PRINCE DAVID KAWANANAKOA
OUT OF RACE FOR SENATOR
viii Formally Withdraw From the
Contest at Once for Purely
Personal Reasons.

Prince David last evening expressed
surprise that his intentions had become
known, but when questioned admitted
that it was his plan to formally with
draw from the race. He said that he
had no idea of the effect of his action,
as he had not discussed its significance
with anyone. He said he had simply
come to the conclusion that he would
not make the race for the place. The
Prince has not made an active canvass,
and it has been rumored recently that
he had been solicited. but had refused,
to make a tour OF Oahu with Wilcox.
Friends of both the Princes express
ed last evening the utmost satisfaction
over the developments, as they said the

BECKLEY
STIRRED
THEM UP

Admiral George C. Beckley dropped
III from Hawaii on his flagship, in the
pink of condition. His nutmeg diamond
was as lustrous as ever and beside the
picture of Prince Kuhio on his coat
lapel was an enamelled flag with the
the '.Harbor" to which he belongs.
Say for me- he said breezily, that
1 stirred up things in Hilo on Thursday
night. We had a great meeting in the
Japanese theatre. You know the place

in Hawaiian. You know l was asked
by the Republicans here to join them.

High Chiefs of Hawaii and Cupid is

came to me from the West to call on
me at the East, in the ancient fashion;
and it was honorable in me to welcome
him. My duty was to assist him and
this L did in a way that will make
Hawaii give him a majority. You
should have heard me speak at the
meeting here the sparkle in the

bright as that of the gem on his finger.

rapid transit to Pacific Hill The great
point I made was that, while the big

wharf without grounding, she could
All she could need would be the break
water. That pleased everybody and
made HiIo solid. There was great
cheering for me. L asked the ladies to
work and told them that it would be
best for the country to elect Cupid. My
going in for Cupid showed them there
was something in it, for all the Hawai-
ians know that 1 can see ahead and
know what's coming. They trust me
and now that L have spoken they will
carry Hawaii for the Republicans.
The Hilo Herald, recognizing the val
ue of the Admirafs services, will print
a fine cut of him, in full uniform.
Friends of Admiral Beckley are urg-
ing him to let them push him for the
governorship, at the close of the term
of the present governor, should Gov
ernor Dole decide to not be again a
candidate. The gossip is that Admiral
Beckley. seeing that Prince Kuhio will
win, and that there is a certainty of a
Republican legislature, has practically
consented to permit the use of his
name and his friends will stand for him
in the event of circumstances making
it wise to push his candidacy. Admiral
Beckley has been making a hard fight
for the Prince now that he has come
out in the contest, and many things
have shown the effectiveness of his la
bors. He arranged the reception for
Prince Kuhio at Hilo and the badge,
a strip of yellow silk ribbon with the
single word ''Kuhio" on it, was designed
and secured by him, it striking popu-
lar chord and hundreds being worn by
the people of the first district.

deavor to make such issues
Prince Kuhio Kalanianaole spoke for
a short time last evening in the rain
to a small gathering of voters at
Wyllie and Nuuanu streets, and despite
the weather there was quite an enthusi-
astic party about when the meeting
was called to order. What was lacking
in numbers was made up in enthusi-
asm, for while the rain drove the peo-
pie cheered the Prince, and he showed
his appreciation by making an address
which was like heart to heart talk
with his friends, and lost nothing of
impressiveness for that
Robert N. Boyd called the meeting
to order, and after a presentation of
the issues, introduced Judge J. L. Kau
lukou as the first speaker. Kaulukou
spoke Of the needs of legislature
which was in sympathy with the OBJ
jects of the Republican party, and
dwelt upon the necessity for a Repub
lican delegate. He showed that the
people had received no benefits from
the last legislature, and said that the
time had come for change.
Prince Kuhio was then introduced.
He was greeted with applause from the
voters, and talked with earnestness.
He told of his former connection with
the Home Rule party, and said that
he could not longer affiliate with 1T
when he found that the party really
consisted of Wilcox and Kalauokalani.
There was nothing left for the people,
he said, for the leaders were always
insisting upon leading the party with
out regard to the wishes of the mass
of the voters.
He said that the people were being

HOW THE CHINESE GET RAIN
Peculiar Practices In Vogue In the
Celestial Kingdom.


