Remarkable Escape from pe..th.

D. ". Kfider of Wharton, Ohio, a member of the Third regular artillery, who was shot tWenty-six times in tne Filipino outbreak in February, and who received the most terrible wounds in the Manila campaign, still survives. He was shot at 130 o'clock in the aft erneon5 and because he was thought to have been killed. was not treated by the surgeon until 3 o'clock that night. His escape from death on the field is one of the most remarkable on record. Chinese Tea Transported Through Russia
 The Siberian News, of Tomsk. is one of the few newspapers published in si- beria, and gives some interesting par tfcu1ars in regard to the transportation Of Chinese tea through Russia. The Tomsk= newspaper says proudly that in the first twenty days of last January no less than 19,0o0 sleighs loaded with tea passed through the Siberian city. Every sleigh carries usually five bales of tea. packed in OK skin, each weigh ing from 100 to 160 pounds. The men sleep on the sleighs during the trip across Siberia, which lasts nearly one year. It would be shorter to send the Chinese tea by sea; but in this case the custom house duties are high, while they are comparatively small on tea imported by the land route. Russian merchants, who have long had most Of the European tea business in their hands, are greatly disturbed over the great growth in public favor of the Geylen teas which are distributed from London

Wedding fionses.

In olden times certain towns and villages in England used to possess a wedding house, where poor couples. after they had been welded al church, could entertain their friends at a small cost, the only outlay being the pur chase of such provisions for their guests as they brought with them, the house for the day being given free Of payment.

MANUAL TRAINING.

The urgent need both in the Prepar-
atOry school and at the college of a sys-
tematic course in manual training" is
called attention to by President Hos
mer in his report. For this purpose for
the next year he asks for $780, At the
last meeting of the Legislature the
Commissioners of Education asked for
and obtained, $4,000 for the same pur-
pose. But $4,000 is utterly inadequate
for establishing a proper systematic
course of manual training in the public
schools. 1t is not enough for the schools
of the city, let alone the many large
schools upon the other Islands. 1t is
hardly enough to supply the sewing
boxes and material for the schools, let
alone any other kind of manual train
ing.
The sum of $25OO which President
Hosmer asks for would be used in the
training of between $50 and 300 individ-
uals. The educational commissioners
have to provide for the instruction of
from eleven to tweleve thousand chill
dren. And not only should material be
supplied, but competent teachers for
this particular service should be en-
ployed. You cannot get competent
teachers unless adequate salaries are
paid. We may in time be able to train
such teachers, but at present we have
no facilities for such training, and we
must get them ready trained from the
mainland.
1t is quite time for the commissioners
to begin thinking about, and discuss
ing this proposition. The training of
the hand and eye is now regarded as an
important adjunct to the mere memory
training of the mind. AS Professor Hos
mer's report says, by such training
children acquire deXterity in the use of
the hands and develop their own capa-
city instead of learning the mechanism
OF some machine. Above all it forms a
desire for honest work and has a whole
some influence upon the mind and char
acter."
This sums up i'm few words the
benefits to be reached by such training.
columns might be written in support
OF the proposition, but they are not
needed. The advantages of manual
training are -self-evident to the most
ordinary Intellect, and the fact that it
has been neglected is just as evident

Richard Ivers, who has resigned from
his position as Collector General of
Customs has, during his incumbency of
the office shown both discretion and
executive ability, which he now carries
into very responsible position in r.
win & COmpany's business. 1t speaks
highly for our officials that when they
leave official life, they enter even more
responsible positions in commercial life.
Mr.. McStoCker, Mr.. Ivers' predecessor,
is manager of Olaa plantation, where
he has to deal with an army of en-
ployes, and has to organize on a large
scale. Mr.. Laws, who was Mr. Ivers'
predecessor in the employ of Irwin &
Company was for a long time Auditor
General. When commercial firms are
willing to employ the officials that have
served the Government, it is very evil
dent that able men have been employed
as officials!

considered IL their duty to add a very
significant rider. That the woman died
Of pneumonia there was no doubt. The
verdict was to that effect but
I'VE further find that medical attend
ance was neglected and would recon-
mend a closer attention to duties on the
part of the physician at the Govern
ment Dispensary,"
Added the jury.
When we come to consider that not
very long ago this death would have
been cassed, in all probability, as
among the unknown and Unattended
we begin to understand the full signi-
ficance of this verdict There is here
shown clearly to the public a case which
The Star has contended has happened
again and again A death of this kind
might never have been investigated a
few months ago. 1t would have been
dismissed as a death from pneumonia
even if it had been investigated but
coroner's juries are beginning to un-
derstand that when death occurs, in
many cases there may be responsibility,
and the coroner's jury which sat to find
out the cause of the death of this Ha-
waiian woman, Ane, realized its own
responsibilities and showed where it
considered the responsibility of others
| lay. 1t censured the Government physi-
clan.
If we are to pay a Government physi-
clan it is most necessary that he should
attend to his poor patients That is
what the community pays for. The
state recognizes that the poor cannot
employ regular physician. 1t there
fore supplies a physician to look after
the poor. 1t is not looking after the
poor if they are treated vicariously. OF
what value is a physician to the poor if
he sends medicine to assist the sick,
making his diagnosis of the case from
the mouth of a third and it may be
fourth party. Mary Kamaka is sick,
she tells Annie Pelua, who tells Fanny
Kamaku, woman who has never seen
Mary, and the latter goes up to the
dispensary and giving her valuable view
of the circumstances, gets medicine
from the Government physician.
This is the manner in which medi-
cine is given in some cases. What has
now been censured by the coroner's
jury is no isolated instance, but it is an
instance that has been made public. In
stead of a physician, the Board of
Health might engage the services of a
dispenser of medicine, give him a work
upon family medicine and let him go
ahead. The results, if no better, would
certainly be no worse.
The jury has done it's duty, and every
individual member of it deserves the
thanks of the community. There names
are j. II. Schnack, E. r. Biven, w. F.
Love, w. f. Bivens, S. Kubey and
George Dillingham;. Duty is a mighty
unpleasant thing to do, but it has
to be done, no matter whom or
what it hits. 1t now lies with the
Board of Health to make strict and ac-
curate investigation. The Star does not
wish to comment at full upon the case
until that investigation is held and the
results are published, so it waits-feel-
ing sure that justice and not mere
white washing investigation will be
initiated OF course there will be Dr.
Howard's side of the case to be given

