that no Indictment was found against
the pair.
Happy as lark, gay as bird, etc,
the Governor will depart this afternoon
for the mainland. 1 wonder why he
will be so happy. Will it be because
he is going to throw the hammer at
anybody in particular? The other day
an ominous looking letter addressed
president, White House, Washington,
d. c., PERSONAL" was mailed in time
to catch the Nippon Maru. Possibly
the Governor wrote to Teddy, to ac-
quaint him with the fact that he would

That spiel the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce made in it's boom letter to
our Chamber of Commerce about AS
toria being so situated that freight
comes down hill to it, reminds me of
remark 1 once heard the late r. G. In
gersoll make 1t was in proceeding To
foreclose a mortgage on railroad and
have it sold for the benefit of the
bond holders 1t was in the United
States Circuit Court in Chicago before
Judge Gresham. Ingersoll represented

stockholders were opposing foreclosure
and seeking an opportunity to continue
the operation of the railroad in the
5 hope of paying the bonds. Their at
t torney was arguing to show that the
: situation was very hopeful for reor-

, you couldn't make that railroad
pay if it ran down hill both ways" was
Ingersolrs reply.

darby was convicted of f1ourishing a

tie oddities, just the same as have per-
y, sons, and the more one travels about
the world, the more he comes to look
for and notice them. AS a usual
=, thing these peculiarities, if one takes
the trouble to trace their origin, are
only the carrying out of some one mans
personal idiosyncracies. Honolulu isn't
an exception to this rule-in fact from
her situation with reference to the rest
of the world, and her cosmopolitan po-
pulation she probably has more than
the average hobbies for a city of her

that the street car company refused to
l. recognize the rights of smokers to in
dulge their pernicious habit in any
part of their cars, I supposed that it
l. was but a reflection of public senti-
e: ment against King Nicotine, and that
G. the smoker was to some extent at least
ID under the social ban. Then I spent
a. an evening at a. IHedlFe WHICH was

t. surprised to see that nearly every other
