Description of the Leper Colony on this Island. ftoelal Condition T th JLeperw Their Mod f .laving-. Katlau, Etc. . CtuUtUu ar XanMnUgliu Conelaslon. The Island of Molokai is the fifth largest of the Hawaiian Group and contains 200, 000 acres. The northerly coast line is very bold, precipitous cliff or palls coming down to the water's edge except about mid way between the eastern and western points, where an irregular tongue of land projects from the cliffs, enclosing about six thousand acres. There is evidence in the general configuration of this piece of land, and in its formation that it is not caused by subsidence, but is in fact a later formation, the result of independent vol canic action. . The Titanic forces that pro duced the stupendous palis of the main land had long been extinct before the crater of Kahukoo became a vent' for the subterranean furnaces, and threw out lava and scoria boulders to form the little penin sula of Kalawao. In' short this peninsula or tongue of land is a modern addition to the ancient and grander structure of Nature adjoining, completed when, her; energies were unimpaired, and before her construc ive forces had become paralyzed with in cessant use. The crater- of Kahukoo is the highest point of this. peninsula, and being close to the ancient coast line, it forms a central ridge dividing the peninsula of Kalawao, formed by ths volcanic mud ejected from it, Into two divisions, the eastern; slope giving its name to the entire district, while the western slope is called after the steamer landing, Kalaupapa. Of course both are ancient Hawaiian names; but Kalawao was the name of the district, Kalaupapa be ing a local name. The soil is very fertile. It was originally overlaid with scoria boul ders. Underneath this soil, which is sim ply volcanic ashes and decomposed lava, lies a bed of hard volcanic rock that crops out occasionally, and forms a solid barrier against the sea along its northerly and easterly aspects it least one hundred feet high. There is access to the beach at the extreme eastern point of Kalawao, where it joins the ancient shore line, and at Kalau papa which, being more sheltered from the sea and wind, does not need such am effec tive natural breakwater. But except at the points named the peninsula of-Kalawao stands full a hundred feet above the ocean along its shore line. The shelter and protection it gives to the main land along its entire breadth is evidenced by the luxuriant vegetation on the face of the palis back of it and in the gulches, where oranges and figs grow to perfection, as well as valuable timber trees.- But for its ameli orating influence the palis in rear of Kala wao peninsula would be as bare and weather eaten as those on either side of it. Kalawao was an ' old ahupuaa belonging to the ancient chiefs of Molokai, and as its name implies "hog" and "dress" was probably held subject to a yearly tribute to the superior chief of a lard hog and a robe. Ik was evidently the seat of adehse population, and the old natives speak of it as being famous for its production of sweet potatoes and hogs. Indeed, there is no doubt whatever that it could supply the entire population of these Islands to-day with these food commodities were it ap plied to that use. It is heavily grassed " with Bermuda or maneanea grass, and could easily carry 10,000 sheep. The ancient population have left traces of their occupation I in nmmerous sione walls, stone fences andi break-wind there being certainly not less than from thirty to forty miles of such". Jfences i jEfrery Jittle holding or kuleana was securely fenced off with stones gathered from the surface of the ground. . Where the exposure is open to the strong trade wind, miles upon miles of low parallel stone windrows ex tend across the land about four feet apart, to shelter the sweet potato plants; and jk . dense was the population and so precious - appears to have been the land, that little clearances, about a yard square, are car- ' ried along the rocky sides of the crater of Kahukoo to its very aunimit. Yet this busy, industrial population has disap peared. About forty of the ancient land holders remain and wage perpetual lingual war with lepers and Kokuas about metes and bounds, and that Ls all there is to show for them except the stone walls and windbreaks. It is a sad comment upon the past, and point a moral which intelli gent readers will not fail to draw for them selves. - The crater of Kahukoo has a subter ranean vent connected in some way with the sea, because the water which is always in , its bottom is slightly brackish and is evidently influenced by the action of the .tide. " The settlement at ' Kalaupapa ob tains water from wells, while that at Kala wao nas water brought, Iroru a gulch in pipes. Close by this source of water sup- j ply is excellent taru land, but itis.unused as the lepers could not cultivate taro, and it would not be expedient to permit Chi nese Or others to do so under existing con ditions. .social conditio: ok the lepers. The Leper Colony at Kalawao, using this name for the entire district, is in many respects unique. Cut off by nature from the outside world, the condition of the lepers has been made as favorable as cir cumstances possibly admit. They are well housed, comfortably clothed, and pro vided with abtiYidance of wholesome fxd, medicines and medical attendance. Al though isolated, they are recognized by the (Jovernraent and society at large in the Hawaiian Kingdom as wards of the Na tion, 'whose mi.