BY way of instructing him in his new

THE FAD FOR
FENCING@@
by AUBREY NEWTON
Nopylisht, lgo5, BY Joseph i. DoNlel.l

Dear Stan: There's not n word of
truth in it. as | telegraphed you, and
don't read the papers II you could
see the headlines: What the New
Womans Fad for Fencing Is Leading

and my picture in fencing clothes
oh, don't look at single paper until
tell you!
To begin with, why did you leave
me? Why did you leave me in the
care Of your dear little chum?"
Early Tuesday morning he sent over
flcr tho hospital with a note asking
me g. so with him to see Sherlock
Holmes" Well we went.
There's lots of high lights and lots
OF inky darkness in that play. and It's
play where you want to watch the
stage every minute; but right in front

Der size was the girl who fenced with
me in the tournament last spring; the
one who was so angry with the
fenccrs for something Crawford said
about e foul thrust. She's gone on
the stage and is to lead in a new
company.
She wore a black hat with THREE
enormous plumes, SO that neither Her
bert nor | could see at all. and we
couldn't change our seats, and she re-
fused to take 1t off.
Finally Herbert wrote on the mar
gin Of his programme; How much
longer are We going to stand IT," And
l wrote back: IF had a pair of scls-
sors I'd cut them or"
Well, Just then the lights were
turned down in the house and on the
stage, and felt Herbert lay some
thing heavy and cold in my hand--a

Never Drink Water.

There are hundreds of horses and
thousands of cattle in the Hawaiian
islands which never take drink of wa
teT throughout the whole course OF their
lives. On all the islands the upper olti-
tudes of the mountains are given up TO
cattle ranges. Except possibly two or
three months in the rainy season there
are no streams or pools of water In any
part where the cattle roam, but every
where there grows recumtent, joint
ed grass known by the native name Of
MAMMA" This is both food and drink.

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well.

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to. be fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound accomplished such
widespread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for a quarter Of
a century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womanlind is not be-
cause it is a astimulant-not because it is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the female system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect a cure.
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, backache,
bloating (or fiatulence), weakness, dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
that &" bearing down" feeling, dizzi-
ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous
prostration or the blues, should take
immediate action to ward off the seri-
Gus consequences, and be restored to
health and strength by taking Lydia E.

HONOLULU PEOPLE
IN SAN FRANCISCO

The relationship between Honolulu
and San Francisco could not be closer
hardly if this city was a part of San
Francisco. Nearly every individual in
town has business relations in San
Francisco and those who have not as
well as those who have have relatives
or vast numbers of friends. 1t Is hard
to find a white person in the city who
is not in keen suspense pending the
getting of cable connections with the
city of the Golden Gate.
For years the people of Honolulu
have gone to San Francisco on their
vacations, they have thought of going
to that city much as the people in the
country in the states think of going
down to the city" All the people here
have at least passed through San
Francisco and they cannot realize that
the majestic skyscrappers that greeted
the eye as they slowly passed through
the gate and neared the city after
sea voyage Of six days, are a thing of
the past That where they stood is
only to be seen the charred ruins and
blackened remains of what once was
the city's pride.
Among the many, here are a few:
Captain Friele of the S. S. China has
a invalid wife who resides on the top
floor of the Palace Hotel. If the fire
was at all sudden it is quite likely that
she was not able to get out. The moth
er and aunt of E. Buffandeau, chief
clerk in the County Clerks Office, had
been attending to her needs in turn.
Mr.. Buffandeau is naturally very much
alarmed for their safety. He was not
certain whether his mother or aunt
was in the Palace at the time of the
disaster
James Dougherty with Wichman &
Co. has father and mother who also
live on the top floor of the Palace
Hotel. This was probibly the most
dangerous locality in town.
The Wichman family recently went
to San Francisco to accompany the re-
mains of Mrs. Wichman. They were
to go to Oakland but possibly may
have been in the city yesterday morn
ing. Their friends here in town are
alarmed for their safety.
Clinton J. Hutchins left on the Ala
media this morning for San Francisco
He has mother and sister there. His
wife's family also resided in that city.

| business of Mr.. Hutchns, has a sister

VIEWS
OF THE
DISASTER
WILL E. FISHER IN A COMMUNI-
CALIFORNIA WILL ASSIST.

The following communication was
received this morning from viii f..
Fisher in regard to the San Francisco
disaster:
EDITOR STAR: If the damage to
the real estate in San Francisco-in the
vicinity of the original water line is as
great as opinion believes it to be as
from reports thus far received by cable
have the strong belief that San Fran
cisco will again flourish
San Francisco is like Phoenix. it's
many deplorable happenings in the past
namely the entire burning up of the
same on two occasions, its serious
Kearny riots, political upturning, and
soforth naturally injured it for a time
but it recovered and the previous rapid
strides it's immense wealth and it's geo.
graphical position assures it a firm
hereafter.
You ask me my prophecy of the fu-
ture results; of course it is only con.
lecture. l am of the opinion the legis-
lature of California will Immediately
be called into an extra session by tho
governor, effort will be made to i'm
mediately authorize the bonding of the
state to enable the obtaining of an
amount for the construction of new
docks-for as you know the docks are
owned by the state.
l believe a commission will be APP
pointed by the state for the purpose
of adjusting and purchasing the prop
critics inundated from the various
property holders and then the re-es-
fol, f~1,f Of fff.
will be at the line of the original water
front and that Congress will very prob
ably take appropriate action to aid in
the reconstruction of the harbor. Cap
ital will not quickly build upon the
submerged sites-even in the event of
SO doing l doubt if merchants would
feel like occupying premises in doubt
The reported collapse of the new
city hail will not be a surprise to old
residents when they recall the history
appertainng to its construction. l re-
member at one time in certain sec
ton of that building experts found
walls that should have been solid ma
sonry, filled with trash from construc-
ton, evidently done long before the ad-
ditional section was started for it was
built in sections if you remember from
time to time awaiting appropriations
San Francisco's wonderful progress
is only called to a temporary halt.
Frisco cannot remain dormant, the
great productive state of California is
behind tits inland harbor second to
none in the world will assure it, It's
! wholesome generous people who each
and all have known trials, tribuiations,
and prosperity in the past will come to-
