or are openly opposed to protective
measures.
The whole trouble, however,
seems to be in taking the first
steps towards segregation. At this
point the chief opposition arises,
which gives the authorities 90
much perplexity and vexation.
After the unfortunate sufferers are
once removed to Kalaupapa, the
government finds but little oppo-
sition.
The humane treatment of these
unfortunate wards of the govern
ment" is one Of the foremost causes
of success at this point. The
fact has been lately illustrated
during the investigations carried
on by the committee of the board
of health at the settlement. After
public notice of two weeks had
been given by the proper authori-
ties for the re-examination of lepers,
only two, out of 1854 at the settle
ment, presented themselves before
the examiners. And it is stated
to be an actual fact that those
showing the least signs of the ter
rible affliction will offer excuses
rather than appear before the ex-
aiming board, when they think
they may stand chance of being
removed from the easy and COM
Portable life tLey lead at Kalau-
papa.
Such a state of contentment
speaks very highly for the policy
and management of the present
beard of health, as matters at the
settlement have not always been in
so satisfactory a condition.
We are not of the opinion of
some that the least said of leprosy
the better. There might have been
grounds for such a view in the past,
but there are certainly none now.

IT is quite evident that the
stream of travel towards the great
Columbian Exposition has fairly
set in, and that the three lines of
ocean steamers viii be taxed to
their utmost capacity to meet the
demands of tourists. The Austria
liza carried away over two hundred,
the Monowai over three hundred,
and each following steamer will be
full for four or five months to come.
1t is possible that this stream of
travel once diverted from the old
beaten tracks to the new route via
Honolulu, may keep on and require
the employment of larger and
swifter vessels than those now in
the service. Travel and trade are
on the increase in other quarters
and will increase here, provided
the facilities are equal to the de-
mand.

Friendship Between a Horse and a Dog.

Friendship Between n Horse and Dog.
A plumber at Narragansett had a horse
81 years old, which was used for carry
ing around his masters material when
that was necessary, but spent most OF its
time in a small pasture. a fox terrier
also belonging to the plumber, was an in
separable companion Of the old horse
When the old horse was harnessed to the
cart the dog was on guard to see that
nothing was stolen from the cart. In
the pasture the dog was always shifting
around the horse and was never so de-
lighted as when the horse would begin to
roll in the grass, which it often did. APP
parently to please the dog, which would
jump about in every direction and bark
for pure joy.
At night when the horse was put in the
barn the dog always entered with its
friend and slept on the animals body.
One day the neighbors heard the most
dismal howls coming from the pasture
and found that the old horse had died.
There was the terrier on the dead body
bowling out its sorrow and misery. The
dog remained with the body until it was
removed for burial.-New York Tribune.

IS 1T GENUINE?
Il Rare Greek Coin Bought of a
Portuguese.

n marc OTceR COiu Bought Oh q
Portuguese.
Yesterday M. D. f. Sanford
brought rare and old coin to this
office that had been bought by Mr..
J. A. Macguire of a Portuguese
about a week ago.
The coin was submitted to DR.
Hyde, who is of the opinion it is
genuine, and was probably made
from 400 to so years before
Christ. He thinks that the coin
was probably brought here by some
of the Greek or Arab peddlers who
have sometimes visited Honolulu.
The piece is of silver and nearly
resembles the cut of the well-lnown
coin of Antiochus the Great, FAM
liar to classical students. 1t differs
from that coin, however, by having
a figure of Astarte, or the Syria
Dea, on one side and the profile OF
one of the kings of Syria on the OBJ
verse. 1t bears Greek inscription
meaning king Antiochus." The
coin IS for sale.

A clever continuance has been invent
ed for the detection of small pieces OF

a rocket LILO Saving Apparatus.

In 1874 Lieutenant Brunei of Dieppe
introduced his pocket life saving lines of
which already upward of $3.50 are being
used in France, where they now rescue
annually some 295 lives. Nevertheless
these admirable inventions are almost
unknown in our empire. Brune's small
pocket line consists of a wooden float,
round which some 80 feet of stout cord
is wound. The other end Of the cord
terminates in an efficient grapnel armed
with four small hooks. The whole ap-
paratus complete weighs only five
ounces and is the most convenient of all
life saving lines Hence urge its adop
ton everywhere, especially for officials
and others engaged about our coasts ana
inland waters. These appliances could
be proftably retailed for about Is. Cd
each, and any one can make them.-Lon

THE LEPERS.
rnand.

The mild, but firm, policy which
the board of health already init
mates will be carried out in regu
lating matters at the leper settle
ment, is the proper one to follow.
We remember that for the past ten
or more years the question of the
treatment Of lepers has been con-
sidered of grave Importance by
succeeding legislatures, and much
discussion has always resulted.
But, while the matter has generally
been thoroughly talked over, it
seems to have never been settled.
This may have been owing to dila-
tory action on the part of each
succeeding board of health, or from
other causes.
Be this as it may, the present
board shows a disposition to take
this question, among others, by
the horns" and place itself upon
record with a policy which should
have been followed long ago. The
matter of segregation is one of the
things upon which a firm stand
should be taken. Once the policy
is decided upon it should be car
ried out bravely and fearleesly. 1t
is believed the present board will
do its duty here as at other points.
Our native residents are open to
the greatest danger from the effects
of apathy in carrying out the Sc
gregation law. They should, there
fore, be the first to uphold the gov
eminent in its endeavors to stamp
or at least control. this dread

WHOSE IS TIP
Rival Claimants TO the Paternity of
1.-The Ruined Abbey.''

