FOURTEENTH CHILD Of
4 FOURTEENTH SON

Supervisor Fern was a proud and
smiling man yesterday morning. When
asked what the cause of it was, he said:
owe had the fourteenth arrival at our
house this morning, a boy, and a big
fat one, too. What do you think of a
man thirty-seven years old, the young
est of fourteen, with fourteen chill
dren?''
Mr.. Fern belongs to family that
would do President Roosevelt s heart
good if he could make their acquaint-
ance. Directly connected with him,
brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles,
nephews, nieces and his own children
there are one hundred and forty ight.
Of Mr. Fern S fourteen children nine
are still living, four boys and five girls;
they are all living in Honolulu with
him and are growing into able repre-
sentatives of the Fern family.
Mr. Fern s father was an Englishman
who came to the Islands lightweight
wooden house in Honolulu. The super
visor was the youngest of fourteen chill
dren, and was nine years of age when
his father died, twenty-eight years ago
"All of our family are married, -
said Mr.. Fern, Fand we all have large
families, save only two of my brothers,
who are childless. My eldest sister has
sixteen, and my eldest brother fifteen.
For myself, I hope that l shall live to
have fourteen more.
Every one of my children was born
without the aid of a doctor, and the
latest arrival was no exception. There
was no trouble at all, and Mrs Fern
is feeling very well today Then the
smiling father walked away to attend
to his business, leaving a pleasant inn
preston of the happy family man and
an implied suggestion that the Presi-
dent should take the Hawaiian Islands
for an object lesson when he next
breaks out on the race suicide ques-

BARKING DOG NUISANCE.

Editor Advertiser: I see that the
papers of New York are making a big
and successful fight against the noise
nuisance, and so l am longing to have
some one here try and protect us from
the only insistent noise we have-the
barking dogs.
OF course that sounds absurd, but
what l mean is the dog that spends
the better part of the nights out in
the streets barking at nothing.
1t is easy to believe the tax collec-
tor had to furnish extra tags. If you
live just above the city, it s simply
maddening. L wonder how long the
owners would be permitted to make
nuisance of themselves before be-
ing arrested, and yet worthless cur
can and does drive a body to the
verge of nervous prostration.
That it can be stopped l have proved.
Some time ago l applied to Sheriff
Henry, in regard to certain dog near
my home. He said / would have to
swear out warrant and undergo the
attendant discomfort, which l declined
doing. Then he told me to threaten
them with it, which I did with the
happiest results. Instead of listening
to a dog from 9 p. m. until 2 a. m. [
had chance of good night IS sleep.
They whipped the animal whenever he
barked unusually and 1 know of other
cases where they have been trained
20 behave.
But it's a heavy penalty to pay for
peace, that ought to be assured us,
by our city guardians, to be constantly

TRENOR'S STRONG HOPE FOR
SMALL FARMER MOVEMENT

I great expense-frequently by "hand
concealed and other sources of com
| fort attest the solicitude of those
/ whose welfare and that of those who
/ serve them is so closely interviewer.
The total absence of mendicancy is
one of the most striking characters
| tics of your islands, and irrefutable
| testimony that poverty as known else
| where is absolutely unknown here. This
speaks for itself.
As I have frequently said, it is es-
sentially commercial proposition to so
treat labor that it shall be attracted
and retained.
The day when it could be forcibly
held has passed. 1t is free to move as
it elects It's permanence or other
wise is the test of its satisfaction.
/ should like the people to feel as
sured that nothing will afford me
greater pleasure than to serve them in
any way. officially or otherwise, that
may tend to the development and con-
tinued prosperity of land for which
the future holds so much.
The task assumed is by no means an
easy one Its partial accomplishment
even demands time, deliberation and
the closest attention. 1t will receive
all. The selection of those who are
to be privileged to swell the ranks of |
our citizens must and will be most |
rigid. There may be failure. There
will be no Misrepresentation.
I would rather fail in sending what
you want than succeed in sending what
you do not want.
| am convinced that every honest
effort to assist in the solution of a
problem of such vital Importance will
receive the support of all well-wishers
of the Territory, and of none more cor
daily than your own.

