summer school for teachers at Wof-
ford College, when it was the pleas
ure of the teachers to hear an in
teresting address on school life OF
long ago, and on Washington's visit
to South Carolina after he had been
elected president Of the United States.
Prior to this time he had not made
an address in public for many
months.
The commencement at Wofford last
June was the first commencement

than two score years. When he was
a member of the faculty he always
occupied a seat on the rostum during
the commencement season. and after

dcncy of the college. he never missed
an exercise. Last June. however, be
was indisposed and it was impos-
sible for bin to attend any of the
exercises at the college.
DR.. Carlisle was president of Wof-
ford College from 1875 to 1902,
when he resigned and became presi-
dent emeritus. Following his res
isnation. DR.. H. y. Snyder was elect
cd. Although he resigned the presi-
dcncy of Wotord. he did not give

His Bible lectures continued until
last winter, when he was forced to
give up classroom work or account

A CREWSOME CUR|O

London, Nov. 27.-Another record
Of the evil influence of the mysterious
mummy.case in the British Museum is
published here.
This coffin-lin has painted face of
the priestess Amen-Ra, and misadven-
ture or death has swiftly followed
contact with it in SO many cases, that
it is the most VIGOROUSLY ''uncanny'
object in the world Not long ago two
men discussed the story of the paint
ed fact and it's reputed mysterious
power. One Of these men was sci
nent London engineer.
AS a result of their discussion they
went to the Museum, inspected the
cold, staring face on the coffin-lid, and
laughed at the notion that there could
be any evil spirit lowering over a
papier-mache coffin-lid
The scientist, who had expressed
the view that suicide is an unpardon-
taking a rare poison some time after
visiting the Museum.
About the same time, his friend, the
engineer, had an unaccountable fall
which dislocated his shoulder and
caused internal injuries. He now re
fuses to talk about the priestess OF
Amen-Ra.

For That Reason Southern In

WHAT DEPARTMENT SAYS

Washington, Nov. 21.-The depart
ment of agriculture has come along
with some good news for those citizens
down in southern Indiana who. when
arrested last fall for conducting
blind tigers" set up as a defense that
they had become intoxicated from eat
ing watermelons. The department has
not yet analysed the Indiana brand Of
melon. but it asserts that there is 4
jag" in the Georgia melons.
Of course it is carefully concealed,
and much care and labor is required to
extract it. but it is there just the same.
The department has proved this be-
yond a doubt. Out Of one hundred
pounds of watermelons experts in
chemistry made one-tenth of gallon
of alcohol. They have also convicted
another spree. Secretary Wilson ar
nounced the discovery OF a criminal
tendency in the watermelon hereto

prised us. We never expected it of
it. The purpose is to develop the
cheapest kind of denatured alcohol for
use as fuel.
The experiments have been made
under the directions of DR.. Harvey w
Wiley, chief OF the bureau of chemis
try. OF course it is impossible to ex
tract this alcohol in paying quantities
from melons. but we hope to do Sc
from sweet potatoes.
THE experiments have been made tc

TALKS ON DANIEL WEBSTER

GIVES A FLATTERlNG CRiTI-
cisM OF THE LATEST EFFORT
Of THE GIFTED MAN.

The Rev. DR.. Cathell of this city,
the past week delivered delivered in
Pittsburg his new lecture, Daniel
Webster" He was given a great re-
ception in the Smoky City. Says the
Pittsburg Dispatch:
DR.. Cathell's analysis of Webster's
character and motives was as Chart
able as 1t was comprehensive. He
commended that Webster supplied the
foundation stone for Lincoln in the
latter's opposition to slavery and his
overwhelming purpose to preserve the
government; that Webster's idealiZa-
ton Of the Constitution inspired the
people of the country at time when
some of the more important states
had not overcome their colonial pre-
disposition. He pointed out that Web
ster was ever against slavery. and
stood between the extreme fanaticism
of the North and the South. Webster
was subjected to the highest Of ap-
prOval and applause and at other
times was brought before the bar Of
public opinion and condemned.
Always Against Slavery.
DR.. Cathell recalled how, following
his famous speech of March 7. 1850,
in the United States senate. in which
he championed the cause of union and
liberty. Webster was rebuked by Bos-
tonians, who accused him of having
sacrificed everything for his ambition
to become president. DR.. Cathell said:
II Webster had delivered his speech
the 9Th of March he would have been
the problem of biography. The public
would have wondered where was his
crown or where were his wings. But

