At a pretty dinner last week ropes of Illy
of the valley wound In and out among the
covers and the service. Instead of a lloral
centerpiece there was a larpo candelabrum
set In a mat of these dalrity blossoms ,
which hid Us base , and from which went
out to each lady's ' cover n broad white
rib Don , silver edged , on which was lettered
her name. In front of her place the ribbon
ended In an exquisite silver wicker basket
filled with lilies of the valley , which as
she took up on leaving the table brought
also the ribbon scarf. The shades were
vrhlto silk , and * silver candlesticks were
everywhere on the table , except in the cen
ter , where stood the candelabrum. At a
violet dinner , the white silk shades were
strewn with real violets. The cloth was
of sheer linen , beautifully done In drawn
work , and laid over u violet sitln under-
clothe. The women had enormous bunches
of violets , tied with Just the right shade
of violet ribbon , and the men big bouton-
nleres of the same ( lowers. In addition , violets
lets were scattered over the cloth In studied
Irregularity. When the linger bowls were
set on they were illlcd with more bunches of
violets , which tbo men picked out and be
stowed upon the women they chose.
At a tea given to Introduce a "bud" to the
gay world , white and gold were used for the
table decorations , the colors appearing
In the creamy white lace cover laid over a
spread of yellow satin , in the white and
gold china , and in the gilded candelabra
that held candles shaded by yellow silk
covered with chilTon. The confections ,
cakes and Ices were yellow , ono of the
sweets being candied orange peel In cut-
glass dishes. The ( lowers were yellow car
nations with inalden-nalr ferns ; a few of the
blossoms and ferns were scattered carelessl.v
over the baskets of white grapes that stood
nt cither end of the table.

the Joy of the occasion. Hut the gowns am
tuo hats were most remarked , nearly every

lions in the city , as well as representative :
of these not connected with any church
Further than that there will bo no quest lei
of sectarianism In the socioty. The manage
meat will bo vested in a board of directors
which will elect ofllccrs and appoint committees
toes for carry ing out the details of the work
Owing to tlio lateness of the hour but a iwr
tlon of the board was elected Mon

members of the association. As soon as pou
si bio a bureau of information as to employ
meat and boarding placets will bo arranged
with a view to helping young women whe

