PUNCHBOWL MEN
HEAR REPORTS
Committee Tells OF Brief Sent
to Senators and
Plans.

Punehbowl residents to the number
of nearly $50 met Monday evening at
Lusitana Hall, for the purpose or hear
ing report upon the matter of lands
now occupied by them, from the com
mittee which submitted the matter to
the Senatorial Committee, which re-
Gently closed it's sessions here Despite
the rains there was an enthusiastic
gathering ana the committee was con-
tfnued in its work.
Chairman Durao of the committee
put before the meeting report which
reviewed the appearance of the com
mittee with it's attorney before the
Commission, and the arguments sub
mitted at that time. He laid stress up
on the fact that the question had made
such an impression upon the members
of the body that later, when Governor
Dole was examined, the matter was
then referred to in such a way as
showed the sentiment of the members,
that some provision might be made that
the lands could pass in fee to the resi-
dents and not be continued under lease
to the householders as at present.
Frank Andrade, of the committee, ex-
planned the brief which was prepared
ny MS urn LOT SUBMISSION to the Sena-
tors, and said that it would be printed
in Portuguese and distributed to the
persons interested in the future. He
also predicted that there would be
favorable action on the request of the
Portuguese that some action by Con- |
sress be had which would give to actual |
settlers preference in the matter of pur-
chase of the house sites upon which |
their homes now are.
Consul Canavarro also said a few
words, in which he encouraged the Por- !
tuguese to keep on working for a set |
tlement of the matters in way which |
would give them the rights to the lands !
which they occupy.
The meeting adjourned late and the |
committees were continued to keep up |
their labors

THE TUATUA EXPERIMENT.

The statement that tuatua will be
given up because an active poison has
been found in its seeds is one of those
poor excuses which can hardly be call
ed better than none. There are plenty
of poisons used in various treatments
of the body, strychnine, chloroform,
laudanum among them, so why not tua-
/ tua? Besides, it was known all along
that it was the poison of the anti-lep-
rous shrub lighting the poison of the
| leprous germ which brought about the
| Tahitian cures. Tuatua was not rec
commended for trial by the United
| States government because it is a
| bread pill or some other innoouous
compound; but because it is a powerful
toxic drug which, used in the right
proportions, sometimes carries the lep-
er through pain and tribulation to good
| health.
1t may be that the poor results noted
at Molokai are not all due to the short
time so far consumed in the trial
mere is mat IN the aHa1r tnat the
seeds have been left out of the tincture,
which is to say that the medicine has
been prepared without its active prin-
.ciple If that is SO the. experiments are
worthless.
It is the unwillingness of the Board
Of Health to search for cure for lep-
rosy with unremitting energy and zeal
which has given the advocates of Fed
eral control of the Settlement SO much
leeway. The Advertiser insists that
the chief aim of the board should be to
find the antidote which exists some
where in the laboratory of nature for
this particular bane. Segregation is
good IN its way. but 1t is only half way.
The one great desideratum is cure.

see a detective and much to her sur
prise he was no different in appear
ance from men who follow other call
ings.
Excuse me, sir" she said, as she
approached the desk, but would you
please show me a detective"
whats the trouble?" Clerk German
inquired. Have you been robbed?"
"Been robbed?" querled the visitor.
"Indeed, haven't. want to see a de-
tective, that's all. I've heard Of em
and read about 'em, and now would
just like to see one"
Here comes one now" she was told.

"Well, I do declarew exclaimed the
woman. "At last I've seen a-and so
you are a detective?"
All the blood in the officers veins
seemed to rush to his cheeks, and what
to say he did not know.

last" she said, but you look the same
as any other man. Your eyes do seem
as though they were only about half
open. Is that the way all detectives
look?'

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Habit is a mighty force, and must
either tend toward that which is good
or that which is evil. 1t rests with us
whether il shall be one of our best
friends or one Of our worst enemies.
Patience and strength are what we
need; an earnest use of what we have
now; and all the time an earnest dis.
content until we come to what we
ought to be.
There are lawless moments which
come to us all if we have no guide but
desire, and the pathway where desire
leads us seems suddenly closed.
The frank confession of a fault en-
phasizes to ourselves the necessity Of
overcoming it, and exerts a strong
force in that direction.
When a man defies existing laws he
creates others for himself more rigid
and severe than those from which he
breaks away.
The person who spends his time in
hunting down lies will have no leisure
for the pursuit of truth.
Tell the truth and let others say
what they will. You are responsible
for but one tongue.
Men may be born with fortunes
ready made, but character they have
to achieve.
A cruel story runs on wheels, and
every hand oils the wheels as they
run.
