After going two days without food.
and one without water, the three de
serters from the American ship w. II.
Macy were captured yesterday morn
ing by Capt. FERNANDEZ and Patrol
Puuloa. The sailors were in sorry
plight when overtaken. Weak from,
lack of food, weary with travel and
their clothing almost in rags from
contact with the guava bushes, they
had thrown themselves down on the
ground to sleep when the officers
came upon them. At first they show
ed some disposition to fight. but at
length gave up.
1t is not often that so thorough
hunt is made for deserters. but sailors
are scarce and Capt. Amesbury had
to have his men back. Harry Evans
and Capt. Rankin went down Satur-
day and were soon on the trail of the
men in the vicinity of the salt lakes.
They even went through the famous
tunnel at Moanolua, but gave up the
hunt at 1890 a. m. Sunday Capt. Fer
nandez then took the trail. and by
merely trailing the men through the
bushes came upon them. where they
had literally dropped in their tracks.

wonderfully beautiful
They arc made of great variety of
scmiprccious gems and arc mounted ar

Some of tho belts arc made of IL series
of clasps, each clasp mounted with

nccted with fine chains and have for
their foundation band of ribbon vel

OF this description was made of open

was set with u changing green mala-

Women and tho Public Health.

A noteworthy achievement of tho La
dies Health Protective association of
New York was the investigation, in
1855, Of n district between East Eighty
ninth and East Ninety third streets, call
cd Little Italy," where one lady re-
ported eight families living in single
room, with their eight beds-such us
they were-ranged against tho walls
Three hundred COWS, i'll fed and filthy,
were confined III the vicinity, to pro-
vide "puro country milk" for tho city.
In two years this whole neighborhood
was renovated.
Some time ago tho association under
took the work of exposing tho shocking
condition of stable refuse i'll the CITY.
The facts which Mrs. Fender, as chair
man of the committee concerned,
brought to light seem almost too revolt
ing to believe possible in land which
holds that cleanliness is next to godli-
ness. " The women met such fierce op-
position from tho stablcmen that their
bill was not admitted to tho legislature,
but an ordinance secured from the board
OF health marks one step in advance. A
story told by Mayor Strong at the con-
vcntion of tho Ladies' Health Protective
association held last spring amusingly
illustrates some further results of their
efforts. The mayor saw man standing
at tho door of livery stable, complain
ing of the dirty condition cf tho place.

gunshot wound received whilo on duty
on tho field of battle is certainly not
often heard of or even read about, says
the Cincinnati Coslmercial Tribune, but
there is Il woman of Cincinnati with
such noble and remarkable record, and
her wound was received during the war
of the rebellion.
In 1861 Second Lieutenant Dick, her
husband, left for the war, and soon
afterward she followed him to the front
for tho purpose of succoring the sick
and wounded soldiers as we'll as to bo
ut the side of her husband
Sho was Il few yards only from her
husband ut charlottesville when he
fell, his side crushed by flying piece
of shell. He was unconscious from the
first. but she thinks he recognized her
once. While removing her husband
from tho field, assisted by tender, will
ing hands Of comrades, Mrs Dick was
wounded. A spent muskot ball struck
her just above the ankle of the left leg,
burying itself in the flesh and between
two bones
Mrs. Dick would not stop to have the
wound examined, but assisted in the re-
moval of her husband across the pontoou
bridge. Indeed, sho says, so great was
her distress OF mind over the condition
of her husband that she scarcely felt the
pain. Twelve hours after receiving the
wound Captain Dick died in her arms.

signed. On dark brown, blue or black
background the bright colors stand ont

for school frocks and will be greatly
used for combining with other lnateri-
ais for vests, sleeves and trimmings.

brown trimmed around the skirt with
black and gold braid has short blouse
