REMEDY FOR TORN MATING.
Darn with coIors of Raffia to Match
Straw.

Often in moving heavy piece OF
furniture the mating on the floor will
have an ugly hole torn in it, The torn
place is usually where it is the most
noticeable and cannot be covered with
a rug. There is an excellent way to
remedy this defect by darning the
place with raffia of colors to match the
mating straw. IL is much better than
threads and the work can be neatly
done. 1t may be necessary to run
heavy cords across the work through
which the raffia is to be woven. The
threads are sewed in place with large
darning needle. Torn places on the
edge of mating can be remedied in
the same manner. 1t is best to sew
mating together with a loose stitch
using very heavy linen thread for the
purpose, but where this cannot be
done then use the regular mating
tacks or ordinary tacks, placing first
one side, then the opposite side to pre-
vent the baggy appearance which SO
often occurs. Never use a claw ham
mer to lift tacks from mating, since it
invariably breaks the straw. Get an
Old blunt chisel, place it beneath the
mating and tack head, pound gently
with the hammer and pry the tack up.
This will draw the tack out straight
and leave the mating unbroken. II
mating is used in a room during the
winter, cover the floor with paper COW
ering and pad lightly with newspapers.
The cold air cannot penetrate floor
covering of that kind.

GRAND TRUNK ANNOUNCES DE.
TAILS OF GENEROUS PENSION
FUND FOR EMPLOYEES.

A splendid Christmas box was
handed out to it's men yesterday by the
Grand Trunk, in the shape of an
nouncement of the details of its new
pension system, which is of a most
generous nature. The pension fund
will be entirely contributed by the
company, the men not being assessed
one cent for its maintenance or adj
ministration. 1t will affect every mem
Der of the staff from Charles NJ. Hays
down to the hunblest section man,
while provision is also made for men
incapacitated by accident or otherwise,
OF even men discharged without cause,
and otherwise eligible under the pen
sion rules.
The establishment of this pension
system was approved at the last an
nual meeting of the shareholders
when the handsome sum of $2O0,O0O
was voted as a nucleus. In addition to
the income from this sum, however,
il is estimated that the company Will
have to supplement this by a large
sum, Varying from $4,000 to $4,000 q
year. The rules of the Grand Trunk
pension fund will apply from the high
est to the lowest OF the staff from the
general manager himself down 10 the
humbest section man or Satekeeper.
They require absolutely the retire

SHIPMENTS TO GUAM.

WASHINGTON, Dec. u. When
Quartermaster General Aleshire was
before the Committee on Military At
fairs today, Congressman Kahn re-
ferred to the difficulty experienced by
the people of Guam in communicating
with the mainland and in getting sup
plies on account of the lack of steam
ship lines. General Aleshire said that
he would offer relief to this extent
that if there should be goods at San
Francisco awaiting shipment to Guam
he would allow them to be taken on
transports whenever there might be
room available for such freight.
General Aleshire made an appeal to
the committee for a recommendation
that $3C0,OOO be appropriated for re-
pairs to transports, and his appeal
seemed to be received favorably.

According to the Nippu Jiji yester-

gard to the wage question, asking him
to set a time and place for an inter

The commission paid to Japanese
hotelkeepers by the Oceanic, Pacific

local agents, for giving passenger bust
ness to the companies has been dis
continued.
The companies have hitherto paid
the hotelkeepers So head for every
man or woman furnished for passage,
a custom prevailing for the past ten
years. AS there is little travelling now
among japanese between Honolulu end
Japan, and the tramp steamers are no
longer competitors in the business, the
companies have notified the hotel
keepers that they will no longer pay
the commission.
These commissions were turned over
by the hotelkeepers to a fund which
was used for charitable purposes, help

many ways to relieve the necessities

SUPREME COURT
DECIDES FOR FERN
Refuses a Recount Because No
Basis for 1t Has Been
Shown.

By the decision of the Supreme
Court rendered yesterday morning,
Joseph J. Ferns title to the Office of
Mayor of the City and County of Ho-
nolulu is made unquestioned.
The court, by Chief Justice Hart
well and Justice Wilder, dismissed the
petition asking for recount, holding
that the conditions imposed by the
statute had not been complied with
and that the petitioners were not en-
titled to recount.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing, argument on the three questions
of law first submitted by the court
was proceeded with, and also argu-
ment on another question of law sub
mitted by Justice Wilder just before
the close Of court the day before, but
not at that time argued. In the end,
this question proved to be the one on
which the case hinged. This was
whether under the law there must be
thirty petitioners having knowledge
of Irregularities in any one particular
precinct, in order to join in petit
tion. In the case at bar, some had
heard of Irregularities in one precinct
and some of Irregularities in another.
But no thirty of them had even the
seanty and secondhand information,
disclosed in their examination, of ir-
regularities in any one precinct.
After the conclusion of the argu-
ment, at about 1880, Chief Justice
Hartwell rendered the decision of the
court and dismissed the petition.
The decision in full, as well as the
dissenting opinion of Jugde De Bolt,
is given on another page.

MILL TO GRIND
ALCAROBA
BEANS
Local Invention Has a
Tryout With Success
Yesterday.

The problem of how to nacerate al
garoba beans-the seeds and mueilagin-
Gus covering-in such a manner that
the minced residue is thoroughly mixed
and fodder of extreme value to horses
and mules, has been solved by G. w.
Renea1 of this city, it is believed.
In less than six weeks Mr.. Renear
has created macerator model which
has capacity of between three and
four tons per day. The model was on
exhibition yesterday before DR.. VIII
cox, director of the United States Ex-
pertinent Station; Prof. Krauss, also of
the Experiment Station; representa-.
tives of the press and others. The
machine, while small, is quite powerful
and its rollers capable of reducing the
algaroba beans in the twinkling of an
eye.
Applications for patent claims num-
bering seven in all are already en- route
to Washington, and Mr.. Renear be-
lieves that he will have no difficulty
in getting the patent on this machine,
anu dlSU uPuu a anu III W
be attached to the mill. The dryer will
be unique and will be quite original.
The macerator model shows two roll
er drums, grooved vertically and notch
ed at close intervals. They revolve
toward each other and the feeding hop
per resembles on ore crusher. A metal
plate attached to the frame on which
the rollers rest, with notched edge,
fits under the roller and this serves
to keep the drum grooves clean of the
mucilaginous coating coming from the
beans. The crushed and chopped resi-
due falls beneath the machine and
when first examined, is of course quite
sticky, but exposure to the air soon
dries it. The seeds which are opened
and maeerated in the rollers give out
an oil which spreads through the stuff.
In order that the material may be
thoroughly dried soon after leaving the
machine Mr.. Renear is working on a
dryer which viii receive much of the
waste heat of the mill.
Prof. Krauss pronounces the algaroba
fodder, as it is produced by the Renear
patent, to be fodder of great value
for horses. DR.. Wilcox was quite in
terested in the successful working of
the model and on examining the macer-
