BAD HARNESS.
coming in from the country Miss
Dawson said. There are men who ima-
gine that one collar will do for horse
of any size. They have never learned
that small collar on big horse
chokes him, and the reverse makes pull
ing hard work for the little horse, be-
sides the slipping collar calling him.
Each horse should have his own collar,
and no other. Badly fitting saddles, too
big or too little, are also common, and
on this question j simply point out
that it is cheaper to get a saddle that
fits, than to pay a SIS fine. This sort of
reasoning is always comprehended.

cruelty is to be dealt with:

AN EFFICIENT
HUMANE OFFICER

| The newcomer to Honolulu will see
now and then, tall, dignifed woman
neatly and .becomingly dressed, wear
ing a soft, grey hat with gold cord
twisted around the crown. Interest
ing and intelligent, occasionally she
stops as she goes her way, quietly and
unobtrusively, to inspect dropping
horse hitched to a cart. She looks at
the harness, at the vehicle, If it is
heavily loaded, and If she discovers a
CALLED spot on the back of the animal,
or the poor creature moves off with a
painful limp, she has a few quiet words
with the driver. These are SO softly
spoken that the passerby overhears no
part of the conversation. But the driver,
or owner, has not only heard but will
take heed.
The soft-spoken remontrant is Miss
Rose Dawson, who, last January, was
appointed humane officer, being the sec
ond woman to have held that Office in
Honolulu. 1t may be said that the ap-
pointment, as an efficient public meas
ure, has been an entire success. Pos
sessing natural love for animals which
inspires such a one to treat them with
kindness and consideration, Miss Davi-
son has also, to begin with, sound good
sense, great tact and judgment. She
also possesses so strong an apprecia-
tion of justice that she can consider
the rights both of the horse and of
the owner, when the latter must some
times drive an animal unfit for work,
because he can not afford better.
She does not arrest such an unfortunate
on sight, but gives both the man and
the horse a chance, and usually to the
betterment of both.
In conversation with Miss Dawson
concerning her duties, recently, repre-
sentative of the Advertiser asked:
"Do you And many cases of
cruelty2"

few of them premeditated cruelty The
animals that suffer most, of course, are

motive, prompts them to supply them
selves with as sound and good an animal
as they can get. l began my work,

time great many of them have bought

How about the Chinese?'
"The hackmen frequently give
gounds for complaint. But they, too,
claim that they are scarcely making a
living, and are not able to do any
better. The hack horses suffer most,

Unusual Actions of Inmates of

Sensational charges as to the con-
duct of patients at the sanitarium at
Pleasant avenue and Bridge street,
Boyle Heights, were made in the city
prosecutors office yesterday. No war
rant has been issued thus far, but it
IS probable one will be sworn out today.
According TO the statements of
neighbors the sanitarium houses a num-
ber of inmates who are insane Neigh
bors say these inmates frequently leave
the grounds and roam the streets,
frightening women and children.
The place is conducted by a Miss
Talbot. 1t is advertised as home
for those suffering from overwrought
nerves. 1t is said some of the inmates
are mistrcated, but so far no evidence
10 this effect has been gained.
According to the patrolmen in the
neighborhood there is a great deal of
truth in the statements that inmates
roam the streets and frighten children.
