SKY HAS AN EFFECT

Baseball Players Claim 1t Is

what all ballplayors say. and they ought
TO know. SO the clear sky, or high sky, Is
their pet aversion.
The source OF this information Is Willie
Keeler, a Dallpiayer par excellence and an
authority not to be doubted. He said the

white clouds floating about and relieving
the eye Of the simmer that Is attendant
upon an unsullied expanse OF ccruloan. He
did not use those words but that Is what
he meant. These clouds are so eagerly
looked for and so welcome TO banplayers
that the latter have apty dubbed them
angels" Tough day, today, Bill: no
angels out" is common expression
among ballplayers coming on the field.

White Lace Gowns

White lace gowns are extremely fash
ionaole and are made with both nounced
and plain skirts. Crepe de chine and a new
weave Of satin are also used for house and
theatre gowns. and although the former
material is said to be old-fashloned. IL
seems to be in constant demand. Gowns
made Of lace and cloth combined are new.
although the fashion was introduced last
summer. An exceedingly smart model is
Of pale gray net, the upper part of the
skirt heavily appliqued with lace TO
match and the lower part composed Of
tucks Of gray cloth with feather stitching
as finish. The body OF the waist is of the
lace ever tucked net, and the sleeves have

and wide bias rufnes OF net at the ell

What Doctors Make

There are about 100000 doctors in the
United States or about one for every $50
people, says "a writer in Leslies Monthly.
1t has been approximately estimated that
the average yearly income of these men IS
$3.50. or that the public in the country pays
$l50000,0oO annually for medical attend
ance, omitting entirely the money spent
for patent medicines which brings mill

amounts spent for Doctors prescriptions.

The preparation for the practice of medi-
cine that gives a man a good standing

literally speaking 5000 for four years in
a reputable medical school. $1,000 for gen.
eral expenses during two years hospital
service. and perhaps another $1,000 for

She Breaks ENGAGEMENT

Socioiogists view with alarm the in
creasing tendency Of the English girl TO
ureat lightly the matrimonial engagement.
Are our young women emulating the
exa mple Of the American summer girl %
is the anxious and unanswered inquiry.
Whether or not the blame lodges on the
other side Of the Atlantic, the fact re-
mains that each year sees a lessening OF
the regard with which uhe English girl
holds her promise to mate, So far in the
opposite direction has she drifted that a
long striDg Of broken alliances OF the
heart has come to be regarded as an ac-
comphshment leading to distinction.

Government every chance
AT p. m. yesterday Judge Robinson
resumed the hearing of the matter of
confirmation OF the sale under fore
closure of a ranch in South Kona, in
the suit of H. Hackfeld & Co., Ltd, VS..
W. C. Achf and others. H. E. Cooper
appeared for the plaintiff and D. L.
wilmington and C. w. Ashford for the
contesting defendants.
J. NJ. Monsarrat's examination was
concluded, after which W. G. Achi was
called for the contestants. His evil
dence was intended to show that the
lands were sold below their true value.
Nearly every question was the subject
of objection and exceptions were noted
to almost every ruling. When Mr..
Achf told what he paid for u certain
tract Mr.. Cooper queried, That's when
you got ahead of the Governments"
Everybody got ahead of the Cow
eminent the witness replied; Il would
do it every time I got the chance"
Most of Mr.. Achi's testimony was
struck out on motion of Mr.. Cooper.
The defendants had no further testi-
mony to produce excepting that of the
record in another foreclosure case.
Mr.. Cooper moved then for a con-
firmation of the sale. He said that Mr..
Monsarrat in closing his evidence was
unable TO suggest the name of any
person who would likely have been a
purchaser for higher price than that
obtained. The maps showed peculiar
condition of the lands which was not
attractive to investors. 1t was clear
that nothing like the price paid by
Achi to Monsarrat could now be OBJ
tanned. The most difficult proposition
was presented to the man who pur-
chased that land. His (Mr. Cooper's)
own testimony was that most of the
cattle ranchmen of Kona attended the
sale. The court INTERCEPTED that Mr..
Monsarrat's own testimony was to the
same effect.
Counsel for defendants submitted the
case without argument.
Judge Robinson after some reflection
announced the motion granted as to
the sale and solicited advice on the
matter of expenses.
Mr.. Cooper submitted that if taxes
were included taxes for two years only ,
should be allowed. The Supreme Court |
had decided that taxes could not be |
claimed under foreclosure proceedings
where the tax assessor was not a party !
to the suit. Therefore he objected TO |
the allowance of taxes.
Messrs. Wilmington and Ashford !
united in giving notice of appeal from |
confirmation of sale.
Mr. Cooper discussed the expenses
with the court, quoting instances from
other recent cases. His Judgment was
that the commissioners fee should be
on account of the amount of services
rather than on the value of the prop
erty.
The court made the fee of the COM
missioner $500.
