botli these were declined. The sculp- |
tor, Leonard W. Volk took model of |
him, and several magnificent monu-
ments have been graced with the
counterfeit presentment of Abe. He
was also exhibited at almost countless
popular and notable assemblies, from
fairs to political and soldiers reunions
from Independence Day celebrations
to the Centennial Exposition. In Oc-
tober, 1866, political convention was
held at Peoria, Ill. When the resolu-
ton proposing General Grant as can
didate for president was passed, as the
vast multitude rose and cheered, and
the band struck up Hail to the
Chief" Old Abe, as if understanding
it all, stretched high his proud form,
and repeatedly tapped his wings in
appreciation of the nomination. His
last public appearance in Wisconsin
was at the soldiers reunion at Mil
waukee in 1880. In the early part of
1881 fire started mysteriously in a
portion of the Capitol at Madison, near
the eagles large cage. The blaze
created an enormous volume of black
and offensive smoke, which at once
filled the cage. Abe uttered such
scream as had never before been heard
in that building. Persons rushed to
the rescue, and opened the door of the
cage, through which he escaped. He
was never we'll after that event, ate
little, sat in semi comatose condition
for few days, and March 26, 1881,
expired in the arms of his attendant,
George Gillies. AT first it was pro-
| posed to bury him with military
honors, but finally it was decided to
preserve and stuff him, and he now
stands in the war museum of the
capitol This necessarily brief out
line of the career of the famous bird
would be incomplete were there not

Attorney General Dole Answers Legal
Questions About the Appropriation
Boyd a Member Of the Commission.

In the meeting of the Executive
Council this morning Attorney General
Dole rendered an opinion regarding
the appropriation for Kapiolani Park,
i'm reply to questions from Superntend-
ent Boyd as follows:
Honorable James H. Boyd, Superin-
tendent Of Public Works. Dear Sir.
ann i'm receipt of your communication
of April 23 which is as follows:
Il have to inform you that bills have
been presented to this department for
approval dating from July 1st 1901 to
April 30th 1902, amounting to $4,000 for
the running expenses of the Honolulu
Park, more generally known as the Ka-
piOlani Park.
The appropriation for this purpose
reads, Honolulu Park Commission (sup-
erintendent of Public Works to be
member) and Act SO 1896 of An Act TO
provide for the permanent settlement
of kapiolgni Park provides that said
park shall be held in trust by six per-
sons for the maintenance of free
public park and to do all other acts o. d"
The Commissioners as provided for by
said act We're appointed by the Cover
nor prior to the passage of the appro-
prHtion act of 1901, which provides as
above stated.
" 1t is important and necessary for
the proper care of this public park that
the appropriation for the maintenance
Of the same should be made available
as soon as possible, and 1 would there
fore ask you to give an opinion on the
following:
GO First. Does the wording of the
appropriation, which states the Super
intendent of Public Works to be
member, make it mandatory that he
shall be a member prior to any funds
beng drawn from said appropriation, or
until such time as a vacancy may oC-
cur by which the superintendent Of
Public Works may be appointed a mem
Der?
Second If so, how can the Super
intendent of Public Works be appoint
ed a member of said park commission
when the same was filled prior to the
passage of said appropriation act?
Third. Do the provisions of the
said appropriation act make the Super
intendent of Public Works a member
Of the commission, or, in other words,
does the appropriation act, by the ad-
ditional clause therein, provide for a
seventh member in said board in the
person of the Superintendent Of Public
Works?
Fourth Does the law above quot
ed authorize the payment of funds from
he appropriation while the Superinten-
dent of Public Works is not a MEMBER
Act SO of the Laws of 1896 creates a
park commission of six members. two
of whom retire from office every two
years. ! think the condition attached
to the appropriation of 1901 adds the
superintendent of Public Works as a
seventh member ex-oficio / think Mr..
MCCandless became eX-OhiCiO a mem
ber of the commission upon the taking
effect of Act 4 of the Laws of 1901. and
upon his retirement and your appoint
ment that you became a member i'm the
same capacity.
IF the foregoing premises are correct
it follows that warrants can be drawn
pursuant to the appropriation.
"Nery respectfully yours,
"E. p. DOLE.
Attorney General"

which comes later.
Madeira was cordially received in
HilO on his trip there with Postmaster
Oat and the appointment seems every
where popular one. The position is
one carrying a very satisfactory emo
lument and is a promise of still further
steps in the government service. Ma
deira's rise in the department has been
unusually rapid since his first position
i'm the registry department and the rec
OmmendatiOn ana appointment comes
purely as a recognition of merit Ma
deira having MADE 40 application for
the position.
The bond required is a heavy one,
amour ting to $4,000 HilJ ranking as a
second class post office and the position
being responsible one. Inc new post
master found no difficulty in raising
the required amount twice over once
in Honolulu and again in Hilo, Mr.. Ma
deira preferred getting bondsmen from
the city over which he was to act but,
being a resident of Honolulu procured
prOmissOTy bOndsmen here to show his
ranking in his home city. The bond,
backed as satisfactory by the local
'post office inspector in charge, is now
on it's way to Washington whence the
full commission will be issued.
The new incumbent does not expect
to assume his position for about two
months Meantime a number of chan
ges including a box system will be
made in the Hilo post office, one Of the
foremost ambitions of the new post
master, in which he is backed by Htlo-
ties generally, being to get q new post

ing considered neither dignifed nor con-

ROUND TRIP TICKETS TO BE
HIGHER
Oceanic and Pacific Mail Lines WIN
Charge $135 Beginning Next Month
No Freight Rate War.

