Queen Elizabeth as an Ale Drinke

Queen Elizabeth as an Ale Drinker.
There IS an amusing letter written
by the Earl Of Leicester to Lord Bur-
leigh as to the lack Of sufficiently
strong ale for the queen at Hatfield.
'There is not one drop Of good drink
for her here. We were fain to send
to London and Kenilworth and divers
other places where ale was. Her own
beer was so strong as there was no
man able to drink it." Ale and bread
were the chief items of the royal
breakfast. The quantity of ale con.
sumed by ladies at breakfast in those
days was considerable, for in the reign
Of Henry VIII. the maids Of honor
were allowed for breakfast zone Chef
loafe, one manchet, two gallons Of ale
and pitcher Of wine" A Lady Lucy
made mighty tonic of the national
brew. Her breakfast was a chine Of
beef, loaf and a gallon of ale, and
for her pillow meal a posset porridge,
generous cut Of mutton, a loaf and a
gallon Of Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

good many himself. Notwithstanding
his long public life, he always remem-

pupils, as required by law, found that
one little girl, who came from a fami-

bright, was unable to say when her
birthday came.

the teacher walked two miles to see

woman thought for some little time

Wallach can pick out cases which in
six months will show superficial signs
of healing and others which, in a SINH
lar period, will have no sign of disease,
and yet the doctor says it would take
years to prove a cure. This is good
news, for never before the advent of
Wallach had such an encouraging
statement been made public by such
a responsible party as DR.. Baldwin,
and this is another reason, why Wal
ZACH should be allowed to prove his
contentious. Today's meeting has
proved that the Board of Health, like
many other institutions, has abused
the confidence placed in it and earned
for itself by it's absurd faith
in its president, whose enthusiasm is
not tempered by knowledge. Probably
before long, when it is desirable to get
rid of anyOne's presence, the Board of
Health may sign a '1ettre de cachet''
and consign the unfortunate to the is
land where, today, Pinkham put ND
the sign, Abandon hope all We who
enter here" That Wallach should be
allowed a chance is the opinion of

A WARM WALLACHIAN.

Editor Advertiser: The existence of
the Board of Health as at present con-
stituted is an insult to the intelligence
of the Hawaiian electorate. When a
subordinate ''roasts'' a power elected
by the people, as the Star reports
Pinkham as doing, it is about time
people faced the truth and fired this
council of ten Speech was denied
Wallach, evidently plain proof that
further gagging- is added to the other
admirable qualities of this circumlecu-
ton office. Pinkham again says that
the Board of Health will not allow
anyone to treat its patients. To what
end then. having a Board of Health
so confessedly incompetent, and so
stereotyped in its officialism, that no
hope can be held out to the sufferers
on Molokai and at .Kalihi. 1t seems
evident that Wallach has given suffi-
Gent substantive proof in support of
his claims, yet this preposterous Board
of Health persists in saying that he
Is fraud. Whether Wallach is a fake
as the "mumbo-jumbo'' board saws. or
the board a cabinet of the brother
hood of Ananias can be solved only by
sending Wauach to Molokai to prac-
tise his cure. Motley says that Wal
Zach has cured cases, and Motley evil

the disease than Prince Cupid who

An effort on the part of sellers to

Buyers hesitate at these prices. but
the tone and tendency favor sellers. At
the close It is generally believed that
some $4,000 bags were sold for May

equal to 3.G7c. duty paid.
