Rrooklyn,s "spite Church.

church was further down the street,
on Lenox road, and did not come with
in the prescribed radius, so no objec-
ton could be made to Hesterberg's sa-
loon on this ground. So, to forestall
Mr.. Hesterberg, it was decided to
build a church on narrow little plot
which would bring the saloon within
200 feet and thus prevent its open
ing.
! The church was duly built. 1t was
complete in every detail, but was
joke as to size, being merely minia-
ture. 1t is about 15 feet wide and
about twice as long. When packed to
it's capacity it will hold about SO
souls. But it was church. 1t had
a steeple, Gothic windows, and all the
usual details. Hence when Mr.. He's
terberg tried to open his saloon the
matter was carried into court, but to
the chagrin of the church members,
the Supreme court, Justice Gaynor
presiding, held that the miniature re-
ligious structure was church &C.
cording to the letter of the law, but
not according to it's spirit, and that
as regular church services were not
and could not be held therein, it was
a piece of spite, and not church in
fact at all.
So the Hesterberg saloon opened in
triumph and the little church became
known as the spite church." and as
such often has been pointed out. The
Park Side church is now Presbyterian,
and sometimes uses the little church
as an annex for Bible and Sunday
school classes, but it is not regularly
needed, and Lenox road as a whole
will be glad to see it go.

A Cleveland scientist announces
with the air of making a great discov
cry, that there is an advantage in be-
ing tall because tho tall mans head is
higher above the germs of the street
This is neither a new nor an original
idea, says Indianapolis Star. Long
ago when "feyer'n ager" was prevalent
in the valley of the classic Wabash
the extreme tallness of the natives of
the region was accounted for as being
a provision of nature to lift their
breathing apparatus safely above the
miasmatic emanations Of the soil.

TO ENTERTAIN
THE VISITORS
BELATED CONGRESSMEN WILL
NOT BE RLOOKED-PRO.
GRAM TO BE ARRANGED.

Acting Governor Atkinson, Delegate
Kuhio and George B. Mcclellan, pri-
vate secretary to the Delegate, have
had a number of conferences relative
to the best method of entertaining the
Congressman who are expected to ar
rive here June 2S.
1t was decided that no set program
would be arranged in advance. The
local people will await the arrival of
the party and confer with them and
suggest the places of interest to visit
and arrange the itinerary according
to the wishes of the party.
Kahului and Hilo breakwaters are
the particular places outside of this
island, that it is desired the visitors
should visit, but beyond those places,
they will not be specially urged to
make any trips. If they express a
wish to make other trips from Oahu
such trips will be made. The party
will be the guests of the local people
as was the other party Of Congress
men.
Naturally places of interest about
Oahu will be visited, including Pearl
Harbor. The Honolulu Iron Works
may also receive a visit 1t has been
thought best not to ask the people ol
the outside communities, to defray the
expenses Of entertainment but to await
the wishes of the visitors.
Secretary Wood of the Promotion
Committee has been notified of this
decision and been asked to call the 10
cal entertainment committee together
to- arrange details of entertainment.

SCHOOL House
FOR KAPAA
CONTRACT AWARDED FOR S11, ,66S
TO A. EvENsON-CONTRACT
HELD UP FOR MONTHS.

Kapaa will get her school house.
Superintendent of Public Works Hol-
loway today awarded the contract to
construct this school to A. Evenson.
The bid was $11,66S. This is a con-
tract that was held up for some
months.
Under the old loan fund an item for
the construction of this school was in
cluded. When the new loan bill was
passed it carried with it total OF
$134,OOO including $4,000 for an agri-
cultural college. There was also a
new item of $1,000 for the construc-
tion of wharves and landings on Ka-
uai The Governor vetoed this item.
Later it was agreed that if the veto
was sustained Kauai would get the
Kapaa school house.
The veto was sustained and now Su-
perintendent Holloway has been figur-
ing how he can give the new school to
Kapaa. He has figured that he will
have within about $500 Of the money
necessary to construct the new school,
so the contract has been awarded,

FROM SEA
U. S. A. TRANSPORT THOMAS
SENDS WIRELESS TODAY TO
ANNOUNCE HER APPROACH.

There came a call to the wireless
station of the United states naval sta
ton this morning from the U. S. Army
transport Thomas, due here today from
San Francisco with several members
of Congress, the entire Twenty-sixth
regiment and two battalions of the
Tenth cavalry. The Thomas sailed
from the coast on June s.
This is the first time that a trans
port has announced her approach by
wireless. The message was clear as
far as the name of the vessel was
concerned, but the operator here could
not catch the position of the Thomas,
All army transports are soon to be
equipped with wireless apparatus.
A second wireless message was re-
ceived from the Thomas at 1890
o'clock this afternoon. She stated that
she would be here at 8 p. m. and has
209 sacks of mail aboard.

Congressman Nicholas Longworth, son
in law of President Roosevelt, who will
be in Honolulu sometime during the
summer, if press dispatches are to be
relied upon. OF course according to
the Organic Act a nonresident of the
Territory is not eligible to the position,
but that doesn't phase the promoters
of the story, who explain that the
husband of the presidents daughter

then cinch the job.

TWO TAX
DECISIONS
ASSESSOR SUPPORTED BY THE
COURT-OAHU RAILWAY COM
PROMISES IN THEIR SUIT.

Two decisions were given by the
Tax Appeal Court this afternoon. They
were not of any general Importance,
however, except to the parties imme-
diately concerned. In both instances
the decisions slightly reduced the in
creases in assessments made by Tax
Assessor Holt, but left the amounts at
very close to his figures, SO that the
net result is a victory for Holt. These
were the first decisions rendered by
the Tax Appeal Court.
The first decision was on the appeal
of Henry e. Cooper on two pieces of
property at Eva. One was Block 43
returned by him at 5000 and raised by
the Assessor to $3.50, and the other
piece of land at Eva returned by
Cooper at $4,000 and increased by the
Assessor at $4,000. In the first case
the increase by the Assessor was sus-
tanned and in the second case the court
placed the valuation at $4,000, only $500
less than the Increase made by Holt.
The other decision was given on the
appeal taken by e. B. Thomas. He
had leased land on King street be-
tween Nuuanu and Bethel owned joint
ly by the j. w. Austin Estate and the
Bishop Museum. The return on the
land was made at $3.50 each, but the
Assessor raised it to $500 each. The
court holds that the joint interests
should be assessed at a total of 11,S40
The Oahu Railway & Land Co has
compromised in the matter of its as
sessment of Al acres of tide lands
near it's wharves in Honolulu. The
company has agreed to pay taxes on
the basis of $4,000. 1T had made nc
return for the land before.
