THIS is A LOCAL ITEM.
Aud the Citizen Is on the Spot to
Confirm 1t.

The reader of this must concede two
important points, first, that which fol-
lows, having taken place in Honolulu,
can easily be investigated and proved
to be true; second, there is vast diff
ference between opinions publicly eX-
pressed by resident of Honolulu in
Honolulu local papers and the opin-
ions daily met with in the same papers
columns which were originally draft
ed in Maine or Montana. Read the fol-
lowing:
Mr.. s. Hanoland, of this city, Is Il
Custom House guard. He writes.
Having been afflicted with an aching
back for some time, ! procured sup
ply of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills
at Hollister 4 Co.'S store, and used
them. The results were most satisfac-
| tory, and | know that the pills are Il
valuable medicine for kidney com
plants and especially for lame back. "
Is there anything stronger than
home testimony? The following are
some OF the results and indications of
kidney disease: Pain in the back, a
bearing down feeling, a dragging SEN
sation in the groin, timid, nervous, and
restless feeling, temper irritable,

headache, nervousness, palpitation OF

any of these symptoms they should be

CURE OF CANCER
Two Physicians Of Brus'
sells Use a Serum.
Experimen t Of Eminent Men-Peo
pie In Many Countries inter-
ested-is Hope.

BRUSSELS, June 2i.-Drs. Roquette
and Lapo, two Brussels physicians who
have been conducting experiments at
the Brussels Hospital, under the aus
pieces of the Belgian Medical Academy,
for the cure of cancer with a serum,
are believed to have met with success.
and hopes are entertained that COM
plete cure will shortly become an ac-
complished fact.
Both doctors, who enjoy a high rep
utation, deprecate publication. as they
say that the matter is still in an expsr-
mental stage. They also say tina. en-
periments on lines similar to theirs
are being conducted in New Orleans.
DR.. Roquette is ~ years old. He was
born at Namur. DR.. Lapo is little
younger. He is professor of histology
and physiology in the State Veterinary
School. DR.. Lapo makes experiments
on animals. II is probable that they
will shortly ask a third medical mar
to join with them in order to push theil
Experiments more rapidly.
The publication of their work is
bringing hundreds of letters from ali
parts of the world, especially New
York and Ireland. Many are from
hospitals and many from cancer pa
tents praying for salvation which they
cannot bestow. their researches being
: far less advanced than has been stated
They have asked the Petit Bleu to pub
fish a notice to that effect. adding tina,
1t is useless to send letters to which
they are unable to reply. Both ar,
very modest, each attributing to tn,
other the merit of the work and its
possible results. This strengthens tn,
hope that their efforts will'succecd.

A YALE CHINESE
Lured From the Universe.
ty and Imprisoned.
Subjected TO Torture 10 Ms Native Coun.
try-Prinees Pisn for Csin--Ame-
riean Rescuer.

strange story OF the decoying of
an Americanized Chinese doctor from
Yale University to China's capital,
where he was imprisoned and tortur-
ed before his release was obtained by
an American resident of Picking, Is
told in copies OF the North China Dai-
ly News.
According to the Peking correspond
ent OF the Chinese paper Dr. Tung
Wing. LII. d.. OF Yale University, was
studying medicine and law at Yale up
to three months ago, when he was WIS.,
tied by Chinese, with whom he Jeff
Yale for the West. 1t has since been
learned that this Chinese brought 10
Dr. Yung Wing letters and papers
from Prince Ching, comforting upon
him position under the lmperia!
Chinese Government, providing he ac-
cumpanied the bearer of the news 70
Shanghai. The doctor accepted the
position and at once left Yale for san
Francisco. whence he and the Chinese
friend sailed on the steamer Coptic for
Shanghai.
As soon as the two Chinese We're put
ashore from the launch which took
them from the Coptic at WoosIng
they were met by number Of Chinese
who bound the doctor and threw him
into bamboo cage, in which he was
carried to Picking. On the arrival at
the Chinese capital the unfortunate
doctor was imprisoned in temple.
While there he was horribly tortured
his body being burned with hot irons.
1t was given out by the local author
tiles that DR.. Yung Wing was impris-
oned because he was believed to have
had some relations in. or connection
with. the late unfortunate reform
movement. but this was only a blind,
| for 1t afterward developed that the
doctor was imprisoned by impecun-
ious Prince Ching so that he might
extort money from the doctor s
| friends, who. 1t was thought. would
be ready 10 pay heavily to deliver him
from imprisonment and torture or
death
| This scheme was nipped in the bud
by an American resident of Picking
to whom the doctor managed to send
word of his predicament by bribing
one Of his keepers. The American
who was dressed in Chinese costume
went to the temple. and by threats
| accompanied by the persuasion of. q
pointed revolver, obtained DR.. Yuna
Wings release From the temple he
took him to Tientsin by train. whence
the unfortunate doctor took a steamer
for Japan. He probably viii return

