2nd. BY helping to save the young
men. And this is the most important
object. A few short year, and all
positions of trust and responsibility
must be filled by the young men of
today. Upon their training now de
ponds not only their future business
and social success, bat also their moral
and spiritual influence, so that every
dollar expended to elevate young men
is money well invested. The knOwl-
edge that some other man was inter
ested i'm him and his souls welfare has
saved many a man from ruin. Young
men will naturally seek each others
society. and if their associations tOgeth-
er are of an eleyating tendency, their
influence will be exerted for good,
while on the other hand if left to them
selves without the best of influences,
the downward road is easy to travel.
Right here some one may assert that
home is the place for these influences
to be exerted, and -1 30 is. And the

parents is blessed niea. but all

Ready to go to South Africa--Caua-
dams at Belmont.

OTTAWA, December 1.-THE mar
tial spirit predominant amongst Canu-
dams Is evident from the fact that f.
fers of service are again beginning to
pour i'm to the militia department. Moth
ing can be done by the government in
the way of equipping a second contin-
gent until the Imperial authorities are
heard from, but public opinion heca Is
practically unanimous that the gOVe1l-
ment would be doing patriotic service
if it were to remind the British author
tiles that Canada is ready and wiling
to once more demonstrate her loyalty,
If this had been done early in tie
week it could not then have been said
as a reprOaCh that Australia had again
led the way. If another force is sent
from Canada it is generally believed it
will consist of Mounted Police and Field
Artillery.
Up to the close of office hours ut the
militia department no word had been
received from Col. Otter nor had His
ENcelency any information from ihe
home government.
A communication was received from
the war office today i'm reference to the
supply of ribbon for the general ser
vice medal, to the effect that 1922 yards
will be sent from London tomorrow. s"
that in about a fortnight the distCbu-
ton Of medals may commence.
Gen. Hutton received telegram from
Col. Otter tonight, announcing me
death of Chappell. The telegram is
dated Belmont today, and shows tlat
the Canadian contingent is still there.

PLAGUE SCARE ON HAWAII
ISLANDERS TOOK THE MATTER
PHILOSOPHICALLY.
Committees Appointed and Towns
Cleaned and Decentralization and
Kauai Obeyed Local Board.

Hilo and the Island of Hawaii took
radical action in cleaning and dealing
with the black plague scare. AT HilO
there were two public meetings at
which a citizens sanitary committee
was organized and went to work on al
most the lines of the Board of Health
here. The town was districted and
cleaned as it had not been for years. AS
in Honolulu all sorts of rumors We're
floating about, but nobody died of
fright before the arrival of the Kinau
last Wednesday evening, dispelling all
alarm.
At the last meeting of the sanitary
committee, held Wednesday night, it
was decided to use CocOanut Island as
a quarantine station. Sanitary inspec-
tors had been appointed for all of the
plantation towns and work at all of
them was carried out much as at Htlo.
When the Kinau arrived she was
boarded by a committee of three and
her papers examined. AS everything
was clean, and there was no Asiatlc
freight on board. the steamer was al
lowed to discharge and depart in the
| regular way.
on Maui and Kauai the situation was
practically the same. On the latter
island a quarantine was established at
all ports. under the direction of Sheriff
Coney. The schooner Blanche and Ell
la, which slipped out of Honolulu de-
spite the quarantine, met. a reception

police forbade her touching at any point
on the island and ordered her back 20

Only last week we examined the beef
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
Of beer is most beneficial in it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases of
debilitation, and they can safely order
his beer, made by the Capital Brewing
company.
L. H. Dee has in his keeping the
american Journal of Health and can

This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of

bortment of the very best of American
and foreign liquors We are pleased to
sell you and give you value for the
Nnefit of your health.

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SWERED.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to ne reliable, and for
coughs, coles and Group there is nothing
equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

Lattimer tried to stretch it to a triple,
and was thrown out at third. Niles
ended the agony by flying out to Far

two-bagger, which cleared the BASES.
He made a daring steal of third. and
scored on Miller's long fly TO Dobbs.
The score stood to 2 against Wheel
ing.
Aided by loose fielding on the part of
the home players, the visitors added
three more in the seventh Miller hit
TO Donovan, whose throw took Kihm
off his bag. Cargo sacrificed. Crabell
put two strikes on Wadsworth, but the
third one was caught on the end of the

dent Howells invitation, but to attend
the opening game was quite another
thing, don't you know. The Directors
of the old Springfield club also failed
to show up.
Notwithstanding these disappoint-
ments the crowd was satisfactory
whether cor.idered from standpoint
of quantity Or quality.
Congressman Blackburn Barrett Dow
ener and Mayor Andrew T. Sweeney
were conspicuous figures in one OF the
carriages. The Wheeling and New
Castle players also put on swell front,
and rode in landaus. The Opera House
band fed the procession and rendered
spirited airs while proceeding over the
line of march.
When the band reached the Register
office, after returning from over the
creek, the storm which had been gath

rents. 1t was accompanied by low
thunder and occasional flashes of light

to starting the ball a-rolling.

been forced to second, tried TO advance

when Wheeling sent a pair of runners

in first-class condition. The sun peep

rays dried up the moisture, and the at
mosphere was cleared and cooled.
The storm and the street railway
strike might have been regarded as
very discouraging factors, but they had
no appreciate effect upon the attend
ance. The few wagons running to the
ball park were crowded, and more than
half of those who attended were COM
PEELED to walk. The situation may be
summed up in verse, in these words OF
a Western poet:

ball down after a hard run. thereby
destroying Wheeling's chance to tie or

Wheeling was compelled to play a
rather patched-up team against New
Castle. Donovan was short-stop, and
as might have been expected of an out
fielder, made several errors. The team
will be stronger to-day. The visitors
were full of ginger, and put up fast,
snappy article of ball. The work of
the out-fielders was remarkable, the
pick-ups clean, and the throwing ac-
curate. To-day, perhaps, there will be
a different tale to tell. The score:

They're off!
The Interstate base ball season OF
1899 was opened yesterday, and opened
most auspiciously. The other Fellows
won. but the superstitiously inclined
found solace for their wounded feelings
in the popular belief that a bad start
makes a good ending.
It would be unsportmanlike to make
excuses for an honest defeat. but IN
this instance it is fair to state That
the local club did not present its strong
est front.
Contrary to expectations, the New
Castle club was not accompanied. by
members of its Board OF directors.

snicuous by his absence. Charley Is

he is not a good fellow to tie to. 1t
