THE problem Of the Chinese doc
tors is a knotty one for the Board
of Health, and a matter they had
best approach with caution and
handle with care. 1t is pretty late
liz the day now to ascend the scale
of positiveness and take the bull by
the horns. The Chinese patient
named his doctor, had his attention
and died. He might have died
anyhow. There is only one point
real clear. This is that this partic-
ular doctor seemed unacquainted
with Hawaiian cholera and to lack
familiarity with the modes OF treat
ment in vogue at the hospital. He
may be an excellent Chinese
physician for all that, and no spec
ial standard can be justly established
at this time without radical change
in the law and regulations. The
entire subject of licensing practi-
TONERS is one that should be gone
into most thoroughly. Community

demand it.

This paper did state that the S. S.
China touched at Yokohama. She
brought no mail from that place to
this port. 1t is learned that two
cabin passengers for Honolulu were
taken on at Yokohama. These
gentlemen, one a Japanese mer-
chant, the other Russian traveller,
are now here. They came ashore
under official supervision. For
reasons regarded by the authorities
and carriers as good and sufficient,
favor is extended to cabin passen-
gers as against those coming
steerage.

THE WORLD "DO MOVE"

Then and Now" is the caption
OF what may be termed the political
leader in the Hawaiian magazine
for September, put forth few days
ago. This is the first partisan
diatribe of the Hawaiian THE
STAR has considered should be
noticed. Mr.. Hayne, editor OF
the periodical, is out of the coun-
try now, but has responsible agents
here and, as the writer believes,
will soon return to the Islands.
himself. 1t is the desire OF this
paper to avoid any possibility OF
the charge of unfairness in discus
sion. Then and Now" is an ar
ticle of fourteen pages, mostly mis-
representations and misstate-
ments, signed A. M. Henderson.
This name is fictitious. "Hender-
son" blames the present govern
mental regime for every ill of the
country from the disappearance OF
sandal-wood and the whaling fleet
down to the appearance of coffee
blight and taro-patch cholera. He
says the death-blow to the
"old unanimous feeling" was
given when the Spreckels' en-
terprises brought in a lot Of
malahinis who worked for wages
and engaged in business. This was
in 1884. Then Henderson" de-
votes pages to arguing that times
have changed. This is the case all
over the world, Mr.. H. Good
times, like youth, never return.
The man who knows that there is
time aud movement knows this and
stores up not only against a rainy
day, but in expectation of even real
Billiards. All over the big world
rich and poor alike sigh hopelessly
for the "good old times" Condi-
tons in Hawai- have changed, OF
course. No power could prevent
it. Conditions in the United States
I'd Japan have changed. But all
this is in the discolored abstract
with Mr. Henderson. He avoids
I lie concrete. The HaWaiian writ
er's abuse of individuals and institu-
lions is that of poltroon under
cover. He conjures up fault with
the judiciary and civil service that
simply cannot and does not exist.
The charge that the mail of certain
persons has been tempered with Is
a black falsehood. And it is of a |
piece with scores OF other statements
in the article. No journal will be
reader than THE STAR to criticise
the Government when shortcom-
ings are evident. But matter OF the |
class the Hawaiian permits to be
uttered is disgrace to type.

