Death Of Mrs. Eliza seay.

We are panied to note the death
of Mrs. EIzs Ssay, which occurred
at her home yesterday, about three
miles above this place. Her death
was sudden and We may say, unex-
pectedlv, though she had re>ched q
ripe old age, perhaps the only one of
the old original citlzsns OF tha Prov
idence section lefe, and the last os
her immediate family. Though
somewhat retired she was a devout
Christian. and her deeds of kindness
and friendship displayed among rela-
tives and neighbors will long be re-
membered. Truly she was an old
mother in Israel, but her spirit has
f ,wn from whence it came and ber
becoming only calls those behind to
follow her. She leaves son, Mr..
P. H. Sesy, and daughter, Mrs.
Laura Monts, and their families
and other relatives and friends to
mourn her loss. Her remains were in
tered in Providence cemetery today

STUDYING PLAGUE
AND CHOLERA

DR.. II. Solomon, prominent German
physician, is a through passenger or
the Nippon Maru. He is on a tour
of the world for the study of sewer
age and infectious diseases and this
morning intends to visit the Quaran-
| tine station. The doctor is accompanied
by his wife.
1.-The report published that 1 am tc
study drinking water is a mistake, u
said DR.. Solomon at the Young Hotel
last evening. II have simply been
studying sewerage in Massachusetts
and San Francisco. 1 am not on a
government mission but am pursuing
my studies privately.
"Only in Lawrence near Boston,
Mass, has the bacteria system been
put in connection with sewer systems.
In Germany it is the common thing.
The bacteria beds were first tried in
Lawrence and then improved upon in
England. Germany got her system
from England, but the first was start
ed in Massachusetts.
Il intend from now on to stop the
study of sewers and take up an in
vestigation of contagious diseases,
their causes and the best preventive
and precautionary methods. I intend
to visit the Quarantine station here
this morning, before the steamer goes,
if have time. My principal studies
though will be in India where there are
ample opportunities for the investiga-
ton of plague and cholera
Some weeks ago it was announced
in one of the local papers that Dr.
Solomon was coming here to study the
drinking wafer of the islands. This
report, the doctor says is not true and
it came to be circulated through mis-

Mr.. Douthitt said Mr.. Henry was will

Judge Gear, after stating that the

That Jung Hing having come into

and it appearing to the court that Jung
Hing intends to depart for China on
August Z. taking her two children with

cessary that the said Jung Hing and
the said two children be in court on
Saturday, August s, that in order to
prevent their departure from the coun-
try they be given into the custody of
the High Sheriff to be taken by him
to Mr.. Henry, jailor of Oahu prison,
to be detained in such prison until Sat-
urday, August 8, to be brought to
court at 10 o'clock of said day.
Mr.. Humphreys said: Judge Estee
has made an order forbidding any in
reference with the liberty of the wo-
man, and 1 do not want to appear in
any way going contrary to that order"
1T is only OBTAINING them as wit

Judge Gear Makes an Order to

When Federal Judge Estee last Sat-

Jung Hing, from the disreputable thral-
dom wherein it had been shown she
was held by Jue Gun, the man claim
ing to be her husband, he warned Jue
Gun in his decision, on pain Of severe
punishment for contempt of court, to
from interfering with the woman in
| any manner whatever.
Nevertheless Jue Gun, under the
/ name Of Chu Kin, compelled the wo-
man Jung Hing to bring her two chill
dren before Judge Gear under a writ
of habeas corpus yesterday afternoon.
Judge Estee's strict injunction bothered
the Territorial Judge and the petition
er's counsel, from its comprehensive
nature, not a little. Whether court,
counsel and petitioner will, either or
all, avoid a collision with the Federal
authorities in the outcome remains to
be seen.
Although the writ commanding the
mother to produce the children might
seem to involve only interference with
the children, the question may arise
