A meeting of the Baseball League
will be held today at noon in the
office of w. F. Allen, to consider
the application of the Kameha-
meha Alumni Association for ad-
mission to the league. The fol-
lowing players compose the nine
r. Pahau, Sam Mahuka, G. Bridges,
W. AHA, G. Kaanoi, o. Crowell, P.
Davis, J. Aea, B. Lemon.
Most of all the above-named per-
sons composed the Kamehameha
nine last year. They are no longer
attending school, and desire admis-
sion to the league. Their request
will likely be complied with, and
this years league be composed of
four clubs instead of three, as pre-
viously arranged.
The admission of the Kameha-
meha club into the league will ma
terially increase the interest in
baseball. The boys are good play
ers and will do their share towards
making the coming season an in
teresting and successful one.
It will be necessary to arrange
a new schedule if the Kameha-
meha boys request is complied
with. This is, however, a matter
of small moment, though perhaps
it may delay the opening of the
series somewhat later than the Goth
of the present month.
The different clubs are practic-
ing daily and from indications this
years games will be stubbornly
contested. The public, no doubt,
will show due appreciation of the
resurrection of baseball by in
creased patronage.
Simmons and Behrens, who will
form the Stars battery during the
season, have written that they will
arrive here on the Oath.

TABLEAUX AT PUNAH0U.
Scenes From the Story Of the
Trojan War Represented.

There was q goodly number of
friends and patrons OF the school who
assembled on Friday morning to wit
ness the tableaux presented by Mrs.
Frear's readirg club, representing
scenes from the story of the Trojan
war. With liberal and judicious use
of gold and silver paper, cheese cloth
Of divers colors, pasteboard, rainbow
scarfs and sheets, they produced a
most pleasing array of gods and god
esses. Jupiter, the Olympian Thun-
derer," and the "White-Armed Queen
Juno, Mistress of the Golden Throne, !"
were truly imposing in the opening
picture. The banquet of the gods at
the marriage of Pelius aud Thetis, and
the surrounding deities, were all we'll
represented.
Where all the tableaux were so very
good, it is hardly fair to single out any
for special mention; but we must re-
call the fearful Briseis, led away from
the tent of the wrathful Achilles by
the reluctant heralds of Agamemmon,
and who was not touched with pity at
the parting of Hector and Audro.
mache, or thrilled by the spirited con-
test over the dead body of Patroclus.
We felt as If Paris needed to look de-
jected when chidden by Hector-and
were glad to see that he did-and we
did not marv-l at the choice of Paris,
for Helen was so fair.
The reading club was the thought of
Mr. T. w. Damon and Mrs. Frear,
and its object is to interest the young
people in classic literature and thus
direct and cultivate their taste in
reading.
Mrs. Frear has led thu club, giving
it much time snd thought. We learn
ed with some surprise that the
younger children of the school attend
in greater numbers than the older
ones, and would think that the boys
ami girls who expect to enter college
soon would be glad to avail them
selves of this opportunity OF study in
3 line which would be SO helpful in
after years.
Mrs. Frear deserves the best thanks
of the parents OF these young people
for the time and patience she has so
freely bestowed upon them, and If
one may judge from the interested
faces of those who made up the audi
ence yesterday, it is surely safe to say
that she has them.
We hope that there will be large
increase in the membership Of the
club next year, and may they thor
oughly enjoy their STUDY Of the ad.
ventures of the "wise and noble Ulys-
ses."

VICTIM OF CONSUMPTION.
Grocer ]. q. Guy Succumbs to the
Fell DESTROYER.


J. II. Guy died yesterday morn
ing of consumption. He had been
a sufferer for years, the disease be-
ing hereditary in his family.
Mr.. Guy came here on October
10Th of last year from the Colonies,
where he had resided for the past
| sixteen years, en- route to his old
home in Covington, Indiana.
Finding that the climate agreed
with him, he concluded to remain,
and shortly after his arrival opened
a grocery store on Hotel street.
His business was successful from
the start. Laborious work in con-
nection with opening the store
caused his lungs-which had be-
come partially healed-to break
afresh, compelling him to take to
his bed. During the past seven
weeks Mr.. Guy was perfectly help
less. Mrs. Patterson, at whose
house Mr.. Guy resided, showed him
every possible attention, which
service was gratefully acknowl-
edged by the sufferer to his physi-
clan, spiritual adviser and friends
before he passed away.
Mr.. Guy was 40 years of age, q
Union army veteran and won dis
tinction in the Fourth Indiana
Cavalry during the civil war.
His funeral will take place today
at pm. from Mrs. Patterson's
residence, opposite Y. M. G. A.
hall, and will be atteded by mem
bers of the G.. A. r. Services will
be conducted at the house by Rev.
Garvin and Adjutant Egner, of the
Salvation Army, as requested by
the deceased.

