BAsEBALLERs IN TRoUBLE.-About 8
o'clock last night Borchers, pitcher for the
Alta Baseball Club, appeared at the station
house and asked for a warrant for the
arrest of Hilbert, right-felder of the same

gave indications that it soon would be, and
his face had bruised appearance gener-
ally. He stated that there had been
meeting of the club, and the members
were all present in the Lodge
saloon. He was sitting in q chair,
which was tilted back, when Hilbert
stepped up and unexpectedly hit him in
the face, causing him to fall to the floor,
and after he was down kicked him several
times in the face Borchers accounted for
the assault by saying that recently his
brother had difficulty with Hilbert, and
he supposed the latter felt hard toward him
in consequence. The Clerk of the Court
not being present to issue a warrant.
Borchers went home, saying that he would
swear to a complaint this morning. There
are always two sides to story. and this
matter may put On a different aspect in

Two 1885 Gold Medals.

Messers. Mason & Hamlin again have
the distinguished honor of having been
awarded the highest gold medal over all
exhibitors, American and European,
both at Liverpool and Edinburgh, the
two mos: important exhibitions of the
year 1886. Since the first great Paris
exhibition of 1867, the Mason Il IIamlin
Organs have invariably received the
highest hOnors ut all great worlds exhi-
billions. The new mode of piano con-
struction, invented and introduced by
Mason & lIamlin in 1889, is no longer
an experiment but an assured success,
tested and proved, many of the best
judges having pronounced it the greatest
improvement in pianos of the century"
BY it musical tones ofremarkable bright
ness and purity are obtained, and tuning
it required less than one-quarter as often
us in the old system. An illustrated cat
alogue, fully explaining the improve
ments, will be sent free to any address.

A visitor TO llilo should never fail to
ascend to the wonderful crater of Kill
anea which is always in state of dis
turbance, and is one of the great fire
mountains of the world. TO even take
one look into its terrible smoking pit is
well worth the hard ride of thirty-one
miles over the solid lava, though the
monotony ofthis ride is relieved by a
siX-mile ride through tropical forest,
with its beautiful growth of trees and
ferns, from the tiny maiden hair fern to
the large and imposing tree fern, fifteen
to twenty feet high, and all growing in
such dense mass that it would seem
as if impossible for even cat to get
through. The fire abyss, 1000 feet high,
on the left flank of Mauna Loa, is about
five miles in diameter and about 800 feel
in depth to the igneous lake within. All
around the margin great jets of steam
and blowing cones areseen, and the pit
itself is constantly rent and shaken by
earthquakes. Terrible eruptions occur
at intervals, but still it is always burning.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness
is in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The
brain and stomach sympathize. One of
the prominent symptoms of weak state
of the gastric organs is disturbance of
the great nerve entrepot, the brain. In
yigorate the stomach, and you restore
equilibrium to the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is far pre-
ferable to mineral sedatives and power
full narcotics, which, though they may
for time exert a soporific influence up
on the brain, soon cease to act, and in
variably injure the tone of the stomach.
The Bitters, on the contrary, restore ac-
tivity to the operations of that all impor-
tant organ, and their beneiicent influence
is reflected in sound sleep and tranquil
state ofthe nervous system. A whole
some impetus is likewise given to the ac-
ton of the liver and bowels by its use.

Read Before Breakfast Every Morning

1t is a fact as I've been told,
That people in the days of old
Got rich in silver and in gold,
No matter what they bought or sold,
By minding their own business.
They did not try to wound ones fame,
Or SANDER anybody's name;
They cared not when you went or came;
They pleased themselves, you did the
same,
If ii was your own business.
And ifa man did what was right
In his own mind and in the sight
OF God and law by day and night,
He went ahead and fought the fight,
Determined on bis business
But in degenerate modern days
There's quite change in peoples ways,
And what person does or says
Must be held up into the gaze,
of every busybody.
And if you do not tell them, too,
Where you are going, and going 10 do,
They get into such an awful stew
They'll even watch and follow you,
These very busybodies.
And then they surely think they know
Just when you come and when you 60,
And they will whisper so and so
To every friend and every foe,
These very busybodies.
But if we take the pains to see
Who these same busybodios be,
We find there's not a he or she,
Who has decent history
Among these busybodies.
But let us no more notice take
Ofevil tongues, but, for their sake,
Wen hope and pray they soon may
wake,
From wickedness, and money make,
By minding their own business.

The graghic story of the origin, rise,
and growth, and the decline and fall of
this famous military and religious order
has hardly its parallel in all history. OF
modern historians, the author of this
sketch, James Anthony Froude is, prob
ably better than any other, qualified to
tell it in manner worthy of the theme.
This celebrated order was established
in ILL, for the purpose of keeping open
for pilgrims, the road between the sea-
port Of Acre and Jerusalem. 1t consisted
originally of nine French knights of
noble birth, who assumed the appella-
ton of 'The Poor Brothers in Christ"
they took upon themselves VOWS of pow
erty and of chastity. and of unquestion-
ing obedience to the Patriarch of Jeru-
salem and to the Knight whom they
should choose rs their Grand Master.
The Order soon grew into the most i'm
portant one in Christendom having inn
mense possessions in nearly every king
dom in Europe, even after their final ex-
pulsion from Palestine by the Saracens
in 1889. The story of the jealousy which
sprung up against the Order among the
European sovereigns-the Pope included
is told in sufficient detail. Perhaps
the most interesting chapters are those
which tell of the arrest and trial of the
Frence Templars in 1907; their condem-
nation, and the burning at the stake, in
1914, of Jacques de Morlay, their last
Grand Master.
The historical sketch above referred
to has recently been published in series
ofarticles in Tile Library Magazine, and
is now issued in very neat cloth-bound
volume at the price of % cents, both
that and The Library Magazine being pub
lished by John b. Alden of New York
which accounts for the low brice; is
sued by any other house the cost would
probably be $1.0O or more.
