Baseball enthusiasts will endeayor
during the next few days to arrange for
a game of baseball between an All Ho-
nolulu team and a nine from the cruiser
New York. The latter team is holding
the title of champions of the Asiatic
station of the United States Navy, on
the record of thirty-four games won out
of thirty-fve played while in the Orient.
The men of the cruiser keep in good
condition and they are very anxious for
a game. They claim that they have one
of the best pitchers in the country, the
mar having played in Washington, D.
c., n in the South, holding his end
against the best men of the East. The
catcher of the team is said to rival
Cunha in breadth and speed, and the
entire team is averred to be made up of
stars. The team may meet a combina-
ton of the Honolulus, Males and Puma
hous, the game to be set for Thursday
or perhaps Saturday afternoon, in time
to permit of closing before the football
game begins. The men of the battle
ship are: Bruff, c.; O'Brien, p; Coggs-
wells. h.; Snyder, 2b.; Hurley, S..
Reichling, 3d.; Vandermasts, If; La
Londes, rf.; Shean, CT; Stockton.

problem of prevention reduced itself to the
point of eliminating themosquftoes. Swamps
were drained streets were cleaned. sewers
were built and the people were taught to
lead more clearly lives The breeding places
of the mosquito were thereby reduced in
number and the systems Of the people were
strengthened against disease attacks. The
remarkable falling of Of the death rate and
the fever rate could logically be ascribed only
to these measures. After conclusive a
showing and SO good a start there is every
reason to believe that the era Of cleanliness
will continue even though the American
trusteeshp Is ended. With an advanced
thinker and an active man at the head of
the health department Cuba may be kept
clean and comparatively free from disease.
But of course large appropriations are nee
essary to continue the permanent works in
the cities and in the cleaning and draining
of swampS Americans will watch the
course of this work in Cuba with as keen
an interest as when such excellent results
were following the efforts of our own Of
fcers With Cuba no longer the menace to
keeping our own shores free from the
scourging fevers of the semi-tropics will
become much easier. The example of Cuba,
too. in successfully fighting this enemy
may stimulate other countries subjected to
similar conditions to modern sanitary eff
forts. If all the West Indian Islands were
to be put upon the high plane of present
Cuban sanitation and carefully held there.
the health of this whole hemisphere would
be vastly benefited.

''Dum-Dum" O'Brien.

Corporal O'BrieR's reputation as an am
munition expert suffers seriously in the
face of the explicit denial by the army
chief of ordnance of his assertion that the
army in the Philippines used the dunn
dunn bullets. His failure to prove his
charge is chara cteristic of the type of wit
nesses to which he belongs. Nursing a
grudge against officers of his former regi-
ment. confessedly a complainer when in
the ranks embittered against the whole
army and devoid of the slightest patriotic
sentiment for its good name, he secures
transportation to Washington at the ex-
pense of the government in order to testify
to the discredit of the American milit airy
system He gives hearsay testimony to
the detriment of officers whom he names,
accuses the men in the ranks. himself In

Cuban Sanitation.

1t is claimed for Dr. Carlos Findley who
has been chosen as chief health officer of
CUBA. that 1t was he who first advanced
the theory that yellow fever is spread by
mosquitoes. If this is true and DR.. Find
ley is given free hand and plenty of funds
as health officer the progressive and sue
cessful sanitary work which has marked
the American occupation is likely to become
permanent. The experiments conducted by
thearmy surgeons in Cuba strongly tended to
prove that the insect pest is responsible
for the transmission of the disease germs.
Men who subjected themselves to tests were
attacked by the disease when bitten by
mosquitoes a certain time after the insects
had bitten fever patients. Men bitten by
mosquitoes which were known to be free
from the germs remained healthy. Further
more the experiments tended to disproye
the theory that the germ is conveyed from
patient to patient by means of the cloth
ing or the excreta of sufferers. Thus the

Discomfort.

When Reuben takes a holiday
He mends his coat and shines his shoes;
His necktie with it's patterns gay,
Is like gardens myriad hues.
Perchance he has his trousers creased;
He oils and brushes down his hair,
And hopes that at the very least
They'll take him for a millionaire.
When Bigby Bonds would fain forget
His wealth. with it's oppressive woes,
His fine attire without regret
He doffs and dons his toughest clothes.
With flaring hat and heavy shoes
He's up when first the dawn grows red,
And hopes that every one who views
His style will VOW he's country-bred.
And so we mortals strive and plan,
And each bewails his natal star
And thinks were he some other man
He would be happier by far.

l Municipal Building at Last.

Short of a presidential veto, it is as
P1eured that the District VII at last be given
a municipal building, an official home, of
its own. The Senate's action yesterday in
passing the omnibus public building bill
which contains a section providing for the
Districts structure, assures agreement on
that item in conference. although the par
agraph may later be changed somewhat
owing to the modifica lions by the Senate
which limited the cost of the site and elm
mated the reference to the closing of T.
street
The bill as it stands appropriates 81 800
OO Of which not more than s550, 900 can be
paid for the square known as the old pow
er house site, fronting on Pennsylvania
avenue. This leaves at the least $4,000
FOR the structure itself. not a sufficient sum
but gratefully to be accepted in view of the
very long delay and the possibility that the
amount will later be increased by Congress-
The municipal building for the capital city,
located on the city's greatest thoroughfare
and within the area designated as the site
for future government buildings, should
cost not cent less than 100000 in order
to be propOrtionately handsome in design
and materials Occupying an entire square
of ground should be the case with every
other public building. 1t will call for de-
sign of impressive character. The govern
ment learned in the case of the department
OF justice building that 81 100000 is insult
fcient for the construction of so import
ant structure in a conspicuous position
and this discovery was one of the causes
leading TO the abandonment of the plan OF
putting the building on the site chosen for
IL
The District municipal building should
partmental structures in Washington Of
course. it will not be of the Capitol cr Ii
brary class. nor as large as the great triple
department building west of the White
House But it will be notable in character
and should be equally. notable in design.
