THE ALAKEA SHED
BIDS ARE FUTILE

AS was predicted several days ago
in the Star, the bids opened yesterday
for the building of the shed on the
new Alakea street dock proved to be
higher than the $4,000 valuable for
the work. The lowest bid was that
of John Ouderkirk, in which he agreed
to do the entire work for the sum
of $4,000 or just about $4,000 more
than there is money on hand in the
appropriation of $4,000 made by the
last Legislature.
Under the Territorial law Ouderkirk
cannot be given the contract, for the
department cannot contract for a lar
ger amount of money than is avail
able. The bids made for the alter
nate work which excludes the sheet
and structural iron, the electrical,
plumbing and painting work, comes
within the appropriation, but cannot
be accepted, for the iron work must
be included. as well as part of the
painting and plumbing cannot be
erected.
The contractors of the city do not
like the proposition at all, for they
have now figured twice on the work
and their time and trouble has gone
for nothing. They say that it would
be a foolish thing to try to shorten
the building further by cutting off
some of the bays and that the only
thing that can be done is to wait for
the coming session of the Legislature
to appropriate more funds, when new
bids can be called for.
The bids made yesterday were as
follows:
John Ouderkirll, $40, 300 in 26O work
ing days; per bay $1,000.
Pringle, Dunn & Moscrip, $49,327 in
$50 days. per bay $1,000.
w. G. Chalmers, ,94S in 10 days;
per bay $1,000.
Henry Bertelmann, $4,000 in 24O
days; per bay $1,000. $4O,55O for alter
nate bid.
Fred Harrison, $56,749 in 294 days;
per bay $500. Alternate, 1877.
John Hughes, $5S,OOO no time given.
]. H. Craig, S5S,467 in 1870 days; per
bay S2100.
The bids for the plumbing, electri-
cal work, ETC., were as follows:
E. R. Bath, plumbing, $1149; Ha-
waiian Electric Co., electrical work,
1915; e. R. Bath, sheet metal work
1854; Cation & Neill, iron work,
$6170, 80 days; Honolulu Iron Works,
ironwork, $7457, 80 days; Stanley Ste
phenson, painting, $275O, 80 days; B.
Morris, painting, $2S97 100 days.

a merciless hammering. Flynn also
tackled AL Kaufman when the chance
presented itself, although Kaufman
outweighed and overshadowed him as
much as johnson did. Flynn shares
with Jack Twin" Sullivan and Tom
my Burns the distinction of having
knocked out Bill Squires of Australia.
Flynn is chock full of fighting spirit
and, despite his reverses at the hands
of the big men, he is always willing
to accept anything in the line of an
engagement that would give him a
chance to gain rung in the pugilis-
tic ladder. He is over at Shannon's
preparing himself for his contest with
Langford and he scouts the idea that
I.angford will defeat him.
Whenever met defeat it was when
| went up against men who outweigh
ed me from twenty-five to fifty
pounds" said Flynn. when I meet
Langford I will have the advantage
in weight, something which is entirely
new to me. He is a whirlwind fight
err, yes but l doubt if he can make
his fists fly any quicker or truer than
l can. ! never backed up yet in a
fight and l am not likely to do sc
when I have the better fthe weights
Without knowing anything about
Langford I'll bet he cannot stand
rough usage as well as I can and this
will be an affair in which rough usage
is bound to tell. 1t will give me quite
a boost to beat this fellow as the East
has gone crazy about him, and if
don't beat him I'll feel like tossing
the gloves aside for good"

