Injury Sustained By A
sa Bicycle

Master Frank Mcfarland, residing
on Wooster avenue, met with an un-
fortunate accident while riding BIZ
cycle at Riverside park on Sunday aft
ernoon. He was riding in company
with another boy when his is3companion
fell off his bicycle and, as he was
riding directly behind the boy who
fell, his wheel collided with the fallen
one and as result, there was a gen.
eral mix-up. The Mcfarland boy
alighted on his right hand, when he
fell to the ground, the force of the
fall being sufficient to break the
bones in, the wrist. He went to the
office of DR.. James F. Lee where the
fractures were reduced.

MONUMENT
To Writer Of "HOmG Sweet
Home To Be Erected

Schenectady, n. Y, May 29-The
plrit or John Howard Payne, the
81 ger OF Home. Swee. Home, is to
invited to repose en- the campus of his
alma mater, Union College, where
Payne was student one hundred.odd
years ago. There gateway is to be
erected in memory OF him. A bust of
the poet will be set in a niche in the
front face Of the central pylon. On
the inner face the simple words of the
song that touches the heart of the
VI ria win be inscribed on tablet of
bronze. Youths could not move to
and fro to filter strains.
Legends have gathered about the
memory of John Howard Payne. It
is supposed that his life was filed
with vagrancy and sorrows. The truth
Is hardly so Again, there is an i'm
preston that his career was some
what Intellectual and a failure. Meth
er is thus true. True :. is that he did
not in all respects fulfill the expecta-
tions of his admirers, nor even his
own; true, also, that fortune did not
favor him with Just recompense for
his labors. Yet, all deducted, to have
sung Home, Sweet Home" is enough
and sufficient title to immortality.
John Howard Payne, the precocious
child Of excellent parents, was born
In New York on June 9, 1871. His
father was worthy man of good an
cestry, who made name for himself
as principal of the Clinton Academy,
in East Hampton, L. l., and later as
principal of school in Boston. His
mother was the daughter of a Jewish
resident of East Hampton named
isaacs, who is commemorated in the
village graveyard as an Israelite, in
deed, in whom there was no guile"
Payne seems to have derived the
sweet simplicity that breathes
through his unaying song from his
good mother.
His mothers home was the goal of
his Affections. He has left a charm
ing picture of her native village in
his essayq on "Our Neglected Poets"
Here his thoughts found a hearth 1t
is pleasant to suppose and probable,
too, that East Hampton was in his
memory when he wrote of home,
sweet home
The elder Payne's residence in New
York was in interim in the practice
OIL his profession. He had gone to
the, great city, to try his fortune, but
fortune, did not favor him. He there
fore. moved to Boston in 1886, to re-
sumo his school teaching as master
of the Berry Street Academy. In
Bosom John Howard Payne spent his
early boyhood years, and it was here
that his die was cast.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Called Out At Nine O'clock On Sunday
Morning

The city fire department was called
to the corner of North Norton street
and Austin avenue at about o'clock
Sunday morning by small blaze
which broke out on the first floor of a
house at that point. The fire was ex-
tinguished before the arrival of the
department and their services were
not necessary. The origin of the blaze
was not known as there was no fire in
the stove in the room. The damage
was very small.

The Crow rha. Wears a Foors Cap.

: ne STOW indI NCdTS SS' zap
The following clever way of keeping
crows away from grainfield is used
by the farmer of Holland: He makes
some small caps of stout paper and
smears around the inner side OF the
mouth of each some birdlime or other
sticky stuff. In these he puts some
grains of corn and stands them about
his fields by pressing their points into
soft earth. When the crow finds one
of these paper caps he thinks himself
in great luck until he attempts TO peck
at the tempting grain, when. to his
astonishment. he finds the cap attach
ed to his head--a regular FOOLS cap
which will not even allow him to see
what course to take If he flies up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass or bushes and after
much bewildered scrambling and flop
ping about gets his head out Of this
undesirable cap and ever afterward
avoids the field where there are more
of them. 4n4

