DR. Albert L. Schuyler attended on
Wednesday evening last, the banquet
of the Danbury Medical. Society. A
former townsman, DR. w. @. Vile, act
ed as toastmaster. The Danbury
News in speaking of DR. Vile, said:
"At the head of the table sat DR. W.
G. Vile, and what banquet in Dan
bury would be complete without geni-
al, eloquent, suave, witty Dr Vile as
postmaster. No matter how great
the talent and entertaining ability of
an assemblage of any kind, without a
toastmastcr of ability, time lags and
the fun is forced. Needless to say
that there was no tagging in the hilar-
ity nor forced fun last night. From
reading eXecrable poetry the author
ship OF which he aScribes to some un-
offending guest, the happiest manner
of introducing the speakers and the
occasional Interpolation of a story of
his own to leading the company in
singing his favorite song, "There's a
Hole in the Bottom of the Sca,' Dr
Vile is without an equal and he kept
the fun going at furious rate last
night" That the banquet was some
thing out of the ordinary may be
Judged by what the News says: "And
be it said that this was not only the
finest and most elaborate banquet cHel
given by the society but it was also
probably the most elegant affair OF the
kind ever given in the city. The menl
was as we'll served as it was we'll pre-
pared. Service, cooking and choice
variety united in making the banquet
delightful one and Proprietor Nc
Glynn was sbowered with well deserved

MEDICAL co.
NJ. A. Todd, one of NeWtown'S es-

treasurer and manager of the Hartford
Medical Co., and at the present time
is devoting two days week to the
business. The particular business of
the new company is the manufacture
of Suppositories for hemOrrhOids anc:
assures. The shape of the suppOsitOry
is patented. 1t is superior to the
common form of conical suppository by
reason of it's peculiar shape, which
holds it in place. 1t is made from
pure cocoa butter. The formula is
changed according as the physicians
DESIRE The firm sells direct to the
physicians and to druggists. Mr. Todd
has been devoting his time to the in
surance business for some years, but
will probably give it up in the main,
if the new business develops, as now
seems probable.

The citizens of the Street and vicin-
ity have been enjoying good laugh at
the expense of a local dentist. 1t ap-
pears he is the owner of small "dOrg,"
and one night recently Mr. Dentist re-
paired to the cellar to fix the furnace
for the night. His dogship followed
him down and when Mr. Dentist turn
ed his back the dog ran into the ash
pit in the furnace. The genial ex-
tractor of teeth shut the door of the
ash pit, closed the draughts and went
upstairs. In the morning the dentist
came down to set the furnace a going
and opened the door of the ash pit,
when out bounded the dog. Thinking
"the divel himself'' was after him the
DENTIST started up the cellar stairs on
a run, only to find out it was the pet
dog he had shut up the night before.
The popular dentist has been busy ex-
planning the event to his friends, and
is supposed to have laid in several
boxes of cigars in order to pacify his
friends, who delight to remind him OF
that hair-lifting experience in the eel
lar.

THE HAMAKUA FIRE.

Present Status.

HONOKAA, September 11.-Nearly
all of the homesteads were threatened
with devastation yesterday through a
change in the direction of the wind. On
Sunday persons visited the scene of the
forest fire and it was then at least a
mile distant from Horner's homestead
house. On Tuesday the wind Changed
and the fire swept toward the sea with
great rapidity and the Horner house
was destroyed The building cost
about 81. 700 two years ago. The other
homesteads are threatened.
The men engaged to fight the fire in
the timber rave up work on the second
day on account of doubt as to payment
for services. They declined to wait for
the Legislature to appropriate the
funds. An effort is being made to have
the agents representing the different
plantations in peril to pay the men.
Young cane is being cut in several
places in order to save as much as pos
sible..
Horner's ranch has sent about 400
head of horses to Waimea besides a
number to Laupahoehoe and Hilo.
There has been no rain during the
past week and no indications of 1t.
Several families are moving to Waimea
to be nearer water Yesterday the sur
rounding country looked as though it
was burning up and a report was cur
rent that the fire was in Paauhau cane,
but the rumor was unfounded.-Hawaii

MAurS YEARNINGS.

