Sunday Memorial Service.

Washington. SpCcial.--Thc House

experiment Of holding memorial ser
vices for deceased members upon the
Sabbath. 1t will be followed hcreaf-

will become the general practice in
the House in the future. Heretofore.

"OuSc has broken in upon its lcgiS-
lative work on Friday or Saturday to
listen to culogicS ON deceased mem
bcrs. but the time has seldom been
prOpit;ous and lattcrly the practice
has been meeting with growing disfa-
vOr. On account of the pressure OF
public business at this session it was
decided to hold the memorial session
On Sunday. and during the course Of
these culogics today several members
took occasion to voice ti"r commcn-
dptiOn of the innovation and TO OK
press their opinion that it would be
followed in the future. At the session
last Sunday, tribut" was paid to the
life and public services of the late
Representatives Russell. Of COnnccti-
cut. and Sheppard and DcGraffenreid.

the congressional recess. The attend

BAD MONEY.

A Japanese rushed into the Police
Station yesterday with a sackful of
what he claimed were counterfeit
halves. The disturbed Oriental stated
that the spurious COIN had been given
him by a party who had spent the
evening in his establishment and eaten
up his stock of watermelons. The Jap
operates a fruit store and the legend
above his shop tells the passing show
that he has Tobacco, cigar and many
other fruit to sale"
An inspection of the spurious" was
made and the examining committee
raised a smile. The round, shining
pieces bore the words, Buy The Dou-
glas Patent Closet from Bath, the
Plumber" The Jap was arrested foI
disturbing the peace. Ask Bath for a
sample half.

LEGISLATORS WILL PLAY
BASEBALL FOR LEPERS
Senate and House Members to Meet in Match
for the Fund

permit certain men to catch on the
first bound, and to prevent a man TAX
ing more than one base on balls. If
the weather is clear there may be a
privilege for umbrellas in the field,
and the messengers are expected to be
called into service to chase long hits.
The question of umpires has caused
some trouble. It has been suggested
that Senator Isenberg, for the upper
house, and Representative Aylett for
the lower house officiate, but again
the suggestion has been made, that
as the legislature must act to the
wishes of the courts, that Justices of
the Supreme Court be secure as the
umpires for the day. This may per-
nit Chief Justice Frear to look on as
a court of appeals, while Justices Per-
ry and Galbraith work in the field.
Enough said, to show that it will
be worth while, for the band will play.
There may be a parade and the off,
Gals of the government will be in at
tendance, the Attorney General act
ing as scorer, and the ever genial
Treasurer as chief gatekeeper. The
game is scheduled for o'clock, on

There will be raised for the Lepers
at Kalaupapa, a fund for the usual
Fourth of July entertainment, and as
| well there will be some rare sport for
the people of Honolulu, when the Leg
islators get together on the diamond
| of the new baseball park on Friday
afternoon for match at baseball.
While the benefit is the first consi-
deration, it is not for anyone to argue
that the game will be pure fun, for
there is a deep seated grudge to be
wiped out in base hits and scores. The
Senate has been called the superior
body until the House members have
ranked. They are tired of it and they
intend to show that they are the bet
ter of the two at any game, baseball
being the one now chosen for the first
round
that will not prevent the filling of the
hour and a half with sport, rare, for
the spectators at least. 1t is the in
tention to have tickets for the match
on sale at all downtown stores tomor-
row, and as we'll it is now planned to
have the boxes for the contest sold
at auction on Thursday at noon at the
Stock Exchange There will be a uni
form admission fee of fifty cents, and
without doubt the grounds will be full
of spectators.
The Senators, owing to the fact that
they are so generally grave and rever-
end, have been permitted to ask Dele
gate Kalanianaole to be of their side.
This gives to the upper house, count
ing by the stairs of the Capitol build
ing only, a battery which is counted
upon to lay out the others, as Senator
Woods, he of fame as a twirler in old
days, will be the delivery end. The

Senators and employees of the upper
house as follows: First base, Presi-
dent Crabbe, captain; second base,
Senator MCandless; short stop, Sena-
tor Achi; third base, Interpreter Craw-
ford; left field. Typewriter Thornton;
center field, Clerk Savidge; right field,
Sergeant-at-Arm Kama. All the 9TH
ers will be substitutes.
The House will have a younger team.
but it will be without the experience
of the above stairs body. Representa-
tive Knudsen of Kauai, will be the
captain of the team, and after a try
out yesterday afternoon he selected
the following as his first nine: An
drade, catcher; Keliinoi. pitcher;
