Sport With the Natives.

In northwestern Rhodesla the prasi-
dent may have chance to hunt ma
tive fashion. The negroes there ara
experts and they kill all sorts OF game,
from Wild hogs to rhinoceroses. They
hunt at the close of the summer, iir-.
setting fire to the high grass AMI
burning over the whole coyltry As
the grass sprouts up in the swampy
places the game goes shere to feed.
and the natives lay in wait and shoot
1t with their bows and arrows or Kill
it with spears. They also stretch great
nets across the paths or drives, into
which they chase me game, and when
the animals become entanglei they
rush In and spear them. These nets
are made of vines and nhrr and ere
sometimes two miles in length.
1t will interest the president 20 see
how they shoot lions and leopards by
means of traps. The INST common
lion trap is a moose bated with meat
and so arranged that when the lion
grabs the meat he is caught by the
moose, and in jerking away pulls the
trigger of a gun which hangs down
from above. The gun is so fixed that
when II goes off the beast receives the
ball just back of the neck and Is kill
ed. In trapping leopards the gun is
set an angle OF 40 degrees. so that the
animal Is shot through the brain.

Washington, March 3.-The charge
that the government has been robbed
Of over $70,000,000 since 1880 by
railroads carrying the mails was
made on the floor Of the House of
Representatives to-day by Mr.. Lloyd
of Missouri. He referred to the new
system Of weighing the mails recent
ly introduced by the Postmaster
General and declared that it was an
admission that the Post Office De-
partment had allowed the people of
the country to be mulcted out Of the
sum stated.
He demanded to know why suits
had not been instituted against the
railroads to recover this money. No
suits, he charged, had been filed land

THE SOUTHERN WHITES.
Washington Post.


Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, and John d. Dockefeller, of
standard Oil, sitting together in a
Pullman car, and talking over eco
nomic conditions in the South, seems
an incongruous thing at first view.
In characteristics, temperament,
speech, and thought they are as wide
apart as the poles. One is we'll
known as the public enemy of the
other. But Mr.. Tillman is not al
ways brandishing his barbed pitch
fork in the face of Wall streets
chieftains, nor is Mr.. Rockefeller to
be caught at all times with his fin
gers making predatory motions in
the deeps of the public's pockets. So
they sat and talked together like any
other friendly, simple folk.
But how big with possibilities yet
unborn was this simple meeting
brought about by the chance of a
moment! They discussed a question
that Is many years old--the unfortu-
nate condition Of the poor whites in
the Southern States. Papers have
been written on it, feuds have been
fought over it, and orators have
made 1T the topic of day. All to
no purpose. The poor white of the
South has still been condemned by
nothing more shameful than his
poverty to ignorance and want, to
misery, obscruity, and apathy. He
is helpless and there are no others
to help him. He sees his negro
neighbor rising, learning. prospering,
because Northern hands have
stretched to them an abundant char
ity. No hands have come to the aid
Of the poor white who knows his po-
sition is worse than that of the ne
gro, and who feels it keenly. But
they talked earnestly on this subject
the Senator who knew what he was
talking about and dared to say it
and the man with the power to do
whatever he puts his mind to. And
when the man who had contributed
$37, 900, 900 to education in one year
heard the story, he said:
This must not be. These things
must be remedied."
1t is not for any one to say what
the great oil magnate meant by his
words. Mr.. Rockefeller is not gene
rally credited with using vain words,
however. Those who have the in
terests Of the Southern whites in
their hearts may take unto. them
selves what encouragement they can
from his language. Certainly there
are few people more worthy Of bet
ter educational facilities than those
solid, simon-pure, but illiterate,
Americans, the mountain whites of
the South. Instruction., opportunity
and attention arc all they need to
mold them into an Industrious,
strong and hardy people. When
school houses dot the r. Intainsides
in place Of still house. there will
be heard nothing moe of bloody
feuds nor moonshiners murders.
The negro population should be
given all the education it can take
in, but the need of the white man,
also, should not be forgotten.

PROMISE OF
EXCITING SPORT

The sale of seats for the Mitsuka-
Roberts wrestling bout opened yester-
day and firm demand for them was
recorded. The box office at the Or
pheum will open today at 10 a. m.
Mitsuka is in excellent fettle and
his friends refuse to entertain the idea
that Sailor Roberts can defeat him to-
morrow night.
Roberts will return from Moiokai by
the u. S. S. Iroquois today and will
then take 1ay-off from duty until
tomorrow night.
The opinion of the local sporting
fraternity appears to be equally ,di-
vided as to who will win the big
match at the Orpheum, and consider
able money was bet yesterday at even
money.
One thing is certain, and that is
that both men are out to win. They
are both confident of victory, and the
result should be one OF the most ex-
citing contests that has ever occurred
in the history of local sportdom.

It was builders trial and was
undertaken for the purpose of adjust
ms, the sails and the ropes.
The Gladys went out to meet the
Hawaii, and they came back together
that is, they were both on the home
ward run at the same time, for the
new boat showed a clean pair of heels
to the Gladys.
The Hawaii proved herself to be a
good sailer and showed herself to be
very fast. She was tried out in every
way and gave perfect satisfaction. She
is a stiff boat and. Notwithstanding
that there was plenty of wind. never
got her rail down. In stays she WORK
ed as easily as could be desired.
The yacht will be taken over by the
yacht race committee today and will
then be paid for.
On Saturday afternoon there will be

GOOD BOXING
At FORT SHAT TER
Corp. Bird Beat Richardson
and Murphy Put II Over
r00ies

The gymnasium at Fort Shafter was
well filled last night, the occasion be-
ing the monthly boxing bouts of the
Fort shafter Athletic Club.
A good evenings sport was enjoyed
and the arrangements were all that
could be desired.
The curtain-raiser was a six-round
go between Privates Murphy and
Poole, light-heavies, and both of Co.
E of the 10th Infantry.
According to previous arrange
rnent the bout was called a draw. both
men being on their feet at the end OF
the sixth round.
Murphy was lighter than his oppo-
nent, and had 1t on him in science and
aggressiveness. He won the decision
by block and could have knocked out
his man had he so desired.
Poole is perhaps the worst big man
who has ever donned mitts in a local
ring. He has nothing that goes to
make a boxer and could not have
knocked out a bantamweight last
night.
Murphy, who possesses the pro-
verbal scrapper's dial, showed clever
ness with his dukes and also nice foot
work. He was giving away weight,
but made monkey of his opponent.
The languid Poole seemed to be in a.
trance, and the 1ove-taps he handed
out to Mr.. Murphy caused much

Nine.

LAHAINA. April 29.-Last Saturday

baseball game Of the season at Kilo-
hama Park. The Lahainaluna boys ard
the ball team of the Pioneer Sugar
Mill met in their first contest. The

bat, but they We're quickly dismissed
to the field by failure to make con-
nection with A1o's terrible twisters,
and only once in the game did they
succeed in sending the ball to the OUT
Noa's big NIT.
Noa was the first to bat for the La
hainaluna boys and started the fire
works in good style by a three-b Dagger.
Mokeau quickly followed with a two
Dagger. This success sent the Pioneers
high into the air and they failed to
score run during the entire game.
The Pioneers ball was pounded all
over the field by the schoolboys, who
ended the game with sixteen runs to
their credit.
The Lahainaluna boys played a
splendid game from start to finish,
never losing their heads. The Pioneers
were less confident and became ner-
vous after the first inning. Many
spectators witnessed the game and
seemed to enjoy the star plays made
by the schoolboys. One of the features
of the game was Mokeau's splendid
work on first base.
Next Saturday these teams will meet
on the same diamond.
