Before the treatment might be said to
be i'm a great measure negative, now
it is distinctly positive. and a hand to
hand battle with the disease itself can
be waged The results in the Weir
Robertson case will be watched with
the deepest interest not only by the
physicians, but by the public at large.
If the treatment prove successful it
will give additional conf ience, which
will aid very much in preventing any
one worrying themselves into plague
through fear, and will also give heart
to those stricken.
The case of Mr.. Robertson will be
important to know how he could have
contracted the disease. Warehouses;
grocery does not handle Oriental goods.
The place where Mr.. Robertson lived
was healthy, had good surroundings
and was distant from the center of in
lection. 1t is suggested that the -in-
lection may have come through rats.
Thousands of these rodents were des-
troyed in Chinatown, but undoubtedly
some escaped, and these would seek a
home not far from the scene of their
former habitation. A grocery store
would be an attractive place for a hun
CRY rat, and it is quite on the cards
might become a rendezvous. Some of
the rats might be sick and thus the
bacili of plague be spread. A thor
ough investigation of Mr.. Robertson's
movements and the chances be ran of
catching the disease in other ways, will
undoubtedly be made.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

The experiment with wireless tele-
graphy here shows how go ahead our
people are. In the east and in Europe
there is still much discussion over it.
Professor Elihu Thompson in a recent
lecture in Lynn, Massachusetts as
serted that while wireless telegraphy
is a very beautiful system and may be
of great practical use, there are many
objections to it's wide adoption and
many difficulties in the way of it's per-
fiction"
The fact it that at it's present stage
of development the scientific men of the
first rank do not regard wireless tele-
graphy as more than possibility, the
way to which is pointed by an ex-
rensive toy. On the other hand the
men who are handling the Marconi sys-
tenn are thoroughly imbued with the
idea that their scheme is absolutely
practicable and that it is worth sinking
money to reap the reward of the VEN
ture.
AS far as practical results are con-
.
there has nothing great been done by
the new system. 1t has been used eXpe-
rimentally across the English channel
at the International boatrace, nd to
some extent in the American and the
British navy. The really practical test
from a commercial stand point will be
here, though there is a proposal to have
stations at Frankfort to communicate
with Menominee, Michigan, this is a
distance of SO miles.
Every one here is deeply interested
in the new venture and wishes it the
very greatest of success, but it is well
for those who build on the hope of the
innovation to realize that it is not par-
feet and that it may bring disappoint
ment in spite of the enthusiasm of
those interested in the innovation.

There are two parties in China, OPP
posed to the present regime. One set,
as represented Leung Shi-Tso, now in
this city is the party of reform. The
other as represented by DR.. Sun Vat
Sin, once resident on these Islands, is
the party of revolution. The former
does not desire to overthrow the dy-
nasty, but aims at reform in the gov
eminent. The latter is for China for
the Chinese, and wants to sweep the
Manchu dynasty from the throne, and
all the Manchu nobility along with it..
The Dowager Empress with pleasing
impartiality cuts off the heads of any
members of either party that happen
to fall into her hands.

ONLY ONE IDEA.


The Hilo patriots are certainly show
ing themselves in strange colors. When
Mr.. Loebenstein was here as dele
gate from the Hilo Board of Health
Cself appointed) he tried to impress on
the Honolulu officials that the rest of
the Island was at one with Hilo. Let
tiers arriving by yesterdays mail, how
ever shew that the districts outside of
Hilo are far from being in accord with
the would be capital. They assail Hilo
and it's inhabitants with opprobrious
epithets which have to be edited out,
and they assign motives to the Hilo
people which are extremely selfish and
far from patriotic.
If it &c true that Hilo spectators are
anxious to shut out Honolulu, with
view of getting a corner in food stuffs
and being able to grind down the rest
of the Island, the position of those men
is one of the meanest that can be occu-
pied by any body of men. That the
people on the other districts firmly be-
lieve this to be the case is certain, and
they base their opinion upon facts
which they present with some cogency
So eager have the people of Hilo been
in their schemes, that they have not
had time to express sympathy for the
homeless and destitute thousands in
Honolulu. Both Kauai and Maui have
readily responded with gifts of clothes
and money, which have been very well
come to the various societies that have
received them for distribution, and
they have done a great deal Of good
But the second town in the Territory
has not word to say, in sympathy q
a dollar to give in charity apparently
1t, or rather one would hope only a
section of it, devOtes itself to a policy
of selfshness, and wrapped in that one
idea, it forgets the kindness of spirit
which used to animate the Hawaiian
heart at all times.

