A Tennis Party in Lahaina.

On Saturday, the 18th inst, the resi-
dents of Hawaii's former capital were
for the first time initiated into the
mysteries of lawn tennis. s,o,yba

esses of the occasion, received their
guests at O'clock p. m. Ha unoe
The grassy court was in constants use
until darkness made the sport impos-
sible. AS all but two or three players
were noviees, it may be confessed
without a blush that several of the
games were won by faults, and that
brilliant plays were most interesting
when they occurred. 1905 a u7ln

thirty and forty present. H.

paw on Old Steele's head and almost
scalped him, pulling the scalp clean
down over Steene's left ear. This made
the old man very mad. and, getting his
arm loose, he drew his six-shooter and
filled the beast full of lead. He was
soon dead, and old Steene started for
home to repair damages. His wounds
looked bad, but they were soon
sewed up and were not serious. In
four days he was out and walking
about again. The boys got the hide off
the lion, and Barney says he is going to
have it tanned and made up into all
overcoat. Steene says if his foot hadn't
slipped he would have tanned the lion
all right. He was "a young fellow and
hadn't much sense, anyhow"
Barney says the lion wasn't read up
on Steene's theory. He advises the old
man to go to India and try his theory on
the tigers, or to Africa and practice on
the lions there, but Steene says he will
stop in the Rocky mountains for awhile
and make his theory work yet on the
wild animals of this country.

ga neat trick was played upon me by

an East side saloonkeeper. 1.-The old
soak brought in a black bottle and
asked for so cents worth of whisky. |
drew it and hung on TO the bottle while
he went through his pockets after the
silver. Presently he put on look of
dismay, and said he had lost the money.
All right says /, and turned out the
whisky and put the bottle on the bar.
He took it and went away, saying he'd
be back after the inebriater presently.
He didn't come, however, but five min
utes later found him sitting on horse
block around the corner poking some
thing in the bottle with a stick, and
after every poke turn out thimbleful
of whisky into a cup. l seized the
bottle and made an investigation. What
do you think l found? Why, the old
rascal had forced sponge as big as my
clenched fist into it, and this had soaked
up glassful of my whisky when filled

Keep an eye on Radbourn this year.
Rad will pitch his arm out to retain his
prestige as the BoSton'S star pitcher.
He never pitched tor any club in which
he was not the leading pitcher, and
Clarkson will make him pitch this sea-
son as he never pitched before. In this
respect alone it was a good move on
SOden's part to buy Clarkson's release.

The Reserves of st. Paul, the cham

reorganized for the season of 1888 with
the following players: Kennedy,
catcher; Murnane, pitcher: Beetossi,
short; MeHugh, first base; Prudhomme,
second: Matt0ckS, third; GratnWOll,
right field; Derrick, left; Painter, mid
die. The club will be under the man.
agement of John Derrick.
Buck Ewing thinks that Chicago, now
she has let ClarksOn go, had better
throw up the sponge. He says: 'sWhat
did they do last season when they had
GARRISON? They are no better fixed this
season than they were last. Arson says
that his team can win the championship
without this big pitcher. Maybe he
can, but the day is yet to come when a
manager can win the championship
without the players to back him, no
matter how great a manager he is"
Getzien, while at the bat in the third
DetrOit-St. Louis game, said to King
"Say, you St. Louis liverwurst, here's

King grew angry and wanted to fight,
and advanced up to Getzien. The latter
said: ''To finish," enjoying the scene
to the utmost. King hardly knew
whether the pretzel was in earnest or
guying, and even Latham stopped chat
tering, while the spectators became in
terested. Finally King walked slowly
to the box and resumed pitching.

An Insult to the Public.

Springfield Republican.
more votes were cast in one con-
gressional district Of Nebraska than
we're cast in the state of Alabama at the
same election" said ex-senator Harri-
son, of Indiana, in a recent speech, and
he called upon the North to raise an Sin
dignant protest" against ''this suppress
sion of The Republican VOTE" Here is
an assumption which is an insult to the
reading public. Every negro is not a
Republican in Alabama by any means i;
and in the election of 1886, which
is the one Senator Harrison
refers to, thousands of Democrats
failed to vote. Did any one sup
press these Democratic votes? Not at
ALL the Republicans did not nominate
candidates for congress, so thousands
of Alabamians remained on their
plantations and picked cotton. The
best colored men of Mobile crowded
to the polls the other day in a municipal
election and voted the straight
Democratic ticket. Is that the kind of
full vote Senator Harrison wants? The
trouble with the Indiana statesman is
that he takes little sectional prejudice,
little statistical ignorance and little
party spirit, shakes them in bottle, land
calls it fine article of patriotism.

in one or two large books. so results
can be discovered in glance; indeed,
such is the style in general use to-day,
and by which the multifarious accounts
of some of the largest firms, wholesale

In conjunction with the business,
law is, of course, frequently involved.

ruptcy comes and assignments are
made, nor does he work for fun. His

he wakes fat and owns real estate, and

Miss Fellows Marriage.

