A QUEER salvage CASE
MAKES AN INTERESTING SIGHT
IN THE HARBOR.
Sampans Canoes and Other Strange
Craft Gathering Coal from the Reef
Purchaser Gets One-t third

The harbor and the shallow water
on the reef present a curious and in
teresting sight today. Chinese, Japa-
nese and Hawaiians with small craft
of every description are gathering up
the coal which is being washed on the
reef from the wreck of the Edward
O'Brien. There are fully $50 of these
small craft engaged in this work, sam
pans, punts, out rigger canoes, skiffs
and ships boats. All along the water
front from the boat landing to the
mouth of Nuuanu street and up both
sides of the stream as far as st. Louis
college there are piles of coal that have
been collected from the water Each
boat owner or little hui piles it's coal
up in some particular place to await
sale or division by the purchasers of
the cargo of the Edward O'Brien, who
claim ownership.
Out in the shallow water on the
reef the scores of boats engaged I'm this
work present a busy scene. While as
one after another of the various craft
secures load and goes across the ba-
sin to it's particular landing place, they
give the basin a lively appearance.
The hui, which bought the cargo of
the Edward O'Brien claimed this coal
as it's own. Some of those who are
engaged in saving it were disposed at
first to resent the claim In the end
the claim was admitted and a general
arrangement was entered into by which
the purchasers of the cargo get one
third of what is saved and those en-
gagged in saving it get two thirds as
salvage

INVENTION MADE BY ENGINEER
AT EXETER.
1t Works Automatically and is Erect
ed at Small Expense-Not an Expe-
riment but an Accomplished Fact

In a pleasant riverside meadow on
the outskirts of Exeter Is a small
rallied off area, says the London Daily
Mail, within which has been put to a
practical test an invention of the city
surveyor for dealing with the sewerage
of the borough. All that the visitor
sees are a mound covered with grass
and shallow concrete lake, neither Of
them being larger than the dining or
drawing room of ap ordinary house.
Yet for two years the sewerage of a
district containing population of two
or three thousand people, has, after
passing through the works, flowed in
to the river colorleSs and absolutely in
nocuous, and that without having re-
ceived any mechanical or chemical
treatment whatever.
The whole of the work is done l.y
the merry microbe. The grass covered
mound referred to is the roof of an air
tight tank into which the crude sewer
age flows. There it remains for num-
ber of hours.
The conditions are highly favorable
for the multiplication Of the bacteria
which fatten on corruption, and so
rapidity do they increase and so vora-
cious do they become that in a COM
paratively short time all the solid or
ganic matter in the sewerage is dissolv-
ed into liquid. A valve automatically

FOR AMERICAN LABORERS
PLANTERS DECIDE TO TRY THE
SCHEME.
Substantial Assurances That All La
Dor Required Can be Procured on the
Coast at Once.

The Hawaiian sugar planters will
follow the suggestion of President
Dole in the matter of the introduction
of American labor for the cane fields.
Responsible parties are to the fore
with propositions for the Introduction
of white men-schemes that promise to
be successful Colonel Whyte, the
promoter, is one of them. .r
A meeting of the planters was held
yesterday at which the ground work
of the project was laid. A further
conference was held today. If the
plan can be worked out on the lines
now apparent at least a half of the fu-
ture labor of the country will be white
men.
1t has been forcefully represented to
the planters that all the labor requir-
ed for the present emergency can be
procured on the coast The northwest
is expected to be the principal market
1t is stated that in the wheat fields
of Oregon, Washington and California
the best of labor gets from $12 to $25 a
month for six months in the year. The
remainder of the year the laborer is
absolutely idle, or works around the
barnyard for his board only during the
winter months.
The figure to be offered the Ameri-
cans has not yet been agreed upon, but
it will probably be in the neighborhood
of $1S and found" with work all the
year round. This is the salary prop
osition part of 1t. Another proposition,
favored by some of the planters, and
which will also be submitted. is the
profit sharing scheme practiced at Eva
plantation. 1t is believed that this
will meet with most favor of men with
families.
Colonel Whyte is sure that if the
terms here are made reasonable there
will be no trouble whatever in getting
the labor. In all probability the colon
ell will be sent to Seattle and neighbor-
ing places, when the scheme is ready,
to work it up

QUAKER SHOW IN COURT
CHARGED WITH THE ILLEGAL
PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Interesting Testimony Brought Out
The Quaker Claims Only to be the
Assistant or Associate in Practice.

