The match between Hawaii and the
Stars clubs on Saturday afternoon was
rather one-sided IN favor of the Stars,
and very slow withal on the whole. A
large audience saw the sport. Parker,
pitcher for the Hawaii, seems to have
lost his cunning in that position, and the
club will do we'll to transfer him to one
of the bases and get Meek back to the
pitching plate. There was not the best
of playing to mention even on the part
of the victors, their recorded errors being
only one less than the numerous total
against the vanquished. With regard
to the latter, favorable mention is due
Kaia on second, Meek on third, and
Perry at short stop. There were indeed
a few bits of brilliant play on both sides,
appearing in strong relief from the dull
setting OF the whole match. Following
is the score:

Mr.. KAMAUOHA, the member from
South Kona, was elected on the Reform
platform. His first proposed reform
was the abolition of the dog tax which
he made the special subject Of a bill
which has been born, has flourished and
died all within the brief space OF a week
1t was killed Thursday. The same
honorable gentleman gave notice on the
same day of an amendment to Article
81 of the Constitution which will no
doubt be dealt with in an equally sum
mary manner. The reform which Mr.
Kamauoha proposes this time is the
deprivation of the Cabinet of all share in
the executive functions.

The Bishop disappointment

Mr.. EDITOR i have been requested
by Mr.. w. L. Bishop, to make medical
statement of his condition on Saturday
night.
Like the mass OF the audience at the
Music Hall, | left the building under the
impression that he was under the inhu-
ence of liquor, but when l saw him at 10
p. IN. l learned that he had taken dose
of cocaine, 80 grains to the ounce, before
leaving the hotel, for the purpose of
strengthening his throat; chat before
going on to the stage he was given a
tumblerful of a solution of coca to en-
able him to give the performance
Coca is a powerful an@sthetic and
nerve sedative, and taken in such
enormous quantities is not only sufficient
to totally unfit person for anything, but
is absolutely dangerous to life. lie is
to-day paralyzed in his left arm. In
justice to Mr.. Bishop | willingly make
this statement, that his condition on
Saturday evening was undoubtedly due
to the coca and cocaine that he took so
unfortunately.

the Government for the present biennial
period, including public improvements,
is So, 1O2 ,418.O3 as compared with 49,
691 ,O1S.58 expended during the last. The
difference is $5S8, 6OO.55. The real diff
ference, however, so far as the actual
prosperity of the country is concerned,
is probably considerably greater even
than this. Assuming that the amount
actually applied to public improvements
outside of the loan fund was not greater
than the present minister has included
in his estimate of regular expenditure,
the difference between the amounts de-
voted to public improvements will be
represented by the difference between
1898, 035.00 (the amount actually applied
under the loan act) and 1927, 341 IA, the
amount which the present Cabinet pro-
pose to devote. This difference is $134,-
3O6 IA If we add this to the 1888, 900 80
obtained above, we have 1922, 906.69
The assumption on which this last piece
of reasoning proceeds can only be verified
by long and laboriOus analysis of the
accounts, for which our leisure does not
at present suffice, but we believe it to be
a true one, and infer consequently that
with the same expenditures on public
improvements the Finance Minister'S
estimates if carried out would save the
country las compared with the last period,
not less than 100000.
WE have no space at present to go
into the items of proposed expenditure in
detail, and show just how the great re-
duction is effected There will be time
enough for that before the appropriation
bill becomes law No doubt there will
be occasion enough and need enough of
returning to the subject, before the
whole affair is matter OF history. We
lay thus much before the public at once,
because it is probable that people will
desire to learn as early as possible some
thing about the financial policy OF the
Government. We will only add that, so
far as We can at present judge, the re-
auctions are directed to the civil list,
naval and military expenditure, foreign
embassies, and in general, exclusively or
chiefly to the costly and frivolous inutili-
ties and absurdities upon which the
country has been wasting its substance
in it's days of riOtOus living.

