Property owners on Maxwell ave-
nue., protesting against the work done
by the Washington Water Power
company in laying the new car tracks
on the street. have precipitated
three-cornered fight which is likely to
result in expensive litigation and
which exposes a careless administra-
tion of the affairs Of the city engi-
neer's Office and the board of public
works in the past.
The trouble arises over the conten-

engineer that the new tracks are laid
on the established grade of the ave-
tracks are below the accepted grade
and have petitioned the board of pub
lie works to order the street car COM

them at higher grade to conform
with the present grade Of the avenue.
When the franchise for the laying
of the new tracks was granted the
council provided for the laying OF
the same at the grade of the avenue.
This is also provided for in the char

tracks are to be laid flush with the

to six inches higher than the estab-
lished grade. The street had been
graded and accepted some four or
five years ago and at that time 1t
was noticed that in crowning the
avenue the contractor had raised the

The street car company's engineer
decided the street was higher than

An odd Ornament.

There is a curious ornament in the

sists of the stump. embedded flush in a
circular pedestal of concrete, of the
Governors fagstaff' of the monarchy.
Cracks running in three directions
from the center to the circumference
contain a iuxuriant growth of grass
dividing the pedestal into three sections
of equal size. and the contrast between
gray and green makes an object looking
like the decoration of some royal order.
The fiagstaff was named as stated from
having flown the Hawaiian flag that
was only hoisted by order of the Gov
ernor of Oahu and symbolized his au-
thority. He had general jurisdiction
over the police of Oahu

are provided. Tssis will save a great
deal of unnecessary labor which would
otherwise be involved in yarding the cat
tie The feed-troughs or hunks should
be from 8 IL to 4 feet wide and about
10 feet long, so that from twelve to fif-
teen animals may feed at the same time
without injury or too much crowding.
The hunks should be about 5 feet high
from the ground and have side and end
pieces about inches III height to keep
the feed in place. They should be built
on good stout legs which should slant
outwards as they approach the ground
so as to make them more stable and
less liable to be knocked over by the
animals. Grinding corn usually saves
about 10 to II per cent; thus the adj
visibility or non-advisability must be
determined by the cost of grinding and
the price of corn. At the prices stated
it IS not likely that grinding would be
economical Where hogs follow the
cattle they utilize large amount of the
corn which passes through the animals
tindigested, thus reducing the waste to
minimum. w ]. KENNEDY.

SOME FINE STAGE
PICTURES PREPARED

One of the most attractive features OF
the performance of The Ahl<llud of Swat
will be the blending of colors in the cos
TUNES of the young ladies and the men
of the cast and chorus. One of these
features GENES in the very last act, that
whose scene is the fancy dress BAH at the
New York mansion where are gathered
all the characters of the piece for an
evening of enjoyment which turns out
to be All evening of trouble for the faker.
Insthis scene viii be used several cos
TUNES imported especially for the act
from the coast One of these is the Ju-
liet costume of Mrs. Benson as Mrs.
Poppleton Mrs. Camp could not find
anything suitable either here or on the
Coast and there was designed and made
here for her gown which combines
the bright shades of the Orient and inn
parts the appearance of the high caste
women of India, its long lines and
tabliers giving an effect of height and
slenderness so dear to the Indian.
Also in this scene there is sharp con-
trast between the two men calling them
selves the Ahkund The part of the real
prince, who though twice arrested comes
out on top at length, is sustained by
James D. Dougherty whose pleasing ten
or is heard in conjunction with the clear
soprano of Mrs Hibberdine in the pref
test thing in the opera in the second
act. In the final act it is matter of
acting except in the finale. The dress
of the Ahkund for this act is a combina-
ton OF velvet and silk with lace trim
r11ings, the whole carried to completion
by a turban with aigrette. The costume
is the most elaborate of those worn by
the men in the piece. Second only by
little in its magnihcence IS the costume
worn by Raymond Brown, as the All
ktrld, he first appearing and being re re-
ceived by the lady of the mansion. The
colors alone distinguish the players, for
in other particulars their make up IS
about the same.
Taken as a whole the comedy will be
one of the prettiest things yet seen here
and will appeal especially to those who
delight in stage pictures.
