TRAM COMPANY ANSWERS
IT'S SIDE OF THE DOUBLE TRACK
MATTER.
Alleges That Suit of Government to
Stop Work on King Street is Really
one of Rapid Transit.

As anticipated the answer of defen-
dant company in the suit of the Govern
ment against the Hawaiian Tramways
Company to stop work of double track
laying on King street. was filed yes
terday afternoon. There was nothing
out of the ordinary in the answer, save,
perhaps, that the suit was being MAIN
tanned by the Government in the in
terest of the Rapid Transit Company,
a rival concern. Defendants attorney
1eels sure that Alexander Young owned
$4,000 of Rapid Transit stock when he
got after the Hawaiian Tramways Com
pany.
Defendant holds on to the claim in
regard to double tracks, setting up
most emphatically that it has right and
superior right, to lay double tracks on
any streets of Honolulu covered by it's
franchise. At the same time it is con-
tended not to be the intention to lay
a double track on King street at the
present time, but merely to complete a
switch from a point between the Gov
eminent buildings to a terminus near
the California fruit store which, it is
claimed, will be a great benefit to the
community at large.
Numerous minor points are made.
Besides bringing out its defense the
defendant company dwells strongly on
the contention that the whole proceed
ing is engineered directly or indirectly
by the Rapid Transit Company; if the
latter, the Government is the cats-paw
of the rival company mentioned.
The answer of the Tramways people
is put i'm as a demurrer. There will
likely be a replication to the answer,
and then the demurrer will be argued
before the court.

A QUEER FAMILY.

The late Lord Arlie had one brother
and four sisters. Several of these in
heritcd from the mother very decided
dstaste for society, and struck out in
dependent lives for themselves. The
Hon. Lyulph Ogilvy is a free, happy and
Woodworking farmer in the wild west
of America. The two eldest sisters,
now Lady Blanche HOzier and Lady
Clementina Milford, made conventional
marriages and settled down in comfort

where surplus wealth is rapidly ac- cumulating. You will have an oppor- tunity such as has never been afforded at any previous exposition. for you will not only make a display before great masses of people. but before the par ticuIar class most d9sirable to reach.
 The number of commissioners already appointed by the governors of the sev- eral states vary. ranging from one to fifteen. but the more common is five. It is presumed that the governors. in making these appointments. have refer ence to the more important interests of the state in order that there may be a proper representation of the most important combined industries to be represented.
 Awaiting your intended action in making the designations and appoint ments. and asking that I may be ad- vised at as early a date as possible of their names and addresses. and placing myself at your disposal for such fur ther information as you may desire, remain, very truly yours.

hOuses burned were a small one near the ditch occupied by Miss Dorothy Dawes, the loss being practically total. and a larger structure just north of it consisting of barn. carriage and har- ness room. etc. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mrs. Hattie Mosher was slightly burned while rescuing her surrey and horse from the burning barn.
 A SHORT STORY.-Dr. Shorts prin- ciples are a good deal like his name. it seems. He came here some two months ago, says the Tucson Citizen with the avOwed purpose of starting a drug store. He never got further than the purpose. and shortly left town very suddenly. The story would have been much shorter had it not been that he owed A. J. Sampson for two months rent of a house. Thus Dr. Short left Mir. Sampson short on short notice, which is all around a mean thing to do. And there are undoubtedly others in town who are short and who hope the doctor will be brought up short at his next landing place.

TRAVEL TO THE COAST
Two More Excursions for California
 Yesterday.

Phoenix people, at least a great many of them, have gotten their hearts Set on going to the coast and they are going as fast as they get their affairs in shape.
 Some withheld their visit till after the Fourth. perhaps for the reason that they wanted to stay where there was plenty of room 70 shoot firecrackers and celebrate as only Arizonians can on such an occasion. Others may be de- layed a little by the cooler weather. but the weekly excursions will be well patrOnized all summer. unless the rains so long delayed come at last and wash the railroads away.

A PAN-AMERICAN SHOW
At Which an Opportunity for Ari-
 zonians Is Offered.

