An exchange says that "hugging
parties, for the benefit of churches,
are all the rage in some of the coun-
ties of this State. The price ranges
as follows, and is given to the church
fund: Girls, under IA, Is cents each
hug Of two minutes; from 16 to 20,
60 cents; from 20 to %, rs cents; an.
other mans wife, 81; widows, &C.
cording to looks, from 10 cents to 50;
old maids, 3 cents apiece or two for a
nickel and no limit of time"
Why not start such parties in this
place? 1t would be remunerative to
the churches, and besides some OF
our "old maids" might get good
hugging in this way, which they
would never get without these par.

TnIEyEs.-For some time past a
band Of thieves have been living on
q boat, OH Kanawha river, at the
mouth Of Three Mile creek. Their
names are Henry shamlin, George
Shamlin and Henry Pearson, and are
said to be desperate characters, a
Kind of Jesse James gang. Recently
they made a raid on Portsmouth and
committed several ihefts. On We'd.
nes''ay evening last several officers
arrived here from Gallipolis and
Portsmouth. They discovered the
whereabouts Of these outlaws, and
were SO anxious TO secure them, that
they went to their place of lendez.
vous without engaging the services
OF our officers, feeling confident of
their ability tocapture them. After
dark they entered the boat where
these fellows were, and demanded
their surrender. Instead, however,
of obeying the order, they resisted,
and a fight at once commenced. An
officer succeeded in getting his nip
pers on one of the outlaws, aud an.
other the handouts on Henry Sham
lin. So far they had the advantage
of the thieves bit at that moment
some one hit the officer over the
head, who had the nippers on his
man, and Ielled him to the floor, and
he was then picked upby some Of the
party and thrown overheard. The
officer who had his man partly hand.
cufed; was then confronted by Il wo.
man, who got the drop on him."
with a shot gun, and demanded that
he release his man, and surrender,
which he did without much further
parlying. The officers were then
driven from the boat; and the out
laws jumped into skiff and put out
to u tow boat, that was then passing
up the Kanawha, which they boarded
and made their escape, and upto this
time their whereabouts is not known.
Had these officers proceeded rightly,
by gettingou sheriff and a possee to
go with them, they would have cap.
tured the whole gang. 1t isrumored
that Geo. Shamlin was pretty badly
hurt in the fight, by blow from a
club in the hands of one of the Off
GERS. The supposition is that the
gang have gone to Charleston.

Fires or TIE PLAINs.

After the experience of the late
fire at Waikiki, the Government
ought to take some steps to provide
apparatus for cNtinguishing fires in
that locality. Even with all the
means at hand in Honolulu for that
purpose it is impossible to get them
out there in time to do any great
amount Of good.
We are perfectly sure that, if the
means arc provided, the house
holders and property owners there
would take the necessary steps to
care for the apparatus and would,
also, we arc assured, themselves
turn ont at the alarm and man the
fire engines and work for the desired
end--thc speedy extinction Of the
fire.
And in country like this every
fire is not only a cause of individual
loss but a cause of national loss.
1t means the loss of so much wealth
to the nation, tritling, perhaps, in each
single case, but amounting in the
aggregate to thousands Of dollars.
And, although prosperous, we are
too few in numbers to afford many
such losses. Every dollar expended
in the country Of which the result
vanishes, as in this case makes itself
felt throughout the community.
We are informed, too, that the
necessary provision could be OBJ
tanned with little trouble. Since the
advent Of the last steam fire. engine
there has been an old hand engine
lying idle in Honolulu. Why not
give this and a sufficient supply of
hose, and have a house erected at
some central point where it would be
easily accessible in case Of need
Probably the only permanent ex-
psnse would be a watchman stationed
to give warning.
We throw out these few sugges-
tions and hope that those specially
interested will take the matter up
and bring it to n successful issue.

The Leper Hospital as Nakaako.

