CHECK HELD UP

City Auditor Boughman has hsld
up the bill Of Baker and Dallett ar.
chitects, by refusing to sign the check
At tho meeting Of the Water Depart.
ment yesterday afternoon q letter
from City Auditor Boughman was
received, explaining that he had re-
fused to approve the check for $500
drawn in favor Of Baker and Dallett
architects Of Philadelphia, because
he felt tile bill was excessive. In his
letter Mr.. Boughman said s400 Of
the check was the balance due on
the plans for the Rockford water
tower and 800 for designing ths re.
pairs and Improvements to the ola
post Office, so the department could
use 1t as an Office.
In relation to the $400 Mr.. Bough.
man said that Baker and Dallett had
already been paid $500 and that $500
had been paid another man for de-
signing and experimenting the steel
work at the water tower, which
would make total Of 81, 800, which
he considered excessive. He also
said that the 800 charged for
designing the improvements to the
old post office were excessive, as he
believed there were competent archi.
tects In this city, who would have
done tho work for $50.
After the letter was read President
Bet is Of the department said that,
according to the accounts at the first
Of the month, the Rockford water
tower had cost $4,000. The con.
tract with the architects was 3 per
cent, but despite the cost of the
tower the architects we're charging
3 per cent. on only $40, 900.

Street and Sewer Department reach.

ternoon ovar the much disputed bill

WOrkmen'S Close Call,

A number of workmen employed
at Claymont had a narrow escape
from injury yesterday afternoon. Tie
men were engaged at work on the
Pennsylvania railroad improvements.
There had been an arch thrown
across the creek near the grist mill
and the two derricks were being used
to hoist the stone to be used as the
coping
George Dougherty, stone cutter,
saw the guy rope of one of the der.
ricks break and gave a shout of warn.
ing as the big mast began to totter.
All the men ran for their lives and
as the derrick fell it struck the
other one, both fell to the ground.
Fortunately no one was hurt. Both
spars were shattered and work will
be delayed about two days before
new ones are made and put in posi-.
tion,

CHRIST MAS
TREE TO Be.

1t all depends on the people as to
the Christmas tree at the police sta
tion this year for the little children
who will receive but little from Old
Kriss. The Matrons have been given
permission by the commission to have
tree for the children. The police
and matrons will not be tolerated to
solicit funds, toys or candies but they
will receive them. Let those who
will have lots share little. Send
that extra box Of candy or toy for the
little girl who will hot haveany candy
and doll.
Go down in your pocket for that 81
and tell your girl that you did 50 and
she will appreciate that $40 present
the more because she will know you
have the right sort of heart. Let
everyone give something. Let those
who have been wanting to make some
one happy do SO.

GODS GREATEST OFT TO MAN.

And hearts are raised ln gratitude
For all God gifts TO man.
For Christ was born on Christmas

A Savouir born for mau,
The shepherds sat and watched

A light the Heavens did span,
All knew it somsshing good loretold
Twas Gods greatest gilt 10 man.
And near and far aud every star
With one grand chorus sang.
In heralding the Saviour birth,
God S greatest gift TO man.
From vale and hill it echoes still
Der mountain. sea and land,

And suffered death upon the cross

THE Judges in the Superior Court
yesterday decided unanimously
that an alternative writ Of manda-
mus issued returnable next Satur
day, required Street and Sewer
Commissioners Ayrcs S. Webster,
James D. Carter and Patrick Fa-

DEAR readers do you not think it
would pay you to make your holi-
day purchases in our city. All the
wealth 10 the world cannot buy
health, so why rush off to Phla.
delphia and take the chances of
contracting smallpox. We do not
gay this to unduly alarm you, but
to let you know that the Philadel-
phla papers publish every day ac-
counts Of the spread Of the disease.
If you contract it you will be sent

Isolated from home and friends.
SOME people dislike to Gee any,
body get along. They are never
so happy as when lying about their
friends or gossiplng about their
neighbors. They are an abomina.
tion to all with whom they come IN
contact. They seldom speak the
truth and are never missed from a
community. They don't live, they
simply exist.

it has not awakened in years, and
1902 bids fair to be the banner wear
for business. There will be mil
lions spent by the Railroad Company
and several very extensive improve
ments are in course Of preparation
to be made IN the Spring.
II would not surprise us if before
long there was another electric

and proposed extension to Kennel
Square. Nothing is surprising
these days OF combinations and

IT is a pity the Police Commis-
sioners did not rent the old FEEDER
al building now occupied by the
Water Department. 1t would not
have cost any more than the rent
paid tor the rooms IN the Old EckIe

-HE United States army transport
Wyefield arrived in port yesterday
morning from San Francisco to
renew her supply of coal. She
SAILED from the Coast on February 20
for Manila with supplies, but met with
tsueh rough weather that she was kept
back for several days, and after the
high seas and strong and variable
winds had ceased to interfere with
her progress it was found that her
coal supply had been decreased during
the battle with the elements to such
an extent that it was advisable to put
in at Honolulu to take on more fuel.
The WyefieId is a British steamer
under charter to the United States
Government. Captain Cow is her COM
mander. She is taking on coal at the
Navy wharf and will probably resume
her journey to the Philippines this
evening or the first thing tomorrow

first loading some of the matches and
then taking the steamer out in the bay
and turning her around to load the
others. QuartermaSter Ruhlen states
that proposals of all kinds will be en-
tertained, and that the Government
prefers to lease suitable property for
a number of years, and buy later If
found satisfactory.
At Tacoma the quartermaSter's de-
partment has the use of one or the
Northern Pacific wharves, and while
the facilities are far better than can
be obtained in Seattle, the Government
still wants more room. Representatives
of certain Tacoma waterfront interests
believe that strictly Government
wharf and storehouse would De good
thing for the city, in that II would
bring more business there, and serious
consideration is being given to plans
to build on the waterfront and rent
for term of years to the Government.
The Government transports can be
given quicker dispatch in Tacoma, in
addition to which the harbor itself and
the facilities afforded are more salts
factory in every way. The proposals
which will probably be submitted will,
of course, include trackage as well as
wharfage facilities, which will be suf-
ficent to handle all the Government $
business which is now divided between
Tacoma and Seattle.

In the strikingly. attractive pamph-
let issued by the Norddeutscher Lloyd
there are one or two notable points.
The company has carried to it's farth-
est practicable point the principle
that, to be at the head, the shipowner
must have only vessels Of the latest
type, and not drag on existence with a
number of obsolete vessels, as some
companies do. The policy of the Nord-
deutscher Lloyd has constantly been
! to get rid of every steamer that was
not up to date. In 1896 the company
owned As ocean steamers of over 1000
tons each, and their average age was
9h years; in 1900 it owned 105 large
steamers, and their average age was
only 5B years. and even this COMPARE
lively short lifetime will be still FUR
Their reduced by the installation of the
ten large vessels now building. What
contrast this is to the P. & o. Co.
with at least % out of its fleet of So
built in the eighties. In fact, the 'P.
& o. Pocketbook" puts the average
t lifetime of P. & o. steamers at &c
! years.

May Build There for Uncle Sam

There Is every prospect that a Gov
eminent warehouse and dock may be
built in Tacoma. United States Quar-
termaster Ruhlen has issued a call for
bids for furnishing the Government
with additional wharfage and storage
facilities at either Seattle or Tacoma.
Certain influential interests are at
work, and there is a strong probability
according to reliable shipping men,
that a bid will be submitted to build
warehouse and dock at Tacoma and
lease 1t to the Government for a rea-
sonable consideration.

Schooner Borealis Enters.


Captain Munro of the British sealing
schooner Borealis, now at Waimea, ar
rived in Honolulu on the steamer Nil
lhau on Saturday last to make entry
of his vessel He went to the custom
house with the British Consul and after
the opinion Of the District Attorney
had been had and Captain Munro PROV
| ed that he had had no wrong inten-
tions in going to Waimea, he was al
lowed to make entry and also clear
| the Borealis. He entered and cleared
his vessel yesterday.
| The Borealis arrived at Waimea on
Friday last from Vancouver. Captain
Macauley of the customs service, who
was on hand, promptly boarded her
and informed Captain Munro that he
was liable to penalty for entering a
place that was not a port of entry.
The master of the Borealis therefore
lost no time in making his way to Ho-
nolulu. Captain Munro paid the usual
fees but was not fined.
| Captain Macauley remained with the
IBorealis while her master came to Ho-
nolulu in order to hold her for any
penalties which might be levied.
Inspectors to Leave Today.

,eral inspectors of hulls and boilers, eX-
pect to finish all their work here to-

these Islands have been inspected. with
the exception. of a few small schooners
which, 1T is thought. can be handled
today.

lands have done very well in their ex-
