PLANT IS WORKING A
CURE FOR LEPROSY IN TAHITI

Editor Advertiser:-Sot many months

Tuatua plant. which had been introduced
to these Islands from Washington as 4
cure for leprosy. and it raised the hopes
of many here that their dear. afflicted
ones might again be restored to them IA

Medicine prepared from the plant WAS
also sent out from Washington to the
Military Department OF Honolulu. TO try
upon the lepers, that no time might be
lost in testing It's virtue and proving its
efficacy and DR.. Camp. who seems to be
the only physician here who has taken
up this all important matter, has tried
II in some cases with very good results.
The Tuatua plants, which are thriving
vigorously at the Experimental Garden
of this city. have been pruned on by the
gardener In order to keep them within
bounds. but owing to there being no de-
mand for them. the precious branches
| have been cast away! And there Is even
talk of removing the plants entirely and
| utilizing the ground in other ways, as
the planters are discouraged that no APP

have been much exaggerated. and that

CLAIMS OF FoREIaNERs.
Occupied the Attention % the Fire
Commissioners Yesterday.

The claims of foreigners comprised
the bulk of the cases presented to the
fire commission yesterday. Generally
they were claims for building losses
and not for personal effects. Cons!d
cradle amusement was caused upon the
hearing of the claim of Mrs. Stalbuck.
a Danish woman. who could speak but
little English. A woman was pressed
into service as an interpreter. but it
was then found that she spoke Hanover
Dutch, which the claimant could not
understand, and English was resorted
to by her counsel, Mr.. Wilder. Con-
siderable difficulty arose when an eff
fort was made to get her to take the
oath. Finally Mr. Wilder said:
I'VE want you to swear to tell the
truth. You will do that won't your
"Of course l will tell the truth, | am
an honest woman" said the witness.
This so ratified the court and attor-
neys that the formality was entirely
dispensed with
