QUESTION
OF A DAY
Baseball Men To
Decide AS To
Play.
Many Men Missing On
Account Of the
Parade.
Males and Elks May Decide to
Forfeit Rather Than Play
Weak Teams.

Whether or not there will be base
ball at Punahou Saturday will be de-
cided at a deferred meeting of the
League to be held this evening, at Elks
club. Two clubs yesterday wanted to
postpone the games of Saturday. or In
the event that a majority of the League
adhered to the expressed determination
to insist upon the play. the Elks and
Males gave notice that they would
forfeit their games.
It was to settle the question of the
play on Decoration Day that the spe-
cial meeting was held yesterday after
noon. There were representatives of
each team and Trustees Isenberg and
whitney present Brooks of the EIks
moved that the games be postponed
from Saturday until later in the season.
Lucas, Male lima, seconded. Brooks
said in support of his motion, that the
fact that each of the weaker teams
Judged by play up. to the present time,
would lose invaluable men. should be
considered by the League. and some
consideration shown. The fact was
brought out that German of the Elks
would be absent, and of the Males FIVE
men, who though not on the regular
team have been booked for the game of
Saturday, would be absent, taking part
in the parade.
Managers Wise and Carter of the
Kams and Punahous, respectively, urg-
ed that the teams knew of this date
when the schedule drawing took place,
and should have made their protest
then, and not now interfere with the
schedule as regularly agreed upon and
inaugurated-
Brooks suggested that the games
would be almost farcical, with weak
teams going against strong ones. In
fact he said he would rather forfeit his
game, than to have the supporters of
the team and the public at large go
and see the play, when there were such
a number of men out.
The vote on the motion to postpone
was four to six, those voting to post
pone being the Elks and Males, and
those against. the Punahous and H. A.
c.. which will play against them. and
the Kamehamehas.
Immediately George Lucas. of the
Males, said that in the interest of Civ
ing the people good sport he would file
notice that his game would be for
feited. F. NJ. Brooks made the same
statement for the Elks. There was a
long discussion, Trustee Whitney say
ing that Decoration Day was usually
observed by the people, and he thought
there should be no sports on the day,

HONOLULU MUTUAL
BURIAL ASSOCIATION

AT a called meeting of the board of
control of the Honolulu Mutual Burial
Association held in the parlors of the
Townsend Undertaking Co. yesterday,
those present were Fl. E. Waity, Rev.
w. H. Rice, H. c. Brown and J. H.
Townsend. Arrangements were made
for the annual meeting on July 18th
next.
The report of the secretary of the
growth and working of the Associa-
ton was very satisfactory to the
board The membership has reached
43s, and new members are received
nearly every day.
1t is the belief of the board that most
of our citizens will connect themselves
with the Association when they under
stand the benefits derived from it.
Seven members have been buried by
the Association, each one receiving a
respectable $4,000 burial. that only cost
the deceased $3.50. There will be no
assessment this year.

Through their fondness for fish,
house cats have learned to prowi
around the bay front and capture un-
suspectFhg muTlet that come too near
the waters edge calhoun County
News.
One of the strange things il nature
is the fondness % the cat for FISH and
it's fear of water. There IS no animal,
not even those which prey upon fish
and are adapted by nature to catching
them, like the otter and muskrat, which
is fonder of fish than the ordinary cat.
There is no animal which dis!ikes the
water more. State Press has seen a
cat which loafed around a live box,
where minnows were kept, and which
would watch the surface of the water
as closely as if watching a mousehole.
and if a minnow came to the top IT
would be quickly slapped out of the
water by the paw without even wetting
the latter. This is not fish or cat
story, either.-Galveston News.