BILL
RUNS GAUNTLET

Yesterday afternoon the direct pri-
mary measure was considered by the
Senate in committee of the whole to-
gether with several non-members, in
Guiding Judge Whitney, the author OF
the bill. Former Senator Dickey took
up most of the time, outside of the
reading of the bill, in an effort to
have the measure shaped so as to
give any small faction the key of the
situation in elections. He wanted to
permit any group disgruntled at the
result or the primaries to come in
at the heel of the hunt and run can
didates with whose nomination the
voters at large had not had anything

SIR MARTIN
DERBY HUNAL

There isn't a great deal CT interest
taken in the English Derby in Homo
lulu as a rule. Now and then a few
Englishmen get together ana make up
a sweep on the great classic race run
on Epson Downs, but this is about
as far as enthusiasm over the race
ever goes.
This year, however, there seems to
be something in this great Pacific
home of sport. Every now and again
on the street one may here such re-
marks as what is this Derby race,
anyway" or who is the party to
write to get a bet on a horse in the
English Derby?'
This unusual state of affairs is ac-
counted for in a somewhat strange
manner.
1t appears that when the last boat
from the Colonies was here a cabin
passenger went to a local tonsorial
parlor to get shaved. First, however,
he went to a thirst emporium to lay
the dust. The dust refused to be
quickly laid and he poured several
cool ones into him, more, in fact,
than was good for him.
While under the lather he became
very talkative and confided to the
barber that he was going to England
to see his brothers colt Sir Martin
run in the Derby on Wednesday, May
20. He showed the barber a letter
flom his brother wherein the latter
stated that although the colt was a
dark one the race was as good as
won, and advised his brother to pull
up stakes in Australia and bring his
Wad to England to bet on the horse
The barber soon got busy hunting
uE someone who knew anything about
the Sir Martin colt After much trou
bic he discovered that there was. suct
horse in the Derby and that it was
trained in the formidable Cannon sta
bile at Newmarket, also that as gooC
as 20 to 1 was on offer against thu
colt
He and some of his friends are get
ting up a pool to bet on the colt abou
whom information came to them il
such an unlocked for manner.
The latest betting on the Derb!
shows that Sir Martin has moved III
from 20 to to IL tn against, sur,
sign that he has been quietly backed
at the first-named juicy odds.

made void the signatures of voters to
same Office. It might open the way
to putting up Jobs.
Harvey objected to the same pro
vision because of the difficulty of OBJ
tanning separate lists of signatures
fer several candidates, where such
were to be elected to the same office.
This, as Fairchild, Knudsen and Nc
earthly agreed, would prevent a voter
from signing the papers of more than
one of four representatives to be cleo
ted in his district.
Smith thought the section was all
right but before he gave his reasons
referred to the Civic Federation bill.
1t was suggested that some copies or
that bill should be procured.
Emmeluth, replying to further re-
marks by Dickey. said the object OF
the Civic Federation plan was SEEM
ingly to permit Independent candidates
to be nominated after the direct prim-
ary If that was adopted it would
defeat every purpose of the direct pri-
mary. If the good people of Puma
hou who have complained about the
defeat of John Hughes had only turn
ed out and voted for John Hughes he
would have been elected.
On the matter Of separate party
ballots Emmeluth came up again with
the opinion that such would defeat

state he had seen.

Fairchild asked if a man had no
right to vote unless he declared his
party preference.
Knudsen asked how an independ-
ent man could vote.
He must vote for a non-partisan
candidate" Whitney answered "He
can vote at the election. This has
nothing to do With that"
Mccarthy would prefer that the
voter be given bunch of tickets. A
good many people in Honolulu voted
the Democratic ticket who were class
ed as Republicans.
Fairchild said in that case this bill
