Big Demand for United States Stamps

T. P. Corwin of GAINESVILLE, O., who
is collector Of rare stamps, was in
Washington the other day in pursuit
OF his special fad, Mr.. Corwin says
there is a bigger demand for the
stamps of America than for those of
any other nation. Dealers of his &C
quaintance, he says, declare that
United States stamps are better sell
ers than those of Great Britain, which
country for years led in popularity
among philatelists. He does not like
the idea, however, of printing special
issues of stamps every few months.
He says that France is the only other
country that follows this prictice OF
printing a more or less pretty label
to commemorate it whenever there is

WAS ONCE A HUSBAND OF
THE FAMOUS PATTI ROSA

Robert L. Scott, familiarly known
as "Bob'', is dead at an age that must
be ten points beyond the half century
mark. He came here twelve years ago
to Join the Price and Burns circus
whose tent was patched at Beretania
avenue and Miller street, and has re.
,mained ever since. When the circus
disbanded Bob remained and earned
livelihood rehearsing amateurs and
on one or two occasions appeared with
the Frawleys in minor parts. Suisse
quently, he drifted into the employ of
w. G. Peacock & Co. and became a
sort of entertainer at the Moana Hotel.
He was superior billiardist and was
handy man in this respect around
the hotel. At one period of the man.
agement of the Hilo Hotel by the same
firm Bob was sent up there to repre-
sent the Peacock interests and was in
that position when the lease expired
and the hotel was closed.
At that he returned to Honolulu and
has suffered more or less from ill
health. He was sanitary inspector
for the Board of Health with an as.
signment to the Nuuanu dam. He was
seldom seen around town, remaining
much of his time at the works. He
married while in Hilo and leaves a
widow and several children.
Thirty years ago Scott and his first
wife, the great htti Rosa, one of the
best soubrettes of the day, were head,
liners in all of the big shows. Scott
was a member of one vaudeville com
pany that visited Australia and made
money. He was good in any char.
acter for in those days he was a sing.

was never without an engagement

JAIL YET HAS
NO HOSPITAL

Though the Supervisors have made
County Jail, no steps have as yet been
taken toward securing the plant. The
County Physician is therefore forced to
dress the injuries of prisoners in any
old room that he may find regardless
of its lack of facilities for antiseptic
surgery.
In the oldeni days, when the County
Jail was run in connection with the
territorial prison, the sick wards of
the latter institution were available for
the treatment of the occupants of the
county's bastile. Now that such is no
longer the case, the County Physician
has had to make such shift as he can.
There is considerable surgical work
to be done at the County Jail, as fire.
quently the inmates have secured their
right to free accommodations through
acts which Resulted in their physical

they are sent to the Queen s Hospital
| for treatment, but if their injuries are
not serious, they are allowed to go to
Jail, where they are looked after by the
County Physician.
The stabbing of Editor Sheba of the
Hawaii Shinpo has led to a revival of
the agitation for receiving hospital
at the police station. Sheba suffered
| seriously from loss of blood while be-
ing conveyed to the Queens Hospital
in the patrol wagon. Had there been
suitable operating room at the police
station, it is urged that the Police
Surgeon or the County Physician could
have dressed his wounds in. short order.
At least one members of the Board
of Supervisors is said to be in favor
of having room fitted up as receiving
hospital. Though no official steps have
been taken, it is understood that Chair
man Cox of the police committee is
anxious TO have a room fitted up FOR
the treatment of emergency cases, and

BARRIERS POINT
PAU ON MONDAY

Yesterday afternoon the work of
charging the big storage batteries at
Kahuku wireless station was com
meneed. The charging requires about
seventy hours. AS soon as they are
charged, Kahuku station will be ready
to handle all of the wireless business
for this island, both day and night.
On Sunday afternoon rigger will

gin dismantling the station there, and
Monday morning the old station will
be put out of commission permanently.
The mast will be brought to this city
and stored in reserve, ready for service
in case of emergency.
The use of storage batteries, or &C,
fcumulatOrs as they are technically
called, is rather a new plan as applied
to wireless equipment, and will reduce
the operating expenses of Kahuku sta
ton to the minimum. During the night
hours, when messages are being sent to
ships at sea, the big engine will fur,

ficient size to supply current for the
accumulators, which are thus recharged
while the plant is in operation.
During the day time, the station viii
run entirely on the energy stored nj
in the accumulators, thus leaving thu
engine idle and conserving the fue
supply. The accumulators are of suf
ticient size to supply energy for fou
days and nights, should the engin,
