WATER SBUGS.
Uncanny Things That Come Through
the City Mains and Taps.

This morning a slug nearly two
inches long by an inch wide was sent
to Professor Koebele for identification.
1t came through a water pipe. The
specimen is mole brown with a white
streak beneath the body. It's general
makeup suggests the leech, but it is
much larger and wider. 1t is provided
with small mouth and suckers.
Professor Koebele says that several
slugs have been sent to him lately, and
it appears that they are becoming
quite numerous in the valley reser-
voirs. They are harmless little
creatures in the ordinary sense, but
would be apt to make one feel very
uncomfortable to see one in glass of
water.-Hawaiian Star.

win the Britons.
The prospects of baseball in England
have wonderfully changed since tine
Prince OF Wales saw what was practi-
cally the first game played IN England
between the Boston and Philadelphia
Athletics just over ecven years ago.
There was one game played i'll 1874,
but nobody understood it, and conse-
nuently it was voted mo good. Both
nf these games were failures as far as
arousing any enthusiasm among the
stolid Britishers was concerned.
The weather was unpropitious, for
the English were accompanied to the
ground by one of their world famous
fogs, and an occasional ghostly figure
fitting to and fro was all that could be
seen, and SO until 1889 the game was
ignored, and cricket held the sway But
today baseball occupies at least lowly
little place among the sports which
have taken the fancy of the modern
Britons. Cycling, golf polo and base
ball are rapidly coming to the front, and
coming there to stay.
There are now over 80 teams in Eng
land, chief among which are the Thes-
plans, Remingtons, Dewars, st. Jacobs
team, the Crystal Palace and Civil Serv-
ice, and there are also Ia teams in Der
by, the cradle Of baseball in England,
and one in each of the towns of Mid
dlesborough, Stockton, Wallsend, Wal
ker and Elswick.
OF these teams the Thespians, Rem
ingtons and Dewars are about the old
est in London, having been founded
about four years ago by resident enthu-
siasts in the game.
But il was band of music hall CO.
medians that kept the game going and
set it on the read to popularity, along
which it is now travelling SO successful
ly. They intended to play the game for
their own amusement at first, and did
so, running the gantlet of ridicule and
jeering which was at first leveled at
them. They were then called "cranks,"
but today crowds of from 5000 to
10000 visit every game played, and the
spectators cheer good hit or a home
run scored by either side exactly as our
crowds do on this side of the water.
This little band Of artists called them
selves the Thespian Baseball club. The
English saw them play, made up their
minds to beat them at their own game
and formed clubs for the purpose. They
were, Of course, surprised at the way
they were licked. but the licking woke
them up to the merits Of the game, and
now it is making wonderful Roadway
in London, in the midlands and the
north and is also spreading to Scotland
and Ireland. The climbs already formed
have senior and junior teams, cham
pionships have been formed and played
for, trophies offered and fought for, I'M
til at last the game has taken a firm
hold of the sporting instincts of the

WAIKIKI HOTEL.

The matter of liquor license and
new hotel for Waikiki is still being
carefully considered by the Govern
ment. The result seems to hinge on
Interpretation of the present law.
The inclination is to issue license
with conditions, if this can be done
without departing from the statute.
The authorities would have not sa-
loon, but hotel with the privilege of
serving liquor to its guests, no liquor
to be taken from the premises and the
place in no way to become a regular
saloon resort. If these stipulations
can be put into the permit it is more
than likely that the proposed hotel
will be a go.

belief. This is to the effect that live
prisoners are fed to sharks. During

General Weyler earned the title of

be supposed that the startling varia-
