ONE MAN ARRESTED
Wreckless Driving Causes Accident
on First Street.

Reckless driving about eight o'clock
Tuesday evening was the cause OF an
accident on South First street, near
the Elks' building, that resulted in
painful injury to Miss Ida Glover
and George Besecker, with whom she
was riding. A couple of buggies
were being raced furiously down the
street. One of tn erigs collided with
the buggy driven by Mr.. Besecker,
who made every effort to get out or
the way. Wheels were smashed and
shafts broken. The crash of the two
buggies threw Miss Glover against the
seat in such a manner as to cause
painful injury to the side. Mr.. Beseck-
er was only slightly hurt. Miss Glover
was taken to her home, No. $40 Sec
ond avenue east and physicians were
summoned. She suffered much pain
and is Frustrated to-day, complaining
of much soreness. The hurts, though
severe, are in the nature of bruises
and are not considered serious. The
patient will be confined to her home
several days. The police, later in the
evening, learned the names OF the
young men who were racing. Rich
ard Dowd, one of the fellows, was ar
rested and placed In Jail. Mayor BAG
on placed the bond for appearance
at $500 pending the hearing OF the case
when Miss Glover is able to attend
the trial. The other men are said to
be Mr.. Shafer and Mr.. Parry. War
rants have been issued for their ar
rest but they had not been found at
noon to day.

THE OLD SOLDIER.
(By Charles W. White.)

10y SHdIleS w. WultS'J
The sunlight cleaned on the dancing
waves,
Their crests the sea gulls tipped;
The softly whispering winds astir
No voice of warning Tipped,
When from embrasure on the shore
That ball of hell was hurled;
And men stood still and listened, mute
To that "shot heard round the
world
Like the voice of an angry, terrible god
That sullen, awful roar
Chilled the blood in the nations veins
And startled her heart to the core
flushed then the tnrobbing, busy world
No sound the stiffness rent;
Twas the fearful awe of that Eden day
When the wrath of God was sent.
One moment thus we brave men stood
While our mothers knelt to pray;
Then rang the voice OF that martyred
man,
Those stars are there to stay!"
Twas heard in the valley and over the
plain,
1t resounded from crag to crag;
and farm,
Not a star falls from that fiag!"
From the hills of New England and
out of the west,
Came loyal men and true;
From shore to shore, from the lakes
to the line,
Rang cheers for the red, white and
blue.
Under the sullen clouds of war,
Fond eyes in silence wept;
Into the sweet and loving hearts
A deadly fear there crept;
For-to the field in phalanx deep,
With minds to duty strung,
Marched in the dawn the brain and
Drawn
OF valor still unsung.
Then came the carnage, fierce and wild,
And the price of wars decree
Was human lives; and blood ran red,
From streamlet to the sea.
See the banners proudly waving,
See the glints of the arms of steel;
See how men their wounds are Drawing
Hear the bells of victory peal.
See the heroes clad In tatters,
Mustered in for the first Bull Run;
See the CRIME and rags-what matters
Mastering out at Washington.
Ye battle-scarred compatriot ones,
For wealth or station what cared ye?
Yet gave thy guerdon to thy sons
Our glorious strength in unity.
One by one these old men falter,
One by one their race is done;
One by one the last Great Altar
With the souls at Arlington.
Bow we now in homage tender,
To the few who yet enrolls,
Gratitude they sons now render,
Guard, o, God, these glorious souls.

Message.

New York, Sept. 7.-Peary has sue,

From out the Arctic darkness there
was flashed this message, which
stunned the scientific world and
thrilled the heart of every layman.
From the bleak coast of Labrador
Peary gave to the world the news
that he had attained his goal in the
far north, while at the same moment
in far off Denmark DR.. Frederick A.
Cook of Brooklyn was being dined and
lionized by royalty for the same
achievement.
Undeniably Yankee grit has con-
quered the frozen north and there has
been created coincidence such as

Americans have planted the flag of
their country in the land of ice which
man has sought to penetrate for four
centuries; and each ignorant of the

period of five days laconic message
of success to the waiting world.

WRITES A LETTER

The following is one of several let
tiers that have been received at this
office. This one is published on account
of the wellknown sportsmanlike pro-
clivities of the slgner and his unassail-
able position as straight and true
instigator of the sporting spirit.
"Sporting Editor, Advertiser: AS
an admirer of the manly art |, for one,
intend to take in the glove contest
at the Orpheum on the evening of Sat
urday, July "a. While, probably,
seventy-fve per cent. of the fans in
town would like to see Sullivan and
Cordell in another contest, | feel that
Mr. Cohen has not been treated fairly
by either of the two men and, in view
of the fact that Mr.. Cohen has been
risking his own money in getting good
men from the Coast to tackle some of
our local boxers, it is up to The Boys
to patronize the Orpheum.

RINGERS CAN
PLAY CRICKET

Oh. what do you know about thiss
The Ringers have cricket team and
they are going to play the Ecclesiastics
week from tomorrow at Makiki. In
other words a team from Theo. III.
Davies & Co. will play one from Bishop
& Co.
Both institutions number mostly
sportsmen among their employees and
they are both capable of putting up an
excellent game at anything from pino-
chile to surfriding. That this cricket
match has been arranged is only more
evidence of the recent boom in the
British game and the interest that is
being taken in the coming visit to
Maui. Any man who can handle d
bat and catch ball is going to miss
the best trip of his life if he does not
get in and make the team that is to
go to Maui next month.
