THE LATE FIRE.
Notes After the COnnagraEiOn-In-
surRnce.

The scene of the confagration was Wis
tied yesterday by an immense number
of people The fire was not all out,
there being considerable inside the brick
buildings. The high walls of Wing Wo
Tai Co.'s building appeared to be in an
unsafe condition and guard from the
Royal Household troops did duty
throughout the day, not letting anyone
approach too near the building. A guard
was also stationed near the Chinese
club house, as the front wall looked as if
it would fall out to the road any moment.
A fire was burning in the basement all
day and also last evening, causing quite
bright reflection. In the afternoon Mr..
George Lucas had gang Of workmen
pulling down the walls of the Wong Tai
building. The makai wall was left
standing as it is pretty substantial. To
day the walls of the Chinese club house
will be levelled to the ground. The
superintendent of the Bell and Mutual
Telephone Companies had gangs of men
at work all day repairing the broken
lines, and both will soon be in running
order.
Mr.. Ho FOn, manager of the Hawaii
an Chinese News states that China
man named Lo Ting has not seen his
wife and young son since directly after
the fire started. They lived very near to
where the conhagration broke out.
A Chinese washerman, whose place OF
business on Maunakea street was burned
down to the ground, says he is afraid
Chinaman, confirmed opium smoker,
must have persisted in the flames, as he
has not seen anything OF him since Sun
day forenoon.
The number of native Hawaiians who
were deprived of their houses by the fire
on Sunday last is $50. The Government
will take prompt measures to render
them necessary assistance.
The International Hotel property,
belonging to Messrs. q. w. Macfarane
& Co., was swept pretty clean by the
fire. The Empire Saloon, on the corner
of Hotel and Nuuanu streets, which be-
longed to this property was totally des-
troyed. 1t was insured for $1,000 in
various companies. The line of Chinese
stores, five in number, on Nuuanu
street, were likewise total loss. One of
these was insured by Messrs. Geo. w. |
& Co., for $500; another was
insured by Chu Lang & Co., for $1,000.
These tenements, which had been built

SUGGESTIONS.

1t is suggested that our Sunday law be
changed to suit existing social conditions
in Honolulu 1t is not suggested to open
bar-rooms or places of business indis-
criminately, but it might be desirable to
conform as nearly as possible to the
usages of civilized communities else
where Sunday happens to be the day
when the Australian steamers usually
arrive or depart, and great deal of I'M
necessary inconvenience is often occa-
stoned through the operation of the Sun
day law. Indeed its violation is tacitly
winked at upon steamer days by all
classes. Now, is it not much better to
change a law which is nullifed by COM
mon consent than to keep sham upon
the Statute book Decent respect for
the Christian Sabbath should certainly
be enforced, but the usages of Christian
states all over the world demonstrate
that this does not necessarily imply an
doptiOn of the Puritan Sabbath" On
the contrary, the tendency of the times
is to swing away from the austerity
which made the Sabbath day of pen
ance and gloom instead OF day of glad
ness and rejoicing. Even the House OF
Lords, by majority vote, recently
affirmed the policy of opening the vari-
Gus national institutions on Sunday, up
on educational and moral grounds.
Surely with such an example before 1.-THE
Hawaiian Legislature should not hest
tate about making the necessary changes
in our Sunday law.
The necessity for completing the I'M
proyements at Thomas Square must be
recognized by every inhabitant OF Homo

The Taste for Chocolate.
Nav YorEy TrfI1una I

Said well-knoWn manufacturer to a
reporter: ''The consumption of chocolate
in the United States has had wonder
full growth. In 1878 we manufactured
into chocolate goods "a, 900 bags of raw
cocoa; last year we used "a, 900 bags, an
increase of 10000 bags in five years
The next five years will see a still
greater rate of increase. When Hum.
bOldt discovered the use of the cocoa
plant in his travels he little dreamed of
the immense business that was to grow
out of the concoction of his first cup of
chocolate. 1t is to-day fairly in the
way of becoming one of the principal
articles of food throughout the world,
and tends eventually to supplant tea
and coffee as a beverage.
AS tiavoring it already stands next
TO vanilla, which heads the list, and it
is used in all branches of cookery,
pastry, and cream, and for baking pur-
poses generally. Fifteen years ago l
went on the road to sell in small way
chocolate goods of my own manufacture
and was laughed at for my pains. At
that time the consumption was limited
in this country to the few large cities in
which the foreign element predomi-
mated The article was elsewhere COM
paratively unknown.
THE taste for chocolate is an ac-
quired one, and the public had to be
educated to the love for it, and, like to-
baccO and beer, it is first distasteful and
even nauseating but also like them
when once the taste is form ID it is not
easily surfeited. 1t probably tires the
taste less than any other confection,
and this accounts for its presence in
nearly all the candy that is sold to-day.
Chocolate is one of the most heaIthful
foods known, and in its pure state may
be used to an unlimited extent without
hurtful effects.
I'm Europe it has taken nearly half
century of unremitting labor on the
part of manufacturers to fairly estab-
liSh the public taste for chocolate, but
Americans take to it rapidly, and in fif-
teen years have learned to love it and
look upon it almost as a necessity of
life. The varieties of chocolate prepa-
rations are almost legion, for it enters
into the manufacture of both food and
drink.

PrfYY Council.

