Letters Brought West by Pioneer Cap
tain Healy.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 4.-Mrs. Jesse
Healy, widow of the late pioneer, has
number of interesting letters in her pos
session that were left among the effects Of
Captain Healy when he died last week
He served as quartermaster during the
war and at its close moved to this State.
One of the most valuable is letter from
James A. Garfield introducing him to Hon.
r. R. Axtell on his arrival on the coast
and is as follows:
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May "a, 1863
Hon. r. r. AItelt-DEAR SIR: Permit me 10
introduce to you my friend, Cagtain Jesse
Healy OF Newburgh Ohio. He is gentleman
whom you will be glad TO know. He served
with honor in the Union army and is an q BILE
and effective business man. He goes 20 San
Francisco 10 live and Will enter into business
there. Any favor you may be able to show him
will be gratefully received by him and oblige
me. Very truly yours, JAMES A. GARFIELD.
1t appears that Garfield was neigh bor
and warm personal friend of Healy's when
he resided in Ohio. Captain Healy knew
Lincoln, and always preserved card con-
tanning the latter's signature as sacred
remem brance. This card was given to
DR.. Adams just prior to deaths call Mrs.
Healy will go to San Francisco and reside
with her son for the present.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. IT
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sklllful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-infor1ned everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general Satisfaction.

PILEDRIvER GOES OVER.
Foreman McGovern Carried Down and
Seriously Injured.

Foreman MCGOvern Carried Down and
Seriously Injured.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 4.-The pile
driver at work on Temescal Creek, al
Shattuck avenue, fell over from the false
work this afternoon and went to the bot
tom Of the creek, thirty feet below. Fore
man A. J. McGovern, who was standing
on the machine at the time directing the
work, went down with IL and was seriously
if not fatally injured.
Supervisor Pelouze is having bulkhead
put in at that point by Cotton Bros. & Co.,
to prevent the water from washing away
the bridge foundations. Some half dozen
or more piles have been driven, on which
the driver was standing. The two-ton ham,
mer was at top and a pile was being
hauled from the bed of the creek into posi-
tion to drive, when the whole thing top
pied over into the creek, carrying the
foreman with it. The workingmen below
were warned in time to escape by run
ninz.
Mr.. McGovern was extricated and re-
moved to the Anchor brewery and at
tended to by DR.. Kuckein, who was pres
ent at the time. Word was sent to the
city and the patrol was sent out to remove
the injured man to the Receiving Hospi-
tai, where he was closely examined by Drs.
Hamlin and Johnson. 1t was found that
be had four ribs broken on the left side,
and ii is feared he is internally injured, as
he vomited blood. He was removed to his
home, 359 Tenth street, later in the day.

The claim in this case is that the
defendant has the right to sever a con-
nectiOn which they were not obliged TO
make, and, there being no longer one
continuous trip, that passengers are
liable for two fares.
The system of the street railway in
Honolulu operated by defendant is a
genral one and all its lines make con-
nectiOns, and in nearly all, by means
OF curves, a continuous track or rail is
laid so that a continuous trip can be
made from point TO point within the
limits of the five cent fare. The statute
does not give the right to the defendant
to treat any one line as a single road.
The statute is clear and not ambigu-
Gus. and shows that a passenger travel
ling on the cars within the limits
stated by said Section 9, Chap. 81, can
only be charged a fare of five cents.
The company must regulate its bust
ness in accordance with the terms OF
the statute granting its franchise, and
1t has power and right to make reason
able regulations for the government
and carrying of its passengers and the
collection of fares and the conduct Of
its business. But the fact that it neg
lects or refuses to make suitable reg
ulatiOns to protect itself against fraud
Dy passengers, does not permit 1t to
charge q fare in excess of that allowed
by law. 1t being within it's power to
carry passengers within the specified
boundaries on a continuous trip, il
cannot by mere division of this trip
by causing a change of cars at any
particular point acquire the right to
make a second charge of fare for the
same trip.
1t is clear that the company was en-
titled to charge but one fare of five |
cents in this case. By a mere change !
Of cars the company does not become |
entitled to an additional fare. A per- |
son travelling on the cars of the de-
PENDANT, however, must be a passenger |
and must make a continuous trip so
far as practicable and this from one
point within the limits specified to an
other point therein, and he is not en-
titled to return upon the road for the
)ne fare for it would not be the same
rip.
Exceptions overruled.

tate's estate. l Am. & Eng. Enc. Of
Law, 223.
The rents collected by Malika Keone
and G. NJ Keone were from outside
parties, not benefits from their own oc-
cupation of the premises, and it is nee
essary to show custer TO enable one
cO-tenant to recover from another only
in case of benefits derived from actual
use and occupation of the land by the
co-tenant. In Haw. Com. 6, S. Co. V
Waikapu S. Co, Haw., 80, this Court
was careful to distinguish a claim on
a co-tenant for rents from third parties
from one for profits from actual use by
the co-tenant

