Drinkwater, Drinkwater? Why, Aus
tin of course. But you ought to see
the side door swings they've got in
that town. Now, this is no temperance
lecture-not bit-and you should have
seen the drops as they fell from Char
ley Weber's strong right arm-no cam
phor drops or gum drops, but the real
thing-Bronchorian drops. You may
call them Knockout drops if you want
to, for they made the Senators of Aus
tin sick. Now let's drop it.
Drinkwater. Here's the young man
in whom. the Senators have unbounded
faith, and they aver that with a few
more like him Weikart's men would
be at the top. OF all that is said and
claimed for Drinkwater by the good
people of Austin, 1t must be admitted
that he is no SLOUGH in the art of
pitching. He has excellent control, ebig
curves, and good speed, and most i'm
portant, a good head. Drinkwater has
pitched some of Austin's best games,
and it is a well known fact that the
Senators were the contesting team in
more close and exciting games than
any team in the league this season.
This pitcher has been a puzzle for all
teams except O'Connor's men. 1t sell
dom fails that when proclaimed phe-
nomenon goes against the Bronchos he
is knocked out. 1t is the pitcher that
every other team has no trouble with
that the Bronchos fail to find at the
right time.
oh, but that was a sick crowd that
left the Austin ball park yesterday.
Yes, there were few of us on hand,
but we were not in the crowd. There
were probably about 800 Austinites
and 100 San Antonians. The game
opened with a mighty shout from the
Austin department, and occasionally a
| lonely San Antonian would let out a
scream which sounded like tin whis-
| tie to Beck's band during business
| hours.
1t didn't look bit cheerful for San
Antonio. Charley Weber, who has
been mysteriously dubbed as 'The
| Connt," possibly on account of the
| Teutonic cognomen he wears, was
| picked for the mark. The Austin
crowd tried to ''hurrah" him. but what
ever wrong he. has inflicted on Austin
no one knows. They only did 1T to be
"hurrahing;" that's all. They said he
was no count. Whether count or no
count, he made that gang of Senators
looks as wise as some of those reform
ers that go to the big granite state
building to draw their breath. Now
that's foolish. But that's just the way
the Senators looked.
Any way, the game opened with Aus

A JOLLY AFFAIR.

John Schuh's garden on Josephine
street was illuminated brilliantly and
resounded with musical notes through
out all of last evening and part of this
morning, owing to the fact that that
jolly society of singers, the Frohsinn
Maennerchor was holding forth there
with an MISUNDERSTANDING. The eve
nings program embraced several fine
choruses and comic sour herring
party, the whole concluding with a
grand ball. The affair was a delight
full one, thoroughly enjoyed by the
large number of persons in atten-
dance and reflected credit on the
amusement committee and officers Of
the society.

Peculiar Case of Carmine Lepre, n
New York BOOtblack.
NEW YORK. June 1.-THE bite of a
mosquito was the cause of man being
sent to the insane pavilion at Bellevue
Hospital today.
Carmine Lepre, a bootblack, forty-two
years old, few days ago was bitten on
the hand by a mosquito. He scratched 1t
until it bled. A few hours after the hand
began to swell and continued to do so I'M
til it was almost twice its natural size.
The swelling extended to the arm, and
there were red streaks under the skin.
The hand and arm were rubbed with ltni-
ment, but the swelling did not abate. Le-
pre- began to experience excruciating pains
in his hand and arm and the swelling
extended to his breast.
Then a physician was called in, and it
was found that Lepre was suffering from
blood poisoning. The doctor said that an
operation would be necessary and that
probably the arm would have to be am
putated. 1t was arranged that the hand
and arm would be cut open today.
Last evening Lepre took to his bed and
began to act irrationally. He was trans
ferred to Bellevue Hospital
This Is perhaps the first case on record
where a person was rendered insane from
the bite Of a mosquito.

IMPORTANCE OF HAWAII.

Position, Arcn and POpula ton.

The known History md Commercial
Position, Aren and POpula ton.
From the New York Times
The Hawaiian Islands, or as they are
more popularity known, the Sandwich Is
lands. according to the name given them
on their discovery by Capt. Cook in ITS.
are the most important Polynesian group
in the North Pacific. They were named
after the Earl of Sandwich, who was first
lord Of the admiralty at the time of their
discovery. Capt. Cook estimated the popu-
lation to be 100000, and American mission
aries placed 1t in 1923 at $4,000.
The Hawaiian Islands are thirteen in
number, eight being inhabited. They are
of coral and volcanic formation.
AS they are the route between the
United States, South America, China and
Australasia, they are in the center of Cen
trail Pacific trade. Honolulu, on the Island
of Oahu, is about 2, 100 miles from San
Francisco. which is only few hundred
miles less than the distance from the most
western point Of Ireland to New York.
From Honolulu to Auckland, New Zealand,
is $50 miles; to Yokohama, 3,44O; to Hong
kong, 1888.
The first Hawaiian annexation treaty
was signed in the spring of 1893. during the
last hours of President Harrisons admin
istration. Later it was withdrawn from
the Senate and pigeonholed. ~
The revenue of the government in 1850
was little over half million Of dollars,
derived chiefly from customs duties, taxes
on real and personal property, and poll
tax But the receipts do not balance the
expenditures, and there has been grow
ing national debt, which now amounts to
considerably over 2,OO0,Uo.
The financial statistics published at the
close Of 1886 make rather better SNOW :
ing than those of previous years, being as
follows.
