DUE DELIBERATION
IN CHOOSING COOK
Vacancy Finally Filled on
Hospital Staff.
DISTRICTS SLOW CAUTION
Much Red Tape Unwound and Many
Letters Written to Complete
Domestic Personnel.
DISTRICTS SLOW CAUTION

Mrs. Sarah F. c. Conwell was today
appointed hospital cook at the Wash
ington Asylum Hospital with an annual
salary of $3.50. The appointment takes
effect as soon aG she shall report for
duty.
This appointment was made TO fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of
the former cook five weeks ago, as told
in The Times of that date, with a de-
scription of the red tape that had to
be employed in order TO allow the cook
to resign.
Not a Marker.
But the red tape incident to the resig-
nation was as nothing compared to that
accompanying the appointment OF the
new cook. This incident is pointed to
with pride by the District authorities
as an example Of the impossibility for
any person, man or woman. TO slip into
District service without knowledge Of
all concerned.
Before Mrs. Conwell could be appoint
ed. ten different documents were writ

and significant change In the personnel

The directress OF the nurses wrote the
| superintendent of the nurses that Mrs.
CoEweIl would be an excellent "dieti-
cian," whereupon the superintendent OF
the nurses informed the visiting ply
stefan that the lady in question would
be a fine cook" This gentleman then
said he had the honor to inform the
| secretary of the Board Of Charities
that the applicant for the position would
prove a good hospital cook" He also
wrote the Intendant of the hospital the
same thing.
Thereupon Sthe Intendant referred the
matter TO District Commissioner West,

would be solved Immediately. Mr.. ~ est

1t Is recognized that no undue hurry
should be observed in appointing so i'm

trict service. but It has been argued that
more red tape was unrolled In making
this appointment than in giving Mr..

Heavy RoyaIties

In 1874. when Rogers aid Pratt were
young and poor in the oil business,
Greenbough invented this process, and
sold IT TO them under a contract guar
anteeing him the royalty mentioned
Within a few years Greenbough had re-
ceived more than $4,000 in royalties
from the Standard OIL Company. to
which Rogers and Pratt had trans
ferred the invention.
Then Greenbough was lost at sea and
his widow having no knowledge OF the
contract with her husband, made 10
claim for royalties. The Standard CT
Company also apparently forgot it. A
short time ago Mrs. Greenhouse found
among her husbands papers copy OF
the contract, and the suit is tie result.

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

"When you are in doubt tell
the truth" It was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to beginner N the work. 1t
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth TWEEN
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We ara able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
ly what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. 1t is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. A COM
bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been so successful in Ane-

enza, Loss of Flesh and VAST
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, and all COM

where cod liver oil was indica-
ted but could not be taken by
the patient, and the results fol-
lowing were very gratifying" It

TO ARREST JUDGMENT.
Mr.. Dickey presented a motion in ar
rest of judgment. Besides setting out
that the Indictment was faulty the
motion held that the law was uncon-
stitutfonal, in that it made a person
criminally responsible for merely being
present where gambling was going on.
Under this law, Mr.. Dickey argued, a
person happening to be in a hotel cor
ridoF when a game was being played
for money in an adjoining room within
his view would be liable to arrest and
conviction for violating the law.
The court denied the motion and
counsel noted exceptions. Then the
court asked the defendants if they had
anything to say why they should not
be sentenced.
PLEAS FOR LENIENCY.
The first man spoken to said he want
ed to be tried by the jury. He did not
appear to know what had been doing
all day.
Another begged the Judge to pardon
him, as he worked for his living. He
was a poi merchant.
A third had come from Hilo to draw
a deposit of money from the Govern
ment, but was run into jail by the
police Asked if he did not know gam
blirg was going on at the place, he said
he did not.
The others had nothing to say, being
ready to take their medicine.
Mr.. Dickey, being asked if he had
to say for his clients, pleaded
for. 1epiency The men had NOT been
charged with gambling themselves and
their presence at a game was a minor
offense.
Judge Gear asked him if, as district
magistrate, he had not always sent Of
tenders of this class to prison for at
least thirty days.
Mr.. Dickey said not for presence at
gambling. He sent gamblers to prison,
as he considered gambling a lazy mans
vice and the best thing for those guilty
of the offense was 80 give them cornpul-
sorry work.