The Problem of Aerial Navigation.

The military authorities in Europe
are unceasing in their efforts to find the
solution of guiding balloons, as they
would then be OF inestimable advantage
in the naval and military operations.
Some three years since experiments were
made in France that, with needed alter
ations and improvements, would solve
the problem. The balloon was cigar
shaped, sailed away some miles, aud
then was landed ON the field of its de-
parture. Future developments resulted
in failure. The attempts has now been
revived at Mendon, in France, to test
the efficiency of new novel arrange
ment. This balloon will be furnished
with new motor, 500 kilogrammes in
weight, of fifty horse power, which 1T is
anticipated, will be capable of produc-
ing q speed of 100 kilomcters upward OF
siXty miles) an hour. The balloon will
thus be ravigable in any direction, and
in any weather, except when it is actual
" Blowing u gale. In England constant
experiments are being made, and among
other sums given to stimulate the inven-
tive genius of engineers, John Sang
s,er, of London, has placed at the disposal
of the Council of the Balloon Society
s.. coo toward fund to reward the first
aerial NAVIGATOR who solves the problem
of conducting scientifically machine
through the air the same as ships are
now navigatcd through the water.-San

A Bank Clerks Life.

nicl 3 5eI 5S5I i; per IN a l
ethan to think that the life of bank
clerk is one monOtonOuS round of dreary
figures. In reality, there are as many
diversions in his occupation as in that
of any other mercantile calling, only
that the lighter and peculiar side of his
life somehow or other seldom gets into
print.
"Twice every year the National bank
clerk, if he understands his business,
has chance to make neat little sum
working for the savings banks in after
hours. Every six months the interest
has to be figured up on each account,
and extra hands are called in to do it at
night. For the sake of economy-and
may say in parenthesis that banks are
about the meanest institutions in exist
ence-a trial was made of cheap and in
experienced men, but they we're so slow
and inaccurate that the banks found it
cheaper in the end to employ clerks
from the National hanks.
''The cashier of a small savings bank
soon grows gray haired. People who
suddenly acquire small sum OF money
through some lucky speculation or other
are pretty sure to bank it on the spur of
the moment. In few days they want
to make another speculation and go to
draw the money out. When the cashier
tells them they have to give thirty days
notice there is apt to be circus. 10 do
business with q savings bank isn't as
easy as tie Irishman described to
friend, when he said You put it In to-
day, and if you want to draw 1t out to-
morrow, all you have to do is to give
them months notice. The only time
q savings bank won't kick about paying
out money is two days before the inter
est falls due. If you draw it out then
you lose all your interest, and they are
willing enough to pay you at such times
without any previous notice at ALL

FISHING AT NIGHT.
Rhode Islanders Catching Whiting
by Lantern Light.

