DR.SLOGGETT
FALLS DEAD
The Sudden Demise of
the Asylum
Chief.

DR.. H. c. Sloggett, medical superin
tendent of the Oahu Insane Asylum,
died suddenly yesterday afternoon
about 2:30 o'clock of an apoplectic
stroke at the residence of Mrs. Mary
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 , 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 chair
in the parlor and conversed for 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.

visited the Humburg 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

| Dr. Sloggett came to Honolulu ten
years ago and took an office on the
| Schmidt premises, Beretania street,
making a speciality of eye and ear dis
! orders. That was not his first ac-
quaintance with Honolulu, as he was
here in the British scientific exploring
| steamship Challenger about the early
seventies. \ few years after begin
ming Dra ctice here DIR. Sloggett was
appointed by President Dole of the
Republic 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 Elks, DR.. Sloggett was ap-
pointed to succeed him. About four
years ago he lost his wife by death,
and shortly afterward resigned from
the Board of Health and went to
| Shanghai in the service of the 0Sient-
al Insurance Co. At the time he was
president of the Board of Health, DR..

There continues to be gossip about

talk that he has not yet made UP his
mind what to do. And it is becoming
evident that. if the Governor does veto
the bill. it Will be the House and not
the Senate that Will sustain the veto
if il is sustained. In the Senate. there
are said to be only five Senators who
would vote to sustain a veto. and that
IS not enough by one. The five whose

MORNING SESSION.

Mr.. Atkinson said the book clerk was
in immediate charge of the books, Miss
Daisy smith. She was directly under
the Secretary. No books were sold
without a cash tender with the excep-
ton that the Auditor and Governor
thought Hilo and other places might
be distributing points. No teachers to
his knowledge were owing the depart
ment for books.
There were no stated times of meet
ings OF the Board The initiative gen
orally came from him. In the last
year the Board had met thirteen times,
and committee meetings We're held fire.
q1ently Its action had to be approv-
ed by the Board. Only recently a
committee was appointed to investigate
certain matters in the Girls Industrial
School Full monthly reports from
both the Boys and Girls Industrial
schools. He considered both schools
conducted in a manner to do credit to
the country.
MISS DAWSON RECALLED.
Miss Dawson was recalled and the
question of janitors was again brought
up. She prescribed their duties. Their
working hours in the larger schools re-
quired them TO be on the grounds day
and night as they were in charge OF
valuable government property. The
janitor of Kaahumanu school was Mi

W0men's Proportions,

Ones weight should always be in
proportion to the height. Take as q
standard q woman between 25 and 30
years:
If her height is 5 feet she should
weigh ITO pounds.
If her height is 5 feet l inch she
should weigh lis pounds.
If her height is 5 feet 2 inches she
should weigh 120 pounds.
If her height is 5 feet 3 inches she
should weigh 125 pounds.
II her height is 5 feet inches che
should weigh 130 pounds.
If her height is feet 5 inches she
should weigh 135 pounds.
Add five pounds to each additional
inch in height. This scale applies
only to women, as men should be
heavier in proportion to their height.
If this flesh is properly disposed over
the body, the limbs and features will
present gently waving outlines; fire.
quently dimples and curves will pre-.
dominate instead of sharp angles and
straight lines. Proportions in persons
of the same height will also be found
to vary but little because the proper.
tions are in harmony.

The Presidents Dilemma.

All hope OF tariff revision at the
next session OF Congress sppears TO
have gone glimmering. The "pro-
tected hogs" are to be permitted to re-
main with their feet in the trough
and the poor consumer can take what
is left. The President is being in.
formed that if he urges any change of
the tariff he will get no railroad legis.
lation because Congress will take ad-
vantage OF tho two Issues to Offset one
with the other and will waste the en-.
tire session without accomplishing
anything. This argument is doubtless
true, because there are large Republi-
can msjorities in both houses Of Con-
gress and the majority of the Republi-
can members are controlled by the
railroads, the protected trusts, or by
both. At the same time If, a. seems
probable, the President refrains from
recommending both railway rate legis.
lation and tariff revision after all he
has said on both subjects, it will con.
stitute . grave indication of want of
confidence in the Republican majori-
ties in Congress. He will, in other
words. be taking them at precisely the
valuation set upon them by the Dem
OcrAts.

