Alumni.Seminary Ball Game.

On Monday afternoon the Alumni
and the Seminary fought for the hon.
ors in the baseball world in a most
interesting and close game. For q
time it looked as if the school team
was doomed to defeat, but in the sixth
inning matters came to sudden turn
when the school-boys touched the
nome plate six times, making the score
8 10 g.. When the ninth inning came
each side had added three scores to
this number and with IL to IL the game
came to close. In the last half of
the ninth inning the Seminary team
worked hard for an additional score
but Saterback in the box sent such
speedy balls. over the home plate that
all the batters could pound was the
air and this some of them hit hard
and often.

HIGHER PUBLIC STANDARDS.

The Advertiser takes pride in the
fact that no one is being seriously
thought of for any judicial post in
Hawaii who is nc. highly qualified for
it. Such an end crowns the work of a
paper which, for years past, has bat
tied. at much personal sacrifice, for a
pure judiciary. When one contrasts
the Hawaiian judiciary as it was or
ganized nearly four years ago and as
it promises to be organized hereafter.
the change to be seen in the standards
of selection is remarkable. In 1900 the
local public was indifferent, the bar
was far from vigilant and the Depart
ment of Justice at Washington was
asleep: hence a GaIbraith, a Little, a
Humphreys and a Gear. This trium-
virate the Advertiser hammered upon
month by month and year by year I'M
til it was broken; and it cannot be
very long before the last vestige of the
judiciar ring will disappear. That
there may never be another one is a
hope which the public, that has been
well-grounded in judicial ethics during
the past few years, undoubtedly shares
with the Advertiser.

BreathIessness.

The runner who sets out on two
mile race usually passes through two
distinct stages of exhaustion. In the
first quarter, if the pace be fast. he
feels the first symptoms of breathless-
ness-the throbbing temples. the surg
ing in the ears and the tightness about
the chest that makes so many men
drop out before completing half the dis
lance. This might be called acute ia
tigue; but if he can keep on, the distress
passes away. The heart and lungs
work a little harder, and at last sue
coed in catching up with their task
of purifying the increased stream of
sewage brought to the lungs by the
blood. to be carried off in the form of
gases by respiration. The distress dis
appears from the face, the lungs seem
to regain the power to expand and a
crushing weight appears to have been
lifted from the chest. The head be-
comes clear. and the muscles act with
renewed vigor and elasticity. The man
has got his second wind.-Outing.

FOLLOWING THE RITUALIsTs.

FOLLOWING THE RITUALISTS.
LONDON, March Reconsideration
has been caused in British Noncon-
formist circles by a speech of Robert
w. Perks, Liberal member of Parlia-
ment for the Louth division of Lincoln
shire, delivered yesterday at the open
ing of a Methodist bazaar at Louth,
in which he vigorously criticised the
Rev. Reginald John Campbell minis
ter of the City Temple here. Both men
are pillars of Nonconformity, one of
them being practically the head of the
ministry and the other one of the most
prominent laymen. The two main
points of Mr. Perks attack were the
Rev. Mr.. CampbelPs recent presenta
ton at court by the Bishop of London.
and the projected surplicing of Mr..
Campbelrs choir of the City Temple.
'I was sorry" said Mr.. Perks, ''to
see a few days ago, when Mr.. Campbell
wished to go to court, that he asked the
Bishop of London to present him to
the King. What would have been said
in the days gone by if Puritan preach
ers, prosecuted not by Parliament, as
they are now, but by feeble Stuart
King. had asked Archbishop Laud to
present them to King Charles? Mr.
Campbell would have been far better
advised if he had asked the veteran
leader of Nonconformity, the Rev
James Guinness Rogers, to introduce
him to King Edward, instead of going
to a levee hanging to the apron-strings
of an Anglican Bishop.
Referring to the surphcing of the
men and women of the choir in gowns
and velvet caps, Mr.. Perks said:

see is Mr.. Campbell marching around
the aisles of the City Temple. follow

dsacons behind. These are days when
