WYMAN TAKES CHARGE.

The news from New Orleans that the
governor of Louisiana has called
upon the president to send Surgeon
General Wyman to that state to take
charge OF the work OF staying the raw.
ages OF yellow fever is an indication
not only that the situation is serious,
but also of the confidence Of the people
In the ability OF DR.. Wyman.
1t is peculiar, but a fact, that people
who will not heed mild measures pu,
into operation by a city Or state gov.
eminent to stay an epidemic, will
yield instant obedience to federal au.
thority, and live up to the most dras.
tic rules.CI 1t appears to be a peculi-
arity OF human nature everywhere to
hold in light esteem that authority
which proceeds directly from their own
acts, but to hold in high repute that
which is not SO close to them.
Last winter when the smallpox was
epidemic at Billings, though the To-.
cal authorities did everything that
could be done to stay the progress of
the disease.and wipe it out, it was only
when the state stepped in through the
board of health and took charge of
the stu ation, that good results were
Immediately manifest. Guarantees
that the;people's own servants estab.
!ishsd were violated. but just as soon
as the state board issued its rules and
took charge there was no thought of
disobedience.
The record is that Mayor Foster and
other officials Of Billings did just what
the state board afterward did, but the
people did not think much of their Or
ders. The same orders, backed by
state authority, we're unhesitatingly
obeyed.
Presiden. Roosevelt has instructed
Surgeon General Wyman to Use every
to relieve the stu alton in the
south, and there is little question but
in Il week the yellow fever scourge,
which has been growing in intensity,
will be under control.
We of Montana, who have no
scourges Of the sort to deal with, can
readily appreciate the situation in the
south, where at such times as these
business is%Iparalyzed and every man
looks at his neighbor with suspicion.

What VIII Congress DO?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The presi.
dents announcement that he will call
q session of congress for the middle
OF November, has awakened keen pub.
lie interest as to the matters that will
be brought forward for consideration
and action. 1t may be confidently
stated that the session will deal pre-.
e%minently with business questions.
The captains of industry will be sum-
moned to give their testimony in the
committee room hearings. Tariff and
railroad rate questions, and the bust
ness aspects of the Panama enterprise
will be the subjects demanding atten-
ton, and they will come in a peculiar
ly pressing form.
The prospect of success of any ley.
%islation affecting the tariff may Oh.
viously be influenced by the railroad
rate situation. 1t would be natural
for the stand patters' on both ques.
tions to unite forces in favor of letting
things alone. The fight will come from
the senate. The leaders are appar-
emily determined, whatever else may
be done in railroad legislation, tina,
there shall be no transfer of rate-mak'
ing power from the hands OF the own.

to supervise, or adjust rates implies
this. The senator's who hold this view
may not be in a numerical majority

\ CONFIDENTIAL CHAT.
"lt's perfect nonsense, Bessie, for you to
talk Of being laid on the shelf. Why, it all
depends on yourself. Forget your worries,
your aches and ailments do as l did, take
plenty of out-of.door air, cultivate happi.
ness by not allowing your mind to dwell
on the TRIES and the worries of life. I sent
thirty.one cents in stamps to DR.. r. v.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. ", for his Common
Sense Medical Adviser and found it con-
tanned much useful information about the
care Of my health, about physiology, anat-
omy, and everything woman should know.
then decided to write DR.. Pierce and tell
him all about my ailments. l received
such a nice, carefully considered and con.
hdential letter, in reply, giving me advice
about my diet, exercise and all. This
advice is free to everyone and wonder you
don't write him at once: 1t didn't take me
many months to regain my good looks.
Ever since l was fifteen l have suffered
untold agonies periodically but now l am
free from pain, worry and bad temper. Oc-
casionally I took DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets-this for the complexion, and to
stimulate the liver. Then I took Dr..
P'erce's Favorite Prescription three times
a day for those womanly weaknesses
told you about. That's my secret of
beauty: It's the easiest thing in the world
20 pc happy and keep ones good looks.
LOCI at the thousands of women who have
been made we'll by DR.. Pierce's Favorite
prescription look how they keep their

