Wins
Appealed
KOna Case

Decisions were given by the Supreme
Court this morning in two cases of
Eliza Roy ct ais VS. NJ. r. Scott. APP
pealed from the third circuit court, of
Kona In both cases the circuit judge
is reversed The case involved about
$4,000 worth of sugar came. In a for
mer recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the same matter, exceptions
were overruled. The cases were re-
opened by a writ of error, after which
the plaintiffs secured an injunction
from Judge Mathewman to prevent de-
PENDANT from further prosecuting the
matter. In the decisions given this
morning the injunction is dissolved and
the decree of the circuit judge i'm the
induction case is reversed, while in
the general proceedings out of which
the injunction case grew, the circuit
court is held to have no jurisdiction
and it's judgment is vacated and set
aside.
The plaintiffs in the case were Eliza
Roy, j. d. Paris, j. ID. Johnson, w. H.
Shipman and w. II. Johnson. M. F..
Scott was the only defendant The suit
was for damages for trespass, plain
tiffs claiming title to lands on which
is large crop of growing sugar, which
the defendant claimed under lease The
following extract from the decision
of the court, by Justice Hartwell, shows
the ground on which the district and
circuit court of Kona was reversed.
THE amount claimed by the plain
tiffs was within the jurisdiction of
the magistrate, but as there could be
no trespass on land of which the plain
tiffs were not actually or constructively
in possession and as the defendant
denied the plaintiffs right and claimed
to be entitled in his own right to the
possession, the magistrate should have
declined to try the case, whether the
defendant objected to his taking the
jurisdiction or not, as soon as he saw
that the defendant disputed the plain
tiffs' right. The statute provides that
district magistrates shall not have
cognizance of real actions nor actions
in which the title to real estate shall
come in question. Sec. 1862, r. L.
Smith & Lewis and L. ]. Warren ap-
peared for plaintiff and J. w. Cathcart
for defendant.

HEALANIS TALK OF
PROTESTING RACE

There has been some talk among the
Healani supporters to the effect that
the Senior boat race of yesterday should
be protested on account of the false
start made at the beginning of the
race. The Healani boys claim that
they made the better start in the first
attempt and that the recall had much
to do with their losing the race. 1t
was the first time in the history of
rowing in the inlands that such a false
start was made and occurring as it did
in so important a race it was the prin-
cipal topic of discussion wherever two
devotees of the sport would chance to
meet.
The rules under which the event was
pulled states that if within the first
twenty strokes of the start any thing
should break the rowers have the right
to stop and demand new start. Act
ing under this rule the Myrtle boys
stopped yesterday after a few strokes
and demanded a new start because as
they claim the foot piece of Captain
Sam Johnson broke and he was I'M
able to do justice to himself in the boat
The Healani supporters claim that
nothing whatever broke and that Cap
tain Johnson's foot simply slipped from
the rest in which it was STRAPPED. They
even imply that it might have slipped
on purpose because the Healanis got
the best start.
Captain Johnson stated this morning
that the rest in which his foot rested
broke and that while it was not i'm
possible for him to continue the race
1t would force him to work under a
disadvantage of which there was no
necessity He stated further that
the accident was fully and satisfac-
torily explained to the judges at the
time.

THREE MEN

Governor Carter a couple of days
ngn took up the matter of appointing
Board of Veterinary Examiners, IN ac-
cordance with an act of the legislature,
providing for such a board, to consist
of three members. On looking into the
proposition the executive found that
there were three Vets here eligible, and
it is believed that they will be duly APP
pointed. If one of them declines to
serve, the governor may have to adj
vertise for one
Dr. Monsarrat, DR.. Norgaard and DR..
Rowart are the three citizen veteri-
nary surgeons here. Under the act Of
the legislature the board is to exam
inc all applicants for licenses to prac-
tice, and no one is to practice until
passed by the Board. According to the
directory, the only other veterinary in
the Territory is DR. Tanaka, a Japan
csc, so the other three, as soon as they
become a Board, can pass him, or re-
ject him, and adjourn for year or so.