Hymns You Ought to Know
CON SOL ALTON.
Bv Thomas Moore
By In0mak Moore.

Thomas Moore, Dublin, May 90, l719.
bermuda, w. |. L., February 26, 1859,
the celebrated Irish poet and singer of
love songs, was also the writer OF about
thirty hymns. These were published in
1916, and among them, under the title of
Relief in Prayer" is found the beauti-
full hymn which is to-day so often sung
on occasions Of mourning. While few,
if any. of Moore's poems, retain the
place they once held in popular appreci-
alton, and almost all his other hymns
are forgotten, the comforting thought in
this poem has given it place of per-
manency along with the other great Eng
lish hymns.)
Come, We disconsolate, where e'er ye
languish;
Come to the mercy seat, fervently
kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here
tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can
not heal.
Joy OF the desolate, light of the straying.
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and
pure;
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly say
ing;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can
not cure.
Here see the Bread of Life; see waters
flowing
Forth from the throne OF God, pure
from above;
Come to the feast of love; come, ever
knowing
Earth has no sorrow W but heaven can't
remove.

ADVICE BY BRYAN.
On How to Start and Operate a Permanent
Peace Movement.


Peace Movement.
A letter addressed to President
Roosevelt from William J. Bryan, in
which plan for permanent peace
was suggested, was made public last
week. Mr.. Bryan congratulates the
President on his success in bringing
Russia and Japan together, and says:
"Why not ask Congress for author
ity to submit all international ques-
tions (when an agreement can not be
reached by parties interested) to an
impartial board for investigation and
report. Investigation will, in nearly
every case, remove the cause Of com.
plant and reconcile the parties.
Questions which a nation might be
unwilling to submit to arbitration in
advance could be settled by investiga-
tion by an impartial international
board.
ut was glorious thing to end the
war between Russia and Japan, but
it would have been more glorious to
have prevented the war and saved the
frightful loss OF life. The moral pres.
tige which our nation now enjoys
would, in all probability, enable it to
lead successful peace movement.
The congratulations which you have
received from the heads of European
governments strengthen the chances
of success. If the leading nations OF
the world would enter into an agree.
ment to join in the creation of such a
board and pledge themselves to sub
nit all disputes to the board for in.

danger of war would be reduced to q
Few men have had it in
their power to do so much for human
ity-will you improve the opportun-
ity? w. J. BRYAN"

Equal Paw for Equal Work.

Referring to the fact that several
women occupy positions in the Brown
county court house. the Hiawatha,
Kas., World says that " anything a wo-
man can do is better done than q man
can do," and argues from this that it
would be we'll to elect women to all
the offices they can fill. Then the
World concludes by saying: "Women
are not only better public servants,
but they work cheaper" But if wo-
men are better public servants than
men, why ask them to work for less
wsgesf Equal pay for equal work is
simple justice, and if women can do
the work better than men, then in all
justice give the women better pay.
The idea that because wage Garner is
. woman she should be paid less than
the male wage Garner doing similar
work is erroneous, unjust and calculat.
ed to befog the industrial issue. And
if the Hiawatha World is unable to see
the justice OF this contention it should
at least have chivalry enough to de-.
mand that tho woman receive equal
pay to that given the man doing SINH.
lar work.

Reminded Him of Home,

A Kansan crossing the Atlantic in
rough weather went out on deck when
big gale was blowing. Nobody was
in sight except the captain, says the
Kansas City Journal.
"Go below there" the captain
shouted.
The passenger looked around to see
whom he was talking to.
"You mean me?" he yelled back
when he saw there was no one else in
sight.
"Of course, I do; 60 below" and
the captain came alongside.
swell, guess not" protested the
Kansan. "Tm up here to see how
one of your mountain high waves and
terrific gales compare with what We
have in Kansas in the way of cyclones.
This ain't patch to what I've seen
out our way"
A big wave broke over the deck,
sweeping the Kansan aft. They picked
him up with broken leg, q twisted
shoulder, . sprained wrist, and his face
looking as if it had been dragged back
ward through q brier patch. When
he came to he saw the captain.
"By gravy, Cap" he said, feebly
"that reminded me of home, only il
was dern sight wetter."
