A learned physic- ian once said in lecture that he could practice with three different medicines, calomel, quinins and alcohol. as no tinc- ture could be preserved without alcohol, and in certain cases stimulants had to be used.

Hawkins the Reformed Barber
Steals Quietly Away.
According to latest reports Charles
Hawkins, the some time barber, paint
er. secondhand furniture dealer and
solicitor for the Hagey Institute, has
gone to the Colonies without taking
the aloha of his acquaintance.
To use a curbstone expression, Haw-
kins was "out for the stuff" When
he had tried amputating hair from the
heads of the customers of two or three
BARRIERS without making hit, he set
tied down as a sort of junk dealer and
house painter at the corner of Alakea
and King. The painting branch OF his
business consisted principally in
poorly-executed sign on the side OIL
his store When Rev. Yatman was
here Hawkins became deeply interest
ed. and gave it out that he was con-
verted from sinful ways. About the
same time the Methodist Church
building was in contemplation, HaW-
kins became a regular attendant until
he failed in getting contract TO SUIT
him. Then he shifted over to the
[
Then he settled down, it is said, to the
Central Union. where he became
member He remarked once that the
wealthiest people of the town belonged
there. and he ought to make something
out of them. But the work ala not
come to him, and he complained of 1t
TO his acquaintance.
When he ran up a rent bill with the
Queen Dowager for years occupancy
of his store. a halt was called, and
Hawkins told to settle. Failing to do
this. his junk was sold. Before this
happened, he went East, bought new
silk hat. married widow with fam
lily and returned to Honolulu. His
quarters over his store were not very
inviting to a bride, and after few
weeks Sweltering in low-celllnged
room. just beneath a tin roof, upon
which the sun Shone nearly all day
the family moved to place out Young
street. A few months later the fur
niture was sold at auction, and Mrs
Hawkins and a portion of the family
are said to have gone back to their
former home in Ohio.
After the Hagey Institute was es-
tablished Hawkins became connected
with it as outside solicitor, and the
fact of his going TO Australia on the
same steamer with the promoters OF
the institute conveys the impression
that he is DESTROYS of holding the same
position in Auckland He took with
him a son of his wife's, who was en-
ployed up TO the time he left at Pop
pleton's bakery. Hawkins is a smooth
talker. and impresses a stranger by
his habit of quoting scripture.
