RANKS MOSQUITOES
MKT TO WHISKY

NEW YORK, August 6.-"Next to
Whisky, mosquitoes are the greatest
curse to mankind" said Sir Patrick
Munson today at his apartments at the
Holland House. Sir Patrick is physi-
clan and medical adviser to the British
colonial Office and eminent because he
was the first physician to discover that
the mosquito was the worst of the ma
larial parasites. He arrived with Lady
Munson on the Lucania, and will leave
tomorrow afternoon for San Francisco,
where, before the Cooper Medical Col
lege, he will deliver series of lectures
on Tropical Disea ses.''
Years of research in the tropics have
convinced the physician that only by
prevention of the bite of the mosquito
and other blood-seeking insects can
freedom from tropical diseases be as
sured. Arriving In this country when
the yellow fever is ravaging New Or
the harbor of New York, the opinion
of Sir Patrick as to the danger of the
spread of the disease in the North is
valuable.
There should >not be the slightest
danger" he said, from the case at
Swinburne Island. 1t is to be presumed
that your health physicians have en-
closed patient by mosquito bars. for

WHAT 1T WILL DO.

A woman buys sewing ma
chine for what it will do; not as
an article of furniture. A man
carries a watch to tell him the
time; not as an investment of
surplus capital. The same prin-
ciple when one is ill. We want
the medicine or the treatment
which will relieve and cure. The
friend in need must be a friend
indeed, something, or somebody,
with a reputation. There should
be no guesswork in treating dis
ease. People have the right to
know what a medicine is, and
what it will do, before they take
it. 1t must have behind it an
open record of benefit to others
for the same diseases, series
of cures that proves its merit
and inspires confidence. 1t is
because it has such a record that

The men enumerated at SIS per month

In the month. Heretofore 1t has been
the practice to pay the laborers on
the basis of calendar days in the month
adding the included Sundays to the
total number of days worked and maxi
ing this sum the number of days to
which men We're entitled.
Under the Territorial regime the
men worked for the most part prac-
tically the full month. At present the
payroll Is made up so largely of frac-
tional months that more exact sys-
TEN would be to pay the laborers on
the basis of the working days In the
month.
In the present month there are 81
working days, and each laborer would
be entitled by this system to as many
twenty of the month as he
has worked days. BY the former sys-
tenn, the laborer would be entitled to
the number of days worked plus the
additional Sundays allowed and his
pay would be at the rate of 131 OF
S45 per day.

Visors as to which system / shall

PROF. SMITH IS
AGAIN MARRIED

The engagement of Prof. Albert w.
Smith and Mrs. Ruby Green Bell was
recently announced and was the source
of great surprise among their friends.
Prof Smith and his former wire,
Mary Roberts Smith, are well known
here, having visited the,islands several
years ago. Mrs. Smith also gave a
course of lectures here some time ago.
Both Professor Smith and his future
wife, Mrs Bell, have been instructors
at Stanford University. Prof. Smith
spent twelve years there as director of
the mechanical engineering depart
ment. He left last year to become
dean of Sibley College at Cornell.
Mrs. Bell entered Stanford as stu
dent in 1895, but discontinued her Uni
yersity work, returning again later ana
graduating in 1902. Since then she has
been an assistant and instructor in the
biology and entomology departmets at
Stanford.
Professor Smith recently came West
to claim his bride, and the wedding was
to take place on the Stanford campus

