DUPED AGAIN.

The Administration Again Led Into Maxi
Ing an Improper Appointment-The APP
pointee Makes His Mark Before Being
Bounced-He is Now in Jail.
New YORK, September 2.--The Saln's
Washington special says: "Facts re-
garding the appointment of a Jail bird to
office have just leaked out. Comptroll-
er Durham was an innocent sponsor for
the man, but who recommended him to
Durham is not made known. Richard
Board, of Kentucky, was appointed q
clerk in the railway mail service on July
3D., and assigned to duty on the route
between Rincon and Deming, New Mex
leo. Prominent citizens of Kentucky
wrote to the Department setting forth
that Board was under three indictments
for forgery, and had been three times ar
ting money under false pretenses;
once in Texas for robbery.
and twice for theft in Kentucky. In
some unexplained manner Major Board
got the appointment before these charges
were investigated. Two weeks after
ward Comptroller Durham, who was
misled into recommending Boards ap-
pointment, got very lively letter from

cluded with the prediction that Board
would steal something before he had
been in the service month. The pre-
diction was literally fulfilled. Before
the warning note was written, Board
had stolen money-order for $163. He
had been dismissed from the service be-
fore the theft was detected, because of
his other crimes, and was traced to St.
Louis and there arrested. He is now in
jail in Santa Fe awaiting trial.

An Excellent Path Left Open BY the Gus.
toms and Health Ofacials for the En-.
trance of Cholera Into the United States
Packed Fruits an Admirable Carrier
For the Microbes.
SAN FRANC CISCO, CAL, September o.
Considerable excitement has been caused
among, the importers of groceries of this
city by statements tending to show the
existence of scheme to introduce chol-
era-infected raisins into the United
States. It appears that one of the lead
ing houses in the trade on the Pacific
Coast has adyices from its agent
In New York stating that one OF
the largest buyers of imported raisins
has just received a dispatch from Malaga
stating that the product this year is
very large and of excellent quality, and
that the presence of cholera in Spain will
not act as an impeachment In the way OF
shipment to the United States. This is
accompanied by aletter of VIM. Smith,
health officer of the port of New York,
to tAs-srm of importers, in which he
says that fruits gathered in infected dis
tricts, but packed and shipped from nom
infected points, will not on that account
subject vessel to delay at quarantine.
This refers directly to the importation of
raislns from Malaga and Denia. Refer
ring to these statements, prominent men
In the fruit trade and experienced
packers declare that there is great danger
OF the introduction of cholera micro bes
in raisins from infected districts of
Spain; that packed fruit easily absorbs
microbes and retains them for q great
length of time. The New York health
officers were charged with gross neglect
OF duty in opening the way for the terri
BILE disease into this county.

Baseball Lea%ue.

To-day at noon the members of the Ha-
waiian Baseball League will hold a meeting,
when the question as to whether the whole
number of games announced for this sum-
mer's season will be played or not will be
considered. Pacific Club having disbanded,
the work of completing the seasons pro-
Sramme, as arranged in the commencement,
will necessarily fall upon the remaining
three clubs. 1t seems that there is one Of
the clubs that, so far, has the advantage in
the games played, and it is inclined to
demur at being called upon to play five
games, which it would have to do under
the new arrangement, instead Of three, as in
the original programme. The hope has
been freely expressed that the league, in
their meeting to-day, will be able to make
some arrangement by which the full num-
Der of games will be played, and the public
have the pleasure of their customary Satur-
day afternoon recreation on the Makiki
ground until September. It has also been
suggested that at the close of the season an
exhibition game be played between the two
clubs that have the best record in the match
games and that an admission fee be charged
to the grand stand. Such game would be
an appropriate ending for what, so far, has
been very agreeable series of games.

Nothing is more remarkable in the
United States than the growth of the cigar
business. Before the rebellion. Havana
manufactured the best and probably the
most of our cigars. After the duties were
made high the cigar making business was
transferred within our revenue iuriSdic-
ton, first to Key West and then to New
\ ork. The war itself was provocative of
the smoking habit as it multiplied ex-
element and left hundreds of thousands
of men in tents waiting for battle, and
there they smoked because they had no
other form of enjoyment So the
growth of tobacco was introduced into
our northern states. and now the north
raises the best smoking tobacco for cigars,
and the tobacco interest in some of the
western states amounts to millions per
annum. There are said to be 80, 900 per-
