THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful Il Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disin-
fectant and purifier in nature, bat few

human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the mere you
take Of it the better; It is not drug az
all. but simply absorbs the gases and
Impurities always present in the stomach
AID intestines and carries them out Of
he system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after

POWER OF PURE WATER.
Distilled Water Prevents the Common
Winter Ailments.

The extreme importance of pure wa
ter supply in winter is apparent when
the fact is taken into consideration that
during cold weather the sweat glands
are of little assistance in freeing the
body of it's poisons, the whole burden
coming on the liver and kidneys. These
organs are generally unable to entirely
eliminate the waste matter which is be-
ing constantly generated in the system
unless a plentiful supply of pure water
is furnished them TO work with. Persons
who drink hard water or drink water IN
small quantities are seldom entirely wen
Most of the grips, colds, bad compilations
and rheumatic pains of winter, are due
to this cause.

MILLIONAIRE AND HIS BANK.

17rou the New York Evening Post)
weu-known millionaire hastily en-
tered a few days ago, the bank where
he carried a large deposit. He had lett
his nocketbook home and wanted cash.
The bank was sorry, but could not ac-
commodate him. It was past CLOCK
the vaults were closed. and the executive
staff had gone home.
The subordinate officers held a quick
council; and one of them thus described
the result
I'VE piled up every cent we had IN our
clothes. then we went through the CLERKS
and had every man in the establishment
turn his pockets inside out The Gus
toner was many times a millionaire and
could secure from us any day whatever
sum he needed But the time locks were
set and the best we could do was fifty
dollars in cash. He stuffed the roll in his
pocket and hurriedly went on his way.
We did not even ask for memorandum
knowing that he detested details, and that
a subsequent word with his secretary was
all that would lie needed to reimburse
the bank"
The incident may be taken a. Hlustrat-
ing first the limit which is drawn in the
control of banks by great financiers. of
which so much has been lately heard;
second. the advisability of presenting
checks before p. m; and third. the alb
sorbiug power of great wealth and credit
over the surplus cash of small capital
lists.

small package" is demonstrated ina the

- Smith in the Hawaiian Islands un-
til get the right one" With this he
grabbed Smith by the throat with his
left hand and began to pound him with
his right. Smith was perfectly cool and
only warded off the blows.
Smith seemed to be entirely able to
take care of himself and so no one in
terfered. A policeman who witnessed
the affray made no attempt to inter
fere. After striking Smith four or five
times Little lost his hold and was evil
IDENTIFY too much overcome to renew his
attack. Overpowered by rage and his
exertions he stood glowering at Smith
cursing him and threatening to thrash
him if the latter attempted to have him
arrested. Uttering threats against
Judge Parsons and all of those who
succeeded in bringing about a change
in the Circuit Judgeship, Little moved
off telling what he would do next time
Smith was not hurt and has refused
to have Little arrested for the as
sauIt.
Since he was relieved from his office
Little has been going about telling that
he would lick all of the people who
had opposed him in the late contest for
the judgeship. He is carrying large
navy revolver which he exhibits in pub
lie places and tells that he is going to
use it in settling up some of his old
scores. Last week he went to the bar
Der shop and when he took the chair
drew this revolver and laid it down be-
side him. Some one asked him what
he was doing with such a weapon, to
which he answered: 20, there are a cou-
pie of mougoose here in town which
have been bothering me for some time
and I must settle with them before

EX.JUDGE LITTLE WOULD
SLAUGHTER SMITH FAMILY

HILO, June 3O.-The threats which
ex-Judge Little made during the last
days of his official life are now being
put into force. On Wednesday last
Little went to the postohce for his mail
and there met John L. Smith. against
whom he has been making threats of
personal violence. Smith was standing
on the veranda reading letters when
Little came up 10 him and demanded
to know why the former had been writ
ing pieces in the Advertiser about him.
Smith was not disposed to take the ex-
Judge seriously and replied that he had
written nothing. Little became violent
in his remarks waving his arms about
and declaiming to the crowd. He de-
nounced the papers which had exposed
his army record and shaking his fist at
Smith said he could lick him and all
of the others in town who had been ly-

crowd of citizens, including many Ia
dies, were at the postoffice and We're

was under the influence of liquor. He
was white with rage and was using

GETS OUT OF
STRAUCH COMBINATION
Home Builder Asks to Be Let Alone Because
he is Training Natives to Vote the
Republican Ticket

Mr.. P. E. R. Strauch. that friend of
humanity and especially of the wage
earning native and Portuguese, put in
a full day yesterday. Bright and early
he bought an Advertiser and proceed
business opened, he had plenty of ex-
planning to do in which he was assist
ed by the eminent fnancier, George
Markham. Then Mr.. Sedgebeer resign
ed from the directorate Along in the
afternoon Mr.. Strauch professed to
have received an anonymous letter
threatening him with death and re-
alizing who his journalistic friends
were went down the street to the Sign
of the Calf and handed the missive to
the Bulletin. His next known step was
to seek out the Attorney General and
ask him to intercede with the Adver-
tiser to stop the row. Tell Mr.. Thurs
tom he said, that this whole scheme
of mine is one to turn the natives over
to the Republican party. I can con-
troll the votes of my customers and
when the time comes will swing them
right. Tell Mr.. Thurston that his pa
per, by attacking me, is hurting the
Republican party" The Attorney
General advised Mr. Strauch to make
his appeal directly to the Advertiser,
but nothing came of it. The Home
Builder did, however, approach re-
porter with the remark.
''Well do I get another blast tomor-
row?" II don't know was the reply;
there's plenty of material guess
"Oh, Keep it up, keep it up.' said Mr.
Strauch with sprightly humer. ''You
are giving ME the best kind of an
advertisement. Why I've done more
business today than at any time since
the Society started. Don't stop the
good work! Keep it going right along"
