THE LAZY FIRST BASEMAN.

He Was Favored by Rain Until the Manager
| Drowned Him Out.
The retired left fielder was telling the
story. "Hank McGinnis," he said.
twas the greatest first baseman ever
seen. He could play the bag outer sight
when he was mind to, but he was the
LATEST man in ~ counties, and he
didn't play no ball when he could git
outen it. He was allays turnin up with
spiked foot or split thumb or some
thin of the kind, an ginerally made out
to lay off more'n half the time. The
summer we were playin in the Western
league we struck a manager who was
onto Hanks curves. He took him to
one side when the season begun an tol
him that he wouldn't stand no CRAFTS:
He marked out to him that if he didn't
play every day he would git laid off an
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was
barred. IL"
''Hank, bein lazier than ever that
year, was considerbul stirred up about
this. He didn't have no. likin to play,
but he was hot after the long green, an
he KEEP: playin along an kickin like
bay steer all the time. Finally he got a
couple of days. lay off an went to see
his mother, SO he said. He got back on
time an complained Of being sick, but
the manager tol him t. git inter tn

can it went on like this fer straight
80 days. 1t would allays rain JUS be-
fore the game, whether we was home or
away. Hank he got fat loafin around
an was on first rate terms with hisself.
Finally the manager had to let out some
Of the men to reduce expense, an Hank
got the run. Then the rains stopped.
Now, what do you think that man done

Chemical Reaction.

A French chemist has lately made
some Investigations in field not hither-
to SO thoroughly explored as many 9TH
ers, and from. them he draws the con-
clusion that chemical reaction cannot
occur between 1875 degrees and $50 de-
grees. Sulphuric acid and ammonia
will not react at so degrees, while at 60
to IS degrees the action is sudden and
violent. Neither caustic soda nor caustic
potash can be made to unite with the
same acid below 1875 degrees G. nor
with carbonates below so degrees. With
the latter, brisk effervescence sets in
about 80 degrees. If nitric instead of
sulphuric acid is used in such expert
ments, the temperature where reaction
begins seems to be lowered in every
se.-New York Sun.

welfare of all nations. Let US cal

takes, and look at the Hawaiian tan.
gle in that light.
/. 1t was a mistake to withdraw the
treaty already submitted by President
Harrison to the Senate. The truest
courtesy to the nation and to the Sem
ate would have been a message recon-
mending the non-approval Of the pro-
position of annexation.
2. 1t was mistake to suppose that
any question of arbitration was ever
submitted to this nation 1t takes two
differing parties to make an agree
ment to arbitrate.
8. 1t was mistake to appoint a
Commissioner with the powers given
to Mr.. Blount, without the concur
renee of the Senate. AS TO the Ques-
tion of annexation, it was proper to
send a commission, but not as to the
question of the governmental author
ity of the Provisional Government.
4. 1t was a mistake to suppose that
our Minister to the Provisional Gov
ernment could play the double part of
Minister and advocate to the deposed
queen.
3. 1t was mistake to suppose that
there was any authority to subvert
the Provisional Government within
the lines of peace.
6. 1t was a mistake to conceal the
real purpose of the Executive from
the Senate and the people of the ma
ton.
Z. 1t was a mistake to suppose that
the final judgment of the nation would
not side with the heroic band that had
done without bloodshed what our
fathers did in the Revolution.
s. 1t was mistake to suppose that
any international wrong had been
committed by our Minister to Hawaii,
when the great nations had not re-
monstrated, but had at once recog-
nized the Provisional Government.
8. 1t was mistake to suppose that
secopd-rate craftsmanship at home or
in Hawaii was any match for the Sc
rene and long headed wisdom of the
Government.
What is due Hawaii is the immedi-
ate recall of our present Minister, a
frank apology for our mistakes, the
recognition OF Republic, if it should
be established, and the ultimate an
nexation of the country, if she wants
it, to the State of California. Moth
ing could have been more helpful to
that end than our series of mistakes.

