HOW DR WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
 LURE RHEUMATISM.
STATEMENT FROM ONE WHO WAS CURED OF PARTICULARLY PAIN- =
 FUL FORM OF THIS DISEASE.

In the many forms which rheuma- tism takes, that which is popularly known as sciatic rheumatism probably tortures it's victim more than any other. That Dr Williams Pink Pills have cured this stubborn as we'll as painful trouble is fact proven by the following statement, and no sufferer who reads this can afford to let preju- dice stand in the way of trying these blood making pills.
 Rheumatism is now generally recog- nized as disease of the blood. Dr Williams Pink Pills make-actually make pure blood. When the blood is pure there can be no rheumatism. There is no 'cure-all' claim about this. The action of the remedy is direct and powerful. pr Williams Pink Pills have cured more cases of rheumatism than of any disease except an4mia.
 Mrs Thomas Bresnehan, of 54 Mill street, Watertown, N. Y., says:
 My trouble began with severe cold which took about week before Christmas in 1904. I began to have rheumatic pains in my back and limbs and after time I couldn't straighten 1p. I suffered the most awful pain for months and much of the time was un- able to leave the house and had to take hold of chair in order to walk and sometimes l could not stand up at all. My husband had to help me up and down stairs. The pain was great est down my left limb, along the sciatic nerve.
 "The disease was pronounced sciatic rheumatism and, although l had a good physician and took his medicine faithfully, did not get any better. After some six weeks of this terrible pain and suffering tried Dr Williams Pink Pills and that is the medicine that cured me. After few boxes the pain was less intense and l could see decided improvement. l continued to take the pills until I was entirely cured and have never had any return of the trouble"
 5000 REWARD-The Dr Williams Medicine Go. has authorized the cashier of the Union National Bank of Schenectady, N. Y., to pay the sum of $5, ,OOO upon proof of fraud on the part of the company in the publication of foregoing testimonial, or any others used in making known the merits of Dr Williams Pink Pills.

MRS EDWARD JENNINGS.
 On Wednesday, May 2, Mrs Layenia Jennings, the wife of Edward Jennings, into rest, but five days after their golden wedding; Mrs Jennings was rare woman. Ill health had been her portion for many years and for many weeks at a time she was not able to step outdoors; yet in spite of all, she maintained a seren- ity of spirit which was remarkable; Always helpful, delighting in the lit- tie kindnesses which make life happy. always allied with that which was for the good of the community life, think ing not of self, but of the welfare of others. As one who had the best op- portunity of knowing her said "She was the best Christian" and that is the voice of all who knew her, and when we say this we find the source of all her goodness. For her religion was to her not creed or dogma, but some. thing intensely real, governing every thought and action of her life. Her Bible she knew thoroughly; 1t was an uplift to hear her in prayer. She was one of those of whom 1t can be truly said "She had been with Jesus and had learned of Him." A beautiful, consecrated life has gone from us, one we feel could i'll be spared, and while the loss is, of course, greatest to the family, for whom we have deep sym. pathy, it is also great loss to the community. For her "lt was not death to die, "but to enter into more perfect life with the Savior she loved, and her memory is a fragrant one, which, doubtless, will influence many for good,

HE ACCEPTS A NAME SUGGESTED
BY THE CEREMONIAL
OPENING WITHIN THE WEEK.

Rev. Frank Fitz has decided to name
his school Aliiolani. This is one of the
names of Kamehameha V, as Iolani
was of Kamehameha w, The Queen
suggested the name and authorized
it's use, for according to Hawaiian Gus
tom, the names or designations Of
royalty may not be used by others or
for other purposes without authorize
tion by competent authority.
Mr. Fitz plans to have a ceremonial
opening of his school either next Satur-
day of the following Monday. At this
the queen will be present and may
make a brief address. The real open
ing of the school for pupils will be a
week or two later,
Mr.. Fitz plans to have a ceremonial
rollment of twenty or thirty pupils in
the boarding department, and a con-
siderable number in the day school, as
there is no public school withinn two
or three miles of his school, and there
is large population which must send
children from two to FIVE miles to
school.

According to reports brought to the
city this morning, water is beginning
to make it's way into the fire room of
the wrecked steamer Manchuria. The
water had not, according to the re-
port, made its appearance to any
depth, but the news is significant from
the fact that it shows that the main
bottom of the vessel on which the en-
gines, boilers and cargo rest, is show
ing signs of straining under the tre-
mendous pounding that the boat has
received since she went on the ground
While the report that the water is
appearing in the fire room sounds Sc
rious, nevertheless it is not necessarily
indicative of so grave a condition as
would at first seem apparent. The
lower bottom of the vessel has been
filled with water. 1t is possible that
this water is gradually working
through the upper bottom through
some opening of the seams in the deck
into the fire room, while the lower bot
tom may still be intact.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-08-27

H. Hackfeld & Company do not
credit the news of the water in the
fire room. An official report yesterday
from Captain Saunders stated that no
water had appeared in the fire or en-
gine rooms. This morning at o'clock
a report from Captain Saunders stat
ed that there had been no change in
conditions in that part of his vessel.
This report would tend to discredit the
report of the leak. On the other hand
the report comes from a source whose
reliability is Inquestioned.
If the water continues in any guam
tity to get into the fire room, it would
mean that the fires of the vessel would
be exinguished and she would be un-
able either to pump the water out Of
her tanks and tighten herself when the
grand attempt to pull her off is made.
and Furthermore, that she would have
no power in her engine room for oper-
atng her starboard engine.

officials connected with the dredger
Pacific are of the opinion that she can
1redge under the wrecked steamer
Manchuria, on the lee side. 1t is
thought that she could be used to
dredge on the shore side and gradually
work out from the stern Of the Man
churia The bottom about the vessel
is very soft according to general in
dications and the Pacific could, it is
thought work out the bottom about her
so as to float the big vessel. Nothing
in this respect will be attempted how
ever until the arrival of Captain Met
calf
1t is possible that the U. s. S. Iroquois
may participate in the work of trying
to save the Manchuria. She is ex-
pected to leave Midway for Honolulu
tomorrow She should arrive here
within five days. She would therefore
be available. Admiral Very the naval
commandant, stated this morning that
he would allow her to be used in con-
nection with the salving of the Man
churia.

churia has been to drift further in

attorneys have made appearance for
various interested parties, in "esponse

was a new element in the contract. AS
rock, filling woll cost nine or ten times
more than the dirt filling, Whitehouse

prevailed for the last forty eight hours
at Waimanalo. The vessel is still
humping considerably astern. Fears
are now entertained that her starboard
propeller may have been put out of
commission. The bow of the boat is
especially noticed to have moved in
shore but her stern is not, it is claim
ed, doing so. She is still moving on
pivot midships
Considerable interest has been taken
in the probable official inquiry into the
cause of the wreck. 1t was thought
possible that the inquiry might be
called at Honolulu, but the indications
seem to be that it will occur in San
Francisco. If the Manchuria Is saved
she will have to go to San Francisco
for repairs and if she is abandoned,
the officers will go to San Francisco
and the investigation could be held
there just as we'll as in Honolulu. On
the other hand there are people in Ho-
nolulu whose testimony regarding the
first efforts to save the ship after she
got ashore might be of value.
1t is thought by some that the boat
will be able to go to San Francisco un-
der her own steam, provided, of course.
