FIELD FOR SPORTS.

With increasing interest in amateur
sports the move being made by the men
who will furnish baseball during the
next season, is one which deserves the
heartiest encouragement. From the
crowds which gathered during the past
summer to witness the high class games
put up, there is every reason to believe
that there will be even greater interest
in the coming contests, and suitable
place to witness the play will be well
coined by every patron of clean sport,
The necessity for an enclosed ground
is apparent when one looks into the
conditions surrounding the play here
The clubs are kept up at some material
expense, there are uniforms and para
phernalia of the game to provide, and
the attendants must be paid for their
services. These expenses are not borne
by the people who patronize the games
in the form of subscriptions, and the
gate money collected must be such as
to meet these charges or the game will
languish, even now that it has been well
started.
There is of course an apparent con-
tradiction of terms when any thing in a
public park is held with fee for ad-
mission. but there will be an advan-
tage to all if a way is found for such
a departure. The grounds will be of the
most satisfactory. and the percentage
from the receipts will be sufficient to
keep the park in. shape, where otherwise
there would be a charge against the
Park Associa ton. which would mean
much in the state of it's funds.
The baseball men are not alone in
wishing a closed ground. for the foot
ball men want park where they may
play next fall. with a hope of securing
larger share Of gate money than they
had the past year. With all these in
terests there should be sufficient pres
sure exerted by the young men to in
duce the construction of grounds which
would afford an opportunity for good
games, and an increase of comfort for
the patrons of the sport.
Such use of the proposed playground
would not be out of harmony with its
projected use. and unless there is some
such interest taken in the Mckinley

SUNDAY JOURNALISM.

Most of the arguments against sun
day Journalism used in the large
cities of the mainland, do not apply
with much force to the same line OF
business here. It is undoubtedly the
case that the forty and sixty page sun
day magazines, published in New York,
Boston. Chicago and San Francisco,
keep people home from church. In that
respect they are like the books drawn
from the public library on Saturday
These magazines contain enough read
ing matter to fill three or four thick
volumes and their pictorial embellish-
ment is often attractive. Most of them
carry serial stories by the most eminent
authors of the English-speaking world.
1t is natural that such interesting libra
ries, spread on the breakfast table Sun
day morning, should induce people to
linger long. Even religious people are
likely to find in them better sermons
than they viii hear in their home pull
pits and church news that they would
get no where else. Hence the inroads
which the amplified Sunday press un-
doubtedly makes upon church attend
ance
But the Sunday Advertiser will be a
newspaper and not a magazine and no
man who is not now kept from business
by the Saturday Advertiser will have
an excuse for staying away from church
on its account.
Another argument against the main
land Sunday magazine is the sensa-
tionalism of its news columns. The
plea is made with much force that news
of evil doings glaringly and seductively
displayed, dist1rbs the Sunday habit of
mind and neutralizes the teachings Of
the pulpit. No one need fear the Sum
day Advertiser on that score This pa
per will be as clean on Sunday as it is
on other days, 1t knows it's parish and
has traditions of its own to sustain.
The final thunderbolt against Sunday
Journalism. namely, that it is produced
by Sunday labor, should be directed
against Monday Journalism instead.
Today's Advertiser was written and
mostly put in type yesterday. The Sun
day issue will be a Saturday product,
except as to it's kilograms, press work
and delivery. AS to the day of rest,
the one day in seven, required by all
workers, that has been fully arranged
for by giving each employee a six day
billet if he wants it.
Happily the feeling against Sunday
Journalism is not SO deep as to prevent
the hearty encouragement of this pa
per's new departure by leading mem
bers of all the churches. The feeling as
expressed to US on Saturday was that,
as the Sunday paper is bound to follow
the cable, it is better to have a journal
of good traditions and known response
bility and policy occupy the field.

GETTING THE NEWS.