off. Both Trustees urged postpone
ment.
Manager Carter. of the Punahous,
said that while he was in favor of the
integrity of the schedule. he did not
want to press the matter and suggested
that there be an adjournment until this
evening. for further discussion to see if
there could not be an adjustment The
adjournment was then had.
The managers OF the two teams which
expressed their determination to forfeit
agreed that it would be better for the
sport that they do not go on the field
with weak teams, and perhaps disgust
admirers by the poor game put up.
1t is now promised that the new
grounds for the League will be ready
for play on June 18th The fencing is
going on rapidly, and the grading is
about completed. AS soon as possible
the games win be transferred This
date would mean that only two more
games may be played ON Punahou
campus.

since he snubbed one of King Edward S
friends by turning him out of doors
when he came to the Aston residence
without invitation, having been brought
there by one of the guests, with whom
he had been dining. But the royal cold
shoulder does not extend to the ex-

Waldorf is quite popular at court. He

them for use as a skeleton. DR.. Tip

be kept full Of water, but the attend
ant neglected his work and allowed

fell apart. One Of the ..trustys in

DR.. Da Costa came across the scat

member OF the board OF the occur

suppose that DR.. Upton had commit

Considerable testimony was heard
in regard to the Ferris wheel treat

who had been discharged and were
complaining Of present abuses OF in

The witnesses for the prosecution
laid great stress on the charge that
some of the patients We're deprived
OF all clothing and locked III cold cells

The investigation developed the fact
that there were several patients at The
institution who were extremely violent

their underclothing would be chewed

shoes in order to chew the leather.
There is one man in the institution
who cannot be taught to sleep in a
bed, and has TO be provided with a
pile OF straw in one orner of his cell.
He is possessed of prodigious strength
and has at times mastered five muscu-
lar attendants. He frequently grows
quite rational and can be allowed in
the corridors to take exercise, but
soon becomes extremely violent again
and has to be confined to one of the
strongest cells in the asylum. Sew

to teach him to sleep in a bed. A

had nearly succeeded in getting
through the window, the attendants
were ordered to turn the fire hose on
him. The cold water at once brought
him completely u of his violent fit
and he was apparently as rational as

prosecution made great stock Of this

Charge Fell Flat.

The only case brought against the
management of the asylum that could
not absolutely be disproved was the
charge that DR.. Upton had carved the
flesh from the body Of Mary Leonard,
a patient who died in the asylum, for
the purpose Of securing q skeleton.
The bones were found scattered about
the grounds outside the fence some
time later. The Advertiser and the
west side residents raised a terrible
storm Of indignation in this matter.
The true facts OF the case. as
brought out by reliable witnesses In
the investigation, showed that DR.. Tip
ton had needed a skeleton at the asy-
lum in his work. The territory pro.

A novelty is promised in the way Of stage
pictures by the management of Checkers.
1t consists of reproduction of the famous
ington Park Club at Chicago during the
running of the great American Derby in
1893. The betting booths are there in the
fore front, with the bookmakers and their
assistants in them; the crowd of speculative
money seekers are surging around to place
their coin on the chances of their fayor1te
horse. There is a glimpse of the grand
stand filled with pretty women charmfngly
gowned and accompanied by men good to
look upon while in the background runs a
section of the great track upon which 50
many thoroughbreds have made worldwide
records. The curtain rises upon the close
of the third race, with the crowd coming
down to collect the SpoilS of their sport.
Bets are placed upon the next race, and
through the betting the theme of the story
runs strong and inSistent, until the Derby
is called and the crowds surge to the ring
side, while Checkers, who has riSked his
reputation and his all. remains behind to
listen to the unimpassioned voice of the an
nouncer telling of the progress of the race.
The possibilities of such a scene are GER
tainly great. How well those possibilities
are employed next Monday night will show.

Creatore.

