In the game yesterday the Jockey
Club team was no match for the West
erns, as they could do nothing with
Bauer's shoots. Bowers pitched his first
game for the Westerns, allowing the
Jockeys to score but one earned run
and but four hits. The Westerns drove
Farrell out of the box in the third in
ming, scoring ten runs.
Then Nevis went in and finished, do
ing good work for his team the rest of
the game. He allowed only five men
to cross the plate, one of which runs
was earned. Cuneo, Daggie Smith and
Nevis played good ball for the Jockeys.
The Westerns never played better

The Folsom "Telegraph' has this to
say: THE Folsom baseball club has
been trying for the past three weeks
to get a game with any amateur ball
club in Sacramento for $50 a side. and
more especially with the Phoenix or
Athletics The Sacramentans want to
play a series Of game for the money,
which would place the Folsom boys at
a great disadvantage.
Part of the scheme is to have the
two best clubs play two games in one
day. The advantage that the Sacra-
mentans would have is that their clubs
have two batteries, and would go into
the second game with fresh men,
whereas the Folsom battery would
have to pitch both games.
Folsom has the best amateur nine
in the county, and has money to bac!:
the assertion. but there must be no
hocus pocus about the game. 1t is very
evident that the Sacramento bali play
ers have cold feet"

Painful for MIR. Kruger.

We cannot but feel a certain ten
der commiseration for President
Kruger. Little more than three
years ago the German Emperor was
his very good friend, and was tele-
graphing his hearty congratulations
upon the failure of the Jameson
Raid. Now he has finally lost the
"fond gazelle" he tended with such
devotion. 1t was bad enough that
the Emperor should have refused to
receive DR.. Leyds, but it must be
sorrows crown OF sorrow to see
him receiving Mr.. Rhodes. With
this historic interview between the
two empire builders vanishes the
last chance of European support, o,
even sympathy, for the out-worr
methods of Pretoria.-St. James

DRY EARTH.

The present unhealthy state of
sanitary conditions in Honolulu has
caused great alarm among the peo-
pie who are daily facing the bills of
doctors or undertakers. The main
cause of the sickness is the bright
full condition of the private sewers
and privies. The following dipping
from a Hongkong paper-from a
city where similar conditions exist
should be of interest to the COM
munity:
In private houses where dry earth
has been used it has invariably been
found to be decided improvement
upon the use of disinfectants. The
earth not only prevents all unpleas-
ant odours from arising from the
bathrooms, but renders the handling
OF the night soil much less obnox-
ious and at the same time transforms
it into valuable and non-danger-
Gus manure which can be used with
perfect safety and freedom from Of
fence to the nostrils of the most de-
licate lady in either the flower or
vegetable garden. To those of our
readers who doubt our assertions
we can only say give the system a
fair trial. 1t has been scoffed at in
it's early days by sanitary authorities
and unbelievers in England fire..
quently, but when once induced to
make trial of the system for them,
selves the verdict has invariably
been in its favour.

An Unfortunate M,sapprehension

A story OF Lord Russell of Killo-
wen, as told by himself, shows how
risky thing it may be, after all, for
prisoner to speak in his own de-
fense. One such, who seemed to be
really making out his innocence, the
lord chief justice, who had missed a
mumbled word, interrupted with the
question, "What did you say-What
was your last sentence?" "Three
months, my lord" said the crest
fallen prisoner pleader. 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the lord chief
justice forgot the admission or re-
membered it only in the prisoners
favor when that particular sentence
had to be passed.-London academy.

THE PAGo PAGo CONTRACT.

The United States Transport Scin-
dia to Be Sent to Samoa to Guard
the Station.
Since the outbreak OF war in Sa-
moa the threatening attitude OF the
natives toward the white population
has given the contractors for the
Pago- Pago coaling station good
deal Of anxiety, Messrs. Healy, Tib-
bits g. Co, whose contract for the
erection OF wharf, coalinE shede,
etc, involves an outlay OF some
100000, were naturally concerned
for the safety Of their men and pro-
perty. The firm has recently chart
cred the British iron ship Cardigan
Castle to take some 1900 tons of ma
terial to Samoa, and forty skilled
mechanics are to be sent to carry
out the work The United States
armed collier Abarenda is to be dis
patched from the East with the
steel piling for the wharf, but as she
cannot arrive at Pago-Pago within
less than month after the contrac-
tors party, there was pleasant pro-
spect of the whole outfit being ex-
posed TO the rsvages Of the Tutuila
natives, who have the reputation OF
being the fercest in the whole
group. Healy, Tibbits g. Co. being
naturally desirous of carrying on
their business in peaceful way
| for war on small scale was not in
cluded in the specifications of their
contrac,-made representations to
washington. Though the Philadel-
phia is at Apia, it is hardly likely
that she could be spared from her
important diplomatic work at this
central port to protect the contrac-
tors at Pago-Pago, some seventy
miles away
However, the news which came
yesterday lifted weight of trouble
from the contractors brows. The
naval authorities have decided te

To pay salaries for secretaries Or
for any work done in the interest of
charity will not meet with response
here, and certainly should never be
tolerated by those who subscribe to
funds applied to charitable pur-
poses. We are told that it is the in
tention of the promoters OF the AS
sociation to pay very comfortable
salary to one or two persons who
are supposed to "run" the thing.
The contributors to charity will
most decidedly object to doing such
thing and prefer the old state of
affairs rather than to assist
somebody looking for soft
snap. The German, British and Am
erican benevolent societies are not
entitled to spend one cent of their
funds except for purposes stated in
their respective charters and by
laws and none can contribute cent
towards the payment of Salaries,
to persons distributing the money
collected for charitable purposes.
The benefit of an organized cha
ritable association will be gained by
merchants and private individuals
who are now daily pestered by "re-
spectacle" beggars. But we cannot
believe that the nuisance will be re-
lieved by making an association of
charity with highly paid officials in
charge. Surely there are men and
women here who will look after an
organized system of distributing
help to those in distress and poverty
without asking for compensation for
their noble work. Very little re-.
spect would be felt for man or
woman who would distribute charity
for a consideration.
