BASEBALL GAME.
The Teachers Cross Bats on the
League Grounds.

a game OF base ball between the
school teachers now attending the sum
mer school took place on the League
grounds yesterday. The mines were
made up of pedagogues from Maui on
one side and those from all other ISL
ands on the other.
The Maui boys were anxious for the
fray to come off, as they felt they were
sure winners. The other players were
slow about coming forward because
they had not practiced.
The game was called at the end Of the
sixth inning on account of the Honolu-
Iu Club desiring the grounds for prac-
tice The score was to 4 in favor of
the Maui team. The game will be con-
tinued at $3.50 today on the same
grounds. Following is the list of play

CAN'T FIND OUT.
About the Chain that August
Schaefer Got Hold OF.


Schaefer Got Hold OF.
The August Schaefer case, in which
a brass Cor gold) chain has succeeded
in throwing the detectives into a fever
heat of excitement, is no nearer toward
a solution than when no one saw the
transaction between the four boys on
Monday afternoon.
August still tells the same old story,
and the other three lads, together with
the sister of one of the number, still
insist that the chain is a gold one, and
as such is worth its weight wherever
it is
Detective KAPPA was busy yesterday
trying to get some clue, but he was I'M
able to find out, with all his question
ing, which side is mistaken as to the
composition of the links of the chain
The matter was first placed in the
hands of Lieutenant Wells of the
mounted patrol, but finally the Deputy
Marshal said: "Oh, just give the thing
to KAPPA, and he will find where the
mistaken party is located" So there is
where 1t rests.

HAWAIIAN CIRCUS. JR.,
Youthful Projectors of a Scheme
That is Thought VIII Work.

Since the circus craze was renewed in
this city again several months ago, the
small boys have been wild to see the
small beginnings of a circus and bring
it to the height of success, such as Bar
NUNS or the Sells Brothers.
Adams lane is the locality that has
been most visibly affected with the
fever. The projectors, general manag-
ers and all-around trainers of wild and
domestic beasts are Charles Ludwig
sen Jr., Harry Steiner and Charles
Brickwood, all three of whom put on
very businesslike attitude when adj
dressed on the subject of circus.
Charles Brickwood, the clown, says
that he intends to make of himself a
genuine Hawaiian clown to surprise the
natives here and those in other coun-
tries through which the prospective
circus intends to travel.
Charles Ludwigsen says, further, that
they have succeeded so well that now
they possess a trained white and black
nanny goat-a goat that has progressed
so far that it Will now go around the
ring. This he explains is with Ludwig
sen at one horn, Steiner at the other
and the remainder of the circus people
pushing behind. AS yet there are no
camels, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, ele-
plants or other wild beasts. Charles
Ludwigsen says he intends to go to the
Coast with his father to secure talent
The only thing that he is sorry for
is the fact that the circus does not in
tend to pay his way to the Coast.
There has been one bad result accom-
panying the building of the circus
James Steiner, father of the aspiring
Harry, hasn't a nail, a hammer or a
saw in the house. All have gone to
help build the circus tent.

TURKEY EN- RECHAUFFE.

The French never waste food rs we
do in America, and from them many an
American housewife might learn how
to make dainty dishes of much that
would otherwise go to waste. Here is
way in which remnants OF turkey
may be served again, even more de-
lightfully than in its original form:
Turkey hashed with chestnuts-Cut
the remnants of a roast turkey into
neat slices, and heat them in little
white stock; then when hot, dish them
in a circle, strain, skim and thicken
the gravy in which they were heated,
add few drops Of lemon juice a
piece Of butter and the yolk of an egg
beaten up with a spoonful of cream or
new milk, and serve round the sliced
turkey with the center of the circle
filled up with a PURGE of chestnuts.
For this roast a pound of chestnuts,
remove the two skins, then cook them
slowly over a gentle fire in mixture
of two parts stock to one of white wine,
with a bouquet of herbs till they will
crush easily, then drain them, pound
them, and rub through a sieve; add a
seasoning of salt and coralline pepper
and use.

