IN THE BEGINNING

OF the new year, when the winter sea-
son of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be-
gins to break down, that the least ex-
posure threatens sickness. 1t is then,
as we'll as at all other times; and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: That Hoods Sarsaparilla
leads everything in the way of medi-
cines; that it accomplishes the great
est cures in the world, and requires the
largest building in the world devoted
exclusively to the preparation Of the
proprietary medicine. Does not this
conclusively prove, if you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine for
you to take?

OWNER OF THE BONES.
Stolen from Chinese Club House.
En- Route to China.

There we're tears in the eyes of
All Chun yesterday afternoon as
he walked YEARLY into the police
station and asked for the bones of
his relatives. He had been search
ing the town over for a certain
black valise in which were stored
the bones OF his brother and
cousin. He was going away on
the Coptic and it was imperative
that he get the bones. The police
station was his last resort and
such it proved, for he was imme-
diately locked up.
About a fortnight ago Officer
Needham found black bag label
ed Dynamite" at the corner of
Fort street and Chaplain lane.
Upon opening it two complete
skeletons were found. These were
taken to the police station and
since that time the police have
Deen after the man who dug up
the. bones.
Nothing was found out about
the matter until yesterday.
Following is All Chun's story:
&" 1 came down from Kauai some
time ago and brought the valise of
bones, intending to take them
home to China, according to the
custom of my people. [ took 1t
into our club house on Hotel street
and left it, thinking it was perfect
ly safe there. Upon returning l
found the valise gone and have
been searching for it ever since"
1t is presumed that some one
took the valise thinking it con-
tanned valuables, and finding moth
ing but bones dropped it on the
street after labelling it dynamite for
a joke.
Wong Chan and Wong Kun are
the two Cinnamon who saw All
Chun take the bones into the club
house.
The law in regard to protection
of places of sepulture reads as

legal right to do SO, shall wilfully
dig up, disinter, remove or convey
away any human body from any
burial place, or shall knowingly
aid in such disinterment, removal
or conveying away, every such
offender and every person accessory
thereto, either before of after the
fact, shall be punished by imprison-
ment at hard labor for not more
than two years or by fine not
exceeding $1,000"

TREE PLANTING ON MoLoKAI.
Nurseryman Rhodes Leaves for

Nurseryman Rhodes Leaves Tor
the SettIement-TreeS Taken.
Up to the present time the work
of planting trees has not been very
successful on Molokai, but now a
new era has been started and Molo-
kai will have her trees.
H. J. Rhodes, of the Government
Nursery, left by the steamer Moko-
lii yesterday afternoon for the leper
settlement at Kalaupapa and took
with him over twenty-five varieties
of trees that have done we'll on this
and other islands of the group.
Among these were varieties OF
casaurina, acacia, eucalypta and
other hardy trees.
Lumber has already been sent to
Mo1okai for the propagating house,
which will be pushed to completion
in as short a time as possible
Here the seeds will be allowed to
terminate and then transplanted
outside. They will be gradually
acclimated and then distributed fol-
planting all over the. settlement.
Mr.. Rhodes has instructions to
propagate a large number of the
pandanus odaratissima (lauhala)
This plant will do we'll on Molokai.
being fully able to withstand the
salt spray and heavy winds. Thous-
ands will be planted along the
shore, forming a kind of belt.
Trees will be given away to the
people at the settlement for plant
ing purposes. 1t is thought that
prizes will be given to- successful
planters, this method being deemed
a good one by means of which to
stimulate interest in the under
taking.
Mr.. Rhodes will be assisted in the
work by w. Clark, of the settlement
He will be instructed fully in the
work, and will probably have
charge after Mr.. Rhodes leaves
That gentleman will be gone about
month.

of this type have had great Weakness for
falling over on one side aud playing other
unnatural pranks In any breeze above a

extreme lightness and the fact that tho
anchor has been placed directly below tho

A FINE CONTEST.
The Grays Defeat the Fall Rivers al In
ianiry Hall.

laniry Hall.
Providence put up a slick article OF
polo last night against the braves from
Fall River. Their playing was an Inn
provement on what they have been Civ
ing and was no doubt somewhat due TO
the presence OF |Menard, who made his
first appesrsh ce OF the season. While he
played a fast game it was very evident
that he W III need considerable practice TO
become himself. His passing to Pierce
from one end OF the rink on rebound TO
front of goal was worked once during
the evening aud Pierce made some pretty
passes for Menard TO handle. When these
two get into trim they will be the fastest
pair in the league, their first nights
work, showing 1t. or the seven goals
secured Menard got four OF them, with
one period of the. surface, Pierce, the
other three. The game started of with
Pierce taking the first rush and after
some criss-cross passing by the braves
Russell csging the ball. Mensrd took the
pass and one worked from the csnter.
woodtke scraped the next one In the
goal In 35 seconds, while Pierce, meeting
the ball on the side OF the rink lifted IL
and scored the last OF the period. The
second period Menard laid on,giving way
to McPeck, thus saving himself for the
last part OF the game. Fall River opened
mp In hot style and played for all they
were worth, intent on getting strong
lead. Russell Gagged the first one In the
corner OF the goal and four seconds after
that Pierce carried the ball from the spot
and covered 1t up in network. Big Tom
Cotter got the. next goal on an easy drop
from the side. Russell scraped the last
one In, making the score to 4 In favor
OF Fall River. rhe last period MeDard
made the first goal after Deiug on the sur
fsce 40 seconds. Then the two Providence
rushers got &C their old tricks again and
scored three times, leaving II at TO 8
when the time was up. Cornell got in on
this period long enough to catch a foul.
