He has been exercising regularly and rays that he is m good condition. As Paul expresses it, he feels like a three-year-old. While discussing the base ball-oatlook this morning Pan! ex- pressed the belief that moving the pitcher back five feet would just about suit him, and he was confident that under the new rules he would re- cover his ol/t-time grip at the bat. In speaking about the Washington elab he exhibited great satisfaction at the choice of O'Rourke for man- ager and captain and declared that it would have been hard to have made a better choice.

The athletic exhibition given at the Colam- bia Athletic Club on Saturday night was one of the best ever held in that gymnasium. The various acts were finiehed and accurate, bring- ing forth liberal applause from the large au- dience. The sparring was of a lively charac- ter. Prof. Crossley narrowly escaped injury [am one of his acts. In attempting to go from one trapeze to the other in the flying trapeze act he missed his calezlation and fell to the fivor, but luckily did not injure himself. he feature of the evening was the acrobatic act of Messrs. Crossley, Sewell and Mooney. ‘They perfortied like professionals and deserved | the recognition they received.

Sewell and lioss gave an exhibi- tion on the double trapeze which for amateurs ald be difticult to duplicate. After a single k fencing bout between Heintz and Elis, and work on the batteau by the class, the enter- tainment was closed with another sparring bout between Dr. Lindgren and M. I. O'Leary. ———_+e.

Carter, One of the Annexation Com m! sioners. Mr, Charles L. Carter of the Hawaiian annex- ation commission, as stated in Tue Stan urday, delivered a lecture on Hawaii before the National Geographic Society Friday night. ‘Mr. Carter began his remarks with a general reference to the location and geography of the Hawaiian Islands und their commercial impor- tance, He said that the eight inhabited islands have a total area somewhat less than the state of Massachusetts, but more then the combined area of the states of Connecticut aud Rhode Island. He dilated on the equability and sal brity of the climate, which fact, he said, was forcibly illustrated by the further fact that there was no word in the Hawaiixn language for weather. The Japanese current originating in the arctic region made the normal tempera- ture of the islande twelve degrees below. the temperature at corresponding points on the Atlantic coast. That there was such a current was evidenced by driftwood from the arctic regions found on Hawaiinn shores. Among tints not Jong ago was a bell buoy that bad once done duty on the northwest const of America. Storms and tides dnd broken it from its moor- ings and after a year drifting at sea it was cast ashore on one of the Hawaiian islands. The clangor of its bell attracted the attention of a passing American veerel and it was rescued and presented to the Hawaiian government, “This bell,” said Mr. Carter, “brought to our ebores the first echo of the liberty ioving music of the it republic on the face of the art’ and forma an epech in our history.” PEOPLE HOSPITABLE BUT NoN-PROGRESSIVE. He then described the native population of the islands, and enid the people were good, affa- bie and hospitable but non-progrestive. That they Iscked stamina, he said, was evidenced by the fact that they had r yet developed a successful merchant. The natives are slowly istics showing a decrease at tho rate of 1,000 a year for the last twenty years. White’ Hawaiian is a term used to describe persons born in Hawaii of white or foreign parenta, ‘These, Mr. Carter said, were the bone and sinew of the country, and were the pro- gressive elements of its nociety. - Mr. Carter said that the Chinese popnlation was industrious and economical, and that their shortcomings were offset by ‘their domestic virtues. He paid a high tribute to the industry and virtue of the Japanese and compared them with the Chinese inn most favorable manner. ‘The Japaneso, he said, adopted European cus- toms and habits of’ living and didn’t ran to claunishness and secret societi@ like the Chi- nexo. The Portuguese eame from the Azore Islands twelve years ago whence they were driven by a succession of famines. They proved good citi- zens and were characterized by a fondness for home life. “The South Sea Islanders who bad setiled in Hawaii, Mr. Carter said, were savage mpared unfavorably with the dying out, st ‘The Euranians, who formed an important ele- ment of the population of the islands, were a cross between Hawaiians and Portuguese, Ha- waiians and Chinese and Hawaiians and whites generally. ‘They are industrious, patriotic and Progressive. PRODUCTS OF THE ISLANDS. Mr. Carter referred briefly to the products of theislands. Sugar and rice were now the staple products, but the fertility of the ground offered great possibilities for the production of coffee and fruits. He predicted that in the near future every breaktast table in America would be served with Hawaiian coffee and that the vast northwest would be supplied with the tropical fruits of Hawaii. He told of the civil and religious institutions of the islands and said their government foilowed the principles of the American and English systems. In had proved very fine, but practically it had been a partial failure, owing to the inability of the natives to govern themselves and the lack ofa herd torale over them with wisdom and — . he lecture was illustrated by thirty-two slides, showing the wonderful natural, beauty of the country and the fine buildings that had been erected there. The last slide showed an American flag. It was loudly applauded. Mr. Carter made ‘no reference to the present situ- ation of affairs on the islands except in. his closing remarks, when he said that he had en- deavored to show the fertility and possibilities of the islands, with their nucleus of a desirable Popalation, which, unger proper governmental made the issue) their exclusive rigl Rhonographie “records ot the United States ine Band.

