ENCOURAGING REPORT.
Quite number of prominent oyster
men from York county, who visited
Hampton yesterday, denied the reports
eminating from other oystermen in
that section as to the great scarcity of
the bivalves on the James river rocks.
Among the men here yesterday, who
told Oyster Inspector William E. Law
son that the reports are greatly exag-
gerated, were: Messrs. w. S. Rollins, j.
B. Simpson, j. L. Ward, o. X. Ward.
j. M. Huggett, w. F. Forest, jr.. and
j. A. Bunting.
Mr.. Rollins declared that the boats
are catching an average of 10 bushels
per day on Nansemond Ridge and that
the small oysters are more plentiful
than in many years. He said the price
has increased during the past several
days from 35 to so cents per bushel.
Oyster Inspector Lawson said yester-
day that the reports coming to him
show that the season has not been as
good as in former years, but he declares
the reports of the barrenness of the
State rocks are absolutely misleading
and greatly exaggerated.

caused mud TO be dumped about. thus
driving the fish from the Chesapeake
bay. Fish do not abound In muddy
waters Mr.. Mccoy asserted, and this
was substantiated by Chairman Lee.
Others who spoke were: George P.
Squires, engaged in menhadep fishing;
Or. George Sneed, member of the Leg
islature from Princess Anne county;
Charles j. Colonna, Park Poindexter
and others. -.
The discussion covered q period as far
back as 1856, when it was stated by one
speaker, that thousands of bushels of fish
were caught which could not be used. liz
was pointed out by other speakers that
there is considerably more demand for
hsh nowadays, and that there is a
market for all that are caught and
more too.
The opinions offered by the speakers
differed widely, representatives of the
menhaden fisheries contending that
their operations will not result in the
determination of the food fishes. as has
been claimed. 1t was asserted by some
That the menhaden steamers really do
not take enough foolish to supply
their crews, while others alleged that
they not only take large cate hes of
edible fish which are shipped to Northern
markets. butfrequently these food-fishes
are converted into oil and fertilizers at
the fish factories of the Western shores
of Chesapeake bay.
Some of the speakers were for lepis-
lating the menhaden fisheries out of bust
ness entirely, while Others, Including
Chairman Lee, favored the enactment
of laws which would permit heavy pen
alties to be imposed upon any persons
who violate the laws regulating the
taking of fish in Virginia waters.
Mr.. Claude N. Markham. renresan-
tative in the Legislature from Ports
mouth, said that if the people of the
western shore have so many edible fish
that they have to convert them into fer
tilizer, it would be well to send some
of them this way.
IF reelected, will vote to stop
catching fish by either seines, pound
nets or steam vessels, said the speaker.

AQUARIUM BEING
VISITED BY SAILORS

One of the show places in the city
which is being visited by very many
of the sailors ashore is the Aquarium,
at Waikiki. On Friday the number of
bluejackets who found their way out
to the fish tanks was about four hun
dred, while on Saturday, the free day,
fully thousand of the boys maryeled
at the colored fishes. Yesterday be-
tween six and seven hundred paid their
way in, and it is expected that at least
thousand more will visit the Aquar-
ium this week
The sailors are missing one of the
oldtimers of the tanks, the big, barna-
cled turtle that used to swim leisurely
about and which was known by every
child in the city The turtle escaped
during the big high tide three weeks
ago and is now enjoying his liberty
somewhere in the broad Pacific. At
the high tide period the waves smash
ed in the trap of heavy boards placed
by Manager Potter across the overflow
exit of the tank, and it is surmised that
the waters rushing out carried the
turtle along with them to open water.
The escape was noted after only a few
minutes had elapsed and Manager Pot
ter at once got out his boat TO attempt
to locate and recapture the big pet, who
was so tame that it was thought he
would hang around close to his old
home. The turtle had made other ar
however, and has not been
seen since.

