"My dear friend, there are no spec
ulators here, and there are no tickets
to be had. You might as well ask for
the mcon!"
Il can stand, then. I'm not afraid
of getting tired" :.
"There are no standing places at
all! No one is allowed to go in who

possibly have picked up one in Mum

moment, but such chances are jumped
at! I wonder that you even got a
place to sleep!"

said Mr.. Van Torp, thoughtfully
There's one room the size of horse
box, one bed, one basin, one pitcher
and one towel, and I've brought my

Its worse. There's lunatic in the

through the door, and has lodged a

while I was shaving. It's not very

HIS OFFER NOT APPRECIATED
Elderly Gentleman May Have Meant
Well, But the Damse Was
Suspicious.

The plump waiter girl at the lunch
counter, having nothing to do at the
moment, was trying to reach with her
fngernails place on her back well
up between the shoulders, but with
her short and chubby arms she was
unequal to the task. In vain she
squirmed and struggled, and twisted
her face. She failed to achieve the
desired connection.
The elderly man on the outside of
the counter, who has been fighting a
piece of overdone steak, leaned for
ward and spoke to her in low tone,
but with intense earnestncss.

Times had changed. Six months
earlier he would have been told that
there had been a mistake and that she
had gone out.
She was alone; a letter she had
been writing lay unfinished on the
queer little desk near the shaded
the paper. On the round table in the
middle of the small bare room there
stood a plain white vase full of corn
flowers and peoples, and Margaret
was standing there, rearranging them,
or pretending to do so.
She was looking her very best, ana
as she raised her eyes and greeted
him with friendly smile, Mr.. Van
Torp thought she had never been SO
handsome before.
Margaret held out her hand and he
took it; and though it's touch and her
friendly smile were like taste of
heaven just then, he pressed her fin
gers neither too much nor too little,
and his face betrayed no emotion.
Its very kind of you to receive
me, Miss Donne," he said quietly.

Sentiments for Husbands.

when a man really loves his wife
he ought to combine all his incest
sentiments toward other women into
one big sentiment for her.
"He should show her the respect he
feels toward his mother; the polite
ness he shows other women, and the
responsibility he feels toward his sis
ter.
ITO all of that he should add the
great love he should feel for a wife,"

INNING OF THE
PEACE ANGEL

For the first time ainsa the River
side League mixup took place about
three weeks ago. there is peace among
the teams. The League met yestsr-
day at noon in the offices Of A. L C.
Atkinson and some very important
business was taken up and considered.
The most important of all was the
formal application of the Rewaio A..
which application was made through
u. Paresa. manager of the Keyalos.
This was unanimously allowed and
now the League will be composed OF
the following clubs for the year 1903:
Paiaaa A. c.. Aala A c., Chinese
AIohas and Kewalos
ries on the 20tn of June, which will be
just one week from next SUNDAY.
This will no doubt be good news to the
fans, as nearly everybody is anxious
to see the Riverside League in action
again. President A. L. c. Atkinson
will look after the arrangements for
the grand opening and there win be
nothing undone that will make the
opening of the 1903 season in the Riv-
erside League the best of all the
years gone by. There was some talk
at the meeting yesterday to have the
champions of the Atkinson League
meet the PaIamas, the champions OF
the Riverside League, on the opening
day. This would be a very interest
ing game. as ii would probably de-
eide the championship among the am
ateur leagues here. It is the River
side and the Atkinson Leagues only
that may be called in the Al class
among the Junior leagues.
The G. A. C.'s also sent in their
written withdrawal from the River
side League. A letter was received
from J. Zane, secretary Of that club,
notifying the League that they had
withdrawn This letter was taken up
and on motion Of Correa was placed
on file It was an important docu-
nAnt, as it means that the dragonlets
will never again be given an oppor-
tunity te participate in the best anna
teur league here.
Besides the officers of the League,
there were present s. P. CoTrea, y.
Hoopii. ". Paresa, L. Mon Tai and
Espinda, representing the four teams
in the League. There win be another
meeting again next Monday evening
IN Atkinson's offices.