Celestial Kingdom
1t is one of the peculiarities of the
Chinese that, while they have develop
ed elaborate philosophers, none of them
has led to any confidence In the uni
formity Of nature. Neither the people
nor their rulers have any fixed opinion
as to the causes of rainfall. The plan
In some provinces when the need OF
rain is felt is to borrow a god from
neighboring district and petition him
for the desired rain. II his answer Is
satisfactory, he is returned to his home
with every mark of honor; otherwise
he may be put out in the sun as hint
TO wake up and do his duty. A bunch
of willow is usually thrust into his
hand, as willow is sensitive to mois-
ture.
Another plan In extensive use is the
building of special temples In which
are wells containing several iron tab
lets. When there is a scarcity of rain,
messenger starts out with tablet
marked with the date of the journey
and the name of the district making
he pays a sum OF money and Is allow
ed to draw new tablet from the well,
throwing in his own by way Of ex-
change. On the return journey he Is
supposed to eat only bran and travel
at top speed day and night. Some
times he passes through districts as
greatly In need of rain as his own.
Then the people In these places way
lay him and, temporarily borrowing his
tablet, get the rain intended for anoth-
er place.
Prayers are usually made in the fifth
and sixth months when the rainfall Is
always due, and limit of ten days
is set for their effective operation. Tn
der such conditions rain usually falls
during the prescribed time. When the
prayers are In progress, the umbrella,
among other objects, comes under the
ban. In some provinces foreigners
have been mobbed for carrying this
harmless article at that time.

When single dose of arsenic In suf-

perhaps nausea result. In the course
of an hour after a poisonous dose has
been taken an intense burning pain Is
felt in the esophagus and stomach.
This spreads TO the entire anterior por-
ton Of the lower part of the trunk. A
sense of construction at the throat and
an acrid, metallic taste accompany the
pain. Then vomiting and relaxation OF
the bowels begin. AS the case pro
crosses the symptoms increase In In

embarrassed and painful because Of
abdominal tenderness. The surface of
the body becomes dark and of that
blush color that medical men call ey-
anosed. Violent cramps add their tor
ture, exhaustion becomes collapse, con,
yulsions or coma ensues, and death
ends the agony. This torture lasts
sometimes from five to twenty hours.
In some cases these symptoms occur,
but in a modified form, and the doctor
will apparently get the better of the
disease. The remission will be but for
day or two. Then the abdomen will
swell, and icy coldness will pervade
the frame. Shivering will become pro-
nounced trembling, then cramps. con-

The lanterns hang low and almost

Agent, Is Used.
When the vessel has tied up to the
wharf In New Orleans, the first step is
the removal of the bedding, clothing
and cushions and other cloth fabrics to
the quarantine shed. Here they are
hung on a framework consisting of
series Of racks suspended from Il long
car running OH track and so arranged
that when the racks are filled the
whole thing may be run inside one of
the three great disinfecting cylinders
with which the station Is equipped.
These cylinders are enormous steel
boilers fifty feet In length by eight feet
In diameter and fitted inside with con
tinuous coils of steam pipe. The cyiiD-
ders are covered with asbestus and
swathed In felt, and when the cylinder
caps are on they are alright. When
the clothing has been placed inside and
the cylinders closed, dry heat Is forced
through the pipes at a temperature Of
1S0 degrees, and this Is followed by
moist heat raised to n temperature OF
go degrees. The pressure Of from six
TO eight pounds put upon THIS steam
heat Is sufficient TO force 1t through
heavy mattresses or bundles Of cloth
ing.
After period which varies from
thirty minutes to ali hour the cylinders
IRE opened, the racks are run out, and
the rapid evaporation which follows
causes the clothing to dry almost i'm
medately. The clothing Is unframed
by this process, and the moist heat is a
thorough germlcldal agent. 1t Is an IN

1t Is said that stammerers rarely IL
ever show any impediment of speech
when speaking in whispers. On this
fact n method of treatment has been
advocated, which is as follows: For the
first ten days speaking is prohibited.
This will allow rest to the voice and
constitutes the preliminary stage Of
treatment. During the next ten days
speaking is permissible In the whisper
ing voice, and In the course of the next
fifteen days the ordinary conversation
al tone may be gradually employed.
