the championship. "Slugger" Kelly.
the hardest hitter on the Jersey nine.
predicted in the course OF the con-
yersation, that he would get home
run In the coming game. The Yale
pitcher turned toward him and asked
how certain he was OF that homo run.
Kelly replied that he was sure to the
extent OF $1,000 and the Yale pitcher
remarked that he was convinced OF
the opposite to a like degree the two
players shook hands ON the wager and
went home TO bod. During the first
eight innings Kelly came TO the bat
Eve times and i've times he got his
base on balls. the Yale man taking
care TO send In no ball that Kelly
could touch.
When the "slugger" came TO tho
hat In the las, half OF the ninth there

knew that Il vas his last chance 70

away across the rubber and his bat

next second tho broken bat was lying
on the ground and Kelly was dying
around the diamond. lie reached home
with the winning run about a second
before the ball landed In the catchers

The court of appeals has just decid-
ed case of considerable interest in
the state. 1t was from Fayette coun-
ty, in an injunction suit filed to pre-.
veEt the issuing of s75, 900 in city
bonds to erect additional school build
ings 1t was claimed by Warrington,
the man who brought the suit, that
the proposition did not receive two
thirds of the votes cast at the election,
and was commended by the city Of Lex
ington that only two-thirds of those
voting on the bond proposition was
necessary. The circuit court decided
in favor Of the city and board of edu-
cation, and this the court of appeals
affirms, holding that when bonds are
voted on, it is necessary to have only
two-thirds of those voting on the ques.
ton, no matter how many votes fol
other things may have been cast at the
election. This decision is not new
but it is a good one to remember.

When the bids for building the brick
street on Broadway were opened the
principal difference between the bid
of the successful contractor and an
other bidder was due to the fact that
one guaranteed to keep the street over
the storm water sewerage in repair
for five years, while the other would
not. The city. because one contractor
made this guarantee, while the other
would not, paid him several hundred
dollars more for doing the work than
the other contractor agreed to do it
for, yet the people have never received
particle of benefit from the extra
outlay. The additional price the peo.
pie paid for that brick street was for
keeping 1t in repsir. The contractor

OF
PEARL HARBOR

The Social Science Club met Mon
cay night at the residence Of Prof.
Grifiiths, of Punahou College. The
sneaker OF the evening was DR.. Bren-
ner professor of geology ct Stanford
University His subject was the origin
Of Pearl Harbor. The professor has
made a study Of both hand and ocean
topography for more than 20 years,
and has just completed and sent to
press a book upon the subject. He con-
slders that the proof amounts to a
demonstration that Pearl Harbor was
formed at a time when that entire sec
ton was considerably elevated above
sea-level; that the present deep water
of Pearl Harbor is simply a series Of
valleys caused by erosion through the
compare lively soft mate-ia! Of which
the banks are formed. The entire sur
rounding country sank. during some
revulsion of nature, NOT less than
400 or SEQ feet, the sea flowing in and
filling the valleys. They have since
been filled, to a greater o. less extent.
by tho wash from the hills. No other
hypothesis could explain the peculiar
shape and formation of the harbor.

REJECTED OIL
FOUNDTOBE GOOD

Five hundred cases OF kerosene oil
consigned on the Nevadan to AleXan-
der & Baldwin, at Kahului, which were
rejected by the inspector there, were
yesterday allowed to be landed by Supt.
Cooper.
The kerosene was consigned to the
kahului store of Alexander & Baldwin
and rejected by Inspector Bailey as be-
ing below standard. He tested the oil
and found it to be of only ITO test,
while the law requires that it shall be
at least 1l5 test, The five hundred
cases of oil We're accordingly brought
back to Honolulu on the Nevadan.
Yesterday additional tests of the
Kerosene was made upon the order of
Supt. Cooper. Inspector McKeague's
tests showed the oil to test at 1923 and
TO make doubly sure Supt Cooper also
requested Food Commissioner Shorey
of the Board of Health To make tests.
He also found the oil to stand 1923 test,
and upon this showing the oil was per-
mitted to be landed.

WHAT Is PAIN BALM?

Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a lini'
ment, and while adapted to all the or
binary uses OF liniment, has qualities
which distinguish ii from other reme-
dies of this class. Pain Balm is espe-
cially beneficial for rheumatism. Thou
sands of cases can be cited in which
this remedy has effected n cure when
the sufferer had previously tried the
best medical service without securing
relief, Pain Balm is positively guaran-
teed To give relief in the most severe
cases of chronic or acute rheumatism.
Pain Balm heals bruises. burns and
scalds in less time than any other treat
ment. 1t is "antiseptic," that is, II
prevents putrefaction. and by so doing
generally prevents an unsightly scar
remaining after the injury is healed
For lame back, lumbago and neuralgia,
ram Balm has no equal. 1t has the
Quality OF getting to the right spot"

tectlons should defer a trial OF this

bill for sewer in Kalihi, near the
Kamehameha Schools. The introducer
said that the trustees of the Kameha-
meha Schools We're willing to pay
$4,000 towards a sewer; referred to
health committee.
Senator Nakaapahu introduced a
resolution calling for an appropriation
of S., 300 for roads on Kauai. Senator
Baldwin moved that the resolution go
to the public lands committee. Senator
Kalauokalani objected, and said there
wasn't any use referring resolutions to
that committee; he had a resolution
relating to Fort street repairs and a
cemetery before the committee, which
had never been reported. He objected
the waste basket, and wanted a new
committee appointed.
President Crabbe said he would re-
quire all committees who had resolu-
tons under consideration for five days
to report within three days. Senator
McCandless explained that these reso-
buttons We're held up because the COM
mittee was trying to ascertain how
much money the Territory would have
above the current expenditures. He
said four or five times the amount
which could be expended had been ask
ed, and though the improvements no
doubt were necessary, yet the appro-
priations should be made in proportion
to the taxes paid by each district.
President Crabbe said that 1t was not
the duty of committees to say the Sem
ate should make certain appropriations
but only to find out whether or not
they were needed.
Senator McCandless replied that the
committee didn't want to recommend
any appropriations when there was no
money available to pay them. The
cqsnmlttee would report back all reso-
lutions with the recommendation that
they be laid on the table.
Senator Baldwin said it was the duty
of the committee TO consider only the
need OF improvements; that the Leg
islature always had appropriated dou-
BILE the amount of money available,
and the government officials decided
what improvement was most necessary.
The discussion was finally ended by
an announcement from the President
that all committees would be required
TO report on next Monday.
EMERGENCY BILL PASSED.

SO as to include manioc and Hawaiian
starch in the exemptions. and was then
tremendously put through the COM
mittee. The committee thereupon re-
ported the bill back to the House, and
it was put upon its third reading, and
passed as amended.
The House then proceeded with the
order of the day, which was the third
reading of the income tax bill, fixing
