with the BULLETINS taking up
the inefiiciency of the service. 1t
may be said that attention WAS not
called TO the matter in this paper
long ago because the management
had been promising an imp owe

alterations in progress had

Yet complaints at length became

everywhere when the telephone
was used or spoken of--that it
became impossible to account
for the inefficieucy altogether by
the work of remodeliug in
progress. Actual experience in
this Office proved that the fault
was certainly not all in the wires.
A reporter trying to communicate
with the editor would he heard

A doctor was called few days

by the dispatch of carriage to

of the previous article Oh the sub

threatened legal proceedings on
it's account. He declared to the
writer that the telephone service
in Honolulu was never more salts

who were not satisfied could
have their instrum ents taken out.
Any operator guilty Of Niscour

him on this occasion, would be
summarily discharged, but he said
the discourteous remarks aud in

mischief makers. 1t was the place
of any subscriber not treated

true, yet that does not acquit the
company from the obligation to
rectify matters. AS to calling up
headquarters for complaints, it
has been found, often, impossible
to get connection with $685." as
instructed on the list in such
cases. On different occasions
business with the management
other than complaining has had

Is MEDICINE A FAILURE
r1rs. Mona Cards Views of the Hos
Dital Scheme.

Mrs Mona Card, whose article in the
Westminster Review provoked the
discussion that became notorious under
the title of rs Marriage a Failure?"
is lady of strong convictions, and ex-
presses them with characteristic vigor.
She has addressed to the London 'Dai-
y Mail'' long letter, expounding her
views as to the consequences of the ap-
peal made by the Prince of Wales in
aid of the hospitals. She fears that a
too benevolent public may make the
governing bodies and medical staffs of
hospitals Independent. Being freed
from public control, the medical men
will give to science what was meant
for humanity; as already the practice
psychologists, so experiments on pa
tents, and even the sacrifice of human
life, will not appear heinous to the
scientific enthusiasts-se Mrs Mona
Caird fears.
This is highly debatable ground to
take up, and we do not propose fol-
lowing Mrs. Mona Card there. But,
says the Mail" we desire to remark
that the subject of vivisection and it's
benefits, or want of benefit, to human
ity cannot nationally be discussed by
sentimentalists, that the proper peo-

for or against yivisection are those who

Lasted Just Two Minutes Before the
Colored Man.
His Second Jumps Into the Ring and
Throws Up the Sponge for His
Principal, After the Latter Had
Been Sent to the Floor With a
Swing From Buffers Left on the
Jaw.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-Frank
Slavin lasted just two minutes in his
fight with Joe Butler of Philadelphia
before the California Athletic Club to-
night. When time was called Slavin
rushed at the colored man and punched
him with his right over the heart But
Butler squared himself for the next
rush, and met Slavin with his left in
the face. Slavin forced the colored
man about the ring, swinging his right
and left after the fashion of the
sweeps of a windmill. Butler caught
the Australian on the jaw with a right
swing, and she latter fell forward,
clasped his dusky opponent about the
waist, and both fell to the floor and
rolled over, with Butler on top.
Referee Billy Madden pulled the
men apart, and Slavin arose in a dazed
condition. Butler swung his left on the
jaw, and the big Australian fell full
length on his back, his head striking
the floor with resounding thump. He
pulled himself up by the ropes after the
referee had counted seven, but was
clearly unable to continue the fight.
Jimmy Carroll jumped into the ring
and threw UP the sponge for his prin-
cipal
The fight was a poor exhibition from
a scientific standpoint, neither man
showing the least bit of cleverness, both
depending on a wild swing to end the
fight, which Butler was fortunate in
landing first. Slavin may now be per-
manently classed as a has been" of

side of the river, to the north of Ira

from the melted SHOWS which have

ever, afford ample protection, save in
places where the waves beat against
them so that the force washes the earth