this will lead to a thorough survey of
the whole Territory by the U. S. Geo
logical Survey.
Humanitarian Object.
1t is believed that the best results
viii be obtained by making use of
temporary quarters near the Volcano
House for one or two years in order to
make a reconnaissance of the field, so
that the final building may be the re-
suit of some extended experience. The
main object of all the work should be
humanitarian = earthquake prediction
and methods of protecting life and
property on the basis of sound seien-
tife achievement.
Results obtained in connection with
all subjects of investigation will be
promptly published in the form of bull
letins and memoirs.

Following the address of Professor
Jaggar, L. A. Thurston pointed out the
purely commercial advantages of secur.

The fact that Hawaii has natural
wonder such as Kilauea is known, he
said, 10 relatively few. The announce
ment. however. that an institution such
as the Massachusetts Institute of Tech

lance enough to establish an observa-
tory near it and send a trained corps
of scientists to live beside it would

waii to subscribe the funds necessary

irrespective of the great scientific bene-
fit to accrue

Advantages of Kilauea.

In speaking of the advantages of XII
lauea for study, Professor Jaggar said:
"Kilauea and Mauna Loa form a
unique pair of volcanoes, being more
like the surface of the moon than any
other spots on earth that I know of.
The lavas in each is very liquid and the
action in each pit is more constant
than most volcanoes. They are rela-
lively safe and it would be. easy near
them to establish an observatory, hav
ing most of the advantages of Access
sibility and civilization.

It was along these lines that Profes-
sor Jaggar spoke for an hour yesterday,
an hour in which he gave those fortu-
nate enough to hear him much food
for thought His address was that OF
a savant, but in language which could
be readily grasped by the unscientife
listener. He. spoke Of the time to come
when the geophysieists will be as able
to accurately forecast the coming Of
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tidal
waves and like phenomena as mete-
biologists are able today TO forecast
the coming Of a storm. Such knowl'
edge may be brought about by giving
the same close study to the breathing
earth as has been given for centuries
to- the stars and the solar system.
There is a relation between as
tronomy and geophysics, he stated, call
ing attention to the fact that the earth
quake which has been latest reported
that in Sumatra, occurred on June 3,
at the exact date when the moon was
full and the sun and moon exerting
their greatest force upon the earth
There is nothing peculiar about this

Kilauea, while displaying great and
varied activity, is relatively safe.
SO Other volcanoes are more or less
connected in chains, making many sta
tons necessary in order to determine
the relations Of the different eraters
to each other. Kilauea and Mauna Loa
form an isolated center of activity,
over 1000 miles from the nearest ac-
tive vent, so that the phenomena of
these two vents can be recorded with
out complications occasioned by other
nearby centers.
49, Kilauea is very accessible. The
nearby harbor at Hilo is only thirty
one miles distant; it may be reached
by railroad and a good driveway, and
Honolulu, center of traffic and sell
enee, is easily reached in a day.
"a. The Central Pacific position is
unique, and is of advantage for record
ing distant earthquakes through the
uninterrupted sea-fioor which lies be
tween Hawaii and many earthquake
places such as South America, Mexico,
and Japan. For expeditions in case of
disaster or otherwise, relatively short
route is assured, with abundant means
of transportation to Pacific and East
Indian ports. For the study of the
deep-sea floor, Hawaii is obviously ia
vorable
80. The climate is uniform and the
air clear for astronomical work.
''6. There are frequent small earth
quakes, which are Of great interest for
technical reasons.
81. The remarkable distribution of
both hot and cold underground waters
in Hawaii needs careful study, and this
has an important bearing on agrieul-
ture as well as upon science.
IS. The territory is American, and
these volcanoes are famous in the his
tory of science for their remarkably
liquid lavas and nearly continuous ae-
tiYity.
