HER MOTHERS GIRL

A bright, handsome girl on the
b0rderlani 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 lesh-forming and
strengthening qualities Of the oil
without it's loathsome taste. Taken
before meals 1t creates an appetite,
stops the emaciating process, puts
flesh on the thin and bony body, and
ruddy cheeks soon tell the story Of
pure blood, good digestion and re-
covered health. 1t is a scientific
modern combination of the best Of
curatives made palatable as honey.
Taken in time it prevents consump-
ton: taken in time 1t cures. "Dr.
j. L. Carrick says: / have had re-
l., Il IL. h1
ment of Consumption, Chronic Bron-
chitis, Catarrh and Scrofulous Aztec
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.
Genuine only is effective from the
first dose. "You cannot be disap-
pointed in it." Sold by all chemists.

COMPROMISING ON FINES.
JUDGE WILCOX SITS ON THE
SCHEME.
Promises to Leave the Country are
Also objected to as Means of Escap-
ing Sentences.

Promises to leave the country and to
pay previous fines that may be hang
ing over prisoners heads on appeal
won't do service any more in the police
court. Judge Wilcox sat on the scheme
this morning, announcing that he didn'
want to be a party to any more com
promises of the kind. 1t was in the
case orc. Donahue, who was up again
for selling liquor without a license.
Donahue has a fine of 800 against him
now, on which he has taken an appeal.
When he was caught again he told the
police that he would pay the other fine
If he could escape being sentenced
again, also that he was about to leave
the country. This has been done in
other cases, sentence having been sus-
pended, but this morning the Judge
had a kick, when Deputy Sheriff Chill
| lingwOrth stated the case and offered to
move for suspension of sentence.
| There are people all about who have
! promised to leave the country " said
his honor land don't see them going.
How do l know this man will go and If
he goes what is to stop him coming
| back in three weeks and opening up
again? He has been convicted in this
court and fined, and now he comes in
and wants to be let off this time if he
will pay the other fine. / haven't any
use for that kind of compromise with
criminals, and 1 don't want to be a
party to any more bargain Of that
kind"
The judge gave Donahue, who had
pleaded guilty, a little roasting on the
side, saying it would be a fine thing if
he would go and stay away, and then
took the case under adVisement for one
day, stating that he would consult with
the attorney-gene before giving
a decision or agreeing to any more
compromises.

RECORD SUGAR YIELD.

A late number of the Louisiana Sugar
Planter contains letter that was writ
ten by DR., Walter NJ, Maxwell, director
of the experiment station here, detailing
the results obtained with some varieties
of cane received from the Louisiana
experiment station.
There were three varieties of cane re-
ceived by DR.. Maxwell, so he writes,
from the Louisiana station. Each of
these varieties were made to produce
at the Louisiana station about five tons
of sugar per acre. At the experiment
station here in Honolulu, according TO
DR.. Maxwells statement these varieties
have been made to produce, one OF
them 17.2 tons per acre, and another
1876 tons per acre.
Both of these yields are record break
ers. They are considerably above what
DR.. Maxwell has ever been able to pro-
duce before with other varieties used
for experiment.

IN HONOR OF KwANG HsU.
Bow Wongs Remember the Birthday of
Their Emperor.

There was an enthusiastic gathering
of members of the Bow Wong Society
this afternoon, the occasion being the
celebration of the thirty-first anniver-
sary of the Chinese Emperors birth.
Much surprise was manifested by the
failure of the Consul General to re-
peat his former elaborate observance
Of the Emperors birthday. Last year
the consulate wa sthe scene of a rep
resentative gathering, all of the promi-
nent people of the Island being present.
This year, however the Consul content
ed himself by merely displaying the
Chinese flag. In explanation of this
conduct Mr.. Yang Wal Pin said that
had it not been for the war and the
Boxer trouble the present anniversary
would have been handsomely celebrat-
ed. Minister WI directed the Consul
not to observe the day this year. In
addition, the usual proclamation of the
Emperor directing that the day be OBJ
served, was not issued. The birthday
fell last Sunday, but the Bow Wongs
preferred to celebrate today on account
of the death Of one of their Chinese
Emperors on the % instant
