GUARDING THE PUBLIC HEALTH
Ways and Means for Pre- venting Bacterial
Disease.


Disease.
For the effective prevention Of bac-
terial disease two sets of forces must
act in concert: First, the people must
know wherein the great sources of
danger lie, and that by simple, intelli-
gent cleanliness these sources OF dam
ger may be largely sealed. 1t requires
only moderate degree of intelligence,
and the mastery of only a small do
main of fact, TO make each person a
most useful agent in this new crusade
against disease; nor is it necessary that
such knowledge and such helpfulness
should involve much or sustained atten-
ton. Ours has been aptly enough called
IAN age of pitiless enlightenment"
but IL now and then, at the dictates of
Hygeia, I'VE must lend attention TO the
bald, gruesome dangers which crowd
in menace upon our path, surely she is
cruel only TO be kind. The cleanli-
ness which hygeia demands to-day is a
little cleaner, that is all, than that
which has been hallowed these many
years. 1t is only necessary TO be a lit
tie more discriminating regarding the
pedigree Of dirt, and TO realize that
dirt from infectious sources can kill.
But the fact that his danger of ac.
quiring infectious disease comes to the
citizen largely from without his walls,
and from sources which he cannot
directly control, leads us to the second
and greater force which must be
brought TO bear IL we are TO enter into
and retain our resorted inheritance
that is, TO the individual and concerted
action OF 10 cal health boards. These
organized bodies of men devoted to the
interests OF the public health must now
add TO the powers which they have
welded so long and so well the
weapons won from the new knowledge.
To see TO it that water supplies are
kept unpolluted; that human waste is
safely disposed Of; that food supplies
are not derived from infectious sources;
that streets and other public places are
kept clean; that overcrowding in
schools, tenements, and lodging-houses
is not allowed; that proper measures OF
isolation, disinfection, and cleansing
shall be practised wherever infectious
disease occurs; that the citizen may be
intelligently counseled whenever in
doubt about his sanitary surroundings,
or coerced TO cleanliness when ignor-
antly or wantonly at fault-these are
some Of the tasks which rest in the
hands Of local health authorities, and
upon whose intelligent and faithful
execution our immunity from infection
so largely depends.
But while these tasks are deputed by
the citizens to his agents in the health
department, he should not forget that
such officers must be men carefully
chosen for their fitness, experience and
special knowledge, and not from the
fotsam and jetsam Of the political
ocean, from which too often strange,
uncouth things are stranded in Offices
where misfeasanoe may mean death "a
some, disease TO many.-Dr. T. Mitchell

STEVENS EXPLAINS.
Why He Established prsfec.
fOrafe Over Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is Among the
detailed dispatches received at the
State Department from Honolulu is
one from Minister Stevens, giving an
interesting account of the reasons
which governed him In assuming
control of the islands 1t is as fol
lows:
II have time before the departure
of the mail steamer only to state
briefly the additional reasons which
caused US to assume a temporary
protectorate over these islands. The
Provisional Government must have
time to organize new policy and to
discipline small military, for when
the monarchy died by its own hand,
there was no military force in the
islands but the Royal Guard, con-
sisting of about seventy-five natives
There are 10000 Chinese and japan
csc on the islands, and vil-disposed
persons might stir up some disorder,
bat the chief element of evil is in
Honolulu, where renegade whites are
at the head of the lottery and opium
rings, and where there are a consid-
cradle number of hoodlum foreigners
and more vicious natives. Another
important reason is that there is ex-
pected here British war vessel, and
the British Minister, thus aided,
might try to press unduly the Provi-
sional Government. With the islands
under our protection we think the
English Minister will not attempt to
insist that his Government has the
right to interfere while our flag flies
over the Government building"
In concluding the dispatch Minis
ter Stevens says: 1--WE shall continue
to maintain our present position with
great caution and frmness until we
hear from the President through the
Secretary of State. AS necessary
precaution against all contingency, 1
would advise that Admiral Skerrett
be promptly sent here with one or
two ships in addition to the Boston,"

THOSE BAND BOYS.
They Expect to Make a Fortune
on Their Own Account.