Dancing, cleaning lights can be seen
in great abundance any evening now,
saws the Providence Journal, all along
the shore from Fields point to Gaspee
on the west, and from Pomham to Ny
att on the east, and any one walking
near will hear a confusion of sounds
from the waters edge of splashes and
plunges, broken by such cries as
s'There's one," "Look out on the right, y
s'Now scoop him." "Thats a dandy"
'sThat makes two dozen," and "Gosh, !"
the latter uttered with a tone of deep
disgust, indicative of loss. To the
uninitiated these cries are devoid OF
meaning, and would perhaps lead more
to an impression of an outbreak in an
insane asylum than anything else, hut
to those who know they mean that
whiting have come and are being taken
in large numbers. The whiting or frost
fish appears in these waters at intervals,
sometimes every other year, and then
again skipping three or four years.
In 1886 they were caught IN large
numbers all along the shore, one party
filling q wagon body in one evening, the
fish fairly fringing the edge OF the beach
as they jumped out of the water. In
1887 there was not a whiting seen In the
bay, unless, perhaps, stray one was
found way down toward Newport. This
year they have struck In early and
from present appearances Will be very
plentiful.
The whiting is handsome fish, rang
es in size as caught here from eight to
from quarter to half pound or over.
L. E., lat,. l,1n In al
are easily removed, and the expert
cleans him with great rapidlty. The
flesh is white and sweet, and the BACK
bone is the only one in the fish, and
that removed when cooked the flesh IS
very fine eating.
The methods of taking the fish vary
according to the localities, though in
each case lantern is used both to at
tract the fish and see them. Perhaps
the most artistic way of catching the fish
is with small steel spear, fastened to n
hanule four feet long. The spear has
five or six prongs, each with smaii
barb, and the shank is weighted with
lead to give force to the bow inc
fisherman wearing pair OF hlp ruooef
boots, wades along the shore some elSnI
or ten feet from the edge of the beach
for work. The whiting attracted by the
light swims to the surface near him and
by very rapid stroke, is secure and
tossed to shore to be picked up by the
second fisherman, who, with basket and
lantern carries OF the spoils. The man
with the basket secures not a few fish, for
attracted by his lantern, or driven by
the one who is wading, they swim ashore
and Jump ont on the beach.
A second method and one perhaps
equally good, is very often employed,
and that is to use II short handled net
instead of spear. In this case the
wader drives his fish toward the shore
and either scoops hum mp when he gets
in shallow water OF rushes him up on
the beach and picks him up. This
method secures the fish unhaI med, but
1t takes longer and so large catch is
not the result. Another method and one
employed by those who are not pos
sessed of net or spear. is to use on

Indian Languages.

Each group of Indian tribes had q
language of its own, varying in dialect
according as the several tribes were scat
tered over territory. In this respect
it resembled the language of Great
Britain and Germany in the time when
there was little communication between
persons living at some distance from
each other. The language in no Indian
tribe was jargon, as it has often been
represented to be. It-was rich in verbs
and grammatical forms. It was very ex-
pressive, clear and prehensive. 1t
was readily learned and easily under
stood, The language of the Algonquin
group was the prevailing one and was
understood on most parts Of the CONT
nent. AS spoken by the Ojigweys it
contained about 10000 words. 1t has
been called the coast language of the
Indians for the reason that some of the
most advanced of nearly every tribe
could speak it. In some cases boys were
sent to tribe that spoke this language
in order to learn it. 1t was like the
French tongue in Europe, the language
of diplomacy. The Sioux language was
more complex and more difficult to ac-
quire, but stronger and more copious.
One language was understood on every
portion of the continent. It impressed
the organ of vision and not that of hear
ing. 1t was not expressed by sounds.
1t WAS the language Of signs. 1t was
very expressive. By means of it ideas
could be communicated as far as the
eye could reach. One skilled in its use
could tell much in very short time.
He could call person to him who was
far beyond the sound of his voice. If
he could catch the eye of the person he
wanted, he could communicate secrets
to him, while those around him would
be in entire Ignorance of them. He
could give warning to Il friend without
attracting the notice of others. A con-
versatiOn could be carried on in the sign
language between two persons so far
apart that their voices could not be
heard. The sign language could be
used in love or war. 1t was not confined
to gestures or motions of the person.
Every part of the body touched or
pointed to had q signif ance. So did
the earth, water, sun, moon, stars and
sky. Actions, passions, emotions, love,
hate, as we'll as tangible things, were
expressed by the sign language. A
blanket, stick, hatchet, OF string of
wampum could also be employed in the
language of signs. One or more fires
were employed for conveying intelli-
gence long distances. An Indian rider
could guide his pony so that all who
saw him could understand whether he
had been successful in the chase or in
battle. No race of men lacking in in
tellect or deficient in inventions could
have originated and improved the
language of signs ana symbols as it was
employed by TIE aborigines of this
country when they were discovered by
the Europeans. The construction of
this language was as great monument
to human greatness as the formation of
an alphabet - From Elijah NJ. Haines
"The American Indian.
