In connection with the advertise

days issue ii is worthy OF remark
that out Of the 1873 patients enrolled
since Last November, it is difficult to
count up 10 who have backslided,
and in each and every case OF the
derelicts the treatment cannot be
charged with responsibility. This
statement is made on an accurate
knowledge Of individual facts and
contingent circumstances in posses
sion OF the directorate aud others
personally interested. Another in
teresting feature in connection
with the Institute is the Social
Club, which is separate from
the medical portion but whose
parlors are open to the patients
undergoing treatment. Under its
present directorate the "ex jolly old
topers" members have to keep very
strictly the path OF enjoyable recti-
tude or to find other pastures more
congenisl to their wandering fancies.

Mr.. G. A. Brown, it is said, will
succeed Hastings as secretary Of the
Hawaiian Legation in Washington
In old days there was no necessity
for secretary and our Legislatures
refused to pass appropriations for
such a aposition often at the instiga-
tion OF Dole, Thurston, Owen n-Smith
and other Solons The late Min
lister Henry A. p. Carter was not
even granted an allowance for clerk
hire and yet that lamented diplomat
did better work for the interest Of
Hawaii than any other foreign
representative OF these islands. Now
a Secretary" is a necessity. The
awful strain on Moses Hatch's
brains (and stomach, through diplo-
matte conferences and senatorial
dinners has become too heavy. Al
though assisted by Thurstop, Kin
ney, Armstrong, "Snorting" Jim and
Moreno (Y) he cannot get along
without secretary aud Dole, Smith
& Co. have suddenly realized the
necessity OF having a secretary in
Washington. Has the diplomatic
business between Hawaii aud the
United States been increased re-
centlyi II so, it does not look very
we'll for the "sure" annexation. A
better man than Brown could not
be found for the position, however.
His wealth, brain power, diplomatic
JfneSse, and bicycle bloomers will add
luster to the Hawaiian Legation.
And his political influence will be
immense when Senators and Con-
gressmen learn that he is the man

Fairfield Osborn. Professor Osborn says
His pioneer exploration came early in

links not only III the human ancestry
but in tho greater chain Of backboned
animals, were at the highest premium.
Thus he was fortunate in recording the
discovery in northwestern New Mexico

with the amphibisns, and the latter
with the fishes, and was as quick az q

TENEMENT HOUSE FIRES.

Insurance Patrol Works rs Faithfully For
the Posr For Those Who Are Insured.
There is an article in st. Nicholas on
"The Fire Patrol" written by Charles
L. Hill, who has contributed series Of
papers to that magazine on the New
York fire department. Mr. Hill says:
At fires in the homes Of the poor these
detaohments Of the patrol work just as
earnestly and conscientiously to save
property a. they would in the expensive.
ly furnished mansions of the rich At
tenement house fires they are of great
service. First, they aid in getting the
people out; then, gathering the goods
together, the patrolmen protect them
from water with tarpaulin covers The
majority Of these fires break out in the
Easements or cellars, then, following
the air and light shafts to the top floor,
they spread and do the greatest damage
in the upper stories. To extinguish these
fires the other floors below have to be
flooded, and were it not for the fire pa
troll in many cases the poor families
would lose everything they owned.
One Of the captains of the patrol re-
marked: "Why, it would do your heart
good if you could hear how profuse
these poor people are in their thanks,
and the blessings they shower on us
when they find we've saved their things
They 60 running around, wringing their
hands and crying, 'Everything's lost,
everything's lost!' And then, when the
fire is out, we lead them back and show
them their things, as dry as chip un.
der the covers, and-well, say, there
isn't anything they wouldn't do for u.s.
Half the time they re not insured, and
it isn't our business to protect people
who are not, but we're not supposed to
know everything and our orders are to
protect property first and find out
whether it is insured afterward, and it
is not our fault if we save the little all
OF lot of poor creatures who half the
time haven't change of clothes to their
backs. You bet we get to work just as
quick in a tenement house fire as in a
big house on Fifth avenue, and we do
the same work in both places, no mat
ter whether it's for the rich or the poor"
