National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS oK
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

and Agents is called to the
following letter from DIR.
JOHN A. SCOTT, Manager of
the HilO Sugar Co., regarding
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has
just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:
WAIEAKU, Hno, HAWAII,
January 22d, 1884,
Hon. WI. q. IRwE, HoEoLULU, HI
DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours OF Il
18th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
IwOuld beg 10 say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more / see of
its capabilities, the better pleased L am
that put il in, as i am satisfied that II
will repay the original outlay In a short
time, in saving OF labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons of
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity if necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
TO the three roller mill, which receives il
without the intervention of any labor.
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four "a men daily
on the mill, as only one man is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. II has
Increased the extraction from to
per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally a serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But l find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of IL,
and owing TO the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel, and the freA IN
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
l will be pleased to have a call from
see the machine at work TO fully app g.
ciate its capabilities.
/ remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN a. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.

lively harmful when they are not o1-
rected against a specific disorder in an
intelligent manner.
A person who has long been a suf-
ferer, or who has shown signs of being
"spleeny," should be encouraged to do
without drugs as far as possible. He
should be led to look upon medicines
as in the main simply mixtures of poi
son. the use of which is to be avoided
except under the most urgent circum-
stances.
In this way the moral strength of the
patient is reinforced, and he is enabled
to get away from his own troubles, and
out of himself, into a more wholesome
and unselfish sphere.
But what is of far more Importance,
and more in line with the point which
is aimed at in this paper, is that large
proportion of the troubles which so
weighed down the body of the sufferer
will be found to have taken flight

Of the Second army corps. He was
thrice wounded, and at the battle of
Charlottesville was carried from the
field with what was supposed to be a

When the war closed Maj. Gen.
Miles was commissioned in the regular
army with the rank of colonel, and as
signed to the command of the Fortieth
United States infantry. Shortly after
ward he was transferred to the Fifth
infantry. In 1874 and 1878 he fought
the Cheyennes, the Kiowas and the
Comanches in the staked plains coun-
try. In 1876 he waged successful war
against the Sioux and other tribes in
Montana. He drove Sitting Bull across
the border and broke up the bands led
by Clusters slayer, and by Crazy Horse,
Spotted Eagle, Broad Trail, Hump and
Lame Deer. In 1877 he captured Chief
Joseph and his tribe of Nez Perces
and sixty miles. The next year he
captured Elk Horn in Yellowstone
park. In 1880 Col Miles was promoted
to be brigadier general. Six years
later he captured Geronimo, Natchez,
and their bands of Apaches. He re-
ceived the thanks of the legislatures Of
Kansas, Montana, New Mexico and
Arizona, and at Tucson, Ariz., was pre-
sented with sword of honor in the fol-
lowing year. In April, 1890, Brig. Gen.
Miles was promoted to his present rank
and station in Chicago.
The brigadier generals from whom
the vacant major generalship must be
filed are Gems. Ruger, Merritt, Brooke,
McCook, Wheaton and Otis. Gen
Ruger is the senior general in point of
service, Gen. McCoob the oldest.

Chicago to New York.

Howard's Retirement.

Army circles are all arife with ex-
citement over the prospective removal
of Maj. Gen. Miles from Chicago to
New York, and the question of who
will be his successor.
Maj. Gen. o. o. Howard, the one
armed veteran who has been in COM
mand of the department of the east
since Maj. Gen. Schoield's promotion
to the command of the army, has re-
tired under the age limitation. Ac-
cording to the age provisions of this
peculiar law an officer of the army is
officially pronounced passe when he
has reached the age of sixty-four, and
he must retire. November was Mai
Gen. Towards age-limit birthday
Maj. Gen. Mills is nine years younger.
He does not reach the age of sixty-five
until August s, 1908.
The commander of the department of
the east is appointed by the president.
There are three ma jor generals and six
brigadiers in the army. One major
general has command of the entire
army, another has command of the de-
'partment of the east, with head
quarters at Governors island in New
York harbor, while the third is in
charge of the department of the Mis-
souri,, with headquarters in Chicago
Gen. Towards enforced retirement
leaves a vacant major generalship. The
brigadier general who is promoted to
the vacant rank will, theoretically,
be eligible to selection by the president
to fill Gen. Towards shoes in New
York. But as matter of custom the
presidents have almost always given
the senior major general the choice of
New York or Chicago.
Maj. Gen. Miles is a native of Massa-
chusetts. He was born in Westminster,
up among the Berkshire hills, on
August 8, 1899. His ancestors were
early English settlers. He did not re-

The Oldest OIL Well.

