APPLICATIONS BEFORE THE BOARD Petition From Chinese Physicians Mother s Strange Request Regarding Her Child. Damages From Cholera Visitation The Va'.Iuku Hospital New Appointment. Board of Health met at 3 p. m. Pres ent, W. O. Smith, president, Drs. Wood, Day and Emerson, Messrs. Lansing and Kelipiio. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The first matter brought before the Board was a request from Lee Kai Fai, a Chinaman, and his wife, for license to practice medicine. A certificate from Dr. Kerr, medical examiner at Hong Kong, was to the effect that petitioner was a practitioner of good standing in Hong Kong. Another petition from certain tax payers in Honolulu, praying that re quest be granted, was read. The pe titions were referred to the Board of Examiners. The committee to whom was referred the tender for drugs reported favor ably on the bid, and the contract was awarded to the Hollister Drug Co. A verbal request from the wife of a leper to send her only child, a gifl twelve years of age, to the Kapiolani Home for girls, was read. This re quest was considered a peculiar one and was opposed by several member-r of the oBard and peremptorally denied. Petition of Kinau, a property owner in the cholera district of last year, for permission to occupy one of his dwell ings and rent the others was read. President Smith stated that these houses were condemned last year and had not been occupied since. Kinau, the petitioner, is a man who is really poor and unable to earn a livelihood, and asks to be allowed to rent two of the dwellings and occupy one. The Board has been pajTing his rent for a year past, but he needed some thing more than that. The president stated that the land is a marsh spot, but that he did not believe the place was unhealthy. The place was con demned in order that excrement would not get into the harbor and contamin ate it. Dr. Wood said with the use of dry earth closets there might not be any harm, but to let the people live there and dig a vault under the house would mean danger. The request was referred to the San itary Committee to report next week. Dr. Monsarrat reported 142 bullocks killed and examined. Under the Act to Mitigate, sixty three women were reported examined during the week. One German taken from the register at her own request. Dr. Hildebrand reported examination of 737 female pupils in the schools, and to issuing certificates to them. Letters and reports of Dr. Meyers re garding the condition of affairs at the settlement were read by the president and his recommendations were carried out. Dr. R. B. Williams of Hilo reported the examination of school children and issuing certificates. He mentioned read ing in the Gazette that R. A. Layman had recommended him to the position of registrar of births and marriages. He declared this was unauthorized and he resented it. He had no time to at tend to births, deaths or marriages. The Board of Education reported that there was no Government phy sician in the district of Hanalei, and that the orders of the Board of Health regarding the examination of school children could not be carried out. It was decided by the Board to offer Dr. Brown, now at Kealia, the position at Hanalei. On motion of Dr. Emerson, Sheriff Andrews of Maui was appointed an agent of the Board to confer with the matron of the hospital at Wailuku re garding the business and financial mat ters of that institution. This is the same position occupied by t he late HEALTH MATTERS Ml MSCDSSED ULIU Sheriff Everett, and since his death no one had been appointed to succeed him. A request from Sheriff Andrews, ask ing permission to sell the delapidated pest house at Wailuku to Jose Juan for $25 was read and the request was granted. The following communication was read by President Smith: X'o. 210 West Fourth Street. New York, U. S. A., Sept. 12. ISM. President W. O. Smith, Board of Health, Honolulu, Hawaii: Dear Sir D. Goklschmult, late of Ma dena, now at Paris, in a letter to me, last December, proposed that a Congress of leprogists should be held for the sup pression and prevention of leprosy. In a letter I wrote to Dr. Armauer Hansen, I referred to this proposition and suggested the formation of an international com m.ttee, one delegate from each govern ment, to be permanently active, to meet once a year, and to take cognizance of all questions and problems relating to lepro sy, all over the world. 