The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1904-05-07

A heavy downpour of rain stop
ped the New IbeIia-Abbevill,
ball game in the first half of the
fourth inning last Sunday after
noon, at the New Iberia Base Bal
Park, and undoubtedly robbed
the locals of another victory.
When the heavy rain set in, q
few minutes after o'clock, the
Iberia's were seven runs "tO the
good.' Their opponents had not
succeeded in bringing in a single
run. Umpire Fred Schwing
called the game on account of rain
and all bets were declared
OF.
Abbeville was crippled to no
little extent, due to an accident
which befell their old reliable
backstop-Paul A. Escudier-who
injured his fingers in such a man
ner that it was impossible for him
to "get into the gamc' and assist
his team mates in endeavoring to
score victory. This neccessited
the use of a local man behind the
bat for the visitors, and Cleveland
Dupuy was finally induced to fill
the position for the Vermilion-
ties. While he did his best, Du-
puy was not in the best of trim
and his work was anything but
good. In the second inning, Joe
Cordova replaced Dupuy as re-
ceivor, and Immediately the visit
ors braced up and played better
ball.
Abbeville was first at bat. They
exerted every effort to score, bat
failed, due to the fast work of our
boys, although ore little single
would have brought about such a
result.
lii their half Of the first inning
the locals started off the fire
works without any hesitation
whatsoever, and when the smoke
cleared away there were six runs
to their credit; mainly due to
errors, dumb playing ard wild
throws on The part of their oppo-
nents.
Second inning resulted in slmi-
lar manner for the visitors as the
first. 1t was impossible for them
to get beyond the third bag. Our
boys brought in another run in,hls
inning.
Third inning was played 10 short
order; nett side scoring.
Fourth inning was well under
way when The elements intervened
and put a stop to further pro-
ceeding, with the score reading Z
to CO., in favor of the crack
Iberia's.
Eddie Terrell, "Irish," toed the
slab for the home team. AS
usual, he was in fine trim to pitch
a winning game and was doing
some very clever and effective
work; being well supported by
Captain Cab LeB anc behind the
bat and both the infield and out
field; when the game was brough,
to a rather sudden and abrupt
close.
On the other hand "Southpaw'
Frank GiOza was "right there
with the goods" and fully demon
strated his ability as Fl st-class
twirler; Notwithstanding the poor
support which he received. Had
Escadier been in condition to as
sumo his regular position as
catcher, there is no doubt but
that the contest would have mar
rowed down to a pitchers battle
between Gioza and Terrell. AS

A highly anfmating story worthy of

During the hard-fought battle, Major

WANTS A CITY
CHARTER FIRST

Editor Advertiser: Would it not be
better for the County Commission ap-
pointed by the Governor to draft a
city charter for Honolulu and Hilo.
giving those two cities full control of
ali of the different branches of govern
ment within their limits, such as
schools, water works. health police,
fire department, etc.: also providing
for a mayor and board of aldermen to
be elected by the people? Would it not
be better to do that and let the out
side districts remain as they are until
such time as it would be prudent and
possible to frame a county government
tory to the majority of the taxpayers?
Honolulu needs public improvements
that will be slow to get until it is in
corporated as city with power to
issue bonds and maintain its public
streets, as they should be. Not only
the streets but all branches of public
works within the city limits would be
improved. 1t is not necessary to MAIN
tain a board of alderman at a high
salary for each member of the board
They should be paid only for time
served. It is far more important that
should have city government
than to have q county government that
will be burden to the taxpayers and
a refuge for political job-chasers.
Yours respectfully,

SEALED ORDERS
Given Fart Of the Baltic Squadron,
and 1t Sails st Once.

ST. PETERSBURG, July s.-A dfvi-
sion of the Baltic squadron will sail
from Cronstadt July % under sealed
orders. Complete mystery enshrouds
its destination. 1t is said. although
nothing is certain on this point. that
the orders for the division viii be
opened at five-day intervals.
Whether the warships are bound at
once to the far East in advance of the
other ships may depend upon naval
developments at the seat of war. but
there are attending circumstances
which make it seem unlikely that the
division will start on its long Journey
until the other ships are ready.
1t is understood that the division will
include the armored cruiser Admiral
Nakhimof. the battle ship OsIiabi
the protected cruiser Aurora and the
battle ship Alexander III. and possibly
the battle ship Navarian and the
transport Kamtchatka. Great stacks
of charts were put on board the Ad-
miral Nakhimoff. the Osrfab ia and the
Aurora yesterday.

The Forester and Agriculturist urges
that more care be used in the handling
of bananas for shipment. Owing to
rough usage many of the punches ar
rive at San Francisco in a damaged
state and are sold in wagons on the
streets for price which leaves nothing
to the producer. They do these things
better in Jamaica where each bunch de-
livered at a ship is carried in mans
arms from the delivery cart as if it
were fragile and inspected carefully be-
fore it goes aboard.

MIR. Strauch, it appears. held his re
organization meeting in Star cham
Der. The statements made elsewhere
in this paper by Bernard Kaleikolo,
throw strong light into the devious
methods of the Home Purchase" pro-
motor who, it appears, has beguiled
about 800 people to pay him 81 per
month each. Here is an income of
$1,000 O. month or about $500 a week in
return for which Strauch guarantees
absolutely nothing and, SO far as his
business has gone, gives nothing ex-
cept a contract which has the empty
air behind it. There ought to be a
legal way of reaching and frustrating
such schemes as this.

