Death OF an Cd Servant.

When James |. Dowsett rar
.schooners to the South Sea islands
in the.latter part of the sixties one
charter was for laborers. In one
batch was middle-aged man
named Hukia and his wife. Direct
ly they landed they were taken
under contract toSamuel G.Wilder
Hukia proved a valuable yardman
and the wife an excellent servant.
Hukia varied his duties occasion
ally by acting as special protector
for daughter of Mr.. Wilder's,
who was then but few months
old. At the expiration of his con-
tract the man returned to his home
on Manahiki island, but he had
proven himself such trustworthy
man, and the little child had be-
come so attached to him, that a few
months later Mr.. Wilder chartered
a schooner, dispatched 1t to, the
island and brought him back and
installed him as head yardman,
and for twenty-six years he served
the family faithfully. Declining
years untitled him for hard work,
and lately he has driven the car
riage for Mrs. Wilder.
A week ago he was taken i'll and
grew worse until yesterday, when
he died. He was buried from the
house of a friend on Hotel street,
to which he had gone a few days
ago. The funeral was conducted
by Rev. H. H. Parker and the
interment took place at Makiki.

AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE
Wirth's Tent Crowded Twice on
SATURDAY..

The management of this popular
combination kept faith with the
public and the spirit of their prom
Uses, that exceptionally good pro-
grams would be presented at after
noon and evening performances
and that children would be admit
ted to the afternoon performance,
to all parts of the tent, for 10 cents.
Long before the time announced of
opening the doors a dense crowd
gathered around, each individual
intent upon getting an early pick
at the choice seats, as the manage
ment had decided that first come
first served would be the rule, and
by the time for opening the crowd
reached far on both sides of the
entrance. Even from the outside
it was treat to see the happy
faces of the little ones, but that was
nothing compared to witnessing
the expressions of delight and en-
joyment that beamed on every
child's countenance during the
whole performance.
In the evening the mammoth
tent was simply a living mass of
humanity, and the programs pre-
sented at each performance were
simply all that could be desired,
and the vast audiences departed
wondering when they would cease
witnessing new features by this
talented company.
Arrangements having been COM
pleted with the Inter-Island S. S.
Company so that they can convey
the circus to Kauai and return in
time to catch the steamer for the
Orient, the circus will, after all,
visit the Garden Island, leaving
Honolulu on Thursday next and
opening at Lihue Friday, conse-
quently the last performances to be
given here will be tonight and
Wednesday night, on which occasi-
ons specially selected programs will
be given. Tonight's entertainment
will terminate, by request, with the
sensational equestrian spectacle
" Dick Turpin's Ride to York"
which was SO admired when pro-
duced during the company's last
visit, and which introduces the
whole of the aggregation and the
excellently trained animal Nellie
in the role of Black Bess.

THE KIDNEYS.
Sensitive. Delicate and Much Abused.
Former Employee of the Batavia Gun
Factory Has Remarkable Escape.

From the News, Batavia, n. Y.
Elias Hoffman, well-known market
gardener of DAVIS, Genesee county, N
Y, has perhaps suffered as much, Il
not more, than any other man in Gen.
esee county. A few years ago Mr.
Hoffman was employed at the gun fac
tory in Batavia, and was obliged to
give up his position there on account OF
i'll health and give his attention to
market gardening, in which business
he is now engaged. A newspaper Te-
porter happened to run across Mr.Hoff-
man a few days ago, and from him
learned of his suffering and from what
source ne had been benefited.
Can you tell me how you received so
much benefit?" the reporter asked.
We'll" said Mr.. Hoffman, cit was sew
eral years ago that commenced to feel
a kidney trouble coming on, and was
running down hill every day, in fact so
fast that in a very short time was un>
able to continue my work at the gun
works, and was obliged to settle down
on my little farm of ten acres and do
days work now and then when l felt
able. 1 suffered everything and tried
about all kinds of medicine, but with
out any relief, and 1 about
gave up trying to be cured months
ago, when a neighbor of mine
months ago when neighbor of mine
came along and asked me if 1 had tried
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and replied
that l had not. He suggested that I
try them, and thought that they would
help my case. / had already heard the
pills highly spoken of, and the first
time l went to Batavia l purchased a.
box and commenced taking the pills ac
cording to directions. had not taken
the first box before could see that the
pills were doing their work, and
continued to take them and grow better
until l was able to do days
work and had thought of taking up my
old job at the gun works; in fact the
pills worked like charm and | would
not be without them" Mrs. Hoffman
spoke in the highest praise of the DIR.
Williams pills, and said that she con-
sidered her husbands life saved by
the little pills that they had put her
husband in position to do work and
himself and family without |
trouble.
The experience of years has proved |
that there is absolutely no disease due
to a vitiated condition of the blood or
shattered nerves that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills will not promptly cure. and
hose who are suffering from such
roubles would avoid much misery and
save money by promptly resorting to
his treatment. Get the genuine Pink
Pills every time and do not be persuad

'emedy from dealer, for the sake of

Trouble at Raiatea.