On Sunday last, by courtesy of
Drs. Fitch and Rodgers, our reporter
was shown over the Branch Lcper
Hospital at the ahove-namcd place.
Is is deeply interesting subject TO
every one on these islands, both
native and foreigner. No one can
have failed to notice the spread of
this terrible disease and the ravages
it has made, and from experience it
is safe to say that race is not Il bar
to its attack. We arc informed that
there are no less than seven whites
now at Molokai. And yet the Board
Of Health apparently have not pre-
pared any definite plan for conhning
and stamping out this fearful
disease.
When the ground was first en-
closed for tins settlement the Board
Of Health fenced in 200X30O feet I:
now they have added to its extent,
and it is 5O0x5O0 feet.
The buildings are frame ones, and
those for the patients extend along
one side of the enclosure and part of
two other sides. Each of these
buildings is divided into several
rooms, and to instance the number
of patients and the insufficient ac-
commodation provided, IL is only
necessary 10 state thu, IN rooms, ap-
parently 12X1+, there are beds for
three or four patients. In any civil,

we're permitted in common lodging
houses the police would take the
matter in hand. Yet here, owing to
the parsmony of the Board of
Health, persons suffering from II
disease are compelled to
dwell in this way. Still it must he
distinctly understood that the mcdi-
cal officers arc in no way responsible
for this. They do all in their power
to alleviate the evils of the case but
what is the good Of alienation when
Il total removal OF the evil is what is
required.
Besides these buildings there is n
cottage for the Supervisor, Mr.. Van
Gicscn, pavilion also used as Il
school-house, baths, storehouses,
kitchen and out-houscs. a thorough
system of drainage is in force.
Apparently every patient is COM
tented and happy i'll the belief that
every possible means is being used
for their relief or cure. And we
must say that those who have the
superintendent, Drs. Fitch and
Rodgers and Mr.. Van Giescn, are
three of the kindest and best men
for such 4 work that it has ever been
our fortune to meet. TO say they
are beloved by the patients falls far
short of the truth-idolized would be
much nearer.
And there is another who feels as
great, if not greater, Il love for these
unhappy people. Her Majesty the
Queen is constant in her visits of
coincidence, sympathy and comfort
to the Hospital. Every time she
comes she brings them presents, and
news OF their relatives and friends
and last but not least, assurances of
her undying love and interest for
them. She has been known to come
down on foot ut 6 O'Clock in the
morning to comfort some unhappy
one. Where can we find better
example OF the truth of her title
the Mother OF her People?
A few statistics Of the disease and
the hospital will perhaps be interest
ing. Every patient is medically y eX-
amined at least every 10 days, and
the whole history of each case from
day to day is taken down in book
for reference. Many of these ac-
counts are highly interesting, not
only to medical men but also to the
ordinary reader. Photographs are
also taken of each patient when they
come in, and from time to time
afterwards, and marked improve
ment cannot fail to he noticed. 1t
is calculated that 694 out of 700
attacked by this disease have had it
preceded by syphilis, SO tkat it may
be reckoned that this disease will
only attack the lechcrous portion of
our community and their offspring.
Out Of l2S admitted since the open
ing of the hospital 6 have died,
about 20 discharged as cured, and
23 sent to MOlokai.

The other day a worthy medico
was driving along the street in his
carriage when he saw young lady
stepping across the street towards
him. The face seemed familiar, and
scenting g possible patient he drew
up his horse. The young lady got
in, and after little chaff the gentle
man asked where she wanted him to
go. On getting the directions he
drove at Il rapid pace, and soon ar
rived at the destination. His fair
companion stepped out, and to the
astonishment of our scientific friend
proffered him Il quarter. On re-
covering from his astonishment he
found the young lady had mistaken
his carriage for an express.

Daily Republican., 1882-06-10

JOHN WANAMAKER seems TO be the
leading candidate named for nomina.
tion by the Republican State Conven-
ton for Congressman at Large from
Pennsylvania. The nomination of Mr..
Wanamaker would reflect great credit
upon the Republican party of Pennsyl-
vania, and would 60 far towards allay-
ing the unpleasant feeling that has
sprung up between the two wings OF
the party in that State. The great pop
ularity of Mr.. Wanamaker would in
sure his election, even with two Re.
publican tickets in the field, and would
strengthen the regular ticket for which
he has been named. We sincerely hope
Mr.. Wanamaker will be nominated
and elected, in which case Delaware
will feel that she has little claim
upon him, Mr.. Wanamaker's reputa'
tion being confined to no particular
State.