-fortune entitles them to greater consideration and kindness than is accorded to less afflicted persons. By the nature of their malady they become out casts from , society ; but to the infinite credit of Ihe Hawaiian Kingdom be it said, they are not neglected on that account in the slightest particular. By tacit consent it is assumed that the lepers on the Molo kai reservation and at the Kakaako Branch Hospital have lost their civil rights, but the statutes nowhere declare it, and it is doubtful whether any Court in the King dom would sustain this " unwritten law." Nevertheless, the ioint is not at all likely to arise, as the lepers do not apparently concern themselves with public affairs, being wholly engrossed -with their own bodily ailment and requirements. As has been already stated, there are about forty individual holdings on Kala wao outside the Government reservation. These will in time be bought by the Gov ernment, thereby extinguishing all inde pendent title. The lepers are free tenants on the Government land. They have no rent or taxes to pay, and may enclose and cultivate, a patch of land : at - pleasure. Many of them do so, and little colonies of them are formed who squat among the sheltered rocky land some distance from the villages, and plant and cultivate sweet potatoes for -their own use. A surplus might' very easily be raised, but prejudice among people on the outside would deny them a market. What is done is therefore on a limited scale. ' The Government provides the lepers a liberal' ration, consisting of : twenty-one pounds of pol, or of rice and poi, with seven pounds of beef, and occasionally mutton. Although the wholesomer meat of the two, the lepers as a rule prefer beef to mutton. Salmon is also served out as an occasional ration in lieu of beef or mut ton," and during the visit of His Excellency Mr. Gibson to the Settlement, several of the old people requested a continuous salmon ration because their teeth could not masti cate beef. One old man who has been a continuous resident for nineteen years, but who is a Kukoa and not . a leper, came specially to the President of the Board of Health to press this request upon him. Their ration further includes kerosene, soap, milk (of which between sixty and seventy gallons per day are distributed). There is also a supply of clothing equiva lent to a couple of blankets and two suits given to each ' individual. This ration is drawn by young and old alike. Those .who have the means or whose friends . take an interest in' them, erect comfortable frame houses for' them selves, and upon their death the house is sold for account of their heirs to some other resident, or is bought by the Board of Health and used for housing those who are without money or friends. The Govern ment sees that all are provided with com fortable homes, t Those living .outside the Hospital do their own cooking and wash ing; the fifty inmates of the Hospital are attended to by paid help. , Taking a ough estimate there are be tween 300 amt 400 frame buildings in flie Settlement, which is divided into two com munities, the more numerous and more active living at or near the steamer landing 'at Kalaupapa. There is a' "live public opinion" at Kalaupapa, which does not exist in such marked degree at Kalawao, where the . people are more subdued in manner and tone. Frequent intercourse from without may account for this in part at the former place, but it is also largely owing to the presence there of a rather numerous class of jieople who are not lepers. There may le in the Settlement about L) of this class, some of whom are there to attend upon their friends, some own land, jptheri ate merely , visitors and others again are employed by the Board of Health. . Of the former, or Kukoas, there are ten on the leper roll from charity, thus enabling them to. draw rations. There is a Catholic and a Calvinistic Church building at Kalaupapa, and similarly also a Calvinistic and u Catholic Church at Kalawao. The Kev. Father Damien min isters in the Catholic Churches, while u native preacher conducts divine service in the Protestant Churches. The Catholic mission is, however, by far the more active. There is also a Mormon Church organiza tion at the Settlement, but it has no special building. Thus "the cure of souls" is not neglected, although the cure of bodies is iinossible. The working staff of the Leper Settle ment is well organized and inexpensive. The Hospital management, under Dr. Arthur Mouritz, is .simply as jerfect as it can be made with the appliances at com mand, and the Government and residents of the Leper Settlement are to be congratu lated upon securing the services of so effi cient and painstaking a physician. A great dear depends upon the character and methods of the medical officer in charge of such an i institution and judging ; from results Dr. Mouritz is just the man for the place. He has been in charge for twelve months, and has certainly nccomplihcd a great deal in that short space of time. A firm hand is needed in the medical control and management of these people. OPENING