WHAT is HAWAII
Judge Dole to Decide important Case
Involving Status of Islands.

Honolulu, H. l.. Sept els Ha-
wall a territory of the United States,
as Arizona and New Mexico, or is it
an insular possession, as Porto Rico
and the Philippine islands? This IS
the question that Judge Dole of the
United States district court has been
called upon to decide and attorneys all
over the islands are awaiting the an
swer to the question, asst will effect
the status of nearly every legal prob
lem that has come up for solution
since the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands.
The issue was raised in the case OF
Manuel Perez and Augusta Walsh,
indicted under the Edmunds act. A
plea of former acquittal was filed by
the attorneys for the defense, it being
alleged that the defendants were
prosecuted for the same offense and
acquitted in the district court last
April. -.
The point of law raised by this plea
is whether there are two sovereignties
or one in Hawaii. If there are two
as in state or territory OF the United
States. a former acquittal in the courts
of one jurisdiction is not defense IN
a court of another jurisdiction. But II
Hawaii is not a full territory and there
is only one sovereignty, an acquittal
in anv court is a bar to further prose
cution on the same charge.

KASPARILLA

Ills sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for a world of
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t IS a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

IGNORANCE OF SANITATION.
Lower Glasses in Russia Refuse tc
Be Vaccinated.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-since the
beginning of the epidemic there have
been 1868 cases of Asiatic cholera re-
ported in Russia and 7,lO2 deaths. In
st. Petersburg alone, since the presence
Of the disease was officially admitted
September 8, there have been 4,o3l cases
and 1871 deaths reported.
The figures with reference to the in
vasion Of this city by the disease can
not be relied upon as on a number of
occasions authoritative sources showed
the number of cases and deaths in a
single day to be far in excess of that
announced by the authorities There is
an appreciable betterment of the sani

in the disease as shown by the figures
given out Sunday.
For the "a hours ending at noon the
number of new cases in the city wai

A fire which destroyed the village

rapidly that the firefighters had to
flee for their lives. 1t is reported that
during the fire four tons of dynamite,
which had been sent in for use upon
the railroad and in fighting the fire,
exploded, causing great destruction in
the immediate vicinity and badly

Manila, Sept. 29-There were IA new
eases of cholera and three deaths re-
ported for the "a hours ending at S

the entire stats of the bureau of sci

been drafted into the service to fight
the disease. The two senior classes OF

A serious situation is caused by the
supply of disinfeetants running very

Enormous quantities of disinfectant'
have been used in vigorous efforts t.

VENOM OF THE MOSQUITO.
Agency In Spreading Disease Was
Discovered Many Years Ago

Uncovered Many Years Ago
At the time of the discovery OF the
mosquitoes agency In breeding disease
1t was not dreamed that far more than
the germ OF the truth had been reveal
ed many years before, says the New
York Sun. The truth was told In 1853
In the obscure columns Of the Faceta
Office, published at the port OF Oamana,
Venezuela, and little later In a brief
note or two that the discoverer wrote
to the Academy of Sciences In Paris.
1t was buried In those pages and for
gotten, and has now been resurrected
by the Havana Cronica Medico and the
British Medical Journal.
In May, 1853, Louis Daniel Beauper-
thuy, a native Of Guadalupe and
health officer at Camana, wrote to the
Gaceta Official that for fourteen years
he had made a microscopic study OF the
blood and secretions In every type of
| fever and had discovered that yellow
fever resulted from the stings Of sew
eral species of mosquitoes. The mos
quito plunges its proboscis Into the skin
and introduces a poison which has
properties akin to that Of snake venom.
1t softens the red blood corpuscles,
causes their rupture, and facilitates the
mixing of the coloring matter with the
serum"
Beauperthuy said a good word for
the much-maligned swamp, whose repu-
tation as a breeder OF malaria and 9th
er fevers was widespread. Marshes
do not communicate to the air any
thing more than humidity, and the
small amount OF hydrogen they give
of does not cause In man the slight
est indisposition in equatorial and In
tertropical regions renowned for their
unhealthfulness. Nor is 1t the putres-
cence of the water that makes 1t un-
healthy, but the presence Of mosqui'
toes"
In one of his short communications
to the Paris Academy OF Sciences, dat
, ed from Camana, June 1s. 1855, he
wrote that as early as 1889 his inves
legations In unhealthy locations II
South America had convinced him thai
the so-called marsh fevers were due t
a vegeto-animal virus "inoculated int
man by mosquitoes"
Beauperthuy's facts and deductions
we're so remote from all the medica
teachings Of the day that they wer'
doubtless laughed at and promptly for
gotten. Probably the priority of hi
discovery will now be acknowledged
but it might have been profoun'
$ blessing to the world IL scientific re
\ search had been able In the middle o
the last century to proceed along tn
lines suggested by Beauperthuy's an

cannot smoke with a 'bullseye' in his
mouth, and even for some time after It
Is dissolved tobacco will not blend kind

ly the cure may seem worse than the

view the sucking Of peppermints is far
less hurtful. A common 'bullseye' will
prevent smoking for nearly an hour.

Do you washl 1t Is a well-known
medical fact that scrubbing the face
and hands with chemical detergents Is
absolutely ruinous to the delicate outer
fabric of the skin. You would not pour
a can Of petrol on the side Of an aero
plane to make it go, would you? Why,
then, attempt to open the pores Of the
cuticle and keep them working by the
external application OF saponaceous
tablets and other inferior frauds Of
the kind? Beware Of these as you
would of a poison.
Water is equally dangerous. Why Is
1t that you meet SO many people ev-
cry day in the street with gray smut
stained faces and toil-begrimed hands
Simply because they abrade and de-
stroy the elegant envelope with which
nature has provided their bodies, In
stead of treating 1t nationally from
within. The only way to be clean is
to swallow soapoids, with their wonder
full internal operation on the fbers and
nerve tissues. However dusty or grit
ty you may be, one does Of soapoids
will set you right. The pores will
spring open and shed off the unnatural
accretion of foreign substances as 3
snake sloughs its skin.
Think, too, of the time and money
you will save. No more tedious ablu-
lions and ruinous water rates. You
can swallow your soapoid as you walk
to the office and be as bright as a new
pin.
Our final word is if you have beer
washing. stop it; II you have not. don't
begin. Spare your epirdermis, and
swallow soapoids. Try natures way
and be clean.-Punch

held western Pennsylvania, eastern
Ohio and West Virginia for two months
remains unbroken. While in the Pitts

Havana, Cuba, Sept. 29.-That the
Liberal party win lose the entire negro
vote in the coming election seems as
sured. as the result of an attack made
on a mass meeting of negroes by mob
of Liberals. The fact that the negro
element proposed to form a national
party angered the Liberals, as they saw
that such party would draw more from
their ranks than from the Conserva
tives. General Estenoz, leader of the
negroes, has announced that his party
is a certainty, as his followers cannot
hope to secure their rights without 9
