Hint. to An Ambitious ytllnse.

The village of Jarratt, in Sussex
county. at the junction of the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Virginian Railway,
Jarratt several mercantile establish
ments. a bank and large woodwork
Ing establishment employing many
workmen. The village has the rail-
way and shipping facilities, It is in a
splendid farming section, and there Is
g great deal of timber standing In the
forests whereabouts, and the people are
beginning to think Jarratt ought to
be considerable town with many
factories and moro business concerns
Well, 1t can be II the folks around
there will 30 at the business right.
They need to get together and make
their plans. They need to lay off
their town and let the many prospec-
tors in the country know what induce
ments they have to offer people to go
to Jarratt to start factories and other
things, and they want to make these
inducements very liberal. Some am
bilious villages and towns have FASH
their own people. 1t will not do to
advance the price OF real estate as
soon as the first prospector alights
from the cars. Free sites for factories
and homes sometimes make adjoining
lands worth hundred times more
than they would otherwise be. Yes
with Its advantageous location and its
abundance of raw material in reach
Jarratt can become a good town II the
people there so will it.

No Depreciation Hcrenbout..

An authority on financial matters
writes:
The market depreciation since June
In thirty active railroads and indus.
trial stocks, amounts to 100000. 900
The Hartman stocks have depreciat-
cd SlOO,oOo.oo0. the Hill stocks $685.
100000 and the United States Steel
stocks about $4,000 600"
Well. that is bad. and 1t may be tina,
some Richmond and Virginia people
nave been caught, but in the meantime
nobody has heard of any shrinkage In
the value of Richmond real estate and
virginia farm lands. Only yesterday
statistics were published showing that
all the manufacturing plants and
other Industries in Richmond are
hourishing and making money. The
moral can be seen without glasses:
Richmond realty, Virginia realty, and
Richmond and Virginia Industrial de-
Veiopment are better things to invest
i'll than watered and juggied railway
stocks and trust controlled industries
away off yonder, heaven knows where.

JUDGE RICHARDSON
 EXPLAINS HIS VOTE

washington. August 17.-tSpecial).-ln his speech this afternoon on the fioor of the House on the adoption of the con- ference report of the publicity bill, Judge Richardson said among Tother things: "I do not vote against this con ference report on account of the pub licitv it provides for, because my own state of Alabama makes ample provis- ion for the publicity of all expenses of a candidate in a primary election, but vote against it because it is calculated to produce strife. voted against it because it authorizes the fed eral government to take control in matters that appertain to the police pow CTS of the state.
 s"Again, I vote against it because the constitution of the United States under no condition authorizes the federal gov e,nment to interfere in the states man agement of it's primary elections. .In my opinion this Is vicious bill and will be used to investigate by com states I am amazed that democrats would for moment support bill of this character"
 Representative Dent and Blackmon of Alabama voted against the adoption of the conference report and gave practi- cally the same reasons as advanced by .Judge Richardson. They agree with their older colleague that the bill is dangerous and imperils the political independence of the states. They do not oppose the pub licity features.

 "Ordinarily it Is not the function of railroad executive to take cognizance of stock market conditions, and I am es- pecia1ly averse to it, but during the last 10 days Union Pacific has been singled out as the object of such an extraordinary number of baseless ru- mors, so consistently reiterated, that 1t seems to me due our stockholders, whom such stories are designed to dis turb, that I should state that there aren >dissensions whatever in our board of directors; that the manage ment from top to bottom is perfectly harmonious; that a change in the div idend rate has not been discussed or in any way considered, and aside from some encouragement of and additions to our organization as I some time ago recommended. and which in due time will be made no action has been taken or is contemplated out of the ordinary

THINK IT IS
KAOO VS. KING

Antoine Kaoo, Soldier King Nigel
Jackson, Tsukamoto, Charlie and Hau
are getting themselves in readiness
for the marathon to be run on the 22d
King is doing general exercises; yes
terday he engaged in handball prac-
tise, while KaoO is steadily improving
in his work. The largest amount Of
interest in the race is conferred on
King and KaoO, but there are many
who are looking to one or other of
the other four runners to bring off a
surprise and capture first place. The
Japanese is more or less of a dark
horse at the moment 1t is well known
that he can run some; his record in
Japan being taken to vouch for that
and he is doing steady stunts out Of
town Jackson, Charlie and Hau are
not given much chance of winning by
those who are conversant with the
capabilities of the three mentioned,
but their presence in the race adds in
terest to it.
The new track at the Athletic Park
should be ready for training within a
week and thence EDWARDS King will
run there daily. On Saturday next he
and Jackson propose to run fifteen
miles at Kapiolani Park, if the track
is in sufficiently good condition, fail
ing which they will run on the Boys
Field. King will also run at the Ath-
letic Park on the 18th inst, when the
cycle events are pulled off there

SOLDIERS BEAT PALAMA.

The only sporting item yesterday
evening was a basketball game be-
tween a team from Fort Shafter and
the Palama Settlement team, which re-
suited in victory for the soldiers by
% points to 10. The game was an in
teresting one from start to finish, but
the struggle in the first half when
neither side could gain a decided adj
vantage, was most exciting. For some
time the Palama boys did more than
hold their opponents, at one stage in
the first half actually leading by n
couple of baskets, but thence to the
end, the soldiers, playing the faster
game, scored point after point, and
won out with margin Of
nine points.
The game attracted considerable at.
tention from the spectators and drew
a fairly large crowd

lists. and before II il announced. the
man should notify his nearest rola-
tivos. II they live In the same town
with him he should tell them by word
OF mouth, making a call specially for
such purpose. II they are In another
city he should write to them at once
to let them know the news.
II either his father or mother is
living he should go to them. rather
than write, that they may know his
plans. Another reason for an imme-
diate visit from him is that they
should be able to receive their sons
future wife in the way that will be
happiest Tor them all, and this they
can better accomplish if they make
plans with the son.
Society frequently takes its cue as
to conduct to the girl from the par
ents of the man who has become en-
gagged This is true if the man hap
pens to have a better social position
than that of the girl, or is more elig-
ible than she. If his family appears
to welcome her, the path of her en-
gagement will be pleasanter, for 9th
ers will follow the example set by
his parents.
When the mans nearest relatives
live in another city, and only cou-
sins in the place where his fiancee
resides, he should ask them to go
see her, if they are not already ac-
quainted with her, His parents must
write her Immediately, and if they do
precisely what is required of them by
etiquette they will invite the girl to
visit them, though the stay need not
necessarily be long one. If she
is invited, and accepts, as she should
it is evidence of her fiance's family
sanction of the engagement, and ma
ny small difficulties that might be
made by others will never appear.
Announcing his engagement to his
family and relatives should be done
by the man before the world is taken
into his confidence. If this proceed
ure is followed the girls is spared any
embarrassment when she is asked by
family. If she can answer yes"
without hesitation, or need of expla-
nation, she will find herself more
firmly established socially than if she
were obliged to say mo-" or to quail
ify her answer.
1t is expected that some member of
a mans family will give a tea for his
fiancee to introduce her to the fam
ily's friends. If, for any reason, this
function is delayed during the en-
gagement, it should be done as soon
after the marriage as convenient.

SPORT NOTES

The Oahu tennis final is still unde-
cided, and apparently is likely to re-
main so for yet awhile. In addition
to the delay caused to this tournament
by the weather, it has also been con-
sidered advisable to postpone the
Wall cup for Beretania members and
the e. o. Hall cup for all corners. The
Wall cup contest viii probably be COM
menced on March LIST and the Hall
cup on the 18th proXimo. Both these
tournaments are being held up simply
on account of weather conditions
