A FRIGHTENED HACK HORSE
MAKES SPEED HE NEVER MADE
BEFORE.
Lands on His Side Under A Plate
Glass Window-Causes Wonder That
He Didn't Break 1t.

A runaway which included several re-
markable escapes from injury and dam
age, occurred just at IL o'clock this morn
ing. A horse attached to a hack was
left by Robert Harrison i'm charge of a
boy at the hack stand on Merchant
street nearly opposite the building late
ly occupied by the Womans Exchange
A mounted soldier came galloping along
from the direction of the Judiciary
building. The clatter of the gallopng
horse i'm the mud scared the hack ami
NAL and he started to run. The sud
denness with which he started snapped
the whiffie-tree in two, broke the strap
that held the breeching, and left the
horse free of the hack, scarcely moving
the vehicle from the position it had oc-
Cupied.
The animal, thoroughly frightened
ran at full speed toward Fort street.
He tried to turn makai, but his momen-
tum and the slippery street carried him
on to the stone sidewalk on the Fort
street side of the Honolulu Tobacco
company's store. AS he struck the
stone tagging his feet flew from under
him, landing the animal on his side on
the sidewalk just under the big panes
of heavy plate glass forming the show
windows. He was crowded up so close
that he could not struggle. mounted
policeman assisted by by-standers took
him head and tail and pulled him out
so that he could get up.
This corner is a usually crowded one
and the wonder is that no one was
hurt Another wonder is that the plate
glass window of the tobacco store was
not smashed. The mark of the horses
shoes are on the stone sidewalk and on
the window sash within an inch of the
glass.

With less than three months of the
biennial period, for which appropria-
tions were made, remaining, and lots
of public work still to be done, there
is a splendid opportunity for the Gov
eminent to serve the country we'll by
selecting the highest capacity for the
head of the Interior department. There
is also splendid opportunity for some
man with that capacity to serve the
country well by accepting the Office
with its uncertainties and giving the
public the benefit of his capacity.

A statistical paper lately published
gives the number of chickens marketed
in the United States last year as 1850,
100000 and of eggs, OOO,OOO,OOO. The
total value of the chicken crop is given
as $4,000 900. The value of the tobacco
crop was $43OOO,O OO of the potato crop
$50 OOO,OO of the barley crop $30,00O,0OO;
and of the oat crop 5000, OOOO 900. The out
put of pig iron amounts annually TO
about $13OOOO,OOO, and of coal to $780,
100000. This would seem to prove the
adage that eggs are eggs" and the
importance of the hen. With the mon
goose eXterminated, poultry might rival
sugar in these islands.

Much interest is being aroused in the
subject of the law of the road. Wheel
men especially are becoming interested
in it as, while having equal rights on the
road with other vehicles, bicycles are
not built to enforce those rights by
their weight. AS a correspondent points
out it is especially necessary that the
law of the road should be observed here
where streets are narrow, street inter-
sections at acute angles and the view
often INSTRUCTED by foliage. But while
bicycle riders should be the most inter-
ested in the observance of the law OF
the road, not all of them do observe it,
Some of them are as great sinners in
this respect as teamsters and others,
but without the selfish warrant for it
teamsters have in the probability that
in case of accident it will be the other
fellows vehicle that is damaged. Mar
shall Brown and the hack inspector are
in thorough sympathy with the move
ment to enforce the law of the road,
and have promised cooperation in all
efforts in that direction.

Something over $4,000 troops have
passed through Honolulu. They all
stopped here from two days to a week.
That there has been some friction and
some clashes between the civil and
military authorities is not surprising
That there have not been more it can
be fairly stated, has been due to the
good temper and forbearance of the
police, rather than to those qualities
in the military officers. But the civil
authorities have some rights which
they cannot legally surrender, because
duties are attached to them. There
can be no justification of the action of
the military officers on the city of
Para refusing to allow a police officer
to come aboard to serve process. The
merits of the controversy which led
to the issuance of the process has
nothing to do with the case. Other

one given by the hackman interested,
fully justify the officers concerned,

to the average man. But because they

laws relative to these offices be amended
so as to place the offices ON salaried basis.
The report of the State Railroad and
Warehouse commission will be laid be-
fore you. No new legislation is needed on
that subject, except that the record made
before the commission on hearing should
be made to constitute the record on ap.
peal. The present practice of trying the
case de novo in the district court is use
less and expensive, and by its delays
tends to defeat the ends of the law.
The telephone service and the telephone
companies in the state should be placed
under the jurisdiction of the commission,
and it should be given tire same power to
compel connections, control joint rates,
anu rates, that it now possesses in regard
to other common carriers
The criticism which the commission has

Cruel Captain:

1t would not occur to many people
that voyage in one of the swan boats
which sail the little pond in the public
garden Of New England city could be
attended with horrors, but that idea
was firmly fixed in the mind of a small
maiden of 2 years.
"Wouid you like ride in one of the
swan boats, Marjorie?" asked the little
maids amt as they crossed the bridge
over the pond one day.
"No, indeed" said Marjorie, with
sudden shrinking. 81 couldn't bear to
see them throw the babies in.
'Tbe man says that's what he does,
she asserted with rising excitement as
her aunt looked much perplexed. "Hear
himl He's saying it now"
Her aunt listened, and of truth the
mans statement, viewed from Mar
jorie's standpoint. was far from reas-
surfing.
"Take ride in the swan boats, !" he
called loudly from the landing. "Grown
folks. 10 cents; children, 8, +" and then,
with a deceptive smile. he added, "Bar
bies thrown ia. "--Youth's Companion.

THE iALBATRoss.
A Bird of Majestic Aerial Velocity
and Unsuitable Appetite.


Out of the blue void the albatross
comes unhasting on motionless pinions,
yet at such speed that one moment a
speck hardly discernible, turn but your
eyes away, and ere you can again look
round he is gliding majestically over
head. Nothing in nature conveys to the
mind SO wonderful an idea of efortless
velocity as does his calm appearance
from vacancy. Like most of the true
pelagic birds, he is devourer of offal,
the successful pursuit of fish being i'm
posi- BILE to his majestic evolutions. His
appetite is enormous, but his powers of
abstinence are equally great, and often
for days be goes without other nourish
ment than drink of the bitter sea. At
the Gargantuan banquet provided by a
carcass of dead whale be will gorge
himself until incapable of rising from
the sea, yet still his angry scream may
be heard as if protesting against his in
ability to find room for more provision
against hungry days soon to follow.
Despite his incompatible grace {
fight when gliding through midaii
with his mighty wings outspread, when
ashore or on deck he issclumsy and i'll
at ease. Even seated upon the sea. his
proportions appear somewhat ungainly,
while his huge hooked beak seems too
heavy to be upheld. On land he can
hardly balance himself. and the broad
silky webs of his feet soon become LAGER
ated. Thus his visits to the lone and
generally inaccessible rocls, which are
his breeding places are as brief as may
be, since even conjugal delights are
dearly purchased with hunger and pain
full restraint. A true child of the air,
land is hateful to him, and only on the
wing does he appear to be really at
home and easeful. -London Spectator
