I didn't know until the other day that
the railroads employed track-walkers,
who patrol the railroad track for 10 miles
back and forth 20 note the fact OF worn
out or loosened sleepers, washouts, etc.
The "Nixon system OF railroad telephon-
ing" will come in handy for the track,
walker. For instance, IL he is equipped
with transmitter OF the Nixon company
between stations he cap step TO tele-
graph pole, unlock the box, put in the
plug attached to the wire Of his transmit
ter, ring up the office and Immediately
put himself in communication with the
proper official, to whom he is desirous of
reporting. In case of accident IL Is in
dispensable, and for many other purposes
night and day conductors would find 1t
most convenient. The system in full
working order may be seen at 500 Indus
trial Trust Company building.
A delightful excursion is scheduled for
Watch Hill by the "City of Boston" to-
morrow.
The sea serpent was trife late in COM
ing, owing, possibly, to the inclemency of
the weather, but as long as the summer
IL not to pass without chronicling the
fact OF it's advent, we may be said to have
entered the silly season.
This evening II you glance in the win
dows, or better still, in the store, OF the

street, you will be convinced that busi-
ness remains up to grade at this place
The clothing Is sold at price which
nttrats attention. IL a customer is not
perfectly satisfied exchanges will be
cheerfully made. When a man can OBJ
tain a suit of clothes of good quality and
well made for 500, suitable TO wear on
any and all occasions, he is not going to
let the opportunity pass. That is the rea-
son you see the crowds in the Misfit
Clothing Parlors.

Providence is making some tremendous
strides ahead. People with money who

imprisoned as debtor in Fleet prison,
London. His tutor was Pearce, "The
Chicken" then noted as the champion
of England, and after he had acquired
pretty thorough knowledge Of ring tao
tics he attempted to whip ''The Chick
en-. - The battle lasted two hours, during
which Gully received very severe pun
ishment and was finally dragged from
the ring by his friends. When Pearce
died, Gully was offered the champion
ship Of England, but refused the title.
In 1906 Gully whipped Bob GregsOn,
pugilist of great size and strength
GregsOn was not satisfied with the YER
dict, and the men met again, with the
same result. Gully then became q pub
lie house keeper, q bOOkmaker and
horse owner and finally succeeded III
breaking into parliament as a commoner
from Pontefract. His son, J. Mandy Gull
", the sire of William Court Gully,
was a we'll known physician who gained
considerable unenviable notoriety in
connection with the famous Bravo poi
soning case 20years ago. Mrs. Florence
Bravo was alleged to have poisoned her
husband that she might marry DIR.
Gully.
William Court Gully was born in
London 60 years ago and was educated
at Trinity college, Cambridge He was
called to the bar at the Inner Temple
in 1860. In 1877 he became queens
counsel; he was bencher of his inn in
1879 and was appointed recorder of
Wigan in 1886. In 1880 and 1885 he
unsuccessfully sought election to parlia-
ment from Whitehaven, but was elect
ed member for Carlisle in 1886 and has
been in the commons ever since. He is
a man of little reputation and influence
and merely gets the prize because ADLER
men are deadloclled in a struggle for the
office. The speakers salary is $25, 900
a year, and his pension when he retires
is $4,000

KAMEHAMEHA ARBOR DAY.
Large Number Of Trees Planted By
Principal Richards and Scholars.

-
The 18th of June was spent by
different persons in different ways.
At Kamehameha the day was de-
voted to planting trees in the valley
Immediately back of the school
grounds.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, with
Professor T. Richards and other
teachers of the institution as lead
ers, one hundred and twenty mem
bers of the senior and preparatory
departments, laden with a hundred
orange, lemon, alligator pear, man
go, species of pine and eucalyptus
trees, thirty-four melons, which ar
rived in safe condition, 358 pounds
of paiai, likewise in good order,
salmon and other edibles, marched
four miles up the valley over rocks
and through places difficult of
passage, to spot favorable for
tree planting.
These were divided equally
dLHOIlS InO SlA CIdS5Co VI CLIC oCLI-
ior department which, in turn,
made speeches and planted trees
assigned to them with all the class
spirit imaginable on such an occa-
sion.
A pig was taken up for the pur-
pose of having lively chase, after
the planting of trees, but every
one was so tired when this time
arrived that the pig was not un-
tied, but brought back to the
school.
At 4 o'clock the return was
made. After little rest, games of
baseball were arranged. These
created a great deal of excitement
for the spectators.
The Inauguration of the 18th of
June as Kamehameha Arbor Day
was success.

