SAN FRANCISCO. June 2S.-Gaston
J. Boisse, foreman of the Hawaiian Ga
zette Company's press room, has had
a narrow escape from death. Boisse
has been for five weeks at the French
hospital here. i'll with typhoid fever. He
is now convalescent, and expects to re-
turn on the Alameda which leaves here
| on July II. Boisse has lived in Homo
lulu for six years and came up here for
! his first visit home in that time on
April 81 He had lots of fun for a fort
night, and then was. stricken down.
Only his athletic training saved him
from passing away Boisse was deliri-
Gus for many days. and once while un-
der the impression that he was being
killed by the hospital attendants, he.
leaped out of bed and hurled himself
at the nurse. Alphonse Diderot. Al
phonse was badly bruised and ran for
his life. This gave the head nurse an
opportunity to ask: What is CASTOR
after" and the pursued a chance TO
answer: After me, your dear AL
phonse," Boisse is still weak but is
day He will spend a few days with
relatives at Corte MADEIRA before he
sails for Hawaii.
Charles Guest. who has been the rep
resentative of Milliken Brothers iron
work in Honolulu. has recovered from
an operation for appendicitis. Guest is
we'll known In Hawaii. He was taken
Ill here and went to the Waldeck Hos
pital. Now he will have the great
pleasure of taking his vermiform nui-
sance to South Africa in his pocket. 1t
has become quite the fad to have ones
extracted appendix mounted suitably
as a pocket-piece. In New York there
is a social club formed of those who
are minus this useless part Of ones
anatomy, and at the meetings of the
members they take delight in reciting
their experiences under the surgeons
knife
H. C. Freck, formerly of the Adver
Users art staff, and who has been
making a series of funny pictures for
the colored supplement OF the Sunday !
Chronicle, has gone East. Freck made
a big hit here, but considered the OPP
portunities in the East superior. He
has developed as a cartoonist very
much since leaving Honolulu, and un-
doubtedly has a brilliant future.
Ralph o. Yardley, who earned fame !
as the Advertisers cartoonist, has TAX !
IN desk in the Chronicles art ROOM |
at least for while. Yardley has been |
spending several weeks with his fami- |
ly in Stockton, and is now just getting !
down to work again. He Longs for the .
sunny skies of Hawaii, and it would I
not surprise me if he journeyed down I
there again within year
An editorial paragraph in the Chron-
icle explains the foolish error made in
the newspapers which stated that Judge
Estee's wife had died in New York, as
follows: 1T appears that the Brooklyn
Eagle was responsible for the publ
cation OF the erroneous story that
former wife of Judge Morris NJ. Estee
had died in a clearinghouse in that
city. Just how the blunder was made
is not clear, but it was doubtless due to
the fact that the Office of the Eagle Is
by some one who thinks he
knows something about California af-
fairs. Not long ago the Eagle publish
ed story regarding the pastor of EN-
manuel Church in this city which it
was compelled to retract. The two
yarns bear the same earmarks, and
probably had the same origin
