Continued from Page I,
tho doctors are able to tell, be is in
otber respectd a first class insurance
ine wnoie cnoiera situation is
mysterious. As mysterious as is
tbo case of Hulu and it bas crushed
lifo out of business. It bas been
decided tbat the Manoa Btream is
contaminated. That there is not
enough disitifectant in twd states to
drench the bugs and kill them.
Tho solution seems to 60 filling in
the duck ponds and tho taro beds
at a cost of ever so many million
dollars and to raise the money the
city will havq to bond itself. This
morning an order camo from the
head of the marine hospital service
to Ramus forbidding passengers
taking a.vay water in bottles, not
even soda water, nor vegetables,
fruits, meats, milk, candy and what
not. Poi is, of courso the top
notchcr in contraband articles
This is bad for it wduld appear the
steamers will have to bring stores
for the round trip. Also, following
the plebicite, at oven this long
range, it would appear that the
anti'prohibs have the support of the
doctors. Thoro is a song which
says something about the usoless
ness of water -when you are dry.
What, then is tho matter with Bud
weiser? If one may not have a
long cold draught of sparkling water
what is ono to take if not beer?
The newspapers have started a
wrangle as to what is and what is
not infected. Tho Star insists that
it has not been proven that poi is
the source of tho break though ad
mitting that the Manoa stream was
polluted by a Hawaiian Who was
early stricken with the disease.
The editor pertinently asks where
he got his infection. He died be
fore giving out tho information.
Yesterday two supervisors made
the rounds-of the poi shops, all of
them out of business temporarily,
and then went into a bakery or two
where they were confronted with a
condition even worse than the poi
shops supplied. I am told that
Inspector Blanchard has said there
is but one bakery in the city that
should be allowed to do business
until they got rid of the filth. In
One of the best known places there
was enough dirt on tho walls to
keep a vacuum cleaner working
overtime for a week. This Bhould
give you an idea of what a resident
of this metropolis has to nut un
with. Me for the simple life after
this session of the legislature. A
specialist in diseases assures me
that thirty-four cases of cholera
have been traced by Dr. Currie
directly to tho Manoa stream. And
yet tho Hawaiians will not admit
that tho disease from which so
many have died is cholera. They
have been most perststerit1 in deceiv
ing tho inspectors and the physi
cians. This is particularly the case
with those with whom Currie has
comer in contact;
The pantaloon skirt "has come."
I can understand, now that I have
seen what I tako to be ono of them,
why England throws the stony glare
on a suffragette. Tho wearer of the
pantaloon combination hero is said
to be a dress maker. Judging from
what I saw of her costume on King
street the other day she can lay
claim to being a pants maker as
well for she wore tho genuine article
turned up, just as they wore them
in dear old Lunnon on damp bad
days. Tho tout ensemble did not
appeal to mo because I considered
tho woman who wore the costume
old enough to bo thinking of better
things. Between us it was raw.
i
Mrs. McQuaid, tho wife of tho
man who shot Volney Driver a. few
months ago has begun action for
divorco by charging cruelty. Take
it by and large this was a case in
which tho sympathy was all ono
way. McQuaid got it. Now he is
brought into court and the judge
tells him he is not to molest the
woman who is mothei of his chil
dren. If ho wero half a man ho
would let the ocean separate them.
To go back a dozen .years. When
McQuaid was courting this little
girl she showed indifference whiloJ,,,
ho was the ardent lover. As ' afcjf ,
matter of fact she felt that she was ' fr
''O'er young to marry yet," and
declined his offer. She admitted
to her friends that she did not loVe
the man. She told him the same
thing but he was so much in love
With her that ho was willing to take
a chance. You can readily see
whero the chance has brought him.
Ho is a wreck wandering about tho
street from morn to night, or rather
ho did before the trial, looking
more like a man with the willies,
than otherwise. Of course no one
can blame him as long ns he still .
held a warm spot in his heart for
the woman. He was blamed for
not dampening his fires. She is in -love
with Driver. At least she is
said to have told her husband so '-"
when ho was on his bed in tho
hospital. And Driver. He paid in
cash dearer for his marksmanship
than did McQuaid and one, was as .
bad a shot as the other.
So the voyage of the Senator was
not an unqualified success. In other ,
words tho laborers destined for tho ' j
canneries seem, trom a cablegram at
hand, to have slipped it to the con
tractors in great shape. No sooner
had tho steamer arrived in the bay
at San Francisco than a demand.was
made by the men to be landed on
the dock. Union labor had met the '
"enemy before it had a chance to tako
root on California soil. Just leave,
it to the Unions' over there to bo .,
ready for new obstacles to surmount ;
they sweep with an iron hand. A
copy of the contract the men are
expected to sign has been obtained
and published in the S.tar. It is a
peach. Among other things tho
laborer agrees to work day and
night, Sundays and holidays not
excepted, if so ordered by the can
nery superintendent and he is not ,
to grouch if Sam gets off earlier than
ho. Another thing. They are not
expected to complain if they do not
get more than two meals a day, ono
at eight in the morning and tho .'
next at four in tho afternoon. Forty
dollars advance money is to be paid
after the laborer goes aboard tho
steamer bound for Alaska and tho
balance, if any is due by tho fore-.
man, nvo days alter returning to
San Francisco. It would appear
that tho cannery had a cinch.
Twelve months ago it was pointed
put to mo why August Ahrens would
make two stools of cane grow on tho
land of the Pacific Sugar mill whero
none grew before. The ditch was
to be a factor and careful attention
to cultivation a close second. Inci
dentally I was advised to take a
flyer in the market making that
stock tho qbjectivo. Needless to-Bay
I never fly. Even Mountain King
fit six and a half and with an up
ward tendency had no allurements
for me. Today Pacific sold at$115,';
an advance of twenty dollars over"
the last sale and I have reasons for
saying the, next sale will be at a
higher price. Hawaiian Commercial
sold at $39 and McBryde at $6.87 v
There is to be something doing in
Mutual Telephone shortly. A special
meeting of the shareholders is called
for next month and I am informed
there is a "probability of n nice jjiioy
dividend, possibly in stock, being
declared. I think tho company is
making money and tho shareholders
are to have some of it.
There is no change in the theater
combine. Winkleback, who origi-v,, . ,
nated the popularity contest is on '
his feet again with tho same sort of
a proposition and tho Independent
Theater, tho only ono not in the
trust, is to give away an automobile .
and what not to the persons getting
the most votes. It is a money grab
bing business but tho public will bo '.
glad to seo tho Independent crowd- .
ed every night as a disapproval pl'i''.'
tho ways of the combine. ' .-;
The Advertiser informs us thi
morning that the second outbreak
of cholera is at an end. I would
not like to say it aloud but I have
a right to think that the buddlo sur
rounded poor old Mackallnd it was
hoped that when tho blow carrio it
would find him out of olfico. I do
not, wish to imply that tho germs
