TRADE THAT WAS CALLED OFF.
Minister'S Really Good Reason for ilot
Purchasing Horse.

81 saw an instance recently re-
marked Senator Carter of Montana
| of one way TO get along with Indians
when ii comes to a horse deal. One
| OF the missionaries who makes occa.
sional excursions into the Crow c0un'
try by way of getting on friendly
| terms with the tribe, commissioned
| two of the men to get him swift,
| strong and presentable riding horse,
and he stipulated that he would pay a
hundred dollars for the kind of horse
described, The braves soon appeared
with q horse, swift. strong and a
splendid looking animal, but, alas! SO
vicious that he. had to be dubbed al
most to insensibility before he would
be saddled. Then the Indians blind
folded him to get on the bride.
The missionary looked on, anything
but edited by the conduct of the
braves and fierce temper Of the horse.
Still, the Indians insisted that they
had brought the horse described and
they demanded the hundred. The mis-
sionary explained that though the
horse could go like the wind, the rider
ran the risk of having his neck broken
before he dismounted More than that,
the missionary was not strong enough
to beat the horse as the Indians had.
Besides, he finished tearfully, How
can | blindfold the horse whenever |
want to mount? The Indians replied
that all he had to do was to take off
his shirt aud tie It over the horses
head. But conceive, said the man OF
Cod how | would look being com
PEELED to take off my shirt every time
got on the horse. Why, you Indians
know that | go among whites as well
as Indians, and women as well as
men. 1t would cover me with shame
to pull off my shirt that way. | can
not buy this horse. The Crows
thought it over and finally gave up on
the ground that it would not be seem
ly for the preacher TO have to take of
his garments promiscuously so the
deal was off amcably."

BREAK IN PRICES
Occurred in Yesterdays Stock Mar
ket-Real Developments Made
Market Unsettled.

New York, Sept 10.-There were
bearing on values today compared
with the unsubstantial fabric of tips
land rumors which have made up the
influences in the stock market for
some time past, The effect was to
throw the market into state of
Iseeming unsettlement reflected in the
constant and feyerisn fluctuations and
the final sharp break in prices. The

of the day were the decision of the
United States circuit court against
THE constitutionality of the commodi-
ties clause of the Hepburn Law, pass
ing of the American Locomotive diyi-
dend, and the rise in call money
rates to a higher figure than has been
touched since early IN March. AS a
speculative factor the Hepburn Law
decision had been assumed for many
weeks and has been an active factor
in Reading speculation during all that
time, It's delivery today was earlier
than Wall Street information had Civ
en- reason to expect, but its tenor was
in accord with expectations. The i'm
portance to anthracite carriers of the
relief from the provision of this enact |
ment are unquestionabe. The sharp |
upturn in call loan rates can hardly |
be attributed to the near approach |
of an exhaustion of loanable funds |

RAPID TRANSIT
HAS CONTRACT

The Honolulu Rapid Transit and
Land Company has signed u contract
with the United States government
through Captain Orwell, TO transport q
minimum of twenty-five thousand tons
Of crushed rock from the quarry al
Moiliiln TO the wharf AT the foot OF
hekauanSOa street, and has about I'm
ished laying two thousand feet of new
track at MOiliiln and through South
street and from Allen street down he
kauSnaos street 10 the wharf, over
which TO handle the new traffic.
The ears for the work are regular
fat ears, and the contract will take q
very long time for ful6lment, as it is
thought that not more than one hundred
and twenty tons Of crushed rock will
be gotten out by the erusher daily. The
contract for the machinery at the
quarry calls for the completion of the
work in forty days, and it Will be
three weeks vet before the erusher is
ready. The crushed rock will be con-
veyed from the wharf here TO Pearl
Harbor in q new seow building at the
harbor now, and in the barge Melane-
thon. which has been purchased for the
work. The James Makee will do most
Of the towing.
Captain Orwell stated yesterday that
the price paid to the Rapid Transit
people for hauling WAS s remarkably
ehesp figure. They are TO receive IS
cents a ton for the first twenty thou
sand tons moved. and thereafter Is
cents viii be paid The Rapid Transit
people viii be ready 70 start their part
Of the contract in 4 week.
The means OF handling the crushed
rock from the ears here to the seow
and barge and how TO handle it at the
other end where 1t is to be discharged
IS vet 10 be figured ont. This viii
mean quite an item OF expense and a
great deal Of labor if the crushed rock
s all moved by hand. To handle one.
hundred and twenty tons day a small
army Of men would be required at the
wharf here and at Pearl HarbOr, so
while no definite plans have as yet
been given out the engineers are at
work on s scheme 70 save time and
abor both.