The Quaker entertainment was
transferred to the police court this
morning. The Quaker himself was the
defendant charged with practicing
medicine without a license. He didn't
have on his long Quaker coat, but he
never forgot the Quaker part, address,
ing Judge Wilcox as brother" and
speaking to Marshal Brown as thee
and thine"
The particular case in which he is
charged with practicing medicine with
out a license is in the case of a patient
who refused to pay charge of $35 for
medical service rendered.
Ferdon, the Quaker, testified that he
diagnosed and prescribed under the
direction of DIR. Noblitt with whom he
was ASSOCIATED. He would look the pa
tient over and tell him what the mat
ter was while DR.. Noblitt would write
ii down and make such further exam
ination as he saw hit.
DR.. Noblitt testified that he was as
sociated with Ferdon, and that Fer
don simply acted as his assistant in
medical matters, but was business
manager in the matter of charges.
Judge Wilcox found Ferdon guilty
and fined him 800. An appeal was inn
mediately taken to the circuit court.

that the canoes could not upset or
sink. we were out about one-fourth
mile when we were swamped and the
canoe disappeared from sight and left
us struggling in the water. We had
to swim for the shore, clothes and all
and were about exhausted when we
landed amongst the rocks n the shore

sharks did not get us is more than

form as a sample of the rest that We're
floundering in the water and passed
on to brighter or more promising

CARE OF RUBBER TIRES.

Do not ride fiat tires. A few miles
of such treatment will damage them
more than a full seasons riding. Tires
should not be soft unless you want
them to wear out by cnafing on the
rims, or have the inner tube cut by
pounding against the spoke heads. Use
care in handling the valves of your
tires. Do not treat them roughly by
screwing in the pump in hurry. Keep
them free from dirt and dust on the in
side. If a valve does not work well,
pump a drop of water through it. No
particular care need be given the
rubber. ALI rubber will wear out in
time, particularly in this climate, but
it is not materially injured by wealth
er, dirt or water. 1t is well, however,
to keep 1t clean from Oil and grease, as
both will rot rubber. The Pacific Cy-
Gle Company give all purchasers of the
'aa model Sterling bicycle an option of
any tire in the market, $14.00 Palmer
tires included.

Organ of the Hawaiian Sugar Industry

This magazine devotes considerable
space to sugar in this issue. 1t ap-
pears under Prosperous Hawaii" and
under Hawaiian Commerce." as far
as these Islands are concerned. Then
there is The Sugar Industry OF
Queensland, Sugar Prospects of
Cuba" and Sugar in the West Indies"
together with the report of "An Inter
esting Discussion about Sugar Cane" F."
which latter was held in Louisiana.
Besides these special articles there
are quite a number upon topics allied
to Hawaiis great industry. The state
ment that a new cane disease has de-
veloped in Barbados will make all su-
gar stock holders devoutely pray that
the new microbe will not find it's way
hither. The labor question is quite
enough for the planter to tackle just
now.
Editor Whitney puts together a very
readable magazine and one that is
technically of value to those engaged
in the sugar industry.

On Monday. at 2:30 y. m, at the
High school, Professor Rolfe will meet
all those who wish to discuss Charles
Lamb and his writings. This Will be
an opportunity for a certain section of
those who intend to attend the univer-
sity extension lectures, to gain more
intimate knowledge of the writer by
doing some reading and hearing the
opinions of others. Some of those in
terested regret that the hour of 2:30
in the afternoon is chosen, as being
engaged in work they are precluded
from joining. Many school teachers,
moreover, claim that they are tired
and jaded from their school work and
are not fit to enter discussion at that
hour.
The subjects for class discussion are
as follows:
1. What is your favorite among the
Ella Essays? On what do you base
.your claims for it?
2. Enumerate, with Illustrations, the
characteristics that lend Lambs style
it's peculiar charm.
8. Give extracts that illustrate
Lambs use of archaic words, the
rhythm of his sentences, and his use
of common words in uncommon connec-
