the Men.

Russell r. Gardner, manufacturer
of st. Louis, worth $25O,O00, made his
employees handsome cash Christmas

earn enough money by the time he is

mulated. He built his fortune in IA
years and says that money-making Il

Went Down.

By Associated Press.
New York. Jan. 19.--The stock mar
ket was excited and nervous through
out the short session today and under
varying fortunes the speculative con-
test waged between the bulls and
bears. The bulls made a determined
stand early, boldly supporting the
weak spots by liberal buying orders,
and causing a sharp advance in the
special stocks which had a sustaining
influence on the general market.
The market closed active and semi
demoralized with prices for the most
part at the lowest. 1t was admitted
that the serious ill-health Of Queen
Victoria caused uneasiness aIs to posi-
bile bad effects on foreign securities
which might be reflected here. This
Bears also circulated reports that were
afterward shown grounaless, thai
President Mckinley had relapse with
the grippe.
The stock market felt the sympa-
thetc effect of the violent fluctuatior
in steel stocks, but the uneasiness over
the iron and steel trade outlook, as tbs
barometer OF general business condi.
tionE, has been even more effective or

A moderate sized crowd sweltered at
Makiki during the progress of the con-
Guiding game of the baseball league Sc
ries. The temperature was exasperat-
sunk into insignificance when compar-
ed with the agony of the game. There
may have been moderate exhibitions
Of baseball during the present but Sat
urday's game was beyond a shadow of
doubt superlatively bad.
On paper the Camp Mckinley contin-
gent looke|i to be good thing. They
feated the Police, and held down the
champions to a surprisingly low score.
On these lines they looked to have a
mortgage on their last engagement.
They surprised themselves, however,
by the mediocre showing they made on
Saturday and retired to headquarters to
report signal defeat by the over
WEBBING score of Is to I.
1t is true that Bullock, one of their
best men. was unable to play on ac-
count of an engagement with the hos
pital surgeon, but even without his ca
PLANTATION for their disastrous collapse.
Burbank behind the bat was an igno-
minious failure; the job was new to
him, but a speedy runner could easily
have negotiated two bases while he
was retrieving the ball. Bennett and
Deisenroth were also shiftIess in their
work, and Hawkins. whose play as a
rule is uniformly errorIess, seemed to
no cllff rlaif ysrbi cb
caused him to continually decorate
that portion of the arena where the
sphere was not.
The military ennui, however did not
din to any great extent the lustre of
the club-swingers victory. They played
for all they were worth and deserved to
win. To JOY belongs the lions share of
the credit His pitching was of the
phenomenal order. He struck out three
men with fourteen successive balls
first base. With the stick, Parker and
Jackson distinguished themselves.
Boyle, for the soldiers, had his efforts
brought TO naught by the Indifferent
support he received, and is to be com
miserated with.
The game was umpired by Messrs.
unproductive of bloodshed.
The Police started off with a lead of
six and not until the sixth inning did
their opponents register a tally At the
end of the sixth the score was: Police,
IA; artillery, /.
After the sixth the Police, who evil
IDENTIFY thought that they had been on
their good behavior long enough, began
to get sloppy in the field and allowed
the soldiers to score several which they
hadn't orter." The hay made by the
Police in the early sunshine of the
game. however. relieved the run-get-
ting famine in the last two innings and
allowed the custodians of the law to
consult their Stockholders with cheer
full equanimity.
Following is the correct score as kept

A HAWAIIAN SPECIALITY.
No Better Place Than This In Which
to Learn Foreign Languages.

Editor Advertiser: There are very few
places where foreign languages can be
acquired as easily as in this Honolulu of
ours. The study of language spoken by
a cultured nation makes the student Gull
tured. We are so situated here that bus
mess and visitors make a knowledge of
languages valuable to US. Charles v.
used to say: LAS many languages as a
man speaks SO many times is he a man"
The interest you and the physicians have
taken in those who tramp has suggested
this letter to me- The trampers could
arrange to have with them some one who
speaks German Spanish, French, Portu-
guese, Hawaiian, Chinese or Japanese,
50 as to practice one or more of these
languages on their tramps. Others could
meet at the rooms of the Y. M. c. A.
and Y. ". c. A. or they could study pri-
vately the Latin languages by compari-
son. 1t was the study of cognate lam
guages by comparison that raised Elihu
Burritt from the position of blacksmith
to that Of ambassador.
