II is not what we say, but what Hoods
Sarsaparilla does, that
Tells the Story.
All advertisements Of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
like Hoods Sarsaparills itself, are honest.
We have never deceived the public, and
this with its superlative medicinal merit,
is why the people have abiding confidence
in 1t, and buy Hoods Sarsaparilla almost
to the exclusion of all others.
Customers Want Hoods.

quantities and it is the only blood purifier
which druggist can buy in large qunnti-
ties without risk. It is selling very rapidly
and customers who buy 1t once are sure
to call for Hoods the next time. We be-
lieve Hoods Sarsaparilla must possess
true merit in order to retain its popular
ity. Its sales exceed all similar prepare
tions and its praises are often heard"

the strength TO combat the fever and
other ailments with which he was at
tackled after his return. His condition
since his confinement at his residence
has been at times such that gave his
family the fondest hopes of his ulti-
mate recovery, and again it was pre-
carious to a degree that filled his ply
sicians with grave alarm. A few days
ago his condition was much improved,
and his family renewed their hopes,
but the change for the better was but
temporary. He has been surrounded at
all times since his illness began by the
best medical talent in the city, and
every care was given the distinguished
Minister, but in spite of a vigorous
constitution, which has assisted him in
battling with the disease, he succum5ed
after long and severe suffering.
Some time after midnight Minister
Willis condition began growing worse
and it was seen that the end was not
his breathing was difficult, and in this
condition he remained until dissolu-

It was learned last evening that Mr..
Mills had requested the Government
to take the funeral in hand and the
Government had accepted. The fu-

The remains will be deposited tenn

will be placed on board the steam
ship Australia for transportation to
the United States. The arrange

been completed, but it is believed they
will be today. 1t is not known yet
whether an escort will be sent with the
remains. but it seems to be the opin-

representative of the Foreign Office
should be detailed as an escort to ac-
company the remains to Louisville and
turn them over to the officials there.

In September, 1898, Mr.. Willis was
appointed by President Cleveland Min
lister Plenipotentiary and Envoy EX-
traordinary to Hawaii succeeding
James H. Blount, who acted Temporal
lily after the recall of the late John
l.. Stevens.
In attempting to carry out the in
StructionS of Mr.. Cleveland in relation
to the matter of the revolution, Min
lister Willis did that which brought
upon him some severe criticism by the
Republican and Democratic press CT
the United States.
During his residence in Honolulu in
an official capacity, Minister Willis per-
formed the duties of his Office in q
quiet, dignified manner; he made 20
display at private or public functions,
and was looked upon as an unaSSum-
ing, genial Southern gentleman, act
ing always in matters of diplomatic
nature in a severely conservative way.
albert S. Willis was born in Shelby
County, Kentucky, January %, 1843,
and for many years prior to his COM
ing to Honolulu as United States Min
lister he resided in Louisville, Ky.
His early education was received in
the common schools of Kentucky. He
graduated in the Louisville Male High
School in 1860. For four years he
taught school, and in the intervals Of
his employment studied law, gradual
ing from the Louisville Law School in
1866. He was elected attorney of Jeff
erson County of which Louisville is
the county seat, in 1870. In 1872 he
canvassed his State in the interest Of
The Democracy, and served as PreSi-
Dental Elector on the Democratic
ticket In 1874 he was reelected at
torney of Jefferson County, and served
in that capacity until sent to the For
ty-ffth Congress. He was returned in
the Forty-siXth, Forty-seventh, Forty
eighth and Forty-ninth Congresses as
a Democrat, and during Speaker Car
isles regime filled the important post
of Chairman of the Committee on Riv-
ers and Harbors.
Mr.. Willis enjoyed the distinction of
being one of the first, if not the first,
Representative in Congress from a
State east of the Mississippi to come
out strongly against Chinese immigra-
ton.
His speech, in which he recited the
troubles with the red man and the
black man and pleaded with Congress
not to cause another great radical ques-
IlOl 70 dIiSe ny the luEIueE duIllSSlOn
of the yellow man to this country, made
him many friends on the Pacific Coast.
Early in this year he left Honolulu
on his annual vacation, but after his
arrival in San Francisco he was strick-
en- with pneumonia, and it was some
weeks before he could continue his
journey to Washington.
At his old home in Louisville, KY,
he improved, but did not entirely re-
gain his health, and on his return TO
Honolulu at the expiration of his va
cation, his friends here noticed that his
health was not as good as it should
be. While leaving ST. Andrews Ca
thedral with Mrs. Willis after the Stan
ley wedding, their horse bolted, and
both were thrown out. Mr.. Willis suf-
fered from the shock, and did not leave
his home after the accident.
He suffered from a complication of
diseases, and within a few days of his
death he suffered a recurrence of pneu-
monia. His family consists of widow
and one son.