CONSUMPTION.

DIR. McNutt, a physician of great
eminence in San Francisco, has pub
lished recently an article under the cap
ton, should consumptives be quaran-
tined" in which he brings forward
some very strong arguments in favor
of quaranting against consumption ana
advances some startling figures.
1t was pointed out yesterday that the
deaths from consumption in this city
were alarming. For January they we're
20, showing a great increase upon any
previous month of the last year, and
this gives nothing like the deaths from
consumption for the entire group, see
ing there are no published statistics
for the outer districts.
In his paper DR.. McNutt stated that
the annual number of deaths from con-
sumption in Russia was 279,O2O; in
France 1865; in Germany 1865. He
points out that from May LIST, 1898 to
June 30, 1899, the total loss of regulars
and volunteers from deaths in battle
and from various diseases was 6,619,
and that many papers were hysterical
over this loss of life. But in the same
fourteen months the deaths from con-
sumption in the United States amount
ed to 100000, and no one seemed 70 be
struck by it. OF these 150 900 about 70
per cent were between the ages or 10
and 95, and therefore from the most
useful part of the nation from a work
ing point of view.
And yet in spite of these facts people
allow consumption to pass unchecked,
permit it to be present in the schools,
in the churches, in the street cars,
never realizing that every consumptive
person is a center of infection and Is
adding to the sum of the disease smit-
ten army that keeps marching steadily
TO premature grave. The only known
preventive is segregation. We ses:a-
gate in other contagious disorders. but
because consumption is not repulslve,
like smallpox or leprosy we 10 not
seem to realize the danger of it.

HER MOTHERS GIRL.

A bright, handsome girl on the
borderland between childhood and
womanhoOd, is at once a source of
pride and anxiety to her mother.
But she has grown fast and is still
growing. Nature makes stern de-
mands upon the slender body. The
skin is dull, the eyes lustreless, the
cheeks and neck are sunken, the appe-
tite is capricious, and the movements
languid. The trouble is impurity of
the blood. 1t needs the life-giving
elements from which alone the body
derives its vigor and health.
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION,
of the nutritive and curative proper
ties Of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by us from fresh cod livers, combined
with the Compound Syrup Of Hypo-
phosphites, Extracts Of Malt and Wild
Cherry, has saved many such girls.
1t contains all the flesh forming and
strengthening qualities OF the oil
without its loathsome taste. Taken
before meals 1t creates an appetite,
stops the emaciating process, puts
flesh on the thin and bony body, and
rudy cheeks soon tell the story of
pure blood, good digestion and ire
covered health. 1t is a scientific
modern combination Of the best Of
curatives made palatable as honey.
Taken in time 1t prevents consump-
ton: taken in time it cures. "Dr.
j. L. Carrick says: have had re-
ment of Consumption, Chronic Bron-
chitis, Catarrh and Scrofulous Affec-
tions, and consider it a marvellous
success In medicine" 1t is food and
medicine combined. To give it trial
is to believe in it always thereafter.

first dose. You cannot be disap-
pointed In it." Sold by all chemists.

ANOTHER CASE.

