An Odd Marriage Certificate.

From the London Telegraph.
Theorists are to be found all over the
world who advocate that no man or wo-

ever, would go so far as a Prussian official

that on one occasion he used the wrong

mistake was not discovered until some DAYS
had elapsed, with the result that the high
court of Berlin has had to be set In motion

Railway Economies on Pins.
I'M the Chicago Chronicle.

from the Ch1cdgO !
Employees at the general offices of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern are
making comments upon an order which
they said had been quietly issued asking
that strict economy be observed in the
use of pins for correspondence and of
rubber bands for letters and papers 1t
seems the two systems have been COM
pairing expense lists. with the result that
the pin money appropriation of the
Northern Pacific has been viewed as too
much, likewise the cost of rubber bands
The employees have been advised that the
strictest economy must be observed In all
departments. especially for those matters
generally looked upon as costing little,
hence the order regarding pins and rub
Der bands.

of the accomplished Mrs. Fremont made a
great impression. A good linguist and &C

She is woman physically of large build,
wherein she takes after her distinguished
father, Senator Benton, who was over six

strong, handsome, aristocratic features and
an expressive countenance, with regal poise

sits and bows a smile of welcome TO her
visitor she gives the effect of a gracious

accompaned-if the visitor takes her fancy

little deaf and does not participate much

ILLS
THE MEASLES AND CONTAGIOUS
SORES.
Four Hundred and Sixty-Seven Surgi-
cal Dressings During Month-Nearly
Half of Them Attributed to Kakaako.

The regularly monthly meeting of the
Board of Supervisors of the Free Kin
dergarten Association was held at the
rooms of the Young Women's Christian
Association. Mrs. c. NJ. Hyde presided.
Those present were: Mrs Hyde, Mrs
w. F. Allen, Mrs. Castle Coleman, Mrs.
Mckiever, Mrs. Andrew Fuller Mrs
George Andrews, Mrs. Q. II. Gulick
Mrs. Peterson Mrs. b. Dyke, Mrs. A.
b. Wood, Miss Guild Miss Lawrence,
and Miss Parke.
The Chinese kindergarten which has
been conducted at the Chinese church
on Fort street has been for some time
perpleXity to the Board, on account
of the small attendance. 1t was a ques-
ton whether the kindergarten should
be continued or not. But the school it
self has solved the problem. The at
tendance during the past month has
averaged more than forty pupils, PROV
ing Conclusively to the Board the ne
cessity for the school. 1t will therefore
be continued.
The Kindergartens, as a rule. are
much crowded. In some cases children
have been turned away because there
was no room for them, and this too in
spite of the fact that measles have
been very prevalent, so that attendance
was reduced and irregular from this
cause. The measles have been of a very
mild nature, usually keeping the chill
dren away from school only for a few
days
\ great improvement in hygienic con-
ditions was reported. The children
now come to the Kindergartens cleanly
in clothing and person. Mrs. Thompson,
the hygienic inspector, reported that in
the course of her work she had found
it necessary to make 467 surgical
dressings among the children during
the month. These dressings were for
cuts bruises, contagious sores and that
sort of thing. A surprising thing about
these surgival dressings is that of the
entire 467, 206 were among the children
of KawaiahaO Kindergarten This is
accounted for by the hygieniC inspector
and the Board by the insanitary Condi-
ton of Kakaako from whence many of
the children of this Kindergarten come.
cuts and bruises seem to develop into
contagious sores there requiring surgi-
cal dressing.
A very pleasant report was received
from the kindergarten at Eva in re-
gard to it's May Day exercises. The
children, some 200 in number, were

forenoon session notes the sale Of
twenty shares of Rapid Transit stock
between boards at 500 share.
The question has been raised whether
under the charter and franchise of the
company the capitalization was not too
great. Both franchise and charter are
shown to state plainly that the COM
pany is allowed to issue stock to the
value of l25 per cent of the actual cost
This is stated to have already amount
ed to an expenditure of 5000, 900 for
buildings lands, rolling stock, rails,
machinery and other purposes, showing
the increase to one million to leave the
company a comfortable margin to
which they could increase the stock
issue and still be within the legal limit.
The section of the franchise referred
to is as follows:
Section 81. 1t shall not be lawful to
increase the capital stock of said cor
poration, at any time in excess of said
two hundred thousand dollars, unless
the proposed increase shall When taken
with the said original capital stock re-
present only the actual cost of the prop
erty of the railway, and not over twen-
ty-five per cent of such cost in addition
thereto; such cost may include all eX-
pense, of laying tracks and equipping
s,,se road for public use, and may als5
include all subsequent extensions, but
no such increase shall be authorized for
extensions until they shall be determiu-
ed upon and authorized by a vote of the
corpora ton.

