one of the best amateur games ever
seen in the city. Men in every walk Of
life were there and enjoyed the game
immensely, manifesting appreciation of
those who aimed to provide good, clean
sport for the Saturday half-holiday
Furthermore. 1t was proven beyond a
doubt that the lovers of the national
game in this city are base ball hungry.
The grandStand was filled with people,
among whom were a number of ladies,
and along the base lines the crowd was
so large that at times it interfered with
the playing.
Neither team showed very much bat
ting strength, but all of the players

evidently lost his cunning. He accepted
but two of the six chances he received

Wind Caused n Fire.

At S.45 o'clock last night, while the
storm was in full blast, an alarm of
fire was sounded from Box Al, South
Washington avenue. The fire was
caused by the wind dsarranging an
electric light wire at the residence of
Ignatz Dram and was extnguished
before any damage of consequence
took place.
The fire set part of the hallway in
blaze, but the prompt arrival OF the
Phoenix, Neptune, William Connell and
Century companies prevented a spread
of the flames. The dog which has long
been the Neptune's mascot was killed
by receiving a severe shock from step
ping on an end of the wire which
caused all the trouble
Several persons received small
shocks from the wire. The entire
damage from fire and water will not
amount to more than S25.

Rev. Dr.. Il. h, Ware, of Merchant

pit at the Penn Avenue Baptist church
and preached an interesting sermon on
the theme. THE Magican's Wand" He
declared that the human will is the
powerful instrument which possesses
the potent influences of a magic wand.
"Will," said he, lis the only true
magician's wand placed in the hands of
men, and all treasures revealed in the
world by the exercise of our wills are
made our possessions.
The masses in Christian lands who
are without God are so not because of

Through Cars to Seashore Via. the
Central r. r. of N. ].

The Central Railroad of New Jersey
is offering a great accommodation to
summer travellers from this vicinity to
the seashore resorts on the Atlantic
coast, by the through car service now
in operation from this city to Long
Branch, Ocean Grove, Asbury Park,
Belmar, Spring Lake, Sea Grit, etc.
The special cars to these resorts are
attached to the train leaving this city
at $50 a. m, going direct to the vari-
Gus resorts along the coast, thereby en-
abling passengers to secure and retain
comfortable seats to destination, thus
obviating the unpleasantness caused by
changing cars, as made necessary by
travelling over the various other routes.
The through car service has become
very popular this season and will be
continued throughout the summer.

healing of the lame beggar who had

beggar had been leading for years, lying
outside the beautiful gates of tl,e tent

healed by the power of Christ. lie
told of the easy life which the begghr
was glad to give up, even though he
realized that during the rest OF his
years he would have to earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow.
There are so many Christians

Senate is Against
Reputation Of Debts

As predicted in yesterdays Bulletin
the Senate when 1t met Yesterday after
noon. took action on the hill introduced
by Mr.. Cecil Brown on the first day Of
the extension Of the session and passed
1t in first reading, the Senators thereby
arraying. themselves unequivocally
against the Reputation of the debts
of the government contracted In good
faith.
Immediately after the regular pre-
liminaries, Mr.. c. Brown arose and
after saying that he believed there had
been enough Of political lodgings.
spoke as follows: "As far as ! am
individually concerned, | am already to
adjourn sine die Immediately after the
passage Of the act providing for the
payment on the unpaid bills as sent to
us In the message from the Acting
Governor.
III the Senate sets the example.
have no doubt whatever that the
House Of Representatives will follow
In its footsteps and by Saturday. the
Legislature will be ready to adjourn
sine die and go home. II the Legisla-
ture does not take some action. II will
simply be an act of reputation and
the people to whom money is owed will
have to wait another two years.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1901-07-23

therefore move that the bill which
introduced the other day be taken of
the table for consideration and passed
'in/ second reading. AS for the other
matters suggested in messages from
the Governor. let those wait for the
next regular session or an extra SEES
sion"
Mr.. Browns motion was seconded by
Mr.. Paris and carried almost unani-
mously. there being five Republicans
and six Independents present. Mr..
White voted against taking the bill of
the table. In deed, 1t looked very much
from what he started to say when Mr.
Cecil Brown sprung his proposition
as II Mr.. White had not been consulted
in the matter.
The bill having been taken off the
table was passed in Hrst reading and
second reading was set for today. The
Senate then adjourned until o'clock
this afternoon.
