The three horse races were all good

by John ORourke, just managed to
trim Major Collier at a mile, in the
excellent time of 1:4S1a, which would
have been at least two seconds faster

a neck-and-neck race all the way,

Especial Correspondence Of the Starr
HILO, Hawaii, June 12.-The silken
cord of matrimony followed quickly
upon the hempen cord of strangulation
in the case of the family of Hoosma
Kachniko, who hanged himself a week
ago Friday, at the Waiakea plantation
Last Sunday his widow was joined in
the bonds of matrimony to a Russian
giving his name as Arthur Borteck,
the best man being Police officer 10.
seph Topeka The rites were per
formed by the Rev. Stephen Desha,
who was unaware of the identity OF
the woman till after the ceremony had
been performed.
Kachniko strangled himself with a
piece of fish cord, and the investiga-
ton of the coroner's jury brought in
testimony that his wife had worried
him greatly, not only through the fact
that she was rather promiscuous with
the attentions which she bestowed on
other men, but also on account of the
fact that she was too fond of the flow
ing bowl. Some amount of mystery
surrounded the wedding, as, while Of
ficer Topeka was the master of cere-
monies and escorted the bridal couple
to get their marriage license and also
to the parson, he failed to make any
report to the sheriff of his duties in
the Cupid line. 1t is surmised, how
ever, that he was taking the part of a
Honolulu gentleman, sometimes known
as "Mr Edmunds."
No Sunday Skating.
HILO, Hawaii, June 12.-No skating

sooner was the first glider sailing

Pua's men were on hand and put an
end to the performance. Eddie Fer
nandez of Honolulu, who is working
with Harry Werner, is the promoter of
the rink here and will keep up the
sport on week days, even if he is not
allowed the Sunday privilege. The
crowd which was on hand on Sunday
night was a very large one and ex-
tremely anxious to try rollers.

OLD PORFIRIO To RESIGN

MEXICO CITY, June 3.-Marie
Ocampo, an Oaxaca Indian 50 years
old, who was in the service of Nine.
| Portirio Diaz for nine years, declares
that Sonora Diaz guided the faltering
pen Of the President to his resigna-
ton and then took the message from
the reluctant land Of the old man
and sent it herself to the Chamber of
Deputies for action on the evening Of
May 25th. The servant declares that
Nine Diaz forced her husband TO flee
the city at 4 o'clock in the morning
through fear that he would be assas-
sinated.
President Diaz protested at his
wife's actions and used every argu-
ment possible, but finally was over
come by his wife's pleas and he and
the family fed. The Ocampo woman
said:
ITO his family, Diaz always said
that he would never resign and that
he would not be driven to it, but
would stay and fight it out and that
If need be, die fighting, but my mis-
tress argued night and day with him

more to her than to the ungrateful

such people.

his home on Old Cadena street this
city, with his head buried in his hands
and the tears coursing down his
cheeks.

blazing cried:

face of Madame as she begged Diaz to

the association, the members OF which
insure their own vessels To the ex-
tent of 5 per cent, lost $4,000 on risks
during the season of 1909, II was i'm
possible to say what showing could
be made on last years records, as all
the claims had not been adjusted.
William Livingstone, president OF the
