Five Chinese girls were recently sold
in San Francisco at public auction. The
restriction act makes it difficult to inn
port Chinese girls into this country, so
these brought fancy prices. We white
ribboners would like to know whether
sthe constitution follows the flag in
every part of this republic between the

not cover? A case which the Christian
women of this land would like to see
before the United States supreme court
is one that would test the Interpretation
OF the constitution for California as well
as for the Sulu Sultan's dominions. We

We call attention to the important Of
fetal communication of our national SUI
perintendent OF n-alcoholic medica-
ton in the Union Signal. An appeal to
physicians the country over, asking
cooperation in banishing alcohol as a
medicine, is to be part OF a special work
OF our organization this first year OF the
new century. The general officers have
already prepared and sent out such APP
peal to all medical journals.

Patent Medicine Spieler Ben Bruins
sailed yesterday for San Francisco on
the American bark Mohican. He had
been going away for the last few
months to enjoy a much-needed vaca-
tion but it was not until yesterday
that he managed to really take his de-
parture. Ben overworked himself dur
ing his six months vacation in these
Islands and has gone to the Coast to
recuperate. Ben was sent off in prop
er style. He took with him the leis
and aloha of many, many friends in
Honolulu.
Ben is in good company. Captain
Kelly is commander of the bark Mo-
hican. Kelly is a wit and Ben is a
wit. They will fight it out between
them on the way up to the Coast
Ben will probably commence by en-
PERTAINING the fishes. Then he will en-
terrain the ships company. Perhaps
he will do the latter while he is treat
ing the fishes.
Captain Kelly is fortunate In having
such jolly company on his present voy-
age. AS long as Ben doesn't whistle
the bark will no doubt travel along at
a good rate. Kelly expects to make the
trip in twelve days. His friends give
him twenty days to do it.
Honolulu will miss Ben while he is
gone but he will return here before long
to spend his vacation

Officer.

captain Charles Young, 9Th United
States Cavalry, one of the two colored
officers in the regular United States
army who have graduated from West
Point, arrived yesterday on the trans
port Logan enroute to Manila whittier
his regiment has been ordered for active
service. Captain Young obtained his
present rank on the 3rd of this MONTH
and is therefore the only colored officer
In command Of company.
Efficiency and popularity go hand in
hand with this officer and every officer
and soldier who has come in contact
with him has naught but praise for him.
AS an officer his ability to command
is not questioned and he has obtained
his present rank in the service by strict
attention to duty.
He has been in the army for thirteen
years and a menber of the same caval-
ry regiment during that entire period.
His command has been garrisoned on
the frontier and in the west nearly all

"luck' as most of the soldiers term it,
have kept him in garrison when most

a capable officer.

He participated in the grand review

Judge Wilcox had another easy time

ted for consideration. OF these four

The charge of assault and battery
against Jack ing Kwai is not un-
fraught with interest. Defendant is
the sausage machine engineer at the
Honolulu Meat Market. A. Spillner
drives the engine.
A few days ago Spillner came to Ung
Kwai and told him he was using too
much steam in his department, add
ing that if he did not let up until the
boilers had been refilled there was
danger of an explosion.
Then ing Kwai got mad and told
Spillner to attend to his own affairs.
This disturbed Spillner's equanimity
and he made a rush at the Chinaman.
Onlookers interfered and held Spill
ner's hands to prevent him striking the
Pake.
ing Kwai was not slow to note the
possibilities of the situation, and, grab
bling an axe, struck Spillner blow
over the eye cutting the flesh clean to
the bone. The case will be heard to-
morrow.

Secret prayer is one Of the most es-
sential duties in the Christian life. 1t
seems almost false to call II duty, in
light of the incalculable blessings and
joys resulting from its exercise. Ii is a
privilege of highest value, for the closet
is the birthplace of that assurance
which is needed most of all-the pres
ence of liod. Such knowledge has
made Gods servants strong and brave
in all times. Moses, David. Elijah,
Christ, were sustained by it in all they
did, and these were all men who went
apart to commune with God. 1t has
always been so. God reveals His pres
ence to those who seek it alone. There
is just as great an urgency as ever for
the possession of this assurance

II is the same with the word rheuma-
tism. Its name implies that it was sup

affection, such as results from a cold.
And while the treatment for rheumatism
was based on that theory it was small

THE MODERN TREATMENT.
"Ouite a number of years ago, when
was girl at home, my father was pros
trated upon a bed of sickness" writes
Mrs. P. NJ. Wheeler of No. Ann Place,
Bradford, Penna. uHe had rheumatism
and complication of troubles which
bafled the skill of three of our best
physicians All through the winter
months he lay upon his bed, suffering
severely at times with rheumatism in his
limbs. While in this condition pam

After that he commenced to gain. His
physician was surprised at the change in
his condition and candidly admitted that

doing more for him than he had been
able to do. In less than two weeks my

was this little hour that was to Oe the
most important in my life, and haG
not prepared for it, You see, we had
not arranged for any renewal of oul
engagement. 1t was merely to be ouI
last meeting, and the months interval
was to clear our heads from the smoke
of our quarrel, so to speak, and our
hearts from jealousy. At the end OF
the month we wouldn't love each other
any more. That was the idea of it, and
SO it wouldn't make any difference
what we said. We could afford to
speak the exact truth"

That's nonsense" he replied impa-
tiently. "Why should annoy her by
raking up my past? What l was en-
deavoring to do was to fix up a story
that should give her just and sutfi-
cient idea of me. If man tells the
rigid truth about himself, he always
seems to be worse than he is. To give
her such an impression would be equiv
alent to falsehood. What l wished to
do was to show her that l had never
loved anybody else and never could.
That is the truth, and whatever l
might say in support of that contention
would be true. in effect. even if the de-
tailed statements were little different
from the way that things actually hap
pened.

purifes the blood but it increases it in

proof of this is found in the fact that

the body gaining in flesh and increasing

When the bird vaketh and the shadows fee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight,
Dawns the sweet consciousness am with Thee.

The solemn hush Of nature newly born;
Alone with Thee in breathless alteration
In the calm dew and freshness Of the morn.

The image q the morning star doth rest;
So in this stiffness Thou beholdest only
