SPOR T S
SCRAPS FULL Of
GOLDEN PROMISE

People who are not discussing the
arrival of the Mikeites are talking of
the Smith-Reilly scientific exhibition
of boxing which takes place at the
Orpheum on Saturday night. A great
many people are discussing both.
Both men are confident. Reilly
threatens to smash the stats of his
opponent and frankie of the great
Smith family is on record as having
stated that when he gets through with
Charlie the pastor of the latter's
church won't know him
From the above golden promises ii
may be gathered that there will be a
gentle and joyous passage OF arms al
the Orpheum on Saturday night.
Apart from joking. however the mill
promises to be good one and the
spectators should get a good run fol
their money. 1t is up to Promoter
Cohen to put a good one over in the
bGllG NIlOl NcllllllSllb llll1 anu IL llN hOSt
so the local fight-gOers will warm VI
to him in a manner which will tickle
the cookies of his heart-that is where
those particular shellfish are reputec
to be located.
DO you know who will win? Nay
nay, Pauline, nary know.
{ With a clean break, however, Reilly
should get the decision. If the war
fare be waged under stranght rules,
however, Smith should have a decided
look in.
Eddie Hines and Kid Boquet will fur
nish the curtain raiser and their rounds
should be replete with action. So
should the eight-round argument in
which "Punchbowl" Silva and Soldier
Miller will participate.
| If Miller gets away with the Portu-
guese he will be looked on as factor
in the row among the big fellows des-
pite the mess he made of his go with
Dick Sullivan A defeat, however, at
the hands of the alleged demon will
assuredly sound taps over Mr.. Mil
lers pugilistic career. Therefore, as
an eminent divine once said, it be-
hooves him to do his best.
The sale of seats has commenced II
you notice a human stream vending
its way toward the Orpheum's classic
portals, you may know by the same
token, that the rush for pasteboards il
fast and furious.

CAPTAIN REEFS
At MANILA BAY

After a chowder served at small ia
bles, in the parish home last night,
the Mems League of Central Union
church heard reports from the differ
ent sections. All were shown to be in
good working order. Captain c. P.
Ress, U. S. NJ, then delivered an ad-
dress on Personal Recollections." He
told of his first visit to Honolulu in
1873 in the cruiser Portsmouth and of
later visits. Proceeding he gave gra-
phic account of the Battle of Manila,
in which he served as executive officer
to Admiral Dewey on board the Olym-
pia. The audience followed him with
intense interest and applauded him
with enthusiasm.

TAG DAY COMING

Tag Day. an institution for charity
which has proved a success on the
coast, is to be introduced in Honolulu.
February is the date fixed. "Save
the Babies will be the slogan, the OBJ
ject of the money from the gentle hold
ups being the extension of the pure
milk supply for children. Committees
were appointed at meeting at the
home of Mrs. F. j. Lowrey yesterday
morning.
The city was districted and the task
of reaching practically every person in
Honolulu will be undertaken. A hun
dred or more young ladies will be ac-
tual solicitors. and they will be armed
with tags and banks for the money
The collectors will be chaperoned from
downtown headquarters. Organiza-
ton will be very thorough, work will
be from seven in the morning till five
in the evening, and it is planned TO
use 10000 tags, which have been given
by the Advertiser, the Star and the
Merchantile Printing Company. Sums
of money from a nickel to checks for
$1,000 will be gratefully accepted and
will be used judiciously.

TRILBY GREEN
ON THE LEAD

Trilby Green the mare owned by
Charlie David and recently thought
well enough of to be entered for the
rich Merchants Stakes, run in Hilo on
New Years Day, is today working be-
tween the shafts of a hack.
The mare was bred in the purple,
being by Imp All Green out of Tribula-
ton.
At the Coast she showed rar ed
but was what is known anon ne
railbirds as morning glory That
is, she would run fast enough in her
workouts to win stakes but refused
to run at all when the colors were up
and the stable money was down.
Trilby Green worked a nice mile and
a quarter on the Hilo track in 2:1S
Then she got sulky and kept it up over
the meeting. In the only two races
she started in she ran like an arrant
jade.
Some horses are highly strung and
consequently hard to get away at the
barrier or when the flag falls. Others,
who give the some trouble, are pigs
purely and simply. Trilby Green be-
longs to the latter class.
She showed herself no good for rae
ing purposes and on account of her
swinish disposition, breeding her would
be only too apt to turn out to be a
parlous experiment.
Therefore it's Trilby ION the lead to-
day"