THOs, M'G|FF|N'S
- FATHER is DEAD

News was received yesterday of the
death at Washington, Pa. on July 80,
of Col. Norton McGiffin, father of
Thomas McGiffin of Honolulu. The DEF
ceased was 81 years of age. The Army
and Navy Journal says: Colonel Nc
Giffin was born In Washington and
came of a distinguished family. He
graduated from Washington College In
1S41, and went to Unionrown and read
law with the late Judge Ewing When
the Mexican War broke out he enlisted
with the 1st Regiment, Pennsylvania
Volunteers, and served throughout the
gagements. Colonel McGifnn was in
jured in the battle of Pueblo. At the
close OF tie war McGiffin received his
commission as colonel from the Gov
e.nor of Pennsylvania. He entered poll
ties and served as county treasurer ana
sheriff. In 1861 he served In the 18th
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and
Was elected lieutenant colonel. At the
close of his three months term of ser.
vice he was transferred to the S5th
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer In
fantry, retaining his rank of lieutenant
colonel. During the Peninsula CAM
| paign he contracted fever and was
compelled to resign his commission. He
engaged in farming in Washington
County for ten years, and was elected
on the Republican ticket for State
Legislature. In 1890 he received the
appointment of United States Consul
| at Port Rowan, In Ontario, Canada,
| and in 1892 was appointed Consul at
! Port Hope, Canada, where he remain
| ed for two years. In 1853 he married
| Miss Sarah Houston Quail, and TO
them were born six children-Mrs. G..
w. Henshaw, of Washington; Thomas
| McGiffin, of Honolulu, Hawaii; James
| Q. McGifiin, who died several years
ago; Philo Norton McGiffin, who died
| III 1896, as a result of wounds received
in commanding Chinese war vessel in
the conflict with Japan, and Rev.
Nathaniel McGifiin pastor of Presby-
| terrain church in Nebraska. Mrs. Nc
Giffin died in January, 1908, on the day
| following the fiftieth anniversary OF
| HeT marriage.
| Captain Norton McGiffin who COM
manded the Chinese warship was one
the heroes of that disastrous war on
the Chinese side. The vessel which
McGiflin commanded was battered by
the Japanese warships. 1t was one of
| the first opportunities nations had to
judge of the worth of armored vessels.
Those aboard the Chinese ship ascer-
tained, however, that to be on a yes
sci getting the worst of 1t, was no
joke. The conclusion from bursting
shells tore McGiffin's clothes to shreds,
and his hearing was completely shat
! tered He was then a fne-looking,
iwell-built man. But the result of the
conflict and his wounds reduced him,
few years later, almost to a skeleton,
and his mind gave way. He died by his
own hand in New York City.

cial session yesterday afternoon to
consider the question OF the blanket
warrants. The following members were
present, Chairman smith. Supervisors
Lucas, Adams. Moore and Archer.
After the minutes were read and ap-
proved Adams Of the Committee on
Public Expenditures presented two sup

Lucas of the Committee on Roads.
Parks and Bridges reported that at the
request of business houses he had or
dered the road leading to the Hackfeld
wharf to be fixed in places where 1t
was very bad. Lucas also thought that
the board should allow him $1,000 extra

they did not, he would run over his
appropriation several hundred dollars.

The appointment of Mr.. Saito is only
one more indication of how closely the
future of Korea is to be interviewer,
politically with that of Japan. The
treaty of peace now being negotiated
by the plenipotentiaries of Japan and
Russia at Portsmouth, New Hamp-
shire, already includes in the articles
agreed upon one that gives Russia's as
sent to Japan's assumption of prepon-
derating influence in the affairs of Ko-
rea. 1t is not at all likely that any
other nation will dispute this. And so
Mr.. Saito is perhaps only one of many
Japanese Consuls who will in future be
recognized also consuls for Korea.

I say that is a splendid reward for
long-continued and faithful effort, and
it is reward which think the peo
pie of Belfast have done more, per-
haps, than any other community of
lrishmen to bring about. Therefore, l
think is is that we have every cause
to congratulate ourselves, and I am
most heartily rejoiced to be once
more amongst you, and to be the recip-
lent Of so warm welcome. have
only to say, in conclusion, that if any
thing could add to the pleasure of this

