CARNIVAL SEATS
ARE NOW ON SALE

The advance sale of seats for the
first night of the HealaniMy
Water Carnival opened at the Baths
yesterday and the seats are going with
rush. There is going to be a pack
ed house to see the two boat clubs
fight it out on Saturday evening. In
the states one hears of the remarkable
swimmers in Hawaii The Hawaiians
have worldwide reputation for their
ability in the water, yet up to the
year 1905 swimming did not occupy
any great prominence in Hawaii s
sports. Although the natives loved the
water and were fine swimmers they did
not go in for fast swimming and diving.
Dan Renear was the first real fast
swimmer to race here. In 1905 Jess
Woods thought of the scheme of pull
ing off a Water Carnival and interest
ed the two boat clubs. They held a
very successful meet at the naval slips
and swimming took boost and is now
in this country. Ernest Kopke in
troduced the crawl stroke and now
every swimmer here uses this latest
method of rushing through the water.
The coming meet will be the most
important as well as the most inter
esting aquatic carnival ever held here.
The affair will take place in the new
baths where every move that is made
by the swimmers or divers can be
plainly seen.
The program arranged will be ex-
citing, interesting and amusing. OF
course there will be the usual funny
stunts to laugh at.
Anyone who is looking for good
night IS entertainment will find it by
purchasing a ticket for this carnival.
The money goes to the two clubs and
it will be used for good purpose.
Reserved seats are $100 each.

BOAT BOYS VS..
MANNING CREW

Arrangements have been completed
for race between crews from the
Manning and the boat boys at the land
ing to take place next Saturday after
noon at CLOCK The Manning crew
will be Mathinussen, coxwain, Jensen,
Harkaanson, Ryon, Ralson and Jackov-
LESS. Those who will pull in the boat
boys barge are Joe Kane, coxwain,
Tom Mahuka, Hoopu, Kakae, Ben Pur
dy and H. Mahuka. The usual course
will be followed and the race promises
to be a good one as it will be for
blood, not money. In the old days the
boat boys used to be successful In
their races with the man-o 'warsmen.
For years the Hanakeoki was a favor
tie boat and was often loaned to the
British crews when they entered
against the Z. S. sailors for a barge
race The boat boys of to day are
pretty good oarsmen and the race on
Saturday win no doubt be genuine
trial of strength.

REMARKS OF FREAR, c. j.

.sOf course the Attorney General
would have no right, as right, TO be
heard on this question as to the pro-
priety of extending the injunction for
the purposes of an appeal. For IN
stance if a writ Of error or an appeal
were presented to me in the usual
course for allowance, it would be en-
tireIy within my discretion whether to
call upon the other side as to whether
an appeal or writ of error would lie.
It would be entirely within my dlscre-
ton and it is the usual practise to pass
on questions of the allowance of an
appeal or writ of error ex parte and
perhaps the same would be true In re-
gard to the insertion of what might
be called a temporary or restraining or
der in this decree by the court for
temporary purpose, at least pending the
presentation of the writ of error or
appeal for allowance by the Chief Jus
tice. and therefore the court does not
care to hear the Attorney General upon
this question, at the present time, at
least.
1.-The statement made by the Attor-
new General that the exchange or tne
Lanai lands has been carried out pre-
sents a more serious question. Tnat
presents the question as to whether
this court should extend the Injunction
against doing something that mas al
ready been done-whether that would
not be futile and nonsensical. In view
of this particularly, the court does not
care to hear the Attorney General upon
the question whether an appeal or writ
of error would lie in this case. 1t
seems TO the court that the Attorney
General has forfeited his right to con-
sideration by the court, except SO far
as is absolutely necessary, by his con-
duct in this matter. He has taken the
position, as shown by the facts, that no
decree was necessary in this case and
he does not care for a decree. he was
the natural one, as the winning party,
to prepare a form of decree and pre-
sent if to the court and he has not
cared TO do so. He has chosen to act
l1pon the mere opinion or decision OF
the court without doing so. He ought
to have known better as a member OF
the bar and as the Attorney General of
the Territory, than to have done So
than to have advised the completion of
this act before the decree of the court
was entered His conduct was dfsre-
spectfuI to the court and presented a
bad example for the bar generally and
tends to lessen the regard of the COM
munity at large for the courts. He
may not technically have been guilty
of a contempt of court, though as to
that we express no opinion at the pres
emf time, but it bordered upon that,
and except so far as it is absolutely
necessary for him to be heard as a
matter of right the court does not care
to hear him.
1.-THE question now is as to whether
an Injunction may be extended where
an act to be enjoined has already been
and as to that we are ready
TO hear counsel for the complainant.
II do not know whether my asso-
cfates care to express their views upon
this

