CALLED HOME.
Death OF Charles Williams Yes
terday Morning.

Charlie, the eldest son of Z. A. Will
lianms, died of pneumonia early yester-
day morning at the residence of his
father on King street, near Fort. The
young man, though born here, resided
in San Francisco for about ten years,
returning to Honolulu with his father
about two years ago.
He was bright and active as a young
boy, and his tastes ran toward athletic
sports. When the Hawaiian Circus
opened on Beretania street his services
were secured as a rope walker and
trapeze artist, line in which he met
with considerable success. When the
circus closed he joined the Gonzales
troupe and went with the company to
Kauai. Exposure to the rain resulted in
severe cold, and he returned to his
home for medical treatment. Penumo-
MIA developed almost Immediately and
his case soon became serious, but on
Monday he was much improved, and g
| few hours before he died he smllingly
remarked to a member of the family
that he would soon be ready for an
other trip around the Island on hi:
wheel.
He was of a rather retiring DISPOSE
ton, but popular among large circle
of young friends, who keenly feel tbs
loss of his companionship. His funera
will take place from his fathers resi-
| dence on Thursday at n m Rev H
H. Parker will conduct the services.

A GREAT GAIN TO PHYSICIANS.
Medical Results of Late Improve
ments in the ROentgen Y Rays.
From I

An important Improvement has been
effected by the General Electrical Com
pany Of Berlin in the Roentgen apparatus
and especially in the vacuum tube. so
that it is possible to observe peculiaritles
in the interior of the head and throat,
and especially the action OF the lungs and
heart, by direct inspection with the
fiuorescent screen. The results were
demonstrated before medical men repre-
senting the chief European capitals at the
recent twenty-fifth surgical congress al
Berlin. The screen employed measured
about ten inches by eighteen inches and
consisted of small crystals of platinocyan-
ide of barium busted on to an adherent
surface. Although the results obtained
are probably capable OF further improve
ment, still they were sufficiently good 10

MuPMs ATTACK PARTISAN ADULTS,
Physicians Are Interested in the
Strange Epidemic ExlstinE.
From, tho Non Vorlr Iye..,s

strange epidemic of mumps has
broken out in certain quarters of Paris.
This annoying malady, which as a rule
attacks only children, has in the present
instance attacked only grown persons
thereby somewhat mistifying Paris phy-
sicians, who are unable to account for me
present curious epidemic.
According to DR.. Charles Leroux one Of
the most prominent physicians of the
French capital, patients suffering from
mumps should be treated very carefully
While their lives may be in no danger"
he says, the disease may affect certain
important organs OF the body, the conse-
quences of which may be serious. Mumps
are very contagious. A person will catch
the disease after spending even a few
hours with some one who has the numps
aye, even though the disease be still in a
state of incubation.
The period of incubation varies from
eight to twenty-five days, so that a person
who has come into contact with n rnumns
patient and finds after twenty-five DAYS
that he Is in his normal state of health
may safely conclude that he has not
caught the disease. Another interesting
fact is that those who have had mumps
in their childhood viii not catch the dis
ease again. 1 have never heard of an ex-
ception to this rule. 1t seems also to he
an undisputed fact that mumps come in
the form of regular epidemics
we do not yet know definitely how
contagion is brought about in this case
but there is little boubt that it is the work
of a special microbe. The fact that the
disease is contagious and epidemic seems
