Migrants on Maui

Now that the high sheriff of the Islands
has gone TO work in earnest TO rid Ho-
nolulu of Migrants, the sheriff of Maui
should at once follow the work, so far as
Maui is concerned. Special instructions
should be sent to each of his deputies
and to the police under them to round UP
every vagrant on Maui, and If the id1ers
are not willing to go to work at once,
they should be put to work by the gov
eminent. Nothing leads to crime so read
lily as idIeness, and the district magis-
trates should bear this in mind every
time clear case of vagrancy is brought
before them Such n course persistently
pursued will react very favorably both On

ship is paying her second visit to this
harbor. having been here during the
summer Of 1900. under the command
of Commodore Germinet.
Sunday is the only visiting day of
the ship. and although it was also let
ter writing day for the crew, there was
so much for the sightseers to take en-
joyment out or that there was not a
dull moment for the men and women
who made the trip out to the ship.
There were some visitors for the ward
room. and the French Consul, NJ. Viz
zavona. spent much of the afternoon
with the commodore and officers of the
ship.
When the Protet showed off the har-
Dor. hoisted the United States flag and
saluted 1t, the navy stations guns
doomed eleven times in welcome to the
vessel. and very soon after her coming
to anchor. there was launch along
side and the Consul paid his official
visit. The commander with his staff
came ashore soon after and called upon
Governor Dole. Captain Merry of the
naval station, and the Bishop of Pana-

the officers began to become acquaint-

there were several parties of the jun

successful in raising the shrubs. which

Surgeon General Wyman of the United

effected in Venezuela, the most notable
OF which was that of the treatment OF
a nephew of the priest. The priest term

Furgo," on account of its purging quail

was limited to two ounces of the fluid,
which produced commissions and agoniz-
f.! ing cramps. 1t was said that the more
violent these results, the better were the
! chances of the patient for a recovery.
The plants are growing profusely at
the Experiment Station, and can be seen
from the Rapid Transit car line. They

on him. After that the boy was better
months an improvement in his health
was noticeable. At last those who were
watching the experiment began to see
that the cure was coming. The nose was
reduced in size. and .he disease On the
fingers was checked. The nails began
growing, the cords of the fingers were
loosened, and the last reports sent me by
the happy father stated that the nails
bad grown out again, and that there was
now only a slight amount of mucus from
the nose. Otherwise, If one did not know
that the boy had been a 1eper. he would
not be suspected of having had any dis
ease which could play such havoc with
the human body. There is now only n
slight puffiness at the ends of the fin
gers and on the feet, a dropsical symp-
tom, and DR.. Camp sent a medicine to
regulate this. The father has written
me regularly about the condition of his
son. and my sister gives me her opinion
of the progress which the remedy is
making. She is overjoyed with what she
has seen.
There are other natives and some
white men there who have seen what
has been done for the boy, and they have
applied for the same remedy, and l have
forwarded it. There was wash woman
who got leprosy, it is supposed, by inocu-
lation. because the trouble commenced In
her fingers. The joints began sloughing
off. She asked for the remedy. 1t was
given her, and she has been steadily i'm
proving. She has been under treatment
for six months.
