TOPICAL TALK.

What Is the With all our talk
about ia grippe" and
New with all our experience
with the annoving cpl
Matady demlc, it is yet grave
question whether there
has been any influenza in this country.
We call it Russian influenza and Paris
sian la grippe because we know it to be
the same disease that has so recently
swept over Russia and France. but the
Partisan doctors have about reached the
conclusion that they diagnosed the cpl
dem0ic incorrectly. DrS ProuSt and
Legroux, two of the most eminent
French physicians, have published
papers i'll which they concur in the
opinion that the prevailing malady is
more akin to dengue, or the Syrian
break-lone fever, than it is to the intlu-
eRZa, or ''la grippe" which prevailed
in Paris in 1S47 Dengue is a
disease supposed to be peculiar
to warm climates, while la grippe has
its origin i'll the Arctic circle. Dengue
has been rife in Syria for nearly a year,
and has extended over the shores of the
Mediterranean and northward in South
ern Russia. 1t is possible that la grippe
started from its Arctic home about the
rival III Central Europe, the two pooled
issues and developed the new malady,
which las some Of tine characteristics of

often by rash upon the person. The
seizures are always sudden, the first

known by-brtak-bOne fever. 1t is of
but little consequence to the layman
which family the prevailing epidemic
belongs to so long aS the doctors are
able to treat it successfully. The
French faculty agree with our own that
10 alarm need be felt over the manifold
dscomforls of the epidemic if ordinary
precautions are taken and the rest and
retirement which all doctors urge care

exposure after the disease has laid hold

ton which Invariably accompanies an
attack makes itself felt, and to take
risks in such condition is to invite an

agree that a relapse is much more dam

it to public view just at the time her
husbands eldest brother was lying in
his coffin. 1t was most inappropriate
time for her to revive the subject of her
proposed divorce, and had SO much the
air OF theatrical advertisement, the
American people will be disposed to let
her alone in the future. There was
tine when popular sympathy was alto
gether with the junior Mrs. Blaine, but
recent events are rapidly changing
public sentiment. There is yet no
reason TO cohd0ne the shortcomings of
the scapegrace OF young husband
who deserted his wife and child, but
there is a growing suspicion that the
elder members of the Blaine family had
good cause for their neglect of the de-
serted wife. Certainty young Mrs.
Blaine's conduct in this instance will
not have tendency to stem the swell
ing tide of prejudice that is setting in
against her. Inc wrongs of the young
er son are surely no pro,ocation for an
Insult to the other members of the fam
lily while they were bowed iii grief over
the bier OF their dead.

The Hawaiian Hotel.

Extensive alterations have been made
in the billiard room and bar of the Ha:
waiian Hotel recently. The floor has
been covered with linoleum of neat pat.
tern, the billiard tables have all been
moved and put in place again after a
thorough overhauling. The entire cell.
ing has been frescoed in the latest style
of art, and handsome and costly pictures
have been hung on the walls. The
establishment in this department is very
neat and complete in its appointments
which are of a first-class character. The
MONDAY lunch at this place attracts a
large attendance, and the bill of fare en-
braces many delicacies, all finely served
by attentive walters, and the only charge
is twenty-five cents. Private lunch
rooms are provided for those who require
them. At the bar the choicest brands
of imported and other liquors, and the
finest lines in cigars are to be had. Mr..

veyor OF considerable executive ability,

In response to notice quite large
number of ladies met the Rev. Alex

for the systematic supplying of flowers
to the sick wards of the Queens Hos.

Vice President, Mrs. A. Fuller; Secre-

Hospital to receive them.
The organization will meet for bust

The Arions Celebrate.

