The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-09-06

doubtedIy there were a great many
who took that advice because their
inclinations led them in that direc-
ton. This was saying nothing about
gatherings and liability OF persons
taking sick while in the saloons.
DR.. Rodgers spoke of the careless
ness OF natives. A half grown girl
was taken sick at Kalihi yesterday.
To all appearances the house and sur
roundings were clean. The people
man failed to show such acquire
ment. AS the girl was about 10 be
removed he rushed up and kissed
her.
j.. A. Thurston moved to endorse
the action of the Board both in regard
to saloons and churches.
Bishop Willis said he had been
gaZetted in the ADVERTISER as hav-
ing defied the law in holding a meet
ING at st. Andrews Cathedral
Wednesday evening. Such was not
his idea. On the contrary, he wished
TO cooperate with the Board in all
that it proposed, save closing the
churches altogether.
President Smith read letter from
committee of Kauai citizens, who
expressed it as the wish OF the people
that no passengers from Honolulu be
allowed to land on their island
without having been quarantined
eighteen days.
Rufus Spalding presented letter
from the Sheriff of Kauai conveying
the same idea as the one received by
President Smith.
II. u. Austin read the letter which
called forth the answer just given.
In it was contained the Boards action
of the five days quarantine.
President Smith did not see how the
people of Kauai could be compelled to
take passengers from Honolulu II
they did not so desire.
Mr.. Spalding did not see the con-
sistency in a five days regulation
here and an eighteen days regulation
at Kauai. There seemed to be no
head tn affairs.
G.. s. Fairchild said he knew the
persons very well, whose names ap-
peared at the end of the letter to Pres
ident Smith, and was sure they would
not have concurred in such action I'M
less prompted by great fear of cholera.
President Smith informed the Board
that letters had been received from
Chinese and japanese doctors, in
which they volunteered their services.
He had made answer that they might
be called upon II required.
A communication was received
from F. A. Schaefer, asking that lime
and cement be added to the list of ex-
port articles. Action deferred.

hua perfectly safe and had acted in
accordance with that view by giving
permission to have her used as a