Very Beginning" and from her are
sprung numerous spirits. They in
habit five different floors, into which
the great cocoanut is divided. From
certain of these spirits mankind is
descended. The islanders, regarding
themselves as the only real men and
women, were formerly accustomed to
look upon strangers as evil spirits in
the guise of humanity, whom they
killed when they could, offering them
as sacrifices.
Hades, or the land of ghosts, is sup
posed to be inside the mighty cocoanut
she'll, beneath the surface Of the earth,
which is merely a thin crust over a
vast hollow. Some OF the islands, be-
ing OF volcanic origin, are honey
combed with caves and frightful
chasms, down the deepest of which
the corpses of the dead are thrown,
so that the survivors not unnaturally
imagine the entrance to the neither
world to be down one or more of these
pits. Existence in this strange spirit
land is pursued by the immortals very
much as people live on earth. They
are numerous and their ways are
mostly far from engaging. Some tribes
of them are cannibals, whose delight
it is to entrap and feed upon the souls
of mortals. Others only have one eye
apiece.
To these natives of the South Pacific
the cocoanut is q vegetable product of
the utmost importance. Its origin
was divine. There was young wo-
man, daughter of goddess, who lived
in cave, close by which ran stream
that was filled with eels. One day
while bathing she was surprised by
huge eel, which rapidly assumed the
form of a handsome youth. He in
formed her that he was the god of the
eels. They became lovers, but finally
he was compelled to bid her farewell.
Before doing so, however, he appeared
in his eel shape and directed her to
cut off his head and bury it. She did
so, and it sprouted into tree. From
this tree all the cocOanuts in the world
were derived, and on each nut are in
vari tbly found the two eyes and
mouth of the young man. The white
kernel is commonly referred to in
Polynesia as his "brains."

Like all other aborigines encoun-
tered in the march of civilization, the
Polynesians have succumbed to alco-
hol and the diseases of the white man.
The native Hawaiian population is
today only one-tenth as numerous as
when Captain Cook sailed. Thanks
to that great navigator, most of the
islands of Oceanica are overrun with
pigs, his rule having been to leave a
pair of them wherever he landed. No
large mammals are native to those
isolated islands, because they could
not reach them.
The savage Polynesians even now
commonly call the white people "sky-
breakers" They think that the
heavens shut down over the earth at
the horizon, and that the pale faces
must have burst through the wall of
sky from beyond in order to reach
their islands. They believe that the
world is a cocoaDut shell of enormous
dimensions, at the top of which is a
single aperture communicating with
the upper air where human beings
dwell. At the very bottom of the
shell is a stem gradually tapering to a
point, which represents the beginning
of all things. This point is spirit or
demon without human form, whose
name is "Root of All Existence" By

from the islands contain the usual
references to tribal marauding. At
Rendovs, New Georgia, a great
uprising has taken place. The coast
men had suffered severely from the
attacks of tribes from the hills, and
had started on retaliatory e1ped
ition. This was being carried on in
a tiendish manner, and it is stated in
the letters received that it would be
a truly humane act if a British man
of-wsr would visit the place, and put
a stop to the barbarities. It is
believed that rich mineral deposits
abound in the Solomon Group, and
party described as scientific min
ing party from New Caledonia has
arrived in the group on fossicking
and exploring undertaking. Asmall'
coasting vessel had driven ashore on
the coast of New Georgia, near Cape
Pitt, but was fosted without much
danger. In the German portion of
the lslsnds-said to be the largest
and richest in the group-very little
is to be seen in the way of settlement
of any kind by white people. At
Yssbel, as well as at Choiseul and
Buugainville, the natives are con-
stanlly at war. Some recruiting for
the French stations in New Caledonia
is done, also for the German COM
pany's stations in New Britain and
adjacent islands, but British vessels
are prohibited from engaging in
trade at these islands, and are
mulcted in heavy penalties should
they infringe the regulations. In
the other parts of of the group the
Queensland labor vessels get many
recruits; indeed, one account says
that nearly half the young fellows in
the islands have at some time or
other worked on the sugar stations

Honey For England.

