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.

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. Annual Bazaar will be Held October 2nd. The Ladies Aid Society of Maka wao will hold a bazaar at the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. H. P.

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." r Given NEARLY HALF MILLION A. & B.
