DOCTORS TO DINE AND TOAST.
Grand Banquet Tonight to Local
and Visiting Physicians.
InItiatory Step Toward Formation OF
Annual COnvention-CIOser Union
of Medical Men Desired

Arrangements will be completed
today for a grand banquet to be
given at the Pacific Club tonight,
as an initiatory step toward the
formation of annual conventions Of
physicians practicing on the ISL
ands.
For long time it has been the
intention of local phys icians to in
stitute such annual meetings for
the closer union Of medical men in
their all-important vocation. 1t is
certain that benefits will ac-
crue from free and friendly inter
change of ideas on various medical
subjects pertaining to diseases
found on the islands, and which
must tend to the ultimate inter-
ests of all.
With this fact in view local ply
sicians, encouraged by the COM
mendation of many others, have
gone to work with renewed energy
and they naturally expect victory
for their pains.
About twenty-five members of
the Board of Health, local and
physicians from the other islands,
will be present tonight.
A toastmaster will be requested
today to preside. A number of
toasts will be given. Some of them
will dwell on the advantages Of the
annual convention and be made by
prominent physicians.
Said one Of the committee on
arrangements yesterday, "Our aim
is to get physicians acquainted
with each other. We want to
shake the hand Of every one with
a genuine grip of interest in the
close union of the medical frater-
nifty. We will make a start in the
right direction tonight. When
next year comes and a convention
is called, We have no fear of the
outcome"

Whites and Natives Attacked by the
Disease-Quarantine.

1t was learned from a prominent
resident of Hilo, who arrived by
the Kinau Tuesday, that scarlitina
is raging in his home city. Many
children, both white and native,
have been attacked by the epi-
demic. It has been found neces-
sary to institute rigid quaran-
tine. On account of the news
many persons who intended going
to Hilo have changed their minds
and will remain until the danger
is over.
In this connection it was learned
that the natives in Hilo have re-
sorted to a dangerous method of
avoiding quarantine, of which they
stand in mortal terror.
Instead Of calling on physician
for treatment, they hide themselves
and resort to their own modes,
which consists of an ava wad
chewed to a pasty consistency and
plastered on portions Of the body
affected.

LONDON, May 3.-It ia officially an
nounced that as a result OF the com
munications between the Earl OF
Kimberly, Secretary OF State for For
eign Affairs, Senor Christanto Me
dina, the Salvadorean Minister, act
ing for Nicaragua and American Am
bassador Bayard, the British Govern
ment has agreed If the Nicaraguan
Government addresses a note to Rear
Admiral Stephenson accepting the
terms of the British ultimatum and
undertaking under the guarantee OF
paid in London within n fortnight the
British fleet will leave Corinto. The
other claims Of Great Britain against
Nicaragua will be settled by a joint
committee.
The present Government OF Great
Britain would not view with disfavor
q United States protectorate over the
whole Of Central America. Indeed,
during the present Investigations the
Earl OF Kimberly said that under GER
tain circumstances IL would perhaps
have been better for the United States
to proclaim q protectorate over Cen
tral America and make herself respon-
sible for the acts OF its people.
AMBASSADOR BAYARD vERIFIEs.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Tbe Depart
ment of State received this afternoon
a telegram from Am bassador Bayard,
stating that Great Britain accepted
the guarantee made by Salvador for
the payment OF the indemnity by Nj
caragua in London within "a fortnight,
and as soon as Nicaragua confirms IL
and so informs the British Admiral,
the admiral is instructed TO leave Co
rintO.
The above official statement, given
out at the State Department after 4
o'clock this afternoon, may be re-
garded as chronicliDg the passage OF
the acute phase OF the difficulty be-
tween Great Britain and Nicaragua,
which at one time, perhaps, threat
ened to involve the United States It
cannot be doubted that Nicaragua will
promptly confirm the arrangement,
and theBritish feet will leave Corinto
as soon as notice Of the action OF the
British Foreign Office can be com
municated to Admiral Stephenson,
which, by the way, might be sooner
had not the Nicaraguans purposely
interrupted the communication by
cable directly between the foreign
Office and the admiral.
MOSQUITO RESERVATION 40 MORE.
WAsHINGToN, May 3.-The Near
aguan Government has done away
with the Mosquito reservation, which
has been the cause Of so much trouble,
and incorporated 10 as q State OF Nj
caragua with the Department Of Ze-
laya, after the President of the Repub-
lie. This action has been officially
communicated to the State Depart
ment.
The significance OF the movement
has attracted little public attention,
but it is stated by officials that IL in
wolves greater complications than the
armed occupation of Corinto. Now
that that the latter crisis is passed,
officials are turning their attention to
what Great Britain will do towards
Nicaragua's course in creating the
new State, and thus indirectly termin-
ating all British authority or Influence
in the old Mosquito country.

Gastrialigia and Congestion Of the Liver
the Cause.
WAsHINGToN, May 3.-Secretary Of
State Gresham is seriously i'll. That
there is immediate danger is denied
by his physician, DIR. Krogstad, who
says the secretary is doing very well.
He describes the complaint as gastri-
ALICIA, with congestion of the liver.
The patient suffers at times extreme
pain. Mr.. Gresham's temperature to-
night was quite satisfactory, indicat-
ing very little fever.
The secretary has had several like
attacks since his residence here. He
was taken on Tuesday last with severe
pain in his stomach, which increased
TO intense agony, affecting his nerv-
Gus system and leaving him weak.
Restless days and nights followed, so,
although he is regarded as having i'm
proved somewhat, his condition causes
alarm. A similar attack about two
months ago was much less severe than
this.
Absolute rest is regarded as impera-
tive, and orders have been given that
no business from the state department,
however important, shall be brought
TO him, although he has been told OF
the peaceful outcome OF the Nicara-
guam situation. He expressed his
great satisfaction at the news, and at
the fact that il had come 10 him when
be had felt that he was going to be
laid up for some time.

