Umpires Agreements For a
Quick Business Came.
The scries of five basolall g.imes
between the "Wei a Ka Hao," or old
Regiment, tam and the first nine of
the third battalion. First New York,
will begin at C:30 this afternoon on
the Makiki grounds. Yellow and white
will be the colors of the town team,
making a very pretty uniform, indeed.
George Angus has been selected as
umpire for the towns. The New York
ers will put a man behind the bat.
Percy Lishman has retired from the
office of captain of the towns and may
not play in the team at all. Pressure
of business is the reason. Al. Moore
has been elected captain in his stead.
Toyo Jackson and IJonnie Lemon will
pitch. The former has improved great
ly and now throws a wicked curve
that will be hard to find this afternoon.
George Angus is a most competent
umpire, and is popular with both th
players and the public.
Games will be played with a rush.
No long waits will be allowed. In case
of disputes regarding plays only the
captains of teams will be allowed to
lick the umpire. The town boys are
showing up in much better shape than
it was thought possible with so few
days practice. There is earnestness in
their work which will undoubtedly
show In the games. These are the
teams to be entered:

The New York regiment
band will
play between innings durin
the game.
It is a first class musical contingent
ana will serve to enliven things and
entertain the audience. It is expected
mat a big crowd will be out. Interest
in the ftime was at white heat last
evening Walsh, captain of the New
Yorks and the short stop, cannot play
today. Wall will act as captain. Ad
mission will be 25 cents.
Several members of the Town foot
ball team failed to show up yesterday
afternoon for practice and frequently
remain away. The faithful few feel
sore against them and so will all the
city if the old champions are downed
next Saturday.
There will not be a cricket game this
afternoon. This is official.
Camphor Trees.
At yesterday's session of the Com
missioners of Agriculture it was voted
to cultivate a large number of cam
phor trees on the Government reserva
tions. Camphor trees do well here.
There is one on the Executive build
ing grounds. Mr. Haughs reported to
the Board that he had srM
cords of wood in having land cleared
on Tantalus. A request from the Hos
pital lower Society for a plot of
ground was received and referred to
the- Minister of Interior. Th os a whn
attended the meeting were Minister
King, Messrs. Herbert. Tavlor nnd
Clark. 5
It Was Loaded.
Corp. Casserly, of the Tenth Penn
sylvania Regiment, Company D. while
climbing to the summit of Diamond
head, discovered the barrel of a rifle
standing in the ground. On pulling it
out it proved to be a Winchester rifle.
The breech and chamber had been
buried in the ground. It contained
eleven shots. On pulling the trigger
one shot was discharged. The rifle has
probably laid there since the insurrec
tion of January 6, 1S93.
The March.
Company H, First New York,
camped at Hauula court house last
night. Capt. Hitchcock telephoned
that all the men were well and enjoy
ing the march immensely. It was
quite muddy around Kaneohe. but the
troops are now outside of the wet belt.
Show for the Soldiers.
The American Comedy Co., support
ing the favorite comedian James F.
Post, will open In a big tent on Jame3
Dodd's property between the two
camps at Kapiolanl Park at S o'clock
this evening for a short season. The
tent, which is fitted with folding
chairs, electric lights, etc., will seat 600
people. An entirely new program will
he put on.
New Line Steamers.
News in a private letter from Sin
Francisco is imiortant concerning the
new Polynesia Steamship line. This
is the enterprise in which the Cramps
ro to be heavily interested, as new
boats for the service are to come from
their yards. One line in this ocean
will be from San Francisco to Manila
via Honolulu. It is now proposed to
!wgin operations at once. The San
Francisco advice is that three ships
known here as transports will appear
as liners for the Polynesia company.
These are the Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Indiana. Fach ship has an ice ma
chine and cold storage and could
handle large quantities cf beef or other
perishable goods.
Saloon Restrictions.
F. M. Hatch, attorney for W. C. Pea
cock & Co., appeared before a part of
the Cabinet yesterday morning to sub
mit argument against the proposed re
strictions on saloon licenses. Presi
dent Dole, Minister Damon. Attorney
General Smith and Minister King were
present. In the absence cf Minister
Cooper, who was still detained on the
beneh of the Supreme Court, a formal
hearing was deferred until Monday. In
an informal manner the question of
the restrictions was discussed.
ITALIAN ii:opli:
SETTLEU ON OAHU.
Small Party Quietly Hrotiht.
Others to Come.
Minister Damon lias very quietly In
augurated a pioneer experiment in
Italian labor for Hawaii. He made in
quiries while in London representing
Hawaii at the Queen's jubilee. It was
leaned that desirable people, from dis
tricts distant out of the population
f.entrrs, could be had. Cook & Son
v.-c.reinterviewed on the subjee; of
sul at Rome for the Island Itepublir.
readily took an Interest in th nro
ject. There has been much correspond
ence and considerable expense. As a
result Mr. Damon has had at his Mo
analua place for nearly five months a
family of five Italians from a dairy
section near the Alps. These are, of
course, selected people and have given
entire satisfaction from the first. Karly
in their life here it was Interesting to
st-e them work with the Island mikh
cows, so differently trained from the
pets in the old coiintry. Mr. Denton
has made, for the Government, an ex
tensive research with a view to open
in? up a labor supply for this country
in Italy. He gives the assurance that
people can be secured who cannot fail
to meet all the requirements. They
are bound to be satisfied here, for the
very simple reason that their lot in
Italy Is miserable. Their pay there Is
next to nothing and their food is of the
roughest and not in quantity. The peo
ple who were brought here by Mr. Da
mon have been writing letters and
have sent for some of their relatives.
One of the letters was translated from
m Italian paper for the New York
Times and it gives a glowing account
of the country here. Thesp people
bring letters of recommendation from
the mayor of their village.
It is understood that quite a com
pany of Italians to be located on Oahu
and Maul are on the way or are about
to embark. They come via Canada.
The people at Moanalua say thev were
advised to try Hawaii by an old man
of the district who had read two
things of the Islands that there was
a new and Republican form of govern
ment and that the climate was kindly
and the soil rich.
Minister Damon was verv careful to
satisfy himself that the Italians likely
to come to Hawaii were a people free
from the faults found In the low class
of Italian laborers that have been
troublesome In some of the mining re
gions of the States.
Action of Citizens.
A number of the citizens of a Pros
pect street neighborhood, becoming
weary of the condition of a portion of
the thoroughfare on Hackfeld street,
have lately proceeded to make a side
walk along the premises of a non-resident
property owner. Appeal was
made to the Government and the
agents for the place, but without re
sult. The citizens took matters In
their own hands for the benefit of
themselves and their children and the
general public.
NEW ARRIVALS.
It will be welcome news to many to
hear that an entirely new lot of good3
have arrived by Miowera and Austra
lia for L B. KERR. It costs you noth
ing to lock at them.