DEALING WITH STRIKERS.

The strong stand taken by the
oahu plantation people against the
Japanese strikers viii be appreciated
by other planters throughout the ISL
ands 1t was needed. Compromise is
only a success between men of intelli-
gence and sobriety of character and it
is rarely venturable where one of the
parties at interest is ignorant and
prejudiced. The plantation coolie is
the lowest type of the Japanese race;
ne is quite another being from the
Japanese one meets in a business and
professional way here in the city.
Offer him a compromise and he re-
CARDS it as a sign of fear; yield to his
demands and he thinks he is the mas
ter and makes new demands: use the
strong hand and he recognizes the
power to which, from inmemorial
times, he has abjectly bowed There is
one word which holds the lower class
es of every nation in check and that is
Authority. 1t is the only word in the
lexicon that fits their case. Such peo-
pie are mentally and morally incapable
of giving as well as taking and ar-'i
irving at a fair conclusion on any con-
troverted point Their duties must be |
fixed and their tasks set for them.
with the Japanese plantation coolies, |
ignorance is added to cockyness. The
war has given them a certain con-
tempt for the white race They think
that they can do about as they please
here and do not even accept the con-
frary assurance of their consul. Hence
the determined course of the planters
is the only one that can prove effective.
In the Waipahu settlement the plant
ers determined first to discharge all
the strikers under an agreement that
other plantations should not take them
on. This brought the strikers to time.
They had expected surrender instead.
After that it did not take much persu-
aston by japanese leaders from this
city to get them back to their work
Such reasonable grievances as they !
had will be referred to the Planters Z

window ls Said to be One of the Finest Ever
Placed in a Church In This Section

A beautiful window, one of Tiff
work in glass, has been placed III the
south wall of the Congregational
church building as a memorial to Mr..
Edward Balm. On the one panel is
the full re Of the Christ with the
inscription underneath ssCome unto
me all We that 1abour and are heavy
laden and will give you rest On
the other of the two panels is the full
figure of Charity, and beneath these
words, "And now abideth Faith,
Hope and Charity; but the greatest
of these is Charity" The rich hues
Of the blossoms at the feet of the fig
ures, the golden light in the sky, the
1uxuriant foliage over head, all com
bine to give charm and a deep i'm
pressiveness which one remembers
long after passing from their pres
ence. Such an art piece can hardly
fail to inspire the worshipper with
reverence and devotion and so great
1y enhance the value of the service
and in a large degree enrich it's spirit.
The placing of the window has been
done without amy announcement to
the members of the church. It is a
fitting memorial to the life of the
famous Kenosha wagon maker and
his son. During his life time Mr..
Balm took the greatest interest in the
advancement of the interests of the
First Congregations church. He al
ways contributed literally to the sup
port of the church and was ever a
leader in all the plans to better the
condition of the congregation. It has
required many months to make the
splendid window but it is stated that
it is one of the finest pieces of art
work ever sent out by the famous
New York establishment. The win
dow is attracting a great deal Of
attention.

Mrs. Betsy Ripley, a Pioneer Of the
Town Of Salem, Met Death in Awfu!
Manner Wednesday Evening.
SHE SUFFERS INHUMAN TORTURE
Mrs. Ripley Fell While Carrying Lighted
Lamp and the Burning Oil Was Poured
All Over Her-Death Causes Sorrow

Mrs. Betsey Ripley, widow of the
late Samuel Ripley and a pioneer resi-
dent Of the town of Salem, was burned
to death at the home of her son,
Everett Ripley, half mile south of
Salem station, just before II o'clock
Wednesday night. The accident was
one of the most frightfu1 that ever
occurred in the county.
Mrs. Ripley had retired for the
night, but shortly before the accident
occurred her son heard her leave her
room and walk towards the pantry of
the house. She stopped in one of the
bed rooms and picked up small
lamp to light the way. Just as the
aged lady went into the pantry she
slipped and fell. The lamp dropped
to the floor and an explosion followed
Immediately. The burning oil was
poured all over the PROSTATE form of
Mrs. Ripley and before she could
move from the place her clothing was
in flames. Her cries brought the son to
the pantry and when he arrived the
flames had been carried to every
portion of ,his mothers clothing.
With presence of mind, the son made
an effort to put out the flames, but
before the flames were extinguished
Mrs. Ripley had been burned and
oharred in terrible manner.
The other members of the house
hold were called and the injured
woman was carried tender1y to her
room. She suffered almost inhunan
torture from great burns all over her
body. Her hair was burned from her
head, while the cruel flames had
burned her arms and face until the
flesh all but fell off the bones. The
members of the family did everything
in their power to relieve the lady's
suffering, and as soon as possible
doctor was called. Mrs. Ripley lived
only twenty minutes after the acct
dent.
The flames were extinguished be-
fore the house was badly damaged.
The announcement of the terrible
accident caused profound sensation
in the town as Mrs. Ripley was we'll
known. She was seventy-six years
of age, and had lived in the town of
Salem for many years:
Two children survive, Everett Rip
ley and Mrs. Albert Turnock, both
residents of the town of Salem.