Quite an important arrangement has
been concluded between the Pacific
Mail and Oceanic Steamship COM
panies, 10y which the rates Tor round
trip tickets viii be raised. The price
which is now $125 for the round trip,
Will be raised to $l35. The new tariff
goes into effect May L.
Although the rate win be increased. a
concession has been given the travelling
public, however in the fact that the
tickets are Interchangeable, the return
portions being good on vessels of either
line. For instance, If a round trip tick
ct should be purchased from the Oce-
anic people in Honolulu, the holder
would have the right to return to Ho-
nOiulu on one of the Pacific Mail boats
or vice versa.
The two companies are given mo-
nOpOly on the passenger business be-
tween Honolulu and san Francisco.
The present agreement can not there
fore, be escaped. The Pacific Mail peO-
pie were the ones, it is understood who
began the agitation. They insisted
that the difference was too great be
tween a round trip ticket and two or
dinary single passengers. The matter
was discussed at some length, and
finally ended i'm the present agreement
being reached.
A report from San Francisco to the
effect that freight war between that
port and the Hawaiian Islands was I'M
minent, is said here to be ridiculous.
The coast paper stated that the pres
ent rate of $3.50 a ton on freight had
been cut by the sailing vessels to $3.50
ton If such a cut has been made,
the agents of the various sailing yes
sells are not aware of the fact. That
they would certainly have been ap-

Tax Collector Pratt has been sued for
$3.50 damages by the japanese who pur-
chased some goods at a recent auction
sale i'm Bailcy's cyclery i'm spite of d
seizure of the goods by Pratt The
tax collector still has the goods ana
proposes to have them auctoned off
next Thursday to satisfy claim of
S99lO for property tax due from the
owner.
The Jap who has brought the suit
paid thirty dollare to Auctioneer Nor
gan, for goods he purchased. Pratt
had already seized the goods and he
refused to allow the Jap to take them.
The public sale for taxes was set for
last Saturday. but was postponed, as
there appeared to be very few bidders
i'm the auction room. The law allows
one postpOnement for not more than a
week. so that the sale will have to take
place this week. In the meantime the
courts are asked to decide whether
Pratt was right i'm making the seizure,
and holding the goods in spite of the
Jap.s purchase Of them.
The Jap was notified before he made
his bid that the goods had been seized
for taxes, but he did not appear to un-
derstand and went ahead with his
bids, paying as the things We're knock
ed down to him. He now claims that
his purchases We're so good that he is
out $50 by reason of his failure to get
the stuff
The action which Pratt is taking is
under section SG5 of the Civil Code, un-
der which there have been few similar
actions here. The section authorizes
the tax collector to seize and sell goods
for claims for taxes, but i'm very few
cases has this power been invoked to
the fun extent In most cases a seizure
is followed by payment and the release

.ALAMEDA TO USE oil

1t is regarded as very probable that
the Alameda win be converted into an
oil burning craft. The recent success
full experiment with the S. S. Enterprise
on the Hilo route, has caused the
Spreckels people to take very favor
able view of OIL as a fuel for ocean
going steamers.
The Nariposa has just been converted
into an OH burning boat. and according
to reports In San Francisco before the
Alameda left he Alameda was to- be
taken off the Honolulu run and put out
Of commission so that she could be
fitted with oil tanks. The M1ripOga
was expected to be put on the local run
i'm the Alameda's but according to San
Francisco paper the Mariposa was to
be put on the Tahiti run.
Oil as fuel, viii mean a great saving
to the steamer people IT can be secur-
ed at a much ChesDer figure than coal,
and, in addition, it means a material
saving In the way of wages to men in
the fire room. There will be no more
coal passers or stokers necessary and
this will cut down the force at least 16
men. In other parts in the engineer de
partment a further reduction can be
made
The utmost care has, of course to be
taken in the use of the oil No lamps
or torches can be taken into the tank
rooms Only carefully guarded electric
lights are permitted, The tanks con-
tanning the oil, are not made a p&Ct OF

be a number of tanks The oil can not
be put into one large tank but it has to
be kept i'm several smaller ones. The
system of firing the fuel is simple a
faucet being simply turned on. and the
oil flows into the furnaces. The ser
