Honolulu, June considerable atten-

poster which has appeared in Hilos As

government proposes to retaliate for the
American exclusion policy and that the

goods with a death penalty for VIOLA
tion of the order and will proceed to
have Americans who enter China fumi-
gated at the Port of Entry and charged

baseball English.

The base ball writer writes for those
who understand bis linguistic yagaries
and revel in the seeming confusion or
his complex phraseOlOgy. He is the
journalistic lance who denies the right
of precedent and rides rough shOd over
the stickler for literary finish. He
knows his readers, and they know him.
When he says, tinker led off for the
Cubs and ozoned," every legitimate,
thirty-third degree "fan" grasps i'm
mediately the graphic picture thus
painted. Let the baseball writer alone.
In his very frenzied philOlOgy he con-
tributes vivid and refreshing contrast
TO the monOtOnous news pages and the
wearying precision Of the nice, round
editorial sentences. And we who also
write for a living must confess to a
sneaking admiration for his holiness,
bis originality and the easy familiarity
of his style.-Kansas City Journal.

Splitting of Churches.

Division is not bad thing IN ITSELF
All living things grow by division
Churches, live churches, follow the
same law. but the simple division OF the
cell into two equal, similar and indie
pendent cells is confined to the lowest
branch Of the animal and vegetable
kingdoms. 1t is in church history as
II is in natural history. When we find
on opposite sides of the road two little
white churches exactly alike, except
that the steeple is on the north ehd
OF one and on the south end OF the
other, we know it belongs to the prOto-
zoan period of ecclesiastical develop
ment. We have OutgrOwn the stage
OF the multiplication Of churches by the
primitive processes Of splitting, seces-
sion and recession. Even in Scotland,
where the process was formerly most
active until a church was reduced to
"me and Sandy" with doubts as to
the latter's orthodoxy the tide has
turned and the churches are reunit-
ing.-Century.

In spite of the standing jokes about

every dollar spent on the weather
bureau ten are saved. At the

S15,OOO,O0O worth Of live stock and
other property were saved as a result
OF warnings issued a week ahead. Sig

with their cargoes, at $20,OOO,O00. The
West Indian stations, established in
1893, inform us of hurricanes as soon
as they begin. The course of the hur-
ricane that caused the Galveston food
was charted for week before it struck
our shores-for hurricanes move slow

A TALE OF TWO SCOUTS.
Narrow Escape From Rather ana
m Rand of Indians.


Band of Indians.
In CYRUS Townsend Brady's Indian
Fights and Fighters" is a tale OF two
scouts, Trudeau and Stllwen, VINO
carried to General Carpenter through
an Indian infested country the news
that Major Forsyth was being besieged
in the sands Of Beecher's island by q
thousand warriors. Here Is one Incl
dent Of their journey:
During this day large party or
scouting Indians halted within 100 rect
of the wallow where the scouts were
hiding simultaneously with their ar
rival a wandering rattlesnake made its
appearance in front Of the two scouts
who were hugging the earth and ex-
pecting every minute to be discovered
"In his way the rattlesnake was as
deadly as the Indian. The scouts
could have killed him easily had 1t not
been for the proximity Of the Chey'
ennes. To make the slightest move
ment would call attention TO their hid
ing place. Indeed, the sinister rattle
of the venomous snake before he struck
would probably attract the notice OF
the alert Indians. Between the say
age reptile and the savage men TIC
scouts were in a frightful predicament
which young Stillwell, lad OF amaz
ing resources, instantly and efectuaiiJ
solved.
"He was chewing tobacco at the
time, and as the snake drew near hin
and made ready to strike Stillwel
completely routed him by splitting to
bacco Juice in bis mouth and eyes anC
all over his head. The rattlesnake fed
He could not stand such a dose. Tn
Indians presently moved on, having
noticed nothing, and so ended perhaps
the most terrible half hour the two
men had ever experienced"
