Old Timers Cheered

Gate City Guide, Rapid City-The
fact that the Miller Hooks, cham
pions of twenty years ago, were in
line is worthy of more than passing
mention. The banner carried by
this organization and won a score of
years ago, attracted much attention.
Several members of the old company
were in line, They took part in the
tournaments of 1886, 1887, 1888,
1889 and 1890 and carried off a good
" number of prizes. 1t was twenty
three years ago that the Lloneers of
Miller organized a hook and ladder
team to attend the state firemen's
tournaments and to contest for
prizes. The first team went to
Pierre in 1886. Subsequently the
team participated in tournaments
at Yankton in 1889, and Pierre in
1890. The company won three
times in succession and thus came
into permanent possession of the
banner seen in the parade of We'd
nesday. The company and banner
were recognized by fremen who
were not in line and both were loud
ly cheered.

Indoor Golf.

In the eighteenth century golf
courts or alleys were rooted over to
protect them from sun and rain,
wind and falling leaves, so that peo-
pie might golf undisturbed in all
weathers. These formed long wood
en- sheds, eighty feet long and TWEEN
ty broad, covered with tiles. The
floor, which consisted of a mixture
of earth and lime, was made hard,
smooth and perfectly level. At a
quarter distance from each end
stood a pin turned out of hard
wood. For two feet of its height it
was thickly coated with bell metal,
so as to give a sharp sound when
struck by the large leather balls.
Around the golf alley were little Ia
bles and stools for the onlookers.
So one finds them in north Holland
still. The game in fact had been
reduced almost to parlor golf

GREETING SPRING.
An Old and Picturesque Custom In
Switzerland

The LIST of March is a day of JOY
full festivity among the school chill
dren in most of the Engadine COM
munes in Switzerland. At 4 o'clock
in the morning a party of school
boys march through the village
changing cowbells, big and little,
with all their might to proclaim the
dawn of a boisterous day to their
slumbering schoolmates still abed.
AS the day grows bright the boys
gather, each n with a huge bell
hung around his neck, on the vii
lage square, where they form in
ranks, according to their size. When
the preparations, always conducted
amid great excitement and juvenile
jubilation, have been completed the
procession starts on a tour through
the streets to the accompaniment
of furious bell ringing and noisy
yodeling.
One of the eldest of the demon
strators, with a milk pail on his
shoulder and dressed in the costume
of a dairyman, with yellow breechcs,
white stockings, low shoes, finely
embroidered braces over a shirt of
spotless white, turned up sleeves,
displaying a brawny arm, the dairy
mans hat perched jauntily on the
back of his head, marches proudly
at the head of the herd. At the
end of the procession is another big
boy with a big staff in his hand like
a herdsman.
All this reminds us of the way
the COWS go to the Alps to the
sound of bells. The whole festival
is nothing but a spring celebration
to herald the return of the mildcr
season, which has been looked for
ward to with longing for months.
The custom is said to be of Ro-
man origin; hence its name, "Cha-
landa MARI" (from Kalendare),
which justiies the assumption that,
from the period of the year chosen
for the observance of this festival.
it must have originated in the mild
climate of Italy and not in the cold
cline of the Engadine.
In the way described the troop
marches on from house to house and
is presented by the matronS with
rice, chestnuts, sausageS, bread and
ever money. The hotels are all Wis
tied, and the guests always contrib
ute some small change. Out of the
proceeds a general jollifcation is
provided, in which the girls of the
neighborhood take part.
How intense is the youngsters
enjoyment of the Chalanda MARI
festivities a scarcely be imagined
by any one who has not looked on
at these annual junketings.-Ex-
change.

VIDA'S BAND
ARE VULTURES
SAYS De BOLT
THEY ARE FINED $3.50 EACH AF-
TER A SEVERE LECTURE FROM
THE COURT.

