Mr.. GEO. F. HITcHFIELD, ESQ.
SIR: i have not the pleasure of
your acquaintance nor did l find
your name in the latest directory.
I therefore have to resort to the col
umns of the ADVERTISER to COM
nnunicate with you. Finding my
name in the black list as published
by you this morning, l wish to en-
tighten you about my position as
Port Physician. In the mean time
do not think for a moment that |
object to being associated with
those mentioned by you. [ make
the third physician On your list
for the two others, both much youn-
ger than I, l have great sympathy,
and among other names are some
of my best friends. | assure you
that 1 am rather pleased in finding
myself in their company.
The following are copies of two
letters filed at the Board of Health
office and probably at your disposal
on application to the Secretary;

Ena and w. o. Smith, Drs. Ander-
son, Day and Miner.
GENTLEMEN:-I see in the ADvER-
User that you are going to meet this
afternoon to organize the new Board

ments, I consider it as my simple
duty to hand you my resignation as

vices were not agreeable, you might
Immediately make a new appoint
ment. remain yours respectfully,

Paups Price List.

Mr.. EDITOR Having replied to
many anxious enquiries that the
true meaning of Paufs Precis
meant current quotations, or PauPs
Price for Royalty of the "best isl
and" brands, and that on his list
was the names of an ex-Queen, an
alleged Princess and Princeling
I now own up that | was wrong
(spoke from my memory at the
time). Upon looking up Webster
under the Bridge, find it to be a
horse of another" color, and now
hasten to make the arnende honor
able. In Sorrow, A. P.

OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH, !
Honolulu, March l, 1898.
DR.. G. Trousseau, Port Physician.
DEAR SIR:-I am instructed by the
Honorable Board of Health to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your favor
of even date in which you tender your
resignation, and TO ask you to with
draw the same. / have also the honor
to state that the new Board of Health
has voted unanimously to re-appoint
you as Port Physician under the new
administration, and will later on issue
you new commission to that effect.
CHAs. WILCOX,
Secretary.
Do not these letters show, Mr..
Hitchfeld that | anticipated your
objections? There the matter rests,
and as I have not received my new
commission as yet, you will see
that as far as | am concerned, | am
not in the way. You ask if | have
mortgage, ETC., and why l was
permitted to occupy the position.
You will see now how mistaken
you have been.
One more piece of information.
The Port Physician is really a
Government employee, but he re-
ceives no salary. He gets fees
from the vessels he visits, and even
not always. He does not draw
one cent from the Treasury, and as
far as l am concerned, the ex.
penses in keeping up an efficient
service about balance the receipts
During long stay in the Isl.
ands | never have taken part in
any political organization. | never
believed, however, that I owned the
country, always considered myself
as a guest of the Hawaiian people
and am one of those who believe in
fair play, trust implicitly to the
sense of honor and justice of the
American Republic as governed by
Mr.. Cleveland. And to finish, Mr.
Hitchfeld, I can tell you that i
you take the trouble to inquire
you will find that there are gooC
many more than | of the same
thinking. Yours, very truly,
G.. TRoUssEAU.

Not Fair.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t seems a perfect
outrage on royalty to have SO many
United States commissioners ap-
pointed from the army and navy
It does not come within the pro.
vince of their calling to haul down
the American flag. President Cleve'
land may have a slick way of doing
this annexation business, but can
not fool RoYALIsT.

A SERIOUS DEFECT.

fined In AccomAc jail.


fcorrsspondsnce OF the Richmond Dispatca.l
0xANcocx, March si.--James II. Fletcher.
Jr., Commonwealth Attorney tor Acoo-
mac, has discovered very serious defect
in the Virginia oyster law. While framing
IN indictment against George Revel, @
negro claiming to be from Lancaster coup-
~. Va. who was recently arrested for
catching oysters in Virginia waters with
out license, Mir. Fletcher discovered that
tho General Assembly IN enacting
the law had forbidden the taking
of oysters With tongs without q Incense.
but, strangely enough. had failed 10 pro;
vide any penalty for the offence. ReVei
was theraupon dismissed from custody on
the motion Of the Commemorative At
torney, there being no law by which ne
could be punished. THIS IL O very SERIOUS
defect in the law, as will be seen when II
is known that every tongman IN virginia
might have failed 10 pay the license-tax 70
the State during the past season without
incurrlng any penalty. Non-resldents are
punished under another provision OF the
oyster law.
STILL IN LIMBO.
The report telecraphed from Crisheld to
the Baltimore sun that all the Marylanders
confined IN Accomac county lan have
been released IS unfounded. Robert l..
Wharton, Of CrIsfield, was the only man
released on hail, and he was released some
time before this term of the court began.
lhe other Marylnnders are SUI IN jail.
SLAPPED HrR PACE
a lively case was tried in the County
Court on Wednesday. Some time ago
there was an informal gathering OF young
people IN "A house near Guiltord, some
twelve miles above here on the bay side.

pushed one of the young men back ana
caused HIM TO tread on the foot OF one OF
the local bellies. The girl slapped him IN
the back and he slapped her IN the face, for
which the jury fined him $50 and costs.
There were about dozen girls on the W.T.
nesS-stand. all of whom except two testi-
fed against the unchvalrOus Young man.
The case was one of the most amusing
ever tried in this court.
VERY SCARCE.
