Obituary.

The departed John j. Mann,
youngest son of John and Louise
Mann, was born near Baldwin, st.
Louis county, Mo-, on the Sth OF
January, 1884. After living at
Ironton for a few years his parents
removed to st. Louis, where they
still reside. Last winter, after
having the measels, John con-
tracted a severe cold and had been
suffering more or less ever since.
When his brother Arthur died, on
March 30th, he was unable to at
tend the funeral. But later on he
was somewhat better and hoped
that perhaps he might recover. He
longed to spend the summer in the
country with his friends, but on
the 2Sth of June he contracted a
new cold, which became worse
from day to day until the Lord re-
lieved him and took him unto Him
self on July 10, 1908, at 1906 A M.
He had sought and found the Lord
after the death of his brother and
was glad to go. He died at the
age of nineteen years, six months
and two days. He leaves his be-
reaved parents and a number of
relatives and friends. May the
Lord comfort the parents.

/ propose to say but little Of the
brutal and cowardly assault made
upon F. P. AXE last Saturday by
Arthur Spaugh, armed with a
revolver and a pair of brass
knucks. AXE was unarmed and
unsuspecting. Spaugh fled to the
woods and has not yet been APP
pretended. The victim of his
assault was not dangerously in
jured. The law will sometime take
hold of the offender and l am con-
tent to let it deal with him. 1t is
not a case for newspaper comment
OF discussion-not by me. Except
this, that the assault was wholly
unprovoked and inexperienced
from the brute and coward who
had inbibed just enough whiskey
to give him the courage he lacks,
for he is noted as a worthless bully
who dare not meet a man face to
face on equal terms.

MOLOKAI FOR A
LEPROSARIA
THE SENATE COMMISSION SAYS
IT IS AN IDEAL PLACE-WHAT
IT CONSIDERS IDEAL.

Regarding leprosy. the Senate
commission consisting of Senators
Mitchell, Foster and Burton, refers
to a report of the commission ap=
pointed by Congress to Investigate le-
prosy in 1899, recommending the es-
tablishment on one or two leprosarias,
and the following extract from the re-
port shows the sort of settlement the
commissioners had in mind:
"Such leprosaria to be of the great
est benefit, must be situated in a salu-
brious climate and be provided with
every means for the treatment and
care of their inmates and with the
comforts of life and sources of occupa-
ton and amusement. They must be
made as attractive as it is possible 10
make them, so as not to be looked upon
as a species of pOorhouse or prison by
the victims Of the disease. The best
means to accomplish this end would be
the selection of sites covering broad
areas in healthful localities where the
inmates can have unlimited and UNI
restained outdoor exercise and Occu-
patton, roaming over well-kept grounds
enjoying pleasant vistas or engaged in
tilling fertile fields as a distraction to
their minds and in order to make their
retreat a comfortable home rather than
a miserable place of confinement.
Comfortable houses should be pro-
vided. LuXures are not required, but
the institutions should be provided with
all the necessities and comforts requi-
site to making these retreats so attrac-
tive that, the fact becoming widely
known, the unfortunate victims of this
dread disease will, rather than hide
their affliction, make known their con-
dition and request admission to these
public Institutions of their own free
will
The patients must not be made to
feel that they are under any restraint,
and this again emphasizes the fact that
large areas must be set apart for the
uses of these proposed institutions, in
most pleasant localities as regards eli
mate and temperature. Ideal locations
for such leprosaria, in the opinion of