A DESERVING FAMILY IN DESTI-
TUTE CIRCUMSTANCES
The Husband Afflicted With Paral-
ysis and His Wife Has An In
fant Child to Care for

In the little cottage at 1916 East Ninth
street resides a family of four, to whom
the struggle for bare existence is at
present an unequal one. Investigation
develops an apparently deserving case
where those who have an abundance
may apply of their surplus, with the
knowledge that actual suffering is be-
ing relieved and the heavy hand laid
upon an honest workingman by dis
ease may be lightened by small sacri-
flee on the part Of the donor.
The husband and father, Henry How
ard, is a paralytic, and has been for
nearly five years. Up to six months ago
he managed to do little work which did
not require the use of his lower limbs
at such odd jobs as putting bottoms in
chairs, certain kinds of upholstering, and,
the like. The work was brought to the
house, and by means of his own exer-
tions and the assistance which his wife
rendered Howard was able to exc out a
meager existence for his family, which
then consisted only of himself, wife and
a little two-year-old daughter But six
heavier upon him, for he suddenly had
another stroke of paralysis, which sent
him to bed and totally incapacitated him
from further eXertion. His wife, who
was at the time pregnant, did the best
she could to keep the wolf from the door.
About two months after her husband
was confined to his bed the wife gave
birth to little boy, and from that time
on there was four instead of three o look
after and as many mouths to feed. But
the money was all gone and the house
rent and grocery bills were due The
landlord kindly consented to LEI the rent
go, but the other bills must be paid.
Mrs. Howard appealed to the Asso-
ciated charities, but that organization,
already overtaXed by the numerous calls
made upon it, was able to do little for
the distressed family. II was finally
decided, however, to assist them with
four dollars month, and since then this
amount has been turned over to Mrs.
Howard. With this pitiable amount
the poor woman has attempted TO keep
the absolute necessities OF life supplied,
but how we'll she has been able 10 fill four
mouths on as many dollars month car
better be imagined than told.
At present the family is greatly III
need Of coal and wearing apparel. "The
money we receive is sufficient to buy
groceries to supply our simple wants
said Mrs. Howard, "but we are out Of
fuel and the children are bare for clothes
I have tried to take in washing to help
along. but between looking after my sick
husband and caring for the baby 1 dent
have much time"
The neighbors who know the destitute
family state that they have always been
eminently respectable, and are deserv-
ing of assistance. When the husband
and wife were able to work they always
did as much as they could and paid their
bills promptly.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
Seems to Be Run From San
Francisco

The home products committee is won-
dering If there is state board of health.
Two weeks ago the secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
tion addressed letter to the state
board of health asking some questions
in regard to their Interpretation of the
pure food law, with a view of appointing
inspectors in Los Angeles
After about ten days a reply came
from the health department in San
Francisco stating that the letter to the
state board of health had been referred
to them for reply. The answer was un-
satisfactory and did not give the infor-
nation desired. Yesterday, therefore,
the secretary wrote letter to Governor
Budd stating the facts and asking If
there was any way to induce the state
board of health to attend to its business.
and meanwhile several people are WON
dering why the state board is being run
from San Francisco.

town. If there was any dispute to be
settled he was the man to settle it, The
case was laid before him and he then
took it under advisement, reviewed tbs
matter and then announced his decision
editorially in the columns of his paper
Was any family in distress? Their
Gagan was the man to apply to, and nc
appeal was ever made in vain. If there
was shooting scrape, and they were fire.
quent, with the resultant candidate fol-
graveyard honors, it was Gagan that
was invariably called upon to preach the
funeral sermon. If there was a celebra-
tion Gagan was the orator of the day
Gagan was liberal liver, and when in
the mood would walk into saloon, pur-
chase the contents, and invite the crowd
in from the street to enjoy themselves
at his expense. He was generous to a
fault and at one time, when an epidemic
OF smallpox struck the town, Gagan
bought building, turned it into hos
pital. hired rMrses, bought medicine and
paid the bills out Of his own pocket. His
good luck get away with his Judgment,
and at the end of three years Gagan
found the bottom of his purse and the
paper suspended.
BY that time the placers were nearly
exhausted and but few hundred people
remained in the town. The last issue
came out on the morning of July g. 1856.
The column rules were turned and the
paper was heavily 6raped in mourning.
Under the announcement at the head of
the editorial columns that that would be
the last issue were the biblical quota
tions:
"As for man, his days are as grass; as
a flower of the field so he feurisheth."
For the wind passeth over it and it is
gone; and the place thereof shall know
it no more"
Two days later the remainder of Mea-
dow Lakes population, with Gagan at
the head of the procession, marched out
of the town, and when the party reached
the Sacramento valley they separated
and went to the various mining camps.
Gagan went on to San Francisco and get
employment as printer. He worked al
his trade on the coast until 1877, when ne
died in the hospital at Sacramento, pen
niless.

young urchins of the town. On one oc-

special edition of his paper and paved
every street in Meadow Lake with them.
No teams were allowed in the streets
that day.
Today the Meadow Lake district is
hoodooed. Albeit the rich plscers have
long ago been exhausted, there are rich
quartz lodges, the ore from which yields
very large percentage of gold in the
laboratory, and that fail to make any
return at all worth talking about in a
practical working. The ore is refractory
and Of very complex character. I'M
mense sums of money have been eX-
pended in the attempt to work this ore,
but so far without success. Fortunes
are locked away in the lodges that are
known, and that have been opened up
upon, but they are more difficult to reach
than the gold in the frozen fields of the
Northwest Territory.
