Berlin Prohibits Horse Cab.

While in most of the large cities Of
civilized countries the taxicab reigns
practically supreme, Berlin is the first
metropolis to pass a law prohibiting
horse-drawn cabs from carrying fares
within its Jurisdiction. Such an ordi-
nance was put in force recently and
the few remaining cabbles were given
notice Of the death Of their trade. Pro-
vision was made for the instructing of
the cabmen as chauffeurs, and $3.50
was given as compensation for their
loss of trade. This gives the taxlcab
drivers monopoly, but, as the city
authorities have stringent regulations
covering the tolls and other matters,
no trouble is expected from that
source. Co-incident with this news
comes the information from London
that the cab situation is so bad there
that a society has been formed for
the relief of INDECENT cab drivers who
are now unable to reap living owing
to the inroads taxicabs have made on
their fares.

New Use of the Banana,

There are now in Jamaica six fac
tories manufacturing banana figs,
chips, meal aai Eiour," said James
Nice. Harris Of Boston, who recently
returned from jamaica. During the
seasons at which the fruit is cheapest
all CT these plants are run at their
maximum capacity. The methods of
drying the fruit are different in diff
ferent plants, though all resort, I be-
lieve, to hot air process. 1t takes
about 200 to 800 pounds Of the fruit
to naauufacrUre 100 pounds Of meal.
"The banaAa fig is as palatable as
the natural dg and resembles it close
ly In color 1t has replaced the nat
ural fis in many markets In which 1t
has been introduced. The chips are
sold primarily for breakfast foods,
being made into porridge. Several
Of the manufacturers, who deal In the
European markets. ship the chips to
their mills in those European cities
and have 1t grou1d into meal there.
Grist mills, the same kind used for
manufacturing meal from corn, are
used"

TRIUMPH OF GERMAN CHEMIST

Dr. W. Won Bolton has been trying

obtain a greater quantity by making
diamonds grow on some mother sub

and coated the upper layer with a d.

he spread amorphous diamond pow

FlUPE FOR WOMEN OF FIFTY
Tine When She Should Be Phllo-
sophical and Prepared for Wise
Old Age.

There are people today asking with
all appearance of sincerity what a
woman of fifty or more can do. Their
confining work IN the home, say these
observers, is done. A common sugges-
ton is that they be utilized in poll
tics. This suggestion has its comical
side, Miss Tarbell declares. A per-
son who has nothing to do after fifty
years of life in business as many
sided and demanding as that OF a
woman can hardly be expected to be
worth much in business as COM
plicated and uncertain as politics and
for which she had had no training.
The notion that the woman's business
is ended at fifty or sixty is fantastic
in the extreme. 1t only ends there If
she has been blind to the meaning Of
her own experiences; If she has never
gone below the surface Of her task
never seen in it anything but physical
duties; has sensed none Of its init
mate relations to the community, none
of Its obligations toward those who
have left her, none Of those toward
the oncoming generations. If it ends
there she has failed to realize, too,
the tremendous Importance to all
those who belong in her circle or who
touch it Of what she makes Of herself,
or her personal achievement.
A woman Of fifty or sixty who has
succeeded has come to a point Of
sound philosophy and serenity which
is of the utmost value In the mental
and spiritual development Of the
group to which she belongs. Life at
every one of its seven stages has its
peculiar narrowing experiences-hope
mingles with uncertainty in youth;
fear and struggle characterize early
manhood; disillusionment, the ques-
ton whether it is worth while, fill the
years from forty to fifty, but resolute
graphing with each period brings one
out almost inevitably into fine
serene certainty which cannot but
have its effect on those who are young
eT. Ripe old age-cheerful, useful,
and understandings one Of the
finest influences in the world. We
hang Rembrandt's or Whistler's pic
ture of his mother on our walls that
we may feel its quieting hand, the
sense Of peace and achievement which
the picture carries. We have no bet
ter illustration of the meaning Of old
age-Ane erican Magazine.

RATHER A PECULIAR ho 5BI
Chief Executive of New York Said to
Have Marked Fononess
for Pigs.

"Pigs Is pigs" with Mayor Ga, uv.
of New York. They are his favo,ite
animals, on foot. Besides raising
quite a number himself at his farm
Deep Wells, at st. James, L. l., he al
ways displays an interest in pigs
owned by his neighbors.
He insists on them raising pigs.
The pigless folk of st. James hear
from him (and he uses just as sharp
language in his neighborly conversa-
ton as he does in writing letters to
rat catchers, etc), and hear from him
often until they annex a few pork
ers" as side line. Several denizens
of that locale admit they keep a few
pigs just to keep peace in the village.
Once a boy did him really good
turn and he desired to show his ap-
probation of the act Of course the
boy got a pig for his reward. When
the mayor goes for his jaunt through
the countryside he calls on all the
farmers who raise pigs. The others
do not receive a visit from him.
Whenever he hears that pig is III,
no matter if it is six miles away, he
goes to see that pig. And he usually
prescribes some home remedy for the
animal. He has been known to walk
ten miles on the hottest day to visit
an indisposed pig.
When the mayor visits his country
place at the end of each week during
the summer there is always group
Of villagers on hand to greet him. AS
he goes among them shaking their
hands, instead of acquiring about their
health, he says: "How are your
pigs ?"-NeW York Herald.

he helped her to put on her cloak,
stooped-stooped in more ways thar

NOT OF THE SUPERNATURAL
German Paper Gives Simple Explana.
ton of Circulated Story Con.
cernlng the Pope.