A KAMAAINA GONE
JOHN A. HASSINGER DIED THIS
MORNING.
Had Lived Here Nearly Fifty Years
Was Prominent Mason-Had Held
Important Public Office.

John Adair Hassinger, for many years
a resident of Honolulu, died this morn
ing about 10 o'clock of heart disease.
He had been suffering from an acute
stage of the disease for about ten days
and his death during all this time was
a matter of imminent expectancy. In
deed it was only by the use of some of
the latest developments of medicine
that death was warded off as long as it
was. He was attended during his ill
ness by DR.. Galbraith
Mr.. Hassinger died at his residence
on the Waikiki road. A widow and
two daughters survive him. A son.
John Hassinger Jr., died about two
years ago. Mrs. Hassinger was a
daughter of the late w. j. Smith, and
a sister of Mrs. Turton of Maui, Mrs.
George J.. Ross, of the late w. James
Smith, for many years secretary of the
Board of Education, and of DR., Albert
Smith. Mr.. Hassinger's daughters are
Mrs. Charles ]. Falk and Mrs John
j. Sullivan.
John A. Hassinger made his first trip
here as the purser of a sailing packet,
locating here in the late fifties. He
became port surveyor and in 1864, when
w. f. Allen was appointed Collector of
Customs. he chose Mr.. Hassinger as
his chief deputy. After several years
in that department he went into the
interior department office where he
was chief clerk at the time of j, II.
Boyds appointment. He was the prac-
teal head of that department for many
years. After w. F. Allen, John Has
singer was the oldest Mason in the ISL
ands, making the historical speech on
Hawaiian masonry at the recent jubi-
less of that association. He was one of
the late original members of Hawaiian
Lodge and a Past Master of No 21, f.
A. NJ, being also the secre-
tary of that lodge. He was born on
December 7, 1887, in Philadelphia, and
would consequently have been sixty
five years of age next December. lie
was of vigorous habit, despite his
three score and five years, and seldom
missed being at his post during the
forty odd years that he has been a ka-
maaina of Hawaii.
The funeral will take place on sun
day afternoon at three o'clock from

THE DECISIONS
ALL REVERSED
SUPREME COURTS UNANIMOUS
OPINIONS IN HONOLULU
CASES.
LITTLE, EDINGS AND DICKEY
ARE REVERSED.
New England Bakery Property and
the Metcalf Will-Three Re-hearings
Are Ordered

Having got the Smith case out of the
way, the Supreme justices lost no time
in tackling less troublesome matters
and as a result three decisions were
handed down this afternoon. All three
are reversals of the judgments or rul-
ings of the lower courts. Two were
appealed from the First circuit, from
Edings and Little, during their special
terms in Honolulu and one from Dis
trict Magistrate Lyle A. Dickey.
Little was reversed In the case of the
Honolulu Investment Company against

trustee, Frank Godfrey, trustee and
others.
The suit involved the ownership of the
New New England bakery property.
under the will of the late TheOphilus
Metcalf, who left it to his childreu
lawfully begotten" The lower court
sustained the claim of an illegitimate
daughter to an interest. Hawaiian law
makes a child legtemate If the parents
marry after the birth, and this was
proved to be the case. The Supreme
court, however, holds that this does not
do away with the provision in the will
which is as to lawfully begOtten chill
dren. A new trial is ordered. The OPT
nion is by Perry.
In the case of Sing Chong Company
against Lin Hop Wal Company, the
court Temands the case for another
hearing on account of Judge Edings'
ruling out a copy of a deed offered in
evidence. The suit was an ejectment
suit involving 2.6 acres of land in Eva.
The Supreme court holds that the copy
of a deed was competent evidence TO
impeach the validity of an original deed
Edings refused to receive the deed in
evidence. The decision of the Supreme
court is written by Galbraith, who
points out that a Hawaiian statute
makes such evidence competent. The
verdict was for plaintiffs in the lower
court, while the Supreme court opinion
inclines strongly to the case for de-
PENDANTS. A new trial is ordered in this
case also.
A third decision handed down is in
the case of Jesse Makainai VS.. Goo
Wan Hoy, appealed direct from the
District Court The suit was on two
notes of $3.50 each. executed in payment
for land. Payment of the note was re-
fused because the land title proved de-
fective. The District Magistrate dis
missed the case holding that he had
no jurisdiction, as the issue involves a
| land title, and District Magistrates are
not given jurisdiction in land title cases.
! The opinion of the Supreme court writ
| ten by Chief Justice Frear is to the
| effect that this is an error, and the case
| is remanded for hearing.
The justices are unanimous in all
| three decisions.
