A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. Oak, March .2S,-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story of G. w. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Brights Disease has always been consd.
cred incuraple, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure it, even in the most ad-
vanced stages. This is what he says:
81 was helpless as little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and read
everything we could find about Brights s
Disease, hoping that l would be able to
find remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that | should try Dodd's

A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease

medical research has given to the world.

THEY FACED BOTH WAYS.
Trouble Finding Out How Some Prom
inent Men Stood at Opening
of Civil War.

At an informal meeting of several
members of the Missouri Society of
New York, at which the situation in
the far east was discussed, says the
Sun, this story was told by an ex-
confederate:
There is one advantage which each
nation has," he said. 'I reckon every
Russian is for Russia, and every Jap
will be for Japan.
THE trouble in this country on the
eve of the civil war was to find out
how prominent men in some sections
stood Many persons waited to see
how these certain prominent men were
going to jump.
zone of the most conspicuous cases
of uncertainty in my state was the late
Col James N Burnes, then of Platte
county, afterward a millionaire, and
later a congressman of more than av-
erage ability. He was an orator, =
man of culture and perfect Chester
field in his manner.
"He had married into one of the
most exclusive families of the Platte
purchase. Mrs. Burnes was as bril-
liant in her sphere as her husband in
his.
"a few months before actual HOSTILE
ties, when many were wavering, a
meeting was held at the county seat
of old Platte, to settle the question of
union or secession. Several men
whose names later became part of
the history of the conflict were pres
| ent.
The trend of opinion was soon
found to be all one way-for secession.
| Col. Burnes was the last speaker.
When he had finished everybody pres
ent actually believed that one souther-
er could lick six Yankees, and every
equip a regiment.
He had told the meeting that he
was not only willing to spend all of
his money in behalf of the cause, but
he pledged all of his wifes property
as we'll. Both were rich
THE war came and Platte county
furnished more than her quota of vol
unteers, but James Burnes was not
among those who went out to die. On
the contrary sort of dumb ague came
upon the brilliant young lawyer, and
for awhile his whereabouts was un-
known.
mot long after when the union
troops were in possession of the coun-
ty, and meetings were held to induce
those who had not gone out for the
southern cause to rally round the flag
Col. Burnes showed up at one of these
gatherings, at which union soldiers
were on guard. The chairman of the
meeting was union captain. Col
Burnes was the principal speaker, and
the way he expatiated on treason and
the crime of secession was a caution.
"A short time after, debate on the
issues of the day took place in st. 10
seph, the disputants being Judge Silas
Woodson, afterward governor of tht
state, and Col. Burnes. Both were can.
didates for congress from that district
''Woodson was constitutional
union man, which meant, in Missouri
the union with the negro left in slav'
cry. He had, however, been accused a
the start of being too much union. Ii
his speech he referred to Burnes' offel
to help the south with his and his wfe's
fortunes, and then quoted from Burnes
union speech.
"Burnes replied that it was better tt
start wrong and then get right, than t
start right and then go wrong. Th
sentiment of the meeting was abou

SMALL RISKS OF

Editor Advertiser: Replying to your

Insurance Co, in this mornings Ad-
vertiser I wish to state that accord
ing to the last statement filed with the
Deputy Insurance Commissioner there
is not a single share of the Honolulu
Investment Cos stock included in the
assets of the Fidelity, and in reference
to the purported statement of Assist
ant Attorney General Fleming as to
what would happen if the Company
had to meet any considerable loss by
fire." 1 viii state that it would be inn
possible to have any considerable loss
by fire, for the good reason that we
have not considerable amount of
policies outstanding, and Furthermore,
on account of the way we have our
few risks scattered we could not lose
more than $500 on any one fire, unless
the entire city of Honolulu was de-
stroyed by fire; and even if that should
happen the Company has more than
enough of good assets to enable it to
pay every loss.

SMALL HOTEL
FIRE YESTERDAY

There was a small fire at the Ha-
waiian Hotel yesterday afternoon. The
damage was very small from the blaze
but a little more damage was done by
the water used in extinguishing the
flames. All told the damage did not
amount to much.
Painters were at work early in the
afternoon with small bellows fires
which are used to chip off old paint
before putting on new. While working
under the caves of the hotel this fire
ignited a birds nest and in a few
minutes quite flame could be seen.
A still alarm was turned in and the
firemen responded promptly. The blaze
was easily controlled.
The underwriters examined into the
fire last night and estimated the dam
age.

AKANA IS 4
MERCHANT
important Finding by
the Secretary of
Commerce.

| A decision by Secretary Cortelyou
of the Department of Commerce, which
| has a far-reaching effect on Chinese
| coming here, or returning to the Is
lands from visit to China, was re-
| ceived by immigration Commissioner
Brown, whereby well known Chinese
named Chu kin, otherwise known as
| Akana, is released from custody and is
now free to walk the streets of Homo
| lulu again.
The case of Akana is one which is
| unique in decisions regarding Chinese,
both under the Exclusion Act and the
immigration laws. Akana is prob
| ably the first Chinese to receive a fav-
orable decision of this nature.
Chu Kin has been resident of Ho-
nelulu for the past twenty years, was
engaged in the wholesale and retail
fish business, and had fleet of six
boats with which he caught his own
supplies. He went to China for
visit. He took out papers here which
represented him as merchant. On
his return to Honolulu Commissioner
Brown refused to permit him to land
on the ground that under the law he
was a 1aborer and not q merchant.
The law is to the effect that any one
engaged in taking, drying or selling
fish shall be considered Iaborer.
Attorneys Whiting and Clemens took
up Akana's case and the matter was
brought to the attention of Secretary
Cortelyou by Commissioner Brown. A
cablegram was received yesterday an
nouncing briefly that Akana was free.
Akana while having half dozen
boats to catch fish, did not fish per-
sonally. but was engaged in the whole
sale and reta' fish business at the
market. He was, technically speaking.
within the law, but was in reality a
merchant. This is believed to be the
first case of, the kind to be decided
in the new department. The Immi-
grafton Commissioner appreciated the
fact that Akana was a good citizen
but the law was stern and he was COM
PEELED to keep the man in custody until
a decision was reached at Washing
ton.
Akana is said TO have done about
$4,000 worth of business annually.

BUSINESS, almost amounting to horror,
with regard to anything of the kind, in
consequence of an accident, with
tragicdl termination. which he had
once witnessed. DIR. Jeremiah Cart
wright, recalled at this juncture. here
stated his firm conviction that the
wound had not been selfrniiicted,
which he proceeded to prove, TO his
own satisfaction and the entire ne
wilderment of everybody else present,
by the aid of great many pclysyila-
bic expressions and torrent OF pro-
fessional phrascolOgy. which swept
everyone off their feet, but which, on
being filtered down for the benent OF
the unlearned, merely amounted 10
the following facts, viz, that the edges
of the wound, by which the bullet had
made rs entrance, were torn ana
lacerated, as well as blackened and
burnt b. the action of the gunpow-
der, that the skin in the vicinity of
the wound was bllstered, the bleeding
slight, and chiefly from the oriice of
exit, and the two openings in the
scalp nearly opposite each other.
DR.. Cartwright, having brought his
evidence to conclusion, row gave
place to another witness, and one in
whose power it might be to help to
unravel the mystery. This last was
tne guard of the 4:30 train-an in

bandage round his head and one arm
in a sling. bore tokens of the injuries
he had received in jumping from the
train while it was in motion.
On being questioned as to what he

out any hesitation, that he remem-