An extraordinary story about Plus
x. was recently told by a preacher in
one of the churches at Innsbruck. He
said that while the pope was engaged
in prayer he fell into an ecstasy and
rose several feet in the air. Cases of
levitation-the technical word for the
phenomenon-are, of course, recorded
in the lives Of many Of the saints. If
writer in "Das Neue Jahrhundert,"
journal of markedly anti-papal ten
dencies, is to be believed, the tale has
very simple explanation. Plus y,
it appears, was working In his study,
and happened to require book from
a shelf which was beyond his reach.
He climbed on a chair to get 1t. A
servant in an ante-room, from motives
of curiosity, not perhaps unmixed
with piety, happened to look through
the keyhole to see what the pope did
when he was alone. 70 his amaze
ment he saw the white-robed figure of
the pontiff floating couple Of feet
above the floor. The fact was that
between him and Plus X. stood desk
which hid the chair on which the pope
was, standing. It never occurred to
the servant that so great aSperson as
the pope would resort to so simple an
expedient to get book. Obviously he
would summon a cardinal or a cham
berlain to his aifs Hence he jumped
to the conclusion that he was wit

WHERE IS SHERIFF JARRErTl

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:--As a result OF a conference Of
residents along the Waialae road, this
considered an open letter to the sher-
if or to whoever has the enforcing Of
the laws. of. this city and county.
Auto-driyers, with hardly an excep-
ton, consider the Waialae road. be-
tween Third and Tenth avenues, to be
a speedway, and the machines, going
both ways, are opened up to the full
est. Sr%
There is no question but what the
Waialae road, between the points des-
ignated, is the best road in this city
and county, and is a temptation to the
autoists to '.let her out, and they
certainly do.
The Waialae road is'fairly we'll set
tied withsresidents, NOW, but there are
no sidewalks TO speak of, and the peo-
pie liGing hi that vicinity must use the
main road to travel on, and this being
the case it is positively dangerous for
,Dedestrians to use the road, especially
0h Sunday, and parents dare not send
a child to any of the stores in that To-
,cality. '
AAttention to this fast driving on the
.Waialae road has been called before,
and If the sheriff, or whoever is re-
sponsible for the enforcing Of the
speed laws does not put stop to the
auto-scorching on this road, the resi-
dents will put a stop to it in way
that will not be pleasant to either
side. ~s@= *

III DECISION AGAIN.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-Mr. p. l. Weaver's criticism
of the decision of Judge Dole and of
the Rev. II. H. Parker's translation of
the will of the late Hon. John Ii pub
lished in your issue of the. 10th in
slant, prompts me to write this and
remind Mr.. Weaver that the whole
meat of the will is in the last para
graph of it and upon my reading and
UNDERSTANDING of said paragraph 1
tod my friend, G.. A. Brown, twenty
y6afs ago that the will was a trust
estate and at some future date he
would know it to be, such and was
one of those who openly criticized the
decision Of the supreme court render
ed In May, 1897. ....rys !. -.
The last paragraph mentioned in the
will provides that upon the demise of
lis daughter, Irene, she failing to
have issue, the estate to descend to
her own mother and upon her death
tosiRs Younger brother, J. Kamoike-
ehuehu. 81, :. - :.ssz
This surely gave to Mrs. Holloway
only life interest in the property de-
vised to her. 6 -, ~. - r.
The fact that she has had children
settles who the fee of the property
must ultimately be owned by, namely
her children and their heirs, other
wise the fee of the estate upon Mrs.
Holloway's death would, be. owned by
the heirs of the late ]. Kamoikeehu
ehu, Mrs. Hol1oWay's own mothers
death having already occurred.
Have Mr.. Weayersput the authori-
ties on Hawaiian and English trans
lation that he has, quoted, in the para
graph ] hare referred to and their
kof it will support Mr..
Dole's decision although the supreme
court constituted as it was, for expe-
diAnky to pass upon the title to this
in 1897. says it repudiated
this view as advanced by the attorneys
for the plaintif in that case.
No.struer and more correct decision
upon the will of deceased person
wherein it depended upon the trans
Iation ofiHawaiian into English, has
ever been handed down by court in
this territory than the decision of
Judge Dole in this case and in his ar
irving at the intent and meaning of
the paragraph mentioned, he was ably
assisted by Mr. Parker's thorough
knowledge of the Hawaiian language.
Yours truly, ...- 49,.