A communication was received at the office of the governor some time ago re garding representation from this terri tory to the Pan-American exposition which will begin at Buffalo. N. Y. on May 1. 1901. and continue to November 1>of the same year.
 In reply to these communications from which incomplete information re- garding the desire of the management and the scope of the exposition was gathered, the fonowing was received from Director General Buchanan yes terday. The paragraph, relating to those sections desiring immigration and requiring capital will. no doubt, be of interest to boards of trade and other commercial bodies in this terri tory:
 Buffalo, N. Y, June 29. 1900.
 The Honorable N. O. Murphy, Gov ernor. Phoenix, Ariz. Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 23rd. requesting information as to the action desired by the exposition authorities in respect of the representation of your territory al the Pan-American exposition.
 Replying thereto. beg to advise your eXcellency that requests have been made to the governors of the states and territories of the union for the designation of two gentlemen for vice presidents and two ladies as honorary members of the Women's board of man. agers for the confirmation by the board of directors of the exposition. and for the appointment by the governors of a suitable number of commissioners to represent the state. This has been complied with by nearly all of the gov ernors of the states and territories.
 It is presumed that in making the designations and appointments in those states whose legislatures have not had an opportunity of acting. that persons of known public spirit have been se- lected and it is hoped that through their aid proper plans will be matured for the creation and specialization of sentiment sufficiently strong to bring about promptly at the next meeting of the legislature the necessary action looking towards a suitable representa- tion. It is to be regretted that your legislature has not had d session since the Pan-American exposition was au- thoritatiVely sanctioned by congress. as the time between the beginning of your legislative session and the opening of the exposition doors May 1 next, will make it necessary to expedite proceed ings. but great deal of the prelimin- ary work can be done by your commits siOners in advance of the session by making known to your people the mag nitude and scope of the exposition and the material benefits which will inure to your section if a proper display be made of the natural advantages which you possess.
 I desire to impress one point which it seems to me is worthy of careful con- sideration by those sections desiring immigration and requiring capital for development. and that is that what ever. is exhibited here will be placed on view before people who live within the congested centers of the north and east. from whence goes out the most desirable element of emigration and

Recently his sister tiptoed into his
room some time after midnight and
told him she thought burglars were in
the house. The lawyer put on his dress

In the back hall he found rough
looking man trying to open door that

The Latest Man.

The LATEST man in North America
discovered himself the other evening
in the swell bachelor apartments not
far from Lafayette square where he
lives. He was lying on couch in his
lOunging room. smoking Il cigar, when
the cigar went out-that is to say,
the fire at the end of the cigar depart
ed. The man raised himself on one
arm with great effort, and snapped the
messenger bell that was installed over
the couch. Then he reclined and wait
ed. After about ten minutes there was
a knock at the door, and a messenger
boy entered.
"D'jOu ring. sir?" asked the boy.
Yes, son. said the LATEST man in
the western hemisphere. Just gimme
a match off that table there will you:"
The boy handed the man on the
couch a match and waited. The man
relighted his cigar and smoked on.
''D'jOu want me to go somewhere,
sirT" asked the boy, fidgeting.

Then the boy went out, grinning.

SHORTHAND WRITING.
Accuracy Is of Much More Impor-
tAnce Than Speed.

"Speed is by no means the most
necessary thing in SHORTHAND writing"
explained an experienced stenOgra-
pher, but with some teachers it is
msGh the great consideration, often
at the expense of everything else. The
big thing in shorthand is legibility,
for there are many who can write
fast enough. but who are unable to
tell what il means after 1t has grown
cold l have been a stenographer, de-
pending entirely on it for my living,
for % years During that time 1 have,
Of course, picked up some knowledge
on the subject. I have been the
stenographer for two cabinet officers,
four assistant secretaries and three
or four senators. incidentally l have
worked for a year as the private sec
rotary of one of the big bank presi-
dents in New York city.
IAN of this experience has proven
one thing very conclusively, and that
rs that thera is no necessity for any
stenOgrapher who does amanuensis
work to write over 120 words a min
ute and in % cases out of 100 no ne
cessity to write over 100 words min
ute. Indeed, l know of at least %
stenographers who are drawing the
largest kind Of salaries as private sec
retaries who have assured me that
hey have never been required to aver
age as much as 30 words. Under these
circumstances it seems strange that
some teachers of stenography Will eX-
cite pupils TO write 80 to 200 words
per minute and en9pavor to make them
believe that such n railroad speed is
necessity. Such n practice does
actual injury. for 1t discourages many
from even learning a moderate speed.
There have been instances where
IL may have been necessary for stenog-
raphers to be able TO write over 200
and more words minute, and there Is
a legend hanging about the senate
chamber that General HawIey, for
10 or - minutes in a speech, once
spoke 225 words a minute. The aver
age speed of senators in speeches does
not reach 10 words and in debating
letters rarely reaches 100 words."-

Too NIuch Burns.

