members, there was no discussion of the
matter.
Work for the relief Of tuberculosis
victims has been going on in a desul-
tory sort of way for some time without
any attempt at cooperation on the part
of the societies that essayed to relieve
the evil. Among those organizations
who will be requested to consider the
organization of a central committee are
the Territorial Board of Health, Medi-
cal Association of Hawaii, Red Cross
Society, College Club, Men s Club of
st. Andrew s Parish, Men S Club of the
Central Union Church, Palama Settle
ment, Leah Home and others. The
function of the committee when organ
lied will be advisory.
The motion that was presented to
turn over all the present available
funds to the outdoor tuberculosis set
tlement was amended to read ga part, "
as it was not considered advisable to
give all the funds in case other and
unexpected need was found for them
in the future.
Judge Dole, president of the local
department of the society, seemed to
be unsatisfed with its work or the in
terest displayed in it by the members.
He stated that at the next annual meet
ing, which viii take place the first
Tuesday in November, a more eompre-
hensive organization viii be effected and
committees appointed, and also that he
desired to see the society do more in
the future than they have been doing.
At the opening of the meeting, the
society voted its approval of the ap-
preparation made by the executive com
mittee for the relief of the Kona
| typhoid epidemic.

without changing the position of his

neighbor and the neighbor brings his
raised arm down in the attempt to
strike the humming- pee" man. Thus
the game goes on, now to one side and
now to the other. Some of the men are
expert humming bees, " and maintain
their central position almost indefinite

by a neighbor, he falls out and one of
the neighbors takes up the central po-
sition. and thus the whole crowd takes

Strenuous Leap Frog.

Then there is the leap-frog game
Five big, husky Russians line up. each
one elasping the waist of the man be-
fore him and heads bent low beside the
shoulders of the man in front. A sixth
man, generally very strong one, takes
position at the other end Of the line,
facing the front man. He locks arms
with this one and acts as an anchor.
Then a crowd of men take stations and
one runs and leaps over the backs,
heads and shoulders of the group, en-
deavoring to drop astride of the head
and shoulders of the first man or of
the anchor man himself If he sits sue
cessfully, another takes a running jump,
and so on. When one takes into con-
sideration the fact that each one of
the runners weighs about rs pounds
ana that when he drops his bulk, trip
hammerlike, on a man s shoulders, he
is dropping some. If the anchor man
gives way during this process, he is
doomed to take a place in the line of
five and receive the runners. These big
men enter into this game with the
spirit of young boys.

Peculiar Fun-Making

Another game is a funny one. A
man sits ON a bench with his back
against a building, holding coat or
handkerchief in his lap. A man steps
forward and leans over, burying his
face in the coat or handkerchief so
that he can not see. He places one
hand, palm outward, on his back about
the waist line. Others stand in a
semicircle behind, generally with fold
ed arms. A man steps forward and
with considerable strength strikes the
open palm with his own, sometimes
almost topping the other man over.
He steps back quickly into the semi
circle. The man who was struck i'm
mediately turns around, and, scanning
the faces of those in the circle, points
to the one he thinks struck him. The
| men in the circle smile, and sometimes
| assume attitudes as if they are just
recovering their positions in the line,
| in order to deceive the one who was
struck. If he fails to designate the
| right one. he leans over and receives
| another blow, and so on until he picks
| the right man, who then buries his
face in the coat. They derive a lot
| of fun out of this game, and although
| their palms are struck with tremen-
| dous force and become red, they do
not seem to feel any pain. 1t is all
| game, and they like it.

Sheba s Wounds.

The next witness was DR.. Y. E. Col

wounds, as described by him, consisted
of one on the top of the head of about
one and half inches in length and cut
to the skull; one ON the left side of the
neck, very close to the principal blood
vessels of the neck, the jugular vein
and caratoid artery; two wounds on the
left arm, cut to, but not severing, the
muscles, and one small cut on finger
of the left hand. These last We're not

Out in the yard, Mr.. Brown collected
a group of immigrants about him and
through Colonel johnson asked some
very direct questions and received di-
rect replies. He asked whether they
knew the names of any of the planta-
tions. They did not, and their coun-
tenances clearly showed that they
were telling the truth. He asked if
they knew what wages, if any, they
were to receive here They replied they
did not. He asked if any knew of any
places they were to go to to work.
They said they did not, they We're

Reports Say Mine is Badly
Damaged-Rescuing Party
Cannot Reach Bottom
of Shaft.

CHRISTOPHER, ILL.,, Feb. o.
Four were entombed and without
doubt killed, in terrible explosion in
the No. mine of the Deering Coal
Company at West Frankfort last week.
The four men, George Oliver, Charles
Armatoes, Orval Jones, Charles Nc
Creary, were shot firers and were all
that were known to be in the mine at
the time of the explosion, although
telephone messages from West Frank
fort say that others may have been in
the mine.
The explosion was very terrific and
is supposed to have been gas explos-
ion. The cage was blown clear out OF
the main shaft and the shaft badly
wrecked. The rescuing party tried tc
go down the air shaft soon after the
explosion and got within sixty feet of
the bottom and found that the bottom
of the ladder had been wrecked so that
it was impossible to enter the mine.
The reports say that they could moi
have gone much farther anyway, ow
ing to the poisonous gas which was
coming from the mine. Reports say
that the damage to the mine will reacl
several thousand dollars.