Rival claimants TO the Paternity of
''The Ruined Abbey
The squaoble over the authorship of the
play that is shortly to be produced at the
Clunie Opera-house has begun to agitate
the San Francisco papers. The Post last
evening had the following on the subject:
"Quite an interesting controversy is
under way in Sacramento between Will
lam Haley and }. ID. Moynahan. MIR.
HALEY is the author of quite an accept
able play, entitled Nick tioyd.' While
he was constructing this drama Mr.. Moy-
nahan, who runs night school in that
town, wrote what he believed to be p
clever story based upon an extremely
grim and ghostIy Irish legend. 1t was
ponderous AS to phrase, wildly tangled
AS 10 construction and raying mad as to
plot and purpose.
Mr.. HALEY had shown skill in dra-
matte work and IN an unwise moment, at
the earnest solicitation OF Moynahan, he
entered upon the heavy task of mauling
the story into shadowy imitation OF Al
four-aCt irish drama. The building OF
the St. GOthard tunnel was a light and
pleasant recreation compared with Hal
ley's task, but he did manage TO hammer
a ray OF sense into it, giving IL the title OF
The Ruined Abbey.
For all Of this heroic work Moyna-
han now shows his gratitude by publish
ing card in a Sacramento paper, an
nouncng that Mr.. Haley never wrote
six lines Of his play. Its needless to say
that if there Is any merit in The Ruined
A bbey' HALEY placed 1t there, for before
he touched il the affair was merely con-
glomeration OF words OF learned lengths
and thund'rous sound thrown together
in a wild aud crazy tangle."

advance their own interests or the inter-
ests of the public. If no man accumu-
lated vast fortunes and spent them tor the
public good, there would be no great en-
terprises, such as railroads, in which is
wrapped up the material property of the
country. We knew Leland Stanford long
and intimately. Rich and powerful as he
was, be was never the man to ignore his
less fortunate friends.
Gridley Herald: He was not content to
do anything in any other than a large
way. He was one of the notable captains
of industry who, in the formative period
of the country, performed at great risk
and with great labor tasks of the first
magnitude, which were essential to its
development and prosperity. Fortune
be wooed and won. He had the rare
wisdom to administer his estate in the in
terest Of the public as he conceived those
interests to be in his lifetime, and he de-
rived the greatest pleasure from seeing
the progress and completion of his plans.
Colusa Herald: Without doubt the
Leland Stanford Jr. University will be
the most enduring monument of Gov
ernor Stanford's merits as a man and
philanthropist. Even at this early day
no person ever visits California without
looking in at the university at Palo Alto,
and in the years to come, when the mag
nificent endowment has come to full
Alto are covered with the contemplated
structures Of the home of learning, there
is no saying that the university will not
be the chief attraction among California's
many points of interest.
Santa Barbara Press: He was not alone
known for his great wealth, but for his
energy in enterprises that helped greatly
to develop the resources Of the State, and
to promote the educational interests of
the youth of California in an Institution
of learning that will be lasting mOnu-
ment to his name.
Santa Barbara Independent: If the dead
man leaves any enemies. they must con
cede that he has given ample proofs of a
good heart and heart that beat in uni
son with his fellow-men. Many will
recollect his philanthropic disposition,
ever ready to assist and advise those in
need of either.

friends, but the entire State, has cause to
mourn the death of Senator Leland Stan

Although Mr. Elount followed the
usual custem in calling the meeting, he
stopped there and did not grace the
gathering with his presence, as other
American Ministers have done. 1t was
expected that Mr.. Blount would preside
at the meeting, but instead he sent word
that he was unable to attend.
Consul-General Severance made ex-
cuses for the Minister and called the
meeting to order. Long years Of prece-
dent have educated the Americans here
to the idea that it is one of the duties of
the American Minister to preside at the
Fourth of July meeting, and many of
them holly resent Mr.. Bloupts apparent
Indifference to an established American
custom.
Ihey can only talk, however, for they
do not even have the satisfaction of voic-
ing their complaints in the local news
papers. The latter are held in check by
the Government, which in some manner
has obtained the impression that Mr..
Blount, has espoused the royalist
cause, and does not wish him to become
more biased in his opinions than he
now is.
The Government claims to have au-
thentic information that Mr. Blount,
with the exception of few brief state
inents, has not yet made a report 10 the
State Department at Washington as to
the result of his Investigations here, and
! that tho will I, e

NO INSTRUCTIONS TO THURsToN.
The Government has decided to do
nothing further in the matter of treaty in
structions to Minister Thurston until in

to the result of his interview with Presi-
dent Cleveland about Hawaiian affairs.
A special steamer arrived June 18th
from Japan with over LOO Japanese con-
tract laborers, brought here to work on
the sugar plantations. They have all
been spoken for by various planters and

Claus Spreckels has been accused of
Offering to purchase arms for the royal
lists, and extra guards will be posted at
1 outside ports to prevent their being
landed. II the Government ascertains
that the information is correct Spreckels
is likely to receive some harsh treatment.
At meeting of the Executive and Ad-
vlsory Councils this afternoon Minister of
Finance Damon presented a financial
statement showing that since January
18th last, when the Provisional Govern
lnent went into power, the national debt
had been reduced by nearly S400, 900. Mr..
Damon went on to show how the United
States would incur no liabilities in the
way Of Hawaiian national debt in the
event of annexation.
he showed that during the past five
years the customs duties on goods i'm
ported from countries other than the
United States, averaged $780, $50 a year.
This sum multiplied by twenty, the mum
Der Of years the Hawaiian bonds have to
run, makes a total income from duties

for twenty years will pay the interest on
