From the injuries received and the ig-

ing.
Wishing to save the expense of q
night call from the doctor, they con.
tented themselves with applying lard
and certain Korean remedies TO the
injured child. Its face was roughly
slapped and its hands and feet were
pricked with a needle. and the whole
little body was rudely shaken and
ehafed when its life seemed to be in
danger.
The doctor was called in the next
morning and applied soothing salves

frenzy, tore the doctors remedies from
the child and refused to accept his
services until persuaded to do so by
the manager. This they did, however,
grudgingly and it is probable that as
soon as he was gone and no one was
present to see them they again applied
their remedies and corporal treatment
in their mad efforts to save the child,
of whom they seemed to be very fond,
JUDGE KEPOIKAI I'LL.
Circuit Court Judge "A. N. Kepoikai
is i'll at his home with typhoid fever.
He has been i'll over a week during
which time his temperature ranged be-
tween one hundred and one and one
hundred and six. The judge is having
a fine residence built on his premises
on Main street and that seems to be
on his mind much of the time and the
fact that he cannot be up to superin-
tend it's construction worries him. On
one occasion since he has been i'll he
left his room and went out to see the
work.
DAMAGE BY SURF.
For some days unusually heavy seas
have been running and considera BILE
damage has been done by them. On
Tuesday the lower track of the Ka-
hului Railroad Company was damaged
near lower Paia.
Water ran over the beach in front
of the residence of w. G. Scott of
Paia and left some fishing boats in
his yard some distance from the sea.
At Kahului the damage to the break
water is considerable. About one hun
dred feet Of the surface rock was
washed off the end of the breakwater
and while not moving the lower rock
it makes necessary the rebuilding Of
the breakwater where it was damaged
and proves the necessity of using re-
concrete near the end of the
breakwater which will be done soon.
On the public road to Kahului seas
washed over the newly built road in
several places and in one continuous
stretch for a distance of over a thou
sand feet, but no damage was done.
This road was built some months ago
and it was freely predicted that the
first high seas would wash it away.
and yet when we have had continuous
seas of unusual height for some days
no damage whatever was done.
PINKHAM BLAMED.
An article on the Wallach embroglio
in the Maui News concludes thus:
1--WE have always felt that President
Pinkham has been one of the most I'M
firing officials in the service of the
Territory and much credit is due him
for the able manner in which he has
conducted most of the, affairs Of the
Board of Health but the way the Wal
ZACH affair has been mismanaged has
led many to believe that he is in
measure responsible for the trouble
and whether he is responsible, or not
he has lost much prestige that he can
not hope to regain
