Interesting Letter Tellim of the
PRAISES DANIEL LOGAN'S WORK
Some of the Things to Be Seen ia the
Whte City-Tie Hawaiian
Village.
(Staff Correspondence.)
OMAHA, Neb., August 18. After
Barnum had entertained a parcel of
preachers at his circus he asked one,
"Do you think that I will go to Heav
en?" The clergyman cautiously re
sponded, "You have a good show, Mr.
Barnum." This Omaha affair this year
is not a great international or even na
tional exposition, but it is a rattlin
live show. There is something in
ery building and each structure is well
preserved and in good repair. About
twice a week the attendance is large;
twice a week the crowds are fair, and
three times of the week the patronage
is miserably small. But next month
the railways will announce the lowest
rates ever scheduled for excursions and
the rush will set in if the people be
come interested, rne tarmers are
busy and this is about the third pros
perous year they have had. When the
season of field work is over the tillers
may come into the White City for
amusement.
Hawaii is the only State, Territory
or country that has a straight-out, le
guiniate exhibit at the exposition. Ev
ery bit of the rest of it is directly or
indirectly or incidentally enterprise or
show for profit. The Omaha merchants
and a few Eastern firms occupy sever
al of tne buildings. The exposition
people keep up the court, the lagoon,
the plaza, the art display, the United
States war relics, horticultural show,
and the music. Lieutenant Dan God
frey's famous organization of instru
mental artists has been succeeded by
Mr. Herman Bellstedt's peerless band.
Mr. Bellstedt is American and Europe
an trained, a pupil of Gilmore, Thomas
and others of like standing. Every
number by this troupe of forty-five is
a treat. This selection of this evening
may be noted for the benefit of Mrs.
Yarndley:
"Peer Gynt" (Suite No. 1) Greig
Written as the incidental music
to Ibsen's well-known drama, the
descriptive powers of the great
Norwegian composer stand out in
such bold relief as to almost over
shadow the greatness of the liter
ary work, and earn for itself a per
manent place on the programs of
the principal symphony orchestras
of the world. The present suite
describes (a) Sunrise, (b) Asa's
Death (c) Anitra's Dance (d) Peer
Gynt pursued by the demons of the
mountain.
This was an afternoon program:
March "Under the Double Eagle" . .
Wagner
Military Episode "Guard Mount" . .
Eilenberg
Overture "Pique Dame" Suppe
Gems from "The Serenade" . . Herbert
Intermezzo "Cavalleria Rusticana"
Mascagni
Solo for Cornet Selected
Mr. Herman Bellstedt.
Reverie "Traumerei" Schuman
Arranged by Mr. Theo. Thomas.
Grand Collocation "The Mikado"..
Sullivan
About one-half the pieces are en
cored. Bellstedt is one of the first
rank cornetists of the world. And
John Soper asked him to play "Rag
time Gal" and he did it and made a
hit.
The war relics building is worth
days. So, also, is the art exhibit. For
lighting the grand court and lagoon
there are 25,000 incandescents and the
sight is glorious.
Daniel Logan has done most credit
able work in gathering, shipping and
installing the Hawaiian exhibit. We
have company at our attractive place
all the time and we work especially to
interest tourists and capitalists. All
others met so far are kindly, but
promptly and plainly "chilled." The
number of peopie who have mistaken
notions concerning the islanas is as
tonishingly large and they ask mighty
funny questions. We give them the
facts as best we can and show them
what we have. Very few say anything
aoout our politics, though many will j
inquire about some Island publicist.
Mr. Umsted has been very clever to
us and all the exposition promoters
and the papers here and elsewhere are
extremely courteous. Hawaii has plen
ty of friends and well-wishers on the
Mainland.
When we show last year's tempera
ture record for Honolulu, with maxi
mum of S7 and minimum of 57, the sur
A
ev-
f l
prise is great, as we are fairly roasting
note.
At the Hawaiian village, on the
Midway. John Wilson has the best
"spieler" of the exposition. The chap
has made up an interesting speech
and tells it well. A good show is giv
en and if the expected rushes come the
village hui of Omaha and Honolulu
should make money.
This is a "write-up" of the Hawaiian
village in one of the exposition publi
cations: "The Hawaiian village opened its
amusement section to the public with
a performance that proved a delightful
one. Among its features are the splen
did music of the Hawaiian double
quartet, which has traversed the globe
and has sung before all of the crowned
heads. It provides a strange, weird
music that is full of soul and senti
ment, a he hula-hula dance by six
Hawaiian maidens is another attract
ive feature. This weird dance bears a
striking resemblance to the muscle
dance of the Orientals, but is less sug
gestive and more symmetrical and har
monious. Within the confines of the
village is a miniature lake, in wrhich a
group of natives, including the babies,
show the wonderful natatorial powers
of some of the tribes of the. Islands.
The children of these tribes are said to
take to the water when a year old as
naturally as do the water-fowl, and
n live m tne water ior, nours.
John Soper has been with us two
days and leaves' for New York tonight.
"Bill" Eassie writes me from Chicago
that he will be along soon. G. P. Wil
der was 'here ten days ago. Dr. Kel
logg (Sanitarium) was a caller. A
Boston college friend of Rev. H. W.
Peck's was in today.
Dan Logan and myself were, wishing
this evening that James A. Kennedy
and others of the Fourth of July
committee were here to see Pain's fire
works spectacle, "Battle of Manila.
The whole story of May 1 of last year
is.told with terrific effect. Ships and
forts are -demolished. There are 500
people taking part. The set-pieces are
wonderful. The fireworks in the wa
ter like the electric lighting in the la
goon, impress us very much.
IV,would easily require ten days (and
ni?fts) to do the Midways. The ma-
joTJ" of the attractions are ' really
first-class.
K-.A it from a Burlington- official
that his road Avill reach the Pacific
coast within two years. I find that
comparatively few people on the Main
land have any conception of the trade
possibilities of the Orient. The Union
Pacific folks are alive with both pas
senger and freight patronage in mind.
The Union Pacific may tap Honolulu