1 also suggested the collection of a fund, In every country, for th use of this committee, to support asylums, where such help is wanted, and to send specialists wherever they are need ed. Dr. Hansen, at once received these overtures with favor and submitted them to his chief, who in turn, communicated them to the Norwegian Government. In his answer to me Dr. Hansen said that it was the desire of the Norwegian phy sicians that the seat of the first leprosy congress should be Berger, Norway, and that the Norwegian Government was will ing to issue the call for the first leprosy congress, provided It had assurances of sympathy from other governments. I at once applied to President Cleveland, to Her British Majesty, to the Emperor of Germany, to President Diaz of Mexico, to L.ord Aberdeen of Canada, to the Japanese and Chinese Governments, and to all the Republics of South America. 1 also sub mitted this scheme to the American Deo matological Association, to the American Public Health Association (of Canada, the United States and Mexico), and to Miss Clara Barton, the President of the Amer ican Red Cross Society. It is to be com municated also to the Pope through Arch bishop Corrigan. It is desired that every ( influence that may exist, of any kind, be brought to bear upon the different gov ernments so that they may consent to ap point official delegates. Of course lepro logists in their private capacity, or as representatives of associations, will be united, and are expected to attend. The l committee, formed by the delegates, will v ' ..." . be exclusively concernea with the pro mulgation and application of laws suit able to the suppresion and prevention of leprosy in each country, leaving the dis cussion of questions of etiology, bacteri ology cure, etc., to the specialists. This is the plan as it stands now, and as it was submitted by me to Dr. Goldschmidt. Dr. Goldschmidt, in his reply, has suggested that Moscow be the seat of congress, as the International Congress is to meet there next year. This is open to the fol lowing objections: 1st. If the leprosy congress is held in Moscow, along with the regular International Congress, it will of ! necessity fall into position of secondary 1 influence, and will be in fact only a section ' of the General Congress. 2nd. Hansen is I entitled to claim the first leprosy congress; j he being the discover of the lepro bacilus. ' 3rd. The Norwegian Government having ' been the first to express a willingness to I issue the call (which should be issued by a government, not by individuals), is en i titled to the honor. 4th. If the congress j is now ta.ken to Moscow, after the Norwe i gian physicians have expressed a desire ' to have it in Norway, before even Mos j cow was suggested, the Norwegian phy i sicians will certainly take offence: a lepro j sy congress without Ifansen cannot well j be imagined. j Will you kindly publish this letter and ' ask the leprologists of Hawaii to com i municate to the Provisional Committee of j the Congress as it exists: Dr. G. Armauer Hansen, Bergen, Norway; Dr. Jules tjold- schmidt, 4 Rue Dannan, Paris, France; Dr. Albert S. Ashmead. West Fourth St., New j York, their own ideas about this great j scheme, and to offer such suggestions as may help to advance it. May we hope also that you will use your own influence to ' obtain from your government as assur j ance of its willingness to appoint a dele gate ana neip to maKe me nrsi iep"j congress a success. Very truly yours, ALBERT S. ASHMEAD, M.D. The matter was referred to commit tee on treatment of leprosy. A letter from Dr. Eldredge was read regarding the charges for hotel accommodations and medical examination ai Kusatsu Mineral Springs, Japan. This is a place where foreigners and Japanese are treated for leprosy and skin diseases. When Dr. Wood was at the Springs he obtained samples of the water, which he brought here. As it is considered an important matter, Dr. Wood was to procure a chemical analysis of it. Free Kindergarten. The annua business meeting of the Free Kinder garten Association will be held at Y. M.