The variation in number of sun
spots during the average eleven-year
cycle is strongly marked, the ratio of
maximum to minimum being abou, as
80 to 10 and sometimes greater. 1t Is
an accepted fact, l believe, that the
solar heat Is slightly greater When
there are the fewest spots, but how
this should cause volcanic outbreak
does not appear. 1t may be the en-
pansion on account of such heat OF a
fluid interior breaking through rigid
crust.
The next minimum period is due
about 1900, as near as can be eStimat-
ed from past intervals, so without be-
ing in any way alarmists, it Is reas Ia
able for us to look for a probable lava
flow at some time between aow and
1901. The Hawaii lava flows are gen.
orally confined to desolate parts of the
island.
This is not to be considered as q
prediction, but simply statement o!
facts. The lava flows of Mt. Etna have
followed in measure the same pc

COAST FURNITURE PRICES.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2i.-East-
ern furniture manufacturers are ad-
vancing prices, because of dearer la
Dor and materials. 1t has been some
what difficult to get these manufac-
turers to act together in concert, be-
cause of the numerous establishments
and their varied character, some being
devoted to exclusive lines and Others
to more general descriptions. Even
the chair manufacturers are organized
into two associations, and yet they
have had no trouble in advancing
prices more than once this year. the
last time about the middle of May. In
the absence of general organization
the furniture manufacturers will have
to act somewhat independently, but
will effect combines where possible.

Jessie Kaas L0dQes Her Claim
for $4,000.
She LOST TWO vAlISES
Says They wsr. Fos:itiy Taken From
Her = conteats Ineluded Royal
Goo1s-Iaventory.

Jessie Kaae has brought an action
the Oahu Railway and Land Company,
claiming $4,000 damages. In her com
plant she alleges that on or about May
80. 1899 she was passenger on one
of defendants trains from Kahuku to
Honolulu and had purchased a first
class ticket between those points and
had delivered the same to the conduc-
tor in charge of the train and had in
all things complied with the rules and
regulations of the company. That she
had with her at the time on the train
two satchels, the contents whereof
were valued at s7053. That the defend
ant company 'forcibly. rudely, un-
Justly and contrary to law" took pos
session of the said personal property
and converted the same to its own use
TO the damage of plaintiff in the sum
of $4,000. Plaintiff prays for the resti-
tuition of her property or its value.
In an exhibit attached to the com
plant. the contents of the valises are
thus described and valued: Royal
necklace. royal bracelet. royal nihO
palaoa tbone necklace. $1,000; hlack
silk scarf SIS; ruffled black and white
chiffon, So: two long chemise. 81; two
black holokus s.: petticoats, Sl2; cali
co holoku, 50: miscellaneous articles.
SIS.
Junius Kaae also brings a separate
action. claiming damages of $500,
against the railroad company for its
forcible taking of a satchel belonging
10 him, while he was a passenger on
the same train. The contents of Mr..
Kaae's satchel were valued at SAL.
Both cases are down for trial at the
coming August term, service of sum
mons having been returned.
The other story of the affair is that
the woman bought round trip ticket
for Kahuku, but got OFF at Pearl City
and returned to Honolulu. She then
bought a single trip ticket for Kahuku
and proceeded on her journey. On the
trip back dispute arose between the
conductor and woman, and upon arriv'
ing at Honolulu the latter's baggage
was transferred to the ticket Office. She
was told it was there and that she
might have it If she called for 1t. Sh'
has not called since, il is said, but in
stead has instigated the damage sui
spoken of above.
