ALLEGED MALPRACTICE ON \
PLANTATION.
Loses a Portion of His Left Leg Re-
mainder of the Member Will Have to
be Amputated.

A pitiful case lying at the Queens
Hospital has engrossed the attention
of the physicians and attendants in
that institution. \ young Portuguese
lad of II years is suffering most eN-
crutiating pain from the loss of his
left leg, which dropped off from the
knee on Monday of this week. The
life of the young man is hanging on
and it may be that his constitution
will stand until medical assistance
can take effect.
His name is Frank Lorenzo and he
was brought down from Paauil1. Ka-
wai, on the Iwalani yesterday. The
story of the young mans plight is II
sad one and seems to be the result of
physicians carelessness. He was
employed on plantation on Hawaii.
4 little more than three months ago,
while at work in the field, young Lo-
renzo sustained an accident to his left
knee cap. 1t gave him considerable
pain and he solicited medical treat
ment from the doctor in the service
of the plantation.
According to Lorenzo, who told his
story to Star reporter this morniug,
the doctor was careless. and simply
bandaged the injured leg. Lorenzo
and his father, who was with hiln at
the time, requested that a linimcnt or
salve be rubbed on the bruised knee
cap. But the doctor would not listen
to this. 4 few weeks later infiamma.

RECEPTION ON THE NAN|NA
OVER THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE
ENTERTAINED.
Vessel Handsomely Decorated-Gov-
ernment Officials, Naval Officers,
and Prominent People Attend.

The reception and dance given on
last evening" was certainly the great
est and most impressive of any naval
society event ever given in the Homo
lulu harbor.
Capt. 7. Kurooka, commanding the
big ship, and japanese Minister Resi-
dent and Mrs. Shimamura. received
over 800 people on board. After an
exchange of courtesies at the landing,
the guests were escorted by polite
officers to the various dressing rooms.
Everybody, it seemed, Immediately
started out on an inspection of the
ship. The decorations, which were
strictly japanese, were elaborate and
most artistic. The upper decks had
more of the festival appearance. The
first thing to meet the eye was a cam
paign lantern stationed about mid
ship. The words Come" Welcome"
aloha" both in English and jap
anese, kept continually passing
through the slide. All about the mid
ship and astern, on every gun. railing,
chain and bannister, were Japanese
paper flower decorations in all colors
of the rainbow.
Then there were brilliantly illumin-
ated electric light shades, imitation
slices of watermelon and a pleasing
allegorical display. The large cannon
ball which the Naniwa sent into a
Chinese war boat, causing it to sink,
was exhibited, and many other inter
esting curiosities were to be seen.
The stern of the ship was provided
for those who wished to view the fire
works, which were set off from the
quarantine wharf. A canopy made up
of flags of all nations on earth was
artistically arranged over this part of
the ship.
| The upper deck was also gayly adj
orned with bunting, flags and Jap
anese paper flowers. An excellent
view of the entire boat was afforded
from this point.
Down below the same decorations
were carried out. There were tea, cof-
fee and chocolate booths, and lemon
ade stands The wardroom and Cap
tain's room were used to serve a deli
cious supper. The gun rooms were
occupied by those who wished to
smoke and play cards.
The Government band was stationed
forward and both young and old dane
ed two-steps and waltzes until long
after II o'clock. The full dress of the
naval officers and military men added
much to the brilliancy of the scene.
Everyone spent thoroughly enjoy
able evening. Time did not go begg-
ing with anybody for a single mo-
ment and the health of the Emperor
of Japan and Capt. Kurooka was pro-
posed many times.

HER ENGINES ARE IN VERY POOR
CONDITION.
New Foundation Must be Placed in
Her Hold. The Vessel viii Not go to
Samoa.-Will Remain Here.