THE GUN CLUB
CHAMPIONSHIP

The Gun Club championship COM
petition which is TO take place this
afternoon on the club grounds on the
Lower Beach road, is attracting
good deal of attention among gun
club members and it is anticipated,
that there will be good muster by
five o'clock when the tourney is timed
to start. The fifty-bird handicap which
will take place at the same time as
the championship will help consider
ably in assuring a large attendance
as the men who do not consider
themselves good enough shots TO COM
pete for championship honors will
have their opportunity in the handi-
cap. AS announced yesterday there
will be a good deal of life shown by
this club during the coming months,
as weekly shoots have been decided
upon. These will take the form of
handicaps under varying conditions
SO that all members of the club Will
have a chance of making good at the
particular style of shooting which
meets their fancy. The ten-bird
handicap at unknown angles, I'M
known traps, fixed for the 18th inst,
is a competition which calls for con-
siderable skill but the element OF
uncertainty which prevails in com
petitions of this nature adds greatly
to their popularity. The second
weekly competition is a twenty-bird
shoot at known angles and this is ex-
pected to excite just as much interest
among the members as the opening
handicap.
President James w. Harvey, OF ~,
o. Hall and Sons, extends cordial
invitation to the general public ID
witness the shooting at the club this
afternoon as we'll as on all future
occasions when matches are In pro-
greSS.

NEW FIGHTS
SCHEDULED

Radical changes have been made in
the boxing bouts arranged for next
Saturday evening in the Orpheum the.
alter but the changes can hardly be
laid at the door of the promoter. In
the first case the main event between
Fink and Armstrong has had to be
cancelled on account of the quaran-
tine regulations which exist at Lei
lehua. None of the soldiers are allow
ed out of the reservation and, in con-
sequence, Armstrong can not be pres
ent to fight Fink. Jackson announces
that in lieu of Armstrong he has
matched Harding with Fink, in order
to give Harding an opportunity to
make good.
1t will be remembered that at the
last bouts Fink and Harding met, the
former winning in twenty-five Sec
onds. Just as the fight started Hard.
ing handed out a couple of blows
which surprised Fink somewhat but
he jumped right in, sent Harding
against the ropes and outed him.
Harding says that blow was fiuke
and n justice to Harding in our report
of the contest we asked the ques-
ton: Was it fiuke? Not only aoes
Harding incline to the belief that
the blow which finished the fight was
a chance one, but there are others
like minded.
The De Mello-West scrap is also
off.
The Denton Sarcone, Simmons Cans
and Melnotte-Harrigan bouts will be
put on as announced, except that Den.
ton and Sarcone will fight eight rounds
for the lightweight title.
In place of the West-De Mello con-
test Jackson hopes to match two
heavyweights in the persons of Con,
fione, of the 159th Artillery, and I'D
May of Honolulu, both well known
| locally, he says.

its membership and adopting a plan
of action likely to bring Il more
closely in touch with the public. The
policy of secret action by the direc.
tors was abandoned by resolution, as
well as the policy of keeping secret
the list Of members, and II was de.
cided b. secure Chinese and Japanese
membership on the board of direc-
tors, Dr. Mitamura being chosen as
the Japanese representative. Ralph
Hosmer spoke against the secrecy
plan, and his views were adopted at
once.
The matter of the proposed Japan.
csc park along Nuuanu stream was
revived, and the directors were
authorized to call public meeting
to discuss it. The stretch along the
bed of the stream, where it is propos-
ed to have the park, was declared by
Burton Holmes, the noted traveller,
to be the most beautiful spot in all

himself. Under ordinary circumstan-
ces the crew would have no trouble
in getting shore-leave for such a pur-
pose, but under existing conditions,
having in mind the outbreak of chol-
era, it is, indeed, doubtful whether
this permission will be granted. How
ever, the effort to arrange the match
will be made, and If by any chance
the match does take place the team
to represent Honolulu will be one in
which every reliance can be placed.
The league officials will select a
strong team, as they were ready to do
in case the proposed match against
H. M. S. Kent had been played. If
there is any chance of a game the op-
portunity will not be lost, and as much
notice of the game as is possible will
be given, in order that all soccer fans
may roll up and see the match. The
younger sports of the community who
are taking an interest in this game
should make a point of being present
at all costs, as there is much to be
learned from the skill of the sailors.
The Algerine team may not be a crack
one, but it is quite on the cards that
there will be eleven men on board cap.
able Of putting up a good game.
However, the matter is only in a
tentative stage. It is not asserted
that the match will take place, simply
that the league boys will do what
they can towards arranging a contest.
AS to time, date and venue, these are
be settled until a match is actually
decided upon.
