BRAVE YOUNG CHURCHILL

Winston Churchill, who has been
captured by the Beers, had for his tu-
tor some years ago Rev. DR.. D. Stewart
Moore, now pastor of the South Pres
byterian Church, of Philadelphia, who
says of him: Young Mr.. Churchill in
1883 was about Is years of age, and
was living at Brunswick road, Brighton.
He was an exceedingly bright pupil,
and excelled in the classics and mathe-
mates as we'll, rather a rare faculty.
At 13 he could read the entire New Tes-
in Greek. He studied hard. and
took q great interest in outdoor sports,
playing ON a local football and cricket
team. When [ read of the way in
which he was captured, and of his gall
liant effort TO save his men, | could not
help thinking how the boy is father of
the man. For Mr.. Churchill was just
that sort of a boy when l had the hon
or of teaching him. He was brave and
almost to a fault"

time of the accident but had left in
structions with the mate how 10 keep

mate went to sleep. Chief Engineer
Tillander says the accident occurred
about midnight and that al hands
worked until 4 a. m. to get the Kflo-
hama off But it was no use.
The Inter-Island people say there
was an error in calculation and mis-
placement of lights.

BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
1t is Claimed for Maui by the Uiu-
palakua Club.

ULUPALAKUA, Maui, Dec. S.-Un-
der the heading Thanksgiving Base
BALI in the Gazette of the 9Th inst. [
note the statement that the Ulupala-
kua team was defeated by the Wailuku
nine by score of IS to II.
Permit me, on behalf of the Glupa-
lakuas, to present my views and OBJ
jections to the above score.
That we were beaten we can and
will not admit; for from the 1st to the
9Th inning we maintained the lead aid
it was only through darkness and the
scorers failing to credit us with dis
puted run that We lost.
The Ulupalakuas were first at bat
and the score in the first half of the
ninth inning stood II to IA with Two
men out Then came the point Of dis
pute. There were three men on bases
with two out. The batter sent a
grounder to the pitcher, who, in turn,
threw it to 3rd base causing it to short
bound The Ord baseman fumbled it
and in so doing took his foot off the
base.
The runner on second seeing this
ran up to the baseman and played ID
be touched by the ball, thereby dis
tracing him, SO that instead of touch
| ing his base he attempted 10 tag tbs
runner In the meantime the runner
on third making the home plate.
Seeing the runner from third safely
home, the runner on second allowed
himself to be tagged out. This ran
was not counted. Why? l do not
know; for | know Of no rule stating
why it should not be counted.
That it was too dark in the last in
ming to play ball is plainly shown by
that the game lasted till $50 p. m
This is proof sufficient that the I'M
pire should have called game" accord
| ing to Rule 23 and "a, Baseball Guide
for '96, (Rules played, for every one
knows that it is quite dark this time
of the year at ). go
| In conclusion | would say that we
still claim the championship of Maui
and until it is fairly wrested from liz
| by a clean series of games shall main
| tain same.
We are open to challenge from any
team on Maui U4ahaina inc1uded)

CURED HERSELF OF
TALKING TOO MUCH
A New Jersey Woman Cut Of Her
Tongue and Finds the Remedy
to Be Most Effectual.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-Mrs. Mary
Holly Of Paterson, n. j., always de-
clared her greatest fault was that she
talked too much. She felt that her
loquacity was a serious defect and de-
cided to cut off the offending member.
Having carried out her decision she is
now unable to talk at all, though she
was discharged as cured to-day from a
hospital in Paterson.
Family troubles had made the woman
respondent and one day about a month
ago she told some neighbors the only
way she could think Of to cure herself
of talking too much was by cutting off
her tongue. They found her in her home
several hours afterward unconscious
from loss of blood. She had cut off
an inch and a half of her tongue with
knife. 1t was at first thought she
would die, but careful treatment at the
hospital saved her life. Her abbreviated
tongue, however, refuses to perform its
office and she is unable TO articulate a
single word intelligibly
