P. T. Barnum on the Defensive.

lJoel Benton. in the August Century,
Mr.. Barnum's innate and exubcrant
love OF joke, which was n trait maternal
ly inherited. and his frequent habit of
understood by the public. He therefore
suffered sometimes from too much of his
own disparasing frankncss. His first au-
photography, issued in 1850 was not
meant to be taken as literal truth; but it
was so taken, and the criticism of it was
very bitter The soberer. matter-of- fact
public of that day did not see the Pick
wickian sense and the orientalism of state
ment that pervaded it. The cold type
could not carry with it the twinkling of
the authors eye
The three things. however, which
brought upon him the sharpest criticism
were the three curiosities of his show,
which were called Joyce Heth, the Woolly
Horse and the Fee Gee Mermaid The
first of these was said to be Washing
tons body-servant, and was given an in
credible age; the second was real colt
that was a freak: the last was probably
of Japanese manufacture. Mr.. Barnum
constructed neither the second nor the
third. but bought them from exhibitors.
and he was himself fooled mt first by the
certificates of Joyce Heth's history. He
frankly admits in his biography that he
employed two of them TO advertise his
museum. and was not trying to make
their history too exact in announcing
them. He romanced somewhat, he says,
regretfully. in describing the horse. born
in Indiana, as a curiosity discovered by
Col. Fremont in the Rocky Mountains;
but did this to call attention to IL museum
OF curiosities of which it, with the other
TWO. was merely fractional part. He said
he should not do this again, and expressed
a wish that it had not been done at all.
The best palliation he could plead for
these schemes was that, without them, he
did give a big money's-worth to all who
visited his museum. No perfectly ethical
defense, beyond this, was offered.

crossroads in advance of the arrival of

Gen. GrierSon advancing beyond the cross
roads. soon found that the enemy We're
steadily increasing i'll numbers, and when
he had advanced a mile and Il half be-
yOnd the crossroads he found the enemy
III sufficient numbers to impede his fur
Tier advance. Here Gen. Grierson. as be-
fore stated, established his line of battle.
Gen. Forrest had this advantage over
the Union Generals: he had full knowl
edge of their strength and movements,
while they had been unable to secure any
definite information of the whereabouts
and number of his forces until they en-
countered them near Brice's Crossroads.
Gen. Sturgis had been insuiiiciently pro-
yided with food for his horses; conse-
quenily. while on the march he sent out
small parties every day in search of for
age. These parties were invariably at
tackled. and some of them were captured.
but this did not occasion the General any
apprehension. He seemed to think that in
the enemy's country it was to be expected
that detachments of cavalry would be
found towering around a moving column
of Union troops. 1t was through the en-
terprise and audacity of these small bod
les of scouts that Gen. Forrest was con-
stantly kept advised of Gen. Sturgis's
movements, and was thus able to select
the field of battle.
y QUESTION OF CONCENTRATION.
After the arrival of Gen. Sturgis at the
front the fight constantly increased in Sc
verify. 1t now became a question which
of the two Commanding Generals would
be able to concentrate his forces first upon
the field Of battle. Gen. Sturgis's infan-
try column was five miles to the rear when
the actual fighting began; it was stretched
out in marching order a distance of at
least three miles. and was encountered with
the wagon trains, besides. in reaching the
battlefield the troops and artillery had to
cross Il muddy bottom. Gen. FORESTS
troops had better roads and We're wholly
unencumEered with wagons. Gen. For

Lehua Also Returned Yesterday-Wea-

lokai Landings News.

Two vessels had to come back to port
yesterday on account of the rough wea-
ther They were the steamer Lehua
and the gasoline schooner Malolo The
weather was so bad at an but one Of
the landings at MOlOkai that the Lehua
could not land freight, while the Malolo
was forced to return from sea, without
getting any where near her destination.
The MalOlO struck bad weather off
kaena Point The waves broke over
/ her and the further along the vessel
went the more endangered she was 1t
| looked several times as if she would
lose her deck load. She was finally
| brought around when 20 miles the other
side of kaena Point yesterday morning
and headed for Honolulu, arriving in
the afternoon. The Malolo started for
Hanalei and Kalihiwai Monday after
noon.
The Lehua left Monday afternoon on
her regular run to windward Molokai
ports. The surf was breaking over the
sea wall at kalaupapa and it would
have been fOOlhardy to have attempted
a landing. The weather was just as
bad at the other ports on the northern
side of MOlOkai. with the exception OF
Halawa where landing was made
The vessel sails today on her regular
run to MOlOllai and Maui ports.
The steamer Mikahala arrived this
morning from her regular run to Kauai
ports. She reports very bad weather
She reached Nawiliwil Friday. after
a very rough passage with heavy seas
and southwest winds. She went to Ma
kaweli in the morning but the weather
was so rough that She returned to
Eleele for shelter. About 8 o'clock Fri
day night, a message was received from
Makawel asking the Mikahala to hur-
ry to that place and stand by the bark
w. b. Flint which was dragging her
anchors. When the Mikahala came
alongside however the captain Of the
Flint said he did not wish any assist

