know you can't jump quick enough?"
A few hours later shot passed near
the admiral aud he ducked his head
Then he glanced at Dewey. The lat
ter did not say anything, but the cor
ners of his mouth were twitching.
Farragut was silent for several sec
onds, then. clearing his throat, he said:
Why, sir. you can't help it, sir; it's
human nature"
Dewey was soon assigned to one of
the smaller gunbOats of FarragutS
squadron. and in 1864 he was APP
pointed executive officer OF the gun
boat AgOwan, a sidewheeler carrying
eight guns and attached to the north
Atlantic squadron. This squadron was
assigned to help Cen. Grant in his
operations around City Point and Pc
tersburg, and for a long time the men
were kept busy fighting and lodging
tOrped0es During this period Dewey
is described as active. alert. prompt,
and strict but not harsh disciplin-
arian.
Later Dewey was transferred to the
steam frigate Colorado and on board
that ship participated in the famous
attack on and capture of Fort Fisher.
OF this engagement Admiral Porter
wrote: mo vessel in the squadron
was so much cut up as the Colorado.
For some reason the rebels selected it
for a target" On the Colorado three
were killed, fourteen wounded and
twenty-five missing.
On March 3, 1865, Dewey was made
a lieutenant commander and assigned
to duty on the famous old sloOp Kear
sarge soon after its victory over the
Alabama.
At the close of the war he was
again assigned to the Colorado. which

Washington. Sept Pa plan is I'M
der consideration at the war depart
ment to create an army division OF
the Philippines and divide the division
into departments or basis similar to
that in Cuba. The idea is to create
four departments in the Philippines,
at least three of them to be COM
manded by major generals. The plan
is to give each department command
of all the troops that can be success
fully operated and also insure sufii-
cient garrisons for all points taken.
Protection to the peaceable tribes is
one Of the chief objects sought, as
representations made to the war de-
partment indicate that many of the in
habitants do not want to fight, and IL
unmolested and relieved from fear OF
attack by the rebels, will assist In sup
porting the authority Of the United
States and make it impossible for the
followers of Aguinaldo to subsist.

A TRAGIC SUICIDE.

A tragic suicide occurred at the
Hotel Majestic in New York early the

young. beautiful and refined, threw
herself from fifth story window of the
hotel and was almost instantly killed.
Mrs. Chenery was % years old. She
had been in delicate health for some
time and haG come to the hotel six
weeks ago from her home in Larch-
mont TO be near the Office Of her physi-
clan, who was treating her for a nerv-
Gus trouble. The people at the hotel
knew little regarding Mrs. Chenery's
family, beyond the fact that she was a
daughter OF George a. Fuller of Chi
cago, and that her husband was
wealthy and the son of a retired naval
officer

A story of Indian superstition and
cold blooded murder has been divulged
in the course Of the trial at Edmon-
ton. in the northwest territories OF
Canada, of a Cree Indian who had
brutality killed another member OF the
tribe. There was no denial of the kill
ing. the accused readily admitting that
he had shot down his victim quite in
tentiOnally and in cold blood.
The remarkable defense that he set
up was that his victim was a "Windi-
60" and, according to The rules of the
tribe, it was necessary that he should
be killed. So successful was this de-
tense that the accused was saved from
the gallows. and UPON verdict OF SIM
pie manslaughter will escape with
few years imprisonment.

LEARN TO BE BRAVE

The boys Ct this country have much
TO learn from the receptions that are
to be given Admiral Dewey. Some of
them will see and the rest will read of
the great efforts that are being made
to honor him. And if they will stop
to think why, they Will remember that
he is hOnored because he is brave. And
yet 1T was not the most valuable kind
OF courage that Was required to win
the battle cf Manila bay. There is a diff
ferent kind that is little demanded in
war. but often better than any that is.

The death of d. H. Hitchcock re-
moves the last Of a family of three
brothers, all of whom have occupied
prominent positions in the Islands, and
who have been intimately connected
with Hilo. The late ReXford Hitchcock
was for several sessions a member of
the Legislature, was Inspector General
of Schools for many years and was con-
nected with the Board of Education as
principal of Lahainaluna Seminary, of
Waikiki and of Hilo English schools.
He was the author of several books and
of an English Hawaiian dictionary
The late Z. G. Hitchcock was Marshal
of the Republic during a very trying
period of it's history. He was also a
most efficient sheriff of the Island of
Hawaii, besides being an able lawyer.
The late d. H. Hitchcock was a lawyer
of prominence and also made a record
in the legislature, being reelected from
Hilo many times. The work of the
Hitchcock brothers has an enduring
place in the history of the Islands. All
of them We're Hawaiian born, and all
We're men of marked character.

The Board of Health at last legisa-
ture received pretty nearly all that it
asked for. The appropriations were
carefully scrutinized but there was
very little pairing down and there were
some additions. w. o. Smith, then pre-
sident of the Board of Health, spoke of
the insanitary condition of the town,
but it was in connection with his sew
erage scheme, and for that ample FUNDS
were voted. When his request came
for cleansing of Chinatown does not
appear on the records. Had it come,
a reference to the law would have
shown that there was no necessity for
special appropriation, because it was
within the power of the Board or
Health to make the property owners
pay the cost of cleaning. w. o. Smith
knew the law too well for that. APP
parently some members of the Board of
Health are not fully acquainted with
the laws regulating the Board.

EARRING DOCTORS.

The doctors do not agree as to whetn-
er the disease which carried off five
people in one day was bubonic plague
or not. 1t is very seldom that doctors
do agree, but it is upon the doctors
that laymen must depend to prevent
the spread of an epidemic. 1t is GER
tainly not the laymen who pronounce
upon whether particular disease has
entered a city or not. All that the lay
men ask is that the skilled physician
should give the warning, and then the
laymen will assist to the utmost of
their power in counter-acting the evil
by vigorous quarantine regulations. If
the physicians cry wolf" when there
is no wolf the fault lies with them and
not with the laymen.
1t is a pity that there should not be
agreement among physicians, as it ne
cessarily weakens the faith of the gem
eral public in their ability to diagnose
cases. If the cases We're not cases of
plague then a great wrong has been
done TO the business community, to the
port and to the laboring classes, and
the people will have right to demand
a new set of medical men on the Board
of Health.
AS far as what the Board of Health
has done in an executive way, no
blame can be attached to it. If plague
was reported, it was it's manifest duty
to go in and fight it, and the only way
to fight it is by quarantining those
places where cases break out, and If
necessary whole districts. Again the
judges Of the necessity are the medical
men, and the laymen only strive to In
diligently carry out their orders.
1t is impossible for the medical NJ
TO shirk the responsibility laid upon
them. But it is a thousand pities that
the condition of medical science is such
that one set of them declares that we
have had plague, and another set is
quite certain that it does not know
whether we have the plague or not.
