This does not seem right to me. While
doubtless can afford to contribute to
pay for Mrs. Morgans paving for the
sake OF getting this mud hole out of
the way. I apprehend there are many
in the city who do not view 1t in that

doing SO.
Appellant Loses on All Sides.
"Judge Bradshaw holds in his writ
ten opinion that the city had right
to make this contract; that the con-
tract was fully complied with; that
the work was well done: that there
was no graft or fraud connected with
the matter; that the city council had
a right to accept the, work and We're
bound to do so: that the city council
proceeded properly TO ascertain the
benefits; that if it was permissible to
assess for improvements anywhere
within the compass of special benefits,
the assessment would go undisturhed'
That the court is satisfied from the
evidence that the council undertook to
follow the law according to the light
they had upon it and to the best of
their ability In short, the court de-
cides against Mrs. Morgan on every
point raised by her-yet for some rea-

Injured at Shoe Factory Yesterday
Afternoon on the First Floor
While Working at
Machine.
TWO FINGERS MASHED
Presence of Mind Saved Him From
More Serious Injury and Am
putaton Will Not be
Necessary.

Charles Burt, foreman of the first
floor at the shoe factory met with
quite painful accident yesterday af-
ternoon at about o'clock while at
work at the factory, when his hand
was caught in machine and badly
mashed. He went to ST. Joseph's
hospital this morning for the purpose
of having the injured hand treated. 1t
was found this morning that it would
not be necessary to amputate any of
the fingers although the third and
fourth fingers of the left hand are
badly mashed
According to Mr. Erhardt this morn
ing. it was only the great presence of
mind of Burt that the injury was not
more severe. At the time he was pass
ing leather through the -skiving ma
chine, machine used to cut the leath-
err into uniform thickness. 1t con-
sists of roller and knife. AS he
passed the leather through the ma
chine under the roller, the end Of the
leather which went through first,
doubled back and caught his hand.
Before he noticed it his hand was un-
der the roller, but with an instant
thought he shut off the power with his
right hand and then turned wheel at
the right which reversed the roller and
removed it from his hand. His hand
had not passed far enough under to
come In contact with the knife.
A doctor was summoned to the shoe
factory and the injured member treat

A MANILA CLOTHES-LlNE
NEARLY ABDUCTS A HOUSE

A green, untamed manila clothes
line nearly pulled house over yes
terday.
Yes, that's exactly what is meant.
1t happened at Kaimuki, where a
citizen has recently erected a 14x14
house, constructed Of secondhand
tongue and groove lumber by Japanese
labor.
The man of the house, wishing 70
economic and at the same time to
furnish his wife with some healthful
exercise, told his better half that he
would allow her to do the washing for
a spell, and in furtherance of his pro-
gram purchased a couple of stout ma
Mia clothes-lines, which he fastened
at one end to his house and at the
other to the fence of a neighbor's
yard.
On Saturday night his wife woke
him up and called his attention to the
fact that there was hole in the side
of the house through which the rain
was beating in. He said that he'd at
tend to it in the morning. and went
to sleep again.
A little later he was awakened by
rain in his face, and was startled to

notice that the former tiny crack in
the boards had increased to a couple
of inches in width and seemed to be
getting wider all the time.
Fearing subsistence of the founda-
tion of the house, he jumped out Of
bed and went out into the rain with
a lantern to investigate.
For some time he was at a loss to
understand what had happened. There
before his very eyes the side of the
house was bulging out and describing
a parabola.
Then the sad truth Of the matter
dawned on him. The clothes-line,
drenched by the rain. had shrunk. and
something had to give, and it had not
been the staunch manila ropes which
had remained true to the trust re-
posed in them.
With consummate PRESENCE OF mind
the man seized a X ife and with one
slash severed the faithful ropes. the
side Of the house resuming its normal
position with a sigh as soon as the
cruel steel had parted the strands.
A few welI-diTected blows with a
sledge-hammer made everything tight
and the man returned TO bed TO re-
sumo his disturbed repose.
In future the owner Of the house
will use wire clothes-lines and viii see
to it that they are thoroughly shrunk
before they are made fast.

A new process or extracting the wax

has recently been discovered by two
Hawaiian honey men and an applica-
ton for a patent on the process is now
on its way to Washington. The new
process in its tests has worked so very

into the secret are astonished that
something SO simple and apparently
SO obvious has not been in use here
tofore. That it has not, however, is
evident from the fact that DR. Phillips,
the visiting bee expert now in the is
lands. has declared the process new
and important discovery in the inter
est of apiarists.

Mr.. Wadman, spoke briefly but to the
point, stating clearly the position upon
which he has. taken his stand. He
said:
'sThe rising tide OF temperance has
already commenced to beat on the
shores of Hawaii.
"We have all read that sthe liquor
traffic is prohibited by law in half of
the area of the great United States
containing more than a third of the
population. Another interesting devel-
Opment is the fact that the governors
of no fewer than thirty+seven states
within recent months have attacked
the saloon or endorsed prohibition, and
do not be surprised if our worthy and
able governor does the same thing at
no distant date.
While there are numberless things
to be done for the public good-every
citizen has his limitations-the wise
man picks upon what he considers the
best effort TO be made.
81 am not temperance bowler nor
a preacher, yet there is good deal of
truth in the saying that he can preach
the better who hasn't practised.
tThe most moving of all temperance
sermons, though, do not come through
the mails or the sehooirooms, nor yet
from the pulpit nor from the lecture
platform. They are driven in, in brutal
ly blunt terms, by the conditions which
confront every man who has living
to earn. 1t is becoming increasingly
difficult for a drinking man to find en-
ployment. In many ways prohibition
is brought home to the pocket nerve.
Industry no longer tolerates intem-
peranee. The man who drinks habitual-
ly and excessively can nowhere find en-
ployment. No railroad company, no
establishment, no mer-
camille house. careful in its relations
