IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body Mass Of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturing Humor- Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by cutieura.

Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
1t covered my whole body. /
was almost solid mass of sores from
head to foot. I looked more like q
piece OF raw beef than a human be-
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen I
was afraid they would break of.
Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but I got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. I did not think
I could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
I'm this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. said I would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief 1 experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and I knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.
I wish could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM.

CHAPTER xl.-Continued.
In the cab, Maitland, turning to
watch through the rear peep-hole, was
thrown violently against the side as
the hanson rocked on one wheel into
his street. Recovering, he seized the
dashboard and gathered himself to-
gether, ready to spring the instant the
vehicle paused in it's headlong career
Through the cabby's misunderstood
ing of the address, in all likelihood,
the horse was refined in on its
launches some three houses distant
from the apartment building. Matt
land found himself sprawling on his
hands and knees on the sidewalk,
picked himself up, shouting: You'll
waltz" to the driver, and sprinted
madly the few yards separating him
from his own front door, keys ready in
hand.
simultaneously the half-winded DO
liceman numbered around the Fifth
avenue corner. and a man, detaching
himself from the shadows of a neigh
boring doorway, began to trot loutish-
ly across the street, evidently with
the intention of intercepting Maitland
at the door.
He was hardly quick enough Matt
land did not even see him. The door
slammed in the mans face, and he,
painting harshly, raped out an inn

TRENT
FOR TEST
CHARLIE COSTER, STABLEMAN.
WILL MANDAMUS CITY TREAS
URER TOMORROW.

Charlie Coster will celebrate Tag
day, tomorrow, by tagging City and
County Treasurer Trent.
Coster is foreman of the Fourth Dis
trict stables, under City and County
government, having been appointed
to his position by the roads commit
tee of the Board of Supervisors, or
the majority thereof which is some
times referred &c as the Solid Six.
Coster has faithfully performed his
duties and wants his money. So do
three or four hundred other men OF
the road department want their money
but Trent refused, it will be remember
ed, to cash warrants for the pay of road
men on the ground that their en-
ployment and wages were in dispute.
So, and this is the naturalization of
the much talked of test cast. Coster
has been made piafntiff or prosecutor
and his name appears on papers which
will tomorrow morning be filed in the
Supreme Court, and Treasurer Trent
will be tagged with an alternative writ,
requiring that he deliver the cash as
called for by Auditor Bicknells war
rant, or that he go into court to show
cause why he refuses to hand over
the money
Trent, that the test may be fulfilled,
will go into court.
The papers were to have been filed
today, but it was only this morning
that Mayor Fern put his certificate to
certain ordinances and a resolution
and these documents we're necessary to
the preparation of the case.

PLANS OF
PARADE
L. PETRIE TO BE MARSHAL-MAUI
PRINCESS NOT CONFIRMED AS
YET.

Since he may have to leave the
islands on important business, Harry
Won Holt will not be marshal of the
great Floral Parade on Washington's
Birthday.
l.. Petrie, who has had former ex-
perience, and who was appointed de-
putty marshal for this years celebration
has been therefore advanced to the
position Of marshal.
This afternoon T. H. Petrie and Jack
Dowsett will take a trip to Punahou
to glance again over the grounds of
the college to see whether or not there
is room there for the review OF the
procession. 1t is believed that there
is not sufficient maneuvering space for
the cavalry and all the rest of the pa
rade. After Punahou, Kapiolani park
will be visited and matter OF the
grounds for the wind-up will be tho
roughly considered.
The matter of the Maui Princess is
not quite settled. Yesterday The Star
announced that Miss Cummings, who
is attending school at the Priory,
would be the belle for Maui. 1t ap-
pears, however that last year the
young lady's mother would not grant
permission for her to take part. Bishop
Restarick under whose jurisdiction the
affairs of the Priory come is willing
to allow Miss Cummings to participate
providing her mother has no objection,
so word has been sent to the mother
on Maui and her verdict is awaited
In the event of the chosen one not be-
ing allowed to grace the occasion, there
are two or three other Maui maidens
in the city who are available.
Hawaii has not yet been heard from
in regard to a Princess.
The Agricultural College of Hawaii
is one of the latest institutions to pro-
mise to have float in the parade.
The Outrigger Club is preparing to
put canoe float in the show and the
Red Men will have a splendid contri-
button in the way of float Indians in
war paint and feathers.
Charlie Chillingworth is enthusiastic
over the pau prospects. He has al
ready secured fifty-fve good pau rid
ers, Mrs. Charles Chillingworth is
lending her talent to the selection of
costumes and the cutting of the goods.
At O'Clock this afternoon there will
be meeting of the general parade
committee. 1t is expected then that
there will be a report from the COM
mittee appointed to look up the pro-
position of mardi gras celebration in
the evening following the parade
Members of that committee have in
terviewed merchants and found a gen.
eral willingness on their part to de-
coTate their stores, put up extra lights
and to help in every way to make
the gathering on certain streets, which
will be kept clear of vehicles, a success
and a monster masked or costumeC
merry-maling wherein confetti anC
flowers may be thrown and much JOY
observed.

JUDGMENT

Judge Robinson makes an order of
confirmation of sale by M. T. Simon
ton, commissioner, in the foreclosure
case of Honolulu Library and Reading
Room Association against Frank e.
King and Louise McGrew.
The plaintiff corporation was the
purchaser of the property for $1,000.
Expenses and taxes make $199.75 and
the mortgage debt up to date of de-
cree is $2244.97, which with interest OF
$15.44 to date of sale foots up alto
gether $2460.16. Deducting the $1,000
there is a deficiency of S1260.16 for
which judgment is given against
Louise McGrew with recourse to Frank
e. King if execution levied on her
property do not satisfy the judgment.

fifty years. Its capital is fixed at
100000 with the privilege of in
creasing to 100000. The name OF
the corporation is to be The Pearl
Harbor Traction Company, Limited.
The businesses of the concern, as set
forth in its articles, are to build and
operate electric or other railways be-
tween Honolulu and Pearl Harbor; de-
velop power for operating same; own
and control property of any and every
railway; to own and operate vessels
between Honolulu and Pearl Harbor
as may be required in connection with
the objects stated, and to manufacture
and deal in machinery used by the
company.
This places the company in posi-
ton to go ahead with the work Of
completing organization, acquiring
rights of way and other property and
beginning work. At the Office of the
attorneys for the corporation it was
stated this morning that nothing was
certain as to the actual ime of be-
ginning track laying, but that the pre-
liminary work of drawing plans and
securing necessary property would
proceed without delay.
The company intends, in conjunction
with the Rapid Transit & Land Com
pany, giving a regular street car SER
vice to extend from Diamond Head
to the Pearl Harbor peninsula and all
contiguous bases of army and naval
: operations.

ing for her.
Some years ago foreclosure was had
on a house and shoe-store of the wi
dow, and because, as plaintiff says,
the words land with Improvements
were interlineated in the record and did
not appear in the papers as certiticated
by a notary public, the whole bust
ness is wrong.

The Mayor handed the document to
the City and County Attorney who
has nothing to do with it, as far as
10 is aware.

the record of the closing of a mort

was guilty of an interlineation which
should make it invalid. The record is
in an Office of the Territory, but this
did not keep the lady from seeing the

amiss for an officer OF the Army to