C. M. Hyde presided and Miss Eldredge
officiated as secretary. About 200 Kin
dergarten workers and persons inter

Reports were read ami several made
remarks on the work in their respec

ted the following:
"Fifty-seven hundred and eighty-six
dollars, in round numbers, have been
collected by the financial secretary and
handed over to the treasurer since last

"At the dos of our last year's re
port the pledge list footed about $3,

year lMs. were about $3,r,00. This
showing called for the raising of 1,

this direction has leen to secure de
finite pledges, and we have much cause
for gratitude In the cordial response
to this that we have met from many
of our contributors as we also have
for all the help that has ben given to
us in many ways during the past year.
It is principally by the cordial co
operation of our subscribers that the
pledge list has been incrvased from

take this opportunity to extend to all
who have done so much for the work
our most heartfelt thanks.

year to have been say. . . .?S22S)Q
Our estimate at the beginning
of the year for this was.... H.r.OO.OO
"Actual expenditure being about
$1.32.00 over the estimate. Such a re
sult in a growing work Is more often
experienced than otherwise and shows
the need of providing more rather than
less than an estimate calls for.

In spite of us, and we cannot do less
than to grow with It. Rut we can only
go forward as fast as public senti

that each of us should do all in our
power to show to everyone whom we
may influence how great a work this
is that we are trying to do. Every
year's experience emphasizes iL
"If we ourselves and all of our
friends and acquaintances will but

"HARRIET CASTU: COLEMAN."
Miss Frances I-awrcnce. supervisor
of the City Kindergarten read the fol
lowing interesting report:
"What is the kindergarten and what
Is the duty of the klndergaxtncr?" U
a question which confronts me con
stantly. It may be that eome one bu
visited one of the kindergartens and
found the children and teachers gone
for a walk, or a visit to a neighboring
rice field or taro patch, or she may find
the teacher with her sleeves rolled up.
giving a child a bath, and to one not
familiar with the kindergarten prin
ciples th question naturally arises.
What is the kindergarten? or in some
amazement. Is this the duty of the
kindcrgartner? Again, the teachers
have felt that visitors were often sur
prised to see certain things being done
in the kindergarten, but as they were
too busy to explain the wherefore of
thrm, the visitors departed with a pos
sible doubt in their minds. So today,
at the risk of repeating things many
of you have heard before, with the
hope, perhaps of presenting the subject
In a different light. I will undertake
to answer the question Lrlefly.
The kindergarten is a place in which
the immediate physical, mental and
spiritual needs of the little child are
supplied for his harmonious develop-'
ment. which expression Is full of mem
lng. though It has almost grown to be
cant.
The quality, then, of the the kinder
garten depends largely upon the in
sight of the teacher as to what the im
mediate needs of the child are, for you
will readily see that It would be use
less to try to give a child a lesson in
honesty or politeness while his body Is
craving food.
It Is sad to relate that In our kind
ergartens the most pressing need is
physical. Too often do the children
come to school dirty, hungry, dressed
In filthy clothes and covered with
sores or vermin. It Is,, however, en
couraging to note that after the kind
ergarten has been In running order for
so mo time, the ehlMren come to school
in better condition. Last year in the
Japanese kindergarten there were
many children to be bathed every day.
This year, so far, only two have been
found who needed a bath, and they
were from the same family.
Through the kindness and loving
services of Miss Thompson, of Kame
hameha Roys' School, and Miss John
son, of the Sanitarium, with the help
of four Hawaiian girls from Kawala
h.io and Kamehameha tfirls Schools,
we have been enabled to establish a
sanitary department in the most needy
kindergartens. The nurses come twice
a week, give the children baths when
nee!el, wash their sores and dress
them with healing salves that they
may soon get well. Dr. Day, Dr. Gar
vin and Dr. Howard have been most
kind In giving medical advice in the
several cases where it was neoded. and
the Government has given us a liberal
supply of medicines.
Rut the work has grown so we find
It necessary to put it into the hands of
some one who can give her whole time
to lu The teachers are earnest and
faithful, -work early and late, taking
part of nurse, mother and klndergar-
tner, which is their blessed privilege,
but there is so much to be done they
cannot possibly attend to It all.
There was the case of little Kakala.
last year, who was treated for one
thing or another from September until
spring. Many a time I have gone Into
the kindergarten and found her a
bundle of bandages from head to foot.
No sooner was she cured of one thing
than another aliment presented Itself,
until she was finally taken to the hos
pital. Here she remained several
months, until nhe was quite well. She

to care for their children. This is a
most Important field of work.and a
