DOING WELL
BY KOREA
Bishop Harris Talks on Good
Work Done There by >
Japanese.

81 will make it a part of my duty
to call upon President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root while I am in Wash
ington and tell them that from my
own knowledge I am convinced that
Prince Ito and Hayashi are in earnest
in their desire to improve conditions in
Korea and are working patiently and
earnestly for the good of that coun-
| try said Bishop Harris, of Toxic. the
head of the Methodist church and its
mission work in the Orient, who was a
| passenger on the Korea on Thursday.
The Bishop made this statement in re-
latfon to the assassination of the late
d. w. Stevens. with whom he was well
acquainted, and the work of the Ko-
rean League to influence sentiment in
official circles and among the public in
America against Japan's Korean
policy.
Bishop Harris states that the general
sentiment among the mass of the Ko-
rean people is not hostile to the Japa-
nese, the people generally favoring the
system of government inaugurated.
Plenty of complaints were to be heard,
but these came from Korean officials
who had been deprived of office and
from few others, the people generally
welcoming the reduction of taxation
brought about by the change of gov
eminent and the doing away with the
blackmailing and oppression of their
own officials.
'+The occupation of the country by
the japanese seems to be the hand Of
Providence working for the good of
Korea" is the summarizing of the sit
uation in the Bishops words. who stat
ed further that the friendliness of the
Korean Crown Prince with the family
of the Mikado and the general better
acquaintance between the two peoples
was bringing about a better under
standing and lessening whatever fric-
ton there might be.
From the standpoint of his own work
the progress being made in both Japan
and Korea was wonderful. In both
countries Christianity was making
giant strides. Throughout the country

WHY THE WIDOW
WAS RELEASED
She Had Given HOSTAGE to
Fortune i'm Five
Children.

Deputy United States Marshal Har-
.ry Bruins and Deputy Collector of In
ternal Revenue Ralph Johnston, made
raid up Pacific Heights Thursday
night, and captured an okclehao outfit.
The place was that of Sun Sui, a
Chinese woman with FIVE children who
lives in a small house not far from
where the japanese tea house used to
be in the glorious days of Pacific
Heights.
The outfit is a crude affair. but there
was some of the finished product Sc
cured in bottles in a small clubhouse
near the main house. The place is a
small one and very poorly furnished.
and the woman and her five children
lived in one room.
Before Commissioner Hatch yester-
day morning she was released on her
own recognizance for a day TO enable
her to secure bondsmen. AS she has
given hostage TO fortune in the shane
of five small children, there was no
fear that she would skip out at once.

WORK Of CHINESE
INFORMATION COMMITTEE

The special committee on the work
of spreading information appointed at
the Chinese mass meeting this week
made their plans for work yesterday.
They have already sent, at the sugges-
ton of the Governor, copies of the
resolutions passed, direct to the Presi-
dent, the presiding officer of the Sen
ate, the Speaker of the House, Secre-
tary Straus, and to Commissioner Gen
eral of immigration Sargent, as well as
to the principal Eastern newspapers.
They are sending a cable account of
the friendly mass meeting to the Asso-
ciated Press.
The next mail to the Coast will take
several hundred copies of the follow
ing letter to the editors of that number
of the principal newspapers of the
United States, with enclosed informa-
ton as to the Chinese conditions in
Hawaii This is but the first move of
the campaign of friendly education for
the people of America, to make way
for a modification of the exclusion
laws after the presidential election. The
Chinese plan to keep at it until they
secure something. The Chinese pro-
verb says: "Sin tsin pat ehut, dai
tsin pat yup:' If a little money is
not put out, you cannot expect great
return to come in. They expect to
put forth effort, and some expense, to
secure the hoped-for returns more ia
vorable to Hawaii. Herewith the

Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii,
April 25, 1908.

April 70, 1SUo.
Dear Sir-One of the greatest ques-
tions before America today is, what
shall be the future relations between
the people of the United States and
the people of China2 In the near fu-
ture new treaty is to be made be-
tween America and China. Before that
is done, the intelligent, thinking peo-
pie, not of one section only, but Of the
whole country, should carefully con-
slider this question. Large interests,
present and future, are involved; and
in the cause of right and liberty, and
the future development and prosperity
of the United States this important
matter should receive careful atten-
tion.
The Chinese of Hawaii wish the
American people to understand more
clearly the real conditions found in
this Island Territory. News items and
articles of special interest will be sent
to all newspapers and magazines who
would like to publish the same.
Hawaii is becoming. not only the
most remarkable place in the Pacific,
but is fast growing to be one of the
important world centers. Here are
gathered people from all the great ma
tions. Here in Honolulu the East and
the West, the Orient and the Occident,
constantly meet in friendly intercourse.
The world comes to US, and Hawaii is
now becoming a great international
experimental station. Almost every
man of worldwide fame, and every
traveller, will in time surely touch at
these Pacific Islands The visit of the
great American feet this summer will
bring Hawaii more prominently than
ever before the American people. We
want your readers to know of the Chi
nese of Hawaii, and their needs. Here
with is an article that you may be able
to use We viii send others if you
wish.
Very truly yours, Chairman Informa-
tion Committee.

80 acres at % bushels per acre,
which sold for 80 cents per bushel;

SO that my total crop realized $1,000

Thomas Sawatzky of Herbert, Sas-

The value of my crop per acre of

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear Of it's antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, it is
now one Of the most common and pain
full ailments which afflict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes Of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency Of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
of nourishing food, of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness Is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS home
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitterS, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated. 9
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgroWth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
a MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
Dld-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before il
was offered to the public for sale. DR.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men.
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed il
for his neighbors and his patients
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrha
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED TIL
USE OF PERUNA and its value in tn
treatment of these ailments. The!
have learned to trust and believe il

Woman's Secret.

Every woman has secret that she
will not tell her neighbors. If she
is of the housekeeping kind of woman
it is a secret connected with good
bread making, or a certain way Of
testing jelly. Or maybe it is secret
whereby she can make coffee that her
neighbors despair of equaling. If she
is a vain woman, it is secret of
putting on face powder so that it does
not show, or the secret of making
some kind of lotion that will take off
sunburn. Don't say that a woman
cannot keep secret. - Atchison
