Gentlemen: We. the undersigned
Judges of the First Circuit Court of
the territory of Hawaii. earnestly rec
ommend and urge that your Honorable
Body fix the salaries of the official re-
porters and stenographerS of the First
Circuit Court of the Territory of Ha-
waii at a sum not less than Two Hun
bred Dollars per month each.
We are satisfied that efficient and
capable reporters cannot be secured
for a less sum. as the work is so ardu-
Gus that it demands sustained mental
and physical effort covering periods of
time that cannot be met except by
highly skilled and frst-class reporters.
It is true that during the past year
the reporters of this circuit have been
performing efficient service at a salary
of $50 per month, but such services
have been rendered and the incumbents
have continued to hold their offices
merely because and by reason of the
fact that 1t was understood that a

recommendation would be made at this
session of the Legislature to fix the
salaries of official reporters at what
they had been prior to the reduction
at the special session of the Legisla-
ture and that the reduction then made
was to be temporary merely and for the
purpose of combining all expenditures
to a sum which would not in the aggre
gate exceed the total amount realized
bv taxation until the next regular SEES
sion of the Legislature.
Experience has taught us that it is
worse than useless to employ as Off
cial reporters persons who cannot sus-
tain continued speed of at least one
hundred and sixty words per minute
for five consecutive minutes, coupled
with an ability to read his notes with
facility. for the reason that the lives,
liberty and property interests of the
citizens of this Territory are depend
ent in every case in which an appeal
might be taken upon the speed, accu-
racy and correctness of the official re-
porter in taking the testimony of the
witnesses, the objections and eXGep-
lions of counsel and of the rulings of
the Court during the progress of the
trial thereof.
The speed above indicated is merely
an average speed in court reporting, as
most charges and letters and docu-
ments read during the progress of a
trial are read at approximately IT'S
words a minute and while some testi-
mony is given at over two hundred
words minute, yet the average of tes-
timony, including stops and delays, APP
prOximates 100 words minute.

In spite of all that the military crit

WITH THE JAPANESE ARMY
Some of the Causes Which Helped
It to Succeed in the
Field.

In the advance of the Japanese
army down the peninsula, telephone
linesmen bearing on their shoulders
coils of thin copper wire. not much
larger and of no more weight than a
pack-thread, fcc1,iowed through the
kanl::2ES nelds on each side Of the
commander The moment he stopped,
writes Richard Barry, in ''The New
Siege Warfare at Port Arthur in
Century, a table was produced, re-
eeiver was snapped on the wire and
telegrapher stood ready More re-
markable was the advance of the tele-
phone into the contested redoubt of
the Eternal Dragon, where a station
was placed and operated for four
months, with the Russians holding
trenches only 40 meters distant and
on three sides. At this station, along
the front of which 20 men day were
slain by sharp-shooters, mail was de-
livered every time that a transport
arrived which was almost daily. Men
on the firing line received postal cards
from their sweethearts and mothers
an hour before death.
Telephone and post Office followed
the flag; the Red Cross preceded it.
The medical corps came, not in the
wake of the army, but close on the
heels of the pioneers. Before even the
infantrymen entered Chinese village
it was explored, the water of its wells
analyzed, its houses tested for bac-
terra and the lines of encampment
laid down This unusual sanitation is
looked upon by surgical authorities as
perhaps the chief cause of japanese
success.

STRONG EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
e. J. jenkins Guarantees That hyOmei
viii Cure the Worst Case OF
Cstarrh in Bryan.

When one Of the most reputable
druggists in Bryan guarantees that
n medicine will effect a cure or he
will refund the money, II speaks
volumes as TO the merits OF that
remedy. 10 is In this way that T.. j.
Jenkins is selling Hyomei, the treat
ment that has made so many cures
Of both acute and chronic cases Of
catarrh IN Bryan and vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill. nor is It a
fiquid that has TO be taken with a
tablespoon or wiseglass. Just breathe
IL by the aid Of an inhaler that comes
with every outfit, and benefit will be
seen from the first treatment.
II destroys all germ life in tie air
passages and lungs, and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozone. IL cures catarrh OF the head
and throat, or Of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous
membrane contains catarrhal germs,
there Hyomei will do its work Of
healing. when using this treatment
the air you breathe will be found
Ike that on the mountains high
above the sea level, where grow bal
samic trees and plants which make
the air pure by giving of volatile
antiseptic fragrance that Is healing
10 the respiratory organs.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81 90, and includes an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei for
several weeks treatment.
Remember that II Hyomei does
not cure you, +. j. Jenkins will re-
fund yoOr money. This Is a good
time 10 cure catarrh by this natural
method and prevent catarrhal colds
that are so common at this season.
