BALLENTYNE'S SNAP
GOES 4 GLIMMERING

c. G. Ballentyne's fine snap for the
Honolulu RAPID Transit & Land Co.
in his purchase of the Pacific Heights
railway property, has been finally wipea
out by the Supreme Court of the United
states.
This has happened on the appeal of
defendants from the Supreme Court of
Hawaii in the suit of w o. Smith,
trustee of the Pacific Heights Railway
COS bondholders, against Pacific
Heights Railway Co, Ltd, Honolulu
Raid Transit & Land Co, Ltd, C. G.
Ballentyne and c. S. Desky. The local
appellate court had affirmed the decree
of Judge Robinson setting aside the
sale for gross inaGequacy of price. In
it's opinion by Chief Justice Frear the
court stated that it had been claimed
that the property cost $4,000 exclusive
of the right of way only four years be-
fore the suit of foreclosure was brought.
1t was bonded for $4,000 The prop
erty was sold as a whole, with the ex-
ceptiOn Of a cable and a condenser, Mr..
Ballentyne being the successful bidder
for $1100. There was not a scintilla
of strategy on the part of the buyer m
the purchase. The sale was well adj
vert.sed and duly cried, with bell and
red flag accomplishments, yet there was
no advance on Mr.. Ballentyne's bid
and if anybody interested in the prop
erty was on the spot he stood mute.
Yet the local courts regarded the sale
as of the kind that shocks the cons
science for great disparity between
price and value.
Justice Brewer delivered the decision
of the Federal court, saying in effect
that, while they were dis'nclined to any
action which would impair confidence
in the stability of judicial sales, the
local courts had found good reasons for
their action and were competent to APP
preciate all the circumstances. Hence
it would not be right to reverse their
ruling and confirm the sale.
Owing to the necessity of promptly
marketing the machinery and materials
of the property to realize something
like their value, an agreement was
made between the two sides on the APP
peal to Washington whereby the VIM
ming one should receive full satisfaction
of judgment in cash.

It's Influence Has Been Felt By So
Many Honolulu Readers.

The soothing influence of relief
After suffering from Itching Piles,
From Eczema or any itchiness of the
skin,
Makes one feel grateful to the rem
edy.
Doan's Ointment has soothed hun
dreds.
Levi Johnston, shipbuilder in the en-
ploy Of the Hardy Ship Building Co.,
place of residence Bay View Hotel, COR
ner of 9Th and c Sts., Tacoma, Wash,
says: Itching hemorrhoids were the
plague of my life, for eighteen or TWEEN
ty years. I think they were first caus-
ed by strain while doing some heavy
lifting. Sometimes they burned and
itched SO that L could hardly stand it.
1 used almost everything I saw recon-
mended, but received little or no relief
/ went home last winter to visit my
folks, and while there learned about
Doans Ointment and got a box. To
my surprise, the first application gave
me so much relief that I felt as though
cured I gave my brother-in-law half
a box and the remedy worked equally
as we'll in his case. When 1 returned
to Tacoma I felt symptoms of a recur-
renee and procured a box of Doan's
Ointment and as on the former occa-
sion it gave instant relief. I keep a
box on hand all the time, and when
there are any symptoms of a return of
the annoyance I make an application
or two, and up to date 1 have never
appealed to the remedy in vain. /
wouldn't be without DOan's Ointment
for anything"
Doan's Ointment is splendid in all
diseases of the skin, eczema, piles,
hives, insect bites, sores, chilblains, etc.
It is perfectly safe and very effective.
Doan's Ointment is sold by all chem
lists and storekeepers at 50 cents per
box (sfx boxes $3.50 or will be mailed

BOSTON. Feb. 9.-Recent statistics

TS3Sz{1s

The prompt success Of the new United
States Trust Company has brought into
prominence several gentlemen whose
connection with the financial world OF
! Washington had not before been very
pronounced. Along other lines Of bust
ness their names had been thoroughly
well known and their success been such
as to assure any enterprise with which
they might connect themselves an al
most absolute certainty that il was
bound TO assume at once u high posi-
ton.
While giving due ana proper credit TO
the several gentlemen who first proposed
the formation OF the new company il is
due nevertheless TO the ability and fore
sight Of Rignald w Beau and his UNI
firing energy that the company was
brought into existence AID so quickly
took a leading place in the field Of
finance.
At time when money conditions were
not altogether favorable and the launch
ing Of a million dollar institution was
looked upon as a somewhat uncertain
issue he went boldly forward with his
plans ard the result testifes to the cora
rectness Of his conclusions that there
was still room FOR a new trust company
along the lines laid down. Mr. Beau
had already proved his mettle I'm the
Inauguration Of the Citizens Savings
Bank, Of which he was one of the orig
hal incorporators and this but spurred
him or to increased efforts in the larger
field Of a great trust company and its
enlarged opportunities.
Mr.. Beau is a Marylander by birth and
has al the suavlty OF manner for which
the people Of that famous old State are
noted He possesses also the positive
determination that has made the des-
cendants OF the old Cavaliers so much
a power in the land and vet carried
the mailed hand beneath the sflken
glove" Still a young man, he has ac-
comphshed much and the future gives
promise of even greater results
Hats off 10 RiEnald w Beau. one OF
Washington's coming fnancicrs. And
who IL may be also stated has rnodestlv
kept himself r. the background giving
to others the hoBors Of position and
power.
