TOPICS OF THE DAY.

We bow to the authority OF men
like Drs. Yersen, Kitasato and Way
man on plague questions and express
our fear that our local bacteriolo.
gsts and learned medicine men are
not up to date on the questions in
volved in the disease now among us,
DR., Wood has frequently stated
that the danger of the plague
is in the soil and location while the
great authorities on plague say that
nobody has been able to de-
monstrate the presence OF virulent
plague baccilli in the soil of infect
ed localities" DR.. Wood suggested
at recent meeting of the Board of
Health that the case Of Levy was due
to inhalation and the great authori-
ties say that "Inhalation experiments
have thus far been negative" We
could continue this line of argu-
ment but will confne ourselves to
ask our "plague" doctors whether
they know anything about the di-
sease now killing off people in Ho-
nolulu and whether the learned me-
dicine men drawing big wages here
know more about the plague than
the average intelligent layman.-

critics"

On Sunday night, Sept. 2, tho spirit
of Miss Lucy Burgess s,aged go years, took
its flight at her home on Eighth street.
For some days she had been very Ill
with typhoid fever and her people and
friends who saw her knew 1t was only
II matter OF time when she must die.
She, with her mother, brother and
sister, moved here from near WhiLakers
in the spring.
She was a member o: dle Baptist
churc!, and was good, quiet christ
ian girl.
The remains were taken from the
residence at so O'Clock Monday aud
followed by large concourse of friends
were carried to the Baptist cemetery
and laid to rest, Rev. j. s. Crutchfield
reading the Scriptures and DIR. j. d.

those bereaved by this seemingly un-

Death Of Mr.. James S. Darden.

At his home in Scotland Neck, at
8 p. m. August 29th, after wasting
illness of several weeks from malarial
fever, Mr.. James s. Darden departed
from this life to enter into rest.
Having declared his faith in his merci-
full Savior, he was baptized, and re-
celved into the Episcopal church a
little while before his death. "Him
that cometh to me I will in no wise
wise cast OUT Thus speaks the Lord
of life.
Mr.. Darden was born in Plymouth,
Washington Co., N. c., the 22nd of
August, 1859, and he spent many
years OF his youth and early manhood
on iarln and In the loving care Of his
mother and sisters; and in that noble
service made himself the "victor over
all that tyranny or fortune can inf1ict." ?"
Mr.. Darden has left two brothers and
three sisters; wife and two little
children and a goodly number OF
sympathizing friends, who lament their
loss, but the grief of his wife can find
no expression in words.
He was inferred in the Episcopal
cemetery with the comforting rites OF
the Episcopal church, Aug. 3Oth at
about 6 p. m. IN the presence OF large
number of his sorrowing friends.
Life has for us many painful surprises
and bereavments, and we know not
their approach, it is often so stealthy,
till We put ourselves in the grasp
Of the swift inexorable current Of the
,lyer of time, whose waves sweep oyer
us, and bear away our hearts treasures
into that mysterious silence from
whence they return no more. And
our consolation must be that in little
while, we too, shall enter that realm, to
see and to know the things that now
are hidden from us. G. w. P.
