"CIGARETTE AND

Tournament on Board the So
noma Was Won by a
Honolulan.

Among the interesting diversions on
board the Sonoma on her way from san
Francisco to Honolulu was cigarette
and necktie tournament" which took
place on Tuesday, the day before
reaching this port. Three young men
and taree young ladies participated IN
this event, the winner being B. K. BAIRD
Of Honolulu, the son of the Unite1
States District Attorney. Two chalk
lines were made on the hurricane deck
thirty feet apart The young men toed
one line while the three ladies toed the
other, a rope being drawn above to pre-
vent them from overstepping it, Each
Young man held a cigarette In MS
mouth. while their fOur-in-ha scarfs
were united At given signal the men
ran down the deck and met the young
ladies. Thon came the excitement. Ac-
cording TO the rules the young LADIES'
had to Tic The scarfs, strike matches and
light the cigarettes. Some attempted
TO do both at the same time, and there
were many funny incidents connected
with the scratching of the matches.
After the scarfs were properly tied and
the cigarettes supplied with fire, the
young men raced back to their line,
with Baird in the lead winner to
the extent of $3.50.

The Bar Association of Honolulu made
the mistake of supposing that a judge

pointed by President MCKINLEY, except
on grave proven charges. much graver
than those made or sustained against
Humphreys. The Attorney General, no
doubt, had his own opinion regarding
the fitness Of Humphreys, but he could
not recommend his removal merely be-
cause he was bumptious, conceited, vim

| e HE ADVERTISER has referred,
| { without particulars. to the marked
change of sentiment among the
highest officials at Washington towards
Judge Humphreys. which has come
about since his vindicatioz- -by-def;tult.
Some three weeks after Judge Humph-
reys left Washington for hon'e, circum-
stances arose which led the Attorney
General to read the voluminous charges
of the Bar Association. He had not
done so before because Of the absence
of the usual and indispensable brief.
The Attorney General, having NJ time
then to read thick volun2e OF undi-
gested testimony, and finding in the
answer to Judge Humphreys pleadings
concessions in favor of the accused
which the Associated Press described
as fatal to the prosecution, had no
choice but to decide the case as pre-
pared in due professional form by the
defendant. Afterward when it becanIa
plain that Judge HUMPHREYS defense
was a tissue of misstatements ard half
truths, and when a mass OF rarlured
affidavits were set before Mr.. Knox,
claiming that Iwilei, which had been
closed in June. was open and running
as late as September 17th, taa adminis-
tration began to see a light. Investl-
cation followed with results wholly pref
judicial to Judge Humphreys. II IS ow-
ing to these and other facts, that the
washington Star, a recognized organ
OF the administration. devoted its lead
ing article IN the issue of November
3Jth to n denuncia ton of the First Cir
cult Judge and to the intimatlon that
Attorney-GeneralK Knox IS now convinc-
ed that Humphreys 'Ts utterly unfit for,

TIE WEATHER AND CROP CONDI-
TONS IN NEW ENGLAND.
Compiled by the United states DEPART
ment of Agricuiture-The Weather
Bureau for Week Ending May 20.

Boston, Mass, May 21.-The weather
has been generally very favorable for
crops and all farm work. 1t was fair
and generally clear with seasonable
temperatures until the 18th, since when
there has been much cloudiness and
rain, delaying work. The heavy rain
fall Of tht 18th, 10Th and Goth, soaked
the ground, and while come correspon-
dents state that 1t was beneficial to the
crops, the greater portion report that 1t
will further delay work on ground
which was already too wet.
Temperature-The temperature con-
tinues cool on the coast, owing to pre-
vailing easterly winds, but over the
greater portion of the section the tenn
perature has been seasonable, with
warm and pleasant days. Some cores
pondents in parts of New Hampshire
and western Massachusetts report that
frost occurred on the morning of the
10th, but caused no damage. The mean
Temperature for the week, entire dis
trict was SO degrees, being one degree
lower than the mean for last week, and
four degrees below the mean for the
weekly mean at the weather bureau

81; Northfield VT, 81; Boston, So; Nam
tucket, 81: Albany, So.
Rainfall.-The rainfall of the week
has been confined to the last three days,
and was heavy In nearly all parts of
the section on the 18th, 10th and 10th.
The average for the week was Its inch
es, .73 of an inch greater than last week.
Except in extreme eastern Maine, where
PASSPORT reported but 20 inch, the rain
fall has exceeded one inch, and many
stations report over two inches having
fallen since the 18th,
CONDITION OF CROPS.
The great amount of sunshine during
the week has caused rapid growth Of
vegetation and all crops. Flowing is
nearly completed, except on low land,
on which work will be still further de-
layed by the heavy rain of the last of
the week. Low ground continues to be
too wet to work, and there is general
complaint of the ground continuing cold
Sowing has been nearly completed, but
the ground remains too wet and cold for
planting many crops. Some correspon-
dents state the season to be ahead OF
the average, and others, that it is back
ward, but at this time over the greater
portion Of the district it would probably
average near normal in most respects.
Grain.-Nearly all grain has been
sowrl. Oats and rye are looking we'll,
II and III Connecticut rye is heading.
Some correspondents report that no
corn has been planted, and others that
the planting of that grain is completed,
but nearly all report that the ground
continues too wet and cold for corn.
Grass.-Grass continues to be in the
finest condition. 1t has grown rapldly
