No less than dozen highbinders have

Knowing all this. Donellan did not lose
sny time in heading his squad for the seat

Stenson. in the company of lot Of young

IN THE HANDBLLL COURTS.
A Triple Handicap Arranged at Phil
Rydn'S.

A Triple Handicap Arranged at Phil
Ryan's.
Lovers OF sport are taking advantage of
the continued fair weather and as a result
IL was lively day in handball circles yes
terday.
An unusually large crowd of devotees to
the sport were present a. Phil Ryan's court
during the afternoon, where some good
bouts were contested.
The courts were perfectly dry. for the
first time in several weeks. and the result
was that the tossing was rather above the
average and the finishes closer and more
exciting than usual.
The benches on the grand stand were to-
tally inadequate to accommodate the large
crowd of spectators. who were liberal with
their applause when the players scored
good points.
The event Of the day was the triple be-
tween John Jones, the champion of Aus
tralia. and Lawless and Lavelle.
Among the preliminary games was we'll
contested single between Toy and Nelson,
which the former won in two straight, after
good exhibition. with the score: 15-12.
15-9.
In the doubles Mcdonald and Magnan
defeated McCloud and Graham after
well-contested bout with score 15-13.
11-15. 15-12.
COnIan and O'Brieu next played an ex-
citing rub with Brady and Oglestnne, the
former capturing tile game with the score
of 1913. Ills, 15-9.
An exciting bout for small purse was
played between Wren and Hyde. and
Rogers and Gelhart, better known as the
French team" in handball circles.
The contest ended in tie after close
finish, the conditions being that the winners
were TO score the best two rubs out OF
three. The score Qhe latter winning the
first rub and the local team the second was
10-15, 15-9. 12-15; second rub. 1913,
11-15. 15-9
The triple handicap between John Jones,
the champion of Australia. and Lawless and
Lavelle was next played. The games were
OF twenty-one aces each, and the conditions
required tie winners to capture tue best
three out of five games.
The latter team won the first game and
showed marked improvement in their
tossing. but the Kangaroo pulled himself
together In the next game and succeeded IN
winning the next three bouts. The score at
the finish was 1S-21, 21-10, Ills, 21-1S.
At the conclusion OF the game Wren and
Rogers, the French team. challenged Jones
to play a triple handicap for S100 SIDE
Phil Ryan. the KangaToo's hacker. at once
accepted the challenge, and each side de-
posted S25 forfeit, the balance to be depos-
tied next Tuesday.
The game will be played next Sunday, the
weather permitting, when a large crowd is
expected to be present.
The success with which Ryan has met
since he has assumed management of the
court has led him to consider the advisable
lily OF making number of improvements.
He intends TO build glass roof over the
court. If practicable. which will permit the
lovers OF the sport to play rain or shine dur
ing the winter months.
Another new feature inaugurated yester-
day was duo of Scottish pipers. who en-

GAELIC FOOTBALL.
natch Game Between Teams of the
EmmetS,

1t Is unfortunate for the popular game OF
Gaelic football that the Parnells do not
show that enthusiasm and genuine love of
sport which characterize their rivals, the En-
NETS. Quite a crowd gathered On the Golden
Gate grounds yesterday afternoon, and a
large number fondly hoped that the Parnells
would turn up. although previously an
nounced to the contrary. But they were
doomed to disappointment.
Many of those present do not hesitate to
say that the Parnells are afraid OF the EN-
NETS. and have horror Of being beaten. 1t
10 hard to believe that such can be the real
reason, as hitherto they have played mag
nifcent and plucky game, but whatever it
Is they should in the interests of this grand
sport fulfill their engagements. be the con-
sequences what they may.
The popularity OF the game Is now as
sured, and the Australians have become so
entbused with its superiority over other
football games that they will soon play q
match with the Emmets. 1t won't do there
lore, for Irisnmen to throw cold water
upon the game. aud the Parnells should
snow their manliness by play ing the Emo
next Sunday. otherwise the stigma 0f being
afraid to meet them will rest upon their
shoulders.
So rs not to disappoint the people, Cap
tain Palmer and the veteran, j. G. Nea,on
Of the Emmets, played q stratch match be-
tween teams chosen from the first and
second teams.
Captain Palmer's team consisted of c.

