IMPERFECT COPIES FOR
THE HAWAIIAN TRADE

| Editor Advertiser.-I would like to
call attention to a matter that nap
mems a little too often to be considered
- mere coincidence. This is the num-
her of imperfect books and magazines
sent here by Eastern dealers. L nave
had several copies of Mcclure s Maya
zine with as many as ten pages missing
and others duplicated. The same thing
has happened with other magazines. In
a copy of "The Shuttle, - published by
Macmillan. the entire third chapter was
gone These defective copies seem to
be disposed of on the Coast as WELL
and l saw at a book dealers IN
Western town in lot of copies OF
Caroline Browns "On the Wea Trail
forty out of seventyfve which were
so defective as to be worthless.
One wonders if the publishers think
the Pacific Coast and the Island mar
kets are so far away that people Will
not bother to return the imperfect
books. which they might do were they
nearer the source of supply. Or IS 1t
the result of the greedy competition OF
the times, when men and machinery
are hurried to the utmost limit OF thelr
strength, and care can not be taken to
furnish customers with good, honest
value for their money? Were these
damaged editions of books and maya
zines sold at a reduced rate no fault
would be found, if the customers were
satisfied with their bargains. But TO
charge for them the same pllee as IS
asked for a complete book or magazine
certainly can not be called fair deal |

4 FUTURE FOR
THE PAPAYA
Experimenting With Fruit to
Secure a New
Medicine.

/ Isolating the alkaloid, or active prin,
ciple of the papaya, one of Hawaii s
luscious fruits, and reducing it to a
liquid form for use as a digestive aid,
has been the endeavOr for the past
few weeks of F. C. Waterbury, presi
dent of the Waterbury Chemical Com
pany of Des Moines, Ia, who has
been in Honolulu for some time, acting
in conjunction with Contract Surgeon
F. NJ. McCallum, U. S. A, at Fort Shat
ter.
Experiments and Investigations will
continue for nearly year until the
doctors are assured that the papaya
has just the qualities hoped for, when
the product will be given a trial in
Eastern hospitals by eminent phys
icians who have assisted in similar ex-
periments for Mr.. Waterbury. Among
these is DR.. Hare of Philadelphia, one
of the best known authorities on medi
cines, who will shortly pass through
Honolulu from the Orient, en- route
home.
Before leaving on the steamship Ma
nuka yesterday for the Colonies, Mr..
Waterbury, referring to the expert
ments being made, said:
"Acting with DIR. McCaIIum of Fort
Shafter we have isolated the crystal,
or alkaloid, or active principle of the
papaya, which is obtained from the
fruit, leaf or plant in general. In any
event the best digestive strength is
to be had from the green fruit. The
ripe fruit contains the same digestive
properties only in less strength. The
crystals as we have isolated them are
highly acidulated.
"'The experiments have proven that
the digestive properties in test No. l
act similarly to the gastric secretions
of the calves stomachs, known chem,
ically as rennet, tests being made
where the properties of the papaya will
completely cOagulate many times its
weight in pure milk under ninety de
grees of heat. The isolated crystals
act upon cream (fats) very similar to
the digestive secretions. Tests made
with boiled egg (albumen) produced
practically the same results as the gas
trio secretions, or rather pepsin by the
addition of hydrochlorle acid -
Mr. Waterbury believes there will be
a splendid future for the development
of the papaya in the Hawaiian Islands.
Laboratory experiments, as well as hos
pital experiments, will be continued I'M
til the tests are sufficient to place the
properties in the hands of eminent
for experiment.
While here Mr.. Waterbury secured
contracts to furnish the Settlement
with cod liver oil.

ing this time. AT present he is the
Territory s man behind the water taps
on the wharves, it being his duty to
fill the tanks of steamers and sailing
vessels, and see that the Territory gets
paid for it.
A short time ago he applied for leave
of absence. The Superintendent of
Public Works did not see his way clear
to give any vacations just now owing
to the low water conditions. The Cap
tain, like a good old Grand Army vet
eran, accepted the ultimatum. But the
Superintendent happened to ask how
long since the Captain had had vaca-
ton. FTwenty- years, answered.
La Pierre. The Superintendent gasped.
He then reversed himself and said that
if the Captain did not take vacation
now he might get fred.
Captain La Pierre Is an Odd Fellow
but not a Rebekah For some reason
cold Cap is not suffragist sympa-
thizer, and has resisted all efforts to
get him into the feminine orders. The
ladies want him in because of his ami
able ways For that reason it is said
the Rebekahs viii board the Korea en-
masse this afternoon and load down
cold Cap with leis until he can It
walk.
If anybody has an old carpet bag
of the vintage of '65 Captain La Pierre
would like to get it, He left San Fran
cisco with a carpet bag and means to
go back carrying one.

sketeh Of senator AlIIson,s LIfe.

Sketch OF Senator Allison's Life.
Senator Allison was born at Perry.
o.. March 2. 1929, the son of John
and Mary Allison. His boyhood days
be spent on the farm which was his
birthplace. Reaching young manhood.
he secured his education in Allegheny
college, in Pennsylvania. and the West
ern Reserve college. Of Ohio. in both OF
which schools he distinguished him
self at winning high honors in all the
branches which he studied.
Senator Allison was admitted TO the
bar in 1850. He was married to Miss
Anna Carter. OF Wooster, o., at Ash
land. o., in February, 1854 From 1850
until 1857 he practiced law in Ohio. In
1857 he removed to Dubuque, where he
took up the practice OF law.
Senator Allison was a delegate to
the national Republican convention in
Chicago in 1860. He was a member of
the governors staff during the Civil
War. and raised troops to fight for the
integrity OF the nation in 1861. In
1853 he was elected to congress and
served continuously until 1871. In
1873 he was elected United States SEN
ator from Iowa and represented his
state in this capacity until the time OF
his death.
In 1881 he was offered the position
OF secretary I Of the treasury of the
United States by President Garfield
but declined to accept the office. In
1889 he again refused this Office when
offered him by President Harrison. For
the third time be refused the office
when it was offered him by President
Mckinley in 1897.
His aid in the nomination OF Abra.
ham Lincoln as Republican candidate
for president in 1860 was perhaps SEN
etor Allison's first great service for
his country AS an Iowa delegate to
the Republican convention In Chicago
In that year he joined the other party
leaders who had determined upon the
nomination OF Lincoln, and by their
united efforts their objects were at
tained.
On the ways and means committee
OF the national house he began the
career which made him one of the best
authorities in the country upon the
revenues and expenditures Of the gov
eminent. For more than forty years he
has been assigned by the Judgment OF
his colleagues in the house and SEN
ate to the responsible task OF planning
the revenues and supervising the ex-
penditures. and no man who ever had
part In this work had the confidence
OF both houses more completely.
To Senator Allison more especially
than to any other man who ever oc-
cupied seat in that body belongs the
title Of Father of the Senate" He
was not only one OF the Oldest men In
that body bat he held the record be-
yond all others for length OF service
there. Senator Allison was. at the time
OF his death, and had been for a third