farthing of public money and converts
it to his own use is in the eyes of good
conscience a dishonOred and guilty
man ana ought TO be punished, but uC.
fortunately our statutes are not broad
enough to cover all Conversions The
defendant was discharged This law
has been amended since that decision
was given, but the amendment did not
change the law of embezzlement as to
mere conversion Of money. l advised
Mr.. Wright that he was not guilty Of
embezzlement under the law and hav-
ing no doubt on that point, it was
scarcely reasonable that L should au-
wise him to skip, much less help him.
The shortage is great mystery to
many people. l do not believe that Mr..
Wright had the money. Who ever
heard of a thief stealing an amount
ending with u cents from large fund?
The eX-treasurer lived quietly, he did
not ganble, he had made no invest
ments and left no property and he had
made no loans. What did he do with
$4,000 during the short time that he
had custody of the Chinese fund? L
do not think he had any money with
him. For all the work did in the case
he never paid a cent Why should a
man VINO has embezZled part of fund
go away and leave the rest How could
he take ST., 1891? L don't believe there
We're any pennies in the fund. The
whole case presents many mysterious
features, but to my mind it is not a
reasonable theory that Mr.. Wright had
the money that was short.
AS to his leaving l do not feel at
liberty to talk freely, but L can say
that on the morning when he was las
in my office l did not know he was go
ing, and l did not know he was on the
Alameda when she left the wharf.
Il understand the statement has
been made that l had promised to have
Mr.. Wright appear with the money ut
the time appointed for his making good
on the morning of September "a.
never made any promise either to get
the money or to have Mr. Wright keep
his appointment. AS shown by Mr..
Coopers statement the appointment
with Wright was made at an interview
with him on the afternoon of Septem-
Der %. l was not present at that meet
ing at all, being present only at the
meeting at noon, when Mr.. Smith, Mr.
Wright and myself called on the Sec
rotary"
Another feature of the Wright case
which it is said would probably have
cleared him on trial was that the
money short was not money of the Ter
ritory. 1t was the Chinese fund, and
many attorneys have expressed the
opinion that a conviction under the IN
dictment against Wright would have
been impossible on this account alone
If Wright had stayed at home and fac
ed the music, it is stated, he would in
all probability have gone free.
Many who were well acquainted with
Wright agree with his attorneys view
as to the cash and express the opinion
that Wright himself never had the SIS
600. The mystery may never be clear
ed up, but that there Is a mystery in
connection with Wright's l. o. u, dat
ed a month before he left and placed
in the Chinese fund, for such an odd
sum as $17,749.9l, is doubted by few of
those who knew the eX-treasurer.

IN
GREAT DANGER
ALL PUMPS HAD TO BE WORKED
TO KEEP HER AFLOAT UNTIL
SHE MADE MANILA.

According to reports brought today
by army officers on the Doric the
transport Sherman had a very narrow
escape from going to the bottom on
December 26, The Sherman was going
to Manila from San Francisco. She
had a large crowd of passengers "a
board, there being many officers and
their families as well as hundreds of
private soldiers.
While going through the San Ber-
nardino straits the vessel struck a rock
at 10 o'clock att night, INSTANTLY
there was great confusion. The crew
of the vessel acted with the utmost
courage and bravery and in a short
time the fears of every body were
quieted.
The keel of the vessel was badly
damaged and some of her plates had
been badly broken and dented. Water
poured into the vessels hold: Every
pump was put to work. The vessel did
not stay on the rock but was gotten off
and put under way for Manila. All
pumps were kept going from the time
of the accident until Manila was reach
ed. Had there been a breakdown in
any of the pumps, it is not improbable
| that the transport would have sunk.
Temporary repairs We're made on the
vessel and she was sent to Shanghai to
go onto the dry dock The transport
Burnside was still at Shanghai under
going repairs.
The cause of the Sherman striking
| the rock had not exactly been deter
mined at the time that the army peo-
pie on the Doric left Manila. The pilot
| of the Sherman seemed to think that
! the current had swept him some miles
out of his course onto an unchartered
rock. Other people seemed to be OF
the opinion that the boat had beer
swept even closer inshore than the
pilot thought. A survey board haG
been sent to make soundings and de.
! termine this matter.

MANY ARMY
PEOPLE ON DORIC
ACCIDENT TO SHERMAN NECEs-
STATED SENDING OFFICERS
HOME ON PASSENGER BOATS.

