How to Save Doctor Bills.

We have saved many doctor bills

a bottle open all the time and when

begin to use the Cough Rene

HARBOR MASTER FULLER'S NEW
ASSISTANT.
A Man to Look After the Sorting and
Delivery of straightforward to
COnsignees.

The appointment of Captain Freese
to look after Strengthening out freight
on the waterfront and see that it is
| properly delivered, is a step towards
giving Honolulu wharfinger who can
| give his time to the work. BY law
Captain Fuller, harbor master, is the
Wharfnger of Honolulu but when
the captain gets through moving
vessels every day with Captain
Trips assistance, there is no
time for wharfinger business. The two
captains in the harbor masters office
have been working from daylight till
after dark for many months, since the
harbor became so full of vessels that
much moving about to make room was
necessary, and since transports began
to take docks away from other YES
sells, compelling them to move.
Captain Freese is directly under the
supervision of Captain Fuller, the lat
ter being wharfinger. At present he is
at work at the Pacific Mail wharf.
where the freight of half a dozen
steamers is piled up. The tremendous
work of fumigating it all and the rap
idity with which it was discharged in
a space too small for it, made a good
deal of confusion unavoidable, and the
captain will have his hands full for a
time.
1t is expected that the new official will
make 1t much easier in future for cop-
signees to get their freight, as there is
work enough for one man most of the
time to keep different consignments
separate and look after deliveries. He
may also assist Captain Fuller in the
latter's other work

GOOD LUCK.

A strange story comes from New
Guinea of the loss and recovery of
gold worth e1,40O. A party of miners
returning from the Mambare gold field
IN a cutter accidently allowed three
bags of gold to fall overheard when 80
miles from port. On their arrival at
Samarai reward of so was offered
and a lugger and a cutter went in
search of the lost gold After diving
for some time in four fathoms without
result, the owner of the cutter gave
arders to heave up the anchor, and
when the anchor came up one of the
bags of gold was found stuck in the
fukes. The other bags were then soon
located and recovered

COLLECTOR sTACKABLB's BUSY
DAY.
Applications for Places Still Coming In
The Personal Friend of President
Mckinley on Deck.

A steady stream of applications for
places on the custom house force con-
tinued today. Collector Stackable now
has list of men who want jobs that
is long enough to supply all depart
ments, and he has only about twenty
appointments to hand out The appli-
cants are of all classes, old and Young,
and of all nationalities. They have all
sorts of pulls to work. Meanwhile the
collector and other officers are going
through the list and selecting men. The
appointments will probably be made on
Monday.
Among the latest arrivals on the
scene was a man from Washington,
who had all the power of a personal
friendship for Mckinley to back his APP
plication for chance to work for sixty
dollars a month. He wanted to know
who was giving out the jobs, and final
ly started, with winding, devious trail
to find Stackable. It'll pay him to
give me jobsh," said the applicant, with
an impressive stare. I'm pershonal
friendsh McKinlish."
There is to be another district officer
under the new plan, and one of the
present inspectors may be promoted tt
the place. 1t Is probable that there viii
also be some more discharging inspec-
tors, as the force is very inadequate
One of the present force recently had
the task if dscharging four ships at
once.
The number of the applicants is com
mented upon as showing that Honolulu
must have received fgretaoshrdlupua
must have received great additions late
ly to her population of people seeking
employment. The list is likely to reacf
nearly two hundred.

A RESUME OF THE PLAGUE
CASES IN HONOLULU AND THE
ISLANDS.
Progress of the Disease in the Past Five
Months-Believed it is Ended for Aye
Sources of Infection.

During the prevalence of plague in
Honolulu there were seventy cases all
told, not counting the one of Herman
M. Levy, which was never finally dag
nosed. OF the number siXty-one died,
and nine recovered completely. on
Maui there were nine cases and nine
deaths. At Hilo, one death. This gives
eighty cases and seventy-one deaths for
the entire group.
In Honolulu majority of the patients
were found after death had taken place.
or when the cases were so far gone
that there was no chance of saving life.
On Maui four of the patients had died
and one was dying when the identity
of the ailment was suspected. Two more
were added to the list of dead before
the plague was definitely located at
Kahului. Since that time a Chinaman
died i'm the detention camp there and
Miss Julia English succumbed at her
residence in the village.
At Hilo there was but one case that
of Mrs, Serao. Although the bacter-
iologists were positive of their diagno-
| sis, no absolute channel of infection
was discovered, unless it was in the
throwing of infected articles in the
| ditch which passes the Serrao premises.
That there were no other cases in the
same house is not surprising in view of
! the fact that numerous Instances of the
| same kind happened here.
This has been a strange feature of
! the plague. In not a single case was
! infection traced to the patient, unless
! ii be in the second Chinaman from the
| Pantheon stables, who slept with All
Man in the hayloft. All through China
! town there was never two members of
! the same family stricken except in the
/ case of the woman and child from the
! Blue Gate premises. The first bad case,
! that of the South Sea Islander, was in
a house with twenty-eight other peo-
pie, several of whom waited upon the
man before death occurred. Not a sin
gle case appeared among this number
of people, although there were two VIC
tins in the block opposite the house oc-
cupied by them.
1t is believed that the plan of the
Board of Health in destroying infected
| and suspect premises was the proper
one, in that the plague has presumably
been stamped out for all time. In AL
exandria and other cities where they
do not resort to fire the aim Is not to
stamp, but to check for period of time.
In loss Of property, loss of business
of tourist travel and reputation, Homo
lulu is many millions of dollars poorer
than Ahe was twelve months ago.

