Story III.-This story is simply
an example of the "discretion" exer-
cised by the officers with the good
intentions. 1t shows that China
mans horse is very much different
from "haole's" animal. A few days
ago prominent citizen OF Nuuanu
valley sold a horse which he has
been driving for seven years to his
neighbor, Chinese taro planter.
The "pake" hitched up his new
horse and started for town. Near
School street he was halted by po-
lice officer "with good intentions"
who told him that he was arrested
and had to 60 to the Station House
for driving lame horse. The China
man did not "come up" That is,
he did not put the expected silver
plaster over the eye Of the admins
traitor of the law, but be simply said !:
"Allight, me go station. Horse ale
same belong Mr.. who drive him
evely day" The policeman pocket
ed his "good intentioss"-it was all
he had TO pocket-and disappeared,
growing because the id pake
didn't. tell him that it was Mr.. IS
horse. All of which shows that
what is sauce for the haole horse is
not always sauce for Chinese mare.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-11-04

The unfortunate trouble is, how
ever, that the humane" business
has been overdone, and that in spite
OF the good intentions of the agent
and her officers the whole business
has become the laughing stock of
the community, and is causing seri
GUS trouble to the Government.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-11-04

In Hawaii we have not yet found
societies for the protection of poor
children, the fact being that horse
or q cat is of more interest and value
to our good people than Chinese
child, for instance. All OF us can
get a child, but not a horse. 1t
costs money and represents dollars
and cents, the idols of our virtuous
Christians.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-11-04

The animals, however, had to be
protected, and Hawaii for a while
was blessed with a society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals.
The society collapsed but tho auth
critics took the matter up, and a
prominent young lady was kind
enough to accept the Office of spe-
cial police officer detailed to look
after the treatment Of dumb ami
mails. The young lady deserves the
praise OF the community for sacri-
fcing her time to the carrying out
OF public interests, and she has been
ably supported by the Marshal and
his men who suddenly became "hu-
name" and full of energy whenever
q lame mule or cat with "cold"
we're in question.

BOX CAR BROKE DOWN.
II Was Loaded with Iron BiIIets and Did
Some Damage at Scranton Street
Crossing.

The breakdown of a box car heavily
loaded with iron billets at the Scran-
ton street crossing on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Bloomsbury
division yesterday afternoon resulted
in a tearing up of the tracks for dis
tance of about seventy-five yards. The
accident happened at 1.30 o'clock and
the track was blocked for a number of
hours afterward. No one was hurt.
Engine No. 60 was pulling a freight
train bound for Minooka and when a
few yards north of the crossing the
front truck of one of the box cars in
the middle of the train became de-
tached. The swerve of the curve at
that point forced the truck off the
track. The train at the time was GO
ing at about fifteen miles an hour and
the broken truck cut across the board
crossing and pounded along on the ties,
the wheels cutting deep ridges in the
wood and earth.
Only a few yards had been traversed
when the disabled truck pulled the rear
truck of the car ahead from the track.
The contour of the curve brought both
trucks toward the next track and the
west wheels were grazing along the
east rail. The body " both box cars,
fortunately, did not fall.
After the train was brought to a
standstill the wreck car was quickly
on the scene and the disabled cars
switched for the day.
The damage done by the heavy wheels
consisted only of ruts in the earth be-
tween the tracks. When the train
stopped the car wheels were imbedded
in the earth up to the axles.

A REAL CLAM BAKE.
II Was Enjoyed by Number Of Railroad
Men and Their Friends at
Lake Poyntelle.

Seldom have the picnic grounds at
Lake Poyntelle contained a larger and
never a better satisfied throng of
merry-makers than attended yesterday
the annual outing and clambake of the
George w. West division, No. 46S,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
There were fifteen coaches-ful of ex-
cursionists who came by rail and as
many more who drove in from the sur
rounding country, making in all 1000
participants in the appetizing event.
1t was a clam bake such as Scran-
tonians wot little of. Prepared under
the direction of a past master in the
art, Ward Edwards, of Middletown, N.
Y, an original down Fastener who
had learned the knack on the shores Of
old Rhode Island, 1t was a revelation
to those who had never made the ac-
quaintance of the real New England
article. In addition to clans of prime
flavor steamed on a three-foot bed of
| heated stones there were steamed blue
fish, succulent toasting ears, sweet
potatoes done to the limit, and chicken
fit to set before a king. These constit-
| uents are not novel, but the perfection
of their preparation gave a zest to this
| known in these parts. In addition to
the bake, the Mozart band, of Carbon
dale, furnished music for the dancers
in the pavilion and there was the usual
variety of refreshment booths and
| amusement purveyors.
The morning special left Scranton
on the Ontario and Western at 7.3C
| o'clock, with Conductor Galland and
| Frank Collins in charge. The return
was made at 7.30 p. m. Among the
| prominent railroad men present at the
bake were G. w. West, of Middletown
N. Y, superintendent of motive power;
George O'Neil, general foreman, and C
H. Hopkins, superintendent, of Middle.

THE NEXT GREAT EVENT.
Strong Prospect That "A Terrible War
Will Soon Rage in India.

All indications point to a religious
war in India; therefore the comprehen-
sive article on this subject which will
be feature of next Sundays Philadel-
phia Press" august 29), will interest
everybody. Not less attractive, though
in an entirely different line, will be the
story of the antics and ambitions of
young Garrett A. Hobart, the bright
son of the vice-president of the United
States. Next Sundays Press" will
also tell exclusively how some North
Carolnians have grown rich by de-
frauding the government; a wonderful
floating palace will be described, and
the first information given of a marine
discovery of the highest Importance.
Other features will be numerous.
1t Is well to bear in mind that THE
Sunday Press" is not ly one of the
largest and best illusti ed papers in
the country, but that, aile there is
entertainment and instru lion in every
page, nothing which can offend, or is
Objectionable in any sense is admitted
to it's columns. THE Sunday Press" is
always the greatest home Sunday pa
per. Order the next issue today. ~
