FUN ON THE DIAMOND.


There is going to be lots of fun Satur-
day afternoon in the game of baseball
to be played at Internatlonal Park, Com
munipaw avenue. between the Jersey
City Lodge Of EIks and Hoboken Lodge.
lit viii be The second meeting between
these teams and a great hattie IS bound
to ensue. In the first contest both teams
developed considerable skin as players
and the game was replete with some in
aeresting plays, but the great feature was
The efforts of the members of both organi-
zaItions to disconcert the efforts of their
rivals and at the same time root for
Their teams snccesA Many amusing
devices were employed in this, one Of
which was a bass drum and three darkies
dressed In grotesuue uniforms. These
were considered sure winners for Hobo
ken, but instead of proving the mascots
were evidently hoodoos, as the team was
beaten by one run in an extra inning.
The Hobokens have been practicing
steadily since their last game, while Jer-
sey City. as was the case previous to the
odher game has been inactive. They are
very confident, howeEeer, and Will have
on the last. Jim Knowles viii play third
base, which IS a great addition. He has
just returned from Atlanta, Ca. where

again, and as his work won the previous
game H0boAen is rather dubious on the
result of the next. The delegations from
every inSplennent for s6e producffon Of
noise and the spectators who witness the
game will find more sport than a circus
could provide.
stevens Won HIS First Game.
In the games yesterday Of the Invita-
tion Tennis Tournament at Long Branch
the friends of William A. Larned were
given a big scare by the remarkably
clever exhibition Of tennis given by
Richard Stevens of Hoboken. He played
this season and after defeating Edwin
P. Fisher in the morning locked horns
with Harmed, the champion of America,
in the afternoon, who has just returned
from a conques in Europe, and by brill
liant lobbing and excellent close net play
ran up a victory in the first set and
after losing the second set scored a vic
tory in the third. 1t was a scorehing day
and Stevens had not the strength to
continue his speed and Larned won
finally, but it was the closest call had
by him in his games in this country for
several seasons. Neel was beaten by
Wrenn, which leaves the latter and
Larned tied for first place. The summary
OF the playing yesterday and the record

promiscuous slashing about with
lash whips should be stopped, and
that right quickly.

A leading medical journal is au-
thority for the statement that the
onion is one of the greatest health
promoters of all vegetables that
grow. The onion is said to be
food par excellence to alleviate
any malady from nervous prostra-
ton to poor complexion. The
author, however, fails to remark
upon the effects of an onionated
breath upon the community. The
onion may be all right, but an
onion-laden breath in the midst
of a collection of fairly suscepti-
BILE individuals breeds more cases
of nervous prOstration than any
other agent on the lists of modern
hygenic discoveries.

CONTINUE FORT STREET WIDEN
ING,

Now that the Government is be-
ginning the task of widening Fort
street, a petition is being circu-
lated to have the excellent work
continued to Beretania street. I'm
less there is some unusual barrier
in the way unknown to the gen
eral public, we can see no reason
why this petition should not be
granted, and Fort street from
King to Beretania laid out on the
new lines proposed in the act
passed by the last Legislature.
Very seldom is it that much is
gained by carrying on public i'm
provements piece meal, doing a
little here and a little there and
leaving good deal uncompleted.
The prospective erection of new
buildings on the Campbell proper
ty has possibly done something to
hurry on the widening process
from the Wichman store to King
street. But why should the i'm
prOvements stop there? Two new
blocks are already in process of
erection mauka of Hotel street.
This means that the business cen
ter is steadily moving maukaward
on Fort street, consequently no
time should be lost TO put that
portion near the business blocks
in such a condition that two draws
and a tramcar will not completely
stop traffic, as is possible at the
present time.
Further than this the appear
ance of the street ought to count
for something. With the two new
stone front buildings going up on
the new street line, the Chinese
tin can shanties are left to occupy
the positions of prominence, and
good, new, substantial buildings
hidden from view. Then again,
with one store on the old line and
another on the new, the general
outline of the street will put to
shame Boston alley. If building
improvements in the business cen
ter are to continue, there ought to
be a prompt movement made to
establish the new lines and make