Not a slim of the Tonuue,

1t is dangerous to pretend to knowl-
edge one does not possess. A man Of
little education was once guest at a
dinner, during which a servant stun
bled so that q roast tongue fell from
the platter he was carrying. 1t was an
embarrassing moment, but the quick
witted host saved the day by remark
ing, Never mind, gentlemen, it's only
q 1apsus lingua.'" This caused much
laughter and applause, and instead Of
being spoiled the dinner was great
success. The boor, wishing to shine as
a wit himself, shortly afterward gave
q dinner, to which none OF those pres
ent at the first dinner were invited.
When the guests had been seated a
servant entered bearing a beef roast
Just before reaching the table he
stumbled and fell. The host, leaplng
to his feet, astonished the guests by
exclaiming, "Never mind, gentlemen,
it's only a 1apsus lingua.' kansas

"CUTICURA REMEDIES A

"Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physi-
clan for an obstinate case OF eczema,
/ resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so we'll pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
"In July Of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. So we have

An army of yellow jackets had dis

The CABBAGE Crop.

A considerable portion of the cab
bage crop is handled in bulk. When
forwarded by carload or shipload the
heads are cut from the stalks with
heavy knife or light Ratchet and all the
outer leaves left on. When prepared
for market they are dressed up by re-
moving the outer unbleached leaves.
Cabbages are often shipped In venti-
lated or slat barrels. Tight barrels
keep them too warm and may cause
rotting. BY far the best carrier for
shipping cabbage is the barrel size
crate. This carries the heads securely
packs In well on board train or boat
and shows the quality of the stuff
when arriving In market The heads
should be packed in the crates care
fully by hand. so that the carriers Will
not be- slack when received by the
wholesalers.--W. n. HUT.

FERTILIZER EXPERIENCE.
A Comparison Of Methods In Growing
Strawberry Crops.

The value of fertilizers in growing
The strawberry crop is recognized by
!he best growers. A good illustration
Of this effect and of the necessity for
applying the proper kinds Of fertilizers
was given this year in the Texas crop,
says writer in Farm and Ranch.
The kind of berry desired is one with
good size, color and flavor and suf-
ficiently firm to stand shipment To
produce this kind of berry it has
been found that complete fertilizer
Ia necessary and that it is particularly
essential to have good percentage OF
potash This element is the one which
gives the high color, rich flavor and
firm shipping quality.
Cottonseed Meal.
The truth of this was proved in the
south Texas crop this season. At one
important strawberry center the grow
ers fortified their fields very heavily
with cottonseed meal and very little
else besides In other words, they put
on heavy application of nitrogen and
very little potash and phosphorlc acid.
1t is we'll known that nitrogen alone
produces a large growth of vine with
soft berry of poor shipping quality.
This Is Just the effect observed on this
particular crop. Many of the berries
would not stand up long enough to
reach, the market They were soft and
soon went to pieces, causing much loss
to the shippers.
Good Berries For Shipping.
Just few miles away is another
locality where a large crop Of straw
berries is grown annually. This place
did not suffer seriously from soft ber-
ries, and why? The soil is similar and
the climate is the same. 1t was be-
cause the growers used their complete
fertilizer with the nitrogen to make
good growth of vine and then along
early in the winter they applied a few
hundred pounds Of potash and phos-
phate.
What do these elements do? They
push the plant into frultlng and make
a large crop of berries of fine color
and flavor with excellent shipping
quality. There is no trouble from
the fruit going to pieces on the way
to market. 1t has all the frmness
necessary to stand shipment

On Uneultivated Fields.
Foo EATING Hens.

Egg eating is one of the worst habits
that fowls can acquire, and it Is al
most impossible to break them of it
This habit is generally acquired during
the winter OF early spring and Is due
to close confinement and lack of some
thing else to do. Where fowls are KEEP
busy continuously this habit Is un-
known. All nests should be placed as
much in the dark as possible dnd
plenty of china nest eggs supplied.
