A Truck Garden.

Byron o. Clark came up from his
place on the Peninsula yesterday,
bringing with him several crates of the
finest home grown tomatoes that have
been on sale in Honolulu for many a
day. He is having good success on the
Peninsula although he has found the
various insect pests quite a drawback.
He would have been able to furnish the
market with mushmelons by now if it
had not been for the insect pests.

Bennington and KamGhanGha to
Play Baseball.
GAME ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON
VIII Try for Good Exhibition and
Wish a Big Crowd-Sailors Have
Sent $500 Already.

The men of the U. S. S. Bennington
have now on hand a most worthy
scheme-that of a baseball game be-
tween teams from the gunboat and the
Kamehameha School boys for the 2ur-
pose of raising money to swell the
Maine fund for the support of the fam
lilies of those of Uncle Sans brave
sons killed in the recent awful disas-
| ter.
For three weeks or more, the Ben
nington team has been practicing dill
gently to render itself capable of put
ting up a good game. Pitted against
the players of Kamehameha School,
they will work hard for the game as
well as for the purpose of giving their
spectators as much enjoyment as it is
in their power to give.
The Bennington men have the love
of their brother tars at heart as is evi-
denced by the fact that, by recent
mail, there went forth to the proper
quarters in the States, the sum of 5000
for the Maine fund. The men would
have raised more but were told that
dollar from each man was all that
would be received.
Now comes the baseball game for
Thursday afternoon. The regular ad-
mission fee of 25 cents will be charged.
It was not deemed proper to raise the
admission fee.
Ensign GLEN is in charge of the
Bennington boys and w. J. DucOtey is
their captain. The Kamehameha boys
have Makanani as their captain.
There has been talk here ever since
the loss of the Maine of a benefit for a
fund to the families of the men who
lost their lives under the Stars and
Stripes. The plan was frowned upon
from certain quarters and the ones
who were expected to go ahead became
so timid that the project was dropped.
Miss Elsie Adair proposed at one
time to give show with the assistance
of city and Bennington talent and to
donate the whole of the proceeds to the
Maine fund. The young actress is an
American and was very enthusiastic
over the matter, but on account of i'll
ness was compelled to abandon the
project.
Now that the men of the Bennington |
have taken hold of the enterprise it is |
certain to be a big success. There is |
plenty of sympathy here for the main |
object. The Bennington men have |
made Honolulu friends who will coop !
crate with them and this is town in
which any naval affair is bound to be a |
success on account OF both business |
and social considerations. A day other |
than Saturday has never been cOnsid- |
cred very good for an afternoon enter |
tainment, but both the Bennington |
men and the Kamehameha students |
hope that an exception will be made in |
this case and that the attendance will |
be large. The Kamehameha team has |
been in training ever since the series |
of games early in the spring with the |
Punahou nine and will now do good |
work on the diamond.
A number of prominent citizens to
whom the benefit ball game was men |
toned yesterday promised it full sup
port.

CIVIL SERVICE.
REPORT OF COMMISSION PRE-
SCENTED TO PRESIDENT.
The Law Has Proved an Effective
Force in the Direction OF
Economy.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.-The annual
report of the Civil Service Commission
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1897,
has been presented to the President. 1t
begins with a statement to show that
after an experience Of nearly fifteen
wears the hopes of the advocates of the
civil service law have been largely
realized. In practice, the law has
proved to be a constantly exerted and
effective force in the direction Of econ
omy.
Considering the few changes in the
service under the merit system and the
wholesale removals under the patron
age system, the economy and efficacy
Of the one stand in striking contrast to
the extravaganza and inefficiency Of
the other.
Since 1888 dhe year Of the organiza-
ton Of the Commission) the unclassi-
fled positions which have been subject
to political control have increased in
number 81 per cent. and in cost 43 per
cent. while the classified positions sub
ject to examinations have remained az
a standstill. The large extension Of
civil service rules in May, 1896, to in
clude positions hitherto unclassified,
the report says. brought to light a
number of unnecessary positions Quite
a number of these have been abolished
as measure of economy.
The whole number of persons exam
ined during the year was 40, 145, of
whom %, 500 passed. The number of ap-
pointmcnts were 4,136. The Commits
sion. the report says. has been steadily
making its examinations more practi-
cal. Numerous complaints have been
made of violation of the rules of the
civil service in the Treasury Depart
ment. the Department of Justice and
the Interior Department. In each case
examinations have been made by rep,
resentatives of the Commission and
such cases as appeared to be violations
of. the law were referred to the de-
partment to which they belonged in
each case the Commission has not yet
received a reply.
The report speaks highly of the pro-
motion system based on the efficiency
record. This has been especially in
dorsed by the Navy Department in the
work in the yards. On the other hand,
the Commission deprecates the propo-
sition of limited tenure of Government
office, pointing out that it would not
only impair the efficacy of the service,
but open the door for political infiu-
encas.

Quigg responded that this resolution
would put the House in complete pos
session of the facts. There was no
effort on the part of the minority to
test the order of the previous qeustion,

Among the district measures acted
upon favorably was one to investigate

 Tax for '96
 or '97.

 This fact was disclosed by dep osirion given by County Clerk Elan ders and was made by a comparison of the poll-books with the tax-books. The facts can best be told by pub fishing the County Clerk $ deposition. Upon direct examination he deposed as follows:

 Answer. F. F. Flanders. County and Probate Clerk.
 Q, Have you recently inspected the record of voters of Jefferson County Arkansas, which is by law required to be made and kept in Jefferson County. Arkansas b4 the officials of said county charged with that duty?
 X. Yes.
 Q Have you examined and in- spected such records as to the voters of Bolivar township in said County.
 A. Yes
 Q will ask you if the record as to Bolivar township shows that.
