NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-There is a
strong feeling against the New York
Central railroad existing among senti-
mental people on account Of some new
rules which it proposes to introduce.
IheSe rules are designed to put q, stop
TO osculatory exercises and MANY of
those little frolics or Cupfd's court
which are dear to the hearts of ali
lovers and OF those who sympathise
with them.
AS yet the order has not been nro-
mulgated but it is said that at a re-
cent conclave of the officers of the
road Chauncey Depew suggested that
tunnel collisions and other matters
might perhaps be Indirectly traced
to these little amenities.
1t is not yet understood whether Mr..
Depew uttered these remarks in a wag-
gish spirit or whether he did it In a
minute OF piQue over something that
had happened to mar the ioy Of his
newly-wedded bliss factory.
The officials Of the road are stern
men, however, and will make no a.

ago pr. II. L. Wilder, then in charge Of
the Kings county hospital, New York, be-
came interested in Wentworth. Another
contract was made with him in which was
included clause stating that the physi-
clan does hereby agree to set up the
skeleton Of said body in a glass case in
his private office in such manner that ii
may be exhibited to my many profess
sional and other friends"
DIR. Wilder died recently, and this
gives Wentworth hope that that contract
is void because of the inability Of the
physician to keep that portion Of it ali
luding to the setting up of the skeleton
thus thwarting any claim Of DR. Wilder's
heirs for Wentworth's body.

Rice Throwing Objectionable.
"The Central officers are consider
ing the advisability of issuing an or
der that all rice throwing be prohibited
in the train sheds of their road, and
now the ban on kissing is to be pro-
mulgated. The company, 1t is said,
wants it understood that it does not
care so much about kissing, but that
it must be regulated. 1t may be done
in the waiting rooms, in carriage and
on the streets, but in the train sheds
and car platforms, it declares, the
custom is nuisance and a hindrance
to traffic"
The gatekeepers, grim as Charon,
ladling his passengers over Styx, have
always hated to see anything but ma
chine-like decorum among passengers
crossing their turnstiles and are in
high glee over the new plans for sup
pressing human joyfulness. Cerberus-
like they guard their turnstiles and lose
no chance to chill the merry smile
of the thoughtless lover with looks
Of Satanic disdain for his simple and
undispelled illusions.
The gatekeepers were especially
pleased at the prospect. 'It has al
ways been a nuisance" said Gateman
Dennis O'Brien yesterday. Bridal
parties come in here just in time to
catch the train. Then they stand
around and kiss and gigg1e until the
like of 1t you never saw

rice and shoeleather enough to stock
a store. Only the other day some guy
threw g. shoe and hit the man at gate
No. 16 in the stomach. Another party
went down the line and threw so much
rice over the Empire State engine that
the engine driver did not need any
sand all the way to Albany.

GEN. SMITH Retired

Washington, July 16. - Secretary
Root brought from Oyster Bay the
case of General Jacob II. Smith, tried
by court martial at Manila on account
of orders issued by Major Waller. Cen
eral Smith was found guilty of the
charges by the court and sentenced to
be admonished by the reviewing au-
thority. The President has so admon-
ished General Smith and retired him
under the law which provides that OFF,
GERS having reached the age of 81
years may be retired at will by the
President.
Secretary Root supplements the com
mand of President Roosevelt in a long
circular, in which he explains the con-
ditions which resulted in the court
martial OF General Smith, and shows
that although Smith issued the kill
and burn" order, as matter Of fact
few persons were killed as a result Of
that order, the casualties being con-
fined almost wholly to the eleven ma
tiyes killed under Major Walters di-
rection.

THE FAIR.

Taking into consideration the novel
~ Of the affair the display made at
the agricultural and merchants fair is
very gratifying. 1t shows that not
withstanding our magnificent island
distances Hawaii can rouse itself TO an
interest in agricultural products out
side the realm OF the Territory's great
mainstay. 1t is an eye opener to the
majority of the people, who, though
they possess a vague and general
knowledge of the Territorys capacity
to produce nearly every vegetable
grown, have hitherto been in ignorance
of the practical possibilities of our soil
and of what the small farmers are
doing
The exhibition of agricultural prod
ucts cannot fail tho give new interest
in the development Of profitable agri-
culture and broaden the scope Of the
small farmers. seeing Is D'll'Nlhb anu
the successful demonstration of what
can be done will put a more enthusias'
tic power behind whatever measures
may be proposed that Hawaii may sup
ply the demands of its local market
and have money spent here that now
goes to the farmers OF the Mainland.
Honolulu merchants and members OF
the Builders and Traders Exchange
have made exhibits that are pleasant
surprise. While the display is not as
extensive as many had supposed il
might be. there is an artistic finish and
attention to attractive detail that is a
credit to exhibitors and the city Of
Honolulu. The general impression
gained by the visitors is that Honolulu
business men are up-to-date in all theil
undertakings
