THE CONTEST.
The One Thousand Mark Re ched
Yesterday.
Lishman Retains First Place
Angus a Near Neiehbor, and
Mahuka a Good Third.

Ask the average Honolulu resi-
dent what is, in his opinion, the
most Important question before the
country at the present time, the
answer, of course, will be the ADvER~
TIsER contest to determine the best
all-round ball player in the Ha-
waiian League,
The ballot-fever has become cpl
demic, and has even invaded the
Legislative hall, where, on every
Saturday morning, several dig
allied members can be seen with
bears in hand rushing from desk

~ss~4he storekeepers ON Fort street
complain that when they reach
their business places on Saturday
morning somebody has anticipated
their wishes to vote, and their
paper is minus the ballot, All this
goes to show that the friends of the
players consider that the ADyER-
TIsER prizes and the distinction of
being the best ball player are two
things well worth working for.
The twelfth count took place
yesterday afternoon before a crowd
of base ball enthusiasts, and re-
suited in keeping Lishman in first
place with 9 grand total to date of
1860 ballots.
George Angus polled 205 votes
this week, which amount was the
largest number of ballots deposited
during the week for any one man
his total reaches 1915, and makes
him second in the count.

A nemarkable Stone rhrower.

1t is supposed that we have no men
nowadays who could compete on even
terms with the old archers. A man
named Uri Bailey recently died in Penn
sylvania who was worthy of place with
the old time soldiers. His skill in throw
ING stones was said to be marvellous. He
was mentally deficient, but giant phys
1callv. His aim with stones at any mark
or game was as unerring as that of the
most skillful handler of the rife. He
annually bagged scores of small game
pheasants, rabbits, quails and squirrels,
which he killed with stones.
He could kill bird on the wing or a
rabbit at full speed almost as easily as
he could kill it at rest He had large
leather pouch attached to one side of his
coat. in which he on all occasions car
ried a good supply of carefully selected
stones. An exhibition of his skill, which
was always favorite with him, was to
set up a scythe blade, edge toward him,
and at the distance Of 100 feet cut
apples in halves by throwing them
against the edge of the blade.
He could almost exactly halve two
out of every three apples he threw.
Robin Hoods great feat of skill was to
set up a peeled sapling at a considerable
distance and split it with an arrow. We
do not see that this is more difficult than
splitting the apple on the scythe blade,

why 1t Was Named n1achias.

A good many people doubtless have
wondered why Secretary Tracy named
the gunboat launched at Bath, Me-, the
Machias. Machias people know why,
and are very proud of the exploit OF
their ancestors, who within few weeks
of the battle of Concord fought smart
naval engagement and captured British
schooner which was blockading their
port The captain of the British schooner
commanded the men of Machias to cut
down the liberty pole which they had
set up on their common. The men O..
Macllias refused, and there was some
skirmishing of an inconclusive nature.
Finally some bold spirits in the town
fitted out sloop and attacked the
schooner, which was named the Marga-
retta. The engagement was brisk, and
the Americans succeeded in boarding
the schooner, drove her crew below and
pulled down the British colors. Machias
people claim that the Margaretta was
the first British vessel captured in the
Revolution, and their exploit is some
times called ''the Lexington of the Seas. =
Machias is an historical place, and II
the gunboat is handled with the old
Machias spirit she will give good ac-
count of herself. Boston Transcript

DEADLY DUALIN.

Twenty Hungarians Blown to Pieces by
New Explosive.
WMKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 28.-A ter
rife explosion of dynamite occurred at
Honey Brook today. Twenty Hungar-
ian miners, employed in coal stripping,
were sitting around a stove in shanty
eating their lunches, when several
sticks of dynamite near the stove ex-
ploded, blowing the shanty to pieces
and scattering the inmates in all direc-
tions.
Two of the men were instantly
killed, their bodies beiog shockingly
mutilated. OF the others not one es-
capped injury. Men were lying around
in every direction, some with arms and
legs broken and blood pouring from
gaping wounds. 1t is believed a num-
ber of the wounded will die.
The explosive was not ordinary dyna
mite, but dualin, one OF the highest ex-
plosives made. The explosion was
caused by the men thoroughly heating
it, then exposing it to cold, causing it to
contract.
DIR. Keller tonight telegraphs that be-
sides fractures of skull and bones of the
face. the body of each patient contained
scores of wounds, made as if by bullets,
their legs, arms and chests especially
being pierced with dualin from two to
four inches deep. The probing of the
wounds did not reveal in single in
stance any foreign body at the bottom
of the wound.

A Curious Clock.

A novel clock is now being exhibited
by the Watchmakers' union in London.
It is of wood, beautifully carved and
stands six feet in height. The case is a
perfect fort in miniature, and instead of
bell and striking hammer the hours
are announced by bugler, who emerges
from door at one side of the fort and
blows the call to assemble and march.
Almost instantly doors open on ali
sides. A regiment of automatic sol
diers, six abreast, march out, wheel to
the left, stop few seconds to "mark
time," and then march through another
part of the fortress to the barracks.
These marches and countermarches oc-
cur each hour If they come out to an
nounce the hour of 1 o'clock, one soldier
fires his tiny gun. At 2 o'clock two sol
diers fire their pieces, increasing with
the hour until the twelve leaders fire
their guns, the rear ranks bowling their
heads and pointing with their bayonets
toward the dial of the Chicago

THE BALL GAME.
San Jose Wins Again BY Score of

TO q.
The third of the series of baseball
games between Los Angeles and San
Jose took place yesterday afternoon be-
fore fair audience, made up largely of
cranks. 1t would have been another
great game but for couple of costly
errors made by the Los Angeles team at
critical periods, which virtually made a
present of the game to San Jose. The
visitors had all the luck on their side, as
usual. The score was nothing to moth
ing until the fifth, when San Jose
made two by series of errors by the
Los Angeles team. San Jose got two
more in the seventh, thanks to wild
pitch by O'Neill and a still wilder throw
over the third baseman's head, when
there was no necessity in the world for
throwing the ball. O'Neill gave several
bases on balls. He pitched fair game,
nevertheless, but his Indifference in the
box gave everyone chill. Mr.. O'Neill
needs an injection of ginger or anything
that would put little more life in him.
There was one good thing O'Neill did,
however. He made O good sacrifice,
and as result Fogarty scored for Los
Angeles in the eighth. 1t was 4.to ! at

Adrift on the Ocean.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Two scows OF
the street cleaning department, found
sixty miles at sea last night, are now
safely anchored in the harbor. The
men on the scows which were rescued
were out over thirty-six hours. The
scows became covered with ice, the
weather being unusually cold. In addi-
ton to this and to their fright, the men
had to contend with the pangs of hun
ger, there being but little food aboard,
They say that three steamers passed
but took no notice of them. They never

A curious result of the decline and
fall of General Boulanger has been
brought to light in the public pawn OIL

have been inundated of late with busts
and medallions Of the defunct general.
The pledges in marble, plaster of paris
