ALCOHOL IN THE ARCTIC.
Liquor Sold to Natives of the Siberian
Coast.

Liquor Sold to Natives of the Siberian
T. Coast.
OoNALAsKA, October 20th.-An
article appeared recently in San
Francisco paper in regard to the
sale of alcohol by the whalemen to
the natives of Northern Alaska. A
report from a committee of the
Honolulu Legislature was appen-
ded, in which the statement was
made that FIVE thousand odd gal
Ions of alcohol had been shipped on
the American whaling ships bound
to Alaska.
This item was brought to the
notice of Capt. Healy (U. S. S. Bearl
by the Chronicle representative.
The captain said: "There is no
doubt that this amount of liquor was
taken by the whalemen from
Honolulu but that any of it
was either given or sold,
to the Esquimau of Northwest
Alaska is utterly false. The hquor
was disposed of by the whalers and
traders to the Siberian coast ma
tives. The whalemen make no
secret of the sale. and as 1 have
caused every whaling and trading
vessel to be thoroughly searched
during the past season in the Arc
tic, | am convinced that no liquor
was landed on United States terri
tory. The only vessel upon which
liquor was found was the bark
Helen Mar, and the stuff was
dumped overheard.
Further, the traders had no OBJ
ject to bring alcohol. or indeed any
article, to the United States pos
sessions in Arctic Alaska. The past
season was disastrous for the ma
tiyes. They caught no whales, furs
were extremely scarce, and conse-
quently they have nothing to ex-
change with the ships. Unless the
owners of the whaling feet agree
with their masters that no alcohol
or rum shall be traded with the
natives on the Siberian shores, l
am powerless to stop the traffic.
The authority of the revenue
marine does not extend outside of
due limits, but l assert that more
liquors are landed in southwestern
Alaska in one month than the
whalers and traders dispose of in
the season in the Arctic. 1t would
be an easy matter for the Honolulu
authorities to pass a law limiting
the amount of alcoholic liquors that
each whaler or trader could take
on board, and In this way an end
might be put to the traffic"

THE November mortuary report
Of the agent of the Board of Health

THE November mortuary report
of the agent of the Board of Health
will be found in another column.
The registered deaths for the
month were thirty-fve against an
average Of forty-nine for the same
month in the four previous years,
showing that the past month was
comparatively healthy period.
OF these thirty-fve deaths, more
than two-thirds, or twenty-three
were Hawaiians, and twelve were
foreigners, including eight Chinese
and Japanese. Thus thirty-one Of
the entire number were Hawaiians,
Chinese and japanese, and only
four Europeans, while among
Americans not single death was
reported. Twelve are reported as
having died without medical at
tendance. A more disheartening
picture could hardly be furnished.
Looking at these statistics in the
most favorable light that we can
they show the rapid decline of the
native race, and suggest that some
thing might be done to seek out
the sick and dying among them,
and do whatever can be done to
alleviate their sutferings and aid
their recovery. Christian charity
demands that some special efforts
be made in behalf of our Hawaiian
population, even if some organiza
ton be required to maintain and |
carry them into effect. 1t may be |
answered that Hawaiians prefer to
be treated by their own native
doctors, in whom many place i'm
plIcit confidence. This may be so
in some, perhaps in many instances,
but that would not forbid the
bestowal of many of the little acts
of charity and intelligent nursing,
which often assist the patient to
recover from sickness. This GER
talnly is a matter which should
enlist the sympathies of all, with
out regard to creed or nationality.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1890-12-09

that the act may be suspended in
case labor convention is made
with China.
The provisions of the act are not
so difficult of observance here. 1t
is question, however, whether the
Chinese will consent to the terms
of the permits. If they do not the
act will wholly fail of it's intended
effect, and will not relieve the labor
market.

through the snow, after which the
command and the wagon train fol-
lowed. All day long we toiled on
through the snow, helping horses and
wagons out of. the deep drifts In the
hollOws where they had broken through.
With all the push we were capable
of exerting, it was far IN the night
when we arrived at the new camping
ground. Our camp was situated IN a
grove of young spruce and blackberry,
surrounded with a growth Of large
timber. A high hill extended around
US on three sides, while on the other
was a good stream Of water. The
place was well located for defensive
purposes, should we be attacked by the
Indians, which was liable to occur at
any moment, and we prepared to give
them a warm reception.
As this was to be base of operations
for several days, we proceeded to build
shelters from the storm out Of the fir
trees that grow in abundance around
us.
While waiting for the snow to settle
we employed ourselves chiefly in hunt
ing, In which we were very successful.
After several days of warm sunshine,
the snow settled sufficiently for US to
proceed on our way, and after few
days march, into which a great variety
of adventures were crowded, we ar
rived safely at Camp Supply.

Dfamonds in Her Teeth.

