CASNIBALISM IN HAYTI.

Washington. October 9.-H. f.
Worley. an agent OF the insular bu-
reau. who was sent to Santo Domingo
10 investigate the revenue conditions
on the border between the Dominican
and Hay1ien republics. has made a
partial report TO the war department.
He estimates that the smuggling that
has been going on across this border
has cost the Dominican government
from s350.000 to 100000 a year.
The method was to land goods at
points in Hayti and send them by
coasting vessels near the Dominican
line. They were then carried over the
border by mule trains.
The tariff in Santo Domingo, ac-
cording to estimates made by Mr.
Worley, is about 73 per cent. ad vo-
loren. which is a great inducement to
smugglers.
Mr.. woriey also made a trip into
the interior of Hayti and says that re-
ports were often brought to him OF
savage customs in the widest regions,
including cannibalistic feasts, where
the victims are babies. These reports
were sufficiently authentic to be be-
lived by him.

Reunion.

Cheap Rates.

With the continued prosperity
that is now blessing this State there
is every indication that the State
Fair for 1905 will he more largely
attended than ever before IN It's his
tory. Last year the Sorth Carolina
State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society celebrated its annual Fair
at it's new home in the southern su-
burb OF Columbia. As is usually
the case, there were some little de-
tails that could not be finished for
the holding Of the last Fair, but
President Guignard has had full
year in which to have all of these
rough spots smoothed out, and the
outlook is that never before in its
history Will the State Fair have
more successful Fair than that
which is to be held here On October
2Atll. 25tll, 10Th, and 27tii,, inclusive.
>@ii'i:e irq,iry or space at the
grounds, as well as from small eN-
hibitors. indicate very general ap-
probation OF the valre Of such ex-
llibits. 4 great deal Of interest is
being shown in the mechanical de-
vices for use in agricultural pur-
suits. From the inquiries that have
been received there will be quite a
n, der of labor-saving devices ex-
,ibited, and, OF course, all up-to-
date farmers want to see these
things.
There is, however, a far more in
teresting phase of the State Fairs
than the mere exhibits in the build
ings on the ground, and that is the
opportunity for intercourse between
the people of the State that the
State Fair offers.

FREE-EoR-ALL FIGHT.
y
A Negro Frolic Resulted Seriously
: Two Badly Wounded-Four in
Custody.

:
From the Daily Item October s.
/. The sound, of twenty-five or thirty
pistol shots that disturbed the quiet
ude of midnight last night attracted
the attention Of officers McKagen and
Barwick, and they proceeded to make
an investigation. Oakland avenue
proved to be the scene of the fusilade,
and upon investigation, it was discov-
cred that a party of negroes had as
seYnbled in house between the prop
erty Of Butler DeLorme and Mr.. E. A.
Edwards, and had been engaging in
general frolic and dance. AS is the
general custom such social functions,
LIQUOR was freely used, and the party
broke up in a cutting and shooting
scrape.
By the time that the officers reach
ed the place, the crowd had evidently
been, frightened away by the fight
that occurred, and no one could be
found to throw any light upaa the
situation. Those negroes that tne
officers finally succeeded in locating
were in such horrible state Of intox-
ication that their statements regard
ing the occurrence were incoherent
and uninteiligible. After making trips
until 800 o'clock this morning, they
finally succeeded in capturing three OF
the crowd. Hampton Orr was found
with a dangerous knife or razor
wound, extending from his left ear
to his throat; George Richardson,
when captured, had painful gunshot
wound in his side; John Wesley re-
ceived a load Of bird-shot in his fore
head, and Joe Brooks, who was also
implicated in the affray, was taken
unhurt into custody.

APPEAL ADVANCED
IN IMPORTANT CASE

c. W. Ashford has filed in the Fed
eral Court assignments of error in the
petition of Emma L. Kaipu for writ
of habeas corpus to take her daughter
out of the custody Of the Board of
Health The first alleged error was in
overruling the demurrer to the re-
turn, the second in dismissing the Pc
tition and ordering Maikala Kaipu re-
manded to the custody of the Board
of Health and the third in having
ordered, rendered and entered judg-
ment in the case.
This step in appealing the case to the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, San
Francisco. is somewhat belated. Judge
Dole. at the hearing some months ago,
recognized important questions raised
and tacitly signnied that he would
rather prefer that the case should go
up for review. Agreeable to sugges-
tons he made on the occasion, also,
a change has been adopted in the sys-
tenn of committing people to the Molo-
kai Settlement.

ANOTHER BATTLE

j All day long yesterday Judge Lind
says courtroom resounded with a
forensic battle over J. S. Lows petit
ton for an order allowing $4,000 on
account Of counsel fee and $50 costs Of
court in the Annie T. X. Parker
guardianship case. J. A. Magoon and
J. Lightfoot' argued for the allowance,
and w A. Kinney and S. NJ. BaIlou
aGainst it.
The opposition was partly based on
the claim that before any expenses
were ordered paid there should be a
hearing on the contest of Lows posi-
ton as ''next friend" sutton on behalf
of the minor for the removal of her
guardian. In reply it was contended
that the decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States on jurisdiction
established Lows fright to sue with
other things, as, even if he were now
removed, someone would have to be
appointed in his place to prosecute the
charges duly entered against the guar
dian.
The hearing will be resumed at 10
o'clock this morning. Associated with

Patience

The Most Patient Honolulu Citizen
Must Show Annoyance at Times.
Nothing spoils a good disposition.
Nothing taxes a mans patience,
Like any itchiness of the skin.
Itching Piles almost drive you crazy
All day it makes you miserable,
All night it keeps you awake.
Itch! Itch! Itch! with no relief.
Just the same with Eczema.
Can hardly keep from scratching it.
You would do so but you know it
makes it worse.
Such mfseries are daily decreasing.
People are learning they can be cured.
Learning the merit of Doan's ONT

Plenty of proof that Doan's Oint-
ment will cure Piles, Eczema or any
Itchiness of the skin.

few applications I was much relieved.
and, continuing the treatment, was
soon completely cured. 1 have felt
no signs of that intolerable itching
since, and it is four months ago since
used Doan'S Ointment. To say that
was delighted is only half expressing
my enthusiasm. I recommend this
remedy whenever the opportunity is
presented. You may publish my state

WA|ALUA
RIOT CASE
Two Men Exhibit Their
Wounds in Assault
Case Trial.

Leong Chez was on trial before
Judge De Bolt yesterday for assault
with. deadly weapon on Chun Say.
The weapon was a loaded revolver and
the assault was alleged to have been
committed at Waialua on July 81, 1904.
A. S. Humphreys appeared for the
Territory, and ]. w. Cathcart for the
defendant It was stipulated at the
late term that the trial might be held
without a jury in vacation. The trial
was not concluded yesterday.
In the course of the trial yesterday
two witnesses exhibited gunshot
wounds in the legs received, as they
testified, in the riot that took place
at Waialua at the time stated in the
charge. According to the story made
out by the prosecution, there was a
gambling game and, at certain stage
in it, a proposition was made to divide
the pot. This was opposed by the de-
PENDANT, who was running the game,
and when the players undertook to
help themselves he left, the gaming
room and got two pistols. One of
these he handed to a friend, telling
him to shoot up the crowd, and the
other he retained. Then the shooting
began and there was a warm time
until the arrival of the police.
