a water supply.

some changes of detail Messrs. Irwin
and Hatch were appointed a building
committee to supervise the suggested
changes in the plans and to secure es-
Inmates and tenders of cost of building.
| The location of the lodge was not
definitely decided upon, but the site
recommended by Mr.. Young is a little
makai of the present residence of the
keeper and directly facing the entrance
to the park, and about 500 feet distant
therefrom.
| A committee of three, consisting of
lMessrs. Cleghorn, Cunha and Hatch,
was appointed with power to act in the
matter of designating trees to be re-
moved along the line of the Rapid
Transit track through the park, and to
make recommendations from time to
time to the commission for the removal
of other trees there.

in the city, which permission was
granted by the commission.

BISHOP GULSTAN
SUFFERS RELAPSE
Catholic Fathers fastening TO
His Bedside at the hilo
Mission.

Bishop Gulstan F. Ropert, head of the
Catholic Mission, has not long to live,
according to messages received yester-
DAY by Father Valentine from Hilo.
The prelate has suffered a relapse and
has been removed from Oiaa to the
Catholic Mission at Hilo that he might
die in the shadow of the cross of the
church there. Fathers Matthias and
Oliver left Honolulu for Hilo on Tues
days Kinau and will be with the Bishop
today. Fathers Adrian, Otto and III
ricn of the Hilo Mission are with him.
A message received here yesterday
morning stated that the Bishop was
worse and that his malady was a can
Ger growth in the stomach. The Bish-
ops constitution is frail and not suf-
ficiently strong to ward off the recent
attacks and the local clergy fear that
news of his death may be received at
any time.
No additional news was received at
the Mission last night

GUNNYSACk MADE
LOTS OF TROUBLE

Just plain old gunnysack made all
sorts of trouble on Piikoi street during
the rainstorm on Tuesday night So
much water came down the street and
landed into King, covering that thor
oughfare almost down to the old Neu-
mann residence, that belated pedes-
trians thought that the new culvert
system recently installed at the inter-
section of Piikoi and King streets was
a failure and it seemed so. The water
rose over the sidewalks and poured
into the yards on the mauka side, es-
pecially into the premises of the British
Consul. A pedestrian thought it wise
to investigate and see what caused the
stoppage Of water at one of the catch
basins He reached down, found some
thing and yanked it out. It was a gun
nysack. The street full of wafer soon
subsided and traffic was again II lde
possible.

That Judge Fort saw fit to charge

used is significant. lie may elect

HARD COAL FOR

Reading Railroad Company
Divides One Carload
Of Fuel,
MANAGERS ARE THANKFUL
Several Dealers Report That
Local Supply Of Anthra-
cite Is About Exhausted

The supply of hard coal is almost
exhausted i'll this city according to
one of the leading coal dealers.
That little coal is coming into the
city is due partly to the total sus-
pension Of operators at the mines
and partly to the high price asked
for it. A higher price is asked for
anthracite at the mines than here
IN the city The demand is not great
as the people cannot afford to pay
such prices. There is some furnace
coal i'll few yards and also some
pea coal. A few persons buy the
furnace coal and break it uD into
smaller sizes for kitchen use.
A car load Of stove coal arrived
here yesterday from the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad Com
pany and it was divided between
the Home of Friendless Children
and st. Peters Orphan Asylum at
Sixth and West streets. The mana
gers of both institutions feel CRATE
full to the railroad company for the
consideration which they have |
shown.
One man to-day purchased a half /.
ton of furnace coal for seven dollars
and he intends to break it up for
kitchen use. When asked why he
paid 50 much for it he said he did
SO just to have something valuable
in his house.