BIDGOOD WRITES

St. Clair Bidgood, manager of the
Haleiwa Hotel, doesn't want the pro-
posed local Marathon to be run at Ka-
piolani Park or over any other course
than from Honolulu to Haleiwa. In
a letter to the sporting editor of The
Star, Bidgood states that he will do
all in his power to make the race a
success and asks that nothing definite
be done in the matter uitil he has had
a chance to confer with the committee
or to be present at meeting shortly
to be called of all persons interested in
the projected race

SIGNS

Mayor Fern yesterday afternoon
signed the payrolls and salary demands
passed by the Board of Supervisors
and the question of whether or not
warrants shall issue was thus put up
to Auditor Bicknell. But Mayor Fern
was careful in countersigning the do
cuments to state his position in the
matter, and where there is a dispute
as to employees, whether they are le-
gally appointed, he affixes the follow
ing by way of PREAMBLE to counter
| signature:
| without prejudice to my conten-
ton that the within demand or de-
mands are illegal because in favor OF
a person or persons not legally an en-
ploye of the city and county, and
without prejudice to my contention
that the resolution appropriating mo-
ney, among other purposes, to pay the
within demand or demands, is illegal
and void (being Resolution Making
Appropriations for the Various Servi-
ces of the City and County of Homo
lulW, and without certifying otherwise
to the legality of the within demand
or demands, hereby countersign the
same"
On payrolls and salary demands
where there is no question of validity
of appointment but where the Mayor
questions the legality of the appropria-
ton, he merely notes that he counter
signs without prejudice to his conten-
ton that the appropriations are not
legal

REMEDY FOR ECZEMA
Why Salves Fail While Simple Liquid
Has Accomplished Thousand of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely skin disease,
due to a germ and durable only through
the skin. 1t is not a blood disease at
all; in fact, thousands of people suf-
fer with skin disease and are perfect
ly healthy otherwise, and therefore
prove they have no diseased blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not penetrate
the skin. The only way to reach the
germs is by means of a penetrating
liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil of winter
green with thymol, glycerine and 9TH
er healing agents. This compound
known as d. d. D. Prescription stops
the itch instantly-and the cures all
appear to be permanent. In fact, it
took thousands of cures, case after
case, before the best scientific author
tiles were convinced of the absolute
merit of this remedy. The effect of
ID. d. d. Prescription in numbing the
itching eczema germs is seen within
one minute after the first application.
We especially recommend d. d. d. Soap
in connection with this treatment. Ho-

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2. 1909.

In an election held in Alabama
Monday. a prohibition amendment
to the State Constitution was de-
feated by a large majority, es-
timatedt at $4,000 Votes. That
election was the first popular ex-
preston in Alabama on the SUBJ
ject of the prohibition of liquor
selling, but the form in which
the question was submitted was
such that it was hardly a test Of
the prohibition sentiment in
the State. The Statewide prohi-
bition bill was passed by a Legis-
lature which had been elected on
a local-sption platform, and,
though several counties had de-
elared for prohibition under the
local-option act, the voters of the
entire State had never before
been called on to pass on the
question direct. Personal poll.
tics entered into the election and
it was the most radical prohibi
ton bill ever submitted to the
people of any State. One of the
provisions of the bill would have
given to the Legislature the
power to prohibit citizens
from keeping liquors in theil
homes, if at any time pro
hibition enthusiasm became
strong enough to demand thi:
drastic action. 1t was not only {
defeat for the amendment, but il
regarded as a reputation of Gov
Conner and his political followers
who sought to fix themselves il
power.
