MAJOR DREYFUS.

Few men have in their day made
more newspaper copy than Alfred
Dreyfus, and Alfred and his associates
seemed determined to keep it IN.
Once upon a time. the world was
pretty much excited about Monsieur
Dreyfus. Most everybody remembers
vaguely that he was once forciblv
elected from the French army. public
~ degraded and sent to prison. be-
cause he had been convicted of selling
some French military secrets to the
Germans
Ihey had pretty stiff case against
Alfred. The evidence was circumstan-
tial, It's true, but over here we hang
men on circumstantial evidence. and
Americans generally regard it as about
as good for getting bad men in prison
as are the eye witnesses brought for
ward by the police department
While. in the parlance of the re-
porter. the authorities were weaving
tnls net of circumstantial evidence
about Mr.. Dreyfus. the discovery WAS
made that he was the only Jew in the
french army, and the suspicion was
spread broadcast that the case against
him had been trumred up by those
frenchmen who spend their spare time
In the persecution of the members of
jewish race-apparently for the sheer
amusement of the thing.
Here in America We have become
better acquainted with the Jew and
we couldn't exactly understand the at
titude of the Frenchman. We NOT on,,,

from him, but we dance with his
daughters. dine with his family. an

FRED POTTER
BITTEN BY EEL

Fred Potter, the manager Of the
Aquarium, met with curious accident
last week.
He was poking his hands under some
rocks in search of shrimps with which
TO feed his pets in the tanks, when an
eel seized a finger of his right hand
Acting on the impulse of the moment
Potter withdraw his hand hastily Rnd
the cells teeth inflicted long, jagged
wound, which caused him pain for sew
eral days.
Instances are common in Honolulu of
people having been bitten by cells, or
morays, to give them their proper
name; some OF them very severely.
There is a native woman living at
Kapahulu who had two fingers Grip
pId by a great eel which attacked her
while gathering hmu at Waikiki
Net very loag ago a Korean was
fishing for cells on the reef at Waia-
lac. An eel took his bait and snagged
the hook in its hole. The man plunged
his arm into the hole to try and release
his hook and his fingers were seized
by an eel which inflicted such deep
wounds that the victim suffered seri-
ously from blood poisoning for quite
a while after.
The morays in these waters as else
where are savage and voraeious. Their
bite in itself is not a serious matter;
il is the pulling away of the hand which
causes the trouble. The moray, like
members of the weasel family. hang
10 any prey which seems 70 be making
its escape from them tenaciously.
The best thing to do. should a moray
grab a finger or toe, is TO keep per-
feetly still and when the eel finds that
he has bitten more than he can swai-
low. he will retire discounted.

ATHLETE EN- SUE
VERY VERSATILE
His Recent Field Day Record
Was Little Short of
Wonderful.

There is no doubt that in En- Sue,
the versatile little Chinese athlete, Ho-
nclulu has a man of whom she should
be proud.
His performances at the recent field
day of the Chinese Athletic Club were
little short of wonderful considering
that he competed with little or no
training
He ran the first heat of the hun
dred n better than eleven seconds. and
won the final in o:1o SIS.
In the fifty yards ne was away bad
~ in the first heat and finished second
to John 10, who took the heat in
o:5 As. In the final he broke the
American record. winning in 0:5 Is.
In the high jump he tied for first
place with John 10. the bar being
cleared at fl. 3 3-4 in.
He took the third prize in the r.
pound shot-put, sending the weight "a
feet.
The broad jump he won with a leap
of % #. ga in.
He also annexed the low hurdles in
OILS 2-5. and topped off the afternoon
by winning the go yards dash in IS
seconds fiat.
When it is remembered that the
little champion competed in event after
event with little or no rest between,
his records seem even more remark
able than the bare figures would indi-
cate.
With proper training En- Sue would
very likely run fifty yards IN five sec
onds fat. Here he gets of q delivery
wagon and starts in race. He has
no coach. no competent rubbers and
no time in which to train himself TO
do the best that he is aapable Of
Running for a mainland club there is
little doubt that he would develop into
a worlds champion al fifty yards
Unfortunately, the Honolulu public
win not have an opportunity 10 see
him run his favorite distance at the
coming championships. as the fifty
yards dash has been omitted from the
program for some mysterious reason.
