At THE POST Of DANGER
THOSE WHO ATTENDED THE PEST
PATIENTS.
These Walked in the Valley of the
That wasteth at MONDAY.

Armstrong Smith today finished his
quarantine period of fifteen days after
nursing and attending plague patients
for two months. Mr.. Smith was prompt
to volunteer his services for the pest
house, as he was four years ago dur
ing the cholera epidemic.
But Mr.. Smith is not the only one
who has attended the plague stricken
patients in the hour and article of
death or during the happier hours Of
ConValeScenCe and recovery; and no
one is more generous in praise of those
who shared equal danger with him,
than he. Others who have attended the
wants of the sick in the pest hospital
are Charles Elvin, Ordnance Sergeant
of the National Guard, Captain John
De Graves, Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Merrill,
Miss Falkner, and in addition Frederick
Franz attended and nursed his wife
all through her struggle with the plague
and her convalescence.
Elvin had charge of the Rifle range
at Kakaako. When the first pest house
was located there he remained with
Captain De Graves until the new pest
house was started when he transferred
his services there. Armstrong Smith
speaks in the highest terms of his
work.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Merrill are pro-
fessonal nurses from the Sanitarlum
at Battle Creek, Michigan. Though
their services are not gratuitous they
volunteered to go into the pest house,
and their trained ability was of great
| service there. For much of the time
Mrs. Merrill has had charge of the sus-
| pect cases.
! Captain John De Graves has been
| specially employed in connection with
| that part of the pest house work Incl
| dent to a hospital but not coming un-
der the distinct head of nursing. His
| services have been invaluable parti-
cularly in connection with the Hawai-
ians who have been there.
| Miss Falkner is a young Honolulu
woman who speaks very modestly OF
! what she has done, but who never
| theless deserves great credit for doing
! it.
When Mrs. Franz was taken to the
hospital, her husband went with her
devoting himself to her case. She is
now pronounced cured and will be re-
leased as soon as her quarantine peri
Cd is over.
In add tion to these there have been

brought out by the present visitation
of pestilence none are more admirable
than those displayed in the promp

ONE SUSPICIOUS CASE
A CASE FROM THE CHINESE
HOSPITAL.
Symptoms of Plague, Though Conf
plant may be Typhoid Fever-An
Autopsy Being Held.

DIR. Hoffman has in hand at the Board
of Health morgue a case that is viewed
as somewhat suspicious. An autopsy
is being conducted, but the result will
not be reported until later in the after
noon.
The victims name is All Sing, China
man, aged Is. He was taken to the
Chinese hospital in Palama at an early
hour this morning where he was seen
short time later by DIR. Jobe The
physician found him in a dying condi-
ton, of a high fever and swellings of
the aXillary glands. The case was re-
garded as decidedly suspicious, on a
basis of symptoms, although typhoid
fever might, in its last stages, show the
same results. The man died about IL
o'clock and was taken to the morgue
shortly after noon.
All Sing resided in an Apana in Pa
lama inspected by N. Fernandez. When
his name was first entered upon the in
spection roll he stated that he worked
at the Club stables. No significance is
attached to this fact, however, as the
stables have been quarantined longer
than the incubation period. The state
ment is made that he was sick sixteen
days, which seems to indicate that the
trouble was typhoid fever.
DR.. Hoffman this morning submitted
to President Wood, of the Board of
Health, the following report of his eX-
animation of a boy near Makaha be-
yond Wainae yesterday
Temperature of boy in Makaha was
1916; pulse good; swelling of left fem
oral gland; bad looking abcess over the
big toe. Microscopical examinations
of the excretiOns of the wound and
specimens taken with the needle from
the gland did not show plague bacilli.
Cultures are made"
DR.. Hoffman had quite a trip, taking
from $3.50 to 6. He had to ride far in
to the moutains to find the case On
the way down he used Mr.. Dilling-
hams car, which made the trip COM
| Portable.
DIR. Wood states that watchman Val.
poon, of the Hotel stables, is in quaran.
| tine at Kalihi. The reason he was moi
| taken at the time the Portuguese anC
| Chinese were sent to Kalihi was be.
cause the Board of Health knew exact
ly where to put it's hands upon h'm Il
a quarantine of the stables was deter.
mined upon.
A second body at the morgue for pos
mortem this afternoon is that of al
old native man brought from a hous,
near the bridge below Nuuanu OIL
School street this morning. There il
some slight uneasness about this case
although little will be known until tn
autopsy is complete. He was unat
tended up to the time of his death.

PULLING A GRINDsToNE.
Splendid Polish of the Floor of the Drill
Shed.

