TUA-TUA REMEDY
DEADLY POISON
AFTER EXPERIMENTS WITH THE
EXTRACT DIR. SHOREY COMES
TO FOREGOING CONCLUSION.

Examinations of the tua tua by Dr.
Shorey, food commissioner have re-
suited in the discovery of leadly poi
son in the seed of the plant, aad this
is thought to be the ingrc lient that
produces the painful effects attributed
to the extract by those who claim it is
cure. Three cats on which expert
ments were made by DR.. Shorey have
joined the silent majority, turning up
their toes in short order after being
given only a few drops of the oil Of
the tua tua seed
The tua tua extract, without the SEED
produces no effect at all, and / is
thought by DR.. Shorey that in the cases
in which the supposed medicine proved
an active drug seeds were mixed with
the rest of the plant, and the extract
contained some of the poison, not
enough to produce a serious effect, but
sufficient to cause disturbance of the
system.
DR.. Shorey has a small quantity OF
the oil in his laboratory and some of
the extract as well. Il have taken at
one time enough of the tua tua extract"
said DR.. Shorey, Ito constitute two or
three ordinary doses, and no effect has
been shown. The oil is a poison some
what similar to croton oil and as it was
fatal to the cats, | don't propose to
take any myself l believe that in all
the cases in which the so-called tua tua
remedy produced any effect at all, seed
was mixed with the rest of the plant
in making the extract and some of this
oil, which is not a strong enough poison
to be fatal in very small quantities, and
may possibly have its medicinal uses as
croton OIL was in the extract. This ac-
counts for the contradictory reports
about the cure Some of those who
take 1t remain quite unaffected, and
increase the doses beyond all proportion
without finding that it effects their sys-
TENS at all Others find it a strong
purgative, and suffer severe pains from
taking it,"
DR.. ShOrey's experiments have con-
firmed the opinions of the members OF
the Board of Health who thought that
Tua Tua was useless as a remedy, and
there appears to be little chance that
anything will come of using it at Mo-
lokai as reports continue to be dis
couragng, and patients are giving up
the treatment

TRACK LAYING
At MIDNIGHT
BALLAsTING OF THE WAIKIKI
EXTENSION OF THE RAPID
TRANSIT COMPLETED TONIGHT.

Work was in progress all last night
on the Rapid Transit Companys line
of track through the McCully tract and
the banana plantation between King
street and the Waikiki road at Kalia
road. Incandescent lights were rugged
up on the trolley wire, and plenty of
light was thus afforded.
Rush work is being done on the line
this extension and it is expected 1t viii
be ready for car service by Thursday.
The ballasting is expected to be COM
pleted today and tonight There will
then be some work Strengthening up of
the trolley wire, and then the line will
be ready for service.
The track for this distance is a per-
fectly straight piece of track and it
crosses no streets 1t may be expected
that fast time can be made on it. The
ballasting is now being done and it is
claimed that such good work is being
done in the ballasting as to make it
perfectly safe to run at a very high rate
of speed.
In ballasting, very ingenious device
has been resorted to. The track runs
through old rice fields and banana
patches 1t would be an impossibility
to haul the ballasting to where it is
needed in wagons or carts. In this
eXigency the platform on top like a
fiat car. Two matches are left in this
platform. The car is then loaded with
ballast and sent as trailer to a trolley
car to any point where ballasting is
going ON. The ballasting is then
thrown down through the matches in
the ballast car right between the rails
and ties. In this way the entire track
is being ballasted
When this line is completed and the
car service on it has begun, the King
street cars will run from Kalihi out
I King to McCully street. then over this
straight piece of track to Waikiki road.
The other main line system of the road
will run its cars from Wyllie street
down Liliha to King, thence along
| King. Hotel, Alapai, Kinau, Pensacola,
Wilder avenue Alexander, Beretania
and McCully street stopping al King
street. Passengers by this line desir-
ing to go on toward Waikiki will be
transferred at this point to the King
street cars.
The ballast material for the line is
brought by wagons and carts from
MOiliili quarry, at the rate of a hundred
or more cubic yards a day.

