Fire Destroys Millinery Stock.

A fire breaking out In the Elite
Millinery Store in the Uglow building
yesterday morning destroyed practi-
cally all of the stock and fixtures and
damaged the building itself to a very
considerable extent. The flames were
discovered while Miss Reddekopp, the
proprietor Of the store, was absent,
and had gained considerable headway
before the alarm could be turned in.
After the arrival OF the firemen the fire
was easily brought under control and
extinguished. The damage to the
building is covered by no insurance
but the stock and fixtures were
insured for $500 which will in a large
measure cover the loss.

MAYORS REPLY.

To the city council and taxpayers OF
Dallas:
l have no answer to make to the
above statement further than to repeat
and to emphasize every assertion
made by me in my annual message to
the council. The figures set forth 10
that message are absolutely correct.
They were taken from the Treasurer's
report, and no amount OF juggling
can change them. That the city has
a floating Indebtedness, not covered
by bonds, to the amount OF S6S07.70,
We think none will have the hardihood
to deny. That every cent Of this
Indebtedness over and above the sum
OF 5000 was created 10 direct violation
OF the provisions Of the city charter,
We think none will dispute, after a
careful reading OF the following sec
tion Of our charter:
Section s5.-The indebtedness OF the
City Of Dallas shall never in the ag-
gregate exceed the sum OF i've thous-
and dollars. except by the Issuance OF

ROOM FOR ALL
SEATS FOR ALL
Athletic Park Management Is
Extending BIeachers and
Benches.

feature of the Sunday afternoon s
entertainment at the Athletic Park to-
morrow will be that everybody will get
a seat. Two bits or ten cents, dead
head or crawl over the fence. there
will be seat for everybody. During
the first two days of the ball games,
down at Kukui and Beretania, there
were so many fans who wanted to get
in that the reserved seat section over
slowed on to the bleachers and the
bieachers overfowed all round the dia-
mOnd.
Naturally enough the last overflow
had to stand up. But no more. The
reserved, or two-bit section has been
enlarged to accommodate all who have
the festive Gone quarter of dollar'
10 spend and, should the bleachers
groan too hard under the load that
it bears, there will be seats along the
sdelines reaching far off into the mys-
tie distance of the left field.
AS soon as possible the bleachers will
be extended from third base towards
Kukui street. Carpenters are hard at
work at the park but they have to get
the dressing rooms finished and the Ian
tern room fixed up. After that they
will turn their attention to additional
< b'eachers and will quit only when the
lumber market is cornered.
AS already stated, royalty, as repre-
scented by the King of Spain viii be
present tomorrow. In fact the double
of the man who married a British
princess for love, will twist himself into
sixteen different knots and twirl the
festive ball over the plate for the Japs.
Bill Espinda is this double of royalty
and anybody who ever saw him smile
when the game was going against him
would admit that he must have royal
blood in him. Athletic, tall, slender,
withal muscular. this handsome Span
lard is going to make the Marines sit
up and take nourishment about once
an hour.
There will be something to interest
the most lackadaisical fan in town.
And goodness knows there are plenty
of them. All four teams in the Oahu
League are tied They have each play
ed two games and won one and now
it is up to somebody to get the extra
per cent. !''Who is going to get it?''
This shall be answered tomorrow be-
tween the hours of 1880 and darkness.

DANNY ARCIA
TO BE BOOSTED

Now, who do you think is here?
Why, that Deep sleep Daniel. In other
words Danny Arcia is back from Maui
and nobody has asked him to play ball
as yet. Nobody is certainly very fool
ish for Danny is one of the real posi-
bilities of the islands.
One Of, if not the fastest. base run
ner on the islands, hard swatter at
the bat and a splendid out fielder,
Danny has given promise of showing
mainland league form as he grows
Older. Dan had chance two or three
times out at the league grounds, but
he got the awfullest stage-fright you
ever saw. His knees wobbied SO hard
that he could not have hit haystack
with a comet.
But that does not say that Danny is
not there. He is there and the writer
believes him to be one of the coming
baseball cracks. Danny is conscien-
tious, he never shirks and never
founders when the rest of the team
goes to pieces. He is naturally cour-
ageous and stage fright merely proves
this to be so. The best actors and
ball players of the present day have
all gone through that ordeal and are
all the better for it. A player who
never gets scared can not sense the
critical moment
Danny is here and the big league
should give him chance. If the big
league does not do this it will be the
writer's purpose to see that Danny
gets a chance elsewhere. It may be
that they have been shipmates to-
gether. Any way Danny Arcia shall
have a chance to show what he can
do and it is up to some of the local
players to coach and boost a possible
Giant or White Sox.