the fact that have been accompanied

substitute, and to make a1y attempt
to substitute one system of intolerance
for another that we have swept away.
Therefore, I say this, that throughout
my political life-and rejoi"e to
know that in this sentiment have the
sympathy of all in this room, and of
all the fighting Nationalists of Belfast
throughout my political life have
always maintained that the great
cause, especially for Irish Catholics,
the most sacred interest of their reli-
gion as we'll as of their country, is the
freedom of their nation.
For my part, I confess, that long
years ago this ideal presented itself
to my mind, and have consistently
followed it. have said that if you
could introduce, or if you could bring
about a unity of sentiment and co.ope-
nation between all the scattered
branches of the Catholic people of
Ireland who have wandered over the
world, the power which exists in the
scattered Irish race is so overwhelm-
ing that l believe it would be impos.
sible for any power in this world to
deny liberty to Ireland for more
than two or three years after such a
union was brought about; and l am
convinced that if we can maintain and
preserve in Ireland that National un.
ion for which you have fought so
bravely and so successfully in Belfast
for another few years, this wider unity
will necessarily follow; and / confess
my hopes in that direction have been
enormously strengthened by the no.
BILE action of Cardinal Moran, Arch
bishop of Sydney.
Cardinal Moran, Archbishop of Sgd
ney, announced recently that in his
judgment the time had come when Ire.
land should not be allowed to carry on
this battle unaided, but that the Bish-
ops and priests of the Catholic Church
throughout Australia and New Zealand
and Canada and America united with
the Catholic laity should form great.

levy a tax upon every parish through

here to Ireland to aid us In this strug.
gle; and understand Cardinal Moran
has called great meeting in Sidney
within the last month for the purpose
| of commencing this great work. And
does anybody for moment doubt that
if the whole of the colonies of England,

ica, were to enter into such wide.
| spread combination and strengthen
! our bands by sending home funds regu-
larly-a very large sum it would be-,
I even although it might be small sum
I off each parish-does anyone doubt for
q single moment that the Government
! of this country would be compelled to
yield everything that we demand. No
government could resist such a COM
bination for long.
This is the idea I have always
placed before my mind as the greatest
Catholic interest. 1 believe all local
| struggles to defend Catholic interests
\ are as nothing when compared with
this great attempt, because If we sue
ceed in restoring to the people of Ire
land the right to govern their OWL
land, is there any fear that Catholic
interests will not be protected? And

years. Look at this miserable fact,
that Notwithstanding the great fight
we have made, Notwithstanding all the
concessions which we have wrung
from an unwilling Parliament in Lon
don, still our nation is perishing away
before our eyes, and the flood of emf
grafton is pouring out of Ireland with
undiminished, nay, with increased, in
tensity. ..T..
We have an Anti-Emigration Socie
ty; we have Land Bills; and all kinds
of concessions have been won; but so
long as you deny to the people Of Ire

l wish to put stop to, and / say, IN
my opinion, every other consideration
ought in the ultimate issue to give way
to that one master necessity of restor-

of working out its own destiny here
in the cradle land of its race. These
are the objects and the ideals for
which l have striven. | rejoice to
that the people of Belfast have always
appreciated whatever humble efforts
have been able to put forth in support
of them. have come as have often
said, to Belfast under many circum
stances. have come here in times
of bitter encouragement when many
of the bravest hearts that beat for Ire
land despaired of the future of their
country. I can we'll recollect how,
in the days of the unfortunate split
which divided the forces of Ireland for
ten years, many of my closest COM
rades said to me: "Give it up. This
is the end of the Irish movement. We
shall never live to see the force of Ire
land united together. Those who have
led these opposite parties, and have
used such horrible language about
their old comrades, will never unite,
and you and will be dead and buried
before Ireland is united, fighting for
freedom again."
Well, never despaired, and l con.
fess one of the main causes which
made me stick to the fight and never
give up hope was the condition of
things l always found in Belfast. When
l came here found that Belfast men
never lost hope, and, although they
appreciated keenly the horrible posi-
tion in which the National Cause was
placed, they stuck to their guns, and
they fought with unfailing energy,
even in spite of the local troubles they
had-they fought with unfailing energy
to support the National Cause, and
they continued to hope as 1 hoped,
that they would live to see the day
that this madness would pass away,
and that the National forces would be
reunited.
We have lived to see the leaders Of
the rival parties coming down here to
Belfast to receive Belfast welcome
and know no stronger word can
use-I, who had been leading one OF
the parties coming down, as the lieu
tenant and supporter Of Mr.. Redmond.
