MAIL HAWAIIAN ADVlCES
Efforts Being Made to Discover Means tt
Eradicate Leprosy.
Favorable Sentiment Toward the
ported Torture of Prisoners.

Mail advices from Hawaii state that the
government authorities have communicated
with DR.. Albert D. Hale of Chicago with
a view to having him take charge Of the
government experimental laboratory for
tie discovery of means to eradicate leprosy
DR.. Hale visited Hawaii some time ago,
and expressed a desire to undertake the
meteorological experiments under govern
ment direction. and 1t is in pursuance of
this plan that the health department has
submitted a proposal which, 1t is believed,
he will accept. The }epers on the Island of
Molakai have organized brass band, and
Admiral Beardslee, in command of the
United States ship Philadelphia, is taking
an active interest in their efforts. In Or
der to secure instruments for the lepers
concert was given at Honolulu, and Ad-
mral Beardslee rendered the services of
the Philadelphia's band for the occasion.
The Hawaiian sentiment toward the
United States is shown by the annual ban
quet and election of the National Guard.
The stars and stripes were on either side,
las defenses'' to the Hawaiian flag. The
music OF the event was Marching Thro'
Georgia." Rally Round the Flag" and
Star Spangled Banner" as finale.
The Hawaiian legislature Is expected to
convene next month and frame laws as to
passports and lands.
No TOrturIng of Prisoners.
In order to set at rest reports of torture
inflicted on Capt. Davis as a result of the
recent insured ton. Davis has furnished
the following affidavit witnessed by two
persons. After reciting the reports the
affidavits states:
II wish to set at right such a fearful
prevarication and denounce the whole thing
as most Internal falsehood Not one of
the tortures enumerated was practiced
upon myself nor upon any other prisoner.
On the contrary, the government from the
first has treated me with the utmost fair
ness and justice. and my confession to the
authorities relative to the landing of arms
was made freely and not after having been
subjected to tCrtufe. 1 make this state
ment. believing it only fair that such an
lmputation against a government that has
dealt as fairly and leniently with me and
all other prisoners has the Hawaiian
government should be denied by one who is
best able to do So.'
The Hawaiian government has been ask
ed To adopt the Krag-Jorgensen rifle, now
in use by the United States.

Fish with human Teeth.

From the ST. Louis GlObe-DeinOcrat.
At an early hour Monday night a dis
reputable-looking dog wandered into City
Undertaken jeremiah Sheehans Office on
11th street, near Walnut street, having in
his mouth head as big as a baby's, with
glaring white teeth, but no body. Assist
ant Undertaken John Sheehan. who has
become used to handling corpses as a
whole, but who draws the line on disin-
tegrated cadavers, fell off his chair, and
the dog fled from the room, leaving the
grsly object behind.
Investigation proved that 1t was the head
of a monster fish, with full set of hu-
man front teeth. Every ivory was perfect,
and the set, twelve in number-six above
and six below-was f1anked on. each side by
eye teeth, whose shape and composition
could not be mistaken. The head, which
was very large, had been severed from the
body, and the dog had evidently secured
1t from some slop barrel before Col. Ed.
Buffers minions took charge of it. Tho
head appeared to be a cross between that
of a sea horse and a buffalo fish, and the
presence of the teeth. which protruded
from plainly defined lips. quite different
from any ever seen on an ordinary fish,
gave 1t most uncdtlny appearance. On
the inside of the mouth was the usual num-
ber of fish teeth" which looked more like
ivory than those usually seen, and were
blunter. The fish entire probably weighed
forty pounds. Where it was caught, where

dog secured the head are points which the
inquisitive must learn for themselves.
Deputy Bull does not pretend to know. He
only knows that he will have it mounted
by a taxidermist and preserved at his
home.
DR.. Atkinson took charge of 1t and gave
talk on 1t before the faculty of the Mar
ion Sims Medical College and the visiting
physicians, who dined at the Planters.
The freak was pronounced both remarkable
and genuine.