TO CLOSE
BRANCH OF A WORLD FAMED
INSTITUTION.
Inability to Secure the Requisite Train
ed and Professional Help the Princi-
pal Reason for Disseminating.

The Honolulu Sanitarium branch OF
the widely famed Battle Creek. Michi-
gan Sanitarium is to be discontinued.
DR.. Luella 5. Cleveland the physi-
clan says on the subject
1T has been decided by the Board of
Management on the mainland to close
up the Sanitarium work now going on
in Honolulu Much, for the reason that
it has been impossible to get sufficient
capable professional help to carry on
the work as fully and completely as has
always been desired. There have been
so many calls for sanitarium work IN
larger fields that it was thought best
to supply those fields first
Then too, constant rumOTs of bubO-
mic plague and the usual dread of a tro-
pical climate have deferred many cap
able persons from connecting them
selves with the work here. The plan
from the first has been to have a good
corps of capable professional workers
in moderate sized and well equipped
sanitarium on a good location where all
the lines of our work could be carried
on as is done on the mainland This
may be done i'm the future when more
confidence is established i'm the future
of the Islands in the states.
Il wish to thank all the friends and
| patrons of our institution i'm behalf of
the Board for their interest and assist
ance in the work"
The sanitaTium thus to be discon-
| tinued is located on King street just be-
/ yond Thomas Square, and has been in
successful operation for several years

PRESUMED TO KNOW BIDDERS WERE RASH
CHINESE RAN PRICES Up VERY
HIGH
Pay Big Prices for Firecrackers and
Wrapping Paper-Sake Tubs Worth
More Now-Custom Sale.

There was "a big crowd at the Customs
House yard this morning at the sale Of
unclaimed goods. Most of the stuff Of
fered consisted of Chinese and Japanese
ware and food stuffs. Chinese predO-
minated among the bidders although
several of the Little Brown Men were
on hand with money The bidders
seemed to have been inOCulated with
the germ Of prOdigality for the prices
that were paid for various articles were
simply ridiculous. There was no evi-
dence of any ring" having been or
ganized to secure the articles at a low
rate. In fact, judging from the ami
mated and aggressive way in which the
bidding was done, the crowd was com
posed of the Bow WOngs and Consul
Chinese.
One Of the Chinese bidders became so
enthused with the idea of competition
that he ran up his bid on five empty
sake tubs which ordinarily sell for
cents apiece, to $1.25 for the lot. Thirty
pounds Of frecrackers which were ap-
praised at a little over S4 brought $I1.5O
A quantitv of ordinary wrapping paper
which could not have been worth more
than $3.50 was knocked down for $3.50
Bamboo sticks, sandals, potato flour
peas and Chinese rice wine, straw,
Chinaware and bamboo baskets, were
among the articles sold Many of the
goods We're damaged as they had been
in the custom warehouse and where
from a year up. 1t seemed to make no
difference what the condition of the
article was or how apparently devoid
of value it seemed. The more worthless
the article looked to be, the higher in
proportion, was the bidding. About a
dozen cases of Irish whiskey and some
| rum were sold but the Chinese did not
/ figure in this class of bidding as their
money was probably all gone by the
! time the auCtiOneer reached the IL
! lquor. The whiskey which was not Of
a very high proof but had been at least
eight years in the custom house brought
Sc case and the rum 81 a case. The
| sale was considered to have been highly
| successful as the proceeds were largely
| in excess Of what mad been anticipated.

JUSTICE GALBRAITH ON THE
LEGISLATURE.
Everybody Including Members of the
Legislature, Presumed to Know the
Law, Says the Chief Justice.

