A HIDDEN TORTURER
DEATH PREFERABLE TO THE
AGONY BORNE BY Mr.. C0Yle.
Three Years oisExcruciating Neu-
ralgia Terminated by Six Boxes
OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Men still suffer from agonies of
disease SO intense that they can find
no terms fit to describe them save
words like torture and rack"
which call up wildly the barbarities of
the outgrown past.
The story of James B. Coyle, a mill
operative, residing at No. 9 Pond street,
Amesbury, Mass, is a striking recent
case in illustration. During the past
three years. said Mr.. Coyle to re-
porter, 81 was troubled with neuralgia
in the head. AT times the pains were
almost unbearable and my sufferings
were such that death would have been
welcome as a relief. The pains began
right over my eyes and shot upward
through my head. they were SO ex
cruciating that they would almost make
me faint dead away from exhaustion.
81 consulted several physicians but,
while they all diagnosed my case as nett
ralgia and prescribed for that, they gave
me only temporary relief Then | took
number of advertised neuralgia cures
with no better result. About four
months ago a friend told me about DR..
| Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and | decided to try box. After | had
used one box | noticed that the pains
were less frequent and intense than be-
fore. So | took second box with adj
ditional Improvement. After | had
taken six boxes my neuralgia was en-
tirely cured, and for two months | have
been free from pain. | have sound rest

WIRELESS MUST
GIVE VALUE
FOR SUBSIDY

Henceforth the subsidy of $1,000
month to the Inter-Island Telegraph
Co., appropriated by the Legislature,
will be paid pro rata to the days that
the wireless telegraph is in efficient
operation.
This is the decision made by Gov
ernor Carter yesterday after giving an
interview to Richard H. Trent, repre-
senting the company, in the executive
chamber. AS the Governor puts the
matter, if the Government is to pay
subsidy the public must receive an
adequate service in return.
C. NJ. White, chief clerk of the Pub
lie Works Department, will write to e.
E. Richards of Hilo and Sheriff j. H.
Coney of Kauai, requesting them to
send wireless message daily to the
Government for the purpose of testing
the system.

HAD A
GOOD YEAR
Starts New Year With
Surplus Of Nearly
a Million.

The annual meeting Oh tne Eva
Plantation Company was held yester-
day morning. The old officers were
reelected. The net sugar proceeds for
the year amounted to 81, S09, S41.T4 DIV
idends amounting to 100000 were paid
and balance of 1921, S92.10 is carried
over to next year.
The following is the report of Man
ager Renton for the year just closed:
To the President and Directors of the
Eva Plantation Co., Honolulu.
Gentlemen: / have the honor of sub
hitting to you the following report on
various plantation work in connection
with the fiscal year ending December
31st, 1903:
CROP 1903.
Grinding was begun on January I'd,
1903, and completed on July 2Sth. The
output, while less than the previous
year, exceeded my anticipations. There
were ground:
Gl6.72 acres Plant Cane
1885, acres Long 1st RATION Cane.
76l. 40 acres Long I'd Ratoon Cane.
4j1.32 acres Short Ratoon Cane.
34Si.77 acres total, which yielded
30, 2l3 1875 tons sugar. The above does
not include cane ground for Apokaa
Sugar CO., viz, 1875 acres. The aver
age yield from Plant and Long RAJ
toons was very good, but the general
average of the entire crop was reduced
by the Short Ratoons, the area of
which was larger than usual. Apart
from this some of the canes ground
were from, what are considered at
Eva, the poorer fields of the Planta-
ton, for instance: portions of Nos.
II, is and 10. The new lands at Wal
manalo. No. % Sections ID and Il, and
Nos. 26 and q, showed very heavy
growth of cane when cut, which, con-
sidering the lateness of their planting,
in October and November of 1901, was
remarkably good.
1t is, perhaps, almost unnecessary to
speak of damage done by leaf-hopper
as this although difficult of estima-
tion is generally understood. 1t
would, nevertheless, be well to state
here that, during the growth of the
crop of 1903, this insect was found in
plentiful numbers for the first time
in the Eva fields; and that there is GER
tainly a well-defined relation between
their presence and decreased yields.
From very close observation l am in
Clined to believe that there is finan-
Cial gain in the cultivation of Long
LIST and I'd Ratoons. The expense Of
blowing, preparing, planting and seed,
is n1tppeth her lisDpn Sel wifi in ratOOns