THE BATTLESHIP.

We shall have great pleasure in for
warding to Washington the splendid
list of names printed on page z today,
asking that one of the new battleships
be named after our tight little State
that has been cradle for the American
navy.
We are immensely gratified that so
many Of the readers of THE NEWS have
had the disposition to enter so heartily
into the spirit of this matter. We have
number Of names that have come in
too late for getting in with the first list,
and with these for a nucleus shall begin
another list, and when there are enough
of them shall send them, too, to Wash
ington.
Incidentally, we may note that this
big list of names has an especial
significance to us. Not only is il
a goodly representation of Rhode
Islanders, but it gives a fair
idea of where The News circula-
tion goes. The list will be found TO
represent nearly all parts of the city OF
Providence and a large part of the out of
town districts Of Rhode Island, extend
ing also over into Connecticut, and TAX
ing in, we believe, every town in the
State. The names have been sent in
without solicitation on our part, except
as made in the columns of this news
paper, and it has been made
evident to us that most of them repre-
sent regular News readers. We confess
we did not expect so large response
to our call and the fact that the sigma
lures are still coming in indicates that
we shall send at least thousand more
names TO Washington.
We congratulate our readers on the
interest they have taken in this matter
md hope we may get that battleship
named Rhode Island.

tect his fellow-citizens from the calami
ty impending.
Mr.. BAssETT elucidated the charactel
of the franchise that is complained Of
and explained how the contract with the
city was actually not made with the city
government but with the Assembly. This
was II very good point to clear up fol-
the information of his audience, al.
though he might have expressed himself
more fairly than he did as 10 the City
Councils position in the transaction.
The Union Railroad Company had
asked protection from the Assembly
against the 90-days' freeze-out clause in
the city charter, and the Council ap-
pointed a committee to look after the
city's interest in the matter. That COM
mittee aud the railroad people got to-
gether, with the result that the franchise
law was passed in a way that was de-
signed to conserve the interests Of both
the municipal and the railroad corpora
tions, and for all the Indignation meet
ing 1t is yet to be demonstrated,
to the satisfaction of the public, that the
transaction was not fair to both inter
ests, although Mr.. BAssETT is sure that
the city had its birthright sold for
mess of pottage. Where was Mr.. BAs-
sETT in the balmy spring days of 1892
that he wasn't on deck to protect the
birthright and kick over the proffered
pottage?
The other speakers were Mr..
CHARLES L. CARPENTER, Mr.. ROBERT
GRIEvE and Mr.. A. WILLIAMS.
Mr.. WILLIAMS was by all odds the star
speaker of the eveningin that he worked
up the most enthusiasm. Anybody who
enjoys even superficial acquaintance
with Mr.. WILLIAMS can accordingly
Judge OF the predominating character
istics and sentiments of the audience
present.
The meeting closed with the adoption
of resolutions protesting against action
by the City Council under the act re-
Gently passed by the Assembly. And
these should be accorded all the weight |
and influence of the gathering that
passed them.

AN APPALLING CATASTROPHE.

1T is tale of horror that comes from
Iowa, where a tornado destroyed ham
lets, laid waste farms, overthrew
schoolhouses and killed many persons,
including large number of children.
The brief dispatches tell of "horses
cattle, and vehicles hurled through the
air like chaff; where residences had
stood nothing but cellar hole remains
six schoolhouses were blown to pieces
and three teachers and many school
children killed; many of the school
children were carried from quarter to
half mile before they were dropped. !"
In all perhaps more than one hundred
persons lost their lives. 1t is an awful
piece of news.

OF telling the truth, instiled in us early

we are compelled to note that that meet

to an "outburst of popular indignation

roar of Niagara Falls. The gathering
did not "fill ono of the largest halls in

TO the painful conclusion that the rep
resentative citizens of this community
may be moved To hearken TO the words
OF our esteemed aud loud mouthed Mr..
JAMES A. WILLIAMS and our esteemed and
eloquent friend, Mr.. RATHBoYE GARD
NER, with equal approval-an hypothesis
which Is evidently not tenable. WHY.
bless your soul, The Journal does not
give us even the names of the ''repre-
sentative citizens" who sat on the plat.

only an emasculated list. The meeting

THE STORY OF THE FRANCHISE.

