an order upon Mr.. Bradley for the re-
turn of the two pieces of kitchen furni-
ture. 1t is understood that Mr.. Bradley

up many new residence districts.
1t is expected by the management of
the road that before active work can
begin there will be news of the ship
ment from San Francisco of the supplies
which have been delayed there by the
strike. These have been ordered for
some time and include the switches
curves and turnouts which will be used
as we'll on the Liliha street line, as in
the building of the new road. In addi-
tion to these track parts there is now
on the way and lying on the docks OF
San Francisco the feeder cable which
will be strung along the line to furnish
the relays of power to the trolley, which
will reduce the wear upon that copper
line.
Should there be satisfactory bids fol
the construction of the line it is expect
ed there will be no trouble in having
the road in shape for use within a few
months, as there is now on hand all the
main line rails and parts needed.
During the three weeks in which the
electric cars have been running fares
have been collected from more thar
$50 900 people. This means, that the col
lections have been above $500. The
daily receipts now are about $500. Every
evening the cars are crowded with peo-
pie taking the air, and many parties
spend the evenings thus in catching
every fugitive breeze.

RAPID TRANSIT LINE WILL
BE COMPLETED TO KALIHI

Kalihi will have rapid transit very
soon. There will be bids received by
the Rapid Transit and Land Company
UP to Tuesday next at noon, for the
construction of line of track from the
present turning of the line from King
street into Liliha street, to the Fer
tilizer Works on King street beyond
the stream.
This marks a new departure in the
building operations of the company
which has heretofore constructed it's
own line. The plans, profiles and speci-
fications for the line have all been made
and the inquiry already made indicates
that there will be plenty of bidders to
take up the work of putting in the line
of road. The class of construction will
be the same which has made the pres
ent line the best in the country, and the
character of everything which goes into
the road will be of the best.
There has been much interest shown
in the road since 1t began operations in
the city proper and men living in the
suburbs have been asking for stock,
hoping to influence extensions to the
rapidly developing districts which will
be tapped by the new lines of the road.
The line which is now opened for bids
for the construction will be one and

Mr.. McGurn, who was my bafl,ff, for the
manner in which he had executed an
order given him by me. In the course Of
my observations I said that the bailiff
should not have "sneaked OUT to notify
counsel wrom he had failed to notifl at
the proper time. The word "sneak" is
not an elegant expression and under all
the facts and circumstances of the case,
it may have been unjust as applied to
Mr.. McGurn.
Later, Mr.. McGurn asked to be allowed
to make personal statement, during
the course of which he said: 'I want to
say l have done my duty in this case,
and that the Court should not call me a
sneak. I am no sneak" Seeing 1T this
time that McGurn was thoroughly arous-
ed and that his manner was rude and
threatening, and desiring to prevent q
scene, l ordered him to desist, but he
continued speaking and wildly gesticu-
lating, saying: 81 do not like to be CALI
ed sneak. 1 don't care If have to go
to Jail for it. 1 think my standing in this
Court and this town is such they would
not call me sneak" Thereupon I said:
| For that last remark, Mr.. McGurn, the
Court sentences you to pay q line of
SIS for contempt of Court" In passing
sentence upon Mr.. McGurn I stated that
could bear testimony to his general
, reputation for honesty and probity, and
proceeding, observed:
| THE Court saw proper to and did crit.
| icize certain acts of McGurn as bailif
of this Court, certain statements of his
! to this Court having been contrary tt
certain other statements made at anoth
er time and inconsistent with the sworr
statement made by member of the bar
After the Court concluded it's remarks
Mr.. McGurn asked the privilege of max
j Ing a statement in his own behalf. Tha
privilege was accorded him. In making
that statement he did not confine him
self to giving statement of the matte
but proceeded to lecture this Court upo
the judgment it had pronounced, an
after being warned and directed by tn
Court to desist he persisted therein. No
only were his words contemptuous bu
his manner was such, and the judgmen
of the Court will stand, and he will b
committed until the fine is paid. If q
any time the Court deems it it's duty
criticise a bailiff or any other adm.nistra
tive officer of this Court, it will do 81
and If in doing so it is to be lectured b
the officers so criticized. then the Cour
might as well adjourn sine de, and tina
the Court does not propose to do"

WHAT BITING DID.

Asking you to bear the above consider
ations in mind, l beg to submit the fol-
lowing regarding the cases of contempt
referred to in the charges against me.
% C. C. Biting, in sentencing him,
the said c.. G. Biting, to ten days i'm
prisonment for contempt.
On the 18th day of February, 1901. I
had the grand jury then in session
brought before me and charged them to
investigate certain irregularities alleged
to exist in the police court of Honolulu,
and more particularly to investigate the
alleged embezzlement of moneys belong
ing to litigants in that Court by one
Fabian, Clerk of said Court.
After 1 had concluded delivering this
charge, Mr.. Biting arose and said: May
l ask your Honor whether the stenogra-
pher made a record of your Honor's
charge to the Jury?" To which I replied
that L did not know. Thereupon Mr.. Bit
ting stated that he desired to take some
exceptions to the charge sin order to
challenge the array of the jury that
would probably try the case,' remariSing
that the charge was very peculiar and
unusual" 1 called him to the bar and
asked him to explain what he meant by
the expression peculiar and unusual
as applied to the Court, to which he re-
piled that he desired to protect the rights
of his client. I was then and I ana-now
satisfied that he meant a great deal more
than that, ard that the language was in
tended to be insulting to the Court, and
1 ordered him committed to jail for the
period of ten days.
1t will be observed that the grand jury
was charged to investigate the accounts
of one Fabian, clerk of the police court
Fabian had not been arrested, no indict-
ment had been returned against him.
there was no issue before the Circuit
Court, and Mr.. Bitt.ngs interruption OF
the proceedings of the Court at that time
was wholly irregular, his manner was Of
fensive and his language sneering. He
was in a state of gross intoxication. II
made any mistake in this matter at all
it was in not having the record show Mr.
Bittings condition, for 1 was Influenced
by such fact in imposing sentence upon
him to a greater extent than l was by his
language or attitude.
The very same day Fabian, the clerk
referred to, came to me and informed me
that Mr.. Biting did not represent him.
that he did not know that his office and
acts were to be investigated by the grand
jury, and that Mr.. Bittings purpor ted
representation of him was a piece OF
officious interference, which he repudiat-
I ed. AS corroborative of my statement
that Mr.. Biting was grossly intoxicated
at the time this sentence was imposed,
desire to say that Mr.. Biting sued out a
writ of habeas corpus before Judge Es-
tee for his release; that Judge Estee
stated to me that the warden of the
prison Informed him that Mr. Biting
was on the verge of delirium tremens
when he was taken from Jail.

NEW USE FOR ELDCTRIcITY.

A professor recently discovered that
electricity is a stimulant for the brain.
We do not wish to dispute the merits OF
this discovery but are inclined to think
that the only natural stimulant for the
brain is sleep. II you are not able 10
sleep you are certainly in a bad way.
II is usually caused by the stomach be-
ing out OF order. the disturbance being
out OF order. the disturbance being
communicated to the BRAN. Keep the
stomach IN good condition by the use Of
HoStetter's Stomach Bitters. and you
vii have insomnia no longer. II Is q
splendid medicine for strengthening the
nerves and will cure dyspepsia, indi-
gestion. constipation and blliousness. As
a spring tonic Il has no equal. See that