The appearance of another case of
plague in most unexpected quarter
is depressing, certainly, but it is in line
with what has been foreshadowed. It
certainly looked as if the end of our
long lane had been reached, yet spora-
die cases were to be expected, and one
has come suddenly, like a bolt from
the blue This emphasizes the neces-
sity for redoubled caution and vigil
lance.
In the present case conditions are
somewhat different to what they have
been. The physician now have at hand
something to fight the plague with,

additional labor be obtained if this

A large number of the Japanese and

Not long ago a young man in Port
land, Me-, bought an old army mus
ket to celebrate. A little later he was
giving the weapon an overhauling,
when he noticed some scratches on the
stock that looked like writing. After
giving the stock a good cleaning, 1t
was found that. the scratches formed
the name Samuel II. Cannon" AS
Sam" Cannon is one of the Port
land G.. A. R. veterans whom every
body knows, the young man was nat
urally very much surprised at finding
his name on the old gun. When the
musket was shown Mr.. Cannon he at
once recognized it as the one he had
returned to the government when he
was mustered out of service thirty
tive years or more ago.

The bicycle. according, TO- a recent
decision of the full bench Of the Mas
sachusetts supreme court, is not a
carriage" within the meaning of,that
term as used in the statutes. Cities
and towns are consequentlyanot bound
by law to keep their roads in such a
state of repair and smoothness that a
bicycle-rider can go over them in
safety. This decision was called forth
by an action brought against certain
Massachusetts, town, because of per-
sonal injuries incurred by the plain
tiff while riding her bicycle on one of
the roads. The court held that BIZ
cycle is more properly machine than
carriage" as legally defined, and
that bicycle-riders, injured from acct
dents arising from defects in the high
ways of cities and towns, have not a
valid claim for damages. The deci-
sion; will NOT prevent, them from con-
tinping the agitation for good and safe

Chinese Prefer to Do Without eau
casian Civilization.
Oakland, Cal, Aug. 19.-Ho Vow,
Chinese consul general at San Fran
cisco, in an address before the Ebell
society, questioned the advisability,
even from a Caucasian standpoint, OF
converting the entire Chinese popula-
ton to Christianity.
There are 5OO,OO0,000 of my country
men," said Ho Vow. "They are in
creasing in vast numbers. They are
quick to learn, and taking these facts
into consideration, what would happen
if the white race succeeded in forcing
it's civilization and its knowledge upon
them? They would be able to manu-
facture guns and all the engines OF
warfare with equal facility. Under
these circumstances Christianity might
triumph, and again it might not"
The three chief causes Of the present
trouble in China, Ho Vow declared to
be missionary work, acquisition of ter
ritory by foreign nations. and the des-
ecration of ancestral homes and the
landscape of China. In closing, Ho
Vow said he could see no legitimate
rea son Why one nation should wish to
force it's religion upon another.

In speaking of the possibility of an
alliance between Peru, Bolivia and the
Argentine Republic, with a view to war
with Chile, an American, who has
lived in Chile for number of years,
says: Peru and Bolivia know very
we'll that they cannot whip Chile, and
the outcome of a war, in the event of
the alliance I have named, would be
the same. The Chileans can and will
fight. We can put 375,000 men in the
field, for 10 per cent Of the population
can be counted upon in the event of
war;. We havel ample modern arms,
and:I have no fear as to the outcome.

ton, a war may result, though I am of
the opinion that it can be avoided"

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 10. - George
Featherston, member of the Duluth
Baseball club, disappeared two days
ago under circumstances that lead to
the belief that he fled to escape con-
sequences of the fact that he is mar
ried to two living and undivorced
wives. He was married to his second
wife, girl from good family, only
last spring. Last month inquiries re-
garding him were received from Sacra-
mento. Cal, and when they were an
swered another letter came saying
that Featherston deserted his first
wife there three years ago, and that
she had just found out that he had
been married again. A few days ago
he received letter from her showing
that she knew of his second marriage,
and he left for parts unknown. Before
he left he is said to have admitted that
he was married to the Sacramento
woman, but he claimed that he mar
ried her while he was intoxicated and
that he had never lived with her. He
also charged her with infidelity to him.
He has lived here three years, ever
since he left his first wife, and he has
not secured a divorce here. He has

months ago he sought another change

From time to time reports of the SEN
ator's serious illness were circulated,
but invariably denied by the senator,
who did not consider his case hopeless
by any means, and only two months
ago he planned to return to Atchison.
After consultation of physicians he
decided, however, to remain in New
Mexico. Mrs. ingalls, remained at her
