Thos. F. Ryan, who stands in the
front rank of his class, on the ad-
vice of his physician has quit the
game Of frenzied finance. At least
he says he has, to the extent of CIV
ing up directorships in all but three
of the forty odd stock companies in
control Of which he has been act
i've. 1t is true these aggregate a
billion of securities and cash
properties. Mr.. Ryan is entitled
to a rest he is credited just now
with having contributed more than
any one of the chieftains of the
predatory rich,'' in making the
stock market the Augean cess pool
that Gov. Hughes has appointed
commission to clean up. Starting
in trade, at the bottom of the lad
der, forty years ago, this Virginian
financier is said to have amassed a
million for each one of his fifty odd
years. -Vicksburg Herald

The whiskey element is making a
great cry about the large amount
of property that will be rendered
nor. productive and thus be practi-
cally destroyed in case Statewide
prohibition prevails in this State.
They do not mention the many mil
lions of dollars that are worse than
wasted and the many homes and
lives that are wrecked by the sale
of whisky Money weighs nothing
when placed in the balance against
life and home. Their cry is not
worthy of notice or consideration.

The town Of Fayette is again
without water service, due to some
imperfection or breakdown in the
pumping apparatus. The situation
for the future of the municipal
light and water plant is quite
serious, with the probability of a
permanent shutdown of the entire
plant. No purchaser for the bonds
which the City Administration
offered for sale or Dec. 18 having
yet appeared, the authorities are
practically without funds to make
necessary repairs on the plant.

The prohibition Democrats who
favor a State law and a few prohi-
bition Republican members, united
and organized both branches of the
Tennessee Legislature against the
liquor wing of the Democracy head
ed by Gov. Patterson. AS a result,
it looks very much like Tennessee
will soon follow Mississippi, Ala

into the prohibition column.

It is not every fool who can make
a crop. Good farming is splendid
science and demands not only
steady work but high order of
brains. In some seasons nature is
SO generous that the sluggards and
dirt scratchers are abreast with
wise and industrious farmers in
results, but such accidents are
rather set-backs than advantages to
country. Aberdeen Examiner.

some English pointers by the Maltura
from Victoria. b. c., and now has
them at his home, where they are at
tracting considerable interest. All
three were winners in the last bench
show over there, in which there were
231 entries. Undoubtedly they will do
much to improve the pointer stock of
the Islands.
The coats OF these dogs are very
smooth and glossy-almost like silk.
The color is a pretty combination of
brown and white.
Following are the names of the dogs
and the prizes taken by them:

BIG
BASEBALL GAMES

Two places viii hold the baseball
tomorrow afternoon, namely,
Aala park and the league grounds IN
Kamoilii At the former will occur
the games between the Alohas and
Aalas. at 1880 and at $3.50 the Fort
Skaters will try conclusions with the
Paamas.
The first of these games will be a
hot number The fierce ball put up
by the Aalas in the first series will be
well remembered Last Sunday, how
ever the Alohas played game like
professionals. It is likely, however,
that some of their players will be an
sent tomorrow, in which tpse the
game may be anybodys. The Marines
play at the league grounds in the
afternoon and the several Marines In
the Aloha team will not likely risk the
strain of a ripping preliminary at Aala
Park
The second Rame-Paamas VS.. Fort
Shafter-is a doubtful number If the
soldiers play as well as they did in
/ y
| good chance of winning But III
they fall down from that standard
they will surely be beaten. The Pa
lamas are a seasoned bunch, well onto
the fine points Of baseball; and they
have battery second to few.
The batting lists of three of the
four teams at Aala park will be:
Alohas-Brito, c; Hines and Gibson

The big league grounds in Kamoi-
liili will be thrown wide open to the
public for the games in honor of the
officers and men of the visiting Japa-
nese ships of war. Admission will
be/free to everybody The band from
the Japanese flagship will supply mu-
sic.
The games at the league grounds
will be the C. A. C. VS.. Asahis, at 1870
The former is all Chinese. but the
latter is Japanese principally in name
the players being made up of different
nationalities. The next game, start
ing at $3.50, will be between the regular
Japanese team of the Oahu Baseball
League and the Marines. AS not all OF
the regular Marine team will be able
to play, this may turn out to be an
interesting go.

Today the polo season will be-
gin with the big game between the
Honolulu and Fifth Cavalry players at
Leilehua. While not tournament or
championship affair, the contest will
be fought out for all there is in it i,
and will uncover the weakness or
strength of the respective teams. AS
there have been no tryouts hitherto
this year any opinion in regard to
today $ results must be taken for
guess work.
Visitors to Leilehua for the game
left on the 9:15 trans this
morning. This will give them until 2
p m. at Leilehua, affording hne
chance to look over the cantonmsnt.
The game, which will begin at 2, will

ATHLETIC PARK MAY
OPEN JULY FOURTH

An important meeting of the promo
tiers of the new Athletic Park in Aaa
will be held at o'clock this afternoon
at which a time definite will be set for
the opening of the park and baseball
grounds. The last decision was to
have the opening on July Is, but later
developments have been such as to
make it desirable perhaps, to open on
July Fourth
1t happens that there is very little
set for the Glorious Fourth in the way
of sports, and it is believed that a
monster crowd could be gotten out
for the opening of so elaborate pro-
position as the new athletic park wilt
be. In order to get ready, there would
have 20 be all kinds of work done at
| once. The pack would have to be
rolled thoroughly and over time would
have to be put in on the bleachers,

] thusiasts among the promoters) would

man would be kept there all the time,
as it is proposed to provide day and
night programs OF different kinds.

evening, there will eventually be a

and dozens of other amusements. When
complete IL will be great place, fitted

WINNING CAR IN
GREAT AUTO RAGE

Did you read in the newspapers about
the Ford automobile winning the great
transcontinental race from New York
to Seattle, distance of $500 miles in
only twenty two days? The Schuman
Carriage Company tell about it to-
day i'm their advertisement.
The champion car was not built for
racing purposes. 1t is the same car
offered for sale by the Schuman garage
in Honolulu, and which may be seen
on the streets every day. The race
proved to the whole world the superior
ity of the Ford machine in the follow
ing vital points: First, the material
used in the structure throughout, lend
ing it its wonderful power of endur-
ance. Second, the ease with which
the car could he handled, enabling its
driver to save invaluable time; and
third, it's plain, straight, positive show
of SPEED.
Add to these all important qualifi-
cations the still more important one OF
! ECONOMY, and you have the FORD