Ciric has been in the steamer business
a long time.
An electrical journal says that the
firm making automobiles for the Ho
nolulu company has, as well, a heavy
order from the United States Govern
ment.
While it is true that there is a great
wave of prosperity sweeping over"the
country, I have not heard of anyone
hurt by dodging good things, and in
traveling there is no difficulty in get

By kind permission of Minister Mott
Smith the band will have its annual
vacation, commencing on Monday, Sep
tember 4, to Monday, October 2, and
resume service at that date at the Em

will play, however, for the champion
ship races at Pearl Harbor on Septem

Pacific Mail wharf, during the whole
day. The last two public concerts will

A CORONER'S JURY
Criticizes Physician at the Gov
ernment Dispensary.
MEDICAL ATTENDANCE NEGLECTED
Investigation Will Probably Be
Held By Attorney General and
Board of Health.
"That said Ane, a Hawaiian wom
an, came to her death at Honolulu,
Island of Oahu, on the 2Sth day of Au
gust, 1S99, of pneumonia; and we fur
ther find that the medical attendance
was neglected and would recommend a
closer attention to duties on the part
of the phySician at the Government
Dispensary."
Such was the verdict returned by a
coroner's jury in the inquest over the
native woman who died at the
Queen's Hospital and for whose death
Dr. Cooper, who was in charge of the
case at the hospital, refused to grant a
death certificate. Deputy Marshal
Chillingworth acted as coroner, and
the jury was composed of S. Kubey,
J. H. Schnack, W. E. Bivens, E. R.
Biven, G. Dillingham and W. F. Love.
.The case has attracted considerable
attention, as the verdict is virtually a
censure of Dr. Howard, the Govern
ment Dispensary physician. When At
torney General Cooper was asked
about it late yesterday afternoon, he
stated that the matter had not yet
been officially brought before him.
What Would be done he could not say.
He understood, however, that Dr. How
ard had written to him and requested
an investigation.
At the inquest Dr. Cooper stated that
he had been called to the Queen's Hos
pital at about 7:30 Monday evening,
and had found the native woman in a
dying condition. She died about two
hours after. He refused to sign the
death certificate because he did not
know the cause of her death.
Pa, who lived with the deceased, an
swered, in response to questions, -that
the woman had been treated by the
Boar of Health doctor. She had not
gone to the doctor's office,-neither had
the doctor gone to see her. She did
not go because she was blind, and they
could not afford to get a vehicle to
take her to the doctor. The witness
went to the doctor's office and Ssked
for pills and was given them. This
was on Thursday. The doctor did not
see the woman until Monday at 5
o'clock. Witness had gone for the doc
tor twice. He told him the woman
was unconscious and. the doctor said
that he would be over by and by.
This was at 9 a. m. The doctor came
at 5 in the afternoon.
Dr. Howard was the next witness.
He had seen the woman at about 5
o'clock Monday, and also on some day
the first of the week before. Did not
know what day it was. The woman
had come to the dispensary. Did not
know whether she was alone. Had
made examination and gave her some
pills and liniment. In response to the
question, "Are you sure that the
woman who come to your office on
Thursday was the same woman you
saw on Monday?" the doctor answered:
"Well, I could not say positively
whether it was the same woman or not.
There are so many coming to the dis
pensary that I could not swear as to
her identity. People come there and
give the name of the patient and tell
the symptoms and often they will not
say whether it is for themselves or
some one else for whom they want the
medicine. (Here the coroner asked if
it were not the business of the doctor
to find out). I only know that a wo
man by this name came there and
stated she lived where this woman 1
lived. To the question: "Was the
woman who came to your office on

