FALLS DEAD

DR.. H. c. Sloggett. medical superin-
| tendent of the Oahu Insane Asylum,
died suddenly yesterday afternoon
about 2:3O o'clock of an apoplectic
stroke at the residence of Mrs. Mary
i d. Hendricks at Kaimuki, known as
"Lilinoe."
| For months previous to his death DR..
Sloggett was believed to be in very
good health though he had complained
at times lately of not feeling just right.
Yesterday morning he seemed perfect
ly well. About 2 o'clock he drove out
to Mrs. Hendricks's home to make
call. He tied his horse in the yard,
and entered the house, sat upon a chair
in the parlor and conversed for a few
minutes with his hostess. Suddenly he
stopped speaking and fell forward to
! the floor and was probably dead with
In a minute.
} Drs Mays and Cooper were telephon-
, ed for and responded quickly, finding
the facts as stated. From the pur-
plish flush of the face the physicians
saw at once that apoplexy was the
cause of death.
The news was terrible shock to DR..
Sloggett's daughter, Mrs. ]. F. Hum
burg of this city, or her father had
visited the Hamburg home the evening
before and was then apparently in good
health.
The news was sent by wireless tele-
graph to his son, Digby Sloggett on
Kauai. AS the son cannot arrive here
until tomorrow morning by the steamer
w. G.. Hall, the funeral will not be
held until tomorrow.
DR.. Sloggett came to Honolulu ten
years ago and took an Office on the
Schmidt premises, Beretania street,
making a specially of eye and ear dis
T orders. That was not his first ac-
quaintance with Honolulu, as he was
here in the British scientific exploring
steamship Challenger about the early
i seventies. A few years after Begin
ming practice here, DIR. Sloggett was
3 appointed by President Dole of the
4 Republic a member of the Board of
! Health. Then, when Dr. Cooper re,
signed the presidency of that body on
departing for the States to visit his
old home and attend the grand coun-
ell of the E,lks, DIR. Sloggett was APP
l pointed to succeed him. About four
I years ago he lost his wife by death,
$ and shortly afterward resigned from
Y the Board of Health and went to
Shanghai in the service of the Orient
0 al Insurance Co. At the time he was
president of the Board of Health, DR..
:. Sloggett was conducting an eye and
3 ear infirmary in a cottage adjacent to
the Masonic Temple, Alakea street.
: Also while he was president, a recru-
descence of bubonic plague occurred
which was successfully handled by the
I Board of Health without any general
: quarantine Of business and commerce,
and indeed with but slight publicity, al
though there were more cases to deal
: with in the year than were recorded
in the epidemic of 1S99-190O, when for
L many months the port was under a
s strict embargo.
DR.. Sloggett left a son, H d. Slog-
tation, Kauai, and a daughter Mrs.
; ]. Hamburg, of this city, and grand
children.
For the past two years DR.. Sloggett
had been superintendent of the Insane
Asylum. During his administration the
0 Insane Asylum grounds were remodel
erected. Dr. Sloggett was popular
> there and successfully administered
; the affairs of the asylum.

cent months and the western bankers
. have invariably outbid the Wall Street
I bankers, who are looking for too large
profits. On this particular bond issue,

c there were three other bidders, two OF

from Kansas City and one was from
Cincinnati. The Wall Street bidder was
the fourth and last on the list, his bid
e being the highest of all.
Mr.. william Haywood leaves here in
e a week for a trip to Cuba, where he
s will make observations with reference
Z to the sugar industry in that island.
8 He plans to return by way of New Or
! leans where he will have opportunity
to get in touch with the sugar men of

e ident Roosevelt last week three charm
l ing Honolulu girls, who had the time
e of their lives viewing the ceremonies

Schaefer and Miss McCandless. They
E had splendid seats on the big Lafayette
t Square reviewing stand, just opposite
5 the Presidents stand, where they could
!. see all of the parade to the best pos
' sible advantage. The same evening
Y Mrs. Haywood chaperoned them to the
3 inaugural ball, where they had de-
lightful time.
