STORY OF ITS ORIGIN.
Where "Horn," Meaning Drink Of
Whisky, Comes From.

The customer wore the slouch hat
and dropping mustache affected by
westerners and southwesterners, says
the New York Times; the bartender
presented the impassive Teutonic
front that had evidently come from
determination to quit being sur
prised. -.
"Gimme me horn" quoth the Gus
toner.
"a vat?"
"A horn; don't you know what a
<horn' is?'' .s
mo; it is a mixed drink; yes?'''
"No; it's just plain whisky, that's
all, and I don't want to wait all day.
Never mind the water.' a.
<FCurious," commented the west

a horn is, and how it got its name. :

LAKE SUPERIOR ORE DOCKS
Constructed at Immense Expense and
Replete with Labor Saving Devices.

Constructed at Immense Expense and
Replete with Labor Saving Devices.
When the only method of trans.
porting ore from the mines to the.
docks was by means of wagons, four.
or five miles was about as far as it was.
practical to bring the ore. Now, says
|, the En- gineering Magazine, tits trans
ported over hundred miles from the
Minnesota mines to the lake ports.
When these great ore trains arrive at.
the port they are'rdn out on the dock.
and the ore dropped out through the
bottom of the carinto the pockets Of
the re&docks, whence it is afterward
|letsthrough chutes into the, vessels.
These docks have been constructed at
an immense expense, and with these.
as well as with other labor-saving de-
vices, every improvementpossible has
been made to save running expenses.
1t is said that these docks have an ag-
gregate length Of over five miles and
storage capacity Of 100000 tons,
one single dock being 1890 feet long,
with a capacity Of $4,000 tons. 5;-s &. I.
With the present dock equipmenta q
vessel of 5000 to 5000 tons can be
loaded in three or fourhours. tits no
uncommon occurrence to load a boat
of 1900 tons of ore in II hours. The
dock at Duluth cost $425,0O0 Fifty
years ago the ore was dumped from
the wagon upon piles along the wharf.
When a vessel came in to load an army
of men wereput to work shoveling the
ore into wheelbarrows, wheeling
it along planks run out onto the yes
sci, and dumping it into the hold It
then required 20 men working ten
hours per day ten days to Toad a yes
sci of 1000 tons, at cost of 40 cents
per ton. Nova vessel five times as
large can be loaded in two or three
| hours, at so small a cost that it is hard
ly worth considering.

Drainage.

4 George A. Ralph, civil engineer in
charge of the work to be done by the
state drainage commission, has about
completed his surveys of the four prin-
clpal canals to be built from the state
appropriation. The work, it is said,
will be done in Norman, Polk, Roseau
and Marshall counties. One of the
chief improvements will be the open
ing of the channel Of Lost river, in
eastern Polk county, which involves
the building of a drainage ditch
through swampinto o Beltrami county,
hVe miles long, and unite the two beds
OF the stream, whereby several thou
sand acres of land will be redeemed for
production. In Roseau county ditch
nine miles long will be opened from a
point northeast of Badger to the
Roseau river, while the condition in
Marshall county will be bettered by
digging a canal five miles long in range
Al to Middle river. A large tract in
Norman county, in the townships Of
Good Hope and Shelley, will be drained,
with Marsh river as the outlet. The
amount of canal work to be done will
aggregate twenty-six miles.

ARTIFICIAL LEATHER.
frenchman 1nvents Method for Utilizing
Refuse Skins and Hides.


Consul General Hughes writes
from Coburg, that, according to the
German press, fbroleum, a new arti-
fcial leather, has just been invented
by Frenchman. Itconsists of pieces
of refuse skins and hides, cut exceed
ingly small, which are put into vat
filled with an intensely alkaline solu-
tion. After the mass has become
pulpy, it is taken out Of the vat, placed
in a specially-constructed machine,
and after undergoing treatment there
in, is again taken out and put through
a paper-making machine. The re-
sulting paper-like substance is cut
into large sheets, which are laid one
upon another, in lots of from 100 to
1000, and put into hydraulic press
to remove all moisture. The article
is strong and pliable, and can be
pressed or nodded into all kinds Of
shapes and patterns. It is said to
make the best kind of wall paper.
Decorators. who have used this ar
ticle speak of it in the highest terms.

