Wednesday. The disease was typhoid
fever, but it was found that he was suffer-

lung was badly affected. He was only
conscious at intervals after his father and
sister reached him. Every thing that the
best medical attendance and the most ten

even that could not keep him, and the

IT TAKES SCIENCE TO REVEAL NATURE AT

In many ways Nature is all right just she is
and when the hand of man attempts to improve
upon Her works, botchy job, to say the least
often results
There are, however, great many instances
where by little human hep Natures best gifts
are doubly enhanced in value and brought forth
from obseurity in manner that is causing this
century to be known Of progress.
Ihefe Is nothing In the way Of discovery that
will prove Of greater benefit to man in general and
to the inhabitants of this part Of America In par
ticular than Vinol. which represents old and
valuable remedy introduced in new and practical
form. Vnol is being hailed by physicians and pa

for annihilating certain diseases of a wasting ma

Vinol, as IT is sold today is fast becoming what

Cod liver oil, account Of the peculiar medicinal
properties which 1t contains. has been known to

in its new FORM which is nothing more or less than
the identical, potent remedial factors that have
made the Gods liver famous. This discovery
consists only In finding a way Of extracting the

obtained are dissolved in mild, delicious and deli

Plea Against Cruelty to Animals.

Plea Against Cruelty to Animals.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
If there is a Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals in your city / would
like to throw out a suggestion to that
praiseworthy organization. 1 have been
sojourner in Washington for some time
past, and during my stay have noticed the
way your citizens treat their horses. 1t is
very true that the horse was created as a.
beast of burden to minister to the life and
comfort and in many cases the pride of
man. but he was not made to be treated
with cruelty by his monarch-man. And
when l see a poor horse with his head
checked so high and tightly that he can
scarcely breathe move the muscles in his
neck, or where burdened with load that is
far beyond his strength. 1 wonder how man
can be so heartless. and 1 imagine I can
hear the poor horse testifying in one sad
voice that mine is cruel master" The
above conditions can be seen on the streets
of Washington almost every day In the
year. SO in view of this fact let us hears
more.voices in defense Of the poor animals.
and let there be more frequent sentence
passed on his cruel oppressors.

portion of the newly. elected statesmen are

On the other hand, Hawaii has long con-
Quoted its legislation with good success un-
der a system Of very restricted suffrage.
Precedents of action are we'll established.
30 many are accustomed to handle the ma
chinery of legislation that some useful work
may hope to be ground out. / am sorry to
say that In former days, the less reputable
the character of the legislators, especially
under the late Kalekaua, the more amena-
BILE they were found to be to private infiu-
ences, where prices were by no means high.
The Chinese were found to have speciai
aptitude in applying such motives. 1t Will
not be strange ii our coming Legislature
should be largely handled by such methods.
City Government of Honolulu.
The subject Of municipal government
promises to be very serious one. UP TO
this time we have had no municipalities
whatever. Everything has been done by
the central government. All concede that
Honolulu, with it's nearly $4,000 people, is in
great need of incorporation as a city, with
its own local government At the same
time. all owners Of property here extremely
dread the day when officials chosen by the
great rabble of irresponsible natives shall
exercise the power of levying taxes and eX-
pending money. The coming municipal gov
ernment Is to be organized by this legisla-
ture with its majority Of incompetent ana
unprincipled men, who would reject with
scorn any advice from our executive. The
prospect Is not a pleasant one.
The Weather.
The exceptionally hot summer here has
been succeeded by III Usually heavy rains
during the past six weeks. The rain was
deluging on the Island of Maui. Being ac-
ccmpanied by a violent gale there was
some destruction Of property. 1t was more
of a storm than has occurred in these parts
for many years. You know that our group
is absolutely exempt from anything like
hurricane or typhoon, just as we are wholly
exempt from the extreme heats of the
tropics, or even your Washington summer
heats.
Wireless Telegraphy.
1t Is a pleasure to note the practical sue
cess of the wireless Marconi telegraph be-
tween our islands. The experts have
been for several months at work installing
the stations upon the different islands. but
seemed to have encountered serious OBJ
stacles. Mr.. Marconi finally sent out a
special expert named Gray, who Immediate
ly discovered the cause, which was one
hardly creditable to the other men. 1t was
simply that their ground wires were made
Quately connected with moist ground reach
ing to the sea. Excellent communication
was speedily established across the first
channel of forty miles. 1t will, however,
be some little time before the system goes
into practical operation Some of the sta
tfons have to be removed to points nearer
to the sea. There seems to be no doubt
that by February next we shall enjoy per-
feet telegraphic communica ton from Homo
lulu to Hilo, across three sea channels.

CHARGED WITH NON-SUPPORT.

A More Serious Charge May be Placed
Against Louis Silverstein.
Louis Silverstein, man who has re-
Gently posed in Oak street circles as a
millionaire and Russian count, was
arrested last evening by Captain
Cowles and Detective McGrath on the
charge of non-support, complaint hay
ing been made by his wife, who came
to this city from Baltimore. She says
that three years ago he married her In
Baltimore, and that then when she was
in a delicate condition and went to a
hospital he went to Chicago. When
she came to New Haven yesterday she
had with her an eighteen-months-ol
child.
The detectives have ascertained that
when Silverstein came here few weeks
ago he told in Oak street that he was
worth seven million dollars and held a
Russian title. He offered $50 to an Oak
street resident to procure a wife for
him, and several women were offered
for his inspection. Finally he selected
one and married her, and has been liv-
ing with her since. During his resi-
dence on Oak street he has been en-
gagged in giving monograph concerts.
The Baltimore wife told the detectives
last night that her husband has anoth-
err wife, named Lizzie Epstein, living
at No. 46 North street. The detectives
have ascertained that Silverstein has
been in other towns In this state, and
suspect that he has other wives. 1t Is
probable that the charge Of bigamy will
be placed against him.

lie Evans finds himself unable to re-

part Mr. Belasco has written for him in
Naughty Anthony. Accordingly his
eccentric legs and his happy counte-
nance will combine to extract all the
fun possible from erractic professor,
who undertakes the teaching of moral
culture to the fair sex. In Belasco's
wonderfully powerful play, Madame
Butterfly" which will precede his
Naughty Anthony" will show the
work that set all London talking. The
piece was presented there at the Duke
of Yorks theatre, and ran to the end
of July, when Belasco was Obliged to
bring the production back to America,
in order to fill the present seasons con-
tracts. Indeed, the entire London
press proclaimed Madame Butterfly"