kauai CONTEST
IS ESTABLISHED

The demurrer of the respondent in
the election contest case of Charles
Blake VS.. George Baker for the office
of county auditor of Kauai, was over
ruled by the Supreme Court yester-
day, Judge De Bolt dissenting from
the decision which Chief Justice
Hartwell and Justice Wilder handed
ness stand to state under oath the
manner in which he had heard of the
alleged frauds and the decision was
given, the respondent being given till
Friday to file an answer and the case
to follow the Lane VS.. Fern contest
In his dissenting opinion Judge De
Bolt said in part:
81 am unable to concur in the opin-
ion of the court. The petition under
the rules of pleading is fatally defec-
tive. 1t not only fails to comply with
our statute, but with pleadings in all
parts of the civilized world. 1 do not
think the case of Fernandez V. Adams
should be a precedent.
THE law presumes that every Off
Ger performs his duty, and so it seems
to me that before the act of any such
officer can be attacked, it must be
specifically alleged that he did not do
his duty in this case. Fraud is never
presumed. So that in the case at bar
every doubt should be resolved against
the pleader.
"The purpose of the contest is to
determine what has been the will of
the people. The presumption is that
the result as announced by the officers
of election is the will of the people
until facts are alleged that overthrow
this presumption"

SAN FRANCISCO, December s.
Promoter Sam Berger has received
word that Sam Langford, the famous
colored pugilist who is matched to box
Jim Flynn on December 18th, is on
his way here from Boston and will
arrive about Thursday. Langford is
accompanied by Jimmy Walsh, the
American bantam champion, and Ed
die Keevin, well-known Eastern
sports writer.
Langford, although a stranger to
San Francisco, has received a world
of advertising hereabouts. The East
ern critics think him the best negro
time. and they say further that Wal
colt at his best was not as sensational
ringman as Langford. The critics
referred to predict defeat for Stanley
| Ketchel if he ever steps into the ring
with Langford. and they seem to en-
terrain doubts as to Ketchers inten-
ton of signing up with hangford.
In selecting Flynn tog o against the
Boston wonder it is felt that Berger
could scarcely have found more suit
able man. Flynn is the stormy petrel
of the heavyweight crowd He is al
ways ready for trouble and he doesn't
care how big his opponent or how
great the reputation or the man he
has to face.
When Jack Johnson was complain
ing that no one would give him a
fight Lynn injected himself into the
breach. The Pueblo fireman looked
like a boy alongside the stalwart ne
gro, but he stood up bravely and took

WORKING the nRope rrlok.n

How the wonder worker" of India
performs his rope trick" is told by
correspondent who witnessed the feat
in a busy street of Surat in broad
daylight: 81 was writing in a room
overlooking this thoroughfare, on the
first floor of the house, when my
friend called to me. Stepping on to
the veranda l saw small group of
people gathered round a man and a
boy. The man threw a long rope
straight up in the air and the boy then
climbed up the rope, the lower end of
which was held by the man. Having
reached the top of the rope, the boy
balanced himself, in various postures,
on the point of the rope and then dis
appeared from sight. Afterward he APP
peared again on the ground and he
and the man quietly walked away.
The small group of people dispersed
and 1 went back to my writing"

Diamond saIesman,s Secrets.


There is no line in which more care
must be exercised than in selling dia-
monds," remarked one of the oldest
dealers in Cleveland. For instance,
we don't dare show a man a larger
stone than he can afford to buy.
Even a diamond a carat or a carat
and a half in size looks like a mighty
small affair to pay so much money for,
and if a man comes in expecting to
pay SIS for a diamond he may get dis
gusted and not buy at all if the sales
man shows him something a little
larger for 5000. The salesman, if he
knows his business, will find to GER
tainty just how much customer is
willing to pay before he shows him
anything.
Then it's better not to show a
colored stone, such as a ruby or an
emerald or a blush diamond in con
nection with other diamonds If you
show some customers a colored stone
and then put it away and show him &
good white diamond he will declare
that the diamond is off color. 1t does
not seem to be within so much as the
effect on the eyes of the colors in the
stones"

A Technical Exclamation.

