ASP. Tres TO De
heavy WEIGH|
DY JEFF ,rHO1IpSON,

NEW YORK, June 13.-Stanley
Ketchell is now the pugilistic hero
of the United States. Ills artistic poll
ishing of Billy Papke. the Illinois
thunderbolt, clinched his claim to he
considered a great fighter. The man
who can show the scalps Of Joo
Thomas, the Sullivan Twins and Billy
Papke is a fighter. and his friends aref
justified in looking forward to the time
when he may sign himself worlds
champion" That he is the best man
of his weight row fighting I do not
think will be questioned. 1t must bs
remembered that Ketchelr Is young.
,ster. and that he is growing. He now
fights at 1874. In a year or two he
probably will stop when in fighting
weight at something like 10 or ITS.
I am rather inclined to the oId-fash-
toned idea that when good man strips
to,fght at IT'S pounds, he is not giving
Anything away to the heavier man..
The additional weight is more likely
to be handicap than help. II,
therefore. Ketchell gets up to that
mark. he should be In vne For the
heavyweight title. and unless miss
my guess he will make any of the big
fellows hustle to hold what they have.
One thing like about Ketchell Is
that he does not seem to consider
gabfest a necessary preliminary to a.
prlze-fight. IS
Now, however, that he. with Jimmy
Coffroth. the Napoleon of fight pro-
moters, has come East for some easy
money, he may develop the CONVERSE
tional habit. I hope not, for If this
young fellow keeps away from Broad
way and It's allurements he has a great
future in the ring. He Is a fighter Of
the Jack Dempsey order. but bigger
man than the Nonpareil, who, to my
mind, was the best fighter at his
weight that ever stepped In the ring.
The news of the illness OF George
Sller, the veteran sporting man, was
received here with real regret. Silers
has his enemies, but there is no one
who questions his integrity, SO farsas
I have ever heard. and he has been
prominent figure in the sporting world
for many years.
The statement that Young Corbett Ia
preparing to re-enter the ring Is anus
ing. Corbett was a good little fellow
in his day, but his day has gone. It Is
a natural law In the world of pugilisnl
that man cannot have his cake and
eat 1t. Corbett certainly has eaten his
cake If ever fighter did, and his ef-t
fort to get 1t back is foredoomed to-
failure Let him ask Terry McGoverna i
or any of the other former champions
who have gone the pace.

bred that could do more work daily
than this breed OF horses. But right
here let me say that the saddle horse
should never be allowed, much less
made, to do draft work in harness.
This is not his business. His shoulder,
his limbs, his very temperament was
not intended for heavy draft work at
the collar. While light harness work
will help this animal Il mean driv-
Ing to the buggy or carriage at a walk
and trot), yet believe heavy farm
work work will ruin any good saddle
horse.
Just as tho big Percheron is out OF
place under the saddle, or at fast work
ON the road to n light vehicle, so Is
the nimble saddler entirely out of
place when put to draft work, either
en- the farm or on the road.
Remember that good saddle horses
are always going to have a place In
this country; they are useful orna-
mental and salable; thus 1t Will be a
mistake to slight this breed, though
q profit to the man who In the next
few years breeds and develops some
first-class gated saddlers.

Buford was at Nagasaki on her last trip
home Chief Master at Arms d. P.
o 'Keefe, discovered japanese in the
freroom acting suspiciously. The son
of Nippon had been taking measure
ments of the ships boilers and jot-
ting down notes on much befgured
sheet of paper. o 'Keefe took the sus-
pected spy a prisoner and confscated
several note books. He was turned
over to the chief officer of the trans,
port who was about to question" the
prisoner when a japanese policeman
came along took possession of all the
papers that had been previously appro.
priated by the chief officer, and also
the prisoner, and marched him ashore.
1t was thought that the intruder was
a japanese army officer, but the officers
on board the Buford could not under,
stand why he should be seeking inform
alton that could be easily learned with
out resorting to such methods.

A HAWAIIAN IN FRISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-Sam-
nv Stone, little Hawaiian boy, made
application for q warrant yesterday to
the Bond and Warrant Clerk for the
arrest of A. Hartman, proprietor of a
barber shop at ~ Eddy street. The boy

and s. for the third. He allowed Hart
man to keep his wages until he had ac-
cumulated enough to buy suit of
clothes. Tuesday, he says, he asked for
the accumulation, expecting $21, in
stead he says he got only Sc. The
warrant clerk has issued citation for
Hartman to appear today and show
cause why warrant should not be is
sued against him for embezzlement.
Hartman was called before the Chief