The Cincinnati Enquirer, the lead
ing newspaper of Ohio, and knows Me-
Kinley from A to q, has this to say Of
him:
I'VE have always told our Republi-
can friends that they cannot do better
than to take our comedy little Napo-
leon, whose name is the adjective
which describes the highest tariff bill
ever framed. II they want protection,
where is the man who dare to favor
higher duties than Mckinley? If they
want gold standard man the Republic
cans OF that persuasion know that Gov
ernor Mckinley would as soon be
caught playing poker on SUNDAY in a
corner saloon anywhere in the city
Of Cincinnati, with the windows
open, as to do anything antagonistic to
associated banks, the chamber of conn
mercc or the stock exchange OF New
York City. II the silver coinage Re
publicans want candidate of their
/. way OF thinking: we point with pride
TO the Mckinley straddle in the recent
State Conyention--a straddle which
outstraddles the Minneapolis National
Convention straddle of 1892, or the
straddle Of the Democratic National
Convention of the same year. OF course,
the bimetallists are fully aware that
the Republican party cannot favor sill
yer coinage without losing indispensa-
BILE Eastern States, besides having the
gold shoulder from Wall street when
asking for campaign subscriptions.
But while the '.Grand Old Party, is
obliged to stand by the gold faction, Me-
kinley, If given control Of the National
Convention, will give them the hand
soonest silyer-plated gold-bug resolu-
tion that has ever been framed. Those
OF the Republican politicians in the far
West who are only for silver to please
their constituents can pretend to really
believe that the Mckinley straddle
means free silver coinage. SO, take 1t
for all in all, our own Mckinley can
probably do the two-horse act, with the
horses going in the opposite directions,
with less damage to himself than any
other politician of his tiple."

The board was authorized to nego-
tiate loan OF twenty thousand dollars
tsa0, COO, and was instructed to push
the construction of the canal with all
rapidly. One-fourth cash and three
fourth ditch stock will be paid all
workmen. Water will be through the
first division, p miles, for this years
crop.
A committee of three was appointed
to aid in the location of settlers and to
see that every one complied with the
requirements of the law in cultivating
and developing the land. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that no one should
be allowed to hold land illegally, but
that the full requirements of the law
should be complied with or the claims
would be contested. A committee was
also appointed to make Investigations
looking to the inducements that might
be offered capitalists for the establish
ment of industries, such as canneries,
dairies, gristmills, ETC., also to the pos
sibilities OF having bridge built across
the river al Cuffs and at the Grover
Bench, the one to make more direct
route to Blackfoot, the other to Poca-
tello.
A resolution was adopted and will be
widely published, inviting all people
who desire TO build homes, to come
and settle under the Peoples canal and
receive water and canal stock on the
same terms as the original settlers.

Easter HareS.

About Easter time hares are almost
as common as eggs in the shop window,
and many boys and girls may wonder
why this is so. 1t ID plain why the ego
should be used. The life which comes
after so long time, from the lifeless
looking egg, makes it especially typical
of the resurrection. It Is not so clear
what the hare has to do with Easter
Sunday.
Easter is feast regulated by the
moon. That is, it is appointed by the
church that Easter should fall upon
the first Sunday after the first full
moon which fell upon or after the yer.
nal equinox" Now, the hare is the
animal which the ancients considered
sacred to the moon, and proper to be
used at all feasts regulated by the moon.
So among the old customs which have
been handed down to us from the old,
old days is that which still uses the
hare as well as the egg in the pretty
fanciful decorations suitable for our
great spring festival-E Easter Sunday.

The Failure Of Congress.


A New York paper has been inter-
viewing merchants and business men
in the principal commercial centers OF
the country as to the Influences which
have checked the favoring prospects OF
t'ade that prevailed last fall. The gen.
eral opinion thus obtained is to the Eff
feet that the explanation lies mainly in
the course that has been pursued by
Congress. That body had fine OPP
portunity to promote the revival of bus
mess, TO restore confidence and TO en-
courage enterprise. The people looked
to it for sound and practical legislation
on subjects vitality related to the ma
tional prosperity. 1t assembled with a
perfect understanding of what was ex-
pected of 1t. The November elections
had left no room for doubt about the
popular desire with regard to measures
.of relief and stimulation. Every mem
Der knew what his constituents wanted.
and how they could be benefited. But
the important duty of carrying out the
well defined and well emphasized will
of the people was treated with indiffer-
ence, and subordinated to comparative
ly light and irrelevant considerations.
The business interests of the land
waited for helpful legislation only to
be disappointed. Instead of the as
sistance that they had anticipated,
they got kind of treatment that was
lenervating and dispiriting, and all OF
their sunny calculations were more or
less eelipsed.
1t is a notorious fact that the session
has been principally devoted to speech
making upon topics having little or
nothing to do with the material well
fare of the country. This abundance
of vocal deliyerance has not served 10
turn a single one of the idle wheels
in the factories, or to furnish work for
single unemployed laborer, or to add
cent TO the profits of any kind of a
trader. 1t has pertained entirely to
vague possibilities of war, to remote
and improbable contingencies, and to
matters of superficial and transient
nature, This is particularly true of
the Senate. The members of that
branch of Congress, with few excep-
tions, have seemed to be more anxious
TO evade and postpone important duties
than to perform them. There has
been constant disposition, apparently
TO talk serious obligations out of sight,
and to prevent all legislation bearing
directly and advantageously upon com
mercial and industrial affairs. Bills
intended to improve financial condi-
tions and accelerate business opera
tions have been slaughtered without
mercy, or thrust aside by parliamentary
strategy. It is no wonder, therefore.
that the gratifying prospects of trade
which existed last fall have failed to
maintain their brightness. Congress
has done nothing to better the situa-
tion and hasten the return Of good
times: and the country now contem-
plates it only with an anxious hope for
its adjournment as soon as possible. -
