What a Boy Should Know.
Review of Reviews.

Review of Reviews.
A boy should Intimately know
the English Bible. He should
know it as literature quite aside
from is religious teaching. He
should know it from having had
it read to him from his earliest
years, and from reading and
studying it for himself. Under
this same kindly home influence,
and with the same tactful personal
introduction, every boy should
have an opportunity to know the
worlds great stories, such as
Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver'sTrav-
els, The Swiss Family Robinson,
and The Pilgrims Progress. A
mind we'll stored with poetry and
a taste cultivated to the love of
the best is treasure to a boy.
To give this seems so easy, if the
home influence and int est be-
gin early. 1t only requires a
wide-awake boy to become poss-
essed of these books. The pub
lie library is accessible to many,
whether they live in village or
city. There are also very cheap
editions of most of them viii, h
may be gotten.
The difficulty, however, is not
that boys do not have a chance
, to secure them, but that they are
100 often left like rare plants
without any attention. No one
suggests to them the real pleasure
in an occupation which leads tc
such knowledge as best fits their
growth. 1t is not strange then
that in a very important sense the
boy is left too often to grow
wild. The common sense way is
for each boy to keep his eyes
wide open and take the chance
that brings a suitable book with.
in his reach. Always he may
take up the Scripture, and it's re.
cords have for generations charm
ed not alone grown people, but
the children, too.

WHO STOLE TWO-THIRDS
OF ATCHERLEY'S MEDICINE?

Mrs. Mary Atcherley reported to the
police yesterday forenoon that the dis
pensary of Dr.. Atcherley on Emma
street had been broken into during the
previous night and a part of the medi-
cines used in the treatment of Iepers at
the Kalihi station stolen. She states
that at least two-thirds of the contents
of one of the bottles was taken. 4 She
has her suspicious, as to who made the
alleged raid, but until the police make
a thorough investigation, she does not
care to make them public.
Mrs. Atcherley sounds a warning to
the person or persons who appropriated
the medicine She says that even in
the hands of an experienced practition-
er it viii be a dangerous medicine, as
the secret of DR.. Atcherley's treatment
is in its exact application. The police

kAHUNA|SM WITH
THE JAPANESE
Authorities Urged to Put a
Stop to the Practises of
the False Priests.

The manner in which certain fakirs,
under the cloak of religion, are robbing
the credulous Japanese throughout the
Islands is something of which the au-
thorities might well take notice, says
the Hawaii Shinpo, in it's English edi-
tion yesterday. In fact, it is necessary
that they should. Conditions are get
ting intolerab}e and the kahuna menace
among the laboring classes of the Jap
anese is assuming malignant form
The Japanese press has called atten,
tion to this state of affairs on several
occasions, but as yet there have been
no steps taken by the authorities to
either check or mitigate it. The Jap
anese community can only voice itself
through its press. Without citizenship,
the Japanese have no representation
among governing officials and can only
appeal to the authorities through peti-
tion or the press.
In this matter the press is a unit and
speaks with one voice against the Jap
anese false priesthood. Now, among
the Japanese, the press is a power for
good, but if its united voice is to be
totally disregarded in this matter of
calling for protection, its influence will
wane Already the fakirs are gliding
the newspapers because of their impo.
tence.
Scattered throughout the Islands are
persons styling themselves priests, un-
scrupulous men who have been driven
out of Japan for the very things they
are doing here with impunity. Through
sleight of hand tricks, incantations and
necromancy they have impressed their
power upon the ignorant japanese.
Their practise is kahunaism pure and
ssi1iaple. They preach doctrine of faith
cure, advising their followers to forsake
physicians In cases of sickness and
place reliance on the "holy waters"
and paper prayers of themselves, which
they sell at exorbitant prices. They
go further than this and blackmaii
those who will not contribute to them,
threatening to bring sickness, accidents
and misfortune unless bribed to keep
back the evil spirits they claim to con-
troll.
They profess to have the gift of
second sight and deal in love potions,
charms and other devices of chicanery.
To such an extent have they impressed

are asked by Mrs. Atcherley to get out
on still hunt for medicine which will
agree with the one-third she says is
left to her husband
Just when the doctor has begun his
treatment of the leprous patients at Ka-
iihi, under special privilege from the
Board Of Health to test his medicines,
it seems as if Fate was playing pranks
and putting burglarfous ideas into some
body's head to interfere with its use.
At least, that is Mrs. Atcherley's way
of looking at the matter. Although
Mrs. Atcherley says she thinks she
knows who the raider is, yet Chief Of
Detectives Kalakiela viii be given an
opportunity to knit his massive brows
for a few days and solve the problem
by Sherlock Holmes methods. In the

KNOCKED DOWN
BY AN AUTO
Soldier Cr0xan Becomes Con-
fused in Front of Refs
Car.