Accidents on the nth.

Marks of the 18th of June were
visible along the Waikiki road to
the race track yesterday. At the
bend of King street to the Waikiki
road was a smashed up hack; q
little further along was dead
horse, the result of a Chinaman's
reckless driving; then came tele-
phone post with large piece taken
out by contact with a streetcar :;
finally a two-seated carriage in
collapsed condition.

RACES ON THE FOURTH OF JULY,
Jockey Club May Offer Small
Purses for Numerous Events.
Horsemen Anxious for the Meeting.
Talk Of Match Races-Secretary Wilder
VIII Resign-Dissensions In Club.

There was more or less talk about
town yesterday regarding the mer-
its and dement's Of the horses that
won and lost on Tuesday. Many
plausible theories were advanced as
to what caused certain horses to
run and trot below the mark ex-
pected and developed.
Winners and losers alike take
defeat and victory with easy grace.
Popular agitation among horse
men is for race meeting at the
park on the Fourth of July. Claims
are made that such an event could
be carried out with but little ex-
penge to all parties concerned. The
horses are in good condition and
will require but little additional
training.
A number of match races were
discussed yesterday, and from nego-
tiations now pending, several will
be arranged if inducements are
held out by the Jockey Club.
It is understood that the Jockey
Club contemplates offering small
purses for several events on the
Fourth. A meeting Of the executive
committee will likely be held this
evening to discuss the matter.
There seems to be a general de-
sire on the part of horsemen and
others for such a meeting, but
whatever is done must be decided
on at once and before the horses
now in the city are returned to
their respective owners.
Report is current that there is
some dissension among members Of
the Jockey Club, as a result of
which Frank Halstead, of Waialua,
has resigned his membership in
the organization.
Secretary S. G. Wilder has signi-
fed his intention of resigning, the
duties of that position interfering
with others more pressing.

GULLY's PUGlLlsTlc GRANDFATHER

The Grandson of Prizefghter Speaker
of the House of Commons.
If any of the sporting blood of PugiI-
ist John Gully runs in the veins of his
grandson, William Court Gully, the
new speaker of the British house of
commons, he should have no difficulty in
maintaining order.
Ninety years ago John Gully was the
Jim Corbett of Great Britain. He was
ashifty, two handed fighter and learned
the rudiments of the fistic art while

went TO Durango, Colo, for his health.
! He bought q pony and spent most Of his
! time riding about the country. While
On one Of his journeys he stopped at
! Pennington, y. NJ, q town 60 miles
south Of Durango and located near the
Navajo reservation, q tract Of land 125
miles long and 80 miles wide. BeCOm-
ing interested in the red men, he pene-
trated 10 the very heart Of their country
despite the fact that at that time they
were none too friendly toward white
men. He soon acquired knowledge Of
the Navajo language, and the thrift and
industry Of the indians led him to think
very seriously Of remaining with them.
He had many exciting experiences and
narrowly escaped being killed on a
number of occasions, bat the majority
Of the Indians became very fond Of him,
and his popularity has steadily in
creased.
One secret Of his great success was
the fact that he had considerable knOWl-
edge Of medicine and treated the sick
Indians. He established a drug store
and soon became known to the Indians
as the Big Medicine Man. The white
settlers, however, call him Navajo Bill.
During his residence with the Navajoes
he has completely recovered his health
and is SO delighted with life on the res
ervation that he has no idea of ever
leaving it. He takes part in all the
ceremonies of the tribe, is always con-
suited when any brave squaw or pa
poose is sick and is by far the most in
huential man among the Navajoes. Some
pessimists maintain that the only good
Indian is dead one, but the Navajoes
are hardly within this category. They
are hard workers and have maintained
themselves without assistance from the
government, it is said, for over 80
years. With a white chief to direct
their affairs and counsel with them
they will doubtless make quicker strides
toward civilization.

Don't Trim Postal Cards.

1t is ruled by tho postal authorities
that any reduction Of the size of a post
al card by clipping. rounding off the
corners or otherwise will subject the re-
celver OF the caId to 4 charge of l cent
on delivery. This makes the cost of a
postal card equivalent to letter postage.
