hockdule, incorporated under Tin. ts,nei al
law, has enacted as u part Of Its urtli-
rance the Stale law upon simple assault
ana hmt,ery. and the prosecution II under
these ordinances. There is no conflict in
any manner between the State law and
tho ordinances. The question then. fore
is simply this Can city SO incor-

persons violating such ordinanccsY 1t

Peculiar Fish.

While the Claudine was at anchor of
Kipahoulu, Maui, on Friday morning,
a fish different from anything ever seen
on the Islands was caught by one of
the native boys. 1t was brought down
yesterday morning and placed on ex-
hibition in the Hollister Drug Co.
The fish is about fourteen inches
Dong from tip to tip, and five inches
from the fin on the back to one under
meath. The head is chub-like and the
mouth shows three teeth in front, two
in the upper and one in the lower jaw.
1t is light green in color, with two red
stripes running on either side from the
gill TO the tail. There are red stripes
around the gills which meet at the
top and extend down the back
The fish was seen by number of
people on Maui, as well as here, but
as yet no one could be found who had
ever seen anything like it.

A FRANK STATEMENT.
Mrs. Il. C. Peterson. of Fairhaven,
Tells Reporter OF Her Re-
cent Illness and Cure.

From the Herald, Fairhaven, Wash.
Mrs. R. C. Peterson, of Fairhaven,
who has been for a number of years
sufferer from nervous prostratiOn,
rheumatism and female weaknesses,
and who has lately entirely recovered
therefrom, was called upon a few days
ago by a Herald representative whose
attention had been called to her case.
In answer TO an inquiry, Mrs. Peterson
said: yes, l was sufferer for many
years from nervous attacks, rheuma-
tism and other complaints We, my
husband and l, expended a large sum
of money in visiting the celebrated doc
tors of Denver, Salt Lake City and
San Francisco, but my relief in all
cases was only temporary, and we had
nearly despaired Of my ever recovering
my health, when, one day a friend adj
vised Dr. Williams Pink Pills, saying
they had known of case very similar
to mine, where a wonderful cure had
been effected by their use.
Acting upon this advice my huS-
band purchased a supply of the Pink
Pills, more to please my friend than
from any belief in the medicine. How
ever before they were half gone l felt
decided change for the better, and
after using three walls was entirely
recovered, and felt as we'll and strong
as l ever did.
Or. Williams Pink Pills have GER
tainly been a wonderfully effective
remedy for me, and | have no hesitancy
in recommending them to any one who
is affected as l was"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not
looked upon as patent medicine, but
rather as prescription. An analysis
of their properties shows that they
contain, in condensed form, all the ele-
ments necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves. They are an unfailing
specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, ST. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism
nervous headache, the after effects of
la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations, and the tired
feeling resulting from nervous pros
tration, all diseases resulting from
vitiated humors in the blood, such as
scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also specific for troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, irreg
ularities, and all forms of weakness.

Annual Meeting yesterday Re-

the funds came-many little envelopes,
some larger pledges and gifts and the
Woman's Time $4,000 and the two en-
dowment funds of $500 and $500 an
nually.
The historical report of the years
work was made by Mrs. H. n. Castle.
