AN INTERESTING CASE.

The medical profession of Mankato
and vicinity are very much interested
in an operation recently performed
successfully by DIR. Brandenburg at st:
Joseph s hospital. Mrs. Geo: SAWYER,
of this city. was suddenly taken very
i'll from rupture of IAN internal blood
vessel, which resulted in filing the
abdomen with blood, and her life was
gradually ebbing away. DR.. Brandon
burg. assisted by Drs. Hielscher and
Bjelland, performed daring opera
tion, replacing the lost blood by "a
saline solution and the patient has
just been discharged perfectly well
from the hospital One Of our Oldest
physicians said he had never seen such
case. Such cases are generally con-
sidered hopeless but by bold and skill
full surgery the patients life was
saved.

Camp Mckinley feels much elated over
the appointment of two of the batterymen

took place at the Preside lately. The ar
nouncements We're made in the general
dispatches and in the Army and Navy

is George Herbst, whose name appeared
on the roster of X Battery as mechanic.
He also acted as company clerk for a
ong period and was known as a studious.
well-informed man. He went to San
Francisco some time ago and passed his
examinations with creditable honors.
Corporal Theodore Koch of l Battery

the local garrison. He took his exami-

manner his appointment became pigeon

.REGAIT DAYS
Crews Making Readyfor
Events.
Healani Seniors and Myrtle Juniors
Seem to Have the Lead
at Present.

Judging from the public interest be-
at Pearl Harbor it is hard to believe
weeks distant. Whether this lack of
interest is due to the mediocrity of this
seasons competing crews or to the
strained exclusiveness which is being
shown by all three clubs is a matter of
question; the fact remains that the
general public which in years past has
gone into paroxysms of enthusiasm over
the contest for the aquatic Blue Rib
bon, doesn't apparently care this year
one iota who wins or whether there is
a race at all.
OF course a goodly number will go
down in crowds to Pearl Harbor on
September Sth and the picnicking fea-
lures of past years will be in evidence,
but it looks as if the customary keen
ness over the events will be wanting
and this is, from a sporting point of
view, very deeply to be regretted.
The crews are reported to be doing
well in their training, more particular
ly the Healani Senior and the Myrtle
Junior crews whose prospects of car
rying off honors are undeniably bright.
The Oahu Railroad Company is max
ing special arrangements to accommo-
date visitors to Pearl Harbor and an
extra train may be run down in the
afternoon.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that there
will be no mislaying of the judges on
this occasion as was the case last year
when much time and temper were
wasted by the unfortunate spectators,
who were patiently waiting for the last
race to start. 1t would not be a bad
plan this year to send the judges down
in special car, carefully tagged and
labelled. By this means fairly pune
tual start might be made.
The Healani senior crew looks like
J. Warehouse, Paul Jarrett, Dan Re-
near and Fred Damon. The Junior shell
| will probably be composed of A. w
Walcott, p. Gleason, CASTOR Boisse and
w. Williams.
| Regatta Day on September 18th will
be a joyful time. 1t is the peoples
holiday and every family, rich or poor
Hawaiian or haole, who can possibly
get there will be down by the harpor or
that day. Scrub crews of Healani and
Myrtle men will help to entertain and
amuse, but yacht racing will be the
| feature, and the Bonnie Dundee, Eva
Myrtle and Prince David's new fIyer
the Vi-ke, will figure as the star per-
formers.
There will also be races for canoes
whale boats, and all kinds of small
craft, as well as swimming, diving and
other water sports. In fact the day
viii be one long water frolic and pleas
ure will reign supreme.

crushed into fragments and the serpent

been reported by the usual narrator OF

snake would have been attributed to the

The oysters themselves were firm but
exceedingly tender, and had e. pecu-
liarly peppery favor, different from
anything else have ever tasted. The
Chinaman who did the cooking told me
he had simply boiled the dried oysters
in water and added small strip of
pork and seasoning. When I tried to
probe into the seasoning feature he
suddenly lost command of English, so

INVITING A PLAGUE.

Without desire to arraign any depart
ment of the local government but mere
ly to advise and warn, the Advertiser
hoists, this morning, some plain danger
signals. The city, despite the hard
work of men like DR.. Pratt, is getting
filthy again; some of the worst abuses
are connected with public buildings, IN
GLIDING schools; actions brought
| against the owners of pest holes are
treated with Indifference by the courts
and requests for thel cleaning up of
nasty places directly Under the control
and the nostrils of the government lead
to nothing but representation. The
truth is that Honolulu is repeating the
history of those years of neglect of asim@'
(ple sanitary rules which followed the
unlearned lesson of the cholera scourge
and which preceded the visitation of
the black death.
The city is taking serious chances.
1t is on a sea route between San Fran
cisco, which was lately infected with
the bubonic plague and ports of Asia
which are always more or less affected
by some form of pestilence. 1t is also
in trade with the Colonies where the
bubonic malady has shown itself since
early spring. One steamer, regularly
stopping here (the Coptic) lately had
rats dead Of bubonic plague in its hold
and was held in quarantine because OF
a human victim. We are putting Ho-.
nolulu in such a state that if an infect
ed rat comes ashore from any of these
ships II will find the city ripe for infec-
ton. We are dirty and don't care.
Yet the courts have it in their power
to apply a partial remedy. If they
would give the limit of the law to every,
owner convicted of maintain
ing a public nuisance. the area of filth,
would soon, become BEAUTIFULLY less. AS
to the GoNesnment itself, If it winks
at nuisances, perhaps the courts could
find no way to interfere; but we can
guarantee the courts that if they Will
deal i'm lust severity with private Of
tenders the press will soon shame pub
lie ones into decency and Honolulu will
be clean again.

Australian cable schemes do not de-
Ivelop much faster than the American
VTrans-Pacific cable enterprises. The
subject evokes vague Parliamentary
promises and little more. There is rea-
son to suspect that Australia would be
glad. for few years to come, to avail
herself of the proposed American cable,
connection with which could be had via
Singapore and Manila. Feeling is now
so kindly between the two great Anglo
Saxon powers that the argument for a
cable exclusively in British control is
not so impressive as 1t once was, es-
peciaily when the earnings of British
cable are computed In the. light of its
cost.