was my prisoner, that we had been
between the lines for two days, and
had had peck of trouble, and stated
the substance of our protocol I saw
that he doubted the story. and asked
him to send us to Gen Nelson, who,
knew, was in chief command / told
him that /, Dan r. Anderson, of the
First Kentucky, came direct from
Buells army and that my prisoner,
John Folsom, came direct from Braggs
army, and we might have news for
Gen. Nelson.
This struck the officer fayorably,
as he said there was such mix-up in
front that they didn't know where
either army was. But he added:
Great Caesar, you don't know Nelson.'
There is where he missed it, for had
through the Nashville, Shiloh, Corinth
and McMinnville campaigns, and had
had personal interview with Nelson
not many weeks before, in which he
had expressed his views with remark
able precision and emphasis.

ing rage, as usual. He wanted to do
all the talking, until l remarked that
l came from his old Fourth division.
Thereupon his whole manner changed.
He asked eagerly after every brigade
and regiment, asked how we had Jared
on the march, said he had wished we
were with him thousand times. Then
he asked scores of questions as to the
condition of Buell's army. When I
said the boys were full of fight, but a
little shy on rations, he said: God

I'm short, l and my prisoner gave

at once to mount it on the observatory
grounds at Cambridge.
Most large telescopes are supported
by a pedestal or foundation pier of
cast-iron, cement, or masonry firmly
built upon the ground, but this tele-
scope is held in position by big hol-
low cylinder that floats in a tank OF
water
In the first place deep excavation
was made on the spot where the tele-
scope was to stand and a tank was
constructed with thick walls of solid
concrete Is feet deep at the farther
end and 81 feet long, the bottom of
which slopes upward from the deep
end at an angle of about As degrees
to the surface of the ground.
In this tank the water-tight steel
float or cylinder, which is Is feet long
and seven feet, eight inches in diam
eter, is ballasted at the some angle as
the bottom of the tank, the buoyancy
of the water supporting it's weight,
and delicate pivots at each end sew
ing to steady it in position. Above
this, and securely fastened to it by
q strong iron fork and bolts, is the
great tube of the telescope
The Common telescope is a reflec-
Tor, ana us great mirror, nVG ISGI
in diameter, is placed at the lower
end of the tube, so that the light
from any star that is to be exam
ined reaches it by passing down the
length of the tube. Then other small
er mirrors placed along the tube
above reflect this light back again up
the tube to the sseye-piece" or smaller
tube which passes through the wall
of the observing room to the observer.
The end of this eye-piece through
which the observer looks is closed by
powerful magnifying lens, so that
the image of the star, which appears
as very small point on the mirror,
is little enlarged.
This great telescope is to be used
chiefly for what is called photometric
| work, that is, measuring the light of
who is the director of Harvard College
| observatory, has spent good many
years in this work, and he intends to
| devote the rest of his life to it.
| There is one other interesting fact
to tell about the Common telescope,
| and that is, that it has been mounted
in the open air, without any dome or
shelter over it to protect it from
] storms. This is an experiment, to be
| sure, but it is expected that it will be
very successful one. The telescope
is not yet quite ready to be put into

| say, but before next autumn comes it

HARVARD TO HAVE LARGEST
TELESCOPE IN WORLD
Instrument with Rejecting Lens Five
Full Feet in Diameter Being In
stalled in Observatory
at Cambridge.

The biggest telescope in the world
will soon be searching the heavens for
the instruction and benefit of the stu
dents of Harvard university. A few
years ago when the Yerkes telescope
was installed by the University of Chi
cago it's 40-inch lens was hera1ded as
the biggest thing in telescopes in ac-
tive use in the world But now the
Common telescope has stepped into
first place.
The largest telescope ever construct
ed was a six-foot instrument made by
