About half way between the two
settlements, which are tTO miles
apart, the party inspected the two
new reservoirs, which are uOv fin
isbsd, and supply an abundance Of
the very best and pursst water. The
reservoirs are carefully and tightly
covered with corrugated iron, and an-
cess Co the inside In under lock and |
key, 40 that 10 In impossible for Ispers |
or others TO battle I'm them. The water /
supply In carried ~ Kalaupapa |
through iron pipes. New and larger
piping In now being laid down, and i
faucets will be placed In many places,
so that there will be a wide dlstrib1-
ton Of water.
The party visited DIR. G0tlJs sanst-
arium, where he IL treating by his OWL 1
special methods. The patients appear
ed To be improving, but that a perLnsn-
ent cure OF the disease can be Affected
by his method, IA far from being set-
tied. The experiment IL Ar expensive
one, but, perhaps, justified By the /
mysteries Of the disease.
On arriving AZ Kzl2Zz0, SOME d the !
party were surprised az the connforEs-
Die and neat appearance Of the Bald
win Home" The little cottages are :
built on three aides ~ a sfs12rs con {.
tanning, perhaps,.6Ve acres. They ara
admirably adapted 20 the Eses for
are only five beds In each cottage, and I
1t stands by itself, surrounded with Its {
little plots Of shrubs and nOEers. The =
square or plaza was AZ DIE time al III i
slightly place, but the rocks have been =
taken out Of IL and rather imposing
stone pyramid constructed In the cen
ter Of 1t out Of these rocks. From the
Of the pyramid, fountain IL
water plays. The plaza itself Is now 7
covered with dense growth Of mamie
ME grass. The tool house, kitchen,
bath houses, and other outbuildings
are kept with neatness.
Three OF the Franciscan Sisters have I;
charge Of the Home, and they are as q
sisted by w. Duncan, Roman Cath
bic, an American born in Vermont, q
and a singular example OF patience
Industry, organizing power and faith. =
The Sisters carry on their work =
quietly, intelligentIy and sconomi-
ally. II is evident that they over
work themselves, and should have
assistance. The Board Of Health fully
appreciates their services, and il will

On returning TO kalaupapa, the

lie people find some recreation, and
so the new hall, for the same pur- ?
Ose, built through the generosity o.
lr. G. y. Wilcox The physicians Of
&c Board made, during the afternoon,
me careful examinations Of peculiar
Lses.
Lunch was served at the he4dguar-
- Of the Board, and Immediately
forwards Mr.. w. .. Smith, az AttOr- =
ey-General, had . conference with =
e native owners OF small bits OF land, q
altered about the settlement which

'ssession of these parcels, by those

tive owners full value for their