New York, March 29.-If one had the
power to be in several spots of this big
city at the same time some curious
sights coulG be seen on easter Sunday.
Nearly all The fations of the world are
collected in sufficient numbers under
the great cosmopolitan roof of Gotham
to have place of worship of their own,
and there is no day in the church cal
endar other than Christmas which is so
generally oberved as easter.
And each nationality has it's easter
parade. Of course, these individual
parades do not compare in glittering
nagnificence to the bewildering
pageant which winds and coils through
Fifth avenue from end to end, but the
people who compose them are just as
proud of their finery and as happy with

their sweethearts as the gilded young
men and diamond crowned misses who
lead the sparkling show On the recog-
niZed parade grounds of fashion.
In those sections of the city occupied
by the Latin races it is easily apparent
at easter time that the season is full
Of religious meaning to the people
the city. To the latter it is a festival
of fine dress, but in the Italian, Spanish
md French quarters the sanctity of the
day is more strictly observed.
In tho Little Italy of which Mulberry
Bend Z" the center here is one of the
oldest churches in the city. Forty
thousand of the poorest people in the
town worship there on easter Sunday:
from the first break of dawn until late
in the night it will be filled with an
ever changing congregation of devout
and humble, men, women and children
In Roosevelt street, at No. &c, is the
Church OF SIR Joachim. 1t was estab-
iished in 1888 by Father Morelli, who
attends to the spiritual welfare of a
vast army of parishiOners. There is
little rest for this priest. When he
isn't marrying some one he IS reading
the burial service over others or christ
ening babies or saying mass. TO at
tend to the religious wants of so many
people is no small matter.
The church building itself is very
much out of the ordinary. The ground
floor of the building is occupied as a
rag warehouse and the rag pickers and
rag packers may be seen plying their
vocation on week days while above
their heads oftentimes the solemn
masses for the dead are being read or
sung and the resounding tones of the
organ swell and still into momentary
silence the babel voices of the throngs
of idlers in the street below.
The entrance to the church is at the
side of the main building up broad
flight of stairs leading to a hallway,
upon one side of which is the audi :
torium and on the other the quarters
for the priests.
The church above the rag house is
we'll worth a visit. Its altar equip
ments are of the simplest character, al
most tawdy, in fact, but gaining dignity
from their very simplicity. The chairs
for the clergy behind the chancel rail
are upholstered in horsehair, and the
candles are we'll nigh burned to the
sockets from constant use.
There is a small pipe organ in the
rear gallery, and along the side walls
are shrines, glass inclosed, the presid-
ing saints of which are laden down
with offerings of flowers both real and

TCW EASTER DAY is FIXED.

1t has been over 800 years since the
rule was adopted which makes. Easter
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the sun crosses the line
BY this arrangement of things, Easter
may come as early as March %, or as
late as April %, but must forever oscIl-
late between the dates mentioned.
The word Easter is said to be from
the German "oster," (rising) and is
the Christian passover or festival of
the resurrection of Christ The Eng
lish name of the day is probably de-
rived from that of the old Teutonic
goddess Osten, whose festival occurred
at about the same time as our celebra-
ton of Easter. The proper time for
celebrating the festival was a theme
which gave rise to much heated discus
sion among early Christians. The
question was fully considered and fin
ally settled at the council of Nice, 325
A. D., by adopting the rule which
makes it fall upon the first Sunday
after the first full moon occurring
after March 81 During the present
century Easter has fallen from one to
four times on every date between
March and April 25, except March "a,
which has been skipped entirely.

1t is here that the Italians of the city
make their devotions on easter Sunday.
Or that day every woman and child
goes to the church dressed in new
clothes and carrying a little crucifix.

ers in the homes of the Pensioners, as

The Russians make a great deal Of
easter and while the religious signifi-
canoe of the season is not sighted it is
more of a festival with them than with
J amy other people. They go to the
Greek churches in the city and on
! easter each man, woman and child car
ries a little wax candle. At the door
of the church the candle is lighted, to
typify the entrance of Christ into Jeru-
salem. The Russians at easter time
not only celebrate the resurrection of
Christ, but also the awakening Of ma
ture after a six months sleep and they

During the six weeks of lent the Rus
slams, who are very observant of the
rules Of their church, have lived mostly
on rye bread, potatoes, cucumbers and
weak tea, and are longing for easter to
make up for lost time.
The easter table is set on the eve of
the holiday and remains so for three
days: In the center is placed a large
"Kuritsch," a cake that is sometimes
three feet high and is decorated with
a pink flower, as a symbol of spring.
The "Paskka," a very savory dish made
of cottage cheese, eggs, butter, sugar
and spices, is as indispensable to the
easter table of the car as of the Rus
sian peasant.
A quantity Of hard boiled, colored
eggs ham and brandy, as we'll as gin
gerbread, candy and nuts, complete

during the easter week brings an egg
and receives one in exchange and is
obliged to partake Of the dainties that
are on the able.
A priest is usually invited to bless
the easter table and to sprinkle the
'Kuitsch'' and the "Paskka'' with holy
water. On the eve of the holiday a
little before midnight the people, young
and old, dressed in their best, start for
church, where is held the great easter
service.

MUSTARD PLASTERS.
A Berlin Girl Uses Them as a Beautify-
ing Cosmetic.