LOOKS FOR
INCREASE
]. F. hackfeId Talks of
Sugar Situation in
Germany.

j. F. Hackfeld, the head of the firm
of Hackfeld q Co., was one of the re-
turning passengers on yesterdays Ala
it's to Honolulu. Mr.. Hackfeld looks
for an increase in the price of sugar
about the middle of the year.
Il am here on one of my periodical
visits from Germany" said Mr.. Hack
field yesterday. 1T is my first visit for
a year and l shall remain about two
months. The local sugar situation l
know nothing about, and l remained
over but a few days in San Francisco
and the people here probably know
more about the situation on the coast
than l do.
LAS to the sugar situation in Ger
many l should say that the yield of the
last beet crop in Europe was very ia
Vorable and consequently the price of
sugar has gone down in Europe more
than had been expected. But | believe
that the beet growers will not SOW out
so many beets during the next planting
season in order to reduce the present
large stocks of sugar, as l believe they
are hardly making expenses at the cur
rent price of sugar. AT the same time
the consumption in those countries that
agreed to the terms of the Brussels con-
vention will increase considerably be-
cause of the present low price of raw
sugar, which will also tend to reduce
the large stocks of sugar now on hand.
So l believe there is a good chance for
rise in the price of sugar towards the
middle of the year
The Hawaiian gazette., 1904-03-01

Throughout the season the juice was
of good quality and fairly high in sug-
ar. Mill work was of high order.
Sugar manufactured per day averaged
227.19 tons.
Three "Hersey Dryers" We're added
to boiling-house equipment during the
year. These machines are each, 20 feet
long by 6 feet in diameter, with a total
of $500 square feet of heating surface.
All the sugar, after being dropped from
the centrifugals, is carried by convey
ors to the dryers passed through
them and, finally, delivered to elevated
hOpperS from which it falls into sacks.
The result is cleaner heater, cheaper
handling all around. They We're set
| up and placed in operation on April lst
April oath and May 25thI respectively
| consider them a great success in ev-
cry way.
The Eva Mill is one of the few mod
| ern mills which have not yet installed
crystalliZers. Without passing upon
( the question whether it would be profit
| able to set up a costly plant for the
purpose of running all the sugar
| through crystallizers, | am inclined to
the opinion that small number of
these machines for handling third grade
, only would give a good return on the
| Investment. |, therefore, recommend
| that, as soon as eXpedient, one crystal
liZer be purchased for experimental
purposes to determine number required
and the financial prospects from hand
ling third sugars in that way.
IRRIGATING PUMPS.
There have been more alterations and
| additions during the year in this de-
partment than in any other. A l75-
II. =. Babcock x Wilcox boiler has
been set up at No. . Station to COM
plete its equipment. This was absolute
iy necessary to allow one boiler to be
set aside for cleaning purposes.
At No. Station there has also been
added a 75-H. p. BabcoCk X Wilcox
boiler The boiler formerly used for
| generation of power at this place was
worn out and it was necessary to re-
| place it.
| \ year or more ago il was decided to
J lower the two pumps at No. Station,
one during each rainy season. on Nov.
/, 1902, eNcavating was commenced. BY
May 10, 1903, No. 4 Pump had been re-
moved from its former position, over
hauled, set in place and put in motion.
| ON Dec. Q, 1903, work was begun remov-
D ing No. Pump. AS all of the walls
/ and foundations We're completed some
| time ago, the installation of this pump
| will take much shorter time than did
No. 1. In its present position the ca
! paCity of No. 4 has been increased over
100000 gallons in "A hours. There is
no reason why proportionate increase
may not be expected when No. 3 Pump
is placed alongside of No. 4. The ne
