For many years we have openly
fought the practice of corporations
issuing "watered stock" based on
nothing and without real value,
simply to rob the masses. Senator
Cullom of Illinois, favors law for
bidding sach thing. In an inter
view at Washington, the other day
he said: Zone of the matters which
seems to me to need remedying
more than anything elseis the over
capitalization of the great indus
tries. They issue a vast
amount of stock which is based on
nothing of rea! value. It is called
common stock; the market is flooded
with it and it goes into the hands OF
many people who are honest. 1t is
called common stock; the market is
flooded with it and it goes into the
hands of many people who are hon
est. 1t is practically worthless, and
when the crash comes these are the
people who are left with the bag.
The owners of the first mortgage
bonds and the securities which are
really represented by the property
of the concern, have their obliga-
ton satisfied first. The rest are
cheated. The law should prevent
corporations from putting out wa
tered stock just as it forbids lotter'
les and other means of gambling.

Diamonds Discovered in Wisconsin,,

The report that diamonds have
been found in Wisconsin will draw
thousands to that state. How mad
ly we rush after riches, and how lit
tie we treasure the only true wealth
Health. All of the diamonds and
money in the world cannot bring
happinese without health. Because
of its mad rush for wealth, America
has become a nation of dyspeptics.
No other people abuses its stomachs
as we do, and therefore no other
nation is so subject to nervousness,
insomnia, indigestion, biliousness,
and torpid liver. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has restored more weak
stomachs to health than can be
counted. It's results have been
phenomenal To avoid limitations,
be sure that private Revenue
Stamp covers the neck of the bot
tie.

CHINATOWN Commission
CABINET TAKES A HAND IN THE
MATTER.
Three Competent Men to Figure out a
Plan of Remodeling the District-Let-
ters From Hartwell.

Chinatown legislation was the fea-
ture of the Cabinet meeting this MORN
ing. The sanitary condition of the dis
trict was earnestly discussed. There
was almost a united opinion that the
town should be remodelled altogether.
President Dole was foremost in the idea
that parts of it could be cleansed and
should be condemned. Attorney-G
eral Cooper thoroughly coincided with
this view
1t was finally voted that the president
of the Board of Health secure the ser-
vices of three competent men, to act
as commissioners, to devise means for
putting the district in proper sanitary
condition. 1t as suggested in another
column by DR.. Raymond
1t was decided to make a proposition
to the Bishop Estate to extend South
street from Queen to the new Beach
road within two years on condition that
the Estate deed to the Government the
roadway, sixty feet wide.

MEET SERIOUS REVERSE
DISASTROUS ATTEMPT TO FORCE
THE BOER POSITION.
General Methuen Had to Face 1900
Men-Hours of Fighting Failed to
Force the Enemy to Retreat.
rs. F. Bulletin, December 49,


LONDON, December 13.-The War
Office has received the following dis
patch from General Methuen, dated
Tuesday, December 10:
"Our artillery shelled very strong
position held by the enemy in long,
high kopje from o'clock until dusk
Sunday. 1t rained hard last night
THE Highland brigade attacked at
daybreak on Monday the south end OF
the kopje. The attack was properly
timed, but failed. The guards were or
dered to protect the Highlands right
and rear. The cavalry and mounted in
fantry with howitzer artillery bat
terry attacked the enemy on the left,
and the Guards on the right, support
ed by field artillery and howtzer ar
tillery. They shelled the position from
daybreak and at rs l sent the Gordons
to support the Highland brigade.
"The troops held their own in front
of the enemys entertainments until
dusk, the position extending, including
the kopje, for a distance of six miles to
the Modder river. Today 1 am holding
my position, and entrenching myself.
| had to face at least $1,000 men. Our
loss was great"
LONDON, December 13.-COnsider-
able significance attaches to General
Methuen's statement that he is en-
trenching himself, indicating a fear
that the Beers may follow up their adj
| vantage, adopt the offensive and at
| tack him. Indeed. the gravity of the
situation from the British point of
view can hardly be overestimated.

LYRICS IN FAUST.

A large audience was in the Opera
House last evening to greet Mrs. Annis
Montague Turner on her appearance as
Marguerite" in Gounod's Faust"
The Opera company did its utmost to
make a thoroughly good rendering of
the opera and to give support to the
Hawaiian songstress and the whilOm
favorite of the Southern Colonies.
Mrs. Turner's rendering of Mar
guerite" is well known to Honolulu
play-goers and is yet always fresh and
pleasing. Mr.. Parmley made a very
good Faust" and entered into the
spirit of the character while his voice
was admirably suited to the music.
Kunkel acted "Mephisto.p Miss Leek-
ley's rendering of the character of
"Sieber' met with approval, and one of
her songs won a unanimous encore.
The stage setting was good and the
soldiers chorus" as rendered by the
band was very spirited Faust VIII

THE CREW WILL NOT WORK
FREEZE OUT OK THE BARK
Enrol.
Held in the Stream for Two Weeks.
Pilikia Caused by Some Local Ship
ping Laws.

One of the queerest entanglements
that ever held a ship in port has kept
the British bark Enrol lying in the
stream for two weeks after she had
her clearance papers all ready for de-
parture. The crew have struck and re-
fuse to work, Captain Henderson can
not put them ashore here on account of
local laws against it and all he seems
able to do is lie in the stream and pay
board for the men till they change
their minds COnsul-General Haywood
Police Captain Harry Evans and ship
ping master Oscar Lewis have all been
trying to help the captain to straighten
the matter out, but so far he has not
found a way to get out of the harbor.
Last week Captain Henderson made
ready for departure, thinking that mat
ters had been arranged. He had Il
pilot on board and the tug Eleu made
fast and began to tow the Errol out.
Suddenly the men came forward in Il
body and demanded to be given an op-
portunity to see the consul. The re-
fused to obey any orders and there was
nothing for it but to send the tug and
pilot away and visit the consul with
them. Captain Henderson accompani-
ed three of the spokesmen to the con-
suIs office and there was a cOnfab,
which resulted in the men being told
that they were in the wrong. Back to
the ship went captain and crew and
again the crew failed to respond to or
ders. Captain Henderson says that he
has had paid out $3.50 for them in ad-
vance money, and guided by a mis-
chief making "sea lawyer" among their
number they asked him for a guarau-
tee that he would not take ii out or
their wages at the end of the journey.
They also made a demand that new
supply of fresh supplies be put on
board.
There is one way In which Captain
Henderson might get the upper hand in
the dispute and compel his men to
work. He could have his vessel towed
three miles out and then it would be
in the open sea. Disobedience of or
ders there would be mutiny and if the
men were guilty of this crime he could
have brought them back for trial. That
would mean long delay and it would
be very expensive.

was examined and everybody familiar

removed to the Board of Health s
morgue, where the autopsy was held
shortly after s o'clock. Portions of the
lungs and the contents of the stoma "h
were taken out for examination. The
case seems like one of head disease.
