DOCTORS PUZZLED.
y Wealthy Clergyman Who Carries false
Teeth in Ills Oesophagus.
Wooster (O) Letterl

Wooster (O.) Letter.l
OF the two thousand and odd personares
in Orrville there is one whose makeup has
been augmented bv an artificial addition
that has placed him in peculiar position
one that he never before met with, and
one that has knocked medical credulity all
awry. Some four years ago Rev. Richard
p. Baughman went to bed with a vulcan
lied rubber plate holding four teeth (all
inclosed) in his mouth. During the night,
while he was asleep, the plate became dis
lodged and slipped down his wIndpipe.
All attempts to remove it were unsuccess-
ful, and various physicians tackled the case
to remove the foreign substance, which
had been pushed into the oesophagus and
lodged there on the right side, where it is
to-day. Rev. Baughman suffered inde-
scribable pain in consequences, and from a
once heavy wei9 bit of nearly two hundred
pounds has fallen to the rather light
weight of one hundred and thirty pounds.
His speech betrays the presence OF some
foriegn subsistence in his throat, and his
continued hawking is caused by the teeth,
which have male him resem lie a con-
sump'ive, yet recent examination made
by medical expert In Chicago showed
that his lungs were sound, and that his
coue him was caused by the teeth Dur
ing the four years he has had the teeth
in his @sophagus he has not eaten any
substantial food, such as bread, potatoes,
meat and like vegetables, being unable to
swallow them, but has sulsstcd on raw
beef chopped fine, soup and stimulanis. In
drinking he is compelled to throw bis
head far lack, as though gnrgling his
throat, and allow the liquid to pas slowly
down his throat. In his prese mt condition
he is wholly unable to pursue his calling.
He is man Of forty-two years, and a
veteran of the Forty first Illinois Volun-
teers. He is man of means, and offers
$4,000 tn the person who will remove tho
teeth without injuring him. If life il
spared him he will go to the hospital at
Paris, France, next fall and have the
teeth removed ly tic n knIfc.

LAMAR'S ENGAGEMENT.
The Attachment Existing Between tho
Secretary Of the Interior and Mrs. Holt.
Washington Letter1

Washington Letter.l
The engagement OF Secretary Lnmar e.
Mrs. Holt, widow OF General Holt, OF
Macon. Ga, which was limited at when
Mr.. Lamar visited the South last month,
is now believed to be true. The date for
the ceremony is as yet unknown, hut th at
the wedding will be celebrated soma time
during the summer. while the Secretary is
enjoy ing his vacation. is the belief of all
who know him. Mrs. Holt is described as
fine-looking, well preserved woman of the
blonde type, about fifty-five years o age.
She was Miss Dean, a descendant of an
old and wealthy Georgia family. Prior TO
her marriage to General Holt there Is be-
lieved to have heen a romantic attach
ment between her and Mr.. Lamar. who
at that time was quite a Young
man. Events did not shape taem-
selves as the young people wished, and
after a time Miss Dean married Mr.. Holt
and Mr.. Lamar married some one else.
Mrs. Holt became the mother of two
daughters, both of whom are Marie l.
one to Mr.. Bergen, the representative OF
an old Macon family; the other TO Captain
Robert E. Park. formerly OF LaGrange.
When General Holt diei, some three
years ago. he left his wife an estate val.
ued at $I50,000. She had also inherited
some money from her father, so that she
became one of the richest women In
Georgia. Most of her property is invested
In local and railroad securities. She has
large interest in the Southwestern rail-
road, OF which her lrother- in law, Col
onei Jones. is president. Colonel Jones
and his wife, who live at Macon, are all
that is left of the immediate family of
Mrs. Holt. aside from her children. Her
son-in-law and daughter, Captain and
Mrs. Park, live with her in the family
mansion, which is one of the handsomes,
In Macon. It stands In the cen.er of a
handsome bit of property in the most
fashionable part Of the city. This is the
only piece of real estate which Mrs. Hoh
owns.

down the persihage, the abuse and
the spite, and there is left a good basis
of solid argumentwhich is hard TO
combat, and much, that from its act
ual truth, cannot be combated.
This is the case with our financial
position. When people abroad saw
that they are in almost hopeless
muddle. we cannot deny, nor can the
Government deny the fact. When it
is said that what money we do have
is wasted on needless expenditures it
is a statement that does not admit of
denial. The fact is that Hawaiian
credit has been receiving serious blows
and our own Government is the arm
ory which FORCES the weapons. Is it
possible to change this? Yes. Arespect-
able Cabinet would make a marked
difference in a very short time At
present we have not a responsible
Cabinet: the ruling spirit in it is one
whose very life breath is knavery and
deceit. As long as he remains in
office, so long viii the middle con-
tinue. so long will we have attacks
made on us which we cannot repel.
An unworthy favorite has been the
stumbling block over which many a
monarch has fallen. Is it worth while
to pull Hawaii down to perdition,
simply to allow knave to have his
revenge on all that IS honest and re-
spectacle in the country?

The Grand Duke of Gynbergdrink-
~ enstein.