AND GROWTH OF THE SETTLEMENT. The books at the Hospital show that the Leper Settlement was opened January , 1806, although it is common for writers to make it a year earlier. Through the courtesy of Dr. Mouritz, and by his kind assistance, an examination the books of . the Hospital was made, and the history of j the establishment, as written in the records, ascertained with sufficient accuracy for all practical purposes. The first year opened with 141 lepers in the colony, of whom 103 were males and 33 females. The mortality for the year was 20. One man died at sea during transportation to the reservation, and ten were discharged. This is the record for ISoG. Up to November 1, 1885, there were admitted 3.101 lepers, of whom 1,985 were males and 1,110 females. The record of deaths and discharged for 1878 being in complete, it is impossible to give the exact totals under these heads. It is safe, how ever, to say that all the lepers admitted up to Wj are dead, and that nearly all up to 1870 have also passed away. On the 1st of January, 1885, there were 717 persons on the leier roll at Kalawao. The largest muster roll from the foundation of the set tlementwason Augut 10, 1881, at which date it stood at 841, conn. rising 512 males and 321) females. This was during the pres ent Administration, and is a sufficient reply to the charge that there has been neg lect in segregating lepers. The .second largest number was on September 4, 1873, when WiO inmates were recorded. That was the year Father Damien arrived and found the deplorable state of things exist ing as described in yesterday's Advertiser. With the largest number of inmates to pro vide for that, the records of the Lejer Colony show the present Board of Health has reduced the administration of affairs there to a system far more effective, satis factory and humane than was ever before attained. This fact should stand upon record in the face of the world to their last ing honor and credit. The biennial appro priation for the Leper Settlements is $100,000, and the money has been judici ously spent. Had it been otherwise Kala wao and Kalaupapa villages would have presented a very different appearance. CONTAGIOUS OR NON-CONTAtJIOl S. 1 1 is not perhaps within the scope of a newspaper article to discuss the etiology of leprosy, but inasmuch as this scourge is the one blot upon the country, it is proper to state the observations made by the writer. Evidence, absolute and conclusive, of the contagiousness of leprosy was pre sented to him. In each case, however, the disease was very slowly developed. Father Damien, who has been a close observer for twelve years, is convinced that the disease is contagious. Dr. Mouritz is of a similar opinion, contrary to the teaching of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, of which scientific and learned body he is a member, his mind having been made up from tracing the spread of the disease abroad as well as by close, observation and investigation at Kalawao. The manner in which contagion is communicated is, how ever, a mystery that is, it cannot be as accurately determined as in acute conta gious diseases; but when the blood becomes poisoned by the virus, whether by inhalation or actual contact, its development, although slow, is as certain and inexorable as death itselL. But there is nothing whatever in the contagiousness of the disease, so far as it is known, to create general alarm. It is not communi cated by casual contact like small-pox, measles or fever. There is no chance of contracting it in the open air, or in street contact, in steamboats or in vehicles of transportation. Furthermore, some per sons are more predisposed to it than others, and persons in a low condition of health are always more liable to contagion than persons in robust health. With ordinary care and cleanliness the chance of leprous contamination of the general public is so slight as not to give greater concern than to induce caution. Consumption and can cers are contagious in perhaps greater de gree than leprosy ; but their ravages do not disgust the mind through the eye as lep rosy tloes. For this reason the consump tive and the cancerous are "not segregated, although if they were in all countries the fatal ravages of these diseases would soon be arrested, and the average health and longevity of mankind be greatly increased. But leprosy, being a re pulsive disease, suggests, as a precautions ry measure, the complete isolation of the afflicted. This is a very difficult thing to do; and it U greatly to the Credit of the present and previous Governments since 1800 that so much has been accomplished in that direction. This duty, at all times difficult and unpleasant, will ' be rendered still more so if the idea should be spread abroad, as is In-ing attempted through a medical journal published - on the Coast and in part reprinted here, that leprosy is non-contagious. If non-contagious, the compulsory segregation of lepers is an outrage which should not be tolerated. But the evidence is cumulative and con clusive that it is contagious, at least in these Islands, where a fierce form of lep rosy prevails ; and therefore it is the duty of all good citizens to lend, their moral support to the Government in executing a law of public safety which, in its