eulcKNEss mn DEBATE.
IL often Accomplishes More Than Well
studied Statistics.

eAAAAoAANes
Joseph NJ. Proskauer, of Mobile,
now n brilliant young lawyer OF New
York, was notable figure in the un,
dergraduate life of Columbia Uni.
yersity several years ago. He was a
member of the debating teams that
defeated the teams of Harvard and
Chicago Universities, and is at present
the coach of the Columbia debaters.
He found that the necessity for quick
thought in the face of surprise in de.
batting made his debut into court prac.
hce comparatively easy.
He was on the debating team OF
Columbia which advocated the popular
election of United States Senator'S,
against Harvard. Each side agreed
that the recollection OF Senators was
often beneficial to the nation at large,
but the Cambridge debaters claimed
that populaf elections would not ac-
oomplish this end. Columbia denied
this, and brought to its support that
particular folm of sophistry called
statistics" to the effect that members
of the House were as often reelected
as Senators.
The next Han 5ard speaker contro-
verted this statement with more statis.
tics, showing that Governors Of States
were seldom reelected, and claiming
that Governors and Senators would
share the same fate if their elections
were conducted the same way.
Mr.. Proskauer followed, and his
reply not only won the debate, but
fixed his status forever in the affec-
tons of the Columbians. With an
assurance born of daring he answered.:
"The comparison of the opposition
is worthless, because so many Gov
ernors, by reason of State Constitu-
tions, are debarred from reelection. 4"
The Harvard men were stunned.
This was view they had never
taken. They had no statistics to
cover this point, and therefore they
ignored it, and the debate went against
them.
This is where they were foolish, for
Mr. Proskauer knew no more about
State Constitutions in fact than they
did. 1t flashed across his mind that
one or two Northwestern States did
prohibit reelection of Governors.
How many more he did not know,
and does not know even to this day.
1t was simply bluff, but it won. -

The Month. to Marry In.

Some curious secrets as to matri.
mony are seen in the following stats.
tics: May and November are the most
marrying months. Fewer people are
married in March than in any other
month. When bachelors marry widows
the widow is generally the older; but
when widowers marry maids the maid
is usually the younger.

The impression has been given ont
that the marvellous extension of troll
ley lines throughout the country was
having a bad effect on the established
steam railroads by drawing passenger
traffic. 1t would appear from au
analysis Of the figures that this was a
premature assumption. The figures
show that the number OF passengers
carried by the steam roads in 1895
WAS about $500 600, whereas in
1899 it was but50, 800, 900. Thus the
number OF passengers handled de-
creased but The passenger income in
creased from SIS, 400, 900 to $l5,-
900, 900, because each passenger was
carried farther on the average. Last
year the number of passengers car
ried on trolley lines was about 60, =
900, 600, actually more than on steam
roads, aud the receipts were abous
50, 900, 900. The conclusion seems to
be that the trolley lines by concen.
traling local interests will eventually
benegt rather than iniNrs the steam
Eoads.

KItchener na n BoX.

As a boy Lord Kitchener, says
GOlden-Penny, was inclined to be lazy.
His father, Colonel Kitchener, who died
within the last ten years, was a strict
disciplinarian of a most autocratic
temperament. Whilehis son Herbert
was at public school working for
certain examination it was reported to
the colonel that he was idling. This
angered him, aud he told the future
conquoror of the Mahdi that unless ho
succeeded in passing his examination
he would take him away and send him
to walk two and two in DANES school,
adding the further threat that if he
failed then he would apprentice him to
halter In spite of these threats tho
embryo General failed. His father
kept his word, and for some time Her
bert Kitchener might have been seen
in the crocodile" of a certain worthy
schoolmistress. But when he again
went il for his examination he passed.
II he had not there is little doubt that
for a short time at any rate he might
have been employed in the hat trade.
For Colonel Kitchener was a severe
man of his word, and martinez of the
old school, of which paternal charac-
teristics Lord Kitchener of Khartoum
has a large share.

DR.. CARMICHAEL HONORED'
CHIEF QUARANTINE OFFICER IN
THE PHILIPPINES.
Announcement Comes to Him by Tele-
gram From Surgeon General wyman.
Will Leave Soon for Manila.

DR.. D. A. Carmichael has been made
Chief Quarantine officer for the Philip
pine Islands.
The Gaelic brought him a tel gram
from Surgeon General Wyman notify
ing him that an order making this cp-
pointment and promotion had been is
sued and for him to hold himself in
readiness to leave for his new field by
the first steamer after receiving the e.
fetal order The telegram is dated Jan
uary 4, so that it is possible dhe order
may arrive by the Australia though It
is more likely to come by a later steam
er possibly the Hong Kong Maru.
The date of the telegram is within a
day or two of the arrival of the news IN
Washington of the breaking out of an
epidemic, similar to the plague, in the
Philippines, and the conference between
Secretary of War Root and Surgeon
General Wyman who is at the head t
the Marine Hospital Service. 1t seems
probable therefore that this appoint
ment came as result of this confer
ence and in that event is a compliment
to Dr. Carmichael from the War De-
partment as well as from the Marine
Hospital Service with which he has
been so long connected.
AS Chief Quarantine Officer of the
Philippines, DR.. Carmichael will have
extensive jurisdiction and wide powers.
Not alone Manila but every port in the
archipelago will be within his jurisdic-
tion.
DR.. Carmichael has been in the Unit
ed States Marine Hospital Service for
many years and has been assigned to
many important positions and duties
! in that service, positions and duties re-
! quiring not only high scientific and
! professional attainments but admins
! trative and executive qualities. In these
/ positions and duties he has made many
/ valuable reports, and done much to ad-
vance what is known as state or sani-
/ tary medicine to the present high posi-
/ ton it occupies.
! He came here soon after annexation
as the representative of the Marine
Hospital Service and the officer of that
service in the Islands. Since coming
here he has made many friends both in
the profession and out of it, all of
whom not only congratulate him on his
advancement but feel that it is well de.
served.
He married some months ago Mrs
Hastings, widow of the late Franl
Hastings, Secretary of the Hawaiian
Legation in Washington. His wife viii
accompany him to his new post goini
as far as Yokohama with him and re
naming there until he can make suit
able ARRANGEMENTS in Manila.
THE appointment is an advancement
at which l feel gratifed, of course,
said DR.. Carmichael, speaking of 1t
1T carries with it great responsibilities
and hard work. But I shall have assist
ance commensurate with these"
The notification of the appointment
coming by telegraph, no announcement
was made of who his successor her
will be.