The opening sentences in Justice Gal
braith's dissenting opinion in the case
of the Tax Assessor against Frank
Halstead has attracted a good deal of
attention and has been the cause of
many "iOshes" among attorneys who
have the benefit of reading the opinion.
Galbraith began with the following re-
mark: Everybody is presumed to
know the law, including the members
of the Legislature of the Territory Of
Hawaii"
AS if this were not startling enough,
the justice followed it up with the re-
mark that the members of the said
legislature are presumed to legislate
in the light Of this knowledge
OF course Justice Galbraith's re-
marks, dissOciated from what follows,
appear different from what they ap-
pear as a part of a learned discussion
o. the liabilities of Frank Halstead to
pay income tax, under the law passed
by the last legislature, who, with
everybody is presumed to know the
law Galbraith did not agree with
Frear and Perry as to the liability.
His remarks as to the presumption
that even members of the legislature
of Hawaii are presumed to know the
law, were part of an argument to show
that the legislature did not intend that
an inheritance such as that of Halstead
should pay income tax. The law as
passed last year, said that the income
tax provided for should not be taxed
Oh "inheritances otherwise taxed as
such" Halstead paid a federal inheri-
tance tax on his income, according to
law, and therefore, Justice Galbraith
said presuming that the Legislature
did in fact know the law, il was proper
and legal to presume that they meant
what they incorporated in the bill
Frear and Perry disagreed, however
Without saying whether they thought
the legislature knew the law or not
they held that the legislature didn't
mean federal taxes, and that Halstead
ought to pay income tax on the $40 0Ol
he inherited from his father

CATTLE MENORGAN
PLAN on FOOT TO INCREASE
PROFITS.
Would Regulate Supply to Meet De-
mand, Prevent Congestion of the
Market and Reduce the Expenses.

A movement is said to be on foot
among the graziers and cattle raisers
looking to a closer combination of in
terests for better profits and decreased
expenses. Dr. j. H. Raymond is cred
ited with being at the head of the
movement.
Inc competition of California and
coast beef brought here in cold storag-
is one of the elements considered i'm tina
movement. The effort il is said, will
rot be so much to raise the price of
cattle as to regulate the shipment of
them to market so that the exact
needs of the market will be continu-
oUsly met, and enable graziers TO ship
only cattle really ready for market
1t is not known just how far the
movement has progressed.
It is reported also that W. Fl. Corn
well is negotiating with Gear Lansing
x Co. for the sale Of the Catle ranch
on Maui brought by that concern "a
year or two ago.

NAVY EXPERIMENTING
TESTING COST OF SHIPPING BY
GOLFERS.
If 1t be Found Cheaper, Coal viii be
Sent to Honolulu in Navy's own YES
sells.

The Navy Collier Alexander, Captain
Nickels, arrived this morning from
Norfolk, Va. with 24OO tons of coal for
the Naval station Captain Nickels
reports an uneventful voyage. The trip
lasted "A days. The vessel had to put
into San Juan de Porto Rica to re-
pair several of her pumps On this
side of the Horn, the second mate died
and was buried at sea. The vessel put
into MontivediO and there received a
clean bill Of health.
The present voyage Of the collier is
in the nature of an experiment on the
part of the Navy department and is
being watched with considerably inter
est. This trip will determine whether
i. will be cheaper to send the coal to
this Naval station, in regular navy col
lieTs, or else in merchant sailing yes
sells, as has been the previous custom.
The Navy department aims to use no.
thing but PocOhOntas coal which is
found in Virginia and, in consequences
the question as to whether it can not
be shipping cheaper in it's own collier
than in chartered vessel, has been con-
sidered by the Naval people.
One of the last vessels to arrive here
from Norfolk was the ship Roanohe
which had a large quantity of PocOhon'
tas coal for San Francisco. The cargo
caught fire and it was due only to the
wisdom of her master, Captain Ames-
bury in making for this port, that the
vessel and a large portion of her cargo
wSare saved
Seventy-four days seems a long time
however for a collier to make this triI
but she was no doubt delayed by rea
son of having put into San Juar
and MOntivediO.
The Alexander has more than 24O'
tons of coal aboard but will keep al
over that amount to carry her back tC
Norfolk. The Navy department has
about a dozen golfers and should the
present experiment prove money say
ing proposition, some Of them will DC
run regularly to this port.