Sluco the question of annexing Iluwnll
hus bvi'omo n live ono much Inquiry IMS
been inudu us to the habits utul ballofs o (
the mitlyos , uiul particularly at to tbo
stnRo < > f clvllly.iitioii nt which they hnvo
arrived. Jn Honolulu the people are
very far removed from tlio condition of
Ignorance which prevails tfcnoniUy in
the Islands of the L'uultic , but the ma
jority of tlio Ilawallans are niuoli less
clvillzTid , alid are , Indeed , several tfon-
orations bohlnd the times. They know
very llttlo of incdlcino and still loss of
surgery , and their pbysk'lans , mediclno
inon or "kahnmiV are dependent almost
entirely on luck and good constitutions
for what few cures they siieoaed In of
footing. Dr. II. Stedman , an Australian
physician who was In St. Louis liwt
week on his way to Chicago , told a
Gloho-Domucrat reporter homo very
amusing stories of his Intercourse with
Ills brother physicians during a stay of
several weeks In and near Honolulu.
"Tho native doctor , " ho wild in answer
to a question , "is an unconscious fraud ;
that is to say , ho believes thoroughly in
his ability although ho hasn't got any at
all. Ho la very much like the Indian
medicine men generally written about ,
and relies rather upon his incantations
than his medicine chest. Ills only good
point is the mildness of the drugs he
employs , and the worst of his manv bad
points is the almost brutal severity of
what may bn termed his external treat
ment. Ho has some idea of massage ,
hut uses his lists for the purpose , and
the average white man or woman would
inllnitely prefer death to the beating ho
would insist on administering in order
to expel the evil spirit which was cir
cumventing his treatment.
"Tho first consultation at which I
chanced to bo present was when a man
lUtTering from the olYeets of u full pro-
scnted himself for treatment. Tlio diag
nosis of any clinic would have been that
the patient had broken his left wrist :
that the bones had never boon * sot , and
that the most aggravated case of inllam-
mation had sot in in consequence of the
continued rough treatment the frac
tured limb had received. The kahuna
looked very grave and proceeded to sing
some unearthly chant , and to dance
wildly about the sufferer. Finally ho
scattered some herbs over the injured
member and told the man to call the
next day. I asked the gentleman who
was with mo why the sufferer did not go
to a white doctor , and by paying a small
fee got the bjnes set and have the in
flammation relieved before amputation
became unavoidable. He told mo the
fear of the kahuna's curses kept native
sufferers from white doctors , and that it
was very seldom those living in the
country had any proper medical advice
at all.
A I'rlmltlvo Anipiitntlnn.
' 'I was curious to know what would bo
the outcome of the treatment or rather
absence of treatment , and when I heard
a few days later that the man was very
ill I went to see him. His arm was
swollen right up to the shoulder and
there were symptoms of blood poisoning.
Through my friend I volunteered my
service , but was told that the ' 'doctor'1
would bo there in a few minutes and
would relieve him/ The kahuna arrived
and to my horror I learned that ho pro
posed to cut the arm oil , then and there.
And ho did it , too , all protests to the
contrary notwithstanding. He tied a
cord four or live times around the arm
above the elbow and hacked olT th6
flesh and bone below it in a most brutal
manner , chanting and praying the
while. He had some herbal prepara
tion which acted like caustic and stopped
the bleeding by burning up the Hush
into a charred mass , after which he do-
parted. Strange to say , the man got
well very soon and the fame of the
butcher doctor grow in consequence.
"In another case a woman had broken
her collar bono , again by a fall. It was
a iiimple case , and as she had the con
stitution of an Ama/.on , no diillculty
whatever was presented. But the treat
ment that unfortunate woman received
was simply ridiculous. A foul smelling
salve made from some native herbs was
rubbed freely onto the shoulder and
neck in spite of the patient's groans.and
then she was made to lie still while a
whole rigmarole of praying and shout
ing was gone through. 1 believe in the
value of prayer as much as any man , but
this was a case in which a trrain of com
mon sense surgical knowledge would
have been worth a bushiil of prayer.
Unfortunately , however , for the cause
of truth , these people are as hardy as
Hints , and every time ono of them re
covers in spite of the mistreatment , the
euro io attributed exclusively to the
praying.A
A > 'owAVny to Trent Fever.
"Tho treatment of infectious diseases
is heartless , but not so devoid of souse as
the attempts at surgery. The islander.- *
are naturally healthy and , although
some of them scorn to seek out disoaoo ,
they are not often seriously ill , and epi
demics do not appear to bo common. A
boy of 7 or 8 had an aggravated attack of
scarlet fever while 1 was there. Half a
dozen kahunas mot and quarreled over
him , each ono trying to outpray the
other live. If the effectual fervent
prayer of a righteous man avalloth
much , and if all those six were righteous ,
the boy ought to have recovered before
the devotions were over. But ho was
very nick , and the terrible noise seemed
to be driving him into delirium. The
doctors could not bo hold responsible for
this , of course , so they wont on chanting
until each ones was of the opinion he had
beaten all the others.
"The treatment commenced with a
strong elo.se of very crude castor oil.
Tasteless castor oil has not found its way
to Hawaii yet , and the article retailed
by the American druggist and so despised -
spisod by the rising generation hero , is
straight nectar compared with the naso-
iiii * compound which In forced down the

