This afternoon at South Side Park
the members af the baseball squad oil
the Fairmont High School Base Ball

fully twenty-five men in uniform Y
fRe field is muddy and rather SOC
gy, eliminating speed, but much work
is being done as sort Of preliminary
so that the coach may know what po
sitons the men are fitted for.
The excellent material which has
responded to the call OF Principal Nc
Bee and Coach Maloney shows to the
unpreiudieel observer that FaiTmdIIt
is thIsS year 4 going TO have a High
School team that will be the, equal q
ally High School team in the state
and that the boys who this year ri
present the Fairmont High School
and wear the letters to be won as q
member of. the Fairmont High School
Base Ball team, Will also wear letters
denoting far more than any other let
tiers which may be Won in the state,
for Fairmont High School this after
noon has material on the field, which
when properly trained. will develop
into a team which shall carry the un'
disputed title of High School Cham
pions Of the State Of West Virginia.

~ The people Of Fairmont Join the peo:.

IN their sorrow for the loss of their
beloved us. Senator, Robert L. Tay-
'lor, who died at Washington yester-
day.
Senator Taylor neld warm place
in the hearts of hundreds Of our citi.
zens whom he met and who learned to
love him during his two recent visits
to our city
All who have known Senator Taylor
or who have been SO fortunate as TO
hear his beautiful oratory, realize at
once what a great loss our country
has sustained in the death Of this most
gifted and celebrated champion OF the
great common people. No man was
too poor, or obscure to receive respect;
full attention from Bob" Taylor when
he appealed to him for help or sym
patty. During his term as Governor
OF Tennessee he was often criticised
for the free use OF the pardoning
power which he extended at all times
when conditions were such as to
touch his sympathetic heart strings.
No man can take or I'LL his place in
the councils of the nation, on the lee
ture platform, or in the hearts OF the
people OF his native State Tennessee,
whom he loved with the devotion that
was child'llke in~its simplicity.
Senator Taylor had no superior IN
the wonderful expressive force he gave
to the English language which seemed
to flow from his lips in canstant
streams Of emotional melody tuned to
the lyrics of the soul, delneating love,
pathos, mlrth, anxiety and all other
emotions in such a manner as to Inn
part to his hearers the actual feelings
his words expressed. ~ :.

MUCH INTEREST IS SHOWNIN

ever, the enrolment increased and
reached the number of one hundred
aud twenty-five There was an aver
age Of attendance Of seventy at the
sixteen meetings that were held dur
ing tho year and great interest was
shown In the work.
1t can hardly be said that this class
Is in connection with the church, and
1t can hardly be called religious. The
purpose of the members is to study
the New Testament as they would
study any other great literary pro-
ducLion. The one text used is the
Twentieth Century Testament, and
each morning Mr.. EbersoIe delivers
lectures. Those present are given
mimeograph outlines of the lectures
and are told beforehand what the fol-
lowing subject will be. AS the class
is unusually large little time is given
to discussion, but there is question
box at the entrance Of the room and
the first part of the morning Is de-
voted 10 the answering OF the qdes-
lions found there. Mr.. Ebersple is
wonderfully clear in his explanations
and much Is gained by the attendance
at the lectures. This year there have
been only two meetings but though
the enrolment is not SO large as that

AND ORNAMENT
SALE At PUNAHOU

f At the opening of every school year
there is a scarcity of funds in most
of the school organizations and these
are padded Eout by donations, sub
scriptions, and in various other ways.
This year the senior girls urged by
Miss Ruth Anderson, Miss Myrtle
Schumann, Miss Marguerite Wad-
man, and Miss Marjorie Gilman, held
candy and football ornament safe
at Punahou. The sale took place yes
terday morning at Oahu college and
a clearance of sixteen dollars was
made. The candy was homemade and
was delicious, but the miniature foot
balls fastened to rosettes of blue rib
bon attracted the eyes OF the stu,

TN THE WOMAN'S WORLD

Of last year. the attendance is greater
There were eight-siX ladies present
at the first meeting and ninety-six 81
the second.
So far as is possible, Mr.. Ebersole
goes back TO the Greek translation OF
many Of the words and thus brings
out the true and correct meaning of
them. He also lays much stress on
the way In which the Gospel has been
preserved and handed down from
generation to generation.
Last year study was made of the
gospel from the beginning of the Tes-
lament to the Sermon on the Mount.
And this year the two lectures have
been devoted to that wonderful SER
mon.
1t is we'll known that every time
one reads the scriptures new mean
ings and new passages come to light
and the study of the scriptures with
one who is quite familitr with them
can not be anything but beneficial as
we'll as interesting. The study of the
Gospel in this Bible Glass is a sys-
tematic, intensive study of the Cos
pei records. The lectures are given
in a manner similar to that in a class
room, as any English classic might
be studied.
II the interest in this work contin-
ues through the present year, Mr..
Ebersole plans something quite differ
ent for the following year, as two
years on the same kind of subject is
considered quite enough. Although
many of the students are attendants
or members of Central Union Church,
the class is open to the women of
Honolulu regardless of denomination,
and an invitation is extended to them
by the Woman's Society. 1t is said
by those who have attended all the
lectures that the interest shown by
the women is intense and increasing.
Where few questions were asked at
first, more are asked now and many
interesting points in scriptural his
tory are brought out each time.