1t is timely, while we are discussin,
the Union Railroad Company, to glanc,
at the story Of the much talked abou
franchise.
Ii we recall period in local histor,
four or five years ago we may remember
that the town was then in convulsions
over proposition to substitute electric.
ity for horse power on the street rail-
way. The old Union Railroad Company.
in 1890, applied for permission to equip
its lines with electric power. After a
year more or less of heated discussion,
in which much the same kind of pub
lie sentiment" that expressed itself Mt In
fantry Hall Saturday evening fought the
trolley idea until it had talked itself out
the City Council permitted the railroad
to equip an experiment line on Broad
street.
This line had only run a few months
when public sentiment" changed and
demand came from all parts of the town
for further electric equipment. But as
the company by its president, Mr.. JESSE
METcALF, wrote to the Council, it was
not practicable to equip the road with
electricity under existing conditions. The
operation necessitated the throwing ont
of the entire plant, the rebuilding of
roadbed and the purchase of new cars
rs well as the installation of new
plant, and the cost would be not less
than $4,000, 900, which would have to be
raised by bond and mortgage.
But when the Union Railroad Com
pany talked this over with the bankers.
with whom the bonds would have to be
placed, the bankers promptly told them
that while the investment would be
considered good one, "it is proper for
us to state that tho clause OF
the charter empowering the City
Council, on giving ninety days notice |
or its intention so TO do, TO annul. |
amend, or alter the terms and condi- |
tions upon which your company is au-
thorized to operate its lines of road. and |
to order the rails or any part TO be taken
up and the streets restored 10 their
original condition, etc, would naturally
make any conservative person hesitate
to purchase the bonds; and the banking
firms did not care TO undertake their
negotiation.
80 the Union Railroad Company went
to the Assembly for such legislation as
would make the transaction possible
and enable the people to have the trolley
service.
Notice was given TO the city of this
and the City Council promptly
appointed committee 10 see that the
municipalities interest in the matter
was protected. The city authorities and
he directors of the railroad came
o an understanding on the matter
md legislation was framed and
'assed OF n nature that was believed
o he mutually satisfactory. The
'ct granted 2O-years' protection {, the
abroad from competition, or schemes TO
'acFmail j. by pretended competition.

fares. The City Council may order the
taking up of rails. but must give an al
Tentative route for their laying.
All through the time the franchise
was under discussion the main opp O.
sition, as we recall it, was rot to the
franchise but to the use of the trolley
system at all. The argument was that
the trolley wires would disfgure the
streets and interfere with fire service and
endanger life. AS this newspaper
pointed out at the time april 30. 1892
There was just such howl when rail-
roads were first proposed and again
when JOHN STEPHENSON invented
street cars"
How absurd all this objection sounds
today. But we have got something new
to be indignant" over, something new
to protest against. And that
is the franchise itself. 1t is said that
the railroad company which bought out
the old concern is not paying enough
money to the city and is not giving
transfer tickets, and there has also
cropped out of all this feeling an opposi-
tion to an extension of franchise. In
other words, we must ask tho railroad
company to invest millions and guaran-
tee 1T no protection; give it no lease. The |
proposition is prerosterous.
1t was the directors of the Providence |
Gas Company who complained, later, in
their annual report, when presented |
with similar contract rs that held by |
the railroad company, that "We think
that we should have had the twenty
years of rest from competition or
threatened competition without pay to
the city treasury" But they were
grateful enough. especially after the AD-
DICKS onslaught, to accept peace at any
price and to have the city government
take its hands off and not
permit them to be constant
ly threatened with assaults on
their business to the disturbance of the
public as we'll as themselves. The situ-
alton with the trolley company is ex-
actly the same as that Of the gas COM
parry. Observed the directors of the
latter institution, in their report: "We
get from the city in this contract no
new rights or privileges, and no conces-
sions except promise of freedom from
the raids upon our business and fran
chise which have characterized the last
fifteen years--raids which have proved
IS troublesome to the city as to us, if
aot as costly"
The Union Railroad Company may be
getting big profits out of its franchise.
We don't know anything about that.
But the city is, at least, getting more
han it ever got before, and the public
ire getting service that is unequaled
n the world, and neither city nor public
las surrendered anything. unless we
pretend to believe that we might have
eased the streets for bigger percent
ge. A land owner who gives lease of
lis estate for 90 years for somebody
lse to put up business block on might
ater find that he might have got bet
er price and be disposed to wax indig-
ant. But, then. again he mightn't.
