The most lovely spot on Oahu is
Sans Souci. This favorite seaside
resort, which has been immortalized
by the pen Of Robert l.. Stevenson,
who resided there for months, is
only four miles from Honolulu and
within easy reach of the tramcars.
The surroundings and bathing at
this famous resort are superior to
anything found in the Hawaiian

But when its leading members one
day demanded the resignation of the
Board Of Health on account of the
alleged neglect of it's officers in al
lowing the cholera to get here, and
on the next day thanked the said
Board for doing the very same thing
and giving us every possible chance of
a new outbreak of cholera, we think
the members have outlived their
usefulness, and we say so intention
ally, and knowing the chances, which
we deliberately take, of losing the
patronage of the men who howl at
the Board of Health when they
don't act their sweet will, and who
humbly thank the same authority
when they, contrary to sound policy,
rub the back of the assembled wis
dom of the Chamber.

This is the resolution passed by
the Chamber OF Commerce yester-
day, and introduced by that great
admirer of the Board of Health,
Mr.. E. @. Macfarlane:
"Whereas, The captain of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company's
steamer China, under written in
structions from the San Francisco
agents of his company, declined to
take the mails from Honolulu, it
was the purpose of this Chamber to
request the Board of Health not to
submit to such unreasonable treat
ment, as the captain would be fur
nished with a clean bill of health
from this port; and
Whereas, The Board of Health
has taken the initiative to compel
the carriage of our mails,
therefore be il resolved, That
this Chamber approve of the action
OF the Board of Health and tender
its thanks for the protection given
the interests the Chamber repre-
sents."

TNplCs OF The DAY.

The Bulletin asks that the dredg-
ings from the mouth of Nuuanu
stream should "be we'll spread so ss
to have the benefit of the sunshine"
Also probably to let them spread in
the air. Where does the advantage or
disadvantage come in7 Is it better
to cover them up, or to let them out
in the sunshine and get in their
deadly work for the two hours
which DIR. Smith avouches they can
live exposed to the rays Of the sun.

questions of hygiene are the
main issues of the day. While
the learned scientists of Europe
are devoting their time and
skill to find remedies which
can destroy the disease breeding
germs, the diseases go on and
cholera, diptheria and typhoid
ravage cities and countries.
Whenever a disease becomes
epidemic it is because the germ
found conditions which suited
it and in which it felt at home
and ready for business. The
sanitary conditions Of the town
ando of the home becomes of
vital Importance. Honolulu is
having q taste of cholera cpl
demic and it behooves every
body to do his best in placing
every home in the best sanitary
condition possible.
When the general house-clean-
ing which will take place next
Monday is over, many house
keepers will find some house
hold furniture which needs re-
newal and others missing both
as to utility and convenience.
We call attention to-day to
our Oil Stoves. The "Dietz"
Stove which we carry in stock
has gained great reputation
everywhere. The one we espe-
cially recommend is the most
complete oil stove ever offered
in the market. 1t is perfectly
safe for the user of it, and it
will answer all purposes in a
well regulated household. Five
quarts of oil is sufficient to burn
ten to twelve hours. In ten
minutes half gallon water can
be boiled. 1t will fry and boil,
bake or broil at the same time.
You can boil potatoes and bake
biscuit at the same time. In
ten minutes you can broil a
steak to perfection, and in an
hour and a half you can roast
an eight-pound turkey. Once
tried the "Dietz" Oil Stove will
be found the very thing for the
housekeeper, and the price
brings it within the reach of
everybody.
The Water Coolers which we
have on hand are the very
things for restaurants, saloons,
schools and stores. After the
water is boiled fill the cooler
with it, and even without ice, it
will keep pleasant tempera-
ture. Large families will find
these highly ornamental coolers
of great advantage and a great
saving in regard to ice.

For once we can heartily agree
with the Advertiser. That journal
recommends the Council of State to
appropriate whatever money is re-
quired for the walling of the mouth
of Nuuanu stream. We cordially
state that in our opinion the mat
ter is within their province under
the constitution. An amount has
been appropriated by the Legisla-
ture. 1t is not sufficient. The pub
lie necessity land real one at that
requires further expenditure. Let
the Council of State authorize it.
The next Legislature will endorse it.

1t may be pertinent to ask the
Attorney General for the statutory
warrant for the action of the Minis
ter of Finance in borrowing money
and treating the loan as preferred
claim. We know the contempt
shown for personal rights by this
"best government these islands ever
had,' but we had supposed that the
rights of property would be care
fully guarded, as the government is
based upon property, rather than

A second thought upon the state
ment published by the Minister Of
Finance leads one to think that if
the credit of the Republic is so poor
that the bank of Bishop & Co. will
not loan the Government men $50, 900
without taking as security pre-
ferred claim upon the to be collected
taxes, that other creditors should
also take the precaution to give
notice OF intention to collect their
dues from the same source of re-
venue. "What is sauce for the goose

We have exchanged our mail COM
munications with the United States,
and the rest of the world, for over
half a thousand coolie immigrants
from an infected port. Whatever the
result may be-favorable or other
wise-the fact remains that, in the
eyes of the Board of Health and the
Chamber of Commerce, risk to the
life of the meanest individual on
the group is less in their eyes than
risk to trade-whether retail or
wholesale.

