BAlLlFFS WILL
BE PAU SOON

Governor Dole yesterday signed the
bill repeating the bailiff act and 1t will
take effect on July fst. The repeal
wipes out the present baiIiffs. which in
clude Bafliffs Hopkins and Ellis in Ho-
noluIu and one bailiff in each of the
other circuits.
The old bailiff law, Familiarity known
as the Humphreys act, gave the bailiffs
the same powers as sheriffs and many
abuses resulted from this authority.
Since the advent of Judge De Bolt and
Judge Robinson the jury drawing abuse
has been stopped and the bailiffs
brought to their proper position of sim
ply preserving order in the court room.
There is some talk now of getting an
appropriation through for "bailiffs to
be appointed by each circuit judge"
which would not however give them the
same powers as under the Humphreys
act If no provision is made for bailiffs
the old practice of detailing police
officer for the duty viii have to be fol-
lowed.

WHAT is PAIN BALM?

Chamberlain's Pain Balm Is a lini-
ment, and while adapted TO al the or
binary uses of liniment, las qualities
which distinguish it from other rene
dies of this class. Pain Balm is espe-
cially beneficial for rheumatism. Thou
sands Of cases can be cited in which
this remedy has effected a cure when
the sufferer had previously tried the
best medical service without securing
relief. Pain Balm is positively guaran-
teed to give relief in the most severe
cases of chronic or acute rheumatism
Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and
scalds in less time than any other treat
meut. It is "antiseptic.' that is, it
prevents putrefaction, and by so doing
generally prevents an unsightly scar
remaining after the injury is healed.
For lame back, lumbago and neuralgia,
Pain Balm has no equal. 1t has the
quality of getting to the right spot"
No sufferer from these distressing af-
fections should defer a trial of this
remedy. One application gives relief.

BETTER LATE THAN

never. The Wise Man says there
comes time in mems lives when
they are "afraid of that which is
high; when fears are in the way;
when desire fails and the grass
hopper is q burden" In these
days we call it nervous prostra-
ton; but it is the same old
thing aud is brought about in
the Identical way SO popular with
Solomon himself. The nerves
collapse and the mans force and
fire die out of him. 1t is natures
punishment for the sin of ex-
cess-and all sorts of overdo-
ing it." With the majority this
state of things is not constitu-
tional and may be corrected.
Even in old men, when it has
taken the form of general de-
bility, revival of the powers
is virtually certain so long as
there is no breakdown of any
important organ. The grasshop-
per soon ceases to be a burden
and ghosts resolve into gas,
with those who rely on that
popular purifier and restorative

interesting Lecture De-
Iivered Before Scottish
Thistle Club.
Reptiles Have Bitten Him About
a Thousand Times With No
III Results.

Snakes 1 Have Met" would properly
designate the lecture given last evening
at the Scottish Thistle Club by ]. w.
Thompson. the widely known reptile
and fish modeler. at present connected
with the Bishop Museum. Mr.. Thomp-
son indicated in his lecture that he
war on friendly terms with almost
every species of snake known to exist.
So thoroughly has he mastered the
habits, anatomy and life of the various
species that he has been able to model
and color plaster Of paris snakes which
look so natural that they send shudders
down ones back.
The lecture last night showed that
even concerning these despised verte-
brates there is deal of interesting
data. Mr.. Thompson had number of
snake skins on exhibition, some of the
king, RATHER. glass. and cobra. and one
native to Florida. the most poisonous
in North America, sure death to any
other poisonous reptile. but having the
most beautifully marked skin of ALI
In the course of his remarks Mr.
Thompson told OF many experiences he
had had with snakes, especially those
whose bite is poisonous. calmly telling
of his relations with the cold blooded
reptiles as If they were pet dogs or
cats. AT one time in his long career as
a snake specialist he had to collect the
venom from the rattle snakes for the
United States government He illus
trated with crayons the interesting
methods by which it is extracted. He
said that the general impression with |
most people was that a snake poisoned |
one with it's tongue. The venom. to |
the contrary, passed through the fang |
or tooth, which was hollow. These |
were often shed and replaced by new /
ones. and when a rattler rids himself /
Of his poison upon a victim it takes /
about three weeks to renew the supply. |
He had found that snakes are not i
fond of milk. He had experimental /
upon several species. but always with
the same result. Many species were
cannibals. One OF the principal snakes

and eating other snakes was the king
snake. a skin OF one OF his former pets
being exhibited
The lecturer gave an interesting de-
scription OF the feeding of boa con-
strictor and its method OF swallowing
food. He generally killed the chickens
or ducks to be fed TO the reptiles. as
this did away with the latter plucking
the feathers. and enabled them to get
the food down at cnce. The instant
he would hold out a plucked chicken
the snake would throw a coil around
OF this. il brought an outer row of teeth
down and began working it back to
the throat muscles BY working each
series of muscles IN its body. together
food was worked along down to the
stomach. Five or six chickens and
three or four ducks sufficed for a meal,
and il lay crooked and dormant for a
week until the meal was digested. He
would often thrust a chicken into
snakes body until his entire hand was
in the throat, ut'this seemed to please
the snake rather than offend it. As
Mr.. Thompson expressed 1t, The fellow
seemed to thank me for my assistance"
A thousand times snakes have bitten
Mr.. Thompson, but only on three or
four occasions were any of the bites
inflicted by the poisonous kinds.
Mr.. Thompson had had considerable
experience with rattlers. and in his
talk he corrected many things mis-
by people in general about
this class of reptiles. The rattle was
given the RATHER by nature as means
Of warning TO others. men and beasts.
TO indicate that he was near by and
not to tread on him. The RATHER was,
IN fact, lazy sort of fellow, and did
not wish to be disturbed. Mr.. Thomp-
son had experimental with a snakes
-attle in the vicinity of cattle and other
animals and always noticed that as |
soon as they heard the noise they NOV
ID away, indicating that they knew by |
instinct that there was danger at hand. |
When RATHER felt any one approach
ng him, his scent being very keen, as
n fact it is in all snakes, he would |
oil himself up, thrust out his rattle |
all from beneath. and raise his head
lbout a foot above him. He never
truck out for his full length. as COM
non report has it, but only about twice
he length to which he had raised his
read, striking quickly at least three
lines, and then scurrying off.
Mr. Thompson stated that the cobra.

bout o. 900 people there annually, and
he government offered large sum

Depending ON the foregoing figures
for basis of receipts and exDendi-

months will exceed the income by say
eleven hundred dollars. The above
computations are very close. and since
the last three months OF the year the
expense will be increased by the salary
grade, the amount needed to meet the
deficiency for the five Honolulu kinder
gartens would be not less than $1,000,

Why He Declined.

Mr. Poobah Cooper has given Sec
rotary Garter the following reasons
for refusing to serve on the Board
OF Institutions:
I'm answer thereto have to say
with all due respect that | must
decline to accede to the request and
TO accept the appointment sug-
ges.ed, for the following reason.
"1st That by virtue OF my Office
as Superintendent OF Public Works
l am charged with the control,
management aud maintenance OF
the harbors, wharves, pilots and
towsge, and the Executive and
Judiciary buildings, and that l have
no power to surrender such control
management and m ,intenance to
apyperson or persons whatsoever.

nize the right OF the Board OF Pub
lie Institutions to assume control,
management or mainter ance of the
harbors, whsrves, pilots and tow
age, or OF the Executive aad Judi
ciary buildings in that l contend
that said Board has no legal exist
ence. al That the seotions coz
tanned in Act 81 Of the Session Laws
of 1906 purporting to establish a
Board OF Public Institutions are
illegal, being 10 contravention OF
the Organic Act generally and spe-
e.fcally OF section 45 OF said act, it
being separate and distinct cub
jsct not expressed in the title Of

legislature of the Territory Of Ha-
wall has no authority to modify or
change the form of Territorial
government as established by the

tive powers or right to assume the
control, management or malnte-
nance OF any public works of the
Territory, previously under the con-
troll or management OF any ex Gu
tive officer acting under authority
of the Organic Act. cl Further,
that il the Legislature did possess
