VOICE FROM KAKAAKO.
Residents Object to Debris Being
Deposited in That Region.
Mk. hiUTou: The residents of
Kakaako would like to have your
paper let the general public know
what 13 being done with the dirt
and filth of Honolulu, more espeC'
lally during th last few days, as
there has been te.M times as much
filth deposited a a heretofore, since
the Board of Health has under
taken to clean the town. Living
at the end of Queen and South
streets has never been similar to
living in the Garden of Eden and
the Paradise of the Pacific. Mr.
Cooke used to cremate most of the
filth. Lately it has been used to
511 in .lots, with good dirt on top.
iJut I never knew of a dead horse
or mule being buried a few feet
under ground as has been done by
oruer oi a cny pnysician ana mat
any nature
public gatherings of
whatsoever.
Fumigate the city, stop the pro
miscuous depositing of garbage,
and drain the stinking duck and
fieh ponds a3 well as the so-called
cesspools ; then carry on the good
work. "A word to the wise is suffi
cient," in some cases.

FILTHY CHINESE HOTEL.
Worst Place Yet Found is on Bere
tania Street.
Numerous complaints were tele
phoned from the vicinity of Beretan
ia and Pensacoia streets yesterday
afternoon, regarding disagreeable
odors which emanated from a Chi
nese lodging housa at that place.
Captain Parker and several officers
went to the place immediately, and
there found one of the filthiest loca
tions met with eince the beginning
of the cholera scare. The house and
about one hundred feet more or less grounds are leased by a Chinaman
from the residences of this section. I called Tai Kee, who keeps a kind of
Saturday morning three drays of n a-nationalitiea hotel. Natives,
all sorts of filth from all narts of MaPa.nes.e ana Uhinamen, about a
the town were dumned at th end ?an.dred and. my in number, hold
of Queen street almost in front of
a new store and right at the side of they discovered reasons
the new Beach road. There were erous complaints, in tl
picking over thi3 filth. The women
were uressea in tneir nignt gowns
and the men in their underclothes.
Children were there as well. No
one could tell what might be in
this filth or what will yet be the
outcome of these natives picking
over and using decayed vegetables
and fruits for 8wipe3 and other uses.
We would respectfully ask that
cesspool carts be prohibited from

odors which came from the place. In
tue back yard and almost hidden
from view by rotton boards, was a
kind of a pool, into which had been
allowed to flow refuse water of all
kinds. When Captain Parker stuck
a stick into it to test its deDth he was
almost overcome. The officers at
once proceeded to tear up the boards
which concealed from view this hole
of concentrated disease. The Chi
nese proprietor made strenuous ob

to its sanitary condition, revive the
question of putting in a proper
sewer system, and the condemning
of various stench holes. But cer
tainly it is not fair to the business
men and bread-winners to handle
the question in the uncertain man
ner that it is being handled.
It is generally understood around
town that the physicians who have
had experience in caring for and
coping with Asiatic cholera have
not as yet had sufficient evidence
to warrant them in pronouncing
the sickness, of which several
have lately suddenly died, as the
dreaded disease; nor have the
public been given to understand
that the step3 taken have been of
simply a precautionary nature. It
is a well known fact that one of the
greatest spreaders of this disease,
even among people of stronger wills
and less superstition than the na
tive Hawaiian?, is the fear of the
disease, and many cases are on
record to prove persons to have
died of sickness brought on solel'
by fright.
The partial stopping of travel
and hinderance to tcatfic will not
help matters, and makes business
stagnant as well as cesspools, and
gives people time to conjecture and
talk cholera. Find out if it is
cholera, and let people know that
that i3 what is beiug done. If it
is, immediately stop all travel by
steamers, trains or cars, and forbid
The wonders of the Orient lay re
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There i3 now hardly a fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its cozy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
Inner craving for the beautiful things
of life.
