NEW TO-DAY.

The social butterfly is really not so much
an idler after all. She works hard She
keeps late hours. She manages house
hold-plans entertainment for her guests
superintends the buying of furniture, the
making of dresses, the ordering of dinner:
is worried by her social duties, by servants,
by thousand things, and with it all she
must perform the duties of wifehood and
motherhood Is it so very wonderful that
her health fails? It fails as other women's
health fails. The beginning is some slight
arrangement of functions peculiarly fe1ni-
nine. From the beginning the progress of
quickly checked. The frightful prevalence
of " female weakness - over thirty years

TAKES A TURN
FOR TIE WORSE
Yellow Fever Is Again
Growing Serious in
New Orleans.
Fifteen New Cases and Three
Deaths Reported by the
Health Officers.
However, the Physicians Yet De-
clare That There Is No Danger
of an Epidemic.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Oct. 5--Aftsr
two days of improvement and of prom Use,
the fever situation, on the face of the rec
ord, took somewhat of a turn to-day.
For forty hours there had been no deaths,
and yesterday the number Of cases had
shown material falling off from the day
before. Early this morning, however, the
reports of new cases began to come into
the Board of Health Office with consider
able rapidity and by l o'clock there had
been fifteen cases reported, and by z
O'Clock toni ht all previous records of
this season had been broken, so far as new
cases were concerned.
In few hours three deaths had also
been reported to the board. The physl-
clans were not at loss to explain the in
crease In cases. They took the view that
it might be expected that numerous case S
would still continue daily to be reported.
DR.. Olliphant said tonight:
"The stern enforcement of the law re-
quiring all the physicians to report
promptly both suspicious and actual cases
of yellow fever has had material effect
in increasing the number of cases. AS q
rule the numerical increase of cases is
due to the fact that we have so organized
our forces that the corps of the Board of
Health is now so large and the activity
of the public in ferreting out new cases is
so great that few if any new cases are es-

During the day thirty-one new cases
were reported and the following deaths
Cecile Spies, Baptiste Saloman. Miss Nellie
Scannell.
Two of the deaths to-day were some

The MeSdameS Crandall
Nos. | and 2 Involved
in Litigation.
Action Brought by the Dr.
Vorced Wife Against Her
Successor.
Asks for $4,000 for the Loss Of
the Los Angeles Merchants
Affection.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 5.-Another
sensational lawsuit has brought into
prominence E. E. Crandall, a weIl-known
merchant, senior mem ber of the firm of
Crandall, Aylesworth & Haskell of this
city. A former one was based on a charge
of black Email, preferred by Crandall
against TWO men who, he alleged, had
conspired to obtain money from him. The
latest suit has only an indirect bearing
upon the other. but forms another chap
ter in thrilling domestic drama.
In the Superior Court here to-day was
begun the suit of Mrs. Mary r. Crandall,
the divorced wife, agains. Mrs. E. E. Gram
dali, the presen, wife, of E. E. Crandall,
for $50, 0000 for alleged alienation of her
former hus bands affections. The defend
ant was formerly Mrs. Clara D. Thomp-
son. 1t is alleged by the complainant
that until 1891 she and her hus band, with
sheir three children, lived happily to-
gether in this city. Then Widow Thomp-
son appeared upon the scene, and there
after Mrs. Crandali noticed a change in
her hus bands demeanor. Her husband S
coolness increased to frost and the wife
was neglected for the Thompson lady,
who then lived on Picket street.
Mrs. Crandall No. alleges that in 1891
her husband sent her to Honolulu for her
health, which was delicate, and that
while she was at that distance he sold his
business for $4,000. He neglected to
remit to her any funds and she became
stranded in Honolulu, being prevented
from leaving by local law requiring per-
sons to pay their debts before departing
from the islands. BY the kindness of the
steamship company she finally was
brought back to California, and here
learned that her husband had been lavish
ing his wealth upon the widow.
Finally the deserted wife returned to
her home in Cincinnati, and in 1894 OBJ
tanned divorce from CrandaII. The mer-
chant wedd ed Mrs. Thompson.
AS Mrs. Crandall No. / was thus de-
prived OF the assistance and support of her
1ormer husband, and, as she alleges,
through no fault OF her own, she is seek
ing heavy damages from the woman VINO
dispossessed her.
The answer to the complaint is merely
technical, and says that the claims set up
in the case are barred by statute.
The witnesses examined to-day were
those who knew some of the facts alleged
as 10 the actions of Crandall and Widow
Thompson while Mrs. Crandall was in
Honolulu.

ASTORIA, Or, Oct. 5.-The masters of
the ship Peru and the schooner Orion,
which came into collision off the mouth
of the river last night, filed with the
United States authorities this afternoon
their official statements of the accident.
Captain Peter Nelson of the schooner
Orion, which was sunk by the ship Peru,
says that he saw the Peru, but be kept on

right of way. Captain Ohling of the ship
Peru in his statement saws:
The Or on was on the starboard tack
when tie vessels were approaching close
to one another. Both the tugmaster and
the pilot endeavored 10 avoid the coll

head to leeward to pass astern of The

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 5.-A special from

of the Commonweal Army, which made
such sweeping onslaught upon WASH

WHY so PENsIVEP

We have heard deal of shouting
by the annexation organs about the
certainty of the passage Of their
treaty at the next session Of the
Congress at Washington; and now
we would like to have them tell the
dear people who have signed the
annexation roll what news vester-
days mail brought about the treaty.
We observe that the high-muck a.
mucks of the Annexation Club are
not wearing broad smiles on their
faces, and it is only fair that they
should tell their blind followers why
they are so pensive. We can tell the
deluded followers OF the annexation
cause that the news from abroad is
of the kind that produces that feel
ing Of "goneness" about the midriff,
and that is why their leaders are
feeling so deeply, darkly and
beautifully blue"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-10-28

We have the greatest respect for
the financiering Of Mr.. Damon, and
we admit that his organ is right
when it says that Current expenses
are kept we'll within current rev.
enue." We cannot agree, however,
with the organ when it says that
there is no country in the world
where "there is so little waste Of
public funds, nor ona where the
public can inform themselves so
easily Of the actual financial stand
ing of the Government" Iuforma-
tion in general can be obtained, but
when the taxpayers ask for details, a
deep, gloomy silence reigus.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-10-28

The INDEPENDENT is now able to
say that the sentiment regarding
annexation is rapidly forming
against that measure in the United
States. The issue has been squarely
met and the best newspapers and
the best general influence is decided
ly against the alliance. The labor
organizations all over the United
States are decidedly against annex
alton, and this factor alone will
have great weight with the Senate.
The newspapers opposition includes
those of all parties. The Demo
cratic, Republican and Independent
journals are all numbered among
the opponents Of the scheme to loot
Hawaii. Information has reached
this city that makes it very doubt
full whether the treaty OF annexation
can command majority vote in the
Senate. The delay from the special
to the regular session Of Congress
has given time for sober second
thought. At the close of the special
session Mr.. Hatch assured President
Dole that ffty-seven Senators might
be depended upon to support the
treaty, and to-day it is question
whether forty-five votes can be So
cured The Star might with pro-
priety give us another leading
article under the head: "If Annex
alton Fails" but the editor might
let the rank and file of the Annex
alton Club know how best to meet
the disappointment and something
about the best way to meet new
issues,