MINISTER COOPER GREETED
WITH SHOT GUNS.
The People Refuse to Allow Sheriff An
drews to Land After He Visits the
Kinau.

The town of Hilo has come out in
open rebellion against the government
and threatens to resist by force any at
tempt to carry out rules made by the
authorities here. Reports from the Ha-
waii town indicate a condition border
ing on panic among the people, who
seem ready to offer mob violence to rep
resentatives of the government. The
sending of troops to enforce the laws is
now being discussed as a result of the
reception given to Minister Cooper.
representing the Cabinet and the Board
of Health.
Minister Cooper was not allowed to
land when he arrived at Hilo. The Ha-
wall metropolis is worked into a frenzy
of excitement by the plague news and
those on shore even tried to keep Sher-
if Andrews from returning, after he
had made a visit to Mr.. Cooper on the
Knau. Not only the organized move
ment to keep off communication with
Honolulu manifested itself, but mob
armed with guns and stones made an
ugly demonstration at the landing.
When the Kinau arrived in Hilo har-
Dor Minister Cooper at once started
ashore in small boat. He was met by
Sheriff Andrews, who stated that no
landing would be allowed. After good
deal of discussion the sheriff agreed to
visit the Kinau for a consultation with
the minister who had the order to dis
charge Andrews in his pocket. What the
result of the conference was was not
reported to the Mauna Lo which
brought the news of this trouble today.
When the sheriff had had his con-
| ference with the minister he started to
| return to the shore, and was given a
| shot gun reception. There were crowds
| of people on the landing and many or
| them threatened to stone him If he
| came close to the landing. Remon-
STRANGE was of no avail with the excit-
! ed Hiloites and Andrews had to put
! back to the Kinau. Hilo had determin-
| ed that no one from Honolulu should
! set foot in the town and at last ac-
counts the people remained ready to use
| force even against the government.
| Minister Cooper's show of authority
was of not the slightest avail and the
people at Hilo did not mind being told
they were in rebellion against the gov
ernment. 1--WE don't care if it was the
President Of the United States they
shouted, He could not land here
Sheriff Andrews finally succeeded in
getting ashore He secured the aid Of
the L. S. Survey ship Pathfinder, which
vessel was in the harbor. In one Of her
boats he was finally landed and then
began another stormy meeting in Hllo.
The Mauna Loa waited at Kailua TO
hear the decision of Hilo, but no news
was given. 1t was announced that noth-
ing definite would be done till Tuesday
morning. In Hilo harboT were the XII
, nau, Maui, Helene, Kilauea Hou and
Kaiulani, all at anchor and unable TO
have any communication with the
shore,

NONE NEED FFAR MONEY
PLANTS FOR DIsINFECTING IT IN
OPERATION.
Bishop & Company and the Treasury
Department win Purify All Money
Coming over Their Counters.

No one need refuse to accept money
for fear it will carry the infection of
plague with it. Bishop & Company's
bank and the treasury department are
putting in fumigating plants that will
effectively purify any money that
comes over the counters of these two
institutions, almost making bad money
good.
At the bank perfectly air tight stone
vault is being utilized as the lethal
chamber for all microbes whose at
tachment to money leads them to death.
At the bottom will be placed a charcoal
brazier in which the fumigating agent,
sulphur will be burned Above this
will be perforated metal trays in which
the money and the representations of
money to be fumigated, will be placed
loosely so that the fumes will thor
oughly permeate it, leaving no possi-
bility of any infection remaining.
The plant will be completed some time
today. AS soon as it is completed, each
deposit as it comes in will be placed in
thin cheese-cloth bag, gold, silver, pa
per money, checks, drafts, deposit slip,
pass book and everything, the bag tied
up and marked with the customers
name, and placed in one of these trays
At the close of banking hours, the sui
phur will be set burning and the fumes
will have all night i'm which to do theiI
work. The next morning the bags will
be opened, the money counted and the
proper credits given. Tonight the money
in the bank will be fumigated, so that
after today, nothing will pass out over
the counter of Bishop & Company
| bank which has not been thoroughly
! fumgated
! At the treasury department the same
method will be adopted. a ceiled and
| air tight redwood box of suitable size
! has been made to be used as "A fumi-
eating chamber and the same process
of fumigaton will be gone through
with. Sulphur as the fumlgating asenl
was adopted after consultation with the
| Board of Health.
| 1t has been the practice Of all the
! banks, since the plague appeared, tC
/ thoroughly disinfeCt and fumigate al
money sent to the other islands Now
/ the plan Of fumigating all money ha.
/ been adopted.