HI Some Important Business At tended to Yesterday. TWO APPLICATIONS WERE TABLED Reforms at the Reform School- Manual De partment Suggestions by Mr. Dumas. One School Closed -Some Changes Nec sary in Grade ' Schools Work to go on. There were present at the Board of Education meeting yesterday afternoon Minister Cooper, Prof. Alexander, Mrs. Dillingham, Mrs. Jordan, J. F. Scott and C. T. Rodgers, secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Prof. Alexander reported that he had conferred with Mr. Holmes of the Bishop estate, who said that he would send a letter to the Board authorizing Mr. Paris, the school agent, who was their agent in Kona, to allow him to select a site for the new Hauamau school house. He also reported that he had agreed with Mr. Dillingham for a lot at Pearl City, fronting on Third street, of an acre and a half, where a suitable building could be constructed for that district. J. F. Scott showed a book of blank forms for teachers' certificates, and he recommended that it be adopted, which was moved and carried. A request of J. Smith of Koloa, Ka uai, to lease a lot which belonged to the Board and was not in use at pres ent, was refused, as the Board may need it soon. Minister Cooper had made inquiries about starting some industrial work at the reform school, and found it could be accomplished easily. The Ex ecutive also was in favor of an indus trial branch, and recommended that $500 be expended in making the ar rangements complete. The matter of those who were delin quent in payment for their tuition at the Emma Street school was brought up. Minister Cooper thought that all such persons should be sent to Arm strong Smith's school. In the discus sion which followed, the fact was brought out that there was some feel ing that there ought to be two schools of the same high grade and competent teachers, but one should be a little more select than the other. The grades in Mr. Smith's school now correspond with about seventh grade in the High School. Mr. Scott was instructed to ob tain a complete list of all the pupils in both schools, and state which ones are paying pupils. Freitas, the young boy at the reform school, was ordered to be released, as there was really nothing at all criminal in the lad. Mr. Dumas asked permission of the Board, which was granted, to explain to them a few things in connection with the Practice School. He had three recommendations tu make: First, that boys and girls should be allowed to at tend, as it would give the young teachers a better opportunity of learn ing how to manage a class when they come to teach in the public schools; second, that there would be two grades in each of the two rooms, consisting of an entrance class, First reader, begin ning Second reader and ending Third reader. In this way it will be harder on the regular teachers, but will .give more practice for the student teachers, and they will have fewer pupils to attend to during the recitations. No person commencing to teach should have more than twenty-four pupils at a time. Third, that the buildings should be fenced in and kept separate from the rest of the buildings on the ground. HEAD OS LUUU Highest cf all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report The pupils for this school are to bo obtained from the primary classes of the other schools. It will be a difficult matter in some cases; if they take from the Royal School they will have to have the teachers take a higher grade than the one they are now teaching. Mr. Scott was authorized to obtain an estimate of the cost of putting up the fences. An application from Mr. Barton and one from C. H. White for the position of assistant at the reformatory school were tabled. Mr. Meyers was authorized to close one school on Molokai until a suitable teacher could be found. Mr. Swain of Hamakua was given a raise to $50 a month in his salary. Mr. Scott reported that the school house at Maemae was all ready except the doors and windows, and as they had not come on the Australia, It was decided not to wait any longer for them, but to go ahead and complete the job. Adjourned. FUNERAL YESTERDAY. Remains of the Late .loseph Nawahi Taken to Hilo. Large Attendance of Relatives and Friends. Crowds Along the Line -Band and Police Escort. The funeral services of the late Jo seph Nawahi were held in the family homestead, Palama, shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday. The house and the grounds were crowded with relatives and friends of the deceased, and vari ous societies of which he was a mem ber, long before the hour announced for the funeral. Rev. Timeoto delivered an eulogy over the remains, in which he dwelt upon the sterling qualities of Mr. Na wahi, and the love he had for his country. During his address the people congregated paid close attention and many of them were visibly affected. At half past one the cortege left the house, headed by the Hawaiian Band and a detachment of police un-' der Captain Parker. Thfn came Un dertaker Williams in a carriage drawn by four black horses. Following walk ed two societies of women to the num ber of 500, and another, the Aloha Aina, of men. The hearse, drawn by sixty-four of the friends of the de ceased, was next in order. The pall bearers, J. O. Carter, Charles Creigh ton, David Dayton, R. W. Wilcox, W. C. Achi, S. K. Kane, J. L. Kauluko, F. J. Testa, E. K. Lilikalani, S. K. Kaa ukai, Kaunamano and Kanealii. The procession marched down King to Fort to the Kinau wharf where the casket, draped with an Hawaiian flag, was carried on board the steamer Hawaii for transportation to Hilcfo where the interment will take place. With the exception of that of the late Governor Dominis the funeral' yesterday wfs the largest ever seenfc, in Honolul a except in the roj-al fami lies. This one partook of the same nature. Occasionally some of the old er Hawaiians in the line gave expres sion to their sorrow by chanting the praises of the deceased and at the wharf it was kept up incessantly Accident at Ewa. A Japanese laborer on the Ewa plan tation jumped from the front end of a flat car when he was within a few yards of his destination yesterday af ternoon and fell under the wheels. Before the train could be stopped both trucks passed over his legs. The phy sician at hand bandaged him as well as possible and had the man sent to Honolulu on the plantation train. He reached the city at 7 o'clock and was removed to Queen's Hospital, where amputation was found necessary. His recovery is doubtful. The Sanskirt language is said to have about 500 root-words. (
