Base Ball for Library.

The fat and lean citizens Of Mineral
Point will play game of base ball at
the fair grounds on Monday afternoon,
June %, for the benefit of the free
library and incidentally for their
health and the amusement Of the pub
lie. The zeal with which preparation
is being made for this game gives as
surance that 1t will be the greatest
combination sporting and social event
of the season. 1t Is expected TO be so
mirth provoking as to make the lean
men fat and the fat men lean. To
provide against possibility Of being
unfinished through players being dis
abled, each side names 80 representa-,
tives, active and substitutes, as fof-
lnwc.

Mineral Point people will very gen.
orally be interested and pleased 10
read the following, taken from the
Deadwood, (S. Dak.) Daily Pioneer,
of June 18th:
Rev. i. +. Clough, presiding elder
and superintendent of the Black Hills
mission conference, returned from
Michigan yesterday and found await
ing him the degree of Doctor OF Di-
vinity, conferred by the U. S. Grant
University of Athens, Tenn. The
degree is highly priced by the doctor
fol the reason that it was conferred
at the instance of the dean of the uni
velsity, George L. Neweome. who was
a sort of portege of the doctors
in his struggle for an education. The
doctor met Newcome when he was a
boy, selling window fasteners and
cleaners to raise money to pay for
college education. During his strug-
giles DR.. Clough was his adviser and
and would have advanced him funds
if necessary. As tribute of gratitude
the degree is priceless, and 1t could
not have been more worthily be-
slowed.
DR.. Clough went to Hermosa, May
Both, where he delivered the Decor
alton Day oration, and from thence
to Pringle, Hot Springs and Grand
Rapids, Mich, to attend the National
Congress Of Charities and Corrections.
While there he delivered six adj
dresses IN three days, and after all
this, he returned "iust as well and
hearty as he ever was

of guests incident thereto, this issue
of the paper is delayed several hours.

Annexation Club Organizes and
ELECTS Officers.
LORRIN A. THURSTON PRESIDENT
Big Attendance at Drill
Shed Last Night.
Constitution Adopted = Stirring
Speeches Made by Ardent
AnnexationiSts.

Honolulu has seen larger and more
exciting annexation meetings than
that held Friday evening in the Drill
| Shed, but at none of the meetings held
in past years has there been a more
healty, business-like, political deter
mination displayed. When Chairman
Hartwell called the meeting to order,
there were fully 500 people in the hall,
large proportion of whom were mem
bers of the original Annexation Club,
and also a good number who had come
to add their names to the list, in order
that they might join in the good work.
The business of the meeting ran
along smoothly. Ample time was given
for discussion, and the general unan-
unity of opinion demonstrated that the
majority of those present were not in
clined to split hairs on small points
The speech-making which interspersed
the business deliberations was sharp,
short and to the point, and the en-
thusiasm reached its highest pitch
when P. G. Jones declared for annex
alton, contract labor or no contract
labor.
In opening the meeting, Mr. Hart
we'll said
Gentlemen of the Annexation Club
and It's Friends:
''At a meeting of the Annexation
Club last Friday evening wish was
expressed that the Club should be so
organized that its membership should
be open to friends of annexation gem
orally, without regard to any particu-
lar political or party bias, to enable
all who believe in that object to asso-
ciate together to accomplish that pur-
pose. That wish found expression in
motion to the effect that special COM
mittee should be appointed to draft
constitution to incorporate that idea
and to propose that draft at a meet
ing which that committee was author
lied to call. This meeting is called
pursuant to that motion, and the report
of that committee is now in order"
The report and the constitution were
as follows:
To the Presiding Officer of the Annex
alton Club:
The committee appointed to draft a
constitution and bylaws of the Club
and submit the same at a meeting of
the Club, to be called by the commit
tee, now report that they have pre-
pared and herewith submit a draft of
the constitution, embodying all the es-
sentials of bylaws which seem to the
committee to be requisite to accom-
plish the single purpose of the club,
which is contemplated by it's proposed
constitution. J. H. FISHER,
Chairman

placed In the way by the Turkish forts, the
Mediterranean feet under Admiral Selfrldge,
now $50 miles away, will come to her assis-
tance. The British feet will no doubt also
be near at hand to back up the American
commander If occasion arises.
From the highest authority 1t was learned
that the Powers had agreed to the pro-
eramme and not only will offer no objection
or resistance to the entrance Of the Bancroft
to the Golden Horn, but will aid her II nec-
essary.
The decision to send the Bancroft to Con-
stantinople was reached some weeks ago,
Just before her departure from Annapolis as
q training ship. but received Its seal after
the Cabinet meeting, when orders were sent
to her commander to report at once to Min
lister Terrell on arriving at Smyrna, and
there follow bis instructions
Captain Belknap, of the Bancroft on re-
ceiving Mr.. Terrell on board, Is to sail for
Constantinope and pass the Dardanelles, no
matter what may happen. Minister Terrell
which will become the official guard ship OF
the United States.
The American feet under Admiral Selfridee
consists Of the San Francisco, flagship; the
Minneapolis, the Marblehead, and the Gin
cinnati and the Bancroft. Minister Terrell will
board the Bancroft, which will become the
despatch .,oat Of our legation by this simple
action. The ship will proceed to Chanak,
which is about half way between Smyrna
and the Dardanelles. From this point Min
lister Terrell will send an official despatch to
the Foreign Office in Constantinople that he
Is coming to the capital on the American
gunboat Bancroft.
No formal request Is to be made for The
privilege of entering the Sea Of Marmora and
no opportunity will be given the Porte to
exercise the power Of denial. The report
that frman had been refused by the officials
at Constantinope is inaccurate; no author
ity has been sought recently and none will
be. The statement from Minister Terrell will
be positive and will leave no grounds for
discussion of the subject.

Cranberry Boys Flooded.

About Hammonton, N. j.. the meadows
were all covered with water. Owners Of
cranberry bogs were worrying lest what was
left OF their crops after the devasting fires
Of last spring would be- ruined. Of the thou
sand little islands which dot the Jersey
shore from Great Bay southwark, almost
every one was under water all day. The
Long Beach Railroad from Beach Haven to
Harvey Cedar5, a distance OF eight miles is
washed away. In Barnegat Bay much dam
age was done 10 sailing craft. Several score
of small boats were ruined or sunk.
In New York City little damage was done,
beyond the flooding of cellars in South and
West streets. Thousands, however, anxious
ly waited to learn the fate Of overdue ves-
sells, as the hurricane swept directly across
the track Of the incoming steamships.