About two years age an article ap7
peared in a jewelers. magazine stating
that a New York belle had hired a den
list to set q diamond filling in a sound
tooth IN order to add a seeming luster
to heE already dazzling teeth. Many
other newspapers took the matter up,
and for a while diamonds in the
teeth" was q subject Of much consider
alton
The truth of the matter has just
come 10 light. 1t appears that half
a dozen members of a prominent den
tai association had cOngregated In their
New York clubhouse, and were dis
cussing methods, means, and ways of
filling teeth. One Of the men present
was something Of a gosIin In his pro
fessiOn, and one of the older men de-
cided to give him sage stufing. As
matters went on and discussions arose
and dropped, the elder man remarked,
with a sly wink to his companions, that
he had received an extraordinary order
the previous day. In fact, he had filed
a beautiful wOman's front teeth with
small diamonds.
OF cOuEse his companions expressed
the greatest surprise at this new pro-
ceeding in dentistry, and the goslin in
question seemed much impressed with
this novel idea.
Shortly afterward the company
broke up, z9ut another question had
been asked and answered, 50 the mat
ter was forgotten long before they left
the club. A few days later the perpe-
traitor of the joke was surprised to see
an article IN one Of the newspapers
relative to the new fad young women
were adopting, that was having tiny
diamonds set In their front teeth
whether the teeth we're perfect or i'm
perfect
This was the origin of the "fake,
and In a short while the new fad was
talked Of all over the United States.
The truth has at last leaked out, and.
It is now known that no such thing
ever existed. The goslin discussed the
subject with a friend, who In turn re-
peated 1t to a reporter. The latter
wrote an article on the subject, and
then every one else discussed the mat
ter and believed it. So much for the
credulity Of the world.-Ne1y York
Press.

So he began rolling it out on a wheel

got good-sized pile, then they would
set it on fire. He would come with
another wheelbarrOw full and pile it in

on fire also. Finally, he came with just
one trunk on the barrow. The boys
took it, thanked him, and asked if
there were any charges on it. AS he

Mrs. W. Kellar, of this city, had the good
fortune, on the 18th day of April to be nO5i-
fed that she was the holder of a twentieth
of ticket number 21,3O3 of the Louisiana

of 100000, and last week she received a
sack of twenty dollar gold pieces from the
Lottery Company, amounting to $15, 600,
which she has deposited in the First Nation

asked about the good fortune, said, 81 have

decided to call Tor q regiment OF VOIun-
teers to drive out and punish these
bloodthirsty marauders. I, with many
others, joined In the adventure. In a
few weeks one thousand men, we'll
armed and mounted, were on their way
to the border.
After crossing the Arkansas, we were
on Indian hunting ground, and it be-
hOOved us to be ever vigilant against
an Indian surprise. Our wagon train
was kept closely doubled, while flank
ers were kept well out on either side of
the advancing column. Our carbines
hung loosely at our sides, ready for
instant service, while far in advance
several tCusty scouts were ever on the
alert for the wary foe.
Our progress was slow and tOilsOme,
as we iourneyed on beneath q bleak
November sky. Crossings had to be
made over the numerous streams, and
the deep loose sand in places made it
both wearisOme to man and beast.
Buffaloes by the tens of thousands
covered the plains in all directions, as
far as the eye could reach, busily en-
gagged feeding on the rich buffalo grass.
Hungry packs of wolves were seen
watching for an opportunity of making
a meal off of an unwary calf or an old
WORKOUT stag.
We were well out toward the CHM
AKRON River when the weather indi-
Gated that a snOwstOrm was near at
hand, and one night, while encamped
on Wolf Greek, it broke upon US, as
only a snOwstOrm on the plains can do.
BY morning a foot or more had fallen,
with no appearance of letting up. We
we'll knew that this was no place to
tarry in a storm, and early in the fore
noon the command was in motion, and
stretching away over the white expanse
spread out before us. Dreary and
desolate did the surrounding country
look to us, now clad in its winter rode.
Ali day long we continued to press
on through the fast-fallng snow, sew
eral times becoming lost and doubling
on our trail.
Toward evening we went into camp,
the snow having fallen to such depth
that further progress was almost i'm
possible. If the day had been dark
and cherries the prospect was that
the night would be still more 50. We
soon had huge fires burning, before
which we warmed ourselves and pre-
pared to pass the night. Large guam
titles of wood were gathered and set on
fire, so that our horses might not SUI
fer with the cold. These fires were
kept burning all night. The dark hours
wore away and the day dawned, with
the snow steadily falling, which was
now nearly three feet on the level. We
laid in camp all day, as the storm
showed no signs of ahsting. During
the day a few stray buffaloes came
near our camp. which were shot by
some Of the boys, and they proved a
!
lar ratzOns.
As wood and water were somewhat
scarce for a long continuance, in case
we were showed in, scouts we're sent
out to look up a better camping place.
A favorable site was found some ten
miles down the creek. It ceased snow
ing at night, and it was decided to
start for our new camp in the morning
Day broke fair and clear, and early in
the morning q strong pioneer corps
