A BROKEN JAW.
Serious Fractures Result From 2
Fall on a Shin.

Serious Fractures Result From a
Fall on a Ship.
Yesterday morning. while inspecting
the British ship Iredale, Customs In
spector Mark Johnston, fell from be-
tween-decks into the hold. He struck
on some railroad iron, breaking his
jaw in two places and dislocating three
fingers. The fall rendered him sense
less and it was some little time before
he regained consciousness and was able
to make his way on deck. With the
assistance of Commodore Hewitt, he
was rowed to the Oceanic dock and a
carriage procured which conveyed him
to the Office of DR.. Wayson. Chloro-
form was administered and with the
assistance of Drs. Blake and McMil-
Ian, DR.. Wayson set the fractured
bone. Mr.. Johnston was soon after
removed to his home on. Likelike
street. An inopportune coughing fit
necessitated the resetting of the frac-
tured jaw. 1t is the opinion of the
attending physician that the patient
is seriously but not dangerously in
jured, and that he will not recover
sufficiently to attend to his duties
for six weeks or more.
Mark Johnston is very well known
in Honolulu and has many friends.
He came here in 1894, from San Jose
and was first in the tailoring, then in
the candy business. He was at one
time a lieutenant in Company B, N.

Temporarily.

A lady whose nervousness was GER
tainly not assumed made an unneces-
sary call at one of the Government Of
fees last week. Her trip and furry
were occasioned by misconception of
some municipal regulation operating as
to residents of Honolulu only. The
lady and her husband belonged on one
of the other island, and were merely
sojourners in the capital. She was de-
termined to make this fact clear and
repeated the statement several times
This is the way she expressed it: eve
don't belong in Honolulu. We're only
visiting here Immediately, that's all;
just here Immediately. The clerk
managed to explain Immediately" and
at length the lady departed satisfied.

young Elliott Fitch Shepard and Mrs

Still. they know a good many things now
that they didn't know at first. The young
couple are at the Plaza Hotel, and add

ing their mouths closed.
Elliott Fitch Shepard is the only son of

THE DOLPHIN DONATION.

II is given out that President Nc
Kinley has paid $40 for the use of the
Government dispatch boat during his late
expedition upon the waters of the Chesa-
peake.
In this matter he goes so better than
Mr.. Cleveland ever did so far as we
know. but we doubt If the President has
met the question squarely Could any
nrivate citizen hire the Dolphin upon
the same terms? OF course not. If
we are mistaken in this. we doubt not
that the Old Dominion Fishing and Yacht
Club. of Richmond, would like to en-
gage the Dolphin for their next cruise.
For our part. we have never seriously
cavilled about the use of the Dolphin for
presidential excursions. If Mr.. Mckinley
will only be a good President. and will
only see TO it that none but Wholesome
laws are passed. we can afford to lend
him the Dolphin occasionally. although 1t
may not be strictly proper TO do so.
But if he is to be stricken in conscience
as TO his right to use Government
property without due compensation. we
trust he will be stricken deep. and will
nay the entire bill of expenses of the
Dolphin during her absence from Wash
ington in the service of himself, family,

If $40 really be all that he has paid for
himself and party. we are bound to
say that that sum would not even 50
rnuch as nav the masters salary for
the time stated.

CHANDELIERS IRE.

Senator Chandler has startled the coun-
try with his proposition that the gov
eminent shall seize the Bethlehem and
Carnegie Iron-Works and operate them
upon government account until the ar
mor-plate we need is made.
The reason for this is that the great
iron-masters refuse to furnish the plate
now much needed for several warships
which are in progress of construction
not being satisfied with the terms offered
While it would seem probable that in
the exercise of eminent domain the gov
eminent could lawfully do what Mr..
Chandler proposes. we doubt if it would
be good policy for it to exercise that
privilege now If we were in the midst
Of war. why then the case would be
different.
And we much fear that should such sci
zure be made the government would De
heavily mulcted when the Court Of Claims
came to assess damages.
As rule, courts and juries are very
liberal-with other peoples money-in as
sessing damages in condemnation pro-
ceedings, and in the case in hand we can
see no reason why the rule would be
varied.
However, Mr.. Chambers proposition
NAV cause such a discussion and invest-
cation as will enable the government and
the iron-masters TO get together as TO
terms for such armor-plate as we need.

the birch-bud shyly swells,
And the hylas pipe in chorus like string
of silver bells;
When the first ecstatic robin, truant from
his wiser kin.
In the gray and dripping orchard tunes
his lusty violin,
Something steals upon my spirit-some-
thing sweet | cannot name
Like a heartbeat family pulsng from the

All, so delicate and fragrant the assu-
rance in the air
That my sonl still holds some converse
with the souls of otherwhere,
That the winter OF my aging shall not
bind me low and lorn,
But restore me to the freshness or my
loves creation morn,
Yea. though dark and straight the portal
OF my passing / shall see
All that sudden blue of heaven arching
grandly over me!
Such a mystical, sweet promise, when the
wind blows from the south.
And a bird is in the orchard with Coo
greeting in his mouth!