A GRAND STAND SUPPORT, A Visitor Indignant at the Treatment of the Lafayette Monument. “There is no gainsaying the fact that Wash- ington isa most beautiful city,” said a visitor from New England to a Star reporter, “nor is there any denying the equally forcible one that she is wofully lacking in the appreciation of her beauties. I don’t believe there is another in the world, certainty not in the old coun- try, that would have permitted such desecra- tion of » work of art as making a beautiful montiment serve as’ the foundation for a grand staud to view a procession from. Notwith- standing the criticisms that have been made, the Lafayette monument is the finest work of the kind in the capital, and, in my opinion, in the country. It was certainly not appropriate to hide it from tho view of the thousands of visitors at the inauguration celebration, and it was vandalism pure and simple to build a stand upon it, What haa becn theresult? ‘The sword which is being offered to Lafayette by a grateful country is bent, and there is alurge ugly chip in the pure’ whito marble of the base. Go and examine it as I did. The front of the base is composed of three large marble blocks and on the center one sits the female figure which, I believe, represents America. This central stone is chipped at its joint with the western stone. It caz never be repaired. Careless workmen dropped nails on the base and there they lay during the inaugu- ration blizzard. Wherever there was a nail there is an ugly stain of rast on the pure white marble. Ob, it wasa shame! I don't ve here, but I_am an indignant American cit- n and ‘take pride in the beauties of the na- tional capital. ‘Then think of the irreparable damage done to the beautiful trees and foliage.

IN HOUSES OWNED BY NON-RESIDENTS. The inspector of plumbing recently asked for instructions as to defective plumbing in houses where the owners are non-resident and the agent holds his tenant to his lease, but will make no improvement in the plumbing. The matter was sent to the assistant attorney, Mr. 8. T. Thomas, for opinion, who says that the Commissioners have the power to make a regu- lation fitting the case, and that if they will sub- mit a draft of such a regulation to him he will advise them as to ite form and legality. SOME INFORMATION WANTED. ‘The last appropriation bill contained a clause transferring the 10,000 appropriated by the act of March 3, 1991, for graveling the street connecting Columbia read with Connecticut avenue extended, to regulating and macadam- izing the same. It was provided. however, that the excess of cost above $10,000 should be assessed upon the property fronting on the street and avenue in proportion to the number of front feet of each lot. The Commissioners have asked the attorney's opinion on the follow- ing questions: How soon can the assessment be made? Is it necessary that the entire work shall be completed beforé any assessment can be made? How soon after the work is com pleted or the assessments made will the last assessment be due? TO CORRECT ASSESSMENTS, Chief Roome ‘of the special assessment di- vision has called the attention of the Com- missioners to the fact that the special assess- ments levied for curb and sidewalk on both sides of Florida ave:iue east, on Brightwood avenue and on Nichols avenue were made under the classification of improvements and repairs under the act of Congress approved July 14, 1892.