A MURDERER ESCAPES
MoRCELLO BREAKS AWAY FROM
PRISON GANG.
Was Working Under Guard at Kalihi
Brush-Escapes to Eva District.

Ditogni Morcello, serving a ten-year
sentence for murder, escaped from the
prison gang this morning and is now
somewhere in the district of Eva, a
fugitive from justice, with mounted po-
lice and sherin's men in pursuit.
Morcello was in what is known at the
prison as the tough gang" numbering
twenty mine, employed in the Kalihi
quarry. The gang was guarded by
three lunas. About $3.50 o'clock this
morning Morcello broke away from the
gang, bounded out of the quarry and
into the brush and lantana. Several
shots were fired at him but without eff
feet. The lunas in charge of the gang
did not dare to allow their attention to
be diverted wholly from the rest of the
gang, for on the instant it was not
known whether or not Morcello's es-
cape was a part of a general plan of
escape of the whole gang.
Word was at once sent to the prison,
and to the marshal of what had hap
pened. Six mounted police from town
were at once hurried to the scene, and
took up the pursuit. The prisoner was
followed out toward Halawa, when ii
was found that he had eluded the guard
there and got into the Eva district.
The sheriff and police over there were
notified and have Joined in the pursuit
The crime for which Morcello was
serving time was the killing of Biasi
Shdele late Saturday night, August r.
Both men were employed in Moanalua
and the killing was preceded by an ev-
ening's debauch. The man killed was a
much larger and more powerful man
than Morcello, and self-defense was the
defense interposed on the trial. The
shooting was done with a revolver of IS
calibre. Immediately after the shooting
Morcello fled to the mountains, firing
occasional shots as he fled, as if to inn
press on those who heard, the danger OF
pursuit. The next day he came into
Honolulu and surrendered himself tC
the police. The victim of his shot died

THE END Of QUARANTINE
ALL RESTRICTIONS PAU MONDAY
MORNING.
Honolulu VIII BE a Clean City After
romorrow-Plans of the Board for
Lifting Restrictions.

Quarantine will be up Monday morn
ing The restrictions will be enforced
until that time. Several people tried to
get permits to go to the country tomor-
row, but We're refused. They Thought
this a little hard, being so near the end
of quarantine, but the Board of Health
was firm A gentleman on an Island
steamer wanted to come up town. He
was told to wait until Monday morning.
At the office of the Board prepara-
| tions are making today for getting back
to the normal status. There will not
be any great changes at once in the
personnel of the force. as there is a
great deal of back work to be straight
ened out Jack McVeigh will continue
in charge of Mr. Reynolds duties for
the present-probably until the time
when DR. Garvin is fully in the harness.
The force of inspectors under Mr..
Towse will continue for the present. No
changes will be made for two weeks
anyway, and it is likely that a large
part of the force will be kept on per-
monently.
Mr.. Mayfield and his assistants in the
freight department will leave tomorrow
night. Restrictions at quarantine wharf
will be removed and the big gang OF
men there will be allowed to come into
town. All the vessels will come out
of quarantine, and the sailors will be
allowed to come and go at will. This
!
still some men who have not been
ashore since December r.
The United States tug Iroquois has
never quarantined against Honolulu,
her men moving as usual back and
! forth between the city and the ship.
so that little difference will be made to
I that crew. IT Is the men on Island ves-
| sells that have suffered most.
There will be a huStling out of town
Monday. Many people have their eyes
on Waialua, and Colonel Iaukeas hotel
will doubtless be crowded i'm a few days.
Some will go over the Pail. and others
to the Peninsula. 1t is expected that
there will be a great inward travel
from the other Islands, for the country
people have been as anxious to get to
town as the town people have been to
| get out. Restrictions on foreign travel
will be removed at the same time, so
that persons leaving by the next steam
| ers will not take the prophvactic, Clean
| bills of health will be given to ell out
| ward vessels.