The recent accident to the transport
Sherman in the San Bernardino Straits
in the Philippines, put money into the
pockets of the o. and O. S. S. Company.
The army transport people had planned
to send a number, of army officers and
families back on the Sherman to the
United States. The damage to the YES
sci prevented this being done and the
result was many of the crowd had to
be sent from Manila to Hongkong and
there take passage on the DoriC for
San Francisco. This explains the fact
that about three-fourths of the large
crowd of passengers on the Doric is
made up of army people. a number of
those aboard are physicians who went
out in the volunteer service. Most of
the returning medical officers will be
mustered out on their arrival at San
Francisco.
The Doric encountered very bad
weather on her trip from the Orient.
She left Hongkong January II; Shang-
hal, January Il, Nagasaki; January 70;
Kobe, January 20, and Yokohama, jan
uary IS. The boat encountered head
winds and seas on her trip from Yo
kohama. Nothing carried away and
nothing was sighted.
The vessel brought 900 tons of gem
eral freight for this port. large part
of her shipment consists of $500 bags
of rice. Considerable rice has been i'm
ported into this port for some months
past but. the shipment on the Doric is
probably the largest that has ever been
brought to Honolulu recently.
Miss Brady, who had to leave the
Gaelic this week on account of Ill
health, returns on the Doric to the
mainland.
The Doric sails at p. m. today for
San Francisco.

MOROCCO SULTAN
DREAMS OF CONQUEST
MONARCH OF THE MOORs RE-
PORTED TO HAVE HOPES OF RE-
GAINING. THE GRANADA.

PARIS, January 29.-The unsettled
state of Morocco is due not "a little to
the Sultan's Introduction of European
inventions and manners.
Telegraph, Photographs and automo-
biles have done it; but remarkable
reason for the Sultan's attempt to edu-
cate his country is given by people who
are Tin the know"
They affirm that this is nothing less
than the attempt of Abdul Eel Aziz to
one day lead the Moors to the recon-
quest of Spain. 1t is said that the de-
feat of Spain by the United States re-
vived the hopes, which the Moors have
always cherished of their return to
Granada, and hence the Sultans Eu-
ropeanizing efforts to fit them for the
task.
1t is a fact that the great Moorish
families still treasure the title deeds
of the lands and houses in Spain from
which their ancestors were expelled
four hundred years ago. So confident
are they of their ultimate return in
triumph that in many Moorish cities
they sacredly preserve and show the
keys of their ancestral homes in the
peninsula, now occupied by "usurping''
Spaniards OF course the Moors will
never possess Spain again any more
than the Spaniards will be ever allow
| ed to possess Morocco.
The French cast loving glances at
| Morocco which added to Tunis and AL
! geria, would make a glorious African
| empire for France, but then, there is
! Mr.. John Bull to reckon with. A
| fortress erected in Tangiers would prac-
! tically make Gibralter useless for the
| protection of the narrow straits.
| If the MoOrs cannot very soon settle
! their affairs satisfactorily their coun-
| try promises to be a big bone for con-
| tentiOn.

1T is DIFFERENT NOW.

Once upon time students of
medicine held the notion that
there were as many different
diseases as the body has organs
and parts; every one of these
ailments requiring different
treatment. SO stupid a mistake
could lead only to miserable fail
ures. For the fact is, the body
is a single machine; and what
concerns one part of it concerns,
more or less closely, all the
rest. Thus we see how it hap
pens that one remedy, or mode
of treatment, may relieve and
cure a variety of complaints,-or
what may appear like variety,
but are really various forms or
'outcomings of the same cause.
Take, for example, Anemia, Scro-
fula, Poverty of Blood, General
Debility, Influenza, Throat and
Lung Diseases, etc.-a formidable
array indeed they look to be: yet

quickly abates the worst of such
cases, and absolutely cures many
which have been abandoned as
hopeless. The reasons are: its
power over the digestive and as
similating process, its action in
expelling impurities from the
blood, and its consequent abili-
ty to vitalize and rebuild the
whole structure. 1t is palatable

on the solid principles of applied
medical science. 1t is precisely
what it is said to be, and has
won the confidence of the public
on that basis. DR.. Thos. Hunt
Stucky says: "The continued
