attempt to secure a spur of the Penn

just south of North e street. The
company was negotiating for the pur-
chase of the southeast corder of North

Of the board of public works to oppose
the crossing of the street with a rail-

the plan of securing spur behind
their warehouses to have heavy truck
age expenses.

favorable reply in few days to re-
quests sent to Virginia for bears Of

tied citizens of the city to donate mon
ey enough to purchase some more an
imals for the Glen Miller menagerie.
AS yet he has not succeeded. He an
nounced this morning that the money
appropriated for the parks next year
is much less than the amount of last

buying animals from the miscellane-
GUS account. Il would like to see the
city or some one who is interested en-
ough in public affairs to buy some
buffaloes, lions or a leopard for the
park. They would add greatly to the
present zoo and afford a greater in
ducement to the public to visit the
park. Any one who would be willing to
donate any kind OF an animal which
would be appropriate for a ZOO will
have his offer accepted by the park
board and the city will pay for build

Honey Bread,

In Europe, where the food value Of
honey seems to be much better under,
stood than in the United States, enor-
nous quantities are used. OF late
years we seem to be waking to the
realization of the value of honey as
wholesome and delicious article of
food and also as to its preservative
qualities. Cakes and sweetbreads
made with sugar soon become dry and
crumbly and to get the good of them
must be eaten when fresh, but where
they are made up with honey they
seem to retain their moist freshness
indefinitely. In France honey bread
a year or eighteen months old Is pre-
ferred to that just made. They say.
1T has ripened.". 1t Is the preserva-
tive, or rather the unchanging quality
Of honey, that makes 1t % popular

An Emperor's Strange Fancy.


Strange fancies have taken hold of
some men regarding the manner in
which their bodies were to be disposed
Of after death and the ceremonies to
be observed at their funerals. The
great Emperor Charles v. had the curl
Gus idea of celebrating his own fu-
neral. Shortly before his death he
caused tomb to be made in the chapel
Of the monastery of Estremadura. to
which he had retired after his abdica-
ton, and on its completion he was car
ried to it as though dead. Placed in a
coffin and accompanied by a process
sion, he was borne along, while chants
were sung, prayers said and tears shed.
After the solemn farce was over he
was left alone in the chapel, where he
remained short time before rising
out Of the coffin.

is simmering. 1t will soon be on the
boil. Present signs and symbols indi-
cate some interesting facts
Jim Lewis, chairman of the board
of supervisors, is not quite sure
whether he wants to run for the Sen
ate or for sheriff of Hilo. His lean
ing appears to be for the Senate and
his friends agree with him that he
should join the Solons in Honolulu
next February. Jim would be elected
without doubt and would make sue
cess as one Of the Big Islands spokes-
men in the upper chamber.
That would mean, with Lewis IN
the Senate, that Ned Austin, re-elect-
ed supervisor, would take the chair
manship of that board.
Sam Kauhene, Republican, is prac-
tically sure of reelection as super
visor from Kau, If he wants it. but
there is talk of Kauhane being Lewis
running mate for the Senate whereby
there would then be two men from
opposite sides of the island, balancing
matters very satisfactorily from the
Republican standpoint.
d. E. Metzger may be urged to run
for the Senate He is a Democrat
as his initials indicate, D. E. NJ, and
he made a splendid showing last
time, considering that he was a new
man Besides, he is thoroughly quail
fled He would get votes from all
parties. Senator Makekau is urging
Metzger's nomination. In fact he De
ieves Metzger's election is really
needed.
David Baker, whose present dspir
ations are for the shrievalty, might
be Metzgers running mate. Senator
Makekau, however, wants him for the
| Senate.
II. p. Beckley,s reelection as su
pervisor is considered sure. He il
the city father from the Kohalas.
Norman Lyman, it is stated, can be
reelected from Puma if he. wants the
position, though rumor has it that he
desires to go to the legislature He
would shine well in the House.
Ned Austin will be out for re-elec
ton to the supervisorial board, al
above indicated, and is another

Longworth, Hardwick, Boardmann

that Australia, Germany and the

THE GRAHAM BABIES.

Herbert Graham is five and Willie
Graham is seven years of age. They
have been given physical culture and
dieting ever since they were six
weeks old, and have never known a
sick day.
Their father w. l.. Graham, mar
ried at the age of seventeen.
He had studied physical culture
since he was a boy of ten, and it was
his desire at their birth to make phys
ical marvels of them.
He states that the course of exer-
else he has given the boys has been
intensely interesting to them as well
as being in way an education, and
that it proves beyond a doubt that
physical training at such tender ages
is infinitely more desirable than the
old style of raising children on sooth-
ing syrup and goodies
Papa" Graham contends that chill
dren can develop strength and STAN
ina as they grow up, and that they
needn't wait till they are in their
teens before they undertake physical
training, but will be better off the
younger they begin.
Physical culture is taking the
place of medicine all over the coun-
try" said Mr.. Graham this morning.
To-day the schools from one end of
the States to another are installing
and adopting systems Of physical
training, recognizing that life without
health is lost"

IS QUIXOTE
OR MARVEL

NEW YORK, March 29.--James E.
Sullivan, secretary of the Olympic
games committee, has received an
application for a place on the team
from an athlete in Pekin, ILL.,, who
modestly claims a place in five events
the 44O and the $50 yard runs, the
Marathon, the running broad jump
and the hop, step and jump. The
unknown" asserts in his letter that
he has recently done the 440 in 43
seconds and the $50 in fairly good
time. The worlds record for the 44O
at present is held by Maxey Long of
the New York Athletic Club, with a
mark of AZ seconds.
'If this youngsters abilities are on
a par with his assertions, it seems as
though he will displace several of the
men who have been seriously consid-
cred for the team" remarked Sulli-
van, when he read the letter. There
would be little excuse for sending
such commonplace stars as Jones and
Sheppard in company with a peri
former like this"
Melvin Sheppard, the Olympic cham
pion at $50 meters, is going to Kan
sas City next week to take part in
race there and will stop off At
Pekin to see what the unknown Won
der is like.
