ISENBERG GAVE
SIX TROPHIES

LIHUE, March 20.--A large number
of bowlers had put in an appearance
last Saturday to try to capture one of
the many prizes that unexpectedly had
been announced.
Hon. d. p. r. Isenberg, who is in
terested in the club, had presented 1t
with six silver stems to be bowled for
that night in a game of German ten
pins, the six highest scorers to carry
away one each.
After couple of games in which
both visitors and members took a
hand, the latter lined up for the con-
test, but as usual on such occasions
nobody was able to make more than
an average score, no one topping 17S
or falling below $50. Those who finally
walked off with the coveted trophies
We're w. H. Rice Jr., F. Main, F,
Crawford, H. Carls, w. c. Schiefer and
H VOTERS.
The toast to the generous donor was
drank with great reclamation as was
another to Mr. Richard Isenberg who
had supplied the key that goes with
kegeI.

MISSOURI MULE
TO KICK TONIGHT

Another of those justly famous
monthly ''round-ups'' at the Y. NJ. c.
A. will be pulled off tonight promptly
at half-past seven. An elaborate pro-
gram, including music, singing and
other special features, is promised
those who attend. A one-act farce,
entitled THE Missouri Mule is the
chief attraction. This beautiful drama
is presented for the first time to a
Honolulu audience, and is bound to
make as much of a hit here as it has
in various other places where it mas
been produced.
"a Day at the Post" will perhaps
attract more local interest than any
OF the. other numbers. Now that the
coming of the fleet is but a short dis
lance away, people are taking con-
siderable interest in sailors and sol
diers in general. The number of SER
vice men at the roundup tonight will
be large. ]. Chatham Ewing will tell
the visitors how the boys in blue spend
their time while at the army post. He
will be assisted in this by the bugle
corps of the goth Infantry. which will
play appropriate calls as the speaker
relates his narrative.
Carlos Caceres, the blind pianist who
has delighted many an audience with
his exquisite selections, will play sew
eral times during the evening.
Printed slips, containing so names of
books, will be passed around. The
man who can make the best short
story out of these words viii be
awarded a copy of A. Conan Doyle s
THE Sign of the Four While this
stunt is in progress, refreshments in
the shape of coffee and doughnuts will
be passed round. Prominent among
those present will be the men who rep
resented the Association at the track
meet on Saturday. 1t will be a good
chance for those who do not know the
men personally to become acquainted,
and will also serve as an opportunity
to congratulate the twelve who did
battle royal against superior odds.

The first fixture of the Honolulu Golf
Club, a medal competition, was played
at Moanalua yesterday in showery
weather
Owing to the extension Of the course
and the southerly wind the scores were
exceptionally high.
The opinion was unanimously ex-
pressed that the alterations on the
course by the frightening of the holes
and the introduction of sand bunkers
make the Moanalua links unquestion-
ably the best in the islands.
Geo. S. Leithead and C. E. Edmunds
tied for first place with net scores of
80. Leithead won the playoff by two
strokes.
The first prize was silver cup and
the second a bridge whist equipment.

There was a representative gather
ing of citizens at Firemen's Hall on
Friday evening. in response to a gem
aral call for the purpose of making
arrangements for this years celebra-
ton.
A general discussion as to the best
manner of celebrating the day soon
dsveloped the fact that a repetition
Of the Wild West Show, which made
such a hit in Hilo a short time since,
would prove very popular, and let
ter from Eben p. Low saying that he
would like to repeat the performance
was received with satisfaction.
It was decided to crystalline matters
by appointing an executive commit
tee in whose hands will rest the APP

consists of five-W. H. c. Campbell

As roughly outlined, the celebration
would extend over part of three days.
A big dance at the Armory on the
evening of Thursday, July 2, would
start things going. On Friday after
noon, July 3, there would be the Wild
West Show at Hoolulu Park and peo-
pie would be given chance to rest

ushered in with the usual salutes, and
in the morning there would be literary
exercises. Races at Hoolulu Park and
a baseball match, to be arranged by
the Hilo League, would fill in the af-
ternoon, and it is anticipated that a
dramatic performance could be put on
in the evening by some of the accom-
plished amateurs who have delighted

This from the New York Sun of last
Tuesday, when January contracts were
selling at 1899, although rather late as
market news. contains information
that is interesting:
I'm the meantime, however the sta
tistical position becomes more and
more bulliSh; the demand shows no
evidence of slackening and the holders
Of the actual cotton appear just as
strong as they have been all along.
And in this connection 1t must be OBJ
served that the movement Of spot
prices becomes daily more Independent
of the fluctuations Of contract quota
tions. Neither upturns nor breaks IN
the speculative markets are given much
attention by the buyers or sellers Of the
actual stuff. The farmer has certain
amount of cotton to sell around 123c to
12Ac, and if wire advices and reports
published in southern newspapers are
reliable he is getting those figures right
along. As to the amount held in re-
serve there is no uneasiness apparent.
Statements to the effect that mer-
chants and bankers are complaining at
being held up for the money due them
no longer flood the market. On the 9TH
er hand. out in Texas. where the crop
was the shortest and where the holding
movement is supposed to be the strong
est, the farmer has managed to secure
sufficient advances to put his land IN
shane for the new crop. In the mean
time the talent in the local market Is
complacently selling options for future
delivery at 100 to $50 points below the
price the owners of the staple are get
ting merely for the asking"

IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Old Dispensary Party Continues tc
Stand Together In the Senate.