Charles Mackay once told this story
in connection with Burns memorial:
Mackay had promised TO collect shil-
lings for some monument 70 the honor
of Burns, and he applied with conf
dence for q subscription to an Eng
lishman who had represented in parlia-
ment for many years a certain Scot
fish borough.
NO" said Mr.. FOrteScue Harrison.
Il am no longer in parliament. and l
have now much pleasure in refusing
to subscribe the shilling which in
former days l should have been
obliged to give. What have suffered
through Burns heaven alone can
tell. First, l had to praise him in the
most fulsome manner, without having
read his works. Then l had to learn
to recite portions of his poems by
heart, and in doing so to give the
verses as much as possible with 4
Scotch accent. j have had to walk
without my hat and with the rain
pouring down upon my unprotected
head as leader Of Il procession In hon
or of Burns, and under these circum-
stances l. refuse with genuine delight
to give a shilling or any smaller sum
to the object you have in view"

SOME SURE THINGS.
Bets to nc Avoided by Those Who
Never Tried the Fcnts.

Never Tried the FcnIs.
Bets TO he avoided by those who are
cocksure they can do all things are
those relating TO athletic feats. 1t
would seem that good runner could
easily give a start of 30 yards in 100
to man who was doing the 30 yards
by hopping on one leg. But few run
ncrs, if any, can afford to give that
amount of start to any man who is
at all strong on his legs. For the first
five yards or so they 90 at practically
the same pace, so that TO run % yards
While his opponent is hopping 40 he
las to 20 more than twice as fast. and
it is Il weak man indeed who cannot
hop 30 yards In ten seconds.
An ordinary wooden match is easily
broken in the fingers. but. although
there are many who viii bet they can
do it, none succeed in accomplishing
the task if the match is laid across the
nail of the middle finger of either hand
and pressed upon by the first and third
fingers Of that hand. despite its seem
ing so easy at first sight.
No one can crush an egg placed
lcngthwise between his claspcd hands
that is, if the egg be sound and has
the ordinary shell of hens egg
1t is safe to bet man that he cannot
get out of a chair without bending
his body forward or putting his feet
under it, if he is sitting on it, not at
the edge of it.
Another equally certain wager is
that a man cannot stand at the side
of room with both of his feet touch
ing the wainscotinG lenGthwise.
1t is safe to bet any man, save one
who is blind. that he cannot stand
for five minutes without moving if

THEY BUILT THE ROAD.

And Gould Knew Where to Get the
Rails to Do II.
Jay Gould, once wanted to build n
short line to certain place and found
rivals in the field. To Sylvester T.
Smith he gave imperative orders, Get
out as big force as possible. and COM
plcte the road before the other fellows
get wind of it. and we'll head 'em off"
Smith reported presently, Mr..
Gould, we can get all the ties, fish
plates, bolts. nuts and spikes we want,
but we can't get the rails" "Tclc-
graph to every mill in the country, and
pay any price" said Gould. Il have
done so. and there is no chance for
delivery under i MONTHS Then"
said the little wizard, go somewhere
and tear up something. We've got
to have rails" He indicated the road
to destroy, a branch or feeder of the
Union Pacific
Smith soon had the old road torn up
and the new one laid down. Then
came war. Stockholders of the Union
Pacific learned of the enterprise and
hailed Smith to court to answer for
tearing up a railroad that belonged to
them. To their questioning he admit
ted all and had no excuse but that Jay
Gould ordered him 10 do it,
"Who is Jay GOuld?" some asked.
What has he got to do with it?"
Up rose n young lawyer from New
York to inform them that Mr.. Gould
owned all the bonds of the Union Pa
ciflc road, though not dollar of its
stock, and that he was absolute pro-
prictor Of the feeder that Mr. Smith
had torn up. There never was n more
surprised and mystifed lot of men.
They had nothing more to say.-San