T - i -
Wednesday or Thursday blind or did
she have her sight?" the doctor re
plied that she could see. To the ques
tion, "What instructions did you give
to the hxisband of the deceased on that
Monday in regard to her?" the an
swer was, "He came to see me twice
that day. He came in the morning
and stated that the woman was eick
in bed and wanted me to come to see
her. I said all right, but I could not
go until after I finished my office work
and he went away. I could not get
much satisfaction out of him; he was
under the influence of some alcoholic
drink and he would not answer any
questions except to say that the woman
was sick. I asked him If he had any
other doctor and he said yes that ho
had Dr. Humphris.
The Hawaiian woman who aecom-.
panied Pa, the first witness, to the dis
pensary was sworn. She testified that
Pa was sober when Hie called on the
doctor. The doctor did not state when
he would come, but said by and by.
Witness did not represent that she was
the one that was ill.
Dr. Humphris testiflea that he had
been called to attend the woman late
at night. She was quite unconscious.
Had a double cataract on- her eyes;
the doctor's impression was that she
was perfectly blind. Had told thenr
to come to ihis house and he would
give them some jce. No one come.
Did not suggest that she be, taken to
the hospital.
The foregoing is a brief resume of
portions of the evidence. . '
DR. HOWARD'S
Mr. Editor: An attack lias been
made against me which I feel calls
for an answer in justice both to the
public and myself.
The charge has been made In two
afternoon papers that I have neglected
- .L.i. z l 1 i I i l m
my uuiy its cny pny bicittu in I'uurgu ul
the Government Dispensary and . this
has been done without any knowledge
whatever of the daily routine of the
office.
know something of what ray duties are
and what takes place daily at the dis
pensary before passing judgment upon
me.
I am, first of all, blamed for pre
scribing for patients I do not "see per
sonally. It has always been my prac
tice to refrain from prescribing for
such unless the case is a trivial one. If
the case is doubtful and the patient
can come to the dispensary, he is re
quired to present himself to me; oth
erwise I do not prescribe. If unable
to come, I call at the patient's home at
the very earliest moment that, in my
judgment, the urgency of the case de
mands. I have each day anywhere from
twenty to fifty office patients, not in
cluding about twenty Chinese addict
ed to the habit of opium smoking, and
from five to twenty-five visits to make
at the homes of patients.
From these figures It can readily be
seen that, in justice to the office pa
tients, I cannot leave the dispensary
PYPPnMtlP' rn om orconpv r r 1 1 o Vi ? rVi T
invariably respond to promptly.
Another charge is that there is no
regularity in the matter of recording
work done. I will answer this by sim
ply stating that the office book and call
list give, respectively, a complete daily
record of patients seen at the office and
patients visited in their homes.
As I have already addressed a letter
to the president of the Board of Health
asking for an Immediate investigation
in the case of Ane that came before the
coroner's jury yesterday, I shall say
nothing about that matter here. My
object in giving the public the afore
said facts is by way of refutation of the
general charge of neglect of duty
made against me.
Thanking you very kindly for the
space granted me, I am,
Very respectfully,
HENRY W. HOWARD, M.D.,
City Physician.
