JUDGE HARTWELL
ON COUNTY ACT

Editor Advertiser: While it is I'M
likely that Congress will take early
action, if any, about our County Act,
I see no cause for anxiety about the
Act. The Supreme Court if applied
to, could decide test case before the
end of this month. If the Act stands,
very we'll; if it shall be held to be in
valid, then all existing laws remain in
force, and the former appropriation
bill would be available under Section
81 of the Organic Act, for "a failure
of the Legislature to pass appropria-
ton bills providing for payments of
the necessary current expenses of car
rying on the government and meeting
its legal obligations as the same are
provided for by the then existing
laws"
Nor do see any advantage in pass
ing resolutions now one way or the
other about the rather informal in
quiry of Congressman proposed to be
made by Mr.. Hatch.
If the Act shall not be tested, al
official acts of county officials will have
the validity of de faeto officers and in
volve no personal liability. This COM
munity need not allow itself to be dis
quoted in these matters. So it looks
to me.

A New Back for an Old One.
How 1t is Done in
Honolulu.

Sometimes the back aches with a
dull. indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; sometimes pain
shoots across the region of the kidneys,
and again the loins are so lame to
stoop is agony. No use plastering or
rubbing the back in this condition. You
cannot reach the cause. To exchange
bad back for a new and stronger
one, follow the example of this Homo
lulu citizen:
Mr.. A. ]. Cahill, Of Fort street, this
city, night Waterman in the employ of
Messrs. T. H. Davies & Co., Ltd, says:
Whilst young man I was a sailor
and at one time worked for the Inter
Island service. was, however,
obliged to give up sea life on account
of severe suffering from my back and
kidneys. FOR this 1 had tried various
remedies, but the one which restored
me to health was Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills-procured at HOLSTERS
Drug Store. They relieved me COM
pletely after years of suffering. If any
one desires further particulars he may
apply to me. I am to be found at Van
Dorn's Ship Chandlery, Fort street."
You should get the same medicine
which helped Mr.. Cahill. See that the
full name DoAN'S BACKACHE KID
NEY PILLS Is on the wrapper and re-
fuse any imitation.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills arr

are unknown routine. But he does do a
lot of bag punching and baseball prac-
tice housekeeping his mighty right
arm in shape and his body trained for
the work he will do when his regiment
arrives among Uncle Sans new island
citizens. Garvin's baseball career, that
is, his career since he sprang into fast
company, began in 1898, in an all-col-
lege team league. And he is now en-
gagged, or will be shortly, in working up
an all-soldier league. From salary
of 81, 500 per year Garvin consented to
play ball for Uncle Sam for $13 per
month, on the condition that Uncle Sam
waive the soldier" clause in his con-
tract.
When he jumped his Milwaukee con-
tract Garvin went to Binghamton, N.
| Y, and twirled for that club in the
State League. He was there but three
weeks when he signed a contract with
the manager to pitch for Binghamton
! in 1904-and then he jumped again.
Trenton, N. J., next secured his SER
vices to pitch one game against the
! New York Nationals, the Giants being
on transforming tour of the Atlantic
! States. He was to receive $40 for this
/ game and was offered contract for
! 1904 at $1,000 per year. Garvin signed.
This latter signature took him into an
aggregation of farming out" players
that Connie Mack was organizing to
play in Trenton next season.
| NEW YORK SIGNS HIM.
| Before the game with the Giants
came off 'Mugsy" McGraw discovered
!! that the crack Yale pitcher was to be
put in the box against his team and he
at once telegraphed to New York and
had Mathewson, the mighty, come on
to twirl for the Giants. In the game
which followed the Giants got three
| hits off Garvin, but won the game or
Trenton's four errors. After this per-
Torrance 'Mugsy' McGraw felt thai
he had discovered a jewel and he took
Garvin out and dined him sumptuously
| incidentally offering him a contract
| with the Giants for next season al
$500 per. Garvin signed this contract
also. Three days later Garvin got
letter from "Mugsy'' informing hin
that he had learned of his other three
contracts and that the National League
would take action in his case anc
shortly after this letter Garvin read al
account of his being blacklisted by the
National Association of Baseball
Leagues.
And that is how Dick Garvin came
to be the best baseball pitcher and bas
puncher in Uncle Sans army. Hi:
bag punching ability is we'll known IL
the East where he was for time con
nected with Keith's vaudeville circui
and made good money humping the
swinging spheroid.