TELLS Of
FEELING IN HAWAII

SAN FRANCISCO, July 8.-Jarnes r.
arrived on the cruiser st. Louis Mon
day night after an official visit of two
weeks to the Hawaiian Islands, was
very much interested yesterday in
learning what the city had done to-
ward acquiring the Hetch Hetchy wa
ter supply system. When he was told
that the first payment of $4,000 for Sc
curing the property owned in the val
ley by Elmer Smith had been raised
by popular subscriptions he was very
much pleased and said:
THAT is bully. am glad the city is
going ahead with the proposition. Per-
sonally, 1 have not given the matter
much thought since 1 was here last. It
is now in the hands of the people of
San Francisco"
What recommendations he will make
as the result of his investigations in the
Hawaiian Islands the secretary very
frankly said he was not at liberty to
divulge. He reiterated his statement
that the islands are quite free of dis
turbance, industrial or political.
He was told that number of the
Hawaiian delegates to the national con
ventions had expressed a hope while So
journing in this city that a plank would
be introduced into the party platforms
calling for a revision of the exclusion
laws, so far as the islands were con-
cerned, the reason being given that
oriental laborers were vitality necessary
for the prosperity of the great planta-
tons.
I'm the islands, the secretary an
swered, II heard nothing of such a
proposition. There was absolutely no
agitation along these lines
Concerning the Importation of Portu-
guese laborers into the plantations,
Garfield said:
I'VE have stopped all that. The intro
ductio1 of the Portuguese and other
foreign laborers was undertaken by
private enterprise and was contrary to
the alien contract law. Further dis
cussion of this problem will be heard
at the meeting of the next Congress.
At present there is no agitation on the
subject"
Garfield left last night for the north.
He will stop at Portland and inspect
the reclamation projects along the
Willamette and the Indian reserva-
lions. He will visit Idaho, Utah, wy
oming, New Mexico and Kansas before
returning to Washington.

HAWAII COUNTY
HAS THREE BANDS

The Island of Hawaii is becoming
musical, or, at least, more so than it
has been in the past, for it now has
three bands running, one at Hilo, an
other in Kona, and the other at Kau.
When steamer carrying some distin-
guished people went to Napoopoo re-
Gently, the Kona band was taken
aboard. The bandsmen played often,
and, according to reports, made dis
tinct hit with Honolulans. It is di-
rected by a former Kamehameha
student. The Kau band is said to play
under the leadership of Senator Hewitt
of Waiohinu.
The County of Hawaii is reported to
pay $50 a month toward the support
of each of these county bands The
people of the Kona and Kau districts
enjoy their bands, and the money is
considered well spent.

PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Hawaiian yacht Hawaii brought
back with her yesterday another guest
for the city, Norman Densham, press
correspondent, who joined the yacht at

lulu as the representative of the Ad-
vertiser and the Los Angeles Examiner.

Eugene Walter, the extraordinarily
successful young playwright, said at a
recent dinner in his honor in New
York:
1.-the playwright, to succeed, must
make his point inevitably. Every point,
by fair means or foul, must be cap
tured. Not loophole, for failure to
creep in, may be left -
Mr.. Walter smiled
''In fact said he, "the playwright
must be as sure of his point as was
the young lady who took advantage
of the present Leap year to propose

% Well, you might have kept silent, ;
said his friend.
&c That is what 1 did, the other re-
piled, and she flung herself on nv
breast murmuring that silence gave
consent. -

THE BOY WHO DIDN'T PASS.

A faced little fellow sits alone in
deep disgrace.
There's a lump arising in his throat,
tears streaming down his face;
He wandered from his playmates, for
he doesn t want to hear
Their shouts of merry Laughter since
the world has lost its cheer;
He has slipped the cup of sorrow, he
has drained the bitter glass,
And his heart is fairly breaking; he IS
the boy who didn pass.
In the apple tree the robin sings a
CHEEKY little song,
But he doesn' It seem to hear it, show
ing plainly something's wrong;
Comes his faithful little spaniel for a
romp and bit of play,
But the troubled little fellow sternly
bids him go away.
All alone he sits in sorrow, with his
hair a tangled mass,
And his eyes are red with weeping;
he's the boy who didn't pass.
How he hates himself for failing, he
can hear his playmates jeer,
For they've left him with the billiards
gone ahead a half year;
And he tried so hard to conquer, 0,
he tried to do his best,
But now he knows he's weaker, .1es,
and duller than the rest.
He's ashamed to tell his mother, for
he thinks she IL hate him, too
The little boy who didn't pass, who
failed of getting through.
Oh, you who boast a laughing son and
speak of him as bright,
And you who love little girl who
comes to you tonight
With smiling eyes and dancing feet,
with honors from her school,
Turn to that lonely little boy who
thinks he is a fool
And take him kindly by the hand, the
dullest in his class,
He is the one who most needs love,
the boy who didn t pass.

RExAu "s3" HAIR TONIC

The famous Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic is composed in chief of
Resorcin, Beta Naphthol and
Piiocarpin.
EcSorcin is one of the latest
a-d most effective germ killers
discovered by a science, and in
connection with Beta Naphthol,
which is both germiciGal and
antisep;ic, a combination is
formed which not only destroys
the germs which rob the hair OF
its nutriment, but creates a
clean and healthy condition OF
the scalp, which prevents the
Judgment and development Of
new germs.
Pilocarpin is well-known
agent for restoring the hair to
its natural color, where the loss
of color has been due to dis
ease of the scalp. 1t is not a
coloring matter or dye-it pro-
duces its effect by stimulating
the scalp and hair follicles to
health and active life.
This c o m bination of cur
atives mixed with alcohol as a
stimulant, perfects the most ef'
fect:ve remedy for hair and
scalp troubles known to-day.