RATHBURN AFTER Garter
SECURES WARRANT FOR ARRES-
OF ASSAILANT.
Claims Was ON Horseback on Public
Road When DR.. Carter Shot Him
Recently

Despite the previous efforts of the
various parties concerned. the Carter
Rathburn scandal may yet be aired I'm
the district court. This morning w. H.
Rathburn secured a warrant for the
arrest of Dr. Carter on the charge of
assault with a weapon. The warrant
Will be served this afternoon. The pro-
posed arrest of DIR. Carter is the result
of the shooting of Rathburn by DR..
Carter some nights ago.
In seeking the warrant for the ar
rest of Carter Rathburn stated that the
attack upon him had been unprovoked.
Indeed. he claimed that instead of his
being on the premises of DR.. Carter
he was on horseback out on the public
road when the shot was fired at him.
Inasmuch as there has been no dis
trict magistrate appointed to succeed
Rathburn the case will be heard BY
Judge Wilcox This is the second time
that the scandal at Makao has caused
an arrest. The first time DR. Carter
caused the arrest of Rathburn on o
charge of adultery with Mrs Carter
Subsequently this charge was dismiss
| ed. as a reconciliation was effected be-
tween the husband and wife Now
from being the complainant DR.. Carter
finds himself defendant.
DIR. Carter claimed that one night
Ntth DelOTt ldSI he naO discovered
Rathburn on his premises at night and
had shot at him twice. one shot taking
erect in the arm. Carter announced
himself as perfectly willing to surren-
der to the authorities if desired. Rath-
burn did not begin any proceedings
against his assailant then however and
1t was supposed that the affair had
dropped.
According to DR.. Carter Rathburn
was the predatory trespasser and him
self the defender of his own citadel and
honor. According to Rathburn he was
the peaceable citizen going along a
public road at night and shot, as it
were from ambush.
Instead of taking the law in his own
hands. Rathburn has adopted the less
heroic policy of appealing to the court
to settle his difficulties and give him
satisfaction. The case will come up
this week for hearing.

ON EVERY HAND.
THL HARBOR AND WATER FRONT
SABBATH.
White Men and Women from Honolulu
Join Games-Craps on Wharves and
in Cabins and Forecastles.

sunday crap games have become a
water front craze of alarming proper
tons. On almost every vessel there are
games in, forecastle and cabin and
along the wharves at almost every
point spoilers may be seen watch
ing to give players warning if police
approach. Yesterday white men, and
the sport and hacks were brought into
requisition to hurry players to and fro.
Police captain Flint put in the entire
day breaking up the visible games,
those which take place on the wharVes
while some of the players took turns
watching him and following him as ne
went about. From the new navy whar-
YES to the railroad wharves, it was
craps on every side. The rattle of
bones could be heard on forward decks
and in aft cabins of the ships at
wharves, while behind convenient shell
tiers men and boys made passes" I'M
til their lookouts told them Flint was
coming, when, in most cases they man
aged to grab stakes" and get away be-
fore he could reach the scene, or see
enough TO make evidence.
The players on board the ships are
largely Honolulu people. Masters and
crews alike seem to get the craps fever
when they strike Honolulu, and there is
little chance to stop the games that are
conducted on board vessels. These are
not considered as bad as the games that
go on in plain sight, on public wharves,
attracting ragged wharf rats.
Yesterday "a number of games were
broken up and lot of dice We're seized
but only in two cases was evidence war
ranting arrests secured. Since Judge
Wilcox announced his intention to put
a stop to the business by heavy senten-
ces, the players are very wary and
carefully maintain good system of
spotting police.
II doubt whether there is ship
among the 40 odd in the harbor that
didn't have crap game on board yes
terday," said Flint this morning, after
breaking up an early Monday morning
game on the Pacific Mail wharf. The
players skunk about the wharf until
Flint left and by the time he was turn
ing up Fort street, the game was in
session again. 1t was like hide and
go seek" Flint went Ewa-wards, to
look for other games and the Pacific
Mail crowd settled down to enjoy a
quiet game.
If the police of Honolulu had known
what trouble would be made for them
by the first lot of "cullod" soldiers that
passed through here on a transport,
they would have taken the bull by the
horns then. The game was not intro
duced to Honolulu until the negro regi-
ment landed on the wharf and began
the trouble.
