SOUVENIR, THIEvERY.

Souvenirs are very nice things but
they seem to develop the trait OIL
covetousness. The forward tendency
of the spirit to get something for
nothing is natural to the AmeIi-
can people, the European people,
the Asiatic people and everybody
on the face of the earth. When
you give away something valuable the
recipient is naturally pleased with the
present, but if he gets in the habit of
having things presented to him he Will
soon begin to believe that everything
ought to be his. He sees little object
here or there that he considers of no
great value to the possessor. and If
he wants it, he slides it away in his
pocket when no one is looking.
He becomes sort of kleptomaniac
and does not resist the growing ten
dency on his part to become sneak
thief in limited and sort of amateur
ish way. The traveller VINO has this
failing is the one who benefits" most
and the hotels and the Pullman COM
pany are the fellows who are bitten
by him constantly. For as much as the
Pullman company is deserving of crit
icism it certainly has we'll grounded
grudge against the travelling public for
the loss of many pieces of soap and
towels. The soap is placed in the bowls,
wrapped and sealed, making q nice
souvenir of the trip, and the traveller
often thinks that it and the towel go
together, so deity slides them into
his bag
The hotels lose many of the same ar
ticles and often a piece of tableware,
If it is of exceptionally attractive quail
ity, and the most strenuous efforts on
their part are sometimes unavailing in
suppressing the evil. Spoons, salt cell
lars, pickle and oyster forks are among
the table equipment that often seems
to take wings and fly away.
Recently hotel was opened IN Kali
amazoo and 10000 people passed thru
the doors to inspect it. Visitors car
ried away such things as doilies, sheets
and other things which they found In
the bedrooms, claiming the things as
souvenirs. In the afternoon the maids
had to take loose things from the rooms.
II there had been no one around to re-
press the itching TO possess something
without payment we suppose marble
top washstands, wardrobes and even
bedsteads would have peen carried Off
as souvenirs
A new hotel in New York is $4,000 to
the bad on account of the grabbing
mania, and this in period of six
months. 1t has cost this hotel $1,000
month to replace stolen articles.
It would be good thing for the
hotel Keepers and for public decency
if they would take fiat stand on the
Souvenir question and prosecute Of
tenders without quarter. A brief cam
paign along this line would do more
to bring people to their senses than
warnings galore.

c. A. U. Resolutions.

W vs ~ W o0oVsAs'Ossos
1--WE condemn the violation of our
Sunday closing laws by saloon keepers
nominally Catholic.
1--WE condemn the disrespect by
Catholic saloon keepers toward the
teachings Of tho church with regard to
their trade.
I'VE prayerfully hope for the COM
plete elimination OF the saloon.
I'VE recommend the work of local
option.
I'VE recommend the work of all So
cieties that have for their object the
lessening of the evils resulting from
the liquor traffic.
I'VE condemn in unequivocal terms
the open saloon on Sunday.
1--WE unhesitatingly condemn the
candidate for public office who disre-
CARDS existing laws with respect to the
saloon.
1--WE recommend the teaching Of to-
tai abstinence in our parochial schools.
Thanks be to God for the radicals
and cranks! They are useful piece
of machinery for the uplift of the race.
1T would be right to blow up the
saloons of this country as public enc
mics If there were no other way to get
rid of them
These were some of the sentiments
expressed in resolutions adopted yes
terday at the thirty-seventh annual
convention of the Catholic Total Abb

Mr.. Bryan's salary as editor OF the

what do the dividends amount to? We

East Hampton, N. Y, who is believed
to be the foremost linquist of the
world.
Miss Cotton speaks forty languages
that is she has conversational ana

also made careful study of the re-
religious and philosophy in which each
of the different tongues and dialects Is
spoken.
Previous in Miss Colton's new rec

thirty three languages.
Miss Coltons list moreover, includes

include Chinese. Pal, Aveston, Sanscrit.

woman was following the occupation

became interested in the Oriental Ian

time to the acquisition of the different

The greatest tribute to her wonder

roots of the numerous eastern Ian

obtain a working knowledge OF any
single one is considered difficult task.