1t is said that unless one can impart
information one does not really pos
sess it. The late Prof. Angelo Heilprin
used to tell a story, says the Washing
ton Star, illustrative of this point. The
professor himself had a most learned
and lucid mind. Not only could he
master a question; he could lay it so
clearly before you that you became
master of it, too.
Two commercial travellers on the
way from Reading to Philadelphia
once got into an argument over the
action of the. vacuum brake.
IT'S the imitation of the tube that
stops the train" declared the first
traveller.
Wrong, wrong!" shouted the sec
ond. It's the output of the exhaus-
ton
So they wrangled for an hour. Then,
when the train arrived in Philadelphia
they agreed to submit the matter for
settlement to the engineer. That gen
tleman, leaning condescendingly from
the window of his cab, listened with
an attentive frown to the two travel
ers' statement of their argument.
Then he smiled, shook his head and
said:
We'll, gents, ye're both wrong
about the workin of the vacuum brake.
Yet it's very simple and easy to I'M
derstand. When we want to stop the
train we just turn this ere tap, and
then we fill the pipe with vacuum"

FATHER OF YANKEES
PHRASE THAT FIFTY DESCRIBES
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
Difficult to Shape a Sentence That
Would Characterize Him More Per
fectly Than Remark Mad by
Thomas Carlyle.

II would be difficult to shape a SEN
tence which would characterize Frank
lin more perfectly than the remark
made by Thomas Carlyle when, look
ing upon a portrait of Franklin, he
said: There is the father OF all the
Yankees" If we use the word Yankee
to cover and suggest everything that
is practical, useful, ingenious, re-
sourceful, sagacious and wise, with
the one exception that the character
having these traits will never quite
attain to the highest and best the
word fairly describes Benjamin Frank
lin. He was a compendium of all the
defects, faults, abilities and successes
of the people of whom he was the
most conspicuous, famous and success
full representative at home and
abroad. Shakespeare might have
found in him a model of at least 20
different characters, each one excel
lent of its kind or most characteristic
of the class to which the type be-
longed. He could not have taken him
as his model for one who should set
forth in his own person the highest at
tainments of human nature with rec
ord unblemished by injurious excess
OF conspicuous defeat. He was man
of the earth earthly; one who warmed
both hands at the fire of life and en-
joyed through all his physical senses
whatever life had to give. He held
that pleasure greatly predominated in
the lives of man and proved it in his
own case by his hearty enjoyment OF
whatever was cheerful or capable OF
giving pleasure.
Beginning, as he did, an untaught
boy rude in manners and unac
quainted with those who had practiceC
the arts of the gentle life, but with al
eager appetite for learning, with un
bounded ambition and desire to MAKE
a place for himself in the world, it wa
inevitable that his first adventure
should be a mixture of good and il
fortune, of steady improvement
checked at times by wayward lapse
into indulgences which, because of hi
better training, his co-patriot Wash
ington escaped. Above this earthl
nature which was the wide and stron
foundation of his character, was an il
tellect second to none in his time o
the level over which it ranged. Tha
it never escaped into the realm c
spiritual life, where prophetic soul
are found, is evident in his works an
sayings. His was a great practic;
intellect, dealing at times, indeet
with religion and the highest interest
of the soul, but always in somewh;
prosaic and practical way. He owne
and deeply regretted the errors of h
early days, but at his best he cou
never have been described as a sain
and, yet from the beginning to Il
end he would not be properly describe
! at any time as vicious person H
' temptations and his lapses came
t the ordinary course of his life, becau
he eagerly craved the society of h
S fellow-creatures.-C Christian Register

The third floor of THE Orchard"
Francis Wilson's place in New Ro-
chelle, is fitted out as a miniature
theater, and there the actor has a
wonderful collection of paintings,
books, old play bills and theatrical
relics gathered in the last score of
years. 1t is his favorite Longing
place when at home. On recent
Saturday night fire broke out in the
cottage next door, Wilson and several
guests were in his den. A score Of as
sistants, hurriedly summoned, sue
ceeded in stripping the den of every
thing of value before it became APP
parent that his cottage was in no
danger. The lower rooms had been
utterly neglected, not an article being
touched, the actor pricing his relics
above all else.