Washington Post.

was married the 10th of March to
Samuel Campbell. She denies most
emphatically, however, that he is an
Indian, but admits that there is Indian
blood in his veins. She seemed per-
fectly cOnteDted and happy, except for a
a little modification over the false
reports that have been circulated about
her marriage, and asks her
parents to forgive her for
marrying away from home and
without their knowledge. Her hus-
band, she states, owns a farm in Ne
braska, where they will probably go
after she finishes her school term in
July. Describing him, she says he is
tall, we'll made and strong, with dark
hair aud fair complexion. He is not as
well educated as she is, and has not
travelled as much. He has been, however,
to Washington, Philadelphia and Chi
cago. He does not drink, chew or
swear, but takes an occasional smoke.
They were married by Catholic mis-
sionary and had three days honey
moon. The remainder of the letter
speaks of the receipt of silk dress and
bonnet from home, which she wore at
her wedding, and also of preparations
for domestic life.

RETURNED THE 'KERCHIEF
his trifle was found as you left it,

This trifie was found as you left it,
I Quite carelessly flung on a chair.
Where it pleasantly served to remind me
Of the fact that you'd lately been there.
1t isn't so much of 'kerchief
In spite of its 'broideries ana frills,
And barely retains it's faint perfume
In this den of squills, syrups and pills.
But a memory IS always a shadow
That falls thro' the sunshine of Joy,
Or a CLEAN of faint light in the darkness
That comes to desolate boy.
And 'kerchief is always something
One tenderly, daintily holds,
For the heart that perspires with affection
May be chilled by this emblem OF colds.
No matter how tnneful the lovers,
No matter how soft the moonlight is,
The serenade twangs of the zithers
Suggest still the pangs OF bronchitis.
Zen so thro' the 'brolderies and perfume,
And memories most pleasing of you,
Faint echoes of sneezes still struggle
I "A 'kerchief suggests kerchew.
So I send back the trifle of cambria,
And give up my memo les tender;
Scratch match, light pipe, take a ''toddy,
With my bachelor feet on the fender.

mercantile world managed to rub along
in free and easy style, entailing an
enormous lot of confusion in keeping
books, and, by the way, loose cash from
straying into the hands of nefarious
employees, and such thing as a man
devoting his time to the keeping OF
books exclusively, as an employment,
was unknown. But the times have

IT'S Mean and Narrow.

There is not much choice between the
proscriptive spirit of the Know NOthings
and the clanishness manifested Occa-
ionally by American citizens of foreign
birth. 1t is mean and narrow to desire
to exclude men from the advantages OF
American citizenship for no other rea
son than the accident of birth in an
other country. 1t is not whit less
reprehensible for men who have emil
grated to the United States and been

they are not natives.

BEFORE AND AFTER.
A Tale of Coniugal Infelicities.


A few days ago, as a Ridge road car was
coming up Lake avenue, the driver stopped
on being signalied by young man on a
crossing not far from Driving Park avenue
says the Rochester Democrat The young
man was accompanied by a rather pretty
young woman, who was dressed in a light,
airy summer attire, and carried a fancy
colored sun parasol. The young man jumped
aboard the car first, and rushed inside, Sc
curing the only seat vacant, leaving the
young woman to follow as best she could
Of course every one expected that he would
give up his seat to his lady, but he did not
do so, and she, after standing awhile, hold
ing on to a strap, concluded to have seat
anyway, and, without word of warning.
pumped down on the lap of her escort say
ing as she did SO: I'm as tired as you are,
darling and you will have to hold me until
L get a seat"
He gave grunt of the hog kind and told
her in plain English that ''she could stand
or sit on the floor for all he cared, but he
would not hold her." At this several male
occupants of the car offered their seats to
the young woman, but she declined their
offer and said: HE is as able to hold me
now as he was before we were married,
and | will sit here where / ann The
passengers were up t. this time silently
smothering their laughter, but the last was
too much for them, and as one remarked:
The car will be thrown off the track if we
don't stop laughing so hard" Realizing
the feet that he was making a target Of
himself, the young man rose hastily. nearly
throwing his darling wife on the floor, and
made a rush for the door, saying as he did
so: "You take my seat; I'll walk home"
and left the car. The wife was not dis
mayed in the least, but sat there quietly en-
joying the fun as well as did the rest of the
passengers.