The stone Forests in Arizona.

The regions of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifications. whole forests
being found in some places which are
hard as flint. but which look as IL but
recently stripped of their foliage. Some
of these stone trees are standing just
as natural as life, while others are
piled across each other just like the
fallen monarchs OF real wood forest
biologists say that these stone trees
were once covered to the depth of 1000
feet with mari. which transformed
them from wood TO solid rock. This
mari. after a lapse of ages, washed
out. leaving some OF the trees standing
in an upright position. The majority
OF them. however, are piled helter-skel-
ter in all directions. thousands or cords
being sometimes piled up on an acre
OF ground.

cred In Other Game.
| From the Washington Post
A great many people in Washington
| know old John Jacobs, the good ma
| tured and lengthy Texan who spends
about three months of the year in
in Texas and Old Mexico trapping
mockingbirds, parrots and other things
for his Washington principal. Those
who know Jake" know him as a ra-
contour Of no mean ability, but IL is
probable that not many have got
against the literary end of his ability
Such of his friends, and the genial
Jake, as has been said, has many of
them. win be interested in communi-
cation received from him yesterday by
Mr.. Schmid. By way of explanation it
may be said that while Jacobs went
down to Texas some months ago, prin-
cipally to get quail and mockingb birds,
he had promised, If possible, to send
back something clad in fur as we'll as
feathers. just to prove that he was
equal to handling darge game when
necessary.
The letter deals mostly with the busi-
ness part of the expedition, but there
is a chapter devoted to telling how the
writer did not capture a catamount.
This is a literary gem and is repro
duced without addition oS emendation:
just gu OdCh Oil my quail Trip,
gone nine days, got 40 quail, went way
down on the border the widest coun-
try 1 ever saw and 4 have seen some
wilds before. But that country takes
the Cake. Wild Cats, Catimounts, Pan
theirs, Wolves. and what not / had a
dog with me and he treed the biggest
Catimount I ever saw.
~ said to myself that would be the
very thing for Ed to have for a winder
decoration. so I told the Mexican I
had with me to chunk him out and /
would rope him. i tied my pony to
tree and took down my rope and the
Mex dubbed him out by the time he
hit the dirt and made two or three
jumps ] had my twine on him. When
the rope frightened on him he made one
scream and turned on me, and in less
than the time 1t takes me to make one
letter he had my shirt tore off and
most of the hide. i had a pistol on,
but didn't have time to get it. i need
ed another hand; it's the first time 1
ever knew 1 was shy one hand. 1t
took the two had to keep the sun OF
a gun out of my face.
'"The Mex took in the situation and
run in with a knife and cut the rope
and jerked II Off OF me and the Old
Catimount went cyoting into the woods
with part of my lariat to him. He can
have 1t: 1 don't want IL. II not dis
pute his claim to ii nor try to rope
another catimount with the piece I've
got left. About the time the cattle
was doing me j wished I was back
feeding mocking birds in Washington.
Il asked the Mex why he didn't stick
his knife into the thing, but he said
the cat and me was mixed up so he
couldn't tell us apart and he was
afraid he would get his billet doux into
the wrong animal. I've been longing
TO hunt a drug store and some vaciline
ever since"

MONKEYS HAVE MINDS.



From the Utica Observer.
That the monkey possesses inteili-
sence to a considerable degree is prob
aoiy true. said a hotel proprietor who
., mas small menagerie on his premises.
4 Deileve. however, much OF the INTEL
iigence with which that animal is cred
ited Is due to his love OF mimicry. The
otner day two young men with two
girls were at the monkeys cage feed
ing MN peanuts. One of the girls was
chewing gum and one of the men sug-
gested that she give the monkey some.
expecting that IL he took 1t in his
mouth II would stick to his teeth and
ne would make sorry work of trying to
chew Ii. The girl at once parted with
the sweet morsel she was so indus
triousiy chewing, extending 1t toward
the cage. The monkey grabbed 1t in
stantly and put 1t into his mouth, but
instead Of chewing it, or attempting
70, began pulling II out in small rib
pons. as children are frequently seen
to do. When he had 1t all out of his
mouth he rolled II into a compact ball
between his hands, threw 1t into his
mouth and began the operation again.
He appeared to enjoy the performance
as much as his visitors That was imi-
tation."
That's all right" rejoined another,
'ibut 1 had an experience with the
same monkey wherein he displayed in
telligence. i was by the cage smoking
one day. and thought to annoy him
by blowing smoke in his face. / was
much surprised to find that, instead of
being annoyed, he enjoyed 1t, as was
evidenced by his edging up as near me
as possible to receive the smoke in
large volumes. Soon he began scratch
ing himself at the point where most of
the smoke came against him. When 1
had smoked one side for a few minutes
he would turn squarely around to have
the other side treated in the same way.
Then he sat up directly in front of me
and received the smoke squarely in
the face and neck / don't know
whether he held his breath, but he did
not cough. sneeze or vince a particle.
To complete the job he then sat with
his back toward me, and 1t would have
done you good to have seen him throw
his hind feet over his back and scratch.
1t made me think of the kickers of a
tedder in motion. Now that monkey
knew. through some sort of intelli-
gence. that nothing will send fieas and
other insects to the surface or stupefy
them as effectually as tobacco smoke"