A short time ago the Derrick men,

years ago on the Columbia farm, near
this city, had been cleaned out and was
producing oil in paying quantities.
There is another we'll in this neighbor-
hood that knocks the record of the Co
lumbia farm well into smithereens,
says the Oil City Derrick. 1t is at
lockwood, about four miles east of
here, on property owned by Charles
Lay, and was drilled in 1910 for salt. A
vein of oil was struck, and it impreg-
mated the water to such an extent that
it was valueless for salt making. No
use was then known for the oil, and it
was abandoned. During the oil ex-
element the well was drilled deeper,
and it pumped oil for several years, but
later it was abandoned. Within the
last week it has been suffering gas
and oil, and may be cleaned out and
made a fair-sized pumper.

USELESS DRUGGlNG.
The MisapplicstiOn of Medicine by Man
Patients.


Patients.
It is fortunate that most people are
in the enjoyment of some natural abil-
ity to withstand disease, since they are
thus freed from much useless expert
menting with drugs.
Even when one is suffering from a
rather serious disorder, it will general
ly be found that attention to the nat
ural laws of health is more rational
mode of treatment than dosing.
Aside from the uselesSnesS of endeav-
oring to find something for every all
ment, however slight, the practice sets
up in the patient an appetite, as it
were, for various connections, and pre-
disposes him to the habit of being on
the watch for cure-alls.
Not that we should omit treatment of
serious illness, or cease our efforts to
provide what are recognized as specifics
for them. Prompt recognition of the
urgency of case and careful attention
to the prescribed treatment have doubt
less saved many lives.
But to confound a case which is real.
ly deserving of sympathy and careful
treatment with one whose only claim
to attention is that the patient is ''mis-
erable," is highly inexcusable. To
give medicine to such a person may al
most be called a crime, since, as we
have said. drugs are useless and posi-

POLITICS.

As an exhibition of peanut politics moth
ing smaller has occurred than the attempt
to make political capital against Vice Presi-
dent Morton for having employed an Eng
lish coachman. Americans are somewhat
accustomed to exhibitions of this kind, and
when a man is nominated for office they ex-
pect to see his public and private record
p~itilessly ventilated, but the line ought to
be drawn w The color of a mans
underwear and the nationality Of his house

political opponents.
Mr.. Morton had hardly made known his
acceptance Of the Republican nomination
for Governor of New York before the
charge was sprung that he had violated the
alien contract labor law by importing an
English coachmap. The charge was no
sooner made public than an immigration
inspector left Washington with a warrant
signed by the Secretary of the Treasury for
the coachman's arrest. The arrest was
made and the man was turned over to the
| custody of the commissioner Of immigration,
who placed him under surveillance prepara-
tory to sending him back to England. An

ury for the mans discharge on the ground

provisions OF this act shall not apply to
professional actors, lecturers or singers, nor
to persons employed strictly as personal
or domestic servants" A coachman is
nothing IL not a domestic servant. He Is
as much so as a butler, a cook or a
chamhermaid. If not a domestic servant,
what is he? AS to the manner Of the mans
employment Mr.. Morton says:
Howard has been constantly in my serv-
ice since May, 1894. / having employed him
as coachman in London. When l left Lon
don for the continent, having no further
use for his service there, he came to my
home here and has since been in my en-
plOyment at Rhinec.iff. His duties are con-
fined entirely to services rendered to my
family. / regarded him as a household
servant and as one falling within the excep-
ton of the law.
Tt has been a common occurrence for per-
sons visiting Europe to hire and bring back
domestic servants of different kinds, and
it has been held that such cases do not
come under the prohibition Of the law.
Nobody knew this better than the immi-
grafton officers at New York and Secretary
Carlisle. but they could not resist the temp
tation of trying to make a point against
Mr.. Morton. 1t is a characteristic example
of Democratic campaign methods.
