MAN WITHOUT a BRAIN.
Remarkable Case of John bly,, Who
Retained His Faculties After the
Brain Was Gone.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Whliamsport, Jan. 22.-Dr. S. S. koser,
of this city has made a remarkable dis
covery, which will be a theme for dis
cussion among medical men throughout
the country. His knife has revealed a
medical wonder, in which man had I'M
impaired faculties without a brain. At
the request of a number of prominent
physicians of Philadelphia DIR. Koser
Sunday evening held a post-mortem ex-
animation of the remains of John BLY, of
Watsontown, who died Friday night
BLY,, who was 20 years of age for long
time suffered with a tumor, which grew
into the very base of the brain and occa-
stoned his death. The growth had a Wis
ible effect upon his brain, and the case
became a curiosity to the medical profess
sion. The tumor was imbedded too deep
operation. 1t was found that the tumor
was nearly as large as a billiard ball 1t
was so located as to demoralize the
nerves of the sight center, and as a
over three years.
The most singular fact developed was
that the entire brain had been followed
out by the action of the tumor The
cavity was at least five inches in length,
and was filled with puS. AN that was
left OF the brain was a thin shell. COM
brain matter gathers into nerves, which
were less susceptible. to the process of
decay: When an lnclsion was made in
the shell the whole mass collapsed.
The circumstances which made the
case almost unprecedented in the annals
of medical science was the manner in
which the patient retained his nationality
and faculties under the circumstances
He had the senses of touch, taste, hear
ing and smell. had very tolerable control
of his locomotor muscles, could talk, and
in fact, was comparatively discommod-
ed in no other way than by the loss Of
vision. His retention of memory was re-
markable. He was able to memorize

Keeping constantly at it, in
bringing fresh goods out to
the sunlight, is what draws
the crowds of buyers to our
store. We always have some
thing new and serviceable to
show them, and they generally
buy,
We have another supply of
the celebrated Premier Egg
Cups, in which eggs are cook
ed and served at table. The
annoyance Of scorched fingers
in opening eggs is avoided,
and the unpleasantness of get
ting aged and odorous eggs in
your glass is reduced to nil.
G. ntlemen dislike trousers
baggy at the knees as much as
a lady abhors a last years hat.
The way to avoid having
baggy trousers is to use a
Trousers Stretcher. Hang up
the garments in the stretcher
at night and they are perfect
in the morning.
Any old thing will kill
reaches, but the best article is
the Patent Roach Trap we
sell. You've been waiting for
them.
Another convenient article
is the Combination Kitchen
Fork, on the end of which is a
hood for removing the pot lids,
Twenty cents takes one.
We have Cups and Saucers
at a dollar a dozen. We have
genuine English Decorated
Coalport Ware, Cups and
Saucers, for after dinner coffee,
tea or chocolate, from IS cents
to $3.50 each. They are
beauties.
The Silver White Flame
Oil Range is marvel and sells
for 81. We would like you to
examine this.

CHEAPEST LABOR.

When the Democrats of the United
States on "A Free Trade Platform We're
telling the workmen what cheap
clothes they would have if the tariff
barriers were chased away, Benz. Har
rison, in one of his most effective
speeches remarked that the CHEAP
clothes would make cheap men. This
statement was predicted on the very
natural inference that under the con
ditions proposed the wearers of the
low priced apparel would come into
labor competition with the makers of
the same. Herein lies the full iustifi.
cation of The Stars endorsement of
the Hilo Tribune's pronounced pro-
test against grinding wages of road
laborers to the finest possible point
and forcing the Native Hawaiians and
the permanent Portuguese colonsts
into a struggle with the predatory
Asiatics. This policy is direct blow
at the neck of the bulk of the citizen
ship of the Islands. Reduce the Por-
tuguese and the Hawaiians, together
with the American and European lab
orers to the level of the Asiatics and
the country is without the middle
class or the prospect of having or
maintaining any such essential ele-
ment. As surely as Free Trade cheap
clothes will make cheap men i'm the
United States, just as surely will the
cheapest possible labor make a cheap
and mean citizenship in Hawaii There
is factor of the artificial in protect
ed commerce, so must there be the
same in a labor that it is sought to
elevate to the profit and advancement
of the State.

One of the Cingalese now in Homo

nationality as Irish" The obliging
clerk so inscribed the particulars on
the register and released "Mr. win
Jams" on Sc cash bail.
This morning "Mr. Williams" ac-
companied by a friend, appeared at
the station and informed the Deputy
Marshal that he would not appear in

preferred losing SO to the disgrace o.
appearing in court" Another reason
was that if he went into court the
newspapers might hear of the matter.

The Hilo Tribune should be supplied

81 am 81 years of age, and until
was nigh onto fifty years old,
I was always well and peart,
then for a long while and until
last February, suffered with
Indigestion and could not eat
anything hardly at all. My
daughter, who lives in the city,
sent me some of Ripans Tabules,
told me how to take them, and
and they have completely cured
me. My wife is now troubled
with the same complaint, and

The Tribune does not desire tC
throw single straw in the path of
road building on this island, but it
does object to having the labor eN-
pended upon them wrung from the
people below its value. 81 day is
little enough to pay good Portuguese
and native labor, and none other but
good labor should he employed. Jap
anese and Chinese labor must be eX-
cluded from Government work.
