So far we have done a good business
with sales fully up to the standard.

son with the Honolulu branch. While

ORTS IN GEN ERAL

Tomorrow will be the opening day of the
American League season, and at this writ
ing it looks as though the weather man will
be kind to President Ban Johnson and his
fellow magnates. With the sun shining it
is expected that record breaking crowds will
turn out in the four cities wherein the eight
clubs of the American League are scheduled
to play. Milwaukee opens in Chicago,
Cleveland In Detroit Boston in Baltimore
and Washington in Philadelphia
Manager Manning, Secretary Needham and
fourteen players will leave Washington this
evening for Philadelphia. From yesterdays
showing it is more than probable that
Mercer will be on the rubber against Con-
ME Macks Athletics, and Wiley Piatt will
probably serve them up for the Quakers
The game starts at 4 o'clock and the
gates will be opened at . A band of forty
pieces will play throughout the game. and
1T is reported over in Philadelphia that
Manager Mack has persuaded the band
leader to have his organization play

time the Senators march on the field The
Athletics have had considerable practice
during the past two weeks with strong
college teams. and are in frst-class con-
dition. From the game the local PLAYERS
put up against Georgetown Yesterday they
are amply able to take care of themselves
and it is more than probable than an in

The unoccupied store room OF Mrs Mary

stroyed by fire. entailing a loss OF several
hundred dollars. The fire was evidently OF
incendiary origin.
I 1t is regarded as almost a certainty that
Spencer c. Jones OF this town will become a
candidate for the democratic nomination
for the state senate. Since the publication
several weeks ago of his possible candidacy
he has been earnestly urged to enter the
field by large number of prominent party
men from all sections of the county and
there is said to be little doubt that he will
yield to their wishes.
1t is understood that the board of super
visors of elections for this county will di-
vide into two election districts what is now
Wheaton district. Under the law passed
at the extra session of the legislature the
authority Is given the boards OF superNi-
sors throughout the state to divide any
election district containing over 600 voters.
Wheaton district contains about 1000 voters
and the proposed division will prove a great
convenience. 1t has been suggested that
one district be called Sligo and the other
Wheaton"

"Major" TayIor's Big Victory.

According to a cablegram from Roubaix,
France. Major Taylor. the American
short distance cycle champion, scored a
signal victory over big field of European
cracks yesterday. In an International open
kilometre race (about O93 yards). held at
Roubaix. the colored wonder finished first.
There were thirty competitors in the event,
including Grogna, the Belgian champion,
who finished second. A rider named Dangla
was third. The significance of the victory
lies in the fact that Grogna has twice won
the Grand Prix of Roubaix, in 1889 defeat
ing Tommaselli, the Italian champion, and
last year Jacquelin, the French champion
and greatest of all European riders.

regard to testimony given by me in the

within the past year l had seen Mr..
N. Powers intoxicated. 1 want to say
that made the statement because be-
lieved 1t was true and had been sworn
to tell the truth. Shortly after this 1
had conversation with Mr.. Powers, at
which time, in very kindly and gentle
manly manner he told me- he was sure
l had mistaken another man, q rela-
tive of his, who in very many ways re-
sembled himself, for him. 1 promised
to investigate the matter, 1 have
done go and am convinced that it was
q case OF mistaken indemnity. am very
sorry that have done Mr.. Powers this
Injustice and take this method to make
right what have made wrong. Hav-

the correction most cheerfully and
gladly.
Very Respectfully.
