FOR MAINE F

Play Baseball.
CAME ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON

Sent $200 Aiready.
The men of the U. S. S. Bennington
have now on hand a most worthy
scheme that of a baseball game be
tween teams from the gunboat and the
Kamehameha School boys for the pur
pose of raising money to swell the
Maine fund for the support of the fam
ilies of those of Uncle Sam's brave
sons killed in the recent awful disas
ter.
For three weeks or more, the Ben
nington team has been practicing dili
gently to render itself capable of put
ting up a good game. Pitted against
the players of Kamehameha School,
they will work hard for the game as
well as for the purpose of giving their
spectators as much enjoyment as it is
in their power to give.
The Bennington men have the love
of their brother tars at heart as is evi
denced by the fact that, by a recent
mail, there went forth to the proper
nuarters in the States, the sum of $200
for the Maine fund. The men would
have raised more but were told that a

Now comes the baseball game for
Thursday afternoon. The regular ad
mission fee of 25 cents will be charged.
It was not deemed proper to raise the
admission fee.

There has been talk here ever since
the loss of the Maine of a benefit for a
fund to the families of the men who
lost their lives under the Stars and
I
Strinps The nlan was frowned unon
from certain quarters and the ones
who were expected to go ahead became
so timid that the project was dropped.
Miss Elsie Adair proposed at one
time to give a show with the assistance
of city and Bennington talent and to
donate the whole of the proceeds to the
Maine fund. The young actress is an
American and was very enthusiastic
over the matter, but on account of ill
ness was compelled to abandon the
project.
Now that the men of the Bennington
have taken hold of the enterprise it is
certain to be a big success. There is
nia-rrr rt ci-mTtViv Vioro fnr tho main

object. The Bennington men have
made Honolulu friends who will coop-
erate with them and this is a town in
which any naval affair is bound to be a
success on account of both business
and social considerations. A day other
than Saturday has never been consid-
ered very good for an afternoon enter-
tainment. but both the Bennington
men and the Kamehameha students
r 1
hope that an exception will be made in
this case and that the attendance will
be large. The Kamehameha team has
been in training ever since the series
of games early in the spring with the
Punahou nine and will now do good
work on the diamond.
A number of prominent citizens to
whom the benefit ball game was men
tioned yesterday promised it full sup
port. Outings.
W. C. Roe and a number of other
employes of the Honolulu Iron Works
just leaving the night shift celebrated
the event yesterday by taking a ride on
the Oahu railway. The machinists
went into Ewa mill and watched the
extraction of juice fom cane for some
time and viewed the whole plant. They
were disappointed in not having time
to visit the pumping stations. A cou
ple of men in the party, though work
ing every day on sugar plantation ma
chinery, had never before seen a mill
in operation. All of the men quite en
joyed the holiday.
On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Chap
man entertained about a hundred peo
ple in their new resort at Remond
Grove. Parties will now be given fre
quently at this pretty place.
Work Being Hushed.
W. E. Rowell, Superintendent of
Public Works, completed yesterday
afternoon a tour of Oahu. Mr. Rowel
traveled horseback and was able to
make an inspection of all bridge work
under wav. He reports that the forces
are sunnlied with material and are
showing good progress. In a few weeks
the most of the flood damage will be
repaired. In a number of places the
road is all right again.
N. Diphtheria.
In an afternoon paper of yesterday it
was stated that the cieatn or juage
Hookano's child occurred at the Penin
sula from diphtheria. As a matter of
fact the child died at Waikiki on Satur
day last after an illness of about a
month. The cause of death was cholera
infantum. The people at the Penin
sula are most anxious to have the er
roneous report corrected.
Special Commissioner.
J. Marsden, whose retirement from
the position of Commissioner of Agri
culture has been mentioned, will re
ceive another appointment at once. Mr.
Marsden is to tour in Europe for the
benefit of his health and will be away
from the Islands for a year. He will
take along letters patent as Special
Labor Commissioner. Mr. Marsden of
fered to perform the duties that he will
undertake without salary. He has
given the labor question in Hawaii
much study. For nearly a quarter of a
century he has been in the sugar plan
tation business. Mr. Marsden is firmly
of the opinion that a desirable colon-
ist labor can be recruited for the Isl
ands in Southern Europe, and will
i
spare no effort in that direction
Funds Getting Low.

Golf Aain.
S. M. Ballou is leading in making ar
rangements for a golf outing on Satur
day next. Quite a number of society
people are interested. The new links
begin mauka of the Lane place in Ku
nawai. The spot is reached via Judd
street. The first hole is within a stone
enclosure that the hack drivers tell
tourists is the remains of an ancient
heiau or temple. Mr. Ballou thinks it
is an abandoned stock pen. It is a
-
good place for the first hole, anyhow.
In order that there may not be too
much hardship attendant on playing,
the route has been cleared of lantana.

Complaint is made of the petty and
annoying operations of a piano player
who has been in twon some time and
who will find the hand of the law laid
upon him unless he reforms. The man
calls at a residence during the absence
of the heads of the house and tells
servants or children he has been sent
to tune the piano. He does some work
upon the instrument, tries to get
money and sometimes has had the as
surance to send bills to citizens who
never heard of him before.
A Truck Garden.
Byron O. Clark came up from his
place on the Peninsula yesterday,
bringing with him several crates of the
finest home grown tomatoes that have
been on sale in Honolulu for many a
day. He is having good success on the
Peninsula although he has found the
various insect pests quite a drawback.
He would have been able to furnish the
market with mushmelons by now if it
had not been for the insect pests.
DEPENDABLE BARGAINS.
Now that the stock of the fire sale
is out of the way, L. B. Kerr will
turn over a new leaf and offer to the
trade a personally selected stock of
beautiful dry goods at prices with
prices attacked which competition ean
not touch.

HOUSE.
For the select committee on electric

great assistance. Part 10 of Section

cused from voting as he did not un

Arrangements for Celebration of
the Queen's Birthday.
A largely attended and enthusiastic
meeting of the Sons of St. George was
held last evening for the purpose of
considering the project of a celebration
of the 24th of May, the anniversary of
the birth of Victoria, Queen of Great
Britain. It was decided that a general
ball, similar to the one given last year,
be made the order of the evening of
May 24th. and that this be in Inde-
pendance park pavilion. Tickets for
men will be a dollar while a ouDle
will be charged two dollars.
Everything has been settled by the
Sons of St. George but nothing can be
done until the committee from the
British Benevolent Society reports
what the final arrangements are.
Other kindred societies and all Brit
ish subjects will be expected to parti
cipate.
The proceeds of the ball will go into
the coffers of the British Benevolent
Society.
Frogrcssing.
The movement to send a company
from here for service with United States
troops against Spain is progressing
satisfactorily. Nearly half the num
ber of men required have had their
names put down already. Great care is
being exercised by those who have the
arrangements in charge. About 20
men have been refused for various rea
sons. There is being secured young
men drilled already. A number of fine
shots whose services would certainly
be in demand are enrolled. The com
pany will go only in case that it re
ceives an assignment to active duty at
once.
Under the Tent.
Willison's circus had a fair house
last night. The program was an at
tractive one and was run off in good
style. There were a number of features
surprising to those who have attended
the show very often. The ring work
and the "parlor gymnastics" were ex
ceptionally fine numbers and the rac
ing in the hippodrome is exciting.
There will be a show again tonight
with new men in the Wild West party.