They got through with the boy at last ,
and then the luihmitw drove every one-
out of the hut , fastening up every door
and window and promising ot rnal do-
Hit-notion to any ono who went In. The
boy died the same night , but , In justice
to the alleged physicians , I doubt if anyone
ono could have saved him when they
wore called In.
A Itnllo of OrlontnlUin.
"Herbs are naturally abundant In a
country where the temperature is almost
always warm and where fertility MJOIIW
to ooze out of the soil every time a man
puts his foot down on it. The native
medicine men claim that at least a hun
dred of those have distinct healing
virtues. Several of them wore , and still
are , now to me , and I have a collection
which I left nt San Francisco to bo ex
amined and experimented with. Ono of
these Is like the common sorrel , and It
IH used with the greatest confidence In
cancer cases. This is an old woman's
cure of long standing , and shows that
oven in the kahunas' madness thorn is a
suspicion of method. Bith animal and
vegetable poisons are used as antidotes
in cases of poisoning , and the fact that
sometimes good results follow need not
bo surprising , for It Is well known that a
great overdose of poison will often de
feat its own purpose by the violence of
the vomiting it causes.
"in this quasi-medical idiocy there is
quite a tinge of orientalism. Thus the
idea of the dual .soul is general among
the native doctors and their patients.
It is explained that every man has two
spirits , one inside the frame called the
bodv , and the other outside it. I never
could understand the exact theory of
death , lv.it it Boomed to be that the en
caged spirit joined the llborutod ono , and
the two departed together. The prayers
always scorned to be that the spirit with
in the body bo retained there , and to
bring ah int this end the most extrava
gant supplications uore made to MHHO
one or something , the kahunas fre
quently beating themselves violently
with clubs and sla'.H of wood and liter
ally howling themselves dumb. I once
cured a sick man very easily , and he ob
jected to paying my bill because I had
done so little to earn it ; the patient of
the Hawaiian kahuna could never raise
this argument , for if the doctor doesn't
euro he certainly exhausts himself in
his efforts to do so. "
To an Unknown ( loci.
'Why do you say the doctors pray to
some one or something : ' " the doctor 'was
asked.
"Because their ideas as to the deity
are distinctly shady. They are idolaters
and yet they are not. That is to say ,
while they pray to anything that maybe
around , their supplicationsaro rather
addressed to the spirit they believe to
be resting in the tree , or the animal , or
the bird , than to the object or creature
itself. On one occasion u patient was
found to resist the prayers very stub
bornly , or at any rate they did him very
little good. The prayer makers could
have cured the man by the use of qui
nine or morphine , and in the uhaonco of
these the sufferer could have been re
lieved by a series of sweat baths with
the use of nothing more than a damp
sheet and a few blankets. But
the kahunas decided that the spirit
must be appeased , and after a consulta
tion they found out that said spirit was
in a fish.
"They hustled olT to the seashore ,
and while there I found them. Never
did the leader In an old-time camp
meeting exhort like these men. They
advanced into the water again anil
again up to their waists , and shouted
to and wrestled with that spirit inji
manner which at least demonstrated
their sincerity. At last they were sat
isfied and returned to the sick man to
toll him ho would recover. And so ho
did. All ho was suffering from was a
species of malaria or ague , and while so
much effort was being expended on his
behalf the fever just ran its course and
left him. I am honest enough to add
that in a good many instances in which
white doctors treat patients a very
similar event occurs , for valuable as
medicine is , nature often excels it as a
curative agent.
"The kahunas seem to bo on the most
amicable terms with the spirits , mid
when they announce to a patient that
these beings have decreed that he must
die there is never any attempt to dispute -
puto the truth or justice of the ulti
matum. There is a convenience about
this which it is hard to overestimate ,
because when a man finds ho has run up
against a case which is Iwyond him he
can excuse his failure to cure by explaining -
plaining that the spirit having charge
of the patient has decreed that his days
are numbered. There are many hum
bugs of course among the medicine men
of Hawaii , and these doubtless take ad
vantage of the ideas sug go.stod , but the
bulk of these misguided individuals evi
dently believe every word they sav and
are as surprised and heart broken at
failures as tne patients themselves. "
