DRIVING ACCIDENTS
ON GARDEN ISLANDS

The Garden Island reports two buggy
accidents on Kauai to well-known per-
sons last week. On Sunday Mrs. c. A.
Rice suffered a painful accident when
going to church. At the foot of the
hill leading down to the mill the horse
suddenly swerved to the right, evil
IDENTIFY with the intention of taking
the Isenberg road. Just at this place
there is quite an incline from the
macadam to the side road. and by the
sudden, unexpected turn the horse up
set the buggy, throwing Mrs Rice
heavily to the ground. She suffered
severe sprain of the wrist and arm
and several painful bruises. Her lit
tie daughter, who was in the buggy
with her. escaped with a few scratches.
The carriage got both the wheels
smashed. Judge Hardy, who happened
along soon after the accident took
place, picked up the sufferers.
County Attorney Kaeo was another
resident who met with an accident
while out driving On Wednesday he
started out for Kanaa and was jog
ging alone in his sulky deep in thought
the animal suddenly took fright at
some object or other. This came so
unexpectedly to Mr.. Xaeo, especially
from such a horse, that the sudden
motion sent him backwards out of the
sulky. He struck the ground on his
face, and the result was a cut above
the temple, another in the cheek, and
great big cash in the lower jaw.

EDUCATORS HOLD

The shortest session of the Board Of
Education for months was that held
yesterday, attended by w. Williamson,
chairman; J. ]. Garden, S. NJ. Kanaka-
nui, C. j. Hutchins and Inspector Cox.
The business was put through in less
than fifteen minutes.
An application for a life certificate
was read from D. Kapohakimohewa,

1898. The request was granted.
Mr.. Hutchins, for the Teachers COM
mittee, reported that the resignation
of Miss Carlotta Stewart of the Normal
school, had been accepted and Miss
Florence Winter appointed in her stead.

found in the records, whereupon the
Board established a precedent of its
own and by vote declared Friday next
4 holiday in all the public schools.
Mr.. Hutchins reported that Miss

THE ASIA ARRIVES.

The Pacific Mail steamship Asia,
Captain Gaukroger. arrived in port at
o'clock yesterday afternoon, six days
from San Francisco, after a very
pleasant trip. She carries a fair
amount of freight and has nineteen
cabin passengers. Only one of these
is to stop over here, Mr. w. A. de
Haviland. Among the through pas
sengers are Mr.. o. H. p Noyes. tea
merchant, who is going to Yokohama.

The local library furnishes a fine
field for the observer of human ma
ture, and there is not a day or a
night when ten minutes spent in the
reading room will not furnish its re-
ward to the observer of reading man,
or woman, too, for that matter.
Early in the morning comes the stu
dent with his pencil and pad. He
will take a classical work from the
reference department and will pore
over it for hours at a time. Or he
may copy extracts from it, and there
be some who go on writing all day
nor pause at all for food or rest, even
when the noontide whistle warns the
town that the time for a brief sur
cease from toll and labor has ar
rived.
Some of these bookworms study
works of science, others guides to the
gifts of tongues, and some there are
whose quest is the lore of ancient
Greece and the ways and customs of
imperial Rome.
Presently the morning paper arrives.
There are usually two or three per-
sons waiting for first glance at the
sheet and there is no small competi-
ton for first possession.
To have the library's morning paper
is to hold the same, and Il is a curious
fact that the man who first gets
his hands on the newspaper appears to
read it thoroughly and as if to win a
wager that he will leave nothing I'M
az A
least that is how it always looks to
the others who are impatiently wait
ing their turn.
After breakfast the tourists, with
time heavy on their hands, drop in
for a quiet hour. The Britisher seeks
his Punch or London Times, the CO.
lonial his pink-covered Auckland
Weekly News, and each one far from
home gravitates to his home sheet,
even as water runs downhill.
At noon the loafers of the town are
to be found in the reading room. They
come to escape from the burden and
heat of the day, and, seated in front
of a magazine which they make much
pretext of reading, enjoy a luxurious
siesta in the cool room.
Night sees the workingman in the
reading room. He has been busy all
day and this is his only time to read. |
With red shining face and dressed in
his second best suit of clothes, he !
spends the evening. The illustrated
weeklies are his favorite. And that
he doesn't read entirely for pleasure |
is attested by the fact that every now |
and again he pays a visit to the great |
reference atlas and after much effort
generally manages to locate, say, the
Blight of Benin or Magdalena Bay.
At ten o'clock the lights are put out |
and student, loafer and entertain
go their several ways.
The realm of books will remain I'M
tenanted until opening time comes
round again, save, perchance, for the
shades of those about whom books
have been written, and of those who
wrote them.

Joe Cans easy victory over Spike
Robson, the shifty English light
weight, shows how far he outclasses
the majority of the present-day light
weights. The champion met the Briton
in a six-round bout before Jack Nc
Guigen's club in Philadelphia and
merely toyed with him IN three
rounds In the initial round he feint-
ed and jabbed in an effort to get a
line on the Englishman's style and in
the second round went after him hard.
II the third round he smashed Rob-
son on the mouth and loosened a
couple of teeth, sending him to the
mat, where the Briton tried to linger.
but the referee made him get up. He
hung on to the ropes for few Sec
onds and then staggered to the center
of the ring, ere he was met with
another crack On the jaw, which set
tied his hash.