MADAME ARRAL To
SING At ORPHEUM

Believing that there are a great many
people in Honolulu who were DESTROYS
of hearing Madame Blanche Arral. but
who were deferred owing to other en-
gagements from attending her previous
concerts, Messrs. Cohen and Lumley
have engaged the services of this won
derful songstress for limited number
of appearances at the Orpheum.
On these occasions she will appear in
conjunction with the Lumley Company
and sing between the second and third
acts, giving choice selections from
Grand Opera both in Italian and Eng
lish.
Her program will of necessity be
short owing to the time required for
the regular play, but it will be of from
twenty-five to thirty minutes duration,
long enough to give the audience an
idea of the wonderful ability Madame
Arral possesses as a prima donna.
The nights upon which Madame Arral
appears will be Tuesdays and Fridays,
beginning Friday, July 10, and ending
Tuesday, July "a On these evenings,
owing to the great additional expense
upon the local management, the prices
of seats will be raised slightly-not
enough but that they will still remain
popular.
When a frst-class company, such as
the one now at the Orpheum, and a
great artist, like Madame Arral, give
a joint performance at price strictly
popular, there can be no question as to
what the public will do. 1t is certainly
rare opportunity, and one which
should appeal to the theater and con-
cert-going people of Honolulu.
Messrs. Cohen and Lumley are show
ing rare enterprise in bringing this at
traction about, and they should, and no
doubt will, receive substantial encour-
agement.

PLANTS AS WEATHER PROPHETS
Rare Fern Which Foretells Hurricanes,
Billiards and Earthquakes.

There exists in London an institute
whose business it is to predict weather
changes, calamities and catastrophes.
This is done by the observation of a
wonderful plant. The prophetic plant
is delicate fernlike growth called the
Abrus. obtained from India. From OBJ
servation of it, it is said, it is possible
to learn when earthquakes, hurricanes
and billiards are about to occur. The
plants have to be watched day and
night. They may tell of an earthquake
to happen couple of days hence at
a distance of two thousand or three
thousand miles There are some thou.
sands of plants in the institute to be
watched, and they are kept in tenn
perature of between rs and 100 degrees.

ETHEL ROOSEVELT A
CHIP OFF, OLD BLOCK

Ethel Roosevelt, who recently held
West Point line in Georgia for two
hours, and at times sent the engine
along at a 7O-mile-an-h hour clip, is to
be elected an honorary member of the
local lodge of Atlanta of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, if Engi-
neer John Still can accomplish it.
Still is enthusiastic over the exploit
and is determined to make her an
honorary member of his brotherhood.
He has taken up the matter with his
brother engineers and found them en-
thusiastic also. Still said:
think we will elect Miss Ethel.
She deserves it for the way she handled
that engine. She is as brave as they
are made, and her nerves seem to be
made of steel. Afraid! Why she

THE SILVER KING
At 3ORPHEUM TONIGHT

At the Orpheum Theater tonight the
Lumley Company, headed by Richard
Buhler, viii produce the strongest melo-
drama of the day, ''The, Silver King. -
The east is a long one and requires
the full strength of the company. The
play contains all the elements that are
required in the making of good play,
heart interest, delightful comedy and
sensational climaxes. The following is
short synopsis of the piece:
Geoffery Ware succeeds in running
Wilfred Denver and lowering him in
the eyes of his wife with whom he is
in love. In a fit of drunkenness and
revenge, Denver visits Ware, when
Ware is killed, and Denver awakening
in the house from his drunken stupor,
thinks he has killed him. While at,
tempting to escape he reads of his sup
posed death in railway accident. He
fees to America, where he discovers
silver mine, becomes wealthy and is
known as the "Silver King" He re-
turns to England, where he finds his
wife and children in distress. He does
not make himself known, still thinking
that he is a murderer. He eventually
proves his innocence and is reconcled
to his family.
The play will be found delightful in
every way, several new and up-to-. late
specialties being introduced.

Two baseball teams arriving from
over seas were the cause of a great
many of Honolulu's citizens eongrega-
ting at the wharves yesterday. In the
morning they went TO see the Korea
and the japanese players who were en-
Enthusiastically received and in the after
noon the Hilonian with the Santa Clara
team was greeted by the biggest crowd
which ever welcomed the popular Mat
Son boat.
The Hilonian which was reported by
wireless to arrive at the wharf at five
O'Clock was on time to the minute and
as she poked her nose around the edge
of the wharf warehouse it was seen
that she was wearing at her jack staff
a new flag, which proved to be the ban
ner of the Santa Clara team.
The Korea from the Orient and the
Hilonian from the coast both had very
uneventful trips; and with the excep-
ton of death of japanese on the
Korea which was the cause of delaying
her in passing quarantine until the
cause of the death was determined
upon, nothing especially noteworthy
occurred 1t being proved that there
was nothing to fear, the big vessel was
passed and came into port and to the
Haekfeld wharf. Among her passen-
gers were many tourists, several OF
whom stopped off here for stay OF
several weeks. Among the passengers
disembarking here are Mrs. Juiiette Nj.

ton and Miss flaxman, who are return