essence, imposes penalties ujon individuals because of an infliction of nature, often induced by the noblest acts of self-sacrifice and love of kin and blood. The natives have no fear of the disease, yet they believe it communi coininunicable one to the other. The negative evidence adduced in the arti cle referred to, for the purpose of sustaining the theory of non-contagion, is dissipated by positive evidence, which the history of several cases at the Leper Settle ment furnishes. For example, Hoponi, who was declared a leper a few months ago, lived twenty-seven years with his wife, during twenty-five of which she has been a leper; and during the past rive years both have resided at the Kalawao Settlement. Now, this is a case in which the disease was contracted precisely as cancer or eon sumption maybe contracted, only its' de development was much slower. He is still a strong man. If he had been a weak one the disease would probably have shown itself many years ago. Long contact with the disease induced it in his case. An eminent English physician says: "That though leprosy i.i not contagious in the ordinary sense of the word, it is neverthe less propagated by inhalations of the ex cretions of those affected, much in the same way, but not in the same degree; as typhoid fever and cholera are propagated; but as leprosy is developed so slowly there is reat difficulty in tracing it home to its true source." This is precisely the experi ence with the disease in this country. CONCLVTING REMARKS. These observations of the leper colony on Molokai island are written solely for the purpose of presenting to the inhabit ants of this Kingdom and the wider world beyond its bounds, the exact condition of j affairs there, reference being only made to j the past when it became necessary to show, j by way of contrast, the steady and marked I change for the better in its administration ! and management. The experiment of segregating the lepers in 1806 was a bold one. It was a serious undertaking for a weak and poor country. Very little was known about the treatment and care of the disease; but King and Government set resolutely to work at the humane and benevolent task before them, and their successors have kept on, until now they have organized an institution for the care and treatment of lepers which stands un rivaled of its kind in the world. This is not a party question, as it has been sought to be made; it is a question of humanity, and just in proportion as denizens of tikis country and native Hawaiian realize and act upon this conclusion, will they hasten the ' happy time when the fell scourge of leprosy shall be stamjed out and eradi cated. In conclusion, let a further wQrd be spoken of the Kalawao Leper Settlement. There are about fifty cows on the land belonging to the Board of Health, which supply milk to the Colon', and about 400 horses owned by the native population, the price of a good horse being from $25 to $30. They have also a large number of pigs and loultry. A herd of 1,000 cattle might be fed there, supplying abundance of milk and beef. The Legislature should take this into consideration and make the needed appropriation. LOCAL AND GENERAL. Some tree trimming ia necessary in dif ferent parts of the town.

Her Royal Highness Princess Liliuoka lani held her monthly reception yesterday afternoon at her residence, Palama. The Royal Hawaiian Band was iu attendance. Attention is called to the fact that the Woodyear Circus settles all bills owed by them on presentation every Monday morn ing between 9 and 12 o'clock, at Mr. J. Dodd'a office. The fine residence of the late Justice Aus tin, situated in Nuuanu valley, is adver tised to let. It has every convenience ; the grounds are large, and everything is in very good order. The Trustees of the Honolulu Library held a meeting last evening at the hall. The yearly report and reports of the Secretary and Treasurer were read and accepted. Other business transacted wss of the usual routine character. The Government has received from If. B. M.'s Commissioner, Major Wodehouse, a copy of a pamphlet containing the report of the Loadline Committee, and the instruc tions issned therein by the Board of Trade, mentioned to its officers in tbe United Kingdom. The store on Fort street occupied by Mr. George Engelhardt as a hardware emporium is well worth a visit. During his recent visit to the Coast he made a careful selec tion of goods in his line of business, and he is expecting more by vessels nearly due from New York. - - ' 1 A Chinaman went to pay his taxes yester day, and among the silver he offered was a couaterfeit American dollar. He had other silver dollars in his pocket, which raised the suspicion that he knew it was counter feit ; so he was arrested and taken to the Station House. Yesterday evening a four-wheel vehicle, driven by Miss Hall, came to grief at the corner of Richard and King streets. The children of Chief Justice Judd were with Miss Hall in the carriage, but no one was hrt. j The' off fore wheel collapsed when a sharp turn was attempted, to make way for another vehicle driven by a lady. Now that the question of superiority iu yachts had been settled, we may be pardoned the remarks that there is hardly room for questioning who holds the championship among Honolulu clothiers.