NELSON NOW CHAMPION.
Joe Cans Knocked Out in Seventeenth

Battling Nelson Saturday won the title of ight-weight pugllistic cham pon of the world from the man who defeated him at Goldfeld Nev., almost two years ago, He knocked out Joe Cans in the seventeenth round atfer a fight as desperate as any that had been seen here In years
 Fighting from the beginning to the end of every round, moving ceaselessly forward and never giving ground, Nell son, with his bulldog tenacity, and wonderful stamina, slowly battered the veteran colored champion into submission. The end was not sudden and there were few who watched the progress of the battle and saw Cans grow weaker and weaker from round to round, but had made up their minds as to the result long before the count was given that made the Illinois lad champion.
 Three times Cans was sent to the floor in the final round, each time talk ing all the time allowed. A blow from Nelson's left glove to the pit of the stomach ended the fight, and Cans toppled over and rested on his knees. his face wearing a most painful ex- pression. He tried in vain to re- gain his feet but failed and was count ed out. Then 10000 men and score of women, who had gathered in the open air arena on the San Mateo hills, cheered the man who had become champion after defeat and rushed in frenzied enthusiasm for the ring. The special police were bowled over and Nelson was swept off his feet and hoisted on the shoulders of his friends and carried about the arena and then his dressing room, while the beaten, bleeding Cans was escort- ed by his seconds from the scene of his defeat.
 'The best man won beyond doubt was Cans frank admission as he left the ring, Its the old story of one fight too many. After the third round I began to see myself tirtns. old f.re will tell and that Is all l have to say"

double defeat at their hands. Satur- day Friday there will be a double header with Holyoke at the Rock and as q grand finale Hartford appears here Saturday, when one of the largest crowds of the season will be on deck to give encouragement to their ball tossers It Is a good chance for the locals to brace and jump up a peg in the standing.
 Not in the history of the Connecticut league has there been a prettier race of the teams to the halfway station. Springfield, In the midst of 6 spurt long overdue, may continue to hold first place for time. but the Ponies will be hotly trailed by Hartford and New Haven. Bridgeport, HolyoKe, Meriden and New Britain are pretty well punched, and the teams are liable to alternate positions from day to day. The work of the Bridgeport team was the best in the circuit dur ing June, the Orators jumping from last place to the first division.
 Waterbury is the only club that Is back in the ruck, but Durant's men during fortnight have played fas, ball and lost many games by single run.

THIS WEEKS SCHEDULE.
Now Haven Expected to Jump Out of
 Slump To-day and Win Some.

New Haven begins fairly hard week, to-day when they try conclus- Ions with O'Rourke's troupe In the Park City. Either Stoup or Lefty Wilhelm will do the pitching for the locals and all the men will endeavor to break the teams losing streak by most strenuous efforts to hit the ball.
 The batting slump of the local team is hard to explain, because several of the players who have been rated 300 regulars in past seasons arc batting away below that mark now. In crit teal moments the men are especially weak with the stick, and while a time ly drive occasionally wins game or scores a run the work of the team with the stick is not consistent and as strong as 1t ought to be to win q majority of the contests.
 Tomorrow Waterbury will be en- countered on their own diamond and New Britain shows here Wednesday. Meriden will no doubt prove to be easy money on the following day as Sones men feel pretty sore about the

GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP State Tournament Opens at the New Haven Country Club
 Links Wednesday. BIGGEST ENTRY IN YEARS w. K. Shepard and Other Big Guns Coming, But the Great Scelcy
 May Be Absent.
BIGGEST ENTRY IN YEARS

The state tournament of the Con- necticut Golf association which opens at the New Haven Country club, We'd nesday, will bring together the larg- est number of golfers that has gath cred together in this state for many years of course all the crack players will take part, as well as several who have not yet been numbered amongst the Cracks" The latter class com pose great many young players who are sure to give good account of themselves during the coming week, and 1t would not be astonishing to find one of their number in the final round for the championship when 1t comes to be played off next Saturday. Old Tom Morris, the father of present day golf, used to say of the young players, "Ye can never tell what they chappies can do," and so 1t Is true of the coming contest. One can never tell how the players tried and true may stand when the last eighteen holes comes to be played. Many will learn with regret that the famous Seeley will likely be missing from the list of contestants when they start in the preliminary rounds of the championship contest.
 w. K. Shepherd, the present cham pon, will be on hand to defend his laurels and such well kn )wn men a.s R .Hovey of Hartford, D. T. Merriam of Yale, w. Jackson of Mlddletown, N. c. Taintor of Hartford, w. A. Rice c. H. Zimmerman, E. Parlance, D. Bronson of New Haven, and others will be present to try their luck for the coveted trophy. Amongst the likely runners up for the big honor is D. T. Merriam of the Yale Golf club. The college player has been putting up very strong game, and it would not astonsh his friends in the least l if he gave a good account of himself for championship honors.
 | The golfers here in town are view ing the links with considerable appre- l hension for the absence of rain for the last six weeks has left the links in pretty poor order, the grass s unusually dry for the time of year and the ground, so it Is said, is fairly baked. No artificial watering can do any good and 1t would be impossible to water the links anyway. If the dry weather holds the players will find the links not In as good condition as formerly when the tournament ] opens up.
 There is large gallery expected and many out of town visitors will make up the visiting crowd.
 The closing days of the tournament will be the social days, and when the final matches are played there is al- ways large gallery of ladies present On Saturday the mixed foursomes will be a feature of the closing day and this means that all the expert golfers among the women will be present and entertain.