Is it not about time that some sort of
of literary club should be established in
Wailuku? There are plenty of bright,
brainy people here and their number is
being augmented continually. Being
off the travelled line of theatrical
troupes, there are but few sources of
legitimate amusement for our evenings.
A Chatauqua, a reading or essay club,
or even a debating society once a
month would go far to relieve the
tedium, and would prove a success if a
few live people would take hold of it in

The suit of Hebron VS., Helm was de-

to Helm to enable the latter to go to
the Klondike and work the mines on a
"diVvy" Arrangement. Hebron was in
clined to think that Helm never went
farther north than Seattle, and he
wanted the money back. A jury was
waived in the second trial, but Judge
Lilies decision was the same as that
of the former jury, as he granted a

PUFFED UP
AFTER EATING.

Mr. Henry E. Schweitzer, a car.
maker by trade, thirty-one years old,
living at No. 1910 Olive street, West
Philadelphia, writes: Having read So
many testimonials sent to you I felt
it a duty to add mine to the list. I
have been suffering for a long time
with Indigestion and would feel all
pulled up after eating, and have pains
around the heart. Sometimes I would
have to leave the table before I was
through eating on account of a sicl1ly
feeling and water belching. My bowels
were not regular; sometimes too free
and a great many times 1 had to
strain myself and had to suffer with
pains after it. Having seen ad of
Ripans Tabules in the papers so much
and some of the complaints mention
ed seemed to fit mine, I thought
would try the remedy 1t Is about one
year since / commenced taking the
Tabules, but 1 did not continue. as
they made me feel giddy at first, 10
I did not take any for about a month
when l commenced taking them with
better results. Before taking them I
weighed one hundred and fifteen
pounds, now I weigh one hundred and
thirty-three pounds and feel a great
deal better. When any of my friends
tell me they feel sick, I tell them to
take Ripans Tabules, and they will
make them feel better, the same as
they did me. You may add me to the
list OF the thankfuls."

TO PATCH UP RATES
WESTERN FREIGHT MEN WILL

ACTION

St Paul Man Expresses Little FaitI,
in the Roads Keeping an Agree
ment-Tarihs Badly
DemOraIized.

The executive officers Of the railroads
interested in freight rates between Chi
cago and the West will make another at
tempt to put the rates on a higher basis.
A special meeting has been called at the
request Of several roads and will be held
this morning at 1880 in room 9J2 Of the
Great Northern building, in Chicago. All
roads interested in the Southwest Mis-
souri, River, Omaha and St Paul COM
mittees, and also the Colorado lines, have
been requested to be present and a full
representation is anticipated.
The following well known freight men
will attend: Paul Morton, w. D. Heddle,
of the Sante Fe; S. NJ. Feton, Alton; Z.
A. Delane, II. Elliott, Burlington &
Quincy; A c. Bird, Milwaukee, J. NJ.

This time st. Paul is the center Of the
trouble and the article most Seriously af-
fected is flour. The last effort to main
n.
Then 1t was discovered that the ferry
routes across Lake Michigan Were get
ting the bulk of the business and the all
rail routes from st. Paul to Chicago had
to do something to retain what they con-
sidered their share of the traffic. They
adopted the most effective means known
10 them. They cut the rate.
1t is not flour rates alone that are dis
turbed; all rates are demoralized and
they threaten to become more so. The all
rail lines seek to place the Responsibility
on the lake and rail lines and the lake
and rail lines say that the all-rail lines
are faith breakers and cannot be trusted
to carry out an agreement for even a
day
The executive officers will doubtless sue
coed today in draf,~Sg and signing an
other agreement to maintain rates. But
here the question arises will the traffic
officials succeed in keeping 1t.
a local traffic man, in discussing the
today's meeting, said:
Yes, we will get together and have
a regular harmony meeting; pass around
the pipe of peace and call each other good
fellows. Then Wen all stick our names
down to an agreement to keep up the
rates. after which Wen all take a drink
and catch the night train home The next
morning everyone will be cutting rates
again at the old stand and with the same
pleasant regularity. Why, a lot of the
roads have contracts that have been made
at the cut rates now in effect, which ex-
tend clear up to the close of navigation
so that until that time arrives, at least,
stable conditions cannot be secured
