1t is announced that a firm on the
Alabama coast will put up sailed null
let, like mackerel, under its own prop
er name, and will place the product
on the market.
1t Is strange that this has not been
done before, as the mullet Is plentiful
at certain seasons, can be caught in
gulf waters all the year, and keeps
well In brine, or smoked and sailed.
The product was placed on the mar

years ago as Mexican mackerel," and

BRING HIM BACK.

| The examination Of long-buried
body and its Refinement IL not at
all an unusual event. and as we know,
this is often attended by a.great deal
OF pomp and ceremony. particularly II
the dead person was one of conse-
quence. One of the latest propositions
OF the kind relates to the body OF
William Penn. who. as every schoolboy
and girl knows. was the founder Of the
Penn colony and of the great State
that hears his name. 1t may not be
out OF place to remark that Penn was
one OF the few European settlers In
America to teach that there were good
Indians who were not dead ones. and
one Of the few to treat the Indians like
human beings. He had precious few
imitators In his day.
But to get back to the subject OF
removing dead bodies. and to this one
in particular. Penn died at a sor,e-
what obscure town. called Ruscomse, in
Berkshire. England. July 80, J7Is, and
was buried at the same place For
nearly two centuries the body has rest
ed quietly in its modest grave In the
little town. Now 1t is proposed to dis
inter the remains and bring them over
and give them fitting burial in the
state he founded and loved SO wei
We do not know. whether the project
is feasible. or whether there would be
any objection on the part Of the au-
thorities~ or citizens Of the obscure
place where he now lies. II It can be
done we think there could be no doubt
as to the propriety Of giving him a
suitable prominent resting place In
PENNSYLVANIA.
And yet when we come to think of
the matter. 1t might be that If the sim
pie and honest old Quaker could be
permitted to know all that is going on
In his State. and all that has transpirsd
here Of late years he might prefer to
rest quietly where he now is. Neither
the political nor of1cial history OF
Pennsylvania for a number of years
has been of q character that would be
pleasant to man of his kind. He
might prefer. to remain where he is
to being put down for all time In a
State that has had so many black
marks on Its record. Still, II # can
be done his body should be brought
over and given burial and a resting
place fitting for such man. We may
add that we learn that Representa-
tives of the Keystone State in Congress
have entered into negotiations with
the State Department, and from ali
sides come the most favorable reports.
1t is a laudable movement, and the pre-
diction is made that when more ia
known of it throughout the country
approval will be practically unaninoug.

miliar with his life and habits 10 say
whether he possesses the expert knowl-
edge on the subject that will be re-

as the highest Official in the govern

not settle anything. We suspect. after

ONE BIG GUN PROVES Defective
KAPIOLANL
POLO Field
WAIKIKI PARK TO HAVE FINE
FIELD FOR POPULAR SPORTS.

The plan for the building of a polo
field at Kapiolani Park has been re-
vived and is now being crystalized
into concrete form which will soon
develope into action. 1t is estimated
that from $4,000 to $4,000 VIII be need
ed for the construction of a suitable
field which will add greatly the beau
ty of the park and will form an amuse-
ment ground and give free exhibition
that will be enjoyed by a great many
PEOPLE. The games at present are be-
ing played at Leilehua, as the Moana-
lua field is not in condition for play,
which is too far away for any except
those who own motors to attend. In
any event a second field near to this
city is ba Iy needed as constant play
on one field rapidly puts it out of
shape
The plan is to obtain loan from
some nearby source and build a field
which will take up about half the race
track enclosure at the Waikiki end
A pergolia, with concrete floor and
covered with bouganivilla vines would
be placed at the center of the field
on the makai side, which would make
pleasant resting place for the friend
of the players and add to the beauty
of the park to considerable degree.
Palms could be planted at small ex-
pense to form drives which would
keep the autos from running over the
turf in an indescriIninate manner, and
many other schemes which would add
to the beauty and usefulness of the
field are being suggested. The plan
is to raise the money needed for the
work by subscription and have the
work done under the charge of Su-
perintendent Young of the Park
When the field is completed it will be
turned over to the park authorities,
who will make the proper regulations
for care and handling. The expense
of maintenance will be small con-
sisting chiefly of watering the turf
after it has once grown.
From the present indications it
seem likely that the matter will be
taken up Immediately and that it will
be but short time before work is
commenced on the field in earnest.
Not only are the local players much
interested, but the coming Of the ca
valry has added greatly to the gem
eral local interest taken in the sport.
In addition to this the players from
the other islands are enthusiastic,
Frank Baldwin writing by the mail
received today, that he believes that
it would be the be t possible thing
for polo in the Territory.