Malone. Michael Dryer, Michael Lyons
and John Purcell.
r. c. OConnor oficiated as referee for
the first half aud r. p. Julien for the second
half.
The game was we'll contested, both sides
being about evenly matched. Nealon's
team had, IL anything. the advantage DUR
Ing the first half and kept the ball moving
in the vicinity of Palmer's goal. John Pur-
cell succeeded In scoring two points for
Nealon almost before the other team had
been able to gather themselves we'll to-
Rether. Nealon's boys showed some grand
play in their PUSHES, which were well fol-
lowed up. resulting in Ryan scoring another
point. After the kickoff Palmer's team
rushed the bali down the field without
break, and after q short, sharp scrimmage
In front Of Nealon's goal Palmer made a
Roal-kick amid cheers from the spectators.
In the second half Palmer's boys were not
to be denied. and although the Nealonites
calamity disputed every inch of ground the
ball was kept lodging around Nealon's
goal till Mclnerney, by q well-directed kick,
sent 1t through the goal. Nealou rallied his
men, aud twice they nearly succeeded in
scoring but the match was against item

THE NATIONS SINS.
Rev. DIR. Hamma's Fifth Special
Sermon to the Young


The fifth of a course OF Sunday evening
sermons to the young. based on the parable
OF the prodigai son, was delivered last night
in the First English Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Geary street, by the pastor, Rev.
DIR. HANNA.
The subject Of the discourse was "The
Elder Brothers Inheritance" and the
preacher selected his text from Luke XIV 81:
'Son, thou art ever with me, and all / have
is thine"
After dwelling upon what constituted the
elder brothers inheritance and his unrea-
sonable dissatisfaction, the preacher said:
HOW strikingly the want OF appreciation
OF his elder brother represents us. How
often 90 the blessings and gifts that God
has given us make US poor In charity? How
often do we prostitute the endowments of
mind and heart TO selfish ends, to carpality
sensuality and greed of gain? We prostitute
the natural affections of our hearts to
lgnooie and base things Of perishable
nature.
"Ihe elder brother in the parable, IN the
broadest sense, Is intended to represent the
Jews, who were Gods chosen people, but
failed to appreciate his goodness. Que can
not read the history Of the Jews without
being struck with its similarity to our own
history. IL any nation Is favored of God
more than another Ii is certainly the Ameri-
can nation. and when / consider how we
nave USED these great blessings and privi-
leges. 1 cannot but tremble when / think
that The end OF the Jews will be the end of
this people.
I'VE have sabbath breaking, sordidness.
drunkenness and political rottenness. and
unless we purify all these things we will be
cast down to hell and lose our scepter,
throne and crown of righteousness. which
will be transferred to q nation that will
produce the fruits Of righteousness and show
it Is worthy to possess these blessings and
privileges"
He implored them. a. individuals, to tear
the veil from their eyes that they might see
the deceitfulness Of the heart ant the reali-
ties OF things. How greatly God had blessed
them and bound them round aud round with
obligations so as to serve and honor him and
finally have their habitations with him for
cvermore. How every blessing carried with
1t an obligation. and that 10 the fulfllment
OF that obligation they got the blessing, but
that In Its violation they got o curse,

hawker in downtown street was vend.
Ing the other day set of ornaments which
had evidently been prepared by woman.
The ground for thinking this Is the set itself
and Its price. 1t consists of necklace and
two bracelets. The price for the whole out
fit is - cents. The ornaments are made of
small shells strung together on threads
Buy one OF these and examine the amount
of work which its construction involved and
see II you think q man could have made it.
The shells are small and the calcareous out
side has been removed SO that the shell
SCENTS only an iridescent surface. 1t must
have taken Some time and patience to do
away with this hard outer veneer of the
shell.
In the bracelet there are four strands Of
these shells, each strand containing thirty
shells. This makes 100 shells for the brace
let. In order to string them each one of
these shells is perforated with four holes.
Apparently these holes were made by hand
The thin. brittle shells could hardly have
been pierced by machinery. Many must
have been broken in getting the requisite
number for this piece of jewelry. In the
bracelet there are three strands, with six
teen shells each. which makes ninety-six
shells for the pair. The white thread which
joins these shells together goes through
small. transparent glass beads. Here are
the statistics for the whole parure: Number
OF shells employed ZIG. number of glass
beads 2602, number of holes which had TO
be made in the shells S64.
There is small tin clasp for the necklace
and for the bracelets.
Think Of cleaning tho shells, perforatiug
them, stringing them and the beads to-
getber. putting on the clasps. and reflect
that you can buy the whole set for twenty
cents!
What = reflection to think of the work
that Is given to produce this two dimes
worth of ornaments! II it were Prime
Minister who made them the value of the
time would make these ornaments worth
thousands. But 1t was probably some poor
woman who took all that patient toll and
gave all that time to earn twenty cents.