Washington's birthday was celebrated
by the Honolulu Arions at their comfort
able hall Saturday evening. The inte-
rior OF the building was very lastly dec
grated for the occasion. In front of the
stage was a portrait of George Wash
lngton draped on either side with Amer
lean and German flags. All round the
hall were neat decorations OF flags and
evergreens. Between seventy and eighty
ladies and gentlemen were present and
dancing was INDUCED in to the strains OF
Mr.. Berger's string orchestra which did
capital service, as it always does on such
occasions. Refreshments were served,
and shortly before midnight the COM
pany sang the Star Spangled Banner,
Watch on the Rhine and Hawaii Ponoi.
The occasion was much enjoyed by all
present.

defects. That something must be speed
lily done in this direction is obvious. II
the four and fve-masters keep on loos-
ing their masts in gales that ordinarily
they should pass through in safety, the
underwriters will undoubtedly be chary
of taking risks on these vessels. Pre-
MUM rates will go up and this step,
more than anything else, will drive out
the new rig. But as it offers so much
more Of advantages than other rigs and
as orders for big schooners are increas-
ing, experts will certainly find a way out
of the difficulty and the charge that is
now brought against the four-masters
will fail for want of cause Maritime

Big SchOOnerG.

No vessels have proved SO profitable OF
late years as the big three and four
masted schooners. They give the carry
ing capacity of good sized oarks and
ships, without the expense of mainten-
ance of the square rugged vessels. They
are found to be fitted for almost any
trade and their voyages are made gener-
ally in good time, so that constant and
renumeratiye employment for them has
been considered certainty, When the
time of large wooden sailing ships seemed
TO be nearing the end, this new class OF
vessel suddenly opened the way for a
long lease OF lie for wood and sail and a
steady flow Of capital has lately sought
this class of investment. Ships larger
than any before launched will be built,
but not in great numbers. Small schoon-
ers suited for certain trades, will also
find purchasers, but the great sailing
vessel feet, in this country at least,
seems destined to be represented mainly
by the big four and five-masted schoon-
ers.
The success, however, that has at
tended upon those big fore and alters
has met with check. They are not the
luedl Sdl1ug VESSEL IIlab mas lODS De0u
believed. Their rig, admirable as it is,
and the cause of so much rejoicing
among builders of wooden vessels, is
now being regarded with suspicion. 1t
is considered to be dangerous, for it
has tendency to overspar the vessel
and to leave her at the mercy of the
seas in heavy gales. The masts are SO
long and comparatively so close together
that they are not held securely in place
by the standing rigging. The spread of
fore and aft sails is so great that in
heavy weather it has become problem
how to handle them successfully, and
the tendency of four and five-masted
schooners to part with their masts in
bad blows has lead to the conclusion
that there are some vital defects in this
rig that must be removed if it is to re-
main on big wooden vessels. Many
opinions are given to account for this
trouble with the big schooners, but there
are not many good suggestions yet forth
coming pointing to improvements that
will retain the rig, while removing its

About Our Fine Band.

At Emma square Monday evening oc-
Cured the 1,060th concert by the Royal
Hawaiian Band. That seems large
number but it is nothing when the con-
certs at the Palace, Hotel, Thomas
square and other places are counted in.
The concerts given for the King at the
Palace number, to date, $40; at the Ha-
waiian Hotel, 355; at Thomas square,
SO; at the departure of steamers, PAS.
This makes total of 2,459 concerts, but
does not include those given at the
Queens Hospital, Insane Asylum, Immi-
grafton Depot, serenades, receptions,
funerals, pafades, baseball and cricket
matches, postofice, etc. If all were
counted what big total there would be.
Mr.. Berger keeps record of the con-
certs mentioned above and it is one that
he can point to with pride. There are
very few bandmasters who do more
faithful work than Mr.. Berger, and in
return for it he can rest assured that his
band is hard to beat.

the prevalence of lunacy The writer
has made a specially of the subject,
and publishes series of tables covering
admissions to the asylums for a series of
months, in conjunction with analyses
made by himself of thousands of samples
of milk used in the district whence the
lunatic came. From these tables he
proves, to his own satisfaction at least,
that the use of bad milk is a fruitful
source of lunacy.