PROF. PICKERING
AT VOLCANO HOUSE

VOLCANO HOUSE, August S.-The
volcano being very active is. of course,
one great attraction at the Volcano
House. but we also have many others.
Prof Pickering, scientific gentleman
from Cambridge, Mass, gave very
interesting talk the other night ON as
tronomy, the moon and sun in con-
nection with the earth. He also talked
of the volcanic steam cracks, which
are found surrounding the crater of
Kilauea and Halemaumau. The talk
was very instructive. Among those

MAUI COUNTY WILL
PAY PRISONERS KEEP

II have received a check from the
county authorities of Maui for the keep
of prisoners awaiting conviction said
High Sheriff Henry yesterday so II
seems that the authorities OF the out
side counties have decided to pay this
expense themselves. l do not know
what action will be taken in Oahu
County. Perhaps there Will be no de-
termination reached until the bills are
sent in for the keep of prisoners at the
end of this current quarter. The jailor
on Hawaii has written me for instruc
tons as to how to remit money, so L
suppose that it is the purpose of the
Hawaii authorities to do as those OF
Maui have done.

the Iroquos out after the schooner il
she does not show up by Monday. The

paired, but it is possible that she may
be sent out if the Woodbury. does not
show up in a week or So Captain
Weisbarth will call on Captain Niblack
later and discuss the question further
The Lavinia's escape from destruc-

GUARDING THE CUT

Some question has arisen between
the Superintendent of Public Works
and the Rapid Transit Company as to
right of the company to guard the cut
through the roadway at the Eva end
of King street in the construction OF ITS
Kahauiki extension, and il has been
referred to the Attorney-GeneraFs de-
partment for settlement. In the mean
time. the government Will put red
lights along the edges of the cut at
night not being prepared to grant the
company permission to put up a rail-

WILL OPEN
PAWNSAOP
San Francisco Men TO
Begin Business First
Of September.

Two men, one from New York and
| the other from San Francisco, with
abundant capital and plenty of back
! ing, are in Honolulu looking at the
| field for the establishment of a pawn
broking business, and are said to have
| already secured quarters for the new
place of business On Hotel street not
| far from Union. The premises that it
! is proposed to use are now occupied
by another mercantile establishment
but are to be vacated by the first of
the month.
The pawnbrokers have stated to
clerks in the Office of the Territorial
Treasurer that it is their purpose to
take out their license by the first of
September, and at once begin busi-
ness. They will have the sign of the
three golden balls, and will do business
in the ordinary way that such enter
prises are legitimately conducted on
the mainland.
A pawnbroker's shop will be some
thing new in Honolulu, but under
proper regulation and in the hands of
men content to do legitimate bust
ness will not be a bad departure. In
fact, a pawnbroker, properly regula ted
and pnntanf with n re,
of his trade, might be something of
blessing in a community where there
is lot of small poverty And there
is no question whatever that the es-
tabllshment of such an institution
would be a severe blow to the local
usurers, if only because a licensed
paWbroker would give something like
the real value upon a pledged jewel,
say diamond, and would be willing
to give the jewel back upon the tender
of the advance. with legal interest.
1t was largely because of the evils
growing out of the system of grinding
usury here that the legislature, at it's
idSt SeSSiOIi. passed the act licensing
pawnhrokers. The law, which is Act
80 of the Session Laws of 1905, fixes a
license of $50 per year for the privilege
of carrying on a pawnbroking business
in the Territory. This pawnbroking
law provides:
THAT the licensee will not charge
or receive at the rate OF more than four
per centum per month for any loan un-
der twenty dollars nor at the rate Of
more than two per centum per month
for any loan over twenty dollars nor
more than one, hundred dollars, nor at
the rate of more than one per centum
per month for any loan over one hun
dred dollars, nor exact any other gain
profit or reward by charging commits
sions, discount, storage or other charge,
or by compromising interest, or by any
device increasing interest"
The law protects the pledger of any |
article in his right of redemption and |
is, in effect, very carefully drawn |
statute intended to give the pawn |
broker a chance to 1ive-provided he |
gives the same chance to his patron.