Inc story of the early life of Creatore
the eccentric and athletic banCimaster. IL a
neat little romance. which forms a pretty
background of contrast to the leaders sue
cess OF today.
Twenty-ocd years ago there appeared on
the streets of Naples little bare-footed
boy trombone in hand and playing when
ever he could get people to listen and for
the few COINS they would toss. Listen they
did. for the soul of genius was within the
small body and poured out through the bat
tered trombone
one day the lad was found crying by a
WEALTHY musician, who Interested in the
pathetic face. asked the youth the reason
for his grief. Young Giuseppe told his
story OF how crowd of boys had beaten
and robbed him OF his pennies In the fight
he had lost the mouthpiece of his instru-
ment. 1t was the loss of this that caused
the little musicians toars, for without IL
he could not play. and 1t was by his playing
that be made living. The kind old gem
ueman listened to the story and then said:
Never mind. little one, / will buy you a
new one" And he did.
As seen the young Neapolitan youth
adjusted the mouthpiece that his new-found
friend bought. he raised the battered In
strument to his lips and blew a paen Of
gratitude for the kind old man who had be-
Iriended him and returned to him the

Lafayette Opera House.

His Last Dollar" a new American play
by David Higgins and Baldwin G. Cooke,
will be the attraction at the Lafayette for
the week commencing Monday, September
q, with Mr.. Higgins in the character of
Joe Braxton and Miss Georgia Waldron as
Eleanor Downs. The story is modern, and
the scenes are laid in New York and its en-
yirons. The drama is in five acts, and the
contrast of humor and dramatic interest
well provided for. MIR. Higgins is the au-
thor of several plays quite typical of the
soil. and in this new he Is credited with
having added several strong and character
1Suc personageS to the stage. Joe Braxton
is type OF the young man who has Chal-
ienged the stern forces of the rugged west
and come off best in the fight. He is some
what set up in his own estimation over this
cheerful fact, and not at all backward in
coming to the front with this notion. His
experiences in his battle with Wall street
serve as eye-openers and make his DAYS
somewhat busy and full of incident, and he
quits wiser If not quite so exalted in his
own mind. The character makes a good
example of stage portraiture, and rings
true. In this role Mr. Higgins is said to
nave his best and most legitimate oppor-
tunity for comedy and dramatic effort AS
Eleanor Downs Miss Georgia Waldron de-
plctS the gentle but courageous girl from
Lexington, who has for her dying fathers
sake brayed the hardships of trip to the
east 10 enter her race horse in the great
u III lily ALLOWING tHdI on MS medger chance
OF winning depends the future of her dearly
loved family. The character is said to be
true TO life in that it represents as por-
trayed by Miss WaldrOn. that pure devotion
and deep love of family honor, place and
tradition that have made so many glorious
southern women heroines and martyrs for
loves sake The play is an American com
edy dealing mainly with the experiences of
a California millionaire who has come to
New York to take flyer on the stock ex-
change. The play will be presented by a
large and efficient cast in support of Mr.
Higgins and Miss Waldron. To the general
Idea the winnings of a race hardly seem
adequate to serve as the basis of a fortune
but as high as $1,000 have been won on a
single race. as was done by Mr. August
Belmont In 1890. when his celebrated horse
POTOMAC won the great Futurity stakes of
that year. 1t is on experiences like this
one that the racing incident is used In His
Last Dollar, this new play. The scenes

You play well, my boy he exclaimed
when the melody was finished.
The new friend became his patron, and
was able, through his acquaintance with
the famous leader of the Neapolitan Marine
Band, an organization as wen regarded in
Italy as the Boston Symphony in America,
to secure him an introduction to the re-
nowned leader. The leader laughed at the
idea of the bare-headed, dirty street urchin
being able to play a trombone. but he was
a friend of the old gentleman, and TO please
him gave the boy a semblance of hearing.
At that time Creatore did not know one
note from another. What he played was
what he heard, but he astonished the great
leader by the passion with which he played
the simple melodies. There's promise in
the boy he said at last land IL he viii
work l will make musician of him.
How well the young musician worked
may be judged by the prominence he has
gained in America for it was to this coun-
try that he turned after he had been given
the grand prix. in the conservatory in which
he studied. His first success was when he
astonished Naples by playing solos in the
best orchestras. standing box so his
auditors could hear him. for he was too
small to reach up to the music rack.