The Bulletin calmly urges that
naval and commercial reasons re-
quire the United States to have a
cable in the Pacific as an appanage
and executory arm Of the govern
ment. Possibly the United States
Government may differ with the
Bulletin. Possibly they may agree.
Whichever way comes one thing is
certain such a connection will not
be of as much benefit as annexation.

According to the Star the cost Of
walling in Nuuauu stream has ap-
palled the government fnanciers.
So they have decided to cut the
streams channel to the other side,
shift Smith bridge, and generally i'm
prove on the work of nature and of
man. IT'S possible they are right.
Also it might be the other way.
Yet on the direct result of their
labors and expenditures will hang
the public verdict as to their wisdom
and usefulness. Let us hope that
the results will justify the action.
We can do no more, for we don't
believe in the plan. AS for dropp-

Failure Of the Bond Syndicate to Protect the

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-The stock
trading today was about one-third less
than that Of the previous day, but the
course of prices was fully as irregular.
The dlstrib button of business was fair
with sugar, Tennessee coal, Atchison,
Burlington, St. Paul and Reading the

pathy with fractional declines in Ameii-
can stocks in London. Foreign dealers
were also selling off l.. & N. and Read
ing in this market. The apparent causes
of depression were the failures OF the gov
eminent bond syndicate to make good
the impairm emit of the treasury gold re-
serve below the 500, 900, 600 mark. and the
undated strength of the exchange mar
ket, winch was thought to foreshadow
further large exports of gold. Predic-
tons OF hardening tendency in money
rates were made, but attracted little atten-
tion, although slightly higher prices
were quoted later in the day for both call
and time money. The plethora of idle
permit of any scare on this point. Later
in the day the announcement of the dec
laration of the regular quarterly dividend
OF one half per cent on Manhattan and
of the recommendation of the payment of
the regular quarterly dividend of ~ per
cent on Western Union by the executive
committee helped to make tirmer tone.

A New Method of Refrigerating
Fruits in Transit
A VERY GREAT SAVING IN ICE
Applicable to One Car or to Whole
Trains
Estimate of Yield of Deciduous Fruits for the
Present Year-A Fair Quantity
and Good Quality

The Telegraph OF Macon, Ca, descri bes
an invention which is an application of
the cold storage system OF refrigeration
to freight cars. The invention consists
OF sprocket wheel attached to the car
axle. The endless chain on the sprocket
wheel operates on a sprocket wheel at
tached to lateral shaft hung from the
bottom OF the car. On the end OF shaft
is n flght-angle mesh wheel which trans
mits the power to an eccentric or crank
in the car that operates anhydrous am
monia. The car once in motion, the am
monia is forced through pipes the same
as in a cold storage house or ice factory,
and the required temperature secured.
The main feature of the invention is the
automatic feed. By 1t uniform expah-
sion can be secured either at high or low
speed. Either direct expansion can be
secured by the use OF ammonia, or salt
brine circulating system can De used. Ii
the latter is used the material can be
placed in one car, and by pipe connec-
| tons train of cars can be refrigerated
| with one machine.
| MIR. s. L. Neil, the inventor, says that
carload Of peaches can be sent from
| Georgia to New York In good shape at a
cost Of $25. 1t costs $50 for preparation
| y the process now in use. A saving OF
sos per car to the shipper is big item,
ana if the invention proves anything
| like as effective as the inventor claims,
or as practicable as it appears on Its face,
| it will have q very decided effect on the
| southern fruit business and will revolu-
| tionize the business of carrying retHger-
ated fruit from California to the east.

The Fruit Crop of 1905

The yield of prunes this year will ex-
coed that of any other year except the
phenomenal crop of 1893, when nearly
39,000,0o0 pounds of dried prunes were
shipped from Santa Clara valley. The
shipment this year will reach $4,000, 900
POUNDS, an increase of about 5000, 900
over the shipments of last year. There
will not be more than forty carloads OF
dried apricots, as compared with 800 last
year. rhe quality is unusually fine.
The peach crop will not reach more
than two-thirds or three-fourths of that
of last year, when there was yield of
arbout 5000, 900 POUNDS, but very much
larger proportion of'the crop has been
sent to the market, or is still held in the
hands OF producers as dried fruit. The
market as yet shows no signs of improve
ment but the demand is almost certain to
increase largely with the exhaustion OF
the supply of fresh fruits.