A meeting of His Majesty's Privy
Council of State was held at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at Iolani Palace.
A resolution was passed appropriating
the sum of $4,000 from the Public
Treasury for the relief of the sufferers by
the disastrous fire.
A pardon was granted Yuen Sing, a
Chinese prisoner in Oahu Jail He was
convicted at the Circuit Court, Lahaina,
in December last of having opium in
possession, on circumstantial evidence,
and fined $3.50 and $42 costs, and SEN
fenced to imprisonment at hard labor for
two months, one of which he has already
served.

SANITARY CONDITIONS OF DWELLING
HOUSES.

We are authorized by the President of
the Board of Health to state that he, as
President, desires to call the attention of
all citizens to the law of 1880, Chapter
III, "To provide for the sanitary condi-
ton of dwelling-houses and their sur
roundings." This Act provides that
every tenement used or occupied as
dwelling for dodgers or contract laborers
shall be kept in good repair, and shall
have the capacity of not less than three
hundred cubic feet of space for each
adult, or nine hundred cubic feet for one
man and woman and two children.
Section provides that the yards and
grounds about all dwellings shall be well
drained and kept free from rubbish OF
every description, with a closet or privy
for every six adults. The penalty under
these sections is a fine not exceeding
$50.
Section is as follows: every person
who shall keep his dwelling in so filthy
8 state as to be a nuisance or injurious
to health, or who shall refuse or neglect
may have caused or placed in the vicin-
ity of the dwelling he occupies, or any
other dwelling, or shall commit any
nuisance in any stream or thoroughfare
shall, upon conviction, pay a fine not
exceeding So, or be imprisoned at hard
labor for any term not exceeding thirty
days."
Under this law the Board of Health
has large powers, and it is the intention
to enforce its provisions. 1t will there
fore be evident that owners of land in
the district recently swept by fire must
erect buildings which will conform to the
sanitary regulations of the Board of
Health, or render themselves liable to
prosecution and fine. Of the $4,000
voted by the Privy Council as an emer-
gency fund for the relief of sufferers by
the fire, $4,000 will be applied to the
erection of frame buildings for the ma
tives who were burned out, and of whom
there are $50 persons. These houses
will be erected under the supervision Of
the Board of Health, and will serve as
model buildings. Inspectors are to be
appointed to enforce the sanitary regula-
tons of the Board, and will be required
to compel a rigid adherence to the re-
quirements of the law as to cubic air,
yard space, overhanging balconies, and
other matters which were disregarded
by the Chinese in their late quarters.

by the lessees, were to revert TO BIessrs. /
Macfarlane & Co., on the expiration of
the leases two to three years hence. A
frame building ON Hotel street belonging
to the same estate was pulled down to
prevent the fire spreading towards the
International restaurant and a building
occupied by Gonsalves & Co., on the OPP
Posite side of the street. Both of these pre-
misses were insured in the Sun Fire Office
the building torn down was uninsured.
The fire having begun to burn fiercely in
the rear of Castle & Cookies premises
the International Hotel Restaurant build
ing was Quilted and the verandah pulled
down to prevent its ignition. Being
stone building with slate roof it stayed
the progress of the flames and saved
Fort street. The damage to the Inter
national Hotel building, and its con-
dition otherwise at the time of the fire,
will render it no longer habitable, prac-
tically resulting in total loss The in
surance was small, being only s., 800 on
the building.

Peculiar Optical Illusion.
IExchange.l

A contributor to Cosmos says that if
there be cut out of black paper two
similar figures, two crosses for example,
their extremities almost touching, at
about three inches from the eyes before
a sheet of white paper there will be seen
three crosses, the middle one being dark
and completely separate. This phenome
non is explained by the simultaneous
vision of the two eyes, and it is easy to
show this by looking at the objects sue
cessiyely with one eye. The experiment
becomes still more interesting when,
instead of black figures, we employ com
Elementary colors-red and green, for
example In this case we must use a
dark background, and there will appear
a white cross in the middle.

gn1ss1onarr Work in Africa.
IChicago Timss.l


Stanley, the celebrated explorer of
the - dark continent" was a few
months ago invited by a society for
spreading the Gospel in the benlghted
regions Of Africa, to give his views in
relation to the qualifications of the men
who should be selected as missionaries.
He stated that they should Dc persons
of excellent health, of strong eonstitu-
tons, possessed Of large stock Of COM
mon sense and of considerable knowl-
edge of medicine and surgery. He re-
marked that they would find it much
less difficult to introduce any form of
Christianity than to induce the natives
to abandon their own barbarous Gus
toms and adopt those common to civil
lied communities, and said the changes
from barbarous to civilized life were
made very slowly by any people.
The truth Of the statements OF the
renowned traveller have been verified by
some recent accounts received from the
countries near the Brass river. Some
English missionaries visited this section
of Africa few years ago, and We're
very successful in making converts.
Every native prince and most of the
mobiles became converted and Joined the
church. The nobility and gentry being
secured, it was an easy matter to gather
in the common people. In few months
all the people were good Christians, at
least as good as could reasonably be
expected in Africa.
All the wealthy men, however, in
sisted on having plurality of wives.
The missionaries concluded that it
would not be best to disturb the old
marriage relations, but they informed
the men that they could not marry
more wives after they had joined the
church. The result was that every man
of means married from five to twenty
girls just before he presented himself
for admission into the church. The eff
feet of the introduction of Christianity
was to temporarily increase polygamy,
but with view to its final extinction.
