ST. LOUIS IN
WAR PAINT
(From Sundays Advertiser.)

(From Sundays Advertiser.)
More formidable than ever in her
war paint of dark slate, looking more
British than when she wore dainty
white, the big United States protected
cruiser 81. Louis, Captain Albert
Gleaves, commanding, came into port
yesterday afternoon about 2 o clock
after fine run from Santa Barbara
channel, averaging IL knots all the
way over. After stay of ten days
in port during which time she will
take on thousand tons of coal the
cruiser will leave for Samoa, via Hlo
possibly.
The st. Louis may only be a cruiser
but she appears to- have battleship
strength in guns and crew; for of the
former she has fourteen 6-inch and
eighteen 3.inch guns and 6s4 men. She
is registered as of 5000 tons and is
capable of steaming 90 knots per hour,
putting her in the class of the -speedi-
est of all warships.
The st. Louis was an object of ex-
IRENE interest to the Japanese. Many
were on hand to watch her tie up at
the Oceanic wharf and during the aft
ernoon big crowds came to look upon
her massive sides and towering mill
tary masts and rather wicked-looking
guns. They looked with stolid faces
and whether the thought came into
their minds that she was something a
little better than the visiting Japa-
nese warships or not may not be
| known.
The st, Louis has been held in re-
serve at Bremerton for some time and
the present trip is 2 practice cruise
to some extent, Page Page, Samoa, De-
ing the southernmost port of call.
When she returns north she may again
be placed in the reserve list and posi-
bly, then much of her top hamper may
| be removed in accordance with the
new plan of the navy department to
remove all unnecessary features which
show above decks, even to some of the
observation bridges. The Milwaukee
| is said to be undergoing removal of
| top hamper now, some of the big
cranes being slated for the scrap pile.
The st. Louis is carrying crew of
almost green men. who became greener
after they left the Cuast for most of
them became seasiek. They are still
unused to many of the duties of blue
jackets but the officers state that they
are being pulled through and when the
cruise is finished they will have passed
through thorough probationary course
to entitle them to equal privileges with
the veterans.

to run thirty years, but was afterwards
changed to twelve years, expiring on
January /, 1909. At this time the Oahu
Railway and Land Company did not
exercise its right to redeem the bonds.
An endeavor, however, was made at
that time to refund the bonds, but,
while local financiers admitted that the
railway bonds were among the safest
on the market, the proposition was not
taken up.
AT yesterdays meeting of the direc-
tors of the railway company. however,
the new deal went through. Robert
w. Shingle, representing W. G. Irwin,
agreed to take an option on the issue
of two million dollars worth of bonds
at five per cent, at 101, and at the
same time give the present holders the
right to make an exchange. The prop
osition was accepted by the directors of
1.-THE railway company, and in this issue
of the Advertiser appears notice call
ing meeting of the stockholders to
| ratify the transaction.
Judging by the sale of the present
six per cents at 102, one good-sized sale
having been made yesterday and a num-
Der being recorded during the past
week, it is the belief of bankers and
| brokers that the present railway bonds
will go to between 103 and los very
shortly.
At the present time there is strong
| demand for Rapid Transit 6s at ITO.

o. r. & L. REFUNDS BOND
ISSUE OF TWO MILLIONS
cFrom saturdays Advertiser,

One Of the biggest bond deals ever
handled locally was authorized yester.
day afternoon, when, at the meeting
of the Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany, the directors voted to refund
their bond issue, calling in the present
outstanding issue of six per cent. bonds
to the amount of two million dollars,
and authorizing new bond issue of
two millions, at FIVE per cent. interest
from July /, 1909, to January l, 1927,
the company reserving the right of re-
demption after July l, 1919. This
makes what is known in brokerage par
lance as a lO-17h bond, which is to be
sold at 101.
William G. Irwin, through his broker
r. w. Shingle of the Waterhouse Trust
Company, has taken the option on the
bonds with the understanding, however,
with the railway company that all the
present holders have the right to ex.
change the present bonds for the new
issue at five per cent, on the paymen:
of one per cent. premium.
The present skies of the o. R. & L.
were issued by B. F. Dillingham; on
January l, 1897, to refund number OF

