ance Commissioner William Bettle will

with a Social Flavor .

The Society-folk of Morristown en-
joyed another of the series of informal
dances at Washington Hall Saturday

from the Saturday previous.

1t was feared the Washington Heights
team would not be on hand as they did
not come until late and then they only
brought three men. Two Morristown
players, Walter Buckle and Fl. Wildly
were substituted.
The first half of the game was played
smoothly and without much blundering
but In the second half both teams be-
came careless and thestruggle resembled
more foot ball game than basket ball.

Important national events may owe
their Importance to the consequences
which result from them. or they may be
the outcome or results of previous con-
ditions, or OF a course of action or in
action on the part of influential persons
or political organizations, or they may
be developments of influences and ten
an occasion TO show their force. For
instance. the destruction of the Maine
was followed by the Spanish war, the
annexation of Hawaii and the acquisi-
tons of Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines; but who can. say of that event,
accidental or intentional. that
il can be regarded as in any sense
cause for these resulting consequences?
Are they not rather due TO underlying
social and racial forces and economic
conditions resting for their foundation
upon~divinely. ordained principles?

way, eight events of Importance in Ha-

They are as follows:
The discovery of the Islands by
Captain Cook in 1873.

the battle of Nuuanu Valley in 1895.
''The arrival OF the missionaries in

United States, the date of which still
appears to be a question Of dispute in

took place by the adoption of the New
lands resolution, flag at the time of the

s,zssanning of territorial government in
