They Will Be Very Busy, but May Not Ac-
complish Much Good.
The public murmured approval when
the baseball magnates at their recent
meeting decided to appoint 3 staff of
umpire inspectors to take note of the
conduct of unpires and make reports
upon the same. But it is doubtful if
much good will come of the scheme.
In theory it is beautiful and probably
in practice it will do no special harm.
However, the itinerant inspector will
discover that the field is well occupied.
For years past there has been an in
spector in the grand stand of every ball
ground in the League. He has invaria
bly, been an official Of thea one club,
and he has made it his business to see
that the rules were enforced in man.
ner not to interfere with the chances of
the home team Mr.. Young has been
promptly notified of all mistakes Of UNI
pires. and the inspectors have never
hesitated to demand the instant release
of an umpire SO incompetent as not to
know that the Inspectors team should
have the benefit of all decisions, close
or otherwise. 1t is quite evident that
when the travelling inspectors clash
with the local supervisors, assorted
trouble is sure to ensue, and that the
club official will come out on top. The
experiment will prove interesting.
Men like Emslie, Lynch, Sheridan
and Hurst will enforce the rules whether
there be 40 inspectors or none at all,
but some others would cater to the home
crowd no matter how many inspectors
were present. Not possessing any great
amount of courage, and believing that
personal safety and tenure of Office de-
pend on the good will of the home club,
they will continue to mete out injustice
so long as they are in Office.
Could President Young secure four
more umpires like the quartet named
above, the problem would be solved,
but just so long as he is compelled to
depend on weak kneed men there will
be recurrence of the troubles Of the
past.
An umpire with flexible spine is
marked for destruction. The players,
knowing his weakness, bulldoze him
from the start, and in this they are sus-
tanned by the club officials, who are
generally willing to accept advantages
derived from unjust decisions. New

WAITED Up AL NIGHT.
HONOKAA RESIDENTS ANXIOUS
TO SECURE HOMESTEADS.
A Letter to the Hilo Herald-People
Remained in Line to Secure Loca-
tions-Hamakua District and Coffee.

Mr.. T. litor:-Honokaa homesteads
seem to be in great demand, every
thing from all appearance and the
number of people who are ready to
take them up and willing to sit up all
night proves that land here is out of
sight. One case in particular was
drawn to the attention of your cores
pondent, where large, fat man
seemed to think he has a mortgage
on this earth.
He started in to buldoze No. 2, who
was second on the grounds, then when
his work was too coarse on No. 2 he
offered a large bride to the man who
was paid to hold down Chair No. 1
This large fat man, who was not like
the father of his country, George
Washington, who could not tell lie
went to the man who was sitting Oh
No. chair, and said, My friend, your
employer has just told me to tell you
to give me that chair. But the man
on the No. Chair, though the stake
was high, was true to his colors and
the man who had employed him.
1t was indeed funny sight to see
these parties sitting up all night il
the cold so as to be the first in line tC
get lands on which to grow coffee
There were a good many other queer
incidents of this homestead business
and practical jokes, upon those who
sat up all night were many. One young
man of uncertain age with a soft anC
silky beard brought to his friends
who had watched the moon grow cold
for breakfast the next morning,
hard tack with coffee bean stucl
to it. and this motto written in rec
ink on the tack God Bless Our COT
fee" From all that has taken plac'
Ionokaa bids fair to be the "banne
coffee district of Hawaii.
All sugar mills are now grindin!
and the warehouses are full of sugar
but on account of rough weather it :
impossible to make landings and tax
away the sugar.
Everything looks prosperous her
for good year for everybody in Ha

A NegritO Marriage.

When two Negritos, people of the
Philippine islands, are united, the whole
tribe is assembled, and the affianced pair
climb two trees growing near each other
The elders then bend the branches until
the heads of the couple meet. When the
heads have thus come into contact, the
marriage is legally accomplished and great
rejoicings take place, fantastic dance
completing the ceremony.