The barkentine City of Papeete

Tahiti French commissioner ar
rived there and left for Raiatea on
a man-of-war. The natives of Raj

The rage for reading books writ

Perhaps some women may not
be interested in hypnotism. Then
they may omit this paragraph
which will be of interest to many
who have valuables to lose, at least.
A Baltimore physician claims to
have hypnotized his own servant,
presumably an honest man, and to
have made him to go to the office
of a neighboring physician, and
steal all he could lay hands on.
He further asserts that he hypno-
tized bank cashier of Baltimore
to steal $4,000 from bank. We
have read of case that was tried
in court, where man who had
hypnotised another man and made
him commit murder was held re-
sponsible, while the actual doer
was allowed to 60 free, or at any
rate his punishment was very
slight. From such startling proof
of hypnotic power, we must expect
that cases in hypnotism will be a
recognized department in law
study before long.

How do you like to see hypocrit,
cigaret, doctrin, promis, fether, re-
pulsiv, fantom and telegraf ? asks
the Literary World of Boston.
And how would you like to write
such words without the unneces-
sary letters? A number of editors
and college officers and others
have agreed to adopt this new
photography and thus form a great
spelling trust, as it were. 1t will
not call for a new alphabet, it will
not make any new phraseology
requisite, but it is merely a move
toward fonetic spelling, and there.
fore step toward simpler spelling.
The suggestion is more for mer-.
camille uses than for literature.
Are you going to join this trust?

Are you going to join this trust?
We are always wondering how
much the novelist is revealed in
his characters, and in the case of
Thomas Hardy we have an inter
esting item. The New York Trib-
une is authority for the statement
by friend of Hardy's that in Jude
Fawley we see q kind of portrait of
the novelist himself. In some of
the characteristics the resemblance
lies, and especially in some of his
dislikes, but not, of course, in the
story of his career.
Beautiful Trilby Did you de-
eide for yourself whether her infu-
ence was for the bad or not? And
did you sniff at the hypnotism,
and declare that in real life she
never could have been a prima
donna on the stage, and be not
even able to sing Ben Bolt in pri
vate life ? Well, here comes Paris
correspondent with French ply
sician's opinion of the tale. He is
NJ. Brissand, one of the most fam
Gus physicians of the Saltpetrierre,
hospital where all kinds of Curl
Gus cases are treated, and where
they deal with questions of hyp-
notism, suggestion, etc: M. Bris-
sand thinks a Trilby could be
trained to sing hypnotically, but
he does not see how she could lose
a voice, SvengaG ceasing to will,
even one made in that manner.
He questions if voice could
exist without "ear," but granting
that it could, the question is per-
fectly probable.

To turn to something little
less gruesome, do you realize the
great temptation that women have
to waste their energies? They are
interested in everything, but ex-
perts in almost no one subject, too
often. Many a refined, educated
woman mas in her mind model of
the true home life she would choose
for her family, but she lacks en-
ergy, or better, concentration of
energy, to realize her ideal. She
and ali her sisters may well ponder
over the words of the Tennessee
preacher who divided his discourse
into three parts, dealing, first, with

NATURAL FAT.
Getting Fat is Only a Question
 of Eating Proper Food.

Thin people who want to get fat should eat proper food and digest it.
 That Is the only natural way.
 The trouble with most thin people is that they suffer from indigestion.
 They don't digest their food. They don't get enough nourishment. They are slowly being starved. They are poisoned by the products of fermented and putrid food.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial, gentle, natural, vegetable digestive, attacks the food in your stomach just like the digestive juices, and turns it into healthful nourishment. It helps your stomach naturally. It makes thin dys- peptics fat. It makes poisonous blood pure. It tones up and cures the sto- mach.
 Nothing will cure indigestion like Shaker Digestive Cordial because mo- thing else goes so naturally about it.
 This is why it has been so success full in relieving nausea, vomiting, diz- ziness, weakness, bad taste, fever, flat ulence, constipation, loss of appetite, headache, neuralgia, rheumatism etc., by curing the disorder which causes the symptoms
 A few doses will prove its value, but you won't get fat on one bottle. | All druggists. Ten cents for a trial | bottle