Pulling a nine hundred pound grind
stone around the floor of the drill shed
is the latest occupation found by
Chester Doyle for the Japanese in his
camp. The men do not seem to be in
love with work and as a means of CIV
ing them desire to get out and get
work for themselves the grindstone
plan was adopted.
The big floor of the drill shed is get
ting as smooth as glass 1t will be the
finest dancing floor in the city when
the Japs in Doyle's camp get through
with it. There is sand and water on
the floor and the heavy stone being
dragged over it is making a splendid
polish. The nine hundred pounds is in
creased by the weight of several Japs
who sit on the grindstone. 1t is a queer
scene when the crowd of men get hold
of the rope and begin to drag the stone
round the hall, They do not enjoy the
pastime, but there is the order "No
work, no eat" and so there is nothing
for it but to give a hand at making the
floor polish perfect
The energies of the men might be
better employed, the superintendent
says, if there was wood to chop, or
some stones to be broken. A lot of
energy is certainly being wasted The
floor is very well polished already, and
if an equal amount of energy were de-
voted to some useful employment, the
men might pay for their own board and
lodging.

ago when the horses were removed to
the second floor Seepings from the
stalls ran into drains and from there
to properly constructed cesspools.
Thus the ground received none of the
filth from the stables and the work of
keeping the premises clean was compa-

CITIZENS COMMITTEE PAYS FOR
THAT MANY.
Nearly Ton of Poison at $500 a Ton.
Distributed-Rat Traps Prove a
Success.

Between 500 and 500 dead rats have
been reported to and paid for at the
Citizens Sanitary Committee head
quarters since February 20. 1t Is be-
lieved that there are good many in
addition which have been paid for by
the sub-inspectors but not yet reported
to the committee.
The largest single bags" of rats
have been respectively 1879, 1856 and 60.
These came from the region around
camp Mckinley and Kapiolani park.
Some Of the soldiers have found rat
killing a means of adding to their
spending money.
The sub-inspectors report that only
a small proportion of the rats shown
them died from the official rat poison.
One inspector says that three out ot
twenty reported to him We're found
dead presumably having died from
the poison. The others were caught in
traps, by dogs and cats, or We're killed
with sticks and stones.
A TON OF POISON.
The Citizens Committees contract
with Benson, Smith q Company, was
| for an amount up to 1000 pounds at Is
cents a pound or $500 for the ton. The
contract stipulated for a ten per cent
solution of arsenic in the poison. The
blocks of wood in which 1t was placed
was a separate contract with one of
the planning mills at a cent and a quar-
ter for each block. Twenty thousand
blocks were ordered, making the con-
tract $3.50. There has been no COM
plant that the blocks were not all
right.
In addition there was the expense Of
getting out the circulars in five lar
guages explaining the distribution of
! The poison and urging it's USE and
! there was some expense attached to
distributing the poison.
it is reported at the Committees
headquarters that there has been no
| call for the poison since the first dis
tIibution.
| EXPERIMENTS IN TOXICOLOGY.
Experiments continue to be made
with George w. Smiths rat poison.
The force of men employed in clearing
up the burned districts caught six live
rats and put them in a cage and under
| observation. Smiths rat poison was
put in the cage with them and a look
out kept on the proceedings. Two well
| grown, adult but youthful rats were
seen to eat heartily of the poison and
| later to come back to the block for
more. George w. Smith heard of the
experiment and hired hack to 20 over
and see it, After watching the rats
awhile he went away leaving a request
that if the rats died he be notified by
telephone. AT the end of a day and a
half, one very old rat in the bunch,
who was not seen to eat any of the
poison, did die, as the ocular post NOR
tenn made by the watchers disclosed,
from old age and inanition. At the end
of the thirty-siX hour experiment the
watchers decided to kill the rats with
an axe.

A NOVEL SIGHT.
A Hollow Tree Burning From the
Inside.

People driving along King street at
the Waikiki turn for two nights follow
in the burning of the Chinese shack
there We're treated to a very interesting
sight. A large, hollow, but still grow
ing algeroba tree caught fire from the
burning house. The sparks ignited in
side the tree and continued to burn
slowly. AT night the whole outline of
the tree was figured against the dark
ness by the glow of the fire within 1t,
both the hollow in the tree and the fire
extending up into the large branches.
Everybody who passed was attracted
by the novel sight and many stopped
to witness it. Last night the fire had
eaten away the tree to such an extent
that the heavy branches came crashing
down, and this morning only a part
of the trunk stands, blackered and
charred as though a forest fire had
swept over it.

Undoubtedly many nervous people suf-
fer from troubles purely imaginary; dis
eases which exist only in the mind OF
the patient. and such troubles furnish a
fertile field for the quack as well as for
faith healers and Christian Science treat
ment
However. there is one common and an
moving disease which IS in no sense Of the
word imaginary, and that is Piles.
Pile sufferers do not need physician
to tell them what is the matter; there is
no obscurity about 1t. Neither viii a

cannot deceive a pile sufferer into beliey
Ing he is being cured, because the pain
and itching from which he sufferers is
not imaginary and cannot be cured by
imagination. A pile remedy must have
unmistakable merit, 1t must relieve the
pain and cure the disease speedily or it
will be condemned
Mr.. w. n. Dunn of 5719 Shields ave,
Chicago, writes: st am indebted to the
Pyramid Pile Cure a thousand times for
the speedy relief and permanent cure of a
severe case of piles. I was cured per-
fectly with one 5O-cent box and more
than that I still have three of the Pyra-
mids left Of the box I did not need to

grandest thing of the age and shall GER

THE manufactures of the Pyramid Pile
Cure are at perfect liberty to refer any
person to me and 1 will gladly answer
any correspondence. I am so grateful for
my cure that I want all pile sufferers to
find the same relief"
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure
