Hon. w. Cameron Forbes, the newly
appointed member of the Philippines
Commission, passed through Honolulu
yesterday on the steamship Korea. He
will have the important portfolio on the
Commission of Commerce and Police.
This is practically the work which Gov
ernor Wright, when Commissioner, had
to manage.
Mr.. Forbes was yesterday the guest
of Acting Governor Atkinson. Lunch
con was had on the lanai of the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel, the other guests be-
ing Mr.. ]. r. Gait and Col. George
Macfarlane. Afterwards the Commits
sioner was driven by the Acting Gov
there enjoyed a surf-boat ride. When
the Commissioner boarded the steamer
last evening he was attended by Mr..
Atkinson and wore large number of
leis
Mr.. Forbes stated yesterday after
noon to an Advertiser reporter that it
was the policy of the Philippine adj
ministration to extend the railway and
road system through the archipelago
that outlying districts might be brought
into closer communion with the sea-
ports and thereby stimulate trade.
The opening up of the interior of the
various islands so that the products
could be easily marketed was a mat
ter which is having the earnest con-
sideration of the administration.
AS to politics Mr.. Forbes confessed
that he was not up on the situation and
was not much of forecaster, although
he saw no reason why Roosevelt should
not be elected. st have not been a
politician, and have never before been
what you might call public man."
said Mr.. Forbes. ''I have been a bust
ness man and kept my nose to the
Wheel
Mr.. Forbes is grandson of the late
Ralph Waldo Emerson. Twelve years
ago he was graduated from Harvard
University and soon after became iden-
titled with a large electrical firm
whose enterprises represented capital
of $50, 10000 He has been an officer
in forty large corporations.
He was much interested yesterday in
meeting Mr.. GartIey of the Hawaiian
Electric Company, and both talked
shop at once.
Mr.. Forbes was we'll known athlete
in Harvard, and coached the Harvard
football team one season. He also
coached the Harvard baseball nine
which defeated Yale in 1897 and 1898.

A Woman's Wealth,

GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
Run DOWN WOMEN.

Il is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness Of nation depends
much upon the physical condition OF its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overgork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleePless, and debih-
fated.
We bring TO the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women

Congress Will be asked at the next
session to make an appropriation for
the establishment of a medical expert
ment station to be used at the Leper
Settlement, Molokai, in conjunction
with suitable hospitals, laboratories
and equipment for carrying on original
research in the work of discovering a
cure for leprosy. The American Medi-
cal Association, numbering $4,000 mem
bers, among whom are the most dis
tinguished specialists, scientists and
practitioners in the country, will re-
quest Congress to pass such an appro-
priation. The matter was brought be-
fore the American Medical Association
by DR.. Charles B. Cooper, former pres
ident Of the local Board of Health, and
his suggestions were adopted.
DR.. Cooper returned yesterday on the
steamship Korea from Washington,
New York and other Eastern cities,
having been in attendance at the Ma
tional Medical Congress held in Wash
ington under the direction of Surgeon
General Wyman of the United States
Marine Hospital Service, and the an
nual convention of the American Medi-
cal Association at Atlantic City. He
also attended the Republican copven-
ton at Chicago.
1t was also his privilege to be closeted
with President Roosevelt and a chat
was had on political. educational and
racial matters in the islands.
The President received me with his
usual cordial Delighted and we had a
pleasant chat about island matters"
said DIR. Cooper. He did most of the
talking, putting questions to me with
great rapidity. He seems well ac-
quainted with Hawaiian affairs.

ernor Carter did good work and be-
came very popular. He seemed to have

continued DR.. Cooper. He praises Ha-
wall at every opportunity and is in
teresting himself in its affairs at all
times. He is millionaire and has a
farm of 10 acres which it is his hobby
to look after personally. He has a mag

The Cannibals Spared His Life.
From the Boston Record.

From the Boston Record
A missionary Of a very adventurous dis
position was given an exceedingly difficult
post on one OF the FIJI Islands He was
instructed to limit himself to one island,
and not attempt to extend his supremacy,
as he would probably become the star fea-
ture Of a cannibal pate de foie gras or
something worse. The missionary obeyed
Instructions for a while. but his zeal for
conquest, overcame his prudence. He
started on in little boat and went to
another island on tour Of inspection. He
reached the island. but before he knew
of the cannibals.
Luckily, he had just recovered from an
attack of fever. and was thin and emaciat-
ed. The shrewd cannibals declined to kill
him Immediately, but gave him the best
they had to eat to fatten him up for the
festive occasion. Days passed by until he
reached the stage of perfection, and the
chief announced that he must prepare him
self. Now, the missionary was a rare
diplomat. and he started to argue the ques-
ton.
do you know" he said to the chief,
that do not believe you will like me
after you have killed me. / propose that
you taste me. and try me. and if you like
me- then kill me. If you don't like me- II
will be a great waste to kill me-"
The chief acquiesced and the missionary
rolled UP his trousers leg to prepare for the
knife. The chief carved off a generous slice
and Immediately put 1T into his mouth He
made a wry face and passed the remainder
Of the morsel along to his head man. This
continued on down the line, and all made
gestures OF disgust when they tasted the
food. The chief then nodded sorrowfully to
the young missionary and told him that
his life was saved, as he was too poor to
eat
The missionary had cork leg.
