BARBARA WAS MAD.
She Made Star Appearance In the
Police Court,

Miss Barbara Green made star entrance
into the Police Court this morning. Miss
. barbara Is very black, indeed, and her face
wore look of wrath that added not the
least to her beauty. She had a walk with
her that was unique; one of those walks
that consist for their effect in dropping
first one shoulder and then the other as the
steps are taken sullen, vicious sort Of
stride. like that of The typical Bowery girl
and that said palmer than words .Ah'm a
tuff gal and DON kyar who knows It,"
Barbara wore a white summer gown,
with zouave jacket and open-work vest
As she stepped into the box she raised her
dainty skirts and disclosed a pair of feet
that dragged and scraped the patent leather
as she walked. Her hair bristled for Bar
bara was angry. Barbara was the defend
ant this time, and she objected.
Sarah Goodwin, lanky colored girl, in a
gcwn of a most shocking shade of red, was
the complaining witness, and told a story
about how Miss Green had smashed her
with pair of curling irons, land not for
nothing at all whatsoever" Barbara de-

CIVILIZING AFRICA.
How Rhodes Company is Doing It
In Lo Bengula's Country.

Buluwayo has been on the spree
for weeks and weeks, and the state
of drunkenness and gambling
which exists there is shocking.
Farm rights change hands there
daily, the company's volunteers
disposing of theirs for various sums
down to $50, and whether the
amount they receive is high or low
they drink it out forthwith. Bulu-
wayo is at present, in fact, a town.
ship of canteens, and looking at
the state of affairs which has pre-
vailed there (among the whites)
since it was made q settlement it
is impossible to say that the rule
of Lo Bengula has been succeeded
by anything better. One cannot
help wishing, if not that the I'm
perial Government had never al
lowed the company to assume the
government of the country, at least
that the company would copy the
policy of the Imperial Government
in Bechuanaland. In the whole Of
British Bechuanaland and the
prOtectorate there is not a canteen,
except one each at the two princi-
pal camps of the 3. B. P. Licen-
ses are refused to all applicants
who cannot show that they pro-
vide ample accommodation for
man and beast; a place must be

breadth of the land.-Bechuana-

MONDAY,

THE Baseball League seems to
have got itself into an inextrica-
bic tangle, which is due apparently
to a want of the spirit of mutual
Cancellation. The Kamehamehas
insisted on counting game which
they won legally indeed, but which
a generous instinct should have
taught them to play over again.
The Crescents, because their OPP
ponents could not be generous, de-
cided not to be just, and so have
attempted to break up the League.
The series cannot be played out,
unless one of the two contending
clubs can find grace enough to
yield a point, and that is hardly to
be hoped for. There is, however,
no other way out of the tangle, for
to award the championship or to
refuse to award it, upon the present
unfinished series, will be equally
unsatisfactory.
