
said Mrs. Kennedy knew her husbands
age when she married him, and knew
what to expect. He declared the two
latter charges had not been proven.
Col. Pratt. in replying to the petit
ton, also filed a cross bill for divorce
but this was also denied, leaving them
in the same relation to each other
that they were before the suit was in
stituted.
The case created a sensation in
Omaha society and the court room
was crowded with the morbidly GU
rious throughout the trial. Mrs. Pratt S
daughter by former husband, hand
some girl of eighteen. was among the
witnesses.
