his ship with a dummy man on it COG

MISS MURPHY'S TOOTHACEE
A Hippopotamus Aching Tooth Which
Cannot Be Drawn.

New York, Aug. 25-Miss Murphy's
toothache seems to be causing pain to
nearly every one who visits the menag-
erie in Central park. Fifty per cent of
visitors to the tank of the suffering
hippopotamus have suggestions to
make, most of which are foolish.
Some think the broken tooth should
be filled with gold or silver, but as the
cavity is large enough to hold a large
quantity Of gold or silver the precious
metals are out of the question.
DR.. w. A Conk1in, an expert on all
matters relating to the treatment of
animals, says it would be almost an
impossibility to draw the broken tooth.

DONE IN l:O4.
Was the Match Race Between Billy G
and AntidOte.
In Which the Old Time Winner Gets
Left and the New Blood
BobS up.

At4 p m Saturday the stands at Ka-
piolani Park and places near by were
well filled with people interested in the
five-eighths mile dash between the ri
val race horses, Billy G. and Antidote,
but they were forced to curb their i'm
patience until 4:30 on account of the
usual delay in getting the horses ready.
Captain Trip, Theo. Hoffman and j.
F. Colburn were appointed judges, and
C. B. Wilson starter.
Shortly after the time mentioned
above the horses were at their places,
Bob Isom riding Billy C. and Cal Leon
ard on Antidote
The start was good one, with Billy
G. little in the lead. Antidote closed
up the gap in a short time, and then it
was neck and neck to the home stretch
when the Billy G. contingent saw that
their favorite was gradually dropping
behind and that Antidote was holding
on as if defeat meant death. Just before
reaching the finish Billy C. gained two
or three inches, but it was impossible
for him to catch Antidote. Time, 1:04
Bob Isom, the colored jockey from
the States, who rode Billy c., did his
work very well, but to many of the
sports it seemed as if he did not know
the horse, and that the little native
jockey who had ridden him in previous
races could have obtained far better re-
suits.
Cal Leonard went into the race tC
win, and perhaps he never rode so vel
in his life as he did while speeding
away from the five-eighths on Saturda!

The claim in this case is that the
defendant has the right to sever 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
genraI 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 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 single road.
The statute is clear and not ambigu-
Gus. and shows that passenger travel
ling on the cars within the limits
stated by said Section 8, Chap. "a, can
only be charged fare of five cents.
The company must regulate its bust
ness in accordance with the terms OF
the statute granting its franchise, and
it 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
by passengers, does not permit it to
charge fare in excess of that allowed
by law It being within its power to
carry passengers within the specified
boundaries on continuous trip, it
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 mere change
of cars the company does not become
entitled to an additional fare. A per-
son travelling on the cars of the de-
fendant, however, must be passenger
and must make a continuous trip SC
far as practicable and this from one
point within the limits specified to an
other point therein, and he is not en-
titled to a return upon the road for the
one fare for it would not be the same
trip.
Exceptions overruled.

little previous had been attached to
Paul Isenberg's buggy.
When Mr.. Isenberg drove into town
he went to the Metropolitan Meat Mar
ket, and after tieing his horse to the
post near the alley leading in back of
The market, went inside on business.
1t seems that All Sun was backing
out of the alley just little later, and
not having his distances well gagged,
ran into the telephone post to which
Mr. Isenberg's horse was tied. The ami
NAL became frightened and jerked back,
this action pulling off the bride and
of course the blidrers.
When the animal spied the China
mans wagon it made bolt and start
ed off.
Just little ahead and on the same
side of the street was Dr. Miners bug

kept on it's way.