To Berlin factory girl belongs the
credit of having found new cosmetic.
1t had been noticed for a long time that
every Saturday she would complain
about toOthache, which always entirely
disappeared by Sunday morning. AS
sure as Saturday came around she
would be seen. with her face swathed in
bandages, but 9th erwise attended 20
her duties as usual
Finally the people became curious as
to what caused this regular recurrence
of the evil. and one day the foreman OF
the factory loosened her bandage, and
10! there were two strips of mustard
plaster on her cheeks After close
questioning she confessed that she had
done the same thing every Saturday
in order to have nice red cheeks when
going to church Sunday morning.
The plasters hurt her somewhat, but
she preferred a little pain in order to
appear more winsome at church in the
morning, and at the dance in the after
noon. Where this girl succeeded others
would fail, because there are faces SC
ugly that the strength of mustard
plasters could not draw admirers tc
them.

At the Church of the TRANSPORTATION
in West Twenty-ninth street. better
known as The Little Church Around
the Corner" where all the famed actors
and actresses are married and buried
from, will be found those of the
stage folk who are religiously inclined
on easted Sunday. Recently the quaint,
rambling church was ornamented by

the fundamental idea of the Itch gate
is to provide a resting place at the en-
trance of the church yard for the COT
fin and give the pail bearers breath

Actors and actresses are more re-
ligious than most people give them
credit for. They have always made it
point to go to the little church when
in the city at easter time, and with
their fine clothes make a brave show
ing.
One of the oldest congregations is
that of the little floating chapel for
seamen, tied to one of the South street
wharves. Fashion does not count for
much there, as Jack knows little or
nothing about the changes of styles
and cares less. Out of the large num-

imitation. The roof is supported by
rafteTs, painted a wash out blue. The
auditorium has accommodations for
thirteen hundred people. There ars six
masses each Sunday and each is fully
attended. so that about eight thousand
sous attend church in San Joachim
every Sunday. Most of these people
do not understand English. They
might just as we'll be in Italy as in
Roosevelt street for the understanding
they have Of the Institutions OF the
land of their adoption. They are min
is;ered to by priests who can not speak
English. Their colony is a close cor
poration and knows no outside inf1u-
enCe.
Three priests assist Father Morelli
in the work, and none of them has any
spare time. Recently it was found nee
essary to establish another church in
the quarter, so the church of the Most
Precious Blood was dedicated in Baxter
street, near Canal.
One of the assistant priests, Father
Tremey, is an unusual man. H lives
in one of the tenements and has a gar
den on the roofs of the adjoining
shanties. He has a printing press
and half dozen fonts of type, and he
turns out all the literature necessary
to spread the news of the church. He
plays the organ, sings magnifcently,
doctors the sick, and makes a cordial
out of the leaves of the geranium plant.
which he calls the San Joachim cordial.
He makes a gill in ten minutes. and it
has fine mellow flavor, even when
drunk on the same day it is made.

In the manipulation of the cows
udder for the development OF dairy
properties, the great principles to be
borne in mind are the sensitiveness of
the cows nature, the delicacy or the
organ and the necessity OF treatment
widely differing from the natural ac-
ton of the sucking calf. The notion
that we must on every occasion imi-
tate nature as closely as possible, is
in this case, and liz many other cases,
a very mistaken one. Allowing the
calf to suck, or initiating in any de-
gree with the hand is ''bobbing' Or
plunging with the head, is altogether
wrong, if we want the deepest mixers
That system will retard development.
In nature there are 10 deep mixers
and the more We stick to natural or
quasi-natural means, the slower will
be the process of improvement upon
nature. The udder must be handled
with the greatest delicacy, and when
the COW is in milk must be clean
emptied at regular intervals. To drain
it to the last drop, no violence must
De uSeu, no disturbance OF ulSCcmIOTL
to the COW permitted. The skillful
management of the udder is mostly
mechanical, and learned by long and
intelligent practice; but there is more
than that. There is something also
in the managers power of expressing
kindness by the touch of the hand
and the tones of the voice, and this is
intuitive. An oaf of coarser nature,
whether he be a horse trainer, herds
man, a shepherd, or a worker in any
other capacity among livestock, can
never as the man of innate kindness
can, command the kindly response of
the animal he has to deal with. Chill
dren are quick to discover genuine
friendliness towards them, and to re-
sent feigned approaches. Brute ami
mails are not always without somewhat
of similar instinct. At least, they
are commonly amenable to superficial
kindness, whether they can or cannot
detect the spurious. 1t is very difficult,
however, to the man of sour tempera-
ment to constantly maintain false ap-
pearances. Even a COW will loose con-
fidence in him.-LondOn Livestock