G. w. ChilGs' Courtesy.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
There was another amiable soul whom I
saw only when he was under the blankets.
That was George w. Childs. 1t was very
late. and he had been to bed a long time. 1
fully expected that the answer to my card
would be. Tell him to go to Jerichov' But
instead of that there was a cordial invita-
ton to the gentleman to come up, If he
would excuse Mr.. ChiIds for being in bed"
The gentleman thought he might concede
that much. Mr.. Childs was sitting I'D. and.
with bis chubby face crowned by a Kilmar-
nock nightcap, looked as funny as
brownie and as amiable as Mr.. Pfckwick
He put on his spectacles to look at me.
and said, laughing: You are very enter
prising. I like enterprise. I am very fond
of the newspaper boys. Why shouldn't I
be? They have made my little paper what
It is"
After we had talked over the business
matter on which had called, the good old
man chatted about national affairs and one
thing and another, and thanked me for
having permitted him to be interviewed

SMALLPOX OVER.
Altogether the District Got Through
Better Than Other Places

Altogether the District Got Through
Better Than Other Places.
The smallpox hospital is now without an
occupant, the lest of the patients being the
colored man Butler and one of his children,
who left the hospital today and went home.
AS soon as these patients left the building
workmen were on the ground to begin the
preliminary work on the new building. The
smallpox epidemic started here early in the
season, the first patient being admitted TO
the hospital on the 21st of October. When
the first case was reported Health Officer
Woodward took every precaution possible
against the spread of the disease. and 1t Is
thought saved the city from a severe cpl
demic. When the disease made its appear
ance in the departments it was feared that
the deaths would be very numerous. but
most OF the patients went to the hospital
willingly and lessened the danger to a great
extent.
Between the 21st of October and the 18th
Of March there were ifty-one cases looked
after by the health office officials, thirty
two colored and nineteen white. There
were only eight deaths, six colored and two
white. m these statistics is included -he
case of Mary Motion. colored, who contract
ed the disease here and died in Virginia.
1t Is estimated that the cost Of taking
care Of the victims and preventing the
spread Of the disease will amount to about
$4,000.
Washington was particularly fortunate
as compared with most other, cities where
the disease made its appearance, and the
physicians generally think this is due to the
efforts made by Health Officer Woodward
1t is conceded that the smallpox regulations
do not give the health officer much author
ity. but DIR. Woodward realized that some
thing was necessary beyond what was pre-
scribed in the law, and he did 1t without
getting the department into trouble. In
several other cities where the smallpox
broke out this winter the epidemic is still
raging and hundreds of persons have died.
1t is thought that the death rate here was

Once, of Course.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
He was a young author, and as he did
not live by his pen, the belief of himself
and his friends in his genius remained un-
shaken. 1t was said that he drew his char
acters from life. fact which in no wise
diminished his popularity with the fair sex.
One afternoon he called upon the prettiest
girl in his set, and, after greeting her, said {:
Miss Edith. I have ventured to bring
you a little story of mine. in which hope
YOU will take some slight interest. The
fact is. have drawn you as my heroine

Excellent, you mean, sarcastic man! OF
course, Angela Is my friend, though we are
SO different. l am devoted to her. but I
can't help seeing that she Is selfish and
vain.''
"oh, Miss Edith, you"
"Oh, you needn't deny it. Even Angela
can't fail to recognize it, and l do hope
that it will do her good to see her faults
described so plainly. I'm sure I should
know myself at once in her place. for 1
make it a point never to ignore my own
faults
"Oh, Miss Edith, l.
"Oh, yes; 1 don't wonder that you would
rather not confess that it is she, after
showing her to be such a little cat. So
this is the magazine with the story in

am quite excited! Hand me the paper

"Oh, Miss Edith, really L"
"Yes. and you must read it to me your

But that is just what Mr.. Penandink
