MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

THE sPRECKELs' DEFEATED.
Supreme Court Dismisses Bill Against
Kahului Railway.

The Supreme Court today by unan-
imous decision awarded the case of
the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company against the Kahului Rail
road Company to the defendants. The
decree appealed from, dismissing the
bill of complaint, is affirmed.
Defendant had long been in undIs-
puted possession of a railroad track
over the lands of the Hawaiian Com
mercial and Sugar Company; com
plainant having long maintained a
private railroad track to its warehouse
near defendants track, recently eX-
tended its track across defendants
track, and then brought a bill in
equity to enjoin defendant from tear
ing up the newly laid track, to COM
mand the defendant to quit the land
on which its own track was laid, to
declare this tract fixture and for
damages for continuing trespasses.,
relying for equity upon ''irreparable
injury" want of "plain, adequate and
complete remedy at law" and multi
plicity" of suits.
Held, the bill was properly dismiss
ed on demurrer.
Iartwell for complainant, Kinney
& Ballou for defendant.

Representative McCandless opened
fire on the Board of Health when the
Items under that department came
up for consideration. He declared it
to be the loosest department of the
government, citing the numerous
trips made by its president and mem

UNCLE SANS POSSESSION
MARCUS ISLAND IN THE DOOR.
WAY OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Stars and Stripes Over 1t for Ten
Years-Honolulu Owners Offer 1t
for Coaling Station.

Not one man in a thousand knows
that Uncle Sam is the bona fde owner
and possessor of an island, ble
for a coaling station and even ma al
station, in the Pacific nearly 2.70C
miles west of Honolulu and in the
very doorway of Manila.
Marcus of Weeks Island is known 60
every Jack of the Pacific seas in y
way, or as far as globes, charts ,nd
nautical information goes. But they
do not know that the island is an
Eden of verdure, has a peaceful rest
ing place for ships and is in the high
way of the expeditions which are now
in motion to the lands recently &C.
quired by the American government
from the proud Dons.
The fact is of special interest here
for the reason that the. private owner
ship of the island vests indisputably
in residents of the Hawaiian Islands
Their title comes in the big term of
Conquest" sanctioned by the United
States. however, and recognized by
France, Great Britain and all the
powers that be.
On their way to Manila the boys in
blue will pass very close to the is
land. pins head of land in the Zig
Pacific. over which the stars and
stripes have foated for ten years. The
island is nearly 2.7O0 miles from Hon
olulu and more than half way to the
Philippines
The island Belongs to Captain Rose
hill of Honolulu and man named
Foster. who used to work for the |.
I. S. n. Co.. but is now commander of
sailing vessel plying between the
Orient and San Francisco. They found
it while out cruising and took pos
session. 1t was at that time un-
claimed and unoccupied. BY consent
of James G. Blaine. then secretary of
state, the American flag was. hoisted
over the island and still remains
there.
The island is i'm 24.4 n. and 1912
e. 1t was first definitely located by
Captain Gelett of the missionary pac-
ket Morning Star. in 1864. In 1865
it was visited by Captain Kitton in
the David Hoadley. Since then it
has frequently been explored and it
has become quite well known. 1t is
about five miles long and is densely
covered with trees and shrubbery. II
has white sandy beach and near the
center is knoll rising about 200 feet
above the sea. A reef extends to the
north of the island. The position of
this fertile spot is important and re-
liable.
Quite recently it was reported from
San Francisco that vessel had been
wrecked near the island and her pas
sengers and crew had landed there.
AT last accounts they were in fine
health and getting along well. There
seemed to be no disposition to leave,
as none have done so though numer-
Gus opportunities have offered.
Captain Rosehill has placed the is
lands i'm the hands of Harry Armitage
with instructions that the broker Of

This has been done. Besides being on
the Manila road, Marcus is not far
out of the track to Yokohama, taken
by steamers from Honolulu.

MUST Be MORE ELABORATE
COMMITTEE FIGURING ON THE
EASTERNERS' RECEPTION.
Next Batch will be Strangers aud will
REQUIRE More Attention-Some New
Ideas Advanced

Some members of the executive
committee of One Hundred are in
favor of making the coming reception
to the boys in blue more elaborate
than the first. The reason advanced
is that most of the men in the second
expedition will be strangers to the
people and the country. Many of the
California and Oregon volunteers mad
friends here and all of them knew
something of the Islands.
II is now known that the next eN-
petition will include regiments from
Kansas, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and
Louisiana. The latter is a crack ne
gro contingent. All these regiments
will know of Honolulu will
have been learned in San Fran
cisco. 1t will be hard to divest the
town of its foreign air to them. and
they will not fall into line" as read
lily as did the first expedition

of the men as to the sentiments of

Some steps toward elaboration are
already being made. The work of the
committees will be more sytematic
and effective That much is certain.
There will be free soda in town. free
bikes. free transportation, free baths,
music galore. the feast and a dozen
other things. A sports program is
talked of. 1t now seems certain also
that there will be stage entertain
ment at night for the men.
There will be one informal holiday
all over town. The National Guard
may be called out. There was need
of it the last time. 1t will be special
ly desirable with the strange troops.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT HARD
AT WORK.
House Wants to Know How Sf2O.oo0
is to be Spent During the Next
Two Years.

The Minister of the Interior is
hard at work this afternoon upon the
figures for the Honolulu roads. The
custom has been to vote lump sum
for roads and allow the Minister to
disburse it to the best advantage. The
members for Honolulu have brought
in number of items segregatinr Ger
tam streets at certain figures: as the
widening of Union street. ST.. 900: re-
pairs to Aala street. $500: repairs TO
NNlie street. $500: macadamizing of
Punchbowl street from the Emma
street corner to Pauoa bridge. Sc 900.
and so forth.
The country members objected to
voting the 100000 asked for HonoIu-
In streets. etc. until it was unde--
stood whether any Of the special
items asked for by resolution were
included in the lump sum. To this
it was very difficult for the Minister
to reply off hand. for the amount to
be used for Honolulu roads is based.
not upon specific statements as to
this road or that. but upon the geuer-
al experience of years. So many
miles of roads to be taken care OF
calculates the Minister. and they
they will, according to previous ex-
perence. cost so much.
But the Honolulu members have
experienced a good deal Of he results
of this system. finding that it does
not allow enough TOnev 20 attend TO
many of the outside streets. or that
small streets are attended to where
thoroughfares in the outskirts. over
which hundreds of people travel daily
on foot, are not. For this reason the
Honolulu members segregated their
special items.
To be absolutely accurate will he
impossible for the Minister. but with
out any resolution being passed he
has promised of his own volition to
furnish the House of Representatives
with II general idea of how the gov
ernment proposes to eXpend the
S12O,O00 asked for. and this will en-
able the members from both town and
country to see how much or whether
any additional money is needed. 1t
will also enable citizens to know
what is going to be done for their
roads and how soon4it is likely to be
undertaken. The debate of this NOR
