While the frst-class passengers were
disposing themselves in their state
rooms on the Kinau yesterday shortly
before the steamer sailed at noon a
hard fought battle was going on be-
tween decks in the space usually oc-
cupied by deck passengers, or those
who pay nominal fare and have the
privilege of making themselves com
Portable on the floor. Just before sail
ing time the usual motley crowd of Ha-
waiians. Japanese and Chinese had
mapped out their respective areas, their
numbers being augmented by several
negroes off for Spreckelsville A few
of the sailors of the ship who were de-
cidedly the worse for liquor came into
the quarters and became abusive tow
ard the deck passengers. They cleared
a way for themselves by throwing the
living freight right and left The Chi
1ese and Japanese submitted but when
the natives reached the colored con-
-ingent they met with a rebuff totally
unexpected. One negro showed fight
and he was promptly jumped on by
half dozen Of the brawny native sea-
men. He was the under dog In the |
light until some Of his race came to |
lis assistance. Then the tables were
urned. The negro let fly his fists in a |
manner Indicative of fine training in |
he manly art of self defense and the |
iawaiians were knocked right and left.
While the fight lasted it was furious

SPENCER

"A large delegation of North Brook
field young people attended the dance
held in Mechanics Hall Saturday night
under the management of the Cater
ers' Club of Spencer. The manager
had promised the patrons that ar
rangements would be made with the
Warren & Brookfield Street Railway
Company to have a special car run
to North Brookf1eld after the dance.
When the nights entertainment was
over the North Brookfield people were
surprised to find there was no car
waiting to convey them home. 1t is
needless to say the young people were
indignant and some hard things were
said about the manager of the nights
entertainment. The manager says the
slipup is no fault of his, as Supt. Jefts
of the Brookfield & Warren road con-
sented to run a special car for the
convenience of the dancers.

MODEL FOLDERS
Literary Gems Published by the
New York Central Passenger
Department - These Folders
Are Very Valuable

Model timetable folders, which are
superior to any timetable folders ever
printed, have been issued by the New
York CentraPs passenger department.
They are Numbers "29'' and "30'' of the
famous "Four-Track Series" and both
are literary gems and compendiums of
railway travel General Passenger
Agent George H. Daniels has incorpo-
rated various suggestions made by
bright people, and he has tried to in
clude in these folders all that could rea-
sonably be put into such books.
One Of the prominent features is a
picture of the new Albany Station
which was opened for business Janu-
airy, 1st 1901. This is said to be the
beginning of the goth century, and
markes an era in the history of the
New York Central Lines. The more
important terminals of the lines are
described and the timetables include
every passenger train run on the Cen
trail and its various branches. One page
is devoted to mileage books, another to
Pullman car rates and definition of
Pullman car terms. A revised and
perfected statement in regard to the
New York Central lines is given, with
an object lesson that cannot help but
impress every person that looks at it,
Portraits Of the Centrars steamship
men and information in regard to the
cab service fill another page. The map
is the same as has been used for some
time. Four pages are confined to the
Pan-American Exposition, and Mr..
Daniels promises to run these pages
until the Exposition closes. Niagara
Falls, New York City England's great
railways, express and ocean service and
many other points and matters are
Interestingly produced.
These folders are worth a prominent
position in every library, and on every
business mans desk.-From the Buffalo

First Parish Unitarian Church
of South birmingham Starts
Third Century of Its Existence
More Prosperous Than Ever
INTERESTING EXERCISES
WERE HELD YESTERDAY
Al the Principal Service in the Af-
ternoon Rev. Edward Everett
Hale D. D. and Hon. George F.
Hoar Spoke on Relation OF
Church to the State

South birmingham, Oct. 1S-The
First Parish Unitarian Church of this
place observed the 2O0th anniversary
of it's organization and ordination of
it's first pastor, Rev. John Swift, today.
At the principal service in the after
noon, Rev, Edward Everett Hale, D. D.,
of Boston, and Hon. George Frisbie
Hoar of Worcester, spoke upon the
relation of the church to the state.
Rev. Horatio Stebbins of California
also gave an historical address.
Rev. Dr. Hale said it was impossible
to go back in New England history
without acquiring knowledge of the
state and of the church. The men who
go to meeting Sunday are those who
go to the polls Monday. The men who
manage the church are the men who
manage the state. New England is and
always will be the great democratic
region of God.
He advocated closer communion be-
tween the church and the people at
large.
Senator Hoar said he held it duty
to be constant at meeting.
He spoke of the organization of both
town and parish by our ancestors
when they first came over, and said
that this parish, so old, has turned out
to be one of the most powerful forces
in New England history. The public
has come along gradually to the civil
and religious liberty which the pill
grims brought with them.
Referring to the early laying out of
training fields near churches, he said
that the real training was done in the
churches, and the real drill masters
the simple old New England clergy
men who taught the boys faith, cour-
age, heroism, love and liberty.
The old towns of Massachusetts are
fast losing their characteristics be-
fore the effects of manufacturing and
the gathering of population.
Senator Hoar spoke of the influence
upon Massachusetts and the individual
churches if every one should stay
away from church and the churches
should be closed in consequence. Many
he said preferred to go into the fields
for a walk. or on bicycle. Which
would do them the most good he
thought, would depend on whether
they thought most of their legs or their
souls.
He spoke strongly against the endea-
vor to secure the repeal of certain
Sunday laws by the Legislature.
