French View of It.

Paris. June 1.-THE Temps. referring
to the annexation of Hawaii by the
United States, says:
I'VE regard the annexation of Ha-

relegate to obscurity the dangerous.

Kinley evidently imagines that in
throwing to the Chauvinists this bone
to pick, he will procure a momentary
respite. The calculation. too, is proba-
bly, erroneous, because nothing. will so

Pan-Americanism and whet the appe-

would be controlled somewhat by the in

consider the treaty at the present session.

THE MARRIED MEN WIN.
Bachelors of z. C. NJ. I. Defeated in
An Exciting Game

The bachelors of q. C. M. l. are dis
consulate and they no longer make the
air weary with boastings as to their
prowess in the matter of ball tossing.
Yesterday they met the married men
of the institution at Agricultural park,
and when the heated struggle was
over they were conscious of the in
glorious and ignOminiOus score OF II 90
r. in favor of the men VINO enjoy the
delights of the conjugal life.
The game did not begin until o'clock
and so it was decided that only i've in
nings should be played, in order that
the gloom of night might not envelope
the sphere before the glory and laureis
CT victory had settled upon one of the
mines. At the end of the fifth, the puts
SAINT married men had accumulated L
runs, while only nine marks glmmered
on the score of the bachelors The IN
married men begged vociferouslv ior
one more inning. The umpire, who is
also unmarried and a DISTINGUISHED
trustee of beauty, joined in the tu-
multuous demand for one more trial
for the bachelors. The married nine
are genial men and generous, and they
consented to one last chance for -He
youths. who had the double misfortune
to be devoid of wives and the abilitT
to play baseball. The youths plunged
wildly at the ball and their swipes at
the fleeing sphere were more exciting
than a Bengal tiger hunt but at the
end of the inning they had only gath
cred in two runs. and amid the clap
ping and plaudits of the married woln-
en- on the grand stand, they retired
slowly and sadly from the field.
John Nicholson did the duties of UNI
pire, and went through many grace
full contortions in escaping the fleeing
sphere. His decisions were more fair
rnan the married men had expected.
but they accused him of overlooking a
conspiracy between W. G.. Patrick and
the pitcher of the opposing team. Mr..
Patrick is very portly of form, and sit
ting beneath the luscious shade of a
tell sycamore tree is much more to his
taste than the exertion of making wild
plunges at the sphere. Each time The
ball came towards him, he cut the air
with terrific ferocity, but the ball al
ways eluded the willow by large and
safe margin. After tanning the air
twice in the last inning. Patrick
walked calmly up TO the pitchers box
and held a hurried consultation in low
and suDdued tones. The next ball that
came to him advanced with slow, IN
dulaTing movement, and Patrick, with
mighty effort, sent it far away into
the distant foliage.
The married men claimed a conspir-
acy and objected vociferously to the
umpire, and nothing but the we'll
known personal beauty of Mr.. Nichol-
son saved him from an attack. when
he obdurately maintained that the
bachelor had made his home-run
