1cient for the day would use up all of
ones surplus energy.
AS the Samoans are Of simple and
childlike disposition, their amusements
partake of the same character and it
takes but little to delight them. Base
ball has not found it's way thither, even
with the advent of the American, but
cricket is their most popular game
There is but little difference made be-
tween the sexes in these fOwery isles,
SO that the fairer portion of the COM
munity joins with equal fervOr in the
games. Cricket or cri-keet, as they term
it, is hardly played according to standard
rules. To begin with, instead of II on a
side there may be any number from
10 to so, or double that number, often
one village of so or 100 playing against
another village of perhaps only Is or 20.
There is no hard feeling, however, and
all the bystanders applaud. The game
sometimes runs on for two or three
days, but is evidently just as interesting
in the last contest as in the beginning.
Some enterprising trader has made a
neat sum from the introduction of mar
bles. This fascinating pastime struck
most responsive chord in the tropic
breast for wherever you go you see
groups Of men, women and children
standing about in excited groups or
kneeling at the game. 1t is most anus
ing to see stalwart chief come strutting
by, and catching sight of some favorite
opponent, stop, produce a handful of
marbles from the folds of his loin cloth
and squatting upon the ground enter
into the game with all the zest of the
10year-old.
1t frequently happens that the players
will congregate in such numbers in the
public thoroughfare that the native po-
lice will come up, conf1scate some of the
| marbles and disperse the crowd. l was
quite interested with the promptness
with which he attended to this duty IN
til one day l discovered him with few
of his cronies having quiet little game
with the confiscated marbles. There is

SHAFT SOLD FOR TAXES.
Monument Erected to Major Andre In
New York State May Become
Property Of the County.

A monument erected by the late
Cyrus w. Field at Tappan, N. Y, to
the memory of Maj. Andre, has been
sold for the nonpayment Of taxes. The
monument stands on Andre hill, over
the spot where the British officer was
buried after he was hanged.
Since the death of Mr.. Field, taxes
on the plot of ground, 100 feet square,
have accrued In the sum of $6.3S. The
plot finally was put up with other
property by the treasurer of Rockland
county and, as there were no bidders,
he boughtit in. If not redeemed with
in a certain time the shaft of stone
will pass out of the hands of the Field
family and become the permanent
property of Rockland county.
Andre was hanged October 2, 1850.
Forty-one years later the body was re-
moved from Tappan and buried with
honors in Westminster abbey. In 1873
Dean Stanley visited Cyrus W. Field,
and the latter caused the spot to be
marked: Gas a token OF those better
feelings which have united two ma
tons"
In 1882, and again three years later,
unknown persons partially destroyed
the shaft with dynamite, but it was
restored and since then remained un-
disturbed.

Rev. Mr.. Osborne, according to the New

Spinks family. Nevertheless, and In spite
of pouring rain, Mr.. Spinks prepared fos

But it's storming dreadfully."

Spinks, Il don't care hang for missions.
But the annual collection for the heatheR
will be taken to-day, and if | put i've

POLICEMEN FIGHT RATS.
Rodents Driven from Sewers Seek
Refuge on the Steps OF Sta
ton House.

Policemen with drawn clubs recently
fought a sanguinary bottle with an
army of big sewer rats on the steps of
he Trenton avenue and Dauphin street
police station in Philadelphia.
1t was a curious feature of terrific
storm one afternoon. The downpour
had flooded all the sewers in that sec
ton of the city and two scores Of rats
big, ferocious denizens OF the city's
underground avenues-were forced to
the surface.
They sought shelter on the street,
only to find the payements and cutters
dush viii water. Plunging madly
through the miniature flood, the rats
sought a shelter and the most availa-
Die roint Of vantage was the high steps
If The station house.
Here they backed up, apparently
waiting for the storm to blow over. 1t
was just before the six o'clock roll call,
when the bluecoats report to the sta
ton for night instructions.
When the first corners reached the
steps they saw the rats. The rats
showed fight. and the policemen waited
for reinforcements. As soon as a good
sized squad had gathered, the men
drew their clubs and blackjacks and
charged in body.
1t was a short, but ferocious strug-
gle. The rats. driven in a corner
fought viciously and the clubs played
right and left. The end Of the encoun.
ter was the death of most Of the ro-
dents, whose bodies were cast back
INTO the sewers that had been their
.bode.

games go happily on.
Across from the hotel is large native
hut which contains several generations
and seemingly untold visitors and rela
tives Here all sorts of games are hourly
in progress, but the most interesting is
that played by the hoary-headed grand
sires. Two old wrinkled men will sit
for hours over game of small stones,
similar to that youthful delight, Jack
stones" Here also may be seen nearly
every day an old man crouched opposite
to an equally old tremendously fat
woman and with little knife they will
play mumbly-peg for hours.
1t is the most delightful thing to see
old and young living on common basis
everything, even to the games in tn
street, being shared alike.
