SLY AND DANGEROUS.

1t was not very long ago that lir.
George Monk thought his days wee
numbered. 1t was certainly very de-
pressing conclusion to arrive at. Wh2n
II man is so cornered that he can ncita-
err fight nor fly his courage oozes ont
of him like water from a squeezed
sponge.
Even the bravest swordsman is afraid
of cold steel when his hands are tied
behind aim; and the sailor who has
laughed at hurricanes shivers with hor-
ror when he feels his wrecked snlp
sinking under him on n smooth sea.
The facts, as given by Mr. Monk in
a letter dated January Goth. 1900 and
written at his home, Willowbank, Ma
kara, New Zealand, are these:
About eiEheen years ago he was trou-
bled with occasional attacks of in
digestion. which are more common
| among young persons than parents are
apt to imagine, and lay up store OF mis-
chief for the future. For of all the sky
and subtle things which are enemies
to man this ailment Is the most dan
gcrous.
Like the Red Indian 1t is both deadly
and patient. 1t waits and it kills.
In Mr. Monks ease the disease cul-
minated in n condition which, he says,
was a martyrdom. He was almost con-
tinually belching, the foul gas being so
rapidly produced in his stomach by the
fermentation of the undigested and rot
ting food therein.
When he rose from n sitting posture,
or stopped for any reason, his head
swan with giddiness. Dyspeptics fall
in the street from this cause, and the
police and the doctors often think i,

MAINLY ABOUT
MATTERS AQUATIC

The Myrtle Boat Club subscription
committee, consisting of A. G.. NJ. Rob-
crtson, W. w Harris and A. a. Wilder,
have now in hand in cash and pledges
about $500 About as much again is
needed to make the necessary change of
headquarters, and the improvements con-
templated.
The building OF the new house will be
commenced as soon as possible. Under
the terms of the lease the Myrtle clul,
should have vacated the present site by
the first of the month. The trustees of
the Bishop estate however. have decided
TO allow the club II months grace.
Yachtsmen are kicking on account of
the quantity of filth and rubbish float
ing about the harbor moorngs ut pres
emit Other moorngs are bang looked
for and the bottom near the cattle pen
may he dredged for this purpose. The
cost of dredging will be about thirty-iive
cents square yard.
At the next meeting of the Hawaiian
Yacht Club several new names will be
proposed for membership, and another
dig cruise planned.

STILL
LOOK FOR SITE

Things just now are somewhat dull
from a yachtsman's standpoint. As far
as the Hawaiian Yacht Club Is, concern
ed but little apparently Is doing. Tho
matter OF II site for the clubhouse Is,
however, receiving considerable atten-
ton. and those who have the thing in
hand are trying IL arrange for per-
man,nt site at Puuloa, west of the salt
house.
Another big cruise Is being talked of.
To occur Al the full OF the next moon.
fachtsmen are still discussing the club
house question. and the consensus OF
opinion Is In favor of an artistic but in
expensive structure costing from 81 600
to S2,Uo. The matter will hang fire, how
ever. until a site has been definitely de-
c!ded upon, then things will commence
to hum. Taking everything into consid-
eraticn. matters In connection with the
yacht club are shaping themselves as
rapidly as could be expected under the
circumstances
The cost of erecting a club house Is
likely to be met In part by the proceeds
of a minstrel show or masquerade ball.
Nothing yet has been done In the mat
ter.
The pennants won by the yachts In the
recent Ford IsiaDd regatta will be pre-
sented at the next meeting Of the Ha-

1t will puzzle the classihers to place
her. for she Is smaller than the second

as sccond-classer. 1t would not be
surprising should the Wiki-Wiki turn
out to be the fastest thing with sails
down here. Indications certainly point
that way. The boat Is a wonder, and
one Of those things which only come
once In while. Her builder Is to be
congratulated on his success Captain

COURT NOTES.
(From Wednesdays daily)

1t was judgment day in the Circuit
Court. and five prisoners were sentenc-
ed for the crimes of which they had
been adjudged guilty. 1t was a great
day also for hard luck stories, and
hardly a prisoner who was sentenced
but what was i'll or too old to stand
the severity of term in prison.
Kamalu, the native convicted Mon
day of the crime of rape. was the first
man before Judge Gear. He received
sentence of ten years in Oahu prison
at hard labor with an additional fine of
$25 and costs. The court scored the
defendant in passing sentence.
Albert Peyser, who ended up a spree
by committing series of small forg-
cries, got off with a light sentence,
with the understanding that he would
leave the territory upon its expiration.
He entered a plea OF guilty to two of
the offenses charged and in the third a
nolle proseGui was entered by Deputy
Attorney General Cathcart. Attorney

BUSINESS MEN WILL RAISE
MONEY TO IMPROVE WHARVES

meeting held In the Board cl Health
office Monday night.
The shipping men evinced n disaOsi-
ton to uphold the hands OF the Board
If Health, and TO express their Will
ingness TO cooperate with that body
as well as with the Department of
Public Works and the United states
quarantine service here. The offer OF
the surgeon Of the quarantine service
to give the services Of his employees

necessary, was commented on faN~It-
bly,.
As to raising the $500 or $500 neces-
sary every month FOR the purchase OF
fumisating materials, no plan has yet
been decided upon, but IL is believed
that the various shipping houses will
be asked to contribute to the fund on
the basis Of the amount OF shipping
they have done in the past six months.
This would I'm reality be a tax on ship
ping. and thus far seems to be the
most equable method by which the
money can be collected.
At the Board Of Health office are
several designs Of rat traps, some of
which are unique in construction. Since
il became known that the Board of
Health was about to ir,tugurate a rat
killing crusade, the rat traps, all Of
them guaranteed to be the best on the
market, have been coming in steadily.
They may be given a trial. The Ma
Mia Times IF october IA says:
After giving the trap method OF
catching the plaEucy rodents of Ma
Mia a fair trial it has proved to be Il
failure 1t has been found that ar
enormous number OF traps would be
required for the work in order that
they might be constantly changed, for
the discovery was made that after
some dozen rats had been caught in "a
trap, that trap was given wide berth,
however heavily and strongly baited.
Under these circumstances the Board
of Health has decided to abandon the
traps, as n system, and are now issu-
ing strong poison for the destruction
of the rats, and to that end war of
determination will be maintained until
Manila Is free of the vermin."

said at the meeting all agreed that 1t

they are believed to be the principal
mediums through which plague can be
introduced here. 1t was the belief
that heroic measures should be adopt