When the st. Louis went south from
Mare Island to the Santa Barbara chan
mel it was to take her Standardization
trial. She had just been fitted with
new propellers and it was necessary to
try them out officially. After the trials
were over the vessel left for Honolulu
direct.
On May the st. Louis left the Puget
Sound Navy Yard. The battleship
Oregon was then in dry dock having
her new ebay stack mast installed.
On May 6 Admiral Ijichi visited the
yard. On May 81 the cruiser received
~ men from the Independence and Pen

midshipmen from the two japanese

have remarked, "the cleanest ship L

company gave Bill gasoline engine.
Other materials came from various
parts of Honolulu, and Bill assembled
the parts during his spare hours. But
it went. "Why 1 went out to the quar-
ry last Sunday in seven minutes. Wait
till L get it geared up and then just
watch my smoke" he said.
Yesterday morning Bill decided to
take the family out. Everything went
lively for a while. Everybody on the
streets stopped to take look. And then
suddenly something went bust. The
machine dropped to the ground and the
power tubes sputtered. The rear axle
had given way. There was nothing to
do but send to the stable for sextet
of powerful horses to haul the wreck
away. Some people were mean enough
to suggest that Bill INSTRUCTED the
street until he could get the auto
hauled away, but Larsen doesn't be-
lieve all he hears.
"Well, there's nothing the matter
with the machine anyway said Bill
after the accident. "Anybody's axle
is liable to bust. I'm going to get
locomotive axle and fix it up and then
III make you fellows green with envy
when you take my smoke.'
Jimmy Lynch says that Bill can keep
his license.

SHAKEN TO DEATH
BY A BULLDOG
Little Fellows Spine Broken
and Neck LaCeTated

Newburyport, Mass, Feb. s.
Two year-old Bert Leadbetter's
fondness for dogs resulted in his
death, the child dying within few
minutes after being shaken by the
teeth of a Boston terrier bulldog
owned by the lads uncle, John P.
Colby.
The child's spine was broken and
the nape of his neck badly lacerated
by the dogs teeth before Colby beat
the terrier away from the child.
1t is supposed that the terrier, in
a temporary fit of anger, grabbed the
child's neck, and like his kind shook
the object upon which he had fastened
his teeth.

The Hedgehog Smile.

Senator Bourne, of Oregon, on July
I made his first formal speech of the
session. In the opening paragraph
occurred a strange word:
The struggle was titanic one, his
task herculean, the treatment neces-
sarily heroic, but Mr.. Roosevelt was
equal to the emergency. He first
awakened the public conscience,
pointed out in an echinated manner
the existing evils.
Such a wish to add this word to
their vocabularies will find this mean
ing given by the Standard Dictionary,
Goth century edition:
Echinated-A family of echinoide-
ans especially diadematoidcans having
tests with equal diameters, the ambu-
lacral plates compound with pores in
triplets, tentacles all alike, and jaws
with epiphyses. Set or armed thick
~ with prickles.
1t seems expedient to add that the
remainder of the Senator's speech
carries the conviction that his inten-
ton was to compliment ex-President
acknowledgements.

OLD FASHIONED
COUNTY FAIR
To Be Opened in September in the
Palisades Amusement Park.

The public is promised an interest
ing innovation III the early autumn.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby Palisades Amusement Park,
was selected by a committee of Ber-
gen County, New Jersey, farmers as
the site of their first annual county
fair. The date set is September 18th
for the opening and the fair which is
to be a typical county function will
last for two weeks continuing over
the time of the Hudsonf7ulton cele-
bration. The farmers in Bergen
County have promised to lend all the
assistance i'll their power to make
the affair a success. Prizes will be
offered for exhibitions of agricul-
tural and horticultural products, in
addition to which there will be dis
plays of fine cattle and horses as
we'll as other features, such as are to
be found in affairs of this character.
In addition to this there will be
barn dances, husking-bees and the
one hundred and one other exhibits
and amusements which are wont to
provide entertainment for the rural
ties. While it is expected that New
Jersey folks will be primarily in
terested in the Bergen County Fair,
it will, through the fact that Pail
sades Amusement Park is so near
New York, give the Manhattanites
an opportunity to see real country
fair in operation, a sight which will
to the city folks, be a decided
novelty.
The. books are now open for en-
tries, for those who think they have
prize winning pumpkins, cattle, etc.
Since Palisades Amusement Park is
brilliantly Illuminated the exhibition
will be given at night as we'll as
during the day time.

Horse Loose.

On Sunday morning last, about
eight o'clock, a dark bay horse ran
loose through the streets of Palisade
He had on halter and a fine yellow
blanket. Garfield May, that master
of horses, tried to shy his castor at
him on the corner of Bluff and Dear
born roads, but his nags went on his
way, kicking back merry ha! hal at
Garfield. The only thing that came
near subduing the runaway were the
yells turned loose by little hve-year-
old Thomas Fredericks, who cried at
the top of his voice, Horse run away!
Horse ran away! Horse ran awayp
with sufficient lung power to bring
people to their doors. The horse
finally cantered towards Grantwood,
with tail erect and name flying.