The omission of half a line in the an
nouncement of the Sunday Advertiser
made it appear that European news
would be printed up to the time of the
London filings of a. m. on Saturday
For Saturday read Sunday. Honolulu
is so located in degree of longitude that
1t can receive foreign news some hours
before it occurs under our own time
For instance when the Advertiser closes
its forms about a. m. the hour is about
York and 10 a. m. in London. Ordinari-
ly San Francisco will file its report to
US about a. m. there, the news reach
ing us about midnight. 1t will then be
in London. In all these calculations, of
course, some deduction must be made
for time in transmittal so probably, in
actual practice, newspaper here, in
closing it's forms at a. M. would get
London news, (unless it be of the great
est Importance. which had been rush
ed) up to an hour no later than 7.
What is said of the. Sunday service
in these respects applies also to the
daily service. For S65 days in the year.
barring breaks in the cable or in the
overland telegraph lines, the Advertiser
will print the important facts of the
current news of the world, some of it
apparently ahead of time.
And all for 81 per month. 1t is re-
mafkabIe that so much can be done for
so low price. In foreign countries at
the extreme ends of cable service. such
as China and Japan. very small papers
sell for about twice what the Advertiser
proposes to charge its customers. Then
again there is no extra price on local
expansion. Five cents bought a copy of
the Advertiser ten years ago which in
its four pages, contained no foreign
news less than week old and only
about enough locals news to cover the
space left by advertisements ON the 9th
page of today's paper Despite an i'm
mense growth in enterprise and ex
penses the Advertiser still goes for five
cents and for less by subscription.
When it is considered what other things
cost in Hawaii the price fixed on news
has the elements of public benefaction.
The retail price of the Advertiser is
not affected by the change in subscrip-

PLAYGROUND IN A STORE.
Chicago Establishment Has IncIOs-
ure for the Accommodation OF
shOpPera' Children.


Real grass, real sand and real wheel
barrows and shovels are to be provided
for the children who visit one of the
big department stores of Chicago.
The idea of day nurseries where moth
ers may leave their children while
shopping has been improved on by the
management. There has been laid out
on the second floor a playground for
the children, with swings, hammoclxs,
sand and plenty Of toy implements
for the exclusive use of the youngsters.
The pillars which form the corners Of
the playground are covered with bark
and long branches, with realistic leaves
on them, twine overhead, giving the
final touch to the out-of-door appear
ance of the place. The inclosure is
surrounded by a picket fence high
enough to keep the children in, but
not high enough to make them feel con-
strained. The first day of the new
departure, there was a large number
OF children digging in the sand pile,
running about the gravel paths and
rolling on the turf. Just as fast as
the grass is worn down by the feet Of
the little ones it will be replaced with
fresh sods. Attendants are at hand
to see that no necks are broken by
falls from the swings and hammOcks
and TO prevent the overmischievous
from pouring buckets Of sand down
their playmates' backs.

WOMEN FORM FIRE COMPANY.
Men Couldn't Make the Youths DriIH,
Bat Feminine Tact Found
Way.

Prominent citizens of Norfolk,
Conn, have made several attempts to
organize a fire company for the pro-
lection OF their property in the last
year, but every attempt failed, says
the New York Sun. There didn't seem
to be enough civic pride OF enough fear
Of fire in Norfolk to inspire FIRE drills,
and it seemed as If it would be left
to anybody and everybody to get out
the garden hose and do the best that
could be done IL a fire did start.
Then the women took up the mat
ter. They issued call for young men
desirous Of joining a military com
Pany. That caught Norfolk's young
men. Fifty of them responded, says
the New York Sun.
After that It was easy. The young
men didn't see just how TO get out Of
1t when, very neatly, the military or
ganization was developed into a FIRE
force.
The women bought the hose, and
now the town has just as good a fre
department as its neighbors Of equal
size.

To those whose days have been spent
in the enjoyment Of the freedom Of
the old west, even as Il appeared in
the sos, there comes a regret in the
contemplation Of the new order Of
things. For assuredly the old has
given way to the new, says the Tacoma
Ledger. The old west as the early set
tiers knew IL for 20 years OF more
has gone as went the Indian and the
buffalo, and with It has gone that larg-
er freedom which were its charaeteris-
ties and It's charm. There ia no longer
any west. The methods and eondi-
tions Of the west are the methods and
conditions Of the east, plus western
energy. Indeed, TO be entirely Just,

push is not an importation, for GER
