Rescued From the Bay.

An old man in the crew of the Zea-
landia went over the side of that
steamer and into the bay at the Ocean
ic dock last Saturday night. An alarm
was sounded by the customs officer on
watch on the deck and the quarter
master of the ship, taking a coil of
rope with him went to the rescue. The
old man was hauled on deck and placed
in charge of the doctor. Some of the
men thought it was case Of attempt
at self-destruction. The old man found
his work difficult and seemed to be en-
tirely without acquaintances.

HOUSE.
Eleventh Day, March 1


The answer of the Justices of the
Supreme Court to the question pro-
pounded by Representative Paris was
received and read. The gist OF the
whole communication is contained in
the latter part as follows:
MIR. Cooper takes the Office of Act
ing President by virtue of Article 36
of the Constitution and to do so the
only qualification that he must possess
is that he be the Minister of Foreign
Affairs. Whether Mr.. Cooper is eligi-
bic to the elective Office of President
is altogether foreign to the question
and cannot be inquired into
We desire to call the attention OF
the Cabinet to Article 81 of the Con-
stitution, which prescribes as follows:
"The Justices of the Supreme Court
when requested by the President or the
Cabinet, shall render opinions upon
questions of law upon solemn occa-
sions." We doubt very much whether
the occasion which has given rise to
it's question submitted for our opin-
ion is one of the character required
in the Constitution.
The Minister of Finance, in answer
ing the question of Representative
Kaeo, regarding the eligibility to vote
of certain of the employees of the Gus
tom House, presented the following

youth and early manhood were pass
ed upon his fathers farm, having, in
the meantime, the advantages of a
good education. His brother J. NJ.
Horner had gone to California in 1916,
and w. Y. Horner would have accom-
panied him had it not been for his
youth. His brother had come to the
land of gold that-was-to-b be with
Sam" Brannan, well known to old
Californians, to engage in farming.
Young Horner was of an ambitious and
enterprising temperament, and the

mont's celebrated expedition, famed
the flame. At length, when the news
of the discovery of gold flashed over
the country, he determined to come to
California, the land of promise. He
selected the Panama route, and passed
through the Golden Gate in December,
1849, after long and tedious passage.
His brother was engaged in raising
vegetables for the San Francisco mar
ket at Mission San Jose, now Alame-
da County, but which was then a
part of Santa Clara County. The busi-
ness was a very profitable one in ''the
early days." and w. Y Horner be-
came associated with his brother there
in. Vegetables brought enormous
prices, and an idea of the immense
profits realized from their sale may
be formed when it is said that cab
bages commanded from two to five
dollars a head, with other vegetables
proportionately high, while the Messrs.
Horner paid as high as sixteen dollars
an ounce for onion seedS-their weight
in gold. Mr.. Horner remained in this
business, and generally with great sue
cess, but also met with reverses from
stringency in money and panics, so
common in the early history of Cali
fOrnia. He also became interested with
his brother in real estate Speculations
on an extensive scale, and with vary
ing success, and made his home in
Alameda County and San Francisco or
vicinity until some sixteen years ago.
Mr.. w. Y. Horner and his brother
| first came to the Islands in 1879, char
tering schooner and bringing their
| families with them. They entered in
| to a contract with the Hawaiian Com
mercial and Sugar Company at Spreck-
| elsville to grow cane for their mill
and at the expiration of two years thus
engaged the subject of this sketch
came to Lahaina, and took a contract
to raise cane for the plantation al
that place. The business was a sue
cess and Mr.. Horner's affairs ever
since were in a highly prosperous
condition. In the management of his
business affairs he exhibited ability
and good management of a high order
He was first in the Legislature as a
Noble from Maui
In recent years, Mr.. Horner had Civ
en- much attention to the coffee indus
try and had fine bearing plantation
As a Senator and supporter of the
Government, Mr.. Homer was a man
whose views were valued as those ot

THE WASHINGTON COUNTY LINE.

THE WASHINGTON COUNTY LINE.
The most interesting and important
event in railroading in Maine since the
completion Of the Bangor and Aroostook
line will be the opening for tratdc within
short time of the new Washington
County railroad, extending from Wash
ington junction on the Maine Centrals
Bangor and Bar Harbor branch, to Calais
and Eastport. This is the most easterly
railroad in the United States. Twenty
seven years ago the project of the WASH
inton County or Shore line road was first
advanced, and last Sunday evening the
last rail was laid in the town of Cherry
field. Washington county has suffered
from poor transportation facilities, the
principal towns having been reached from
Bangor only by steamer, sailing vessels,
stage coach or a roundabout railroad ride
via Mattawamkeag. Vanceboro, McAdam
Junction and st. Andrews. N. B. The
new road will afford rapid and sy COM
munication with Bangor and the West,
and it is expected now that the county,
rich in natural resources, and with A, 900
Inhabitants will flourish as never before.

DOG GONE.
J. P. Morgan's $3,OOO Bull Pub Killed
 in Fight With a Maltese Cat.

From the Chicago Journal.
 was too astute a financier to lose 5000 on a cat fight, but he has just buried an in- vestment representing that sum of money because 1t was in the form of a mortal bull pup instead of enduring stocks and bonds.
 The death and burial of His Nibs'' make an instructive story not only of bad invest ment by great financer. but of misdi- rected ambition on the part of the dog.7
 His Nibs'' had properly bow legs and a mouth like coal hole lined with spikes, but when he attacked Maltese cat he entered on a style of fighting for which he was not intended. Miss Cat did not seek to engage the forward turret of His Nibs and shut off his wind by jaw press ure ,as a dog might have done, but went at him all over with her rapid-fre claws and raked him fore and aft until, witt ness said, he looked like plate. of spas- hetti. 1+f tooth on the foe, but beached himself in a fence corner. He was discovered to be beyond repair, and soon grew discouraged and gave up the ghost.
 He was buried with high honors, and people who have not consulted the family are suggesting that since it was a Maltese cat that vanquished him, his memorial take the form of Maltese cross.
 And that ends His Nibs." He never paid a dividend, and if there is any profit in his life 1t is the lesson of his leaving it. that one should choose we'll his enemies before he chews them.