They Expect to Make a Fortune
on Their Own Account.
The ex-members of the Royal
Hawaiian Band expect their in
struments from the Coast by the
steamship Monowai on the 10th
inst. The thirty-four instruments
will cost $1,000, which sum has
been obtained chiefly through pri-
vate subscriptions by the many adj
mirers of the boys. Many of the
old band boys have gone to the
other islands on a vacation, and
expect to return to Honolulu in
time to receive their new instru-
ments. The boys say that when
their instruments come, they will
give free concerts for the benefit of
the six warships now in port, and
hope that these national vessels
will not leave Hawaiian waters be-
fore the arrival of their new pieces,
as they would miss a promised
treat.
Joseph Libornio, the author of
the "Liliuokslani March," has ac-
cepted the leadership of the boys
at moderate salary. Mr.. Libor-
Mo has had a musical education
in his own country.
The boys do not know at present
what name to give to their organi-
cation. They expect to be able to
raise sufficient amount to be en-
abled to go to Chicago during the
coming Columbian Exposition.
The boys have stood out longer
than expected, as they have been
out from the Hawaiian Band now
fully a month, with no signs of
going back. Their reserve fund
was larger than expected. They
say that they would rather form
band of their own and do a little
outside work than earn starvation
wages as the Hawaiian Band.
The boys are evidently still suf-
fering from their old ailment, "big
head" but it is to be hoped that
they will be taken back into the
fold before they starve to death.

STATIONS BAD BREAK
AN AMERICAN NAVAL OFFICERS
UNWARRANTED ACT.
The Admiral of the American Squadron
Mt Rio Relieved of His Command
for Saluting the Rebel Adj
miraPs Flag.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-A cablegram
from Berlin printed this morning stated
that dispatch to the Nord Deutsche
Zeitung. from Rio de Janeiro, said the
American naval commander exchanged
visits and salutes with Admiral Meilo of
the insurgent feet. Secretary Herbert
was 10th to believe the statements ere
correct and expressed his doubts. II
Admiral Stanton merely exchanged an
ordinary unofficial visit on business mat
ters with Admiral Mello, the secretary
would not have been surprised, nor
probably would he have taken any fur
ther notice of it, as it is said at the navy
department this would not be improper,
but the secretary saw at once the seri-
GUS and unfortunate nature OF the re-
ported action by Admiral Stanton, and
how it might be construed by the lawful
government Of Brazil. He, therefore,
lost no time in promptly cabling to Rio
de Janeiro for oil the facts in the case.
He received reply from Admiral Stan
ton stating this officer saluted the flag
of Admiral Mello, commanding the in
surgent fleet.
The salute was unauthorized by any
instructions the admiral received. 1t is
an unfriendly act to friendly power,
and the secretary of ths navy, after con-
sulting with the president and the sec
rstary of state, iseued an order detach-
ing Admiral Stanton from the command
of his equadron, and turning it over to
Captain Picking, the next officer in
rank.
Secretary Herbert expresses surprise
that en- officer of Admiral Stanton ex-
perience and standing should commit
such blunder, and his prompt action
WAS taken with the purpose of announce
ing to the world that the United States
government has taken no steps to refuse
recognition to the legally constituted
Brazilian government.

women broke through the linee, and at
the risk of their necks rushed up to the
carriages and kissed the hands extended
by the Russian officers, while the multi
tude kept up a continual FIRE of cheers
for the czar and Russia. The visitors
were overwhelmed with presents, in

A VICTIM OF OVERWORK
NATHAN STRAUSS PUTS A BULLET
In HIS BRAIN.
He Was Prominent Drygoods Manager
and His Suicide Has Created q
Great sensatiop In
New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Nathan Strauss,
local manager of the Levi Strauss dry
goods house OF San Francisco. shot him
self in his private Office this morning.
He was in good health, end as far as can
be learned, happy. He had we'll
balanced disposition, was married and
lived in the Grenoble fats, Fifty-seventh
street, where with several children and
wife he was always supposed to be
comfortable and happy. The cause of
the suicide, so far is wrapped in mystery.
In the office this morning there was the
greatest diemay end confusion.
''Can you aseign any cause for the
suicide ?' was asked OF She chief clerk.
"0h well, no, don't know of any,"
''Nas Strauss in any financial diff
culties ?'
'..Not that know OF"

''And he was in good health ~
"Oh, yes; excellent"
More than this the clerk would not
diyulge. At the Office of the attorney OF
Strauss il was eaid there was every rea-
eon to believe the latter's financial af-

prosperous condition.
When Strauss reached his office at the
usual hour this morning he greeted the
clerks pleasantly as usual. After glanc-
ing at his mail he walked back to room
in the rear. Several porters who were
working near the room found Strauss in
an unconscious condition. There was q
terrible wound in his temple. In the
aight hand he firmly grasped pistol.
Strauss was of an extremely nervous
temperament. 1t is said he had no bus
iness trouble but had been more than
usually busy during the last five months.
The only reason his friends assign is
that his mind became unbalanced from
overwork. He was prominent in the
dry goods district and soon after the
shooting the offices of the firm were
crowded with inquiring merchants. The
domestic life of Strauss is said to have
been happy. He leaves two children.
Strauss was removed from his Office to
the hospital where he died shortly after
noon.
