TRY BARABOO

The star players of the local team
were Paul Stewart, Rowland Brennan
and Raymond Cooper. The other
players were Martin Arndt, Henry
Anderson, Samuel Neitzel and James
Ryan. TIE game was arranged by
Harry Tudor. The return game will
be played one week from Monday.
An unfortunate circumstance was
the throwing of eggs after the game
when the visitors emerged from the
building. The local manager says the
Baraboo players had nothing to do
with the disgraceful act and is trying
to find out who the miscreants are.

TeQrSS6ed

On Friday evening after the Auxi-
llary to the Sons of Veterans lodge
meeting about fifty members went
merrily down Second avenue to give
Oscar DoppIer and his bride chari-
vari at the home of Ms. Deborah
Moore. Webster says that charivarl
is mock serenade of discordant noises,
designed to annoy. That is what 1t
was. When the Moore home was
reached, Marching Through Georgia"
pierced the moonlight air but there
was no military steps on the part OF
the bride and groom. At the last
moment member of the family ap-
reared and said, "There is nothing
doing" and the serenaders did not gel
even a stick of gum. Crocodile tears
were sprinkled profusely all the way
along Second avenue.

WORKED LONG FOR SUCCESS
Mrs. stannard Wrote Steadily for

II is interesting to recall just now
that the late Mrs. Stannard, other

not a "woman's Fighter" Yet there
was certainly no lack Of character or
brain power about the author Of

pacity for organization. which served
her in good stead when she turned

Chief THURSTON
WELCOMES civil
/. SER VICE

Great was the rejoicing among the
members of the police and fire depart
ments of Honolulu when il was
learned that Senate Bill so, otherwise
known as the civil service bill, had
n eceiYed the signature CT the governor
When once put into effect, it is be.
lieYed that this bill will remove all
traces of politics from the two depart.
ments upon which the public depends
for safety and protection, besides
Ilacing real value upon the merit of
the city employees f..
The civil service bill provides that
the mayor, with the approval OF the
board of supervisors, shall every year,
before December 81, appoint a board
of civil service examiners. Three
members, each of different political
party, shall constitute this board, and
they will receive a salary of 5000 per
Year each. The commission shall have
as secretary the city clerk. The bill
further gives the members of the COM
mission the power to require both a
physical and mental examination of
all applicants for city positions, and
tC, establish such regulations as may
re found necessary for che encourage
ment of efficient service. >.~... +:
The present employees in the fire,
police and other departments which
come under the new law will not be
required to take these examinations,
but are to continue with their work
IS before. Further, the provisions of
the act do not apply to deputy sher-
IFS. All new applicants for positions
in the several departments which
come under the Jurisdiction OF the new
law must undergo such examinations
as the board of examiners see fit to
hold. 1t is expected that the mayor
and the board of supervisors will at
once take steps toward the appoint
ment of the members OF the civil serv-
ice board of examiners, in order that
the regulations may be established
upon firm basis without delay.
Speaking of the new law in the be-
half of the fire department, Chief
Thurston said this morning:
While there has been but an ink
ling of politics in the fire department,
y UCBCfC I1dJ@ III. NJ III inc UC0I stAkuS
this condition should be removed, as it
has now been by the passage of bill
80. l believe that it IS one of the
best bills to be passed during the
present session Of the legislature The
Ieople are depending upon the fire de
J artment for protection, and they have
got to have it, and that is what we
have been trying, to give them, re-
CARELESS of the fact that politics were
ever in the fire department. AS the
now stands, it is capable
cf protecting the city and has as good
a force of men as any one could ask
for. We can handle the entire city
with the equipment which we now
have, but Honolulu IS continually
growing, and to my estimation the
should be increased. But
that is little of the subject. ! am
heartily in favor of the new law. IT is
going to be a, great benefit to both
the fire and the botice departments.