FOR
THE WALL CUP

The men S singles. tournament for the
Wall cup will have its opening at the
Beretania courts this afternoon, be-
ginning promptly at $3.50. The handi-
caps will be about the same as usual
but. for the benefit of entrants, will
be posted on the clubhouse board so
that they can be sure as to where they
stand.
The drawings for today are as fol-
lows: $3.50 p. M, A, L, Lowrey VS..
Ralph c. E Forster; W. L. Whitney
VS.. E, L. Sinclair 400 p. m, E. s.
Gee VS.. Lieut. Moses; L. Warren vs.
r. B. Booth. 4:30 p. m, J. Maconnel
VS.. j. Macauley. Captain Low, bye,
and T. Hurd. bye.
The drawings show that there. will
be some hard playing during the first
matches. The handieaps, while sub
iect to slight alteration. have already
shown their fairness in recent tourna-
ments and it looks as though there
would be some hard fought finishes.

U. S. MARINE CORPS BASEBALL TEAM, USUALLY CALLED
LES SAW HENLEY
NOW IN PARIS

Two more picture postals from that
good Les Petrie. He was in "Dear
Hold Hengland" when they were mail
ed, and is evidently having the time
of his life. One of the postals gives
a fine view Of Henley regatta and it
was thence that he mailed it. The
other picture shows the Thames en-
bankment and some buildings beyond,
one of which makes a noise like the
National Liberal Club
Les states on the margin of one
postal that he finds that Hind Head
is forty miles from London but that he
expects to make that journey in one
of theses side-entrance British trains
very soon. Hind Head is where Sir
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Grant Allen
and one or two other literary celebri-
ties live. Les has a letter of introduce
ton to the former and the two ought
to make a hit with each other as they
are both typical out-of-door men. Hind
Head is prominent in Grant Allen g
'Scallywag'f and in several of Doyle 8
stories, notably in his Sherlock Holmes
Series
When Les gets back here he will
surely have the large fund of informa-
ton on athletics About this time he
should be in Paris or Switzerland. We
shall expect to see him getting off the
steamer with an alpenstock and snow
glasses. But you can wager some sac
charine vitality that one Les Petrie
will let that effete Europe hear about
Hawaii Come TO think Of it. what fun
it would be if he made surfboard and
showed them how to ride the waves at
Brighton OF Boulogne-sur- Mer.

POLO PROJECTS.

The local polo players viii net go to
Maui for the big Harvest Home
festival on August IA. They viii stay
here and get in practice for the do
ings that will take place early in Sep
TENDER On September 4 it is expect
ed that the Maui and, perhaps, the Ka-
uai ponies will arrive here.
Then there will be tournament in
which each team viii play every other
team once. Half of the games will be
played at Leilehua and the other half
at Moanalua. After these games there
win be a final game between two
picked tours.
The best eight players out of all the
teams that are represented here will
play one final grand game and it bids
fair to be the combination society and
sporting event of the year.

The spacious lanai at Haleiwa and

Chop Suey is Vogue.

Manager Orc of the vaudeville COM
pany at the Orpheum has scored with
his Chop Suey finale for it is infinitely
better than the Introductory skit seen
earlier in the week. There is snap and
go to it and the pretty girls of the
chorus show to excellent advantage. The
specialties are cleverjy done and the
moving pictures quite new and INTEREST
ing.
Miss Irwin won a heart or two by
her mirror work and scored hit with
all of the audience. The dance by
the chorus girls dressed prettily and
wearing fascinating merry widow hats
caught the people in all parts of the
house for the girls looked very swell
indeed. Chop Suey is several grades
higher in the classes than Tallamoosa
and should make a long run. The
company has, it is said, a repertoire of
more stunts than there are days in the
wear so it is not probable Chop will be
seen after tonight. Charlie Orc, who
plays the Chinese, is a thorough come
dian who will win laurels in any part
he essays.
That Manager Cohen was wise in his
selection cannot be gainsaid. 1t has
been shown every night this week that
vaudeville was wanted and the people
have crowded the house at every per-
Torrance because the show is clean and
healthy There is to be a matinee every
Wednesday and Saturday to which the
cost of a reserve seat is burt ten cents.
Think of it, ten cents for motion pic
ture show and first class vaudeville.
Seats may be reserved one week in
advance for anv of the performances.