this letter, we telegraphed John Bla-
mer, at the New Martinsville telegraph
Office. on Tuesday, as follows:
Mrs. Blamer dead. Instruct regard
ing remains. If sent home have eX-
press agent guarantee charges stating
amount"
In the course of a few hours we re-
ceived a response to this message as fol-
lows:
Forward Mrs. Blamer's remains
here; first express. Money deposited
(SignedJ 'H. KooNTZ."
In answer to this we again wired:
"Undertaker's charges must be guaran-
teed, stating limit" To which we re-
ceived the following signed by Mr..
Koontz: "Undertaker's charges are
guaranteed not to exceed trirty-five dol
lars" We therefore sent the remains
by express Wednesday afternoon.
Thursday afternoon We received a tele-
gram from II. KoontZ: Corpse you
sent here is not Mrs. Blamer. Will
return corpse first train" The corpse
arrived this afternoon and with it a
letter from the agent saying that the
wife of Mr.. Blamer Of Green Hill, is
about seventy years of age, whilst this
corpse appears to be that of a person
aged thirty-five or forty. Since the
corpse was sent away, we have re-
ceived a letter addressed to Mrs. Sarah
z. Blamer Weston, Lewis county, w.
1off D, in ho
Office in Weston for several days and
was advertised October I'd. 1t remain
ed in the Office, we presume, because
the party addressing it had failed to
address in care of the Hospital This
letter is from a sister of Mrs. Blamer's
named Kate Wright, and her postoffice
is North Mountain. W. Va We have
telegraphed Mrs Wright for instruc-
tons regarding the burial of her sister,
but have as yet received no answer.
I regret very much that this mistake
has occurred, but it appears TO me we did
the only thing possible, as there is abso-
lutely no record of the case, other than
what | have given you in this communi-
cation. We are now at d loss to under
stand how John Blamer. of Wetzel coun-
", supposed his wife an inmate of the
Hospital. There must be a record here OF
every case that was ever admitted, and
no other woman named Blamer has at
any time been a patient In the Hospital.
We wonder If patient from Wetze coun-
~ could bear a name so nearly identical
with Blamer that in writing or telegraph
ing him and using the name Blamer he
could suppose that il was a mistake of
the writer or the telegraph operator. and
referring 10 his own name, which was
similar TO Blamer.
A careful examination Of the records.
however, show that no person bearing a
name similar enough to Blamer to create
this mistake has been in the Hospital at
any time. We have dictated letter to
Mr.. Blamer at Green Hill and one to Mr..
Koontz, the agent at New Martinsville,
requesting further information which
may disclose TO us how he has made the
mistake of surprising that his wife is an
inmate of the Hospital.

that he was more than pleased with the

In yesterdays Register was published
a telegram from Weston, stating briefly
the facts in connection with shipment
Of the remains of Sarah E. Blamer to
New Marttnsyille. Yesterday a letter
was received from DR.. Crumbacker, Civ
ing a concise history of the case. The
letter proves that the Oflcils at the
Hospital for the Insane are not to be
blamed in the matter, as they followed
The usual course in cases of death at tbs
institution. The error was no doubt
due TO a similarity in names, as sug-
gested by DR.. Crumbacker. The name
Of the gentleman 10 whom the body
was sent N New Martinsville is
Blair, while the dead woman's name
was "Blamer. Mr.. Blair's mother has
been a patient at the Hospital.
Considering Dr. Crumbacker's state
ment that the telegram was addressed
to John Blamer, and it appearing that
it was delivered to Joseph Blair, it
would seem that the responsibility for
the mistake rests upon some person in
New M1vtinsviile. 1t is a peculiar fact,
however, dhat DR.. Crumbacker does not
once refer 10 Mrs. Blair, even using the
name of Mrs. Blamer in the telegram
sent by Mr.. KOontz, the New Martins
vile agent. He does not indicate, in
his communication, that there is in the
hospital such a patient as Mrs. Blair,
from Wetzel county.
Following is the letter of DR.. Crum-
hacker:
Weston, w. Va, October (, 1895.
To the Editor of the Register.
Gentlemen:-I received your tele-
gram this evening inquiring how the
wrong corpse happened TO be shipped
to New Martinsville. A female pa
tient named Sarah E. Blamer died in
the hospital on Monday, September
30th. Referring to the records, we find
the following:
Case No. 2,573. Sarah E. Blamer,
Morgan county, admitted October Is,
1883, date OF deposition September &C.
1888: age. thirty years; born in Wash
ingtOn county, Nd. Married; four
children, three living. Housekeeper
Good habits. Indications six years.
Hallucinations, excitement. depression
hatred to those nearest her increases
at first exacerbations, Authorizations
now constant; many subjects, hatred
to husband, a belief that she is in con-
slant communication with Christ, be-
lief that friends are enemies; suppos-
ed cause, religious excitement; violent
to herself and others; watched; seven
months ago had a child"
This is a note made of the case
when admitted to the hospital. There
is no other record and no address OF
any Of her relatives On the record. We
referred TO our copy books and found
the following letter:
John Blamer. Esq, Green Hill, WetZel
county. w. Va:
