A prominent professional man in
speaking Of the proposed extension Of
the Rapid Transit Company's lines
said that many people who now keep
a horse and carriage would give them
up as soon as the cars reached the
districts in which they live. Il have
been keeping a horse and carriage for
years. said the gentleman. although
I can scarcely afford TO DO so. But

Il is no wonder that Judge Estee
smiled when he said in the United
States Court yesterday that he had
found out a good deal about Hawaiian
practice since the Pearl Harbor con-
demnation cases had come before him.
Among other things the Judge has
lyuruy-a tlrut Ia Hawaii a 0oEnPiaint or
petition must be sworn to, but the
answer 70 the complaint or petition
need not be sworn to. And here in
Hawaii where decisions seem to have
been rendered rather upon the ques-
ton Of whether or not they were good
policy instead OF whether or not they
were good law, this clearly illegal
state OF things has gone on for many
years While Judge Estee did not de
clare the statute unconstitutional in
so many words, he made it very clear
that such procedure was not accord
ing to law as laid down by the United
States Courts.

The Republican was the first to sug-
gest that instead Of adopting Mr.. ]. A
McCandless' plan for Hawaii to con-
tribute towards a great national monu-
ment in honor Of Mckinley. that this
Territory should erect statue or
monument within its own borders in
honor OF the great President. Now
the Star suggests that Mr.. McCand-
less. with others, sign q call for
meeting which shall put into action
the plans for a Mckinley monument
The Republican most heartily en-
dOrses the Stars suggestion and trusts
that Mr.. McCandless viii move In the
matter at once. And there Is no citi-
zen Of this Territory better fitted to
take the initiative in this work than
Mr.. McCandless. The Republican fully
believes from the interviews It has
already secured on the subject of a
statue to Mckinley that there win be

times eked out his reputation from be-

Perhaps as interesting an incident an
any told of the poem is related BY
Homer F. Bassett. the veteran libra
rian Of the Silas Bronson library, now
retired, and now published for the flrg6l

About fifteen years ago while ME-
Bassett was in charge of the librarys

opposite the green at the corner on.

now occupied by the .city government
for some of It's departments, Mr. Bas-
sett started a conversation with
stranger who entered the reading r0pnI
and became deeply engaged in looking
at some Of the books. The stranger
asked for set Of Dean Swift's works
and when they were placed before him
searched through them very carefu :.
and then turned to Mr.. Bassett with:

the reply

fairly stood from his head at this un-s

Constitution started absolutely last Of
all the competitors. She overhauled
the hindmost very rapidly, and, several
minutes before the outward mark was
reached, she held a proud position in
the van, beating the Columbia four
minutes and seven seconds. Luffing
beautifully round the mark, she buckled
down to pretty thresh to windward,
and in this short leg she gained fifty
six seconds on her rival. in the last
leg she gained six seconds and romped
past the stakeboat the winner of the
commodore's cup.
The extension Of the bowsprit of the
Constitution will necessitate a remeas-
urement of the yacht for time allow
ance Roughly estimated, the Consti-
tuition should allow the Columbia fifty
one seconds over a twenty one-mile
course. So on corrected time the Con-
stitution is a winner by three minutes
and twenty seven seconds-not very
large margin, to be sure, but quite
victory when the sterling ability of her
rival Is taken into considerations 1t
should be also borne in mind that in the
run before the wind the Columbia was
favored with a freshening breeze,
which she bore along with her and
which helped her to materially lessen
the gap, once nearly mile wide, which
separated her from her antagonist.
Had it not been for this the victory of
the Constitution would have been far
more decisive and convincing.

VERY FELIS-ITOUS."
Story of John Hendricks Famous Bit
of Macaronic Verse.


The interesting experiences of that
famous bit of macaronic poetry Very
Felous-itous," Of which the late John
Kendrick of Waterbury was the au-
thor, is recalled by answers recently
published in the New York Sun to in
quiries as to the authorship of the
poem. The two answers given in the
Sun, by the way, are neither of them
correct. The first answer hits some
where near the mark, however, mas
much as Greene Kendrick, a son Of the
author now practicing lawyer here, is
credited with writing the verse, and
either Bridgeport or New Haven is
quite unaccountably given as the home
of the author The other answer hits
very wide of the mark ascribing the
vagrant hybrid to Guy HI. McMaster
author of Carmen Bellicosum," gene
rally known as 1.-THE Old Continentals.
There is nothing surprising In either
of these answers. For more than half
a century now, since first the poem ap-
peared in the Yale Literary magazine
in March, 1S48, it has been widely cop
led far and near, and like so many an
other piece of vagrant literature, has
been variously ascribed to one author
and another whose regulations for do
ing such kind of work were wider ex-
