The studio of M. Soel, the painter,
10 situated In Rue de Rome in the
same house where Maxine du Camp
has lived for many years. A luxur-
ious large room well known to all
models and dining room reached by
means OF long oaken stairway con-
stitute the whole apartment. The
furniture. which has been bought one
piece at time, bears witness of the
excellent taste of thu owner--not a
gobelin, not painting which is not
OF value. On the walls are a num-
Der OF sketches, gifts from friends,
diminished heads in oil and pastel
and statuettes in plaster and bronze
without number.
One day happened to draw aside a
curtain covering recess under the
oaken stairs, and as l did a cry Of
surprise escaped my lips. Hidden be-
hind the curtain was a painting Of
the head of girl, the like of which
l had never beheld. She was blonde,
very blonde, with two heavy braids Of
hair thrown over her shoulders. Her
forehead was adorned with a wreath
OF flowers. but this forehead was
more pale than white and the large,
naif-open eyes had a dull, lifeless
expression, and the smile which
played about the pale lips was un-
speakably sad and the whole express
sion OF the wonderfully beautiful face
made you think of Schubert's song,
''Lebe Wohl"
so you have found the portrait" )"
Soel said.
Yes, she is dead and I hid the
painting from everybody and from
myself because / did not have cour-
age to burn 1T. Her story is so SIM
pie. I saw this young girl the first
time in the Pyrenees. She was an
orphan living with an aunt, lovely
old woman with snow-white hair. One
OF my friends, Richard Lerieux, son
OF the general, introduced me to the
girl. Her name was Blanche, q rath-
er commonplace name you may
think, but to me ID sounded sweet.
Richard told me they had been
long been settled that they were to
be married. l saw her no more that
season.
The next year 1 saw her several
times at dances, once at Nine Le-
maire's and once at DR.. Fauvels.
She was dancing with her iance,
whom she adored and her eyes, her
face, her every feature and motion
told of her happiness. To her there
'as no other man in the world than
him.
Gen. Lerieux was the owner of
large plantations at Anam. Some he
had Inherited, others he had bought
and Richard was sent out there to
supervise the work on these.
He had been away about six months

Zion Baptist Notes.

The Zion Baptist Sunday
school had its annual picnic at
Lincoln Park, Thursday, Aug.
26. 1t was a nice affair. The
children enjoyed themselves with
the different amusements, such
as swinging, playing ball, etc.
All of the teachers were present
and joined the children in their
harmless sport. Who says town
people don't have anything to
eat. know they are mistaken
for it was an old fashion country
picnic and every thing was plenti'
full and all ate TO their hearts
content. Ice cream was served
in abundance.
Mrs r. B. Williams and Wal
ter Wells spared no pains in
making the necessary arrange
ments for it to be an enjoyable
outing for the school. DR.. B. L.
Ivory and wife were with US and
enjoyed themselves to the high
est. Lincoln Park is grand
place for picnics of the kind.
There was a lawn social given
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Nathan Smith. 18th and CasS
streets, Friday evening, Aug. q.
1t was grand affair as we'll as a
success.
Rev. Williams was thrown
from his bicycle Friday afternoon
and sustained several bruises.
He hopes to be all right soon.
Rev. Williams and wife. Mes
sers. Walter Wells and Nathan
Smith went to Champaign, Aug.
80. to attend the Wood River
Association. They anticipate
grand time during their absence.

Schnepp's Decree.

Mayor Schnepp has let go the

player can be induced to don an All
Hawaii uniform. Hampton has base
ball noodle all the time, and he knows
the inside of the great national game
probably as well as any player or fan
in the Islands. He has expressed re-
luctance to get into the game any
more, but for the honor of Hawaii and
the future of baseball in Honolulu he
should get out this time.
Harry Bruins and Mckenzie are
slated for left field, and this duo is
competent. Harry Bruins was one of
the hardest hitters in the league last
season, and can be depended on for a
lively tap at the right stage of the
game. En- Sue, the whirlwind little
speeder, and Olmos of the Diamond
Heads will do service in the center
garden, and Walker and Will Desha
will do their duty in right.

tioc, cdh loicc INC cudHipiuuo W Uc up

a rather easy time of it in the Far East,
although they didn't walk away with
the nifty little Keios, and it is up to
the boys here to show them high
standard bit of Island baseball. 1t is
either play this series, or play not at
all, according to leading player to-
day.
''We must play those fellows" he
said, "for the league has guaranteed
them $500. Unless we come through
with this sum by furnishing them with
games, the league trustees will decide
that baseball enthusiasm in the Islands
has totally disappeared, and will tear
down the grandstand at the park. This
is fact. 1t is play now, or play not
at all.n
Eddie Fernandez will have seen all
the players before the meeting today
at noon, and his statement will make an
interesting report. Honolulu wants to
see those All-American players in ac-
tion., They are the best of the best,
holding down positions in the best pro-
fessional teams in the world.

JOE COHEN HAS
FIGHTING PAIR

Joel Cohen, the genial impresario-
prize-fght promoter has been heard
from again. VIII Prestidge received a
letter from Joe on the last boat from
the Coast, stating that he had pract; cal.
ly signed up with two mug-smashers
TO come down here. They are both in
the same class with Dick Sullivan, who
at present is the real Mccoy in Homo
lulu.
The fighting game will be given n
decided impetus if Cohen sings his
hooks around the two gentlemen of the
squared ring with whom he is negotiat-
ing. The first and foremost man or
the duo is Kyle Whitney, who has mixed
things with Dick. Sullivan on two differ.
ent occasions, with even honors. The
first time that Sullivan and Whitney
pelted each other, the latter broke his
arm in the eleventh canto and the de-
cision was handed out to Sullivan. But
platter, for the ten rounds that the
two youngsters went to 1T before the
broken bone incident were as hard
fought as any ever were, with advan-
tage on neither side.
Considerable time after this, Sullivan
and Whitney met again. To Whitney
Col tla
three rounds of grilling give-and take.
Sullivan looked to be the "money" the
early part. of this fight, but Whitney
had it on him in point of condition
and training.
When these two bruisers step into
the padded ring in Honolulu, if Cohen
secures Whitney, the greatest fight this
little old burg ever saw is promised.
It will be an eye for an eye and a
tooth for tooth throughout and both
men will be in the pink of training
and condition. Odds will not be far
from even when these clever little fight
ers meet.
About George Peterson, the second
man that Cohen has his eye on, little
/ is known here among the fighting fans
Joe stated in his letter that Peterson
had fought with Whitney, but he for.
got to say who was the winner. How.
ever, a man in Whitney's class is GER
tainly. in the same class with Sullivan.
and there will be things doing when
these three swift lads get together.

Resume. Of Sporting
Events, New and Old

New YEARS. Day Will be suitably
celebrated, from sporting standpoint,
in these Islands, and if the first day of
the year may be taken as criterion
on the rest of 1909, the world of sport
dom will be full of events Of interest
and significance. Baseball enthusiasm
has been none of the best during the
latter part of the 1908 season, but this
was due more to an apathy ON the
part Of the players themselves than on
the part of the loyal fans. The com.
ing of the Reach All-American team
will undoubtedly have the good effect
of dispelling the lack of interest that
has been the order of late, to a great
degree, as did the trip Of the Pacific
Coast Stars 10 these Islands in 1907.
For a time shortly afterwards Homo
luln was surfeited with baseball, with
the result that, after a few months,
the players grew stale and the
standard of the national game here
fell pereeptibly. Es
Other sports have taken a decided
Impetus during the year just past, and
new sports have been introduced. To
