MUSIC DID L.
Ministries Failed to Beat
The Stars.
Band Played Coon" Songs at Base
ball Game and Set the Ne
grOes Dancing.

A gay scene was the old baseball
grounds at Makiki yesterday afternoon.
The negro Ministries now at the Or
pheum met the Stars of Honolulu on the
diamond. Society was present in force
and the crowd filed the big lot, and
lined the foul boundaries. The people
came in carriages, on bicycles, on
horses and mules, and afoOt. One small
boy rode a goat TO the grounds but
not home. When excitement was
fiercest, with three ebony-hued singers
on bases and a wild-eyed buck dancer
at the bat. the goat undertook to cross
the diamond.
He survived his trip but minus most
OF his fur and a bit of his tail. His
entry at that critical stage of the game
made Ministries and stars mad, and they
chased his goatship with bats and balls
until some dogs took up the fight. The
last seen of the goat was when he took
the makal fence.
The game was breezy, the crowd not
critical and Fatty" Rogers, the main
feature. He tips a strong scale at about
$50 pounds and Is short. Yesterday he
and Dick Daily were umpires. One time
Rogers was watching the pitchers and
tue batsman, and Daily was in the field.
Then they would trade places.
Fatty" Rogers used foghorn TO an
nounce balls and strikes, and to decide
close points. When he wanted to go
into the field carriage was called.
The Stars had on ice-cream suits with
strawberry trimmings. The Ministries
wore variegated trousers and all kinds
of shirts. Courtesy imDelled the home

The Cat Catch CT.

The dog catcher is not the only per son in the city who Is sincerely hated by both man and animal. There is a cat catcher as well, and he comes in for his full share of antipathy. He makes a living at the business, and a very good one, 1t is said. Few are aware of the fact that pussy's fur Is a very desirable article of commerce. There are any number of dealers in this city who are glad to pay all the way from 50 cents to $1 for a cats skin, according to size and quality. The method of catching the unsuspect- ing cat is particularly mean one. It is we'll established fact that cats are very fond of catnip and will troop after man who carries . bundle of 1t. This greed leads to the undoing of pussy, who will come to stand If a bit of the herb is thIown on the ground and Is thus made an easy prey. A bag and . chloroformed sponge do the rest, and many household pet, the disap- pearance of which caused sorrow, can be accounted for In this way.-Phila- delphla Press.

SUNDAY SOCIAL
CANADIAN DISCRIMINATION.

If it be a fact that the Canadian GUS toms officials at Bennett are discriminating against Skagway shippers in the assess ment and collection Of tariffs. it Is some thing our merchants should not permit ex- cept over their solemn protest. There is no reason why higher tariff should be charged on the same class of goods shipped from Skagway than from points farther south. If merchandise be worth more in Skagway than down on the Sound, that is no reason why the goods from below shipped through to Bennett do not acquire that value when they reach this point.
 Of course. the object Is clear. By cons polling the Skagwav merchants to ad vance their invoices, the Vancouver or Victoria shipper of American goods has a natural advantage oyer the Skagway ship per. For instance, the Vancouver mer- chant buys a SIooo order from an Amer ican producer and pays tariff of say 25 per cent. on that invoice. At the same time the Skagway merchant buys sim liar bill of goods and. transhIps it to Daw- son or Atlln. The Bennett customs col leetor advances his invoice 25 per cent. and compels him to pay duty on $I2so. The difference Is $62. 50 in favor of the Van couver merchant.
 This Is a matter that should be now thoroughly investigated. If it is true, 1t may be advanced as another method Ca nadans have adopted to get trade advan- tages over American merchants and fur nish another argument for reseindlng the bonding privilege gratutously extended by the treasury department.

THE HOSPITAL DOCTOR.
why He Did Not Wait the Patient
 Whs Was Dying.

Hospital doctors were under discus sion. Every man in the party had had hospital experience at some time or another, and each had a good word for his particular doctor when the dis cordant man came In. 'I tell you what 1t is," said he: 'there are some mighty cold blooded men among them. 1 was In one of the big hospitals not long ago, visiting A doctor friend of mine. It was night and there was not much going on. There were four or five doc. tors besides my friend around, and some one suggested a game of poker.
 "We hadn't been playing long when a nurse knocked at the door and said, Doctor, think the patient In No. is dying; won't you come downT Yes, right away said the doctor. I'll draw three cards He filled his hand and played 1t, and he kept right on playing for about 15 minutes, when there came another knock at the door and the nurse said: Really, doctor, that mans condition is very serious. l know he's dying; won't you comeT The doctor bdlu. Itb, yesb Ou, iUSVe. H DO there in just a minute-Pn raise you a quarter, doc
 "Well, he played that hand out and the next one. and then he said he guessed he'd so see the patient The nurse met him half way down the stairs and told him the man was dead. Now, what do you think of that"
 "Well, they get hardened, they see so much suffering" said one of the party apologetically.
 "If he'd gone when he was first call ed, he probably couldn't have done anything to save the mans life." said the second.
 "Yes," said the discordant maI, Out just as & matter of form he might have quit after he filled that first hand"
 He might" assented all the party. "But the man was going to die any. way."-New York Sun.

A QUEER OCCUPATION.
Gathering the Down of Cattails Ii
 the Jersey Meadows.

Gathering the Down of Cattatls In the Jersey MeaAews.
 One of the queerest industries has grown up on the Hackensack meadows, an otherwise apparently useless bog upon which 1t is unsafe for man or beast to venture. In the summer cer- tain parts of the meadows are covered with dense growth of cattails. They grow particularly rank and large. Sometimes the tail, or furry part, Is a foot or more long and thick in propor- ton. The light, furry down Is long and soft, bearing a close resemblance to down when first taken from the stalk.
 Certain people always more or less quick to see the advantages of waste product have begun gathering the seed down from cattails and are making it a considerable business. Just before the ice Is gone in the spring Is the time selected. Provided with large sack In which to store the feathery products, the gatherer goes about among the tall flags, pulls on the down, deposits 1t In his sack and takes 1t home. It Is not a particularly pleasant piece of work, because the little bits of down fly all over one, getting in the eyes, the nose, the mouth and ears, and completely cover ones clothing. But 1t furnishes work, and men and women do it.
 It Is taken from the sack, carefully spread where 1t will dry thoroughly, and 1t is then ready to be used in pill lows or wherever else genuine animal down Is advisable. It doesn't last long, because its f1bers lack elasticity, but for time the pillow will be as soft as any.
 Those who gather it make reasOna- bly fair pay at 1t, though hardly enough when the danger and the disagreeable character of the work are considered New York Commercial Advertiser.