PORTO RICO COFFEE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The Pres
ident has proclaimed an agreement en-
tered into with the government Of
France on August % last, extending an
important trade advantage to the ISL
and of Puerto Rico by the admission of
the coffee produced in that island to
the French markets at the minimum
tariff rate.
This was accomplished by a special
agreement made between Acting Sec
rotary Adee, for the United States, and
M. de Margerie, Charge for the Gov
eminent of France here. This agree
ment in turn amends the commercial
arrangement of date May rs, 1898,
which was the first drawn under the
terms of the reciprocity section of the
Dingley act.
That arrangement applied only to
France and to the United States pro-
per, and the amendment just entered
into extends it on the one side to AL
geria, and on the other to the Island
of Puerto Rico, as to the general feat
ures of the tariff schedules affected,
while as to Puerto Rican coffee it is
provided that it shall enjoy the mini
mum French tariff rate until February
%, 1903, by which date it is expected a
further extension can be arranged.

MEMORIAL ApOPTED.

| The Free kindergarten and Chill
drens Aid Association of Hawaii
adopted at its October meeting the fol-
lowing memorial of the late Miss Mary
Green, one of its most earnest sup
pOrters:
In the Providence of our Heavenly
Father, our beloved sister and faithful
coworker Miss Mary Elizabeth Green,
has been called home from the scenes
of her labors among us. The Free Kin
! dergarten and Children's Aid Associa-
ton recalls with loving remembrance
! her earnest devotion to everything
that pertained to its highest interest.
| She was ever ready to contribute lib
orally OF her time and means and self
to the physical intellectual and spirit
ual betterment of others. Her love for
the Hawaiian race, her self-sacrificing
labors in their behalf, her steadfast de-
sire to tighten the burdens of others,
her sympathy and spirit of coopera-
ton, have ever been a source of en-
couragement and inspiration, to all
who have been privileged to work by
her side.
Her pathway was illumined by a
bright and loving disposition, which
not only made cheerful her own life,
but left lasting impress upon all with
whom she came in contact,
The world is not only better but hap
pier because of the life and influence of
Mary Green.
We shall miss our friend and sister
from the various places where we have
been accustomed to meet her, but we
shall cherish her memory with the
deepest respect and affection. Let us
be glad in our sorrow that we have
had the privilege of knowing and of
being associated with such noble and
Christ-like worker. To her sister and
other relations we tender our heart
felt sympathy in this, their great loss,
believing that their consolation will be
in the assurance that to her "to die
was gain"

CONFIDENCE

said Lord Chatham, dis q plant
of slow growth" People believe
in things that they see, and in
broad sense they are right. What
Is sometimes called blind faith is
not faith ut all. There must be-
reason and fact to form a foun-
dation for trust. In regard to
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, elias it cured 9TH
ers? Have cases like mine been
relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it record above suspic-
ion? If so, it is worthy of conf
dence; and if ! am ever attacked
by any of the maladies for which
it is commended | shall resort
to it in full belief in its pow
er to help me-" On these lines
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
has won its high reputation a.
mong medical men, and the
people of all civilized countries.
They trust it for the same reason
that they trust in the familiar
laws of nature or in the action
of common things. This effective
remedy is palatable as honey and
contains the nutritive and cura-
tive properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by MS from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. 1t quickly e.
radicates the poisonous, disease
breeding acids and other toxic
matters from the system; regu-
lates and promotes the normal
action of the organs, gives vigor-
Gus appetite and digestion, and is
infallible in Prostration-fOllow-
ing Fevers, etc.-Scrofula, Infu-
enza, Asthma, Wasting Diseases,
Throat and Lung Troubles, etc.
DIR. W. A. Young, of Canada, says:
Your tasteless preparation of
cod liver oil has given me uni
formly satisfactory results, my
patients having been of all ages.'
1t is product of the skill and
science Of to-day and is success
full after the old style modes of
treatment have been appealed to
in vain. Sold by all chemists.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN A COPPER.

Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman has
been credited with being able to sleep
as easily in a standing positions as he
can lying down. Said the Duke of De-
vonshire to him on one occasion: you
are like a policeman, Bannerman, you
can always sleep standing up" An
equally curious habit is that of Lord
Rothschild, who confesses that he can
sleep better in theatre during the
performance than he can at any other
time or place.

When It Is Hottest.


Therecords OF the weather at Boise
show that in former years the warm
est time of the year has averaged
from the 7th to the 18th of August.
The mean or normal temperture for
this period made up from number
of years of records, is rs degrees
The records further show that July is
3 hotter month than August, fol-
July has an average temperature of
49, degrees, and August 1872 de-
greees.
1t appears that in the usual August
quite a change in the temperature
takes place after the 18th, for the
mean temperature drops two degree,
from the 10Th to the 10th and gradu
ally declines until on the 31th Of
August it is 81 degrees.
The highest mean or average tenn
perature at Boise is 78 degrees on the
9th OF last August, showing conclu
sively that the greatest number OF
