New York March 7.-There has been a constant stream of callers at the home of Frank H. Platt, on West 74th street to-day. Few entered the house but all united in leaving cards and messages Of condolence for the family of former United States Senator Thom- as Collier Platt, one of the last sur vix ors of the "Sta1wart half breed fighting Republican politicians in the state of New York, whose body, erna- viated and worn to a shadow by illness of four years duration, rests in the darkened parlor of the house. Many Of those who called were benef1c1arles of the dead man. Others were part or a machine he created while still oth- the Republican party, now in the sao- dle in the state. All expressed regret over the death of the man whose feeble figure could always be found in the thick of the fight up to four years ago.
 The Progressives have captured the machine and when the turf closes above the silent form of the old Sen- ator up in Tioga county on Thursday there will be buried with it all that is left of the +'P1att Machine" which made and unmade state and national politicians.
 The family has decided that there will be no public funeral in this city. The body will be taken away on an early train tomorrow to the old home in Owego from which in 1850 young Platt started out first to make his mark in the political world as a sing CT of songs. He will be buried in the old village graveyard alongside of the wife of his youth and prior to the burial simple services will be held in the old village church of which as a member of the drug firm of Platt & Hull, the dead man was for years a deacon.

THE HAWAII NOT

was told that one of the papers had
stated that the full amount had been
turned in, and if any one ought to
know about it I think an one of tine

told large proportion of the amount
has been subscribed, with other people
still to be heard from, ana we all
feel that the necessary amount will
be in before the yacht has been gone

GOLF DAY PLANNED.

The biggest golf tournament ever
planned by the members Of the Coun-
try Club has been arranged for Mon
day next, the golfers of the club taking
part in a DOGGY tournament for which
suitable and handsome prizes have
been donated.
Jack Belser VINO won the tourna-
ment last Saturday will have to go
some on Monday if he wants to beat
old Colonel DOGGY, as the record for
the nine holes is lower than Belser
has ever made with his handicap
Entries for the tournament will be
kept open until ten o'clock in the
morning, the usual fee being charged
to defray necessary expenses. Near
ly all the members have stated their
willingness to enter the tournament
which has always been the case in any
event ever planned for the benefit of
the Country Club. A bus will run at
regular intervals during the day from
the end of the Nuuanu Avenue car line
the usual price being charged the
members to riGe.

it is used by some of the club mem
bers entirely, but all who hold any
stock is welcome at all times to go
out whenever they wish to, providing
they don't leave it until the last mo-
ment before the yacht is going out
on a cruise.
"The matter of trying to raise
money for the yacht has been a very
hard one at all times, and think that
the people who have so generously
contributed this time deserve a lot Of
thanks, as the race is going to be a
good advertisement of Hawaii"

About the Mayas of YuCatan

At intervals in all parts of the region
now called Mexico and Central Ameri-
en- there are to be seen pyramids and
the ruins Of temples and other struc-
lures, that from their nature and magni-
tude must have been erected by people
superior in knowledge to any discovered
by the Spanish invaders in the early
years of the sixteenth century, and
the dense tropical forests Of the penin-
sula of Yucatan have overgrown the
remains of hundreds of cities and
towns, with great buildings, largely of
cut stone and ornamented with carvings
and stucco IN manner TO make
them rival in maGnifcence the best
structures of Europe and Asia at the
date of Columbus's discovery of the
West India islands.
Many Of these magnificent structures
were occupied as places Of worship by
by Grijolva, Cortez and others, but the
Spaniards were so greatly shocked by
the character of the worship that they
could see no beauty in the buildings nor
appreciate the value of the hero
glyphics and manuscripts preserved in
the temples. This failure to appreciate
the value Of the Indian literature led to
orders by the commanders to distroy all
manuscripts and deface hieroglyphic
writings.

sea coast, and gradually extended in

heart of the peninsula, and there yet
