Still the Water Rates
Trouble WailukuanS

Waikiki, Aug. Iii. w. Pratt,
bookkeeper of the Honolulu water
works, spent few days in Wailuku
and Kahului this week, showing Mr..
Bal, the new superintendent of water
works, the general routine Of the Office.
Mr.. Pratt likewise took measurements
OF the houses where water pipes have
been laid and connected with the gov
eminent water mains, and this table
he took with him to Honolulu per XII
nau this morning to be laid before the
Superintendent of Public Works, SO as
to form a basis for fixing the new
schedule Of water rates for these two
towns. AS far as can be learned from
Mr.. Pratt there will not be any whole
sale reduction Of rates from the pres
ent published rates as was anticipated
and expected by the users of water
here. The first individual to register
a kick before Mr.. Pratt while here was
T. Pail Sylvia, who told Mr.. Pratt t.
take out the water pipes II the rates
were not reduced. However, Mr.. Pratt
firmly believes that the rates he has
established are very reasonable AMI
within the reach OF all.

APARTMENTS FOR HORSES.
Unique Plan in Stabling Started by
Baltimore Concern.

\ novelty in stable Is projected at
Roland Park. which has been dl5-
tinguished for its modern dwellings
and other up to date features in s;V.-
urban life, says the Baltimore Sun.
The plan is to erect department sta
bles for the convenience OF the resi-
dents of the park
The term apartment stables" Is
used to designate the manner in which
1t Is expected the stables will be con-
Quoted. They are not to be a "cU3
stables" in the sense that the company
which owns the building will have the
care of the horses. The building Is to
be put up on the same principle tina.
an apartment house is built for human
beings, where eac hfamiiy does It's own
private stable Of the occupant, just in
the housekeeping. Each apartment
will be the private stable Of the occu-
pant, Just in the same manner, as It
were placed on his private lot. The
only difference Is that by reason OF
their being together, cooperation be.
tween various horse owners as to the
care of the horses Is made much easier.
Owners, however, preferring that their
own coachmen should take care of
their horses may have them to do so
without any disarrangement Of the
general plan.
The objects to be gained are the
avoidance of the necessity of using the
stables back yard space which can be
made attractive; greater economy OF
the labor of caring for horses, since
one man In this way can take care OF
a large number, and that in case the
need Of the stable disappears the stock
In the club stable can be transferred
for cash more readily than a stable on
private premises.
Subscriptions to sufficient amount
Of stock to build a stable with twelve
apartments have been secured, and the
work of grading Is now being prosecu-
ted by the Roland Park Company, who
will erect the building. The scheme,
when completed, with thirty-four
apartments, will embrace an outlay for
stables, paddocks,, and grounds Of SiO,-
900, That part of the stable to be
built at once will cost about $4,000.
The plan embraces long, attractive
looking building in the cottage style

Thomas c. Ridgway for appellee. Tie
bond accompanying the appeal waa
without the Territorial statutory
stamp of 81 as well as the United
States war stamp Of soc. and motion
to dismiss the appeal was filed by Az
torney Ridgway. Il was contended ry
opposing counsel that under the new
laws the Territorial Stamp Act was NO,
in force, being contrary to the Cons l.
tuition of the United States Judge Lit
tie, in sustaining the motion. said in
substance, that under the stamp ac;
of the Republic of Hawaii, It is pro-
vided that certain instruments. includ-
ing bonds, in order to make them walt |
In any court, shall have a certain spe-
cited stamp, and that the same is re.
quired by the United States War
Stamp Act Of 1898. This Stamp Act
of the Republic was not specifically re-
pealed by the Organic Act. In Section
6 Of the Organic Act 1t is provided that
the laws Of Hawaii, not inconsistent
with the Constitution or laws of The
United States or the provisions of The
act, shall continue in force. There are
no acts of Congress that conflict with
the Stamp Act on our statute books.
He held that bond in an appeal from
one court to another shall he perfect
at the moment of its filing. In this
case it was held that the bond was not
perfect, so the motion to dismiss the
appeal was sustained. This law applies
also to original issue OF shares of stock,
to deeds, leases and other papers of a
legal character, making a double tax

Young Lady Left at Home Alone Dis

Criminal-Cudahy kidnapping.
PUEBLO, Colo. Dec. 24.-Maggie Hoel
has been missing since about o'clock
Saturday afternoon and it is feared that
she has been murdered.
The girl, who was about Is years old,
lived with her sister, Mrs. Charles
Beatty, in lonely spot about 81 miles
west of the city. On Saturday Mrs.
Beatty left Maggie in charge of her lit
tie child at her home. Upon her return
two hours later her sister was gone and
the baby was alone in the house.
Indications about she premises led to
the immediate suspicion that the glrl
had been taken from her home by force.
There were evidences of a struggle and
in the yard were found the foot prjDSsl
of a man evidently of large siENAdcs
weight. The foot prints led to the di-
rection of the Arkansas river and at
some places along JIG tId1A hppodl GU OAO
prints of smaller shoes such as Maggie
Hoel wore. At other places the trail in

Near the river bank where the ground

coNoER SIGNS AGREEMENT
Close of the Most Important Phase of
the Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Secretary Hay
has received a cablegram from Minister
Conger, at Picking, announcing that he
had signed the agreement reported by
the foreign ministers, but had done so
with written explanatory statement
setting forth the exact position of his
government.
1t is believed that the United States
also, while sanctioning the provisions of
the agreement relative to the mainten-
ance of permanent lines of communica-
ton, legation guards and prohibition of
the importation of arms into China, in
dicates clearly that constitutional rea-
sons prevent the executive from making
any pledge to take part in the execution
of these plans.
The signature of the agreement by
the ministers closes what is regarded
here as the first, the most important
and the most difficult phase of the ne.
gotiations as to China, for it is not
doubted that the Chinese ENJOYS will
subscribe to the agreement without
amendment