Confused by the approach of an au
tomobile and the presence of street
car, and uncertain which way to turn
E. L. Croxan, soldier of G company
goth u s. Infantry, Fort Shafter, was
knocked down and badly hurt by auto
mobile 215 last night at clock neal
the corner of King and Maunakea
streets. The Young man was taken to
the Queen s Hospital in the police pa
troll wagon and his injuries were found
to be serious but probably not sufi.
cient to have fatal results.
Examination of his wounds by the
hospital surgeon revealed broken jaw
the left ear lacerated and half torn
off, bruises on both cheeks and fore
head, both hands badly lacerated and
a severe wound on the right chest
When picked up Croxan was almost un
conscious, but on reaching the hospital
he recovered himself and, displaying
considerable nerve, asked for data con
eerning his condition.
According to Croxan, who made a
short statement at the hospital while
lying on the operating table, he was
on the left side of the junction of the
streets and was just in the act of walk
ing across from one side to the other.
There was street ear on the switch,
he said. When almost to the car track
he heard an automobile horn. He jump
ed and became confused, not knowing
just where the auto was. AS he turned
about he noticed an automobile COM
ing from Eva direction but moving
clowly. It was on the left hand side
of the street. He was struck at this
instant. He did not know what hap
the machine. s
FI was confused - said the injured
man, "and didn It know just what to
do"
The statements of Manuel Refs, driv.
er of the machine and of Messrs
Singlehurst and Cooke, of Davies &
Co., passengers in the machine, corrob,
crate Croxan to the extent that the
machine was proceeding slowly along
Ming street. They saw man step into
the street Immediately ahead of the
auto. The horn was sounded and the
brake applied, but the man stepped
back directly in the path of the ma
chine and was struck. The machine
was stopped in less than ten feet from
where the man was knocked down.

hams, post surgeon, responded and ex-

SETTLEMENT BEST
MANAGED OF ALL
SUCH IN WORLD
London Visitor Praises HaWaii's Treatment of
AffIicted---More Complete Than
indian Segregation.

f'Nowhere that L know of in the
world is there a leper settlement ar
ranged so well and the inmates cared
for so Systematically and with such a
regard for their material comfort and
welfare as that on Molokai," said DR..
John Jackson, F. R. G. s., London, who
has been in Hawaii for some weeks
and who returned yesterday morning
from three-day visit to the Settle
ment.
DR.. Jackson is connected with the
work of leper segregation in India, in
which country there are half million
persons afflicted with the disease, and
on the work in the Orient the Doctor
gave an address in Central Union
church last night. He is now on his
way around the world, leaving today
for Japan, and on his travels he will
visit the segregation camps in that
country and elsewhere in order to study
segregation methods.
''I talked with the physicians here
an regard to the efficacy of the Nastine
treatment" DR.. Jackson said, in refer
ence to the world IS search for a cure
for the disease, "and learn that the
good results obtained are very much as
the results we had been able to secure
with different treatment in India. The
condition of the patients are very much
improved with the treatment, but the
baciIli remains in the system.
"Owing to the fact that the Indian
governments are kept poor through re-
curing famines and outbreaks of plague,
we have not been able there to carry
out our wishes in regard to the treat
ment of leprosy on proper scale. The
segregation camps with which am con-
nected are maintained through contri
buttons of philanthropists. We do what
we can but the work is difficult and
we have a strong native sentiment to
oppose, just as you have here. One con.
dition we are able to put into effect
and which we insist upon is the strict
segregation of the sexes, while healthy
children are always taken away from
their mothers as soon as possible and
taken care of in our homes for chill
dTen. With them we have much the
same happy experience as you do here,
very few of the children ever have
to be taken back to the segregation
camps. I think it is fully demonstrated
now that leprosy is not hereditary but
contagious. The few cases of leprosy
among the children born of leprous pa
rents we regard as the development of
latent eontagion.
"Before leaving for Japan tomorrow,
in the course of my world-tour, hope |
I may be permitted through the Adver
tiser to testify to the interest and en-
iOyment of my all too brief stay of a
fortnight in the Islands Also I would |
like to express my appreciation of the
courtesy I have met with on all hands; I
from Governor Frear, the president and
of the Board of Health, and
all with whom I have been brought
INTO contact.
"In a never-to-beforgotten visit to
it was my good fortune to be
associated with a party of the doctors
and medieal-of Honolulu, who
welcomed the Britisher to all the priv
leges of their picnic.

THE NEW BONDS.

Among the bond acceptances today
was 81, 100 from a gentleman now living
in Baltimore, and at one time at Harp
er's Ferry, West Va. These bonds were
in 1879 registered in the name OF the
present owner. When sending out the
circular letter one was addressed to the
owner, at Harper's Ferry. Writing
from his residence in Baltimore, he says;
u enclose my acceptance Of the pro-
posed plan for exchange of bonds. |
regret my delay in this matter. II was
due to my absence from the country.
Kindly advise me whether the old bonds
should be sent in."
The original owner of the 81, 100 was
among the few persons who offered to,
and did, fund his 1872 bonds In 1878
for bond which represented fifty per
cent. of it3 face, and six per cent. in
terest 1t will be remembered that this
plan OF scaling the principal failed to
recommend itself, and in 1879 all OF the
bonds issued in 1878 were called in, and
the creditors placed on the same footing.
