Desertions Decreasing.

II needs only a comparison with the
last years when deseTtion percentages
increased to show that the decrease Of

still in effect. As between 1888 and 1900.

centage had increased COS, and between
1900 and 1901, with an increase Of Il per
cent in the strength, the desertions in

There Is reason for belief from he re-
suits of these comparisons that the
great body OF new material that has been
added to the navy in the last two or
three years is being worked into con
tented, efficient personnel, and that the
measures which have been taken TO i'm

make it more attractive have been wise

This comparison Of the winters work

sufficient answer to the statements Of

AN HONORED
GENERAL
Sir Vim. Gascoigne Here
From Hongkong
Garrison.

Sir William Gascoigne, Major Cen
eral commanding the British troops
in Hongkong, was a through passenger
on the Siberia yesterday en- route to
London. He is returning after five
years of honorable service.
Amongst the rank and file Sir Will
liam made himself popular in the ex-
IRENE, and in the eyes of the majority
of the Hongkong garrison he is a
veritable idol. A disciplinarian in
every sense of the word, he always
evinced concern as to the welfare of
those under him, and while he con-
Quoted the affairs of the garrison with
firmness he was never harsh, and it
is the kindness that has always char
acterized his commands and actions
that endeared him to all. His depar-
ture caused many regrets. and the
memories of his stay on the island will
remain long in the minds of those
whose pleasure it was to serve under
him, and those who had the privilege
cles. Sir William has never been par
ticularly prominent in public con-
cerns-his office precluding that-but
the work he has done when administer
ing the affairs of the Colony in the
absence of the Governor, stamps him
as a man with a keen insight into
those things which make for the we'll
being of the community, and the con-
solidation and advancement of the En-
pire's interests. From civil circles,
too, Sir William took Lady Gascoigne,
who by her personal charm, won the
hearts of all those with whom she
came in contact. Lady Ga,scoigne was
a distinct loss to the female community
in general and to the ladies o. the gar
rison in particular. With them she
was a special favorite.
Lady Gascoigne was presented on
the eve of her departure with token
of friendship from the ladies of the
garrison, and the General was pre-
scented by the officers with an illumina-
ted address.
A guard of honor escorted them to
Blake Pier and gave them a royal
send off.
Major General Sir William Gas
coigne, late Governor of Hongkong, Wis
tied the Pail yesterday, accompanied
by Lady Gascoigne, and the eminent
New York surgeon, DR.. Weir, and Mrs.
and Miss Weir. They also visited
Governor Cleghorn's gardens at Wal
kiki and Hon. S. NJ. Damon's gardens
at Moanalua.
Sir William and Lady Gascoigne were
entertained at dinner, in the evening
by Col. Macfarlane, at the Hawaiian
hotel, previous to their embarking on
the S. S. Siberia. DR.. Weir and family
were also of the party.

ONLY A FEW.
Of tho muItitudes of

Of the multitudes OF people
around us very few are really
in good health. Most of them
are victims to a greater or less
extent of some disease. For a
time nature holds her own, Of
ten with youth and ambition to
help her; then the overtaxed or
gans break down, and the poi
sonous germs in the blood and
tissues get in their deadly work.
This may happen suddenly or
slowly, but the result is the
same. The number of people
who are thus afflicted and hand
icapped is far beyond computa-
ton or estimate. In perhaps a
majority of these cases the all
ment arises from bad digestion,
and is thereafter complicated
with some form of dyspepsia.
The ordinary treatment is sell
dom or never successful, and
medical men now prescribe
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
with a view of purifying the
blood and stimulating the vital
organs into normal action. This
effective and original remedy is
palatabl as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative pro-
perties of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
extracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. It should be re-
sorted to on the earliest signs
of ill-health, even if they do not
at first seem serious or impor-
tant. DR.. j. M. Guijosa says:
az prescribed your preparation
for a young lady having a seri-
Gus affection of the respiratory
organs and from the first bot
tie she commenced to improve.
After taking six bottles she was
completely cured; she took it
with pleasure which was not the
case with other remedies that
were tried but were found too
repugnant to take" Every dose
effective. One bottle convinces.
Impossible to be disappointed
in it. Sold by chemists here
and everywhere in the world.

HOLY TERRoRs DEFEATED.
Land Sharks Take the Measure Of the
Ambitious Opposing Team-Defeat
Due to Overconfidence.

OVerconfidence was probably the
cause of the defeat of the HOLY Terrors
in their game with the land sharks
yesterday afternoon. The Holy Ter
rors started out in the first inning to
bat the cover off the ball. and ran the
bases so often the players were winded
at the close of the inning. Lack of ex-
ercise and poor lung power helped to
defeat them. although they put up a
marvellous game except when there
was any fielding to do. At the begin
ming of the third inning the most of
the Terrors were putting like porpoises
and ready for the hospital. while the
land sharks, with lungs hardened by
talking to prospective land buyers and
consciences scared over with the mem
DRY of innumerable land deals. fell up-
on the ball and swatted it into smith.
Greens. z. H. Walker officiated as
umpire. and did as well as any of the
players. The score was II to 90 in ia
vor of the land sharks. The Terrors
will be out with another challenge in
a few days.