One of the most amusing pieces of satire
upon the affairs of this Kingdom was issued
on Saturday morning The satire takes the
form of three-act burlesque under the title
of "rhe Grand Duke of Gynbergdrinken-
STEM" and is respectfully dedicated to the
Public of the Duchy. The points made are
delicately pu. There is plenty of fun but it
is perfectly good natured fun, and even those
satarized must laugh. The author, whoever
it may be, has certainly good knowledge of
Hawaiian affairs. He treats them as the
German principaiities were treated in Often
Bach's Grand Duchesse, bat without the ex-
aggeration. 1t shows how utterly absurd tine
affairs Of this Kingdom are, when without
exsggeration, a relation OF fact can be made
to seem so supremely funny.
The scene opens in the Dukes morning
room and the discussion of the policy of the
nation is entered upon. Nosbig is the Dukes
Minister. An idea may be gathered of the
conversation.

We present to our readers the
tables of arrivals and departures for
the three months ending September
Both. Unforeseen circumstances have
prevented their publication. These
tables are more accurately kept than
the Custom House statistics and take
cognizance of arrivals and departures
which never appear on the Custom
House tables. In order to be accu-
rate. great care has to be taken, and we
have every confidence that that care
has been exercised in making up the
report
The circumstance most to be marked
IS the steady decrease of the white
population. On June Both we had
lost during the first SIX months of the
year 365 whites. The ensuing three
months brings the loss up to 557.
These certainly are appalling figures
and the more SO when the gain in
Asiatics is considered. Deducting the
small decrease of Chinese and Japan
csc which is usually found to take
place during the latter half of every
year, we find that the gain in Asiatics
for the first nine months of this year
has been 1,55S.
Figures such as these ire very sig
nifcant. They become more signifi-
cant when we remember that it is the
policy of Mr.. Gibson to try and drive
as many white men out of the coun-
try as he can, that he hates, with
the virulent hatred, of a renegade, the
men of his own race, while on the
other hand he looks towards the Ash
attic as making convenient popula-
ton, accustomed to the despotic gov
eminent which he aspires to found.

Tm good work still goes on. The
domino player is hauled up by our
police. but we fail to hear Of any move
being made in the direction OF greater
and more fragrant sinners. When is
the police department going to be rid
OF humbug. and going to DO Its work
honestly and for the good Of the pub
lie. instead Of. as Is now the case, US
ing its power for merely class pun
ishment. If the authorities really
want to put down gambling let them
aim a good deal higher than the
dolnino player. If it Is right to enter
d Chinaman's house at Cape Horn,
and arrest him for playing a game of
cards. it Is equally right for the police
to enter more pretentious houses and
arrest the players at more pretentious
games. Let Us have done with hum
bug. Let us have done with a sys-
TEN which allows the poor to be wor-
ned and harTied, while it allows the
well to do to practically defy the law,

IT might be well for people to I'M
derstand the difference between ar
ticles. items and reports. A paper is
responsible for all it publishes, and is
as liable to be sued for a half line
item as it Is for a column leader. That
is the law and the law is just.
There Is a great difference however,
IN public influence. as TO what is said
editorially and what is said inreports
or items. The editorial makes the
policy Of the paper, bythis it stands
or falls. The item is ephemeral
thrown off by a dozen pens; brighton
dull, as the case may be, biting or

A CoRREsPONDENT in the Bulletin takes
exception to some lines in a report of
the Tableaux. Whether the dance
was regular hula or not we can
not say. 1t was at least a suggestion
of it. and therefore a suggestion of
something which has been denounced
here for years. We should be very
sorry To see the cancan or any other
lascivious dance introduced here. 1t
argues very little for the hula when
its defender has to shelter himself be-
hind so immoral a defense as the can
can.
That some people saw no harm in
this affair argues nothing; many
would see no harm in a suggestion of
the Eleusinian Mysteries, or of the
the Phallic Worship. However harm
lessly either might be suggested" it
would be the duty of the press to de
nounce the suggestors. You can't
touch pitch without being deiled.
The hula is a dance unfit for exhibit
ton either publicly or privately and
to even suggest it is bad. Some years
ago due, we believe, to the efforts of
Mr.. J. o. Carter, the hula was made
illegal, but his law. or the law he had
influence enough to have passed, has
been repealed, and its repeal is not
much to the credit of the Legislature.
We have a distinct feeling ON this
matter. We make a stand and draw
a firm line. The hula is wrong. it is
a disgrace to the country that it is
permitted to take place; it is dis
grace to every one who attends ii
when it is danced, it is degrading to
the dancers. and it Is not in the inter
ests of public morality that the filthy
thing should be suggested"

TIE people of Lahaina seem to have
Just cause Of complaint. If their
mail is delivered in the manner in
which our correspondent says it is,
why the Postmaster General had bet
ter go there and arrange matters. No
doubt such looseness in delivery is
the cause of papers going astray. We
know that the LuSo HaraiiqHo has
complained Of this looseness and thbt
a protest has been made. The Post
master-General eourteously attended
to the matter. We have little doubt
but that now the Lahaina matter has
been made public the P NJ g. will

But Lahaina has not only to com
complain Of its Post Office. The
prison seems even in a worse eondi-
Dtion. An investigation of the circum-
stances under which the prisoner es-
caped the other day. would be really
interesting. The present Minister of

his district he should order an enquiry.
