The Filipino Bartender.

From tho Bnokkccper.
III the olden days, tho day Of the Don,
every merchant in the islands was at
times his own money maker If lie was
short of cash to meet a pressing demand
he simply sent his chit ian American
eXpression1, called in Spanish a vale,
which was nothing more nor less than
a penciled l. o. L. to his neigiibor for
any sum from one peso up into the thou
sands. However. much to our discredit,
Americans, as a rule so much abused the
chit system that this crude form of
currency is now rarely accepted. except
ing at bars and restaurants. Referring
to barrooms naturally recalls the
American bartender as he is in the
islands. There he is very much an auto
crat: and, like the Spaniard, he will not
wet or soil his jeweled hands. An I'M
savory calling here at home, it is a digni-
fed one in Manila. There the barkeep
sits in front of the bar bedecked usually
In spotless white from head to foot, with
diamond or two of awkward size gilt
tering above his cravat. Most of his time
Is spent hobnobbing with the customers.
especially with the moneyed ones. He
takes a drink every time any one else
does not forgetting to order a round on
the house periodically. He is IL sort of
walking floor manager, jovial host and
an all round good fellow. Numerous Fill
ipino boys. working behind the bar and
at the tables, do his every command.

BILL FOR REPAIRS.
Secretary Of Nays Estimate fol
$6.344.5OO Vessel Charpes

An aggregate OF $6.344,500 for repairs
to naval vessels is provided for In esti-
mates which the Secretary or the Nav,
has submitted to the House. Recent
legislation required recommendations for
authorization where the repairs are to
exceed s2OO.0Oa
Probably the depa rtment will not AL
thorIze any expenditures on such ves-
sells as the Boston. Detroit, AnnapoIis
and Ingalls," says Secretary Meyer, and
the expenditures on the others NAV he
considerably reduced, but the estimates
contemplate authority so ae ITO meet any
emergency or unforeseen necessity 30
render the expenditures necessary
The repairs recommended include $50
600 each for the New Jersey and the
Rhode Island. S6sO.OO0 each for the Colo
raoo and the Pennsylvania, $3.50. 600 each
$4,000 for the Charleston. 1881 900 for
the Detroit, S256,O00 for the Boston, S2O6

The Slithering Seas.
From the Springfield Republican.

Standing on headland on the south
shore, the wind drove the biting snow
into YOUR face SO that the glittering
takes cut like knives. Through the blind
ing gusts glimpses of the dull gray sea
could be had beyond the trembling rocks.

guns, the combers. tossing their crests
twenty feet above the waving kelp,
crashed in on the coast and sent their
scud swirling high into the air. TO be
frozen and whirled away with the drift

sided, the storm in the sea rose greater
i'm its might the size of the brea kerS in

the storm above. and the sea came racing
in TO claim it's toll and to bring on it's

NIGHT TENNIS NEXT.

The first tennis tournament ever
attempted here at night will be start
ed on the Manoa valley courts On
Wednesday, April 10, and, Judging
from the interest taken, a large entry
list is expected. Invitations have been
sent to all the different clubs to take
part and the best racquet wielders in
the territory will probably play. The
large arc lights that have been install
ed at the Manoa club have poved very
successful and it is quite possible that
the Beretania club will have some in
stalled in the near future, as there are
lot of players who would like to
play at night, having no time in the
afternoons.

BOLTS END In DRAWS.

The two boxing matches that were
held at the Princess rink on Satur-
day night, as preliminaries to the
wrestling match, proved interesting to
the spectators, buc from a scientific
standpoint were far from being inter
esting Sarconi and Schuman from
Camp Very went at the game as If
they were trying to see which one
could swing the highest, although
both men did good work at times
during the four rounds. Sarconi de-
served the decision if one had been
given, but, as both men agreed to a
draw if they were on their feet at
the end of the fourth round, Referee
Scully could do nothing but call it a
draw. In the second match between
Nelson and Miller a good deal of gore
was drawn on both men, but Nelson
clearly proved that he was very much
superior to the man from Fort Shaft
err. Nelson simply played with his
man and hit him whenever he want
ed to, and it looked very much SIS if
the go would end by the knock out
route, but it went the limit and was
declared a draw, as the men agreed to
call it so if they were both on their
feet. During the third round Nelson
made a jump in the air which would
be worth a full page in the Police
Gazette, and landed two or three
blows in quick succession on his ri
walls face that had him groggy for
few seconds, but Nelson did not fol
low up the advantage and the round
ended as the two previous ones had.
During the fourth round Nelson sim
ply had Miller at his mercy bat The
game fellow kept his feet until the
gong had sounded and the go was
over. On account of the wet YEA
Their it was impossible to have the
moving picture of the Gotch-Hucken-
schmidt wrestling match.

SPORT S
DARK HORSE wins
End MARATHON RACE

Both men for the first few minutes
of the first fall kept on the defensive
and the time was nearly half over
before Roberts managed to get the
big German down on his side. Dett-
mers however got to his feet and re-
peated Roberts trick. Both men
kept hard at work during the rest of
the time and Roberts finally got his
mans shoulders down for the first
fall. The second fall lasted only
eight minutes, but for at least four
minutes Dettmers suffered agony as
Roberts managed to get the toe hold
and finally turned over with his rival
on top, and the match was over. Re
fierce Cobb officiated in a manner that
proves that he knows a good deal
about the game.

MARINES WIN FIRST.

The first game of the Military Lea
que baseball series was played on
Saturday afternoon at the league
grounds, in far from the best weather
conditions, the boys from Camp Very
defeating the First Infantry team by
the score of So. Several times during
the game the rain fell in torrents and
the players were soaked through, but
they finished the game in spite of all
the handicaps. Gibson pitched fine
game for his team and was well sup
ported. AS the Fort Shafter team are
out of the lerague for good, their
place will be taken this week by a
team from the Artillery camp.

They are a sovereign remedy for

Pains are in the nervcs-all feeling

etc.-They're al there, but in diff

DR.. Miles Lrti-Pain Pills
relieve the nerve irritation, and the

JEWELS AND GUARDS.

Smarting from their defeat at the
hands of the N. G. H. last Sunday
the New Orleans bali team went into
the game yesterday determined to
put up the fight of their lives, but
though they gave the home rooters a
fright, they could not quite turn the
trick, and Barry's pets again put it
over them to the tune of four to
three.
Barry's boys went right after the
game in the first inning and secured
& good lead by clever hitting. The
New Orleans started whirlwind ex-
hibition of how to pull off the squeeze
play in the third, and before the home
team recovered from the shock three
runners had crossed the plate. This
tied the score and it was not until
the ninth when En- Sue started off
with a bunt on which he beat to first
that the N. G. H. pulled out the game
by one run.
While the hitting was light, the
fielding at times was brilliant. Fox
who played left field for the Navy
brought the big crowd to its feet by
twice racing in to the base line and
making two seemingly impossible
catches. Not to be outdone, En- Sue
nailed a wicked drive in the seventh
after a long run. No doubt, the New
Orleans boys have more respect for
the ability Of the Honolulu ball play
ers than they had a couple of weeks
ago.
The game between the Japanese A.
C. and the Diamond Heads had
thriller in almost every inning. The
Japs played a steady consistent game
throughout, and but for the foolish
throwing of Hoopii, the Jap catcher,
they would have won. The Diamond
Heads finally pulled the game out of
the fire, after it seemed to be hope
lessly lost Winning by the score of
four to three in the 18th inning.
