GUARDING AGAINST MALARIAL
FEVER.
s6 Malariai fever, like yellow fever,
is communicated by mosquito bites, and
therefore is just as much of an infec-
tious disease and requires the same
aneasures of protection against mos
-auitoes. On the assumption that mos
#ouitoes remain in the vicinity of their
breeding places, or never travel far, the
prevalence of malarial fever at post
would indicate want of proper care
and diligence on the part of the sur
geon and commanding officer in COM
plying with general orders No. 6, De-
partment of Cuba, 1900.
~. Surgeons are again reminded OF
the absolute necessity, in all fever
cases, to keep from the very beginning
a complete chart Of pulse and tempera-
ture. since such chart is their best
guide to correct diagnosis and the
proper treatment. Very respectfully,

SWINDLING IN
CRAP GAMES
Imitation Ten Dollar Pieces
Are Used by the
Players

Crap-shooters have many methods by
which they deceive and swindle victims
who are unlucky enough to get into the
game where the two dice make and IN
make fortunes in nickels and dimes, but
it remained for Captain Fox of the
of the more unprincipled players to sep
arate fools from their money.
On Sunday afternoon while ambling
along Waikiki road near the Hotel An
mex he espied a group of natives intentl!r
engaged in throwing the dice. He zap
preached the crowd carefully and was
only discovered by one of the players
when about 100 yards distant. He gal
l. Hoped toward the group, which imme-
diately dispersed. In their haste to find
cover they left the two dice, sixty cents
| in nickels and dimes and few other
evidences that the game was a warm
one. AS the officer was about to mount
his horse again he espied what appeared
to be q So gold piece. To all appearances
1.-THE gold-looking coin" was of the reg
ular United States mintage. except that
| it was slightly dull. On close examina-
ton he found 1t to be a medal pocket
piece, on one side OF which was the
spread eagle. around which in small let
tiers appeared the legerad, Honesty Is the
Best Policy" The reverse bore these
words: Dedicated to the cause of Vir.
tue. Honesty and Temperance" Wner
laid down with the spread eagle face VI
1t appeared to be a genuine gold piece
and the Captain deceived even the Depu
ty Sheriff and others in asking them tc
change the piece. It is presumed thai
the gold piece, formed portion OF ths
stock and trade of the cheat crap-shoot
err and may have been decoy by which
the owner derived a comfortable income

Bad for Maui Creditors.

1t is very easy to get into debt, and
the longer debt runs the more re-
luctantly it is paid. There is entirely
too much looseness in the matter of
meeting financial obligations on Maui.
True, everybody who is willing to work
has some money, and times are not
hard in the sense that they sometimes
are in the States, and that is the prin-
cipal explanation of the laxness In
meeting financial obligations. But 1t is
bad practice, and occasionally the
creditor class suffer from it.-Maui

STATE TREASURER DEAD.

Hon. Thomas E. Little, state
treasurer of Arkansas, died at
his residence in the city of Little
Rock last week, His death was
very sudden, taking sick at II
p. m. and expiring at 8 a. m.
Thos. E. Little was born in Sc
bastian county August %, I84a,
and was brought up on the farm.
In 1891 he accepted the position
of deputy state treasurer, which
position he held for eight years.
In 1898 he was elected to the Of
flee which he held at the time Of
his death, being reelected in
1900.
Mr.. Little was considered one
of the states best men, and his
record as a public official is flaw

The Filipino Geo. Washington
no sooner felt the hand of the
American soldier on his shoulder
than he issued a proclamation to
mis- people to give up the fight.
The original Geo. Washington
would probably have waited a
day or two before he would have
recommended the surrender Of
the Continental army if he had
been captured. The report Of
the proclamation of Aguinaldo
sounds something like "All is
lost. l have been pinched. "
Truly a man like this deserves
no greater punishment than that
which can be inflicted with a
shingle as suggested by secretary