SENATOR QUAY's LETTER.

Backed by a letter from Senator
Matthew Quay, the political boss of
Pennsylvania, Garvin entered the
United States army under suspicious
circumstances. He enlisted at Phila-
delphia on October 10, vase sent to
Columbus Barracks and assigned to
the Twentieth Infantry. Arriving at
Columbus Private Garvin, crack base
ball pitcher, presented his letter from
Quay to the commander of the post and

PRODUCTION OF COAL.
Anthracite Showed a Falling Off of
About 40 Per Cent

A preliminary statement showing the
coal production of the United States. pre-
pared by Edward w. Parker. statistician,
has just been issued by the United States
geological survey. 1t shows that for the
first time in the history of the United
States the production Of coal has reached
a total of over 300 100000 short tons. the
actual showing being 800 $50 $50 tons, val
ued at S373, 133, S43 OF this total, the output
of anthracite coal amounted to 1896, TO
long tons equivalent to Al, 2s9. 595 short
tons). which, as compared with the pro-
duction Of 6O,242, $50 long tons in 1901.
shows a decrease of 23,376. $50 long tons,
or almost 40 per cent. The decrease was
due entirely to the suspension of operations
by the strike in the anthracite region. Tho
value at the mines OF the anthracite pro-
against s112,5O402O in 1901. The average
value Of the marketed coal sold during the
year at the mines was $3.50 per long ton,
the value in 1901 having been s2.0o.
The output of bituminouS coal amounted
in 1902 to 259, GAL ,O64 short tons, valued at
500, lie, 9O6, as against 225,S26, S49 short
TONS valued at 1896, 4O6 40, in 1901. The
production Of bituminous coal In Pennsyl-
vania in 1902 exceeded that of 1901 by
49, 755, S74 short tons. but was not sufficient
to overcome the great loss in anthracite
production. The states in which the more
important increases in the coal production
occurred were Illinois, which gained $751;
751 short tons. or little more than 20 per
cent over 1901; Colorado. whose increase
was 2.314,412 short tons, or over 40 per
tons, not quite II per cent; Indiana, with
an increase Of 2, 268,371 short tons, or near
ly SO per cent; Alabama, with gain o.
1,49O, 865 short tons, or Is per cent.

CITIZENS CONFER.
Needs Of Cathedral Heights Section Set
Forth in Resolutions.

The first regular fall meeting of the
Cathedral Heights Citizens Association
was held last evening, with the president,
r. H. Goldsborough presiding, and Mr.. w.
s. Peachy as secretary. The secretary
was directed to extend the thanks Of the
association to the Commissioners for the
grading of Wisconsin avenue and also to
request that an additional appropriation be
asked of Congress for the completion OF
the work and the extension of the grade
q greater distance south than Is now con-
templated.
A resolution was also adopted urging
that a steam fire engine be substituted for
the chemical engine at Tenleytown 1t be-
ing urged that the present apparatus is
totally inadequate for the needs of the
community. 1t was asserted that the
chemical engine cannot cope with fires in
exposed places, and that as this entire
section is equipped with water. steam
engine is the only proper apparatus.
A resolution asking for an appropriation
for grading Woodley lane west of Wiscon-
sin avenue was adopted, as was one urging
the Commissioners to include In their estl-
mates an item to complete the construc-
ton of the Arizona avenue sewer and lat
erals in accordance with the promise OF
the Senate committee that sufficient funds
for this purpose would be provided at the
coming session of Congress.
On motion of Mr.. McGiu the secretary
was directed to extend the thanks OF the
association to Major Sylvester for his eff
forts in locating a substation at Tenley-
town.
The meeting was largely attended.
