THE RIGHT MAN.

The selection OF General A. S.
Hartwell to represent the Hawaiian
Government in Washington as an
extra territorial delegate of nom
existing territory is excellent. Mr..
HartweIl is a walking Ecyclope-
dis in regard to matters pertaining
to Hawaii and his record as a war
rior on the Mainland as we'll as in
Hawaii will give him special prestige
at McKinley's warlike Court. What
grand chance it would be for some
enterprising "yellow" newspaper
man to be present-even under the
sofa-when Mckinley aud Hartwell
meet privately aud swap war stories.
The general will look eondescend.

AN ARROGANT POSITION.

The Board OF Health has adopted
position which cannot be sustained
by law in the "wbitewashiug" OF
DR.. Howard, an employee OF the
Board.
We fail to see any provision in
our laws which allow an appeal
from coroner's jury to the Board
OF Health. The opinion of the mem
bers OF the Board may be of interest
to themselves and satisfaction to
the physician, censured by the
coroner aud jury, but it is of no
more account than the expression of
an opinion OF any man in the coun-
try.
A coroner's jury, composed of six
independent and intelligent citizens,
heard the evidence in the case OF a
Hawaiian woman who died under
such circumstances that the oficiat-
ing physician at the Queens Hospi-
tai, where the woman expired, re-
fused TO grant certificate OF death
necessary for burial
An inquest was ordered, held by
the police authorities and, the case
appearing quite serious, haole jury
was called in instead OF jury Of the
countrymen OF the deceased.
After most careful investigation
and after listening to the evidence
of DR.. Humphris, who condemned
the action OF DIR. Howard, OF DR..
Howard himself, who gave evidence
detrimental to his own case, and OF
his clerk at the Dispsnsary, the jury
returned a verdict in accordance
with the medical evidence given,
but added rider in which DR..
Howard was severely censured.
DR.. Howard asked the Board OF
Health for an investigation, and for
reasons unknown to US the Police
Department actually allowed the
Board to meddle in matter beyond
its jurisdiction.
The duty of the Marshal would
have been to submit the evidence in
the case to the Attorney General,
who acts here as a grand jury. The
coroner is not responsible to the
Board OF Health, who really have
no power to act in the matter, and
whose "exoneration" OF DR.. Howard
amounts to nothing.
The verdict OF the coroner's Jury
stands, and il is for the Attorney
General to say whether further steps
shall be taken or not.
The public will rather believe the
verdict OF the six independent men
who, with the coroner, condemned
DIR. Howard's action in the case,
than accept the uncalled for YER
dict OF the members OF the Board OF
Health, of whom majority are pro-
fessionally pledged to stand shoul-
der to shoulder with their "brother,"
and at all hazards save the reputa-
tion OF any physician belonging to
the family compact.
Personally we have nothing against
DR.. Howard. We don't know him
and we have admired the wonderful
lightning manner in which he can
dispose of-we don't know how
many hundred cases in day. But
we do object to Board OF Health,
composed Of physicians, attempting
to constitute itself a court OF appeal
from coroner's inquest.
The Board of Health should be
composed Of business men OF in
tegrity and honor with a prominent
physician as president The matters
before the Board are affairs OF busi-
ness and not OF medical science. II

IMPROVEMENTS MADE.
Work In the school of Music Shows
Marked Improvement Changes In
Arrangement of Teaching Force.

A large erswd heard the recital of
the music school last night. 1t was
the first public recital for The pres
emit quarter and was OF particular
interest as showing the work and
progress OF the pupils OF the music
school for the quarter 1t would
take too much space to mention the
work OF each one on the programs;
yet each one deserves a separate
mention, On the program were rep
resentatives of all the departments.
The orchestra did we'll; The glee
clubs, always popular, were unusual
IL well received; the mandolin and
guitar club showed progress; The
representatives from the piano de-
partment played brilliantly; the vo-
ealists sang pleasantly; and the
choral society finished the program
with soft good night
There has been more specializa-
tion in the work of the music school
this year than ever before and there
are marks of it in this recital Miss
Martin has relieved Miss McMurphy
ofsome of her work SO that the advanc
ed pupils in piano have had closer at
tention from Miss MeMurphy about
whose efficiency and popularity
there are no two opinions in Nor
gantown. Miss Hester, too, has done
good work in the vocal department
and Director Ellenberger has had an
opportunity to give his whole time
to the glee club and other chorus
work a rousing organ recital is
promised when the much talked of
and sadly needed pipe organ has
been built.

MEETING POSTPONED.
Mothers Could not Get Together on
Account OF the Prevalence Of Measles
In Town.

The mothers meeting which was to
have been held at the Public School
building from three to four on Friday
afternoon has been postponed until
some later date. No definite time
has been fixed for it. The postpone
ment came as a result OF the preva-
lence Of measles in the district. 1t
was feared that the attendance would
be small as many Of the mothers had
to remain at home to look after the
children who are sick with this mall
ady.
The plan is "a most excellent one
and should be carried out at the
earliest practicable moment. Super
intendent Gallup is always on the
lookout for steps that will help the
school authorities and patrons to get
into closer touch. BY this means the
very best results will be attained. He
is the right man in the right place.

TWO CENTS
PECULIAR CASE.
Beautiful Preston County Girl
Dies Very Suddenly.

6
OF Someone Attempted Abortion
Probably the Cause Murder Theory
Advanced Bat not Credited NerT
Prominent Family Involved.
The following special was sent us
from Kingwood:
Sadie Moore, pretty iS-year-old
country girl whose home Is at Rohr,
near here, died suddenly Tuesday
night under most peculiar circum-
stances. Both murder and suicide
are limited at, and in the absence OF
her parents, who are in Pittsburg, the
physician who attended her during
her eight hours of illness declines to
make any statement.
1t is known the girl was In trouble
over love affair aud this, followed
by her mysterious death. has SET all
the neighborhood agog. It Is lnti-
mated that some one may have admin
istered poison TO the girl, while the
suicide theory seems well strength
ened. A rigid investigation will like
ly be made.
Telephone inquiry at Rohr reveal
ed the fact that the death had occur
ed under the most peculiar circum-
stances and that there was good
deal OF suppressed excitement over
the matter in that place. The gem
tleman who answered the phone how
ever refused TO talk about the affair
just now but stated that he would
have something TO give US later in re-
gard to 1t. He stated that an inves-
tigation would likely be made but by
whom and when he did not know.
Kingwood was called up and the
story was repeated from there and
more hints OF an investigation into
the circumstances Of the death we're
given but again nothing definite was
told about this phase of the matter.
The impression over there seemed to
be that 1t was case OF loving not
wisely but too we'll and the effort TO
get out of the difficulty had lead to
the death OF the wronged woman.
The family Is very we'll respected
one and live near Rohr. The girl was
very pretty and popular and had been
receiving attention from a young man
In the neighborhood for some time.
1t is said that he may know some
thing about why she should take
medicine that probably caused her
death.
The theory Of murder Ia not accept
ed by many people as there seems to
have been no motive for the crime.

WORK RESUMED.
Bridge Flooring Comes in and the work
Starts on it Again.

The material for the floor of the
bridge has again started to coming
in and the carpenters are at work
on the structure. They could
have had the work done before this
if they had had the lumber. 1t has
been impossible for them to get it
fast enough for any purpose. The
lumber business vas never rushed
as it is now owing to the almost
complete depletion of stocks as
the manufacturers let them run down
without an effort at keeping them
up.
The floor is being laid on the low
er side of the bridge and has reached
a point about midway of the
bridge. 1t will not be so very much
longer until it is completed.