1t now appears that the officers
who assisted Dr.. Jameson in his
Transvaal raid and now share i'm
prisonment with him have not been
dismissed outright from the British
army. They have been permitted
to ask for their discharge, and con
sequently retin full right to pen
sion, etc. Those not prosecuted
have only been censured. Great
Britain seems to be following the
plan of some railroad corporations,
who discharge employees on whom
rests the responsibility for a serious
accident, and after the popular flu
rore has quieted down hire them
over again. Possibly Great Britain
would not have raised serious OBJ
jections had DIR. Jameson been sue

and that since 1852, during which
year the change was made from
the Julian or old system of reck-
oning time, to the Gregorian sys-
TEN which is now in use. The sec
Ond defect of many other perpet-
ual calendars is that their use has
involved following out of such
complicated directions" that the
trouble and time taken to find out
what one is looking for are so
great, and the liability of error so
large, as to do away entirely with
the utility of the scheme. This cal
endar obviates both of these diff
culties by extending over all time
from the beginning of the Christ
ian era, and by placing at the
searcher's disposal the calendar
of the entire year looked for, so
that Immediately the day of the
week for any date of that year is
determined.
Besides the results indicated by
the title, the calendar gives i'm
mediate answers TO a number of
other interesting questions, such,
for instance, as: When was the
last time that February had five
Sundays, and when will this oc-
cur again? When will the days
of the week recur again on the
same days of the year as in 1896?
Show that no future century will
begin on either Sunday, Wednes-
day or Friday.
The calendar is certainly a Gu
rious and ingenious compilation,
and cannot fail to entertain and
edify. At the same time, there is
much that is practical in a system
which gives dates correctly with
out necessitating the unravelling
of a mass of figures quite unsur
mountable to the every day indi
vidual with little aptitude at fig
uring outside the principles of
percentage. In the countingroom,
the court room, and in schools a
calendar of ready reference which
sweeps from the beginning to the
end is quite a valuable if not a
accessory. COmprehen-
siveness and simplicity are the
two vital requirements which Mr.
Laws has apparently mastered
with high degree of success.

one complete sweep along the en-
tire street. Put the small wooden
buildings back where they belong
and it will not be many months
before capital will be found to re-
place them with more substantial
structures. The Legislature has
made all the necessary laws and
appropriated the necessary funds.
and the laws cannot be put into
effect too rapidly to suit the bust
ness community.

SMALL FARMERS AND ADYER-
TISING.

More advertising for Hawaii
is a string that has been harped on
for years, and every day brings
new evidence that more vigorous
twanging Is needed in order that
something may be accomplished to
satisfy the appetite for information
possessed by many capable men of
the United States. One of the re-
cent additions to the ranks of Ha-
waiian coffee growers is a gentle
man from Butte, Montana. This
pioneer states that for several
months he endeavored to obtain
literature of some kind that would
give him a fair idea of what the
country offers to small agricultural
lists. He failed to get anything.
Finally he happened to run across
some tourists who during their trip
around the world had stopped a
few weeks in the Islands, and from
these people he secured sufficient
information and encouragement to
convince him that it was safe to
buy a ticket to Honolulu and take
chances on favorable opening
somewhere in the country. He ar
rived by recent steamer, has ia
ken up 150acres of coffee land, and
Is not only satisfied but enthusi-
astic ever the onportunities offered
IN the Olaa district.
This mans experience is only
one of many, and while Hawaii
properly poses as highly progress
sive for tropical country, we
know of nothing that reflects more

One of the latest magnificent
accessories to the Hawaiian
Tramways system is the old fash
Toned strip-leather whip, which
various drivers flourish with dex-
terity second only to a mountain
mule teamster. Not only is the
whip piled increasingly on the
backs of the Tramway's mules,
but it is too often fOurished about
in a manner to strike across the
backs of passengers patiently
waiting within the car for the
broken down affair to make its
usual mile an hour. Not only this.
the whip also comes in contact
with horses passing the car. and
aggravates the attack of nervous
prostration which every healthy
horse experiences when forced to
pass tramcar. 1t looks as though
the apology for tramcar was
plastered upon this community
for some time to come. but the

1t is rumored ON very good au-
thOrity that all members of the
American League take an oath to
use their influence for a reduction
of the military forces and giving
first preference to the Citizens
Guard. Nothing strengthens the
influence of officials or those whw.
are prominent in the cOunsels of
political or social organizations
more than steadily and carefully
sticking to original principles.
When one requirement of the oath
is overlooked there is a natural
tendency to cave in all around,
even to the extent of abjuring the
