Not for the orpheum.

About a month ago there arrived
in Honolulu person who called
himself A. j. Moore, and who claim
ed to represent the Orpheum Vaude-
vile House in San Francisco, and as
it was stated at the time, had in
duced Mrs. Carrie Dimond TO sign a
contract for her appearance during
several seasons at the Orpheum.
1t is also generally rumored here
that Mrs. Dimond, who desired to
remain here pending her case now
before the Courts, had the contract
cancelled for a substantial financial
consideration to the said Moore.
If our information is correct it is
to be deeply deplored that the lady
was victimized. And it is very re-
grettable that Manager" Moore is
beyond the jurisdiction of the auth
critics Of the Hawaiian Republic.
We quote the following para
graphs from the S. F. Call and the
S. f. Examiner of the 18th Of Feb
ruary:
Gustav Walters Of the Orpheum
is indignant because A. j. Moore
formerly the press agent of the
Orpheum circuit, has been exten-
sively advertised as managing Mrs
William Dimond of Honolulu for
the Orpheum circuit.
Ia a letter received by Philip
Hastings yesterday Mr. Walters says
that his theaters will not patronize
amateurs, however, clever, and that
all persons who become notorious
by reason of sensational lawsuits
will be declined engagements
If Mrs. William Dimond appears
before the footligths in this city
upon her return from Honolulu, sh,
will not make her bow from th,
stage OF the orpheum. Gustav'
Walter OF the O'Farrell-street vau
deville house is up in arms agains
the society lady and her two mana
gers, A. j. Moore and w. II. Daley
81 want the public to understand,
said Mr.. Walter last night, "that
am not handling notoriety- seekers
An article in a morning pape
makes it appear that Moore is en-
gaging Mrs. Dimond for the Or
pheum, and that he and Dale
are connected with the Orpheum
Both are misleading the public, TO
| never handle such attractions
Only artists OF ability and standing
will be employed by me. | wish t
state that Mr.. Moore has severed al
connection with my theatre, an,
that Daley never had any connec
ton with it,"

GO SLOW.

BeIOre our DOaru OIL nealJn pIo-
ceeds to inAict hardship upon our
dairymen, in the interests OF public
health, as the medical men Of the
Board no doubt believe, the matter
OF testing COWS for tuberculosis
should be carefully considered.
There are able men OF all schools OF
medicine who question the value OF
the test by injection Of tuberculin.
The Homeopathic Envoy, for Feb
rusry, just received, says: "The
New York Board OF Health, it is
said, intends to move on Albany for
law making the examination and
inspection Of all COWS compulsory.
1t is in this respect debatsble
question whether or not one Board
OF Health with the 'tuberculin' fad
in its bonnet is not greater danger
to the public health than all the
COWS between Loug Island aud
Buffalo The lawmakers, before
passing the demanded law, ought to
put their common sense against the
science that asks for the enactment
Let common sense ask science
what 'tuberculin,' the substance EN-.
ployed in diagnosing the presence
OF tuberculosis 10 cows, is. The
dictionary Century gives us two
definitions: The first is that tuber-
culiu is culture of the tubsrcle
bacillus, aud the second that it is
ptomaine formed by the action of
the tubercle bacillus. Then il
science admits that the Century's
definition is correct, it should be
asked to demonstrate to plain COM
mon sense how is it possible, in view
OF the fact that tuberculosis is "a
highly contagious disease to inject
the cultures of the bacilli of tuber-
culosis-in short, the germs Of the
disease-into the blood OF COW aud
yet have her escape the disease.
Are not the germs of consum ption,
or, if you please, its ptomains, quite
as dangerous from a hypodermic
syringe as they are from the teat of
a cow2 And, again, let the law
makers ask these professors il it is
not true that Virchow practically
put stop to the use OF & his agent
in human beings on the ground that
it not only did not cure consumption
but tended to spread the disease.
What guarantee can these men give
us that herd ofcows into which
cultures OF tubercle bacillus have
been injected, and have been pro-
nounced free from the disease be-
cause none of them 'reacted,' will be
free from the disease month after
wards? Is not the injection OF the
germs of tuberculosis into the veins
of COW in order that the veterinar-
ian may be able to tell whether she
has the disease or not like touching
off keg OF powder to see if it will
burn?"

The INDEPENDENT is inclined to
think that Mr.. M. II. de Young, OF
the San Francisco Chronicle, is not
far off in his statement when he
says:
81 am satisfied, from conversations
l have had With Mckinley, that it
will be the policy OF the new Ad min
isteration at the outset to subordin-
ate everything to measure or mea-
sures designed to improve the con-
dition Of our own people. The first
consideration will be the enactment
OF tariff law in accordance with the
promise OF the Republican party in
the late campaign, and l do not
think there will be any serious diff
Guilty in getting the law through,
though, of course, there will be the
usual clashing Of local interests.
The President. elect realizes that it
is of the utmost Importance to re-
store prosperity to the people, and
very properly, think, measures for
our own relief will have precedence
of the Cuban question and other
kindred problems"

A Dangerous and Horrible Poison IL UseA
Habltually.

A Dangerous and Horrible Poison IL Uaed
HabltuRlly.
It Is a remarkable fact that those
who yield most blindly to the influence
Of drugs are usually persons of brll-
liant intellect and delicate mental poise,
for whom a grosser stimulant would
have little attraction, says the New
York Journal. A sad case in point Is
that of a young physician in Cleveland,
Ohio, who returned recently from
Europe, where he had been taking a
hospital course under a famous London
surgeon, only to die within a month a
pitiful wreck. While in London an UNI
fortunate love affair so depressed the
young mans spirits that he had to
recourse to stimulant to enable him
to pursue his work with concentrated
effort. He chose cocaine and finished
his course with distinguished success,
sailing for home shortly afterward a
slave in body and soul to the deadly
habit. The talents and ability Of the
victim and the prominence Of his
family give an unusual interest to this
instance, though there is not city in
the land that has not its parallel.
Since the beginning of time mankind
has sought surcease of pain in natures
remedies and when found the balm has
not infrequently proved a bane to the
life of the beneficiary. More than
$500 years ago the Chinese employed
Indian hemp to produce insensibillty,
or at least indifference to suffering
The Greeks and Romans used mandra-
CORA as a sedative, and in the thir-
teenth century 1t was combined with
the Essence of the poppy" Since the
beginning Of the present century a
number of anaesthetics Of varying de-
grees ofusefulness have been discovered
and introduced into their own depart
ments of medical practice; chief among
them and regarded as the greatest
blessing of all is chloroform, Cocaine,
an alkalold of cocoa leaves, was dis
covered in 1859, but remained in COM
parative obscurity until 1884 In mi
mute doses whether taken internally or
used as a spray on mucous surfaces, its
effect is wonderfully exhilarating, pro-
ducing for time the fresh and buoy
ant sensations of youth and perfect
health, that have apparently no un-
pleasant reaction; and therein lies the
explanation Of the subtle and irresist-
ible power 1t quickly acquires over Its
victims, carrying them to the very
brink of destruction before they have
dreamed of danger. Being a cumula-
tive poison, the first warning symptom
does not appear until the fatal chains
are riveted that shall drag them, hor-
ror-stricken and powerless of resist
ance, over the precipice to complete
mental, moral and physical ruin.