Columbia, January S0.-While it Is
fact that the people naturally sup
posed that the killing Of the state dis
pensary at the last session of the leg
islature would in great measure
eliminate 1t from politics such does not
seem to be the case, judging from dis
cussions of propositions even remotely
referring to it especially In the senate.
The lines are as closely drawn as last
winter and some of the senator's, not
Withstanding the cumulative evidence
of rottenness and corruption uneartheo
by the winding up commission and At
torney General Lyon during the past
wear still proclaim their loyalty In as
emphatic terms as ever and seek IN
every way to shield the crowd that
public opinion is agreed should wear
stripes No stronger evidence of this
fact can be cited, or need be, than the
zeal with which Johnson Of Fafrheld,
Raysor Of Orangeburg, Blease OF New
berry, opposed the resolution endorsing
the winding up commission offered Dy
Senator Otis of Cherokee. The resolu-
ton was tabled by a vote Of 19 to IL.
1t is generally conceded by all un-
prejudiced citizens who are personally
Iacuuainted with the various gentlemen
composing the winding up commission,
regardless of their views on the WHISKY
question, that there are not fve more
honorable or capable men In the state
than they, but notwithstanding THIS
fact several insidious inSinuations were
thrown out by one or more Of the OPP
pOnents of the resolution offered by
Senator Otis rejecting on their integri-
ty, thus once more emphasizing the
oft repeated assertion that it is prac-
tically impossible for citizen be he
ever so clean before, to come in direct
contact with liquor business and es-
cape criticism.
The bill introduced in the senate by
Mr.. Brice providing that the YorkVllle
school district be restored to It's old
limits and the taxes paid by those on
property in the new territory, as delln-
ed by the act passed last winter enlarg-
ing the district. has passed the senate
and been sent to the house. DR.. Saye
had a similar bill in the house, but 1t
is likely that in view of the fact that
the senate bill is ahead Of it, that 1t
will be withdrawn and Mr.. Brice's bill
pushed through.
Mr.. Brice has introduced a bill SIM
liar to that of Mr.. Epps, prohibiting
cock fighting. A limited inquiry as to
prospect of passage of these bills leads
to the conclusion that they Will not.
Comment unnecessary.
DR.. Saye hopes to get his road bill
started through the mill during the
next few days. l am advised that 1t
will be almost sure to pass as it has
the unanimous support of the York del
egatiOn.
After being discussed extensively and
thoroughly yesterday and today the
Nash prohibition bill was killed in the
house by vote of 65 to So. This prob
ably eliminates the question for the
present session.
Messrs. Carey and Cothran have pre-
pared a labor contract bill that 1t Is
believed will stand the test of the
courts. 1t applies to all labor contracts
and cannot. it is said. be turned down
on the ground that it is class legisla-
ton.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The speculative market yesterday Is
reviewed in an Associated Press dis
patch of last night from New York
as follows:
The cotton market was nervous and
unsettled today with the close steady
at a net decline Of 2 to 13 points. Sales
were estimated at 250,000 bales.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to 16 points on renewal OF
yesterdays covering movement and
overnight buying orders but cables
We're disappointing and as soon as the
first rush Of commission houses de-
mand had subsided, the market seemed
to be without any important support.
After selling off to a net loss Of to 6
points on the active months under To-
cal bear pressure and liquidation, the
market rallied to a little over the clos
ing figures of yesterday on reports Of
firm spot markets and better demand
from New England spinners but again
broke and reached the lowest point in
the late trading when March sold at
1109, or II points net lower. The close
was to points up from the lowest on
covering with active months showing
a net loss of about 2 to 6 points. The
movement was q little heavier but ex-
ports for the day exceeded arrivals at
ports by $4,000 bales, and advices were
received from both eastern and western
sections Of the belt that interior hold
ers were asking very high prices. The
local bank troubles were among the
bearish influences and were mentioned
by private cables in explaining the poor

Postmasters in the larger cities of
the country are sending out warnings
to merchants and others to be careful
of the money orders they accept, owing
to the fact that many people have been
swindled out of various sums Of money
by their use. Thousands Of postal
cards have been sent out warning the
public against stolen money orders, in
the hope that their presentation may
lead to arrests.
We have not the slightest suspicion
that the dispensary winding up COM
mission is guilty of anything dishonest
or dishonorable in connection with It's
work But If anybody can make a
charge that will show q reasonable prob
ability of any such shortcoming, the
matter should be probed to the bottom.
However until there is something spe-
cific along this line, there should be no
sidetra cking of the real issue-the cor
