Resurrects
The Dead
Dr. Raymond Performs Al
most a Miracle.
On tin- Claudinu of last week
bound for Muni was Doctor J. II.
Raymond who recently returned to
tlie practice of inedeciue in Hono
lulu. The steamer was over crowded
and tlie Doctor bad to content him
self with a mattress on tlu- upper
deck.
During the night the Doctor was
awakened by one of the stewards
rushing along the deck. He was
shortly seen returning with the pur
ser. They went below and soon the
purser called the Captain and they
went down into that part' of the ship
where the steerage passengers are.
Captain Bennett soon returned
and stated to Doctor Raymond that
he had a dead man belou and would
like him to ascertain the cause of
death.
The Doctor went below and found
the man apparently dead. The man
a Porto Riean was cold, there was
no pulse whatever that could be
distinguished, breathing bad entire
ly ceased, the eyes were set ami
glassy, tlu- tongue was out and
bloody saliva exuding from the
mouth.
Not only all others present but
the Doctor himself believed tlie man
to lie dead. Instead of giving the
man up, however, the Doctor said
ftliut he would take one chance in
ten thousand and proceeded to inject
a most powerful stimulant of strych
nine directly into one of the veins.
The dose was an unusually large
one. It was fully two minutes be
fore. the slightest twitching of the
muscles of the neck werediscernable
and about three minutes more be
fore there was any pulse that could
be distinguished. In fifteen minutes
however the man was able to be
carried above ami succeeded in keep
ing the lest of the passengi rs awake
for the rest of the night by his in
cvssant chatter.
When the steamer landed in Ka
hulni the man was able to walk
from the dock as well as the rest of
the passengers.
Doctor Raymond was for a num
ber of years the President of the
Hoard of Health and is acknowledged
to be one of the. foremost physicians
and surgeons,' of the territory but
even those who know him best did
not expect to hear of his resurrect
ing the dead.

To Kennedy
Non Visit of Congressmen
to Hana Explained.
The following letter from R. O.
Matheson, assistant secretary of the
Cieneral Committee for the enter
tainment of the Congressional party,
has been received:
Honolulu, T. II., Sept. 22, UK)!).
Mr. W. P. Haia,
Chairman, Hana Knt. Com.
Hana, Maui.
My dear Mr. Haia :
On behalf of the Central Commit
tee and of those members of the
Congressional Party who failed to
and at your pretty port, 1 want to
express regret for the fact that your
committee and so many of the good
folks of your district were disap
pointed on the morning of Sunday,
September Pith. On the other hand,
I want to congratulate your com
mittee on the fact that those Con
gressmen and others who landed a
Hana and took the overland trip
were unanimous in slating that next
to the visit to Kilauea the liana trip
was the best thing in the whole
Territory. You probably know by
this time from Mr. Aiken that he,
Senator Smith, and others including
myself, did everything that was pos-.
sible to induct' Mr. Kennedy of the
Inter-Island Company to make a
stop of at least an hour at Hana so
that we could come ashore and par
take of your generous hospitality.
Kennedy, however, absolutely re
fused to hold the boat there giving
as his reason the fact that the crew
of the Manna Kea had been worked
overtime, and on Sundays and holi
days!, and wen,1 entitled to at least a
portion of Sunday in Honolulu.
When Mr. Aiken took a list of those
who desired to make the Hana trip
about twenty-live of the party asked
to be included. This was done on
the way from Honolulu to Maliuko
na before the party had been tired
out with their sight-sec'njgand many
arduous trips' on tin- big island. As
you know, most of the twenty-five
backed out when the Mauna Kea
reached Hana so early on Sunday
morning ami you can hardly blame
them for so doing. The party was
so fatigued in fact that several of
them diil not hind on Maui at all
but came direct to Honolulu. Try
ing to cover the important points of
this Territory in ten or twelve days
proved too much for the average
Congressman.
Will you kindly convey the re
grets of the Committee, to the people
of Hali.i for having to disappoint
them and us through the inability
of the Congressional party to at least
landing and seeing Hana, and also
thank them on behalf of .the Central
Committee for the hard work under
taken to receive the party, and for
the. hospitality they evidenced in
their preparations.
Ycry truly yours,
R. 0. MATHESON,
Asst. Secretary, Gun. Com.

of your paper to an offer that is be
ing made by the Hoard of Agricul
ture' and Forestry to giveaway trees

and care for them.
Arbor Day comes on the second
Friday of November On or about
that day it is proposed to distribute
from the Government Nursoy at
Honolulu and from several subnur
series that have been established on
the other islands, two dozen trees to
every person who makes application
for them.
The trees to be given away in
clude kinds suitable for forest, shade
tree, windbreak and ornamental
planting, such as lion wood, Silk
Oak, various sorts of Eucalyptus,
Monterey Cypress, Poinciana, Gold
en and other Showers, etc.
Lists of applicants arc now being
made up by tne men in charge of
the subnurseries afid others inter
ested. Rut that no one who wans
trees may be 'overlooked, persons
who have not already handed in
their names may make application
direct, by sending a letter or postal
card giving the name, address, near
est steamer landing, and the kinds
of trees most desired. Cards should

taken advantage of generally by
people throughout the Territory,
especially by homesteaders, and
owners of kuleanasand other tracts
of land. To got two dozen trees,
delivered free to a point, close by
one's home is an unusual oppor
tunity. Let every one take advant
age of it.
Yory truly yours,
RALPH S. HOSMER,

A Jolt
Appellate Judge Scores Sea
Wolves.
A principle in salvage cases has
been laid down by the judge of the
Appellate Court who reviewed the
case of the owners of the cable
steamship Restorer against the
Paeifu: Mail company, for salving
the steamship Manchuria which
went on the rocks at Waimanalo
Hay, which may have a far-reaching
effect in future cases. The
judge st-veiely criticized mariners
who stand off while a vessel in dis
tress is going lo ruin. His de
cision in this case was as follows:
"A salvor, said the court in the
case of The Howard, 12 Fed. Cas.
(!.'50 (io.'i, who, regardless of per
sonal considerations, gallantly
lushes into dangers to preserve the
lives and property of others, when
exposed to the horros of shipwreck,
or he who promptly goes forward
and contributes his aid when he
believes his services will be benefi
cial in preventing impending loss,
without stopping to inquire what
amount in dollars and cents his
exertions will bring to his own
pocket, will always receive that
liberal reward for his services
which it is the policy" of the law to
allow, and which courts feel pleas
ure in awarding to generous and
manly conduct; while he who holds
back and quietly looks on at ap
proaching ruin until his own ser
vices become indispensable to the
preservation of the property he
sees exposed witl the expectation
that his reward will thereby be in
creased in proportion, to the in
creased dangers from which the
property is ultimately rescued,
will find that he is disappointed in
the realization of his golden hopes,
and that a display of avarice at
such a time renders him an object
of contumely and reproach."