THE FIRST GAME.

Lappin got as far as third on Merv
Skaters sacrifice but Kennedy could
not reach first and Art was out by
Abes dramatic catch. Sasaki, Taxa
hama and Kanki followed each other
out in short order and the game showed
signs of being in the zip bang class.
Peters and Byrnes were both ont
irving to steal second in the second
inning and Freine could not reach first.
When the Keios went in both KOyama
and Abe were out before there seemed
any chance of scoring. Fukuda was
on second and Murakami on his way
TO first Then Merv threw badly to
first, Broderick missed it and Fukuda
shot for home while Murakami went
on towards second. Broderick recover
ed and sent to Art Shafer who made
bad shot in sending on to third, this
gave Murakami his chance and he also
ran in. Then Higo famed and the
Japs were ahead by two tallies.
In the next inning the Santa Clara
bows evened up. Broderick walked as
did Salburg hit by a ball. Lappin was

RACE WON
BY MAKAALA


Makaala, the black gelding ridden by
Domingo Ferreira, ran away from Wa
tossa, the chestnut gelding ridden by
PLAYA in the quarter mile dash match
race held yesterday afternoon at Homo
uliuli
The black wonder opened up on his
rival all the way down the stretch
and there was a four-length gap be-
tween them when they passed the
judges.
From some unknown reason Willis
did not ride Watossa. Some of the
spectators expressed their opinions that
more able riding would have secured a
victory for the light colored horse. Ev-
erybody agreed, however, that Ferre-
ira rode good race and jumped his
horse into the lead very cleverly.
There is to be another match race
tomorrow at Kapiolani Park between
Gays bay gelding Sunrise and the bay
mare Leah Girl, the pride of Leah
farm, over a three-eighths of mile
course. Each horse will carry 120 lbs.
and the owners have made purse of
$500 for the winner, each wagering
5000 on the chances of his favorite.
There is a good deal of local excite
ment over this race and many wagers
are reported to have been made on the
result. The starter will send the racers
off at about $50 p. III. and there will
doubtless be a large crowd to witness
the race Ferreira will ride Leah Girl
and Willis will be up on Sunrise.

stood up and singled just hard enough
to allow both men to reach home.

We're of the short and sharp variety
and the quickness and keenness of the
playing of both sides pleased the fans
nightly. Then Freine started things
| in the eighth by reaching second on
Sasaki' s error. But it looked as though
the start was false alarm for both
he and Broderick were out by very
, clever double play by Takahama and
Abe. Then Kilburn, who had taken
Salburg' s place, singled. Lappin did
the same and reached second ON the
throw to third where Kilburn was safe.
Then Sasaki made a costly error that
put Merv Shafer safe at first and both
Kilburn and Lappin home. \ Then Merv
stole second and reached home on an
other of those timely swats by Ken
nedy. This put the Santa Claras three
to the good and they handed out four
more in the ninth.
The Keios two runs in the ninth
were made by Takahama and Fukuda.
The former reached home and the lat
ter third on as pretty double steal
as has ever been seen on the diamond,
Then Kovama hunted and Kilbun did
not know where to throw. while he
was hesitating Fukuda romped. The
detailed score is:

st. Louis VS.. Santa Ciaras.
Diamond. Heads VS.. Keios.

If expectation does not receive an
other fat plump in the Solar Plexus
as it did yesterday, we shall see two
hummers at the park this afternoon.
The St. Louis team has been practising
hard all the week for their go with the
Santa Claras and they feel confident
that they can put hole in the list
of victories piled up by the visitors.
The second game Will certainly be
interesting for the little men from
Japan have played such a consistently
good game all through that any game
in which they take part is worth
watching. The Diamond Heads are
crippled but they have the right spirit
if they will give it a little encourage
ment and we are likely to see one thun-
dering fine exhibition Of ball this af-
ternoon
