PROFESSOR HOWISON
GOES TO SANITARIUM
Philosopher Is Taking Much Needed Rest at Health
Resort in the Country
Unnerved by the Earthquake and Fire, but His Con
dition Is Not Serious.

BERKELEY, June 11.-Frien6s OF
Professor George H. Howison, head or
the department of philosophy of the
State University, received Information
today of his retirement to a sanitarium
at ST Helena, where the distinguished
scholar hopes to completely regain his
health, which is believed to have been
impaired by the shock of the earth
quake and losses sustained by him in
the fire.
Professor Howison has found it
necessary to cancel the plans for his
trip to Yale this summer, where he
was to have delivered a series of i'm
portant lectures. Professor Bakewell,
now at the head of Yale's department
of philosophy, was until last year an
associate of Professor Howison's here
and a former pupil of the California
savant Professor Bakewell was called
to Yale last year, and soon after his
assumption of the position there ar
engagements were. made for Professor
Howison to deliver course OF lectures
on philosophic thought at New Haven
during the coming summer months
Because of this change of Professor
Hcwison's plan and the announcement
that he had found it desirable to retire
to a sanitarium, the report gained cur
rency that his retirement from the uni
versity may be expected soon. Those
who are intimately acquainted with
Professor Howison say that no such
programme is likely to be found neces-
sary. 1t is believed that rest and
change of air will restore him to his
normal vigor, and that he will be at
his post next fall, when the university
reopens.
Professor Howison is past the age
limit when members of the faculty are
ordinarily retired. but because OF his
/ 90 fnfa11Qaf a the VenSra-
ton in which he is held the regents last
year decided to make an exception In
his case and continue him in his place
at the head of the department. of
philosophy, for an indefinite period, on
full pay.

IN THE FIFTIES

w. S. Terry thought he knew the
history of coffee on this island when
he left here for the mainland a few
months ago, says the Hilo Herald, but
when he got back to his birthplace In
Massachusetts, he met people who
came here in the years before Mr..
Terry began to think Of Hawaii. who
convinced him that there was a por-
ton of the history missing.
Mrs. Braley, wife of Captain Braley
of New Bedford, was In Hawaii as far
back as 1857. There was a boom In
coffee then, but a blight had Just made
Its appearance and the people did not
know how to account for its presence
nor why the coffee was not the sue
cess II had promised, At that time
there were trees all around Hilo and
some OF the planters thought It might
be due to the fact that the trees were
planted too near the salt air. Mrs.
Braley visited Onomea during that
year and became familiar with the
conditions In Hawaii at that time, All

those days was packed and shipped

DRILLED CHINESE BOYS GET
TING BACK HOME.

OAKLAND, February 12.-The Chi
nese soldier boys whom Ralph j. Fa-
neuf, a clerk in the Oakland Postoffice,
drilled for many months last year
| under the auspices of the Chinese En-
pre Reform Association are COM
mencing to slip back to their father
land, and, according to the report cir
| culated to-day, they are returning
| under urgent call from the leaders of
| that movement at home.
Coming directly upon the sensational
| announcement that bloody times are
coming in China within the next few
| weeks. the departure of these trained
Mongolians has important signifi-
| cance Those who were closest to the
novel movement fathered by the re-
form association a year or 80 ago, de-
clare that the coincidence is acciden-
| tai and that the return of these young
| Chinese has no relationship whatso-
ever to the present disturbance in the
| Orient
From September 1904, until August
| last there met and were drilled in u
| hall on Ninth street I'm this city a
small company of two dozen young
Chinese, the unique military move
ment being fathered by the Chinese
Empire Reform Association. This or
| ganization, contrary to some of its
| counterparts in the Old country, has
always had for its ideal the peaceable
reform Of the Chinese Empire. without
the anti-foreign agitation and the un-
necessary bloodshed which has been
the feature of the Boxer and other
similar unrisings.
The military drill was taken up in
this country with the object of train
ing bright young Chinese in military
science so that they could If needed
take charge OF the training of their
own countrymen when called upon to
| do so.
! Although 1t is six months since
| Faneuf abandoned his work and al
| lowed the Chinese cadet company TO
fall to pieces, the young soldiers have
not forgotten the lessons which were
drummed into them, and stil retain
| a very fair knowledge OF the art of
war as taught them by their white in
| structor who was himself United
States soldier in the Philippines.
Within the last few weeks some OF
these cadets have been preparing to
drift quietly back to China, and al
| though domestic affairs, such as pros
| pective marriages, are given as the
| excuse In nearly every case. there has
grown a strong suspicion that there
may be more urgent business In the
air. Lee Wong, a young Chinese in
the employ Of the Hotel Touraine
packed up his effects and took boat
70 China five months ago, and now two
more, both porters In a Thirteenth
street saloon, have equally urgent busi-
ness which hurries them home. They
have given up their positions and
bought tickets for home. Another
member OF the Chinese cadet company,
a young tailor In the employ OF
Seventh-street hrm, Is scheduled TO
sail on the next boat. Ng Ming nephew
OF Ng Poon, the well-known Chinese
editor and lecturer, Is still another
young Mongollan aspirant for military
honors who expects 10 sail for the
Orient on March sth,-San Francisco
Chronicle,
