SUMMAT ABOUT
THE DOG SHOW
The Morning Telegraph" says:

Without any disrespect it may be
mentioned that the march of civiliza-
ton has reached the Paradise of the
Pacific, for Honolulu is to have a dog
show. The intelligence is to hand that
an exhibition will be held under the
rules of the American Kennel Club on
September 5th. 9Th and 7th. The secre-
tary is D. J. Styne P. o. box 1891. Homo
lulu. 1t is also learned that already a
certain enterprise in New York has ex-
pressed a wish to superintend or
manage the show. 1t is hoped that the
Eastern ring, which recently has played
the Old Harry with some of our shows
will not be allowed to boss the Pa
cific Coast affairs and those shows
held under the wing of the Pacific
Coast Advisory Committee of the A.
K. c..
Roughly, Honolulu is one week on a
sixteen-knot mail boat from Frisco, but
it is likely that some of the best coast
dogs will be sent across, for it would
be fine excuse for as glorious a Holt
day as any owner could desire. But
there are lots of very decent dogs in
the palm-shaded town that lies at the
feet of the Punchbowl Hill.
Here we find the stepping-stone of
the Orient and the Occident, while the
natives of the small islands and archi-
pelagoes of the Southern Seas look to-
ward the f1ower-bedecked city to all
intents and purposes as the queen and
capital city of all the tropics. Ameri-
can influence is everywhere seen,
while each white, brown, yellow and
black people from Asia. America and
the islands retain their personalities
and costumes.
AS before remarked. there are very
many good dogs, especially in the way
of nice looking gun dogs, for there is
excellent shooting to be had in Hawaii
Then, again, there are some decent lap
dogs, among them Japanese spanie1s,
that have been brought by their own
ers from the dominions of the Mikado
d. ]. Styne, whose address has been be-
fore mentioned, will be glad to give
further particulars in connection with |

said Lord Chatham, sis a plant

in things that they see, and in
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes calico blind faith is
not faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form a foun-
dation for trust. In regard to a
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, elias it cured 9TH

relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it record above suspic-

HONOLULUS
ARE FOOLISH
Are Cutting off Their
Nose to Spite
Face.

The investigation of last Saturdays
baseball game between the Honolulus
and Kamehamehas, by the trustees of
the league, is proceeding slowly, but
surely. The trustees are doing their
work thoroughly and when all the
will be announced
The decision of the Honolulus not to
play another game until the findings
of the trustees has been returned,
caused some surprise about town yes
terday, the baseball-loving community
having apparently given the H. A. Cs.
to take such a foolish stand
Whatever the Honolulus may or may
not do is not likely to affect local base
ball unfavorably. Four clubs remain
in the league and the other leagues will
undoubtedly help out to give the pub
lie their moneys worth and keep up
the double bill which has for So long
been dished up on Saturdays at the
ball park.
The town is full of good baseball
players and there is no shortage of
pitchers among them
The idea of the H. A. Cs. attempting
to lay down the law to the trustees of
the league by refusing to play until they
do what they want them to. reads like
joke out of a funny paper. The frog
on the log, in the fable, wasn't half
so swelled up with the sense of his
own Importance as are the Honolulus
in the little matter of honest playing
or otherwise at present at issue.
1t is probable that the Oahus will
have to claim tomorrow's game with
the Honolulus by default, in accord
ance with the rules

may, nay" said the Treasurer.
Mr.. Campbell, properly enough, did
not want to become responsible for this
money, nor did he want to have it kick
ing around in his office. So, Mr.. Camp
bell and Auditor Fisher carried the mat
ter to the Governor yesterday after
noon, and there was long consultation
about it. AS a result of this, Superin-
tendent Holloway will be ordered to
take no more money for sewer rates I'M
der protest, and the amounts already
so taken will be turned back.
In other words, the Territory will
pass the buck to the rate payers.
'.We will let them take the risk, if
they do not want to pay the rates.
said Governor Carter. ''They can test
the law if they do not think it is just,
and pay the penalty. If any property
holder wants to pay the rates and take
his receipt, well and good. We are not
here to take payment under protest,
awaiting a test of law. We are here
to enforce the law as it stands. -
And so, if a property owner does not
believe in the justice of the sewer
rates, he must cherish his unbelief
hereafter at his own risk. The Terri
tory will not help him to do it by ac-
cepting payment under protest, and
thereby shielding him if the law should

NAPoLEoN's GROWING HuMlL

When Napoleon left the Elysee in
June, 1916, intending to go to Malmai-
son, he was in great financial straits,
Therefore he ordered Peyrusse. his
treasurer, the same who accom-
panied him to the Isle of Elba, to sell
an annuity bond for 10000 francs and
bring him the money. Peyrusse hcsii
tated to comply with the order. and,
when questioned by Napoleon, told
the emperor that he thought the sale
could not be effected without notar-
ial power of attorney. Napoleon
shrugged his shoulders and ordered
Peyrusse to retire. The next morning
the latter returned, accompanied by
notary public, as nobody was willing
to accept the conveyance of bond
made out in the name Of Napoleon
without a legal power of attorney.
The notary, though conscious of the
impression which his words and pres
ence must make upon the emperor.