Mr.. Rewcastle left this city a few
months ago for his home in Eng
land, taking with him about three
tons of honey. He has returned to
town after disposing of the honey
in London when it readily sold for
ten cents a pound, an advance of
about five cents on the local price.
Mr.. Rewcastle states that a Lon

tons each year if he can furnish it.

TWELVE HOURS SAVED BETWEEN COLORADO
AND NEW YORK CITY.
The Missouri Pacific railway on April
20, 1894, placed in effect a new schedule
for its "Fast Mail' train between Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and Kansas
City and st. Louis; leaving Denver at 800
p. M, Colorado Springs at 5:25 p. M,
and Pueblo at 700 p. NJ, and arriving at
Kansas City at 545 p. M, St. Louis at
6:55 a. M, and Chicago at 500 a. M, with
direct connection over all trunk lines
for New York City, Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington, D. c., and all inter
mediate points.
This will en- lab passengers from Colo
RADIO interior points to make direct
connection with the Missouri Pacific EAST
Mail" at Pueblo, by taking d. & R. g.,
train No. 4, thereby saving twelve hours
time on the eastbound trip, and enabling
them to avoid disagreeable lay-over,
with the advantage of only one change Of
cars between Colorado and New York
City, or other eastern points, which is
made in Union Depot.

Chicago. July 1.-THE railroad strike
is not in evidence here to-day except at
the headquarters of the A. R. U. There
the few committeeman and officials who
we're on hand declared that the strike was
on and hot, but the various railroads
showed no signs of trouble. All the reg
ular through trains are running and on
time; the packing houses at stock yards
are all at work, and business generally,
apparently, is rapidly assuming its nor
NAL condition.
President Debs, however, IS still posi-
tive that there is q strike, and, while ad-
mitting that the Chicago unions appeared
to be weakening. he declared that they
would eventually become united and win
the fight. n
INFORMATION AGAINST DEnG.
The information, which District At

not because he was summoned, as he had
not been sent for, but on the advice of
his lawyers.

Newspaper Subscription List.

Newspaper Subscription List.
Few readers or publishers of papers
fully and clearly understand the laws gov
erning subscriptions. The decision of
the United States court is:
!. Subscribers who do not give exPress
orders to the contrary are considered as
wishing to renew their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the dlscon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the publish
er may continue sending them until all
arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
to which they are directed, they are res
ponsible until they have settled bills and
ordered them discontinued,
4. If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publishers and the
papers are sent to the former address
they are held responsible.
S. The courts have decided that refus-
ing to take periodicals from the Office or
removing and leaving them uncalled for,
is prima facie evidence of intentional
fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time if they do not wish to continue
taking it; otherwise the publisher is,
authorized to send it and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express
notice with payment of all arrearages is
sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any one
for fraud who takes paper and refuses
to pay for it. Under this law the man
who allows his subscription to run along
for sometime unpaid, and then orders it
discontinued, or orders the postmaster to
mark it refused" and has postal card
sent notifying the publisher, lays himself
liable to arrest and fine, the same as for
theft.

ACCIDENTAL VICTORY.
whether the Vigllant Would Have
Won the Race No One Knows.

Belfast July 17.-An accident to-day
robbed the Vigilant of some of the glory
of outsaillng the Prince of Wales crack
cutter, Brittania, which is her due. That in
the ordinary course of events the Vigil
ant would have won there can bo no ques
tion, for the race had been more than two
thirds won and the Vigilant was in the
lead nearly six minutes when the Brit
tania's forestay parted and she was obliged
to drop out, leaving the American sloop
to finish as she would.
The course was the same as sailed yes
terday, fifty miles on the Belfast Lough,
and is the eighth race between the two
yachts and the first one won by the
American.