Judge De Bolt took the best of an
hour this afternoon to severely lecture
Willie Vida ct ais, on the sinfulness
of professional gambling, before he
handed out sentences designed to fit
their guilt, to wit, the fine of $3.50
each.
He called Vida, George Kaea, Apo
.liona and George Kekipi everything
that could be applied appropriately
declaring that they were no better
than vultures who devoured the flesh
and left nothing but the bones.
He branded them professional gam
blers of dangerous type and hoped
their punishment would be a warning.
His Honor also referred to former
speech of his in regard to gambling,
remarking that while some gambIed
in filthy dens there were others who
sinned in gilded palaces.
Motion for new trials, was made on
the ground that one of the members
of the jury is a special officer. This
point will come up for argument on
Saturday morning.
The gang sentenced this afternoon
is the same exposed by A. P. Taylor
who surprised Vida and the rest in the
midst of their illegal practice.

TRIAL ON

Andrew Kaupiko, Henry Kahih
and Edward Mikalemi Jr., three young
Hawaiians looking too respectful to
be in such a situation, were put on
their trial in Judge De Bolts court
this morning for robbery in the sec

M. Poepoe are counsel for the defend

Honolulu may before long have
permanent astronomical observatory
in connection with the College of Ha-
wall.
Halley's approaching comet has
much to do with Fastening such a
realization. Mainland institutions are
discussing the proposition of having
telescope of considerable power
mounted at Honolulu for the purpose
of observing the brilliant visitor next
year. This is in connection with the
desire of astronomers to follow the
comet in its visible path from avail
able points all round the world.
Among the institutions taking a par
ticularly active interest in Honolulu
for that purpose are an astronomical
society in Pittsburg and the Naval OBJ
servatory in Washington.
A meeting was held at the Univer-
sity Club last night by some of the
faculty and friends of the College of
Hawaii on the matter of an observa-

FOR HONOLULU

tory here. The planning of mainland
astronomers for temporary obser-
vatory in Honolulu for the watching
of Halley's wonder, has inspired the
college people with the idea of having
a permanent observatory here. AT
the meeting the question of a suit
able site for an observatory was dis
cussed. Manoa Valley, the site for the
colleges permanent buildings, is
more subject to cloudiness than is de-
sirable for the purpose. Kaimul1i is
mentioned with considerable favor.
An examination of different localities
will however be made.
Whether permanent or temporary
the initial structure may be, there is
little doubt that telescope will be
mounted there for observing the
comet, 1t is expected also that the
general public will be given oppor-
tunities, during the period of obser-
walton, for taking a peep at the celes-
tial tourist with the flaming queue,

there would much rather have the
Chinese than the Japanese. The lat
ter are too aggressive and overbear-
ing. Employers find them unreliable.
And it has been observed that wher-
ever numbers of Japanese gather,
white people move away.

FORWOMENOF THE LOST CAUSE
DESIGN OF SOUTHERN GIRL FOR
MONUMENT ACCEPTED.
italian Sculptor's Conception I:
Rejected-Memorial's Central
Figure Of Heroic Size.

ATLANTA. August ia design for a
monument to the women of the lost
cause by Miss Belle Kinney, aged twen-
ty-two years. of Nashville has been ac-
copied by several states. 1t is probable
that all the states which left the Union
in the civil war will adopt the design, and
that replicas of the monument will be
placed in the capitols of each state.
The central figure of the monument is
of heroic size, emblematic of the Goddess
of Fame. At the right a reclining figure.
with an expression of sadness. represents
the self-sacrificng southern woman of the
war times. Fame is represented as plac-
ing a wreath on the southern woman's
head. while she supports at her left a
dying and emaciated Confederate soldier.
to whom the southern woman is extend
ing the palm of victory in death. The de-
sign lends itself to reproduction in either
marble or bronze.
The Daughters of the Confederacy and
the Sons of Confederate Veterans decided
on the erection of monument in every
state capitol in Dixie. The work was to
have been done by an Italian sculptor
but when his design was submitted at the
last Confederate reunion in Memphis il
raised storm of protest. The artist had
pictured the southern woman as an ANA
