Three Stages and Three Rings.

One can get good idea of the magni-
tude OF the Greatest Show on Earth by
! considering for q moment that three
stages, three circus rings, and race
track are required to exhibit the 100
acts. Besides these, again, there are
any quantity of aerial apparatus to en-
able the skilled artistes to execute the
thrilling acts in the air which are their
specalities. Then there are two mena
geries, IN elephant pavilion with three
herds of big performing pachydsrms, a
drove of camels, cages of Wild beasts,
birds, monkeys, etc. besides all the
curious led animals llamas, alpacas,
guanacos aud many others. And again
there is most delightful exhibition.
which is performed in the menagerie-
an exhibition of most charming char
acter executed by magicians, jugglers
and queer musicians, and by the odd
people in the collection OF freaks.
Aside from the people who are
great curiosities, the entertainment
is most praiseworthy. The exhibition
of living curiosities given in the meDa-
gerie tent il an excellent one. and bris-
ties with picturesque episodes and liy-
ng. acting tableaux. Neary 100 train
id horses perform at one time in three
eings, also presenting really majestic
spectacle, while the performances of the
sthree herds of elephants in three rings
are wonderful. The entire show is one
of exceptional merit and well worth a
visit--in fact. II Ia worth dozen visits,
for no one can see it all in less. All will
be here on Saturday Aug % nd. when
the splendid new street parade prove an
index TO the delightful performances In
the water proof tents, which are electri-
cally lighted as well, and contain foot
rest for every seat.

In mite Of the fact that during the
pagt twelve months the iron and steel
industry has been hampered by long
coa1 strike. and by something Of dead
lock in transportation facilities. the
total production of iron and steel
N the United States has grown to
truly enormous proportions. Probably
n the whole history of the world there
has never been . period when single
industry witnessed such phenomenal
development as that of the American
iron and steel trade. We have been ac-
cnstomed to regard the great industrial
establishments Of the country, and par
ticularIy those identified with the steel
industry, a. more than equal to any
possible demands of the home market,
vet 20 great has been our prosperity
that our great blast furnaces and steel
mills have been unable to cope with the
demand, and it has been necessary to
import . certain amount Of pig iron
from abroad.
During the last year the total produc-
tion q pig iron was II, ,821, ,307 tons. an
increase o. over two million tons on the
preceding year and gain OF fonr mill
Ion tons over the year 1900. Perhaps
these figures are best understood when
Il u stated that last years production
was nearly double that OF the year 1897.

Upon Adverse

Mrs. Neumann Denies Lanai Ranch
Liability and Joins in Prayer
for Accounting.

Notwithstanding its two sittings a
day for nearly a fortnight in hearing
the disbarment case, the Supreme
Court has found time to file decision
in a case submitted on February %
last This is the ejectment suit of
John Ii Estate, Ltd. VS.. r. Kahinu
Mele, in which judgment was render
ed for the defendant on a jury YER
dict.
An appeal was taken on different
grounds, the main one being that the
court erred in refusing to direct a YER
dict for the plaintiff on the ground
that prima facie case of adverse pos
session had not been established and
that the verdict is contrary to the law
and evidence" The Supreme Court
unanimously, in an opinion written by
Justice Perry, affirms the judgment.
]. A. Magoon and ]. Lightfoot appear
ed for plaintiff, Robertson & Wilder
for defendant. The law of the case
is thus stated:
The evidence in the case held suffi-
cient to support finding that the pos
session of certain land by the defend
ant and her predecessors in interest,
even though permissive at it's incep-
ton, was, for more than twenty years
next preceding the commencement of
the action, hostile and under such cir
cumstances as to bring home to the
fTI1 M re char
acter.
Plaintiff claimed under John Ii, to
whom a royal patent, based upon a
Land Commission award, was issued
in 1875. Defendant claimed under Ehu,
who obtained a Land Commission
award in 1851, and the piece in dispute
adjoins the land covered by that
award. The evidence supported find
ings that Ehu and his successors al
ways treated the disputed portion in ,
the same manner ais the land N Ehu's !
award, that the two portions We're re-
garded as constituting but one piece
and were enclosed within one fence,
that Ehu thought that in securing the
whole piece, that Ehu and his success
sors had continuously maintained a
fence around the premises which was
of rough Hawaiian timber
and later of imported materials, that
the only dwelling on the premises
stood on the disputed portion, that
two successive grass houses were SUI
perseded by a modern dwelling on the
same spot, that the occupation of the
premises was in all respects that of
an owner, that Ehu was not SER
want of the konohiki, that neither Ehu
nor any of his successors ever paid
rent in money or labor or otherwise,
and that beginning with 1873 the de-
'endant and her predecessors paid the
axes on the land. Besides there was
some slight evidence that in 1870 the
,wner of the ahupuaa recognized the
defendant or her predecessors as the
,wners of the premises in question.