The circuit court increased the pun
sshment of Nobriggo, the Portuguese
milkman, for selling watered milk. The
heavy fine of SIS will probably be a
warning to other wrong doors in this
direction. The decision of the court
will also strengthen the position of Mr..
Shorey, the Food Inspector, and will
clearly show that the pure food law is
not dead letter, but that it is a dead
certainty-for wrong doors.

A MATTER OF DUTY.

The verdict of the coroner's jury in
the case of Ane, an Hawaiian woman
who died of pneumonia two hours and
half after entering the hospital, shows
that Hawaiian coroners jures are be-

evidence which they had brought before
them was Of such character that they

DR.. Howard in a letter published this
morning says IAN attack has been made
against me-" and the charge has been
made in two afternoon papers that 1
have neglected my duty"
Speaking for itself The Star would
point out that it made no charge against
the doctor in it's issue of last night. 1t
simply published the evidence given be-
fore the coroners jury, portion of
which was DR.. Howard's own testi-
mony, and the finding of that jury,
without comment of any sort. This is
also what another evening paper did.
The publication of the evidence and
findings in any court constitute neither
an attack nor a charge.

IMMENSE ALTERATION SALE! M

Before L. B. Kerr left for Europe it was
decided that extensive alterations must at
once be made in the store. Accordingly, it
is necessary that the goods must be sold to
make room for the workmen. To do this
he directed that an Immense Alteration Sale
be commenced at once. Anything and
everything will be sold at much lower fig
ures than the same goods could possibly be
purchased elsewhere. This will insure bar
gains in every line to all.

HISS AND SPIT AT FOES.
Cats of All Species Intuitive Ely Repel
Their Enemies by n Display
of Ferocity.

Everybody has seen a cat hump lis
! back and hiss and spit at Il dog. Even
the Youngest kitten instinctiveiy rec
ognizes an enemy and makes Il showing
of defiance at its approach. This bluff
at intimidation is general among the
species. 1t is Il curious and remarkable
fact that many different kinds OF crea-
lures which nave their homes in shall
low holes have a similar habit of spit
ting when IN enemy approaches. Fur
thermore, it is probable that the eN-
preston of a cat at bay is part of the
same instructive stratagem. We know
how general is the horror of the serpent
tribe throughout all nature, and hence
it seems likely that the serpent-like as
Dect of the head of an enraged cat, to-
gether with its threatening hiss. might
discomfort an enemy sufficiently 10 give
an advantage to the cat.
Curiously enough, cats of all species
have their tails marked tranSversely
in a way which resembles the marking
of serpents, and several natura!;sts ave
remarked how similar are the sinuous,
waving movements of the tail of an
angry cat to the movements of the tail
of a snake N n state of excitement. The
tue tabby cat, when it is curled up
asleep, has a curious resemblance to a
coiled serpent, and the same is true of
many wild cats of different varieties
and coming from different parts of the
world.
If this really is an instance of pro-
tective mimicry it is possible that the
chief foe guarded against was the eagle.
Eagles are very fond of cats flesh, and
it has been remarked by naturalists in
various parts of the world that these
formidable birds habitually make war
upon the smaller creatures of the kind.

CENSUS OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
How Correct Statistics of Farm md
Factory Dairy Products May
BE Secured.

Washington, Oct. 16. = The law re-
quires the statistics for the twelfth
census of dairy products farm and
factory to be taken on separate sched-
ules. The Division of Agriculture will
take the amounts of milk and cream
produced and sold, and the amount of
money received from their sales; also tile
quantity and value ofall the butter and
cheese made On the farm. On the manu-
features schedule will be taken the quan-
tity of butter and cheese made in fac
tories, cooperative and otherwise, to-
gether with the quantity and cost of
raw materials (milk and creamy. cost of
labor, capital invested, character and
value of plant and machinery, etc, etc.
After the two forms of schedules hall
have been returned to the census of
flee in Washington. the like statistics of
dairy products on each will be CONSOLE
dated, and thus show. what never here
tofOre has been shown. the total yield
of milk in the United States and the
amounts and values of its several prod

for the use of the census e~numerators,

do this will prevent the enumeratOrS
from securing any returns, becausenew
managers, or new secretaries, or new
boards of control may be in charge on
June l, 1900, who will know nothing of
the factory statistics of 1S99-and the
figuresfor 1899 are the oneS the law says
shall be taken.
Farmers who keep no records of their
transactions will find themselves in the
same dilemma. on the arrival of the GEN.

stroys its records. Therefore, Chief
Statistician Powers is appealing to all
of them to prepare in writing, while the
necessary facts are fresh in mind, such
a statement of milk, cream, butter and
cheese products as will enable them to
reply promptly and accurately to the
inquiries which the law says the emu
merators must take. If they shall fail
TIC do this, the statistics OF dairy prod
ucts in their county will be incomplete,
and will compare unfavorably with
those of counties wherein the returns
are more accurate.
