DOM PAUL WAS
THE PITCHER

The game played between the n. G.
IL. and the Twentieth boys at Moanalua
last. Sunday was won by the former
Z to and not 5 to 8. Telephones are
to blame for the injustice of two runs
done to the local boys who certainly
put up magnificent game.
Here are some details of the game
that have come in since: Scorer, Ho
Tong; umpire, David Desha; N. G.. H.
Hneuu: Desha, If; Eastern, 1b; Lemon
IS; Chillingworth, 3b; Lota, eff; Sum

Oakley, C; Ellis, If; Lemme, 3b; Me
Call, IS; Laftte, IF; Gongle, eff; Gum,
1b; Ramsay, 2b; Moran, p.
The winners scored three in the first,
one in the seventh and three in the
ninth. The losers made one each in the
third, fourth and sixth. Sergeant Bar
ry is now waiting for challenge from
viii Prestidge What no! A fat chance
for the Prestidge bunch.
After the game there were field
events. The tug of war was won by
the Twentieth Infantry who took a
box of for di maduro tuggerinos for
a prize. Dom Paul then shone for a
few moments by winning the hundred
yard dash. The 220 was won by Bill
Rice.
The pie-eating contest was won by
a regular who remarked "We can eat
pie if we can't play ball" His prize
was. two more pies and he surrendered
them to some of his fellow soldiers who
had less ballast aboard than he.

STRANGE FAKE
ABOUT MUREX
Oil-Tanker Has No Nitrates in
Her Hold---Has $500
Tons of Oil.

There was great wonderment on the
waterfront yesterday when the after
noon paper containing the story about
the alleged warliks cargo on the
British oil tank Murex, appeared on the
street. How strange, unused the old
salts, who keep tab on the doings along
the front. How very strange, indeed,
that we should know nothing whatso-
ever about this cargo of destructive
material on board the Murex. Niter,
Ell? To be made into gunpowder by the
bloodthirsy japanese. Well, well,
welli''
And the aforesaid old salts thought,
for all Of their musing, that something
must be fshy about such a weird and
wonderful tale. So they investigated.
The truth of the matter is that the
Murex has not pound of inter for
cargo, that she has no saltpeter, and
that her cargo is composed entirely of
$500 tons of petroleum in the crude
form. The Murex is an oil-tank, she is
built for the oil trade, and, according
to the officers of the ship yesterday, it
will be strange day when she has
inter, or saltpeter for her freight con-
signment.

For Coal and Orders.

Twenty-three days from the port of
Lobitos, in Peru, which is about 4S00
miles from this port, the British steamer
arrived here On the eve of Washington S
birthday after a fair passage. There
were no storms to speak of, although
the vessel met a strong northeast wind
a good deal of the time. She came to
Honolulu for coal and for orders. Other
than that he is to take his cargo of
crude petroleum to Japan, the master
OF the ship has not as yet received def
mite orders, and he probably will not
know what port on the coast of Japan
he is bound for until short time be-
fore sailing from Honolulu.

Lonely Lobitos in Peru.

Lobitos, Peru, the port from which
the Murex came to Honolulu, is about
as lar from Nowhere as any place pos
slbly could be, according to the men
on the ship. 1t never rains there, and
consequently there is absolutely no
grass or foliage to be seen. The Pc
troleum wells form the only excuse for
a town, though these spouting fountains
of oil sometimes makes things look a
little lively. The first officer on the
Murex told yesterday how test holes
were driven into the earth nearly a
quarter of a mile in order to determine
whether or not there were any flows
on the lower strata. About three hun
dred people live in Lobitos, al, en-
pioyes of the petroleum company.
! A Peruvian bullock, with long
spreading horns like those on a Texas
steer, is master Of all he can reach on
the deck Of the Murex. The animal,
which is strange looking, was brought
from South America on the British
boat to furnish fresh meat for the
mess. As yet the big fellow has not
been killed, and he snorts up and down
the length of his tether on the deck
Of the Murex.
Besides the officers and engineers of
the Mnrex. the crew is made up en-
tirely of Chinese.
The Inflated Fort George.
NEW YORK, February 6.-Failure
of the four-masted bark Fort George
to arrive at Honolulu, for which port
she sailed from New York July &c last,
or to have been spoken anywhere since
last August, has given rise to fears for
her safety. At the offices of her agent
here. D. B. Dearborn, it was stated to-
dav that while the bark had not been
given up for lost there were grounds
for anxiety regarding her. as she was
about two months overdue. and the last
heard form her was August 81 last,
when she was spoken IN latitude eleven
north. longitude twenty-five west. .
On board the vessel when she lett
here for her trip around the Horn were
can't. Fullerton and his wife and crew
of eighteen. She was laden with 2o0o
tons of general merchandise.

The Passing of the Old.

A seven-story warehouse will replace
st. Johns chapel on Varick street, one
of the oldest church edifices in New
York. This, at least, is the apparently
authoritative announcement made by the
Record and Guide, the official organ Of
the real estate interests of New York
The announcement of the alleged plans
has served to intensity the feeling
aroused by the determination of the YES.
try of Trinity parish to close the his
toric church. The action of the vestry-
men when it was nrst made public
brought forth a protest from the mem>
bers of st. johns parish. and a petition
signed by some of the most prominent
men in the nation, among them Presi-
dent Roosevelt, urging the maintenance
of the chapel if only for sentimental rea-
sons and as one of the historical land
marks of the city.

the hallway of her home at 632 Fifth

covery and descriptions of the stolen pir-

The result was that a stranger called
at the collectors house and arranged To
return the picture against payment of
the promised reward if no further ouas-
lions were asked. His terms were ne
copied, and on his producing the paint
ing, which fitted exactly into the opening
that had been cut out of the original
canvas, the stranger was paid his prom

afterwards, when one of the collectors
friends expressed doubt as to the au-
thenticity of the "Bordone," that the pic
ture was found out to be a COPY of the
stolen masterpiece.

THE KILL.

Black and white the face of night,
And roar the rapids TO the moon;
Dust of stars beyond the bars.
And mirthless laughter of the loon
Swirling blades through inky shades,
And gloomy shadows slipping by;
Clogging beds of arrowheads
And tagging spruce tops in the sky.
Rasping groans of birchen cones
Reanswering from shore to shore;
Through the hush the swapping brush
Then silence, and the stars once more.
Mutters slow, appealing low,
The throaty pleading of the bark;
Roar of might that rends the night
His body bulking through the dark.
Then the white, cruel tongue of light
Leaps stinging in his startled eyes;
Red and black the night falls back,
The rocking echo drifts and dies.

has drawn up protest against the plan
Of the national Lincoln Memorial at
Washington to cost $3,250,000 which
has found favor among congressional
leaders and is dubbed the Cannon plan.
The Institute proposes that the selection
of a design should be left to the direc-
ton of itself and the supervising archi-
tect of the treasury. President Roose-
velt leans toward the throwing of his
Influence in favor of the Institutes pro-

large that every precaution should be