The L. 5. ). Marion is booked for an
indefinite stay at this port. There
has really been no use for her since
the arrival of the Philadelphia, and
She would have taken her leave long
ago. had it not been for the discovery
that her engines must be pretty thor
oughly oyerhauled before they would
run again In fact, the Marion had
hcen ordered to Samoa, but Il board
of officers, after examining her en-
gines. decided that she was not in
condition to make the trip.
OF course, the matter has been kept
very quiet, as an officer who would
presume to discuss the affairs of the
ship ashore would stand a good
chance of losing his commission, but
the true condition of the old-time
cruiser has at length leaked out. lHer
hull is still quite sound. and her masts
and yards are still stout enough to
stand good blow, but her engines
are sadly at fault. The bed of her en-
it threatened to give away almost
any time, and the result might have
been hole in the hull.
Only few miles off port, when the
Marion was coming in. her engines
broke down. and it was necessary for
her to signal for tug to tow her in.
jury was not OF serious nature. but
when the cruise to Samoa was men
toned, the condition of the old ves-
sci engines was viewed in a more Sc
rous light. A board of officers was
appointed by the Admiral soon after
his arrival. They examined the en-
in recommending that a new bed be
put in.
It is no small task to put new bed
under the ponderous machine that
drives the screw of s5O-ton gunboat.
The engineers have been hard at it
ever since the repairs were ordered,
and it is likely that they will be just
as busy for many weeks to come be-
fore they finish the job.
Had the Marion started for Samoa
when she was booked to go. there is
no telling what might have happened
to her. The bed of the engine might
have given away. tearing hole in the
hull. OF course, if there had only
been general breakdown, the canvas
| that the vessel carries would have
been sufficient to sail her back to this
port.
There are some who are mean
enough to attribute the breakdown of
the Marion to the reluctance of the Of
ficers to go away down to Samoa, but
such people do not find many sympa-
thizers
One naval officer in port, at least,
objects strongly to the restrictions
placed upon him by the Department
in reference to ''talhlng ship" He is
an old line officer, and he makes the
assertion boldly that the New Navy
was built up through the criticism OF
naval officers. They see, he says
much sooner than any one else the
defects in a vessel. If they are not
permitted to discuss them openly, il
is not likely that they will say any
thing. In reports to the Department
the identity of the critic is almost in
variably lost, as the high officials at
Washington generally prefer to get al
the credit possible out of the discov.
cry of such imperfections.

Realism in Literature

times that the novels OF no other orc

any means, that our novelists are greater
than any of previous epochs. But never
before could a reader of fiction accumn-
late a vivid, true and varied picture of AZ
many sides OF human nature, so manv
conditions OF actual life. 1t therefore
broadens the horizon OF a judicious reader
in way that books of travel never did

THE SNOBBERY OF EDUCATION
The College Girl Who Affects an Air

of Superiority.
Edward w. Box in the Ladies Home
Journal expresses himself vigorously in
depreciation of the tendency to introduce
a dangerous element of snobbery into ed
ucation. He notes he pervading 81 know
so much" air that is encountered on all
sides, and the feeling that line is being
drawn on a so-called educational basis.
Mr.. Box contends that IAN educational
process which sbarpens and polishes only
girls intellect, and either deadens or
neglects her heart or soul, is sorry imi-
tation of what an education really
stands for and is. The practice fol-
| lowed by some girls who have been at col
lege OF holding their heads above those
who have no. is a foolish proceeding, and
smacks Of the most repulsive kind Of
snobbery. 1t is never aafe for US to as
sumo that we know more than the people
around us, whether we are colegetrained
or not. The longer we live in this world
the more we become convinced how little
we know. The people most humble in
their opinions are generally the best ed
ucated.
at is an art which only few OF us
learn: to be reticient of our own opinion
when every one around us is expressing
his. Yet this is one of the attributes Of
the weil-educated. Silence often speaks
louder than speech. But the girl fresh
from her books and college does not
always perceive this. She is apt to
assume, for example, that people are
uneducated if now and again they speak
ungrammaiicaiIy. But she does not
know that the most vital truths ever
spoken or written, the truths which
have done mankind the greatest good,
have not always been those which would
have borne grammatical dissection.
