Death of Kalama.

We have to record to-day the
death of one of Maui's best known
men, John Kalama, a prominent
member of the bar, who formerly
held important Offices under the
judiciary as well as under the leg
islative branches of the governmen
John Kalama was born at Maka
wac, Maui, forty-three years ago.
He was sent to Lahainaluna where
he Joined John Kalua and John Ka-
ulukou, both prominent Hawaiians
in the history of these islands, with
whom be entered into an everlast-
ing friendship. He graduated in
1869 and together with Kalua stu
died medicine at the Office of DR..
G. P. Judd.
At the death Of DIR. Judd the de-
ceased abandoned the study of me-
dicine and took up the study OF law,
aud was finally admitted to practice
before all the courts of the islands.
AS practitioner and judge at
Makawao he commanded the respect
of all. He was a typical Hawaiian
of the old school, and his genial
manners created many friends for
him among his countrymen and the
haoles with whom he came in con-
nection. He was a religiously dis
posed man and was one of the prose-
lytes of Evangelist Hallenbach. The
deceased leaves a widow to mourn
his loss.

To bow down to the declaration
ofsuch result might end disastrous
ly to the community. For five days
we are told that no new case of cho-
lera has been experienced. We are
told that the cholera hospital is
empty and that the persons afflicted
have been discharged. We are as
sured that a quarantine of five days
is sufficient to finally paralyze the
epidemic and that the city OF Homo
lulu will open schools, allow ship
ping to enter the port freely, and
distribute coolies from the infected
ports Of japan and China without
delay.

There is 10 doubt that the ener-

their assistants have helped the
community in reaching a position
in which we at least can hope that
the dread disease of cholera has
been stamped out.

GO SLOW.

The fact that no cases of cholera
have been reported for the last five
days ought not to have the effect on
the community of lulling them into
a state OF rest and safety.

Upon a motion of l.. A. Thurston it

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Medical members OF the Board of
Health, who number three, state
officially in their letter to the Presi-
dent of the Board ave realize the
fact that if the disinfection is i'm
perfectly done FIVE days is not suffi-
cient time to insure safety, neither
is twenty days nor sixty days, for
instances are on record where the
poison has lived from one season to
another. The epidemic in parts of
Europe in 1898 was considered a re-
crudescence of the poison of 1892,
and not re-infection." Who then
is to verify that the disinfection has
been perfectly done2

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 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
and of the home becomes of
vital Importance. Honolulu is
having taste of a 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 se-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 a 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 a 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 a pleasant tempera-
ture. Large families will find
these highly ornamental coolers
'of great advantage and a great
saving in regard to ice.

Ii clothes we're to be boiled for
two hours in some districts styled
infected-(which would render them
rotten and unfit for wear), and ex-

others, why are the stores allowed

shelves, when people to greater
or less extent go in and contribute
germs to the stock in hand? The
whole idea savours OF the fables

KILLED THE HUSBAND.
Horace E. Pope, Detroit Dentist,
Murdered by His Wife'S
ParamOur.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. DIR. Horace
Pope, a dentist with an Office and resi-
dence on Michigan avenue, was Killed
this morning by William Brusseau, Mrs.
Pope's nurse. According to the story told
by Brusseau he found Dr. Pope sitting
on his wife's bed holding cloth saturated
with chloroform over her mouth. When
Brusseau entered the room the doctor
fired at him, but missed. The nurse
seized a Ratchet and buried it into the
skull of the man. Unlawful relations be-
tween Brusseau and Mrs. Pope are said
to be the cause of frequent and bitter
quarrels between the Popes and the police
believe this led to the murder.
In unearthing the circumstances sur
rounding DR.. Pope's murder it is learned
that Mrs. Pope had urged her husband to
place heavier insurance upon his life. He
had accordingly been insured for $4,000
an0 but a few days ago transferred the
payment of the policies from his estate to

1T WAS THE CRATHIE.
Capt. Gordon of that Steamer Tells of
the Collision.


the Collision.
Rotterdam, Jan. 31.-InteryieWs which
have been had here this afternoon with
Capt Gordon of the steamer Crathie and
with the second officer of that vessel
now leave no room for doubt that she was
the steamship which ran into and sunk the
Eibe.
Capt. Gordon said tIat the Crathie at
$50 q. N. yesterday was about thirty five
miles from Waterway. The wind was
north by-West-a -half-west 1t was very
dark and the sea and wind were strong.
Continuing, he said: 81 stood at the
bottom of the cabin staircase and was 90
ing on deck when there was heavy
shock, crack and then the water began
pouring onto the deck.
II ran on deck and saw a large strange
ship cross the bows of the Crathie.
After the collision we returned to the
spot where it had occurred, or as near as
we could make out, but we were unable
to see any signs of the steamer, which
we thought had proceeded on her voyage.
We followed after her for some time, but
lost all sight of her. We waited for two
hours and then proceeded to Mass Luis.
We reached there yesterday and came
here today for repairs which will take
five weeks"
Second Officers Story.
The second officer of the Crathie said
that about $50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing the steamer was about thirty miles
from Nieu Waterweg, adding: I'VE
collideG with q large steamer. There
was no fog, but it was dark. It was my
watch on deck and [ suddenly saw ahead
of us three lights and I made out a
steamer, painted a light color, coming
toward us. 1t was impossible TO escape
a collision although ten or twelve yards
more would probably have cleared us.
After we struck it was impossible for
some time to disengage the two ships
and our gear had to be cut. We heard
no cries and there was no commotion
on board the steamer so far as we know.
Immediately after the collision the other
vessel showed blue and red lights. We
returned the same signals understanding
that it meant that neither Of US needed
assistance. Our captain was below at
the time I first sighted the steamer.

JAPS LOSE A GUNBOAT.
It was Sunk During the Attack on
-Hai-Wei-Chinese Fort
Blows Up.

Che Foo, Feb. 2-The Western forts of
Wei-Hai-Wei were taken by the Japan,
csc on January 80, in spite of the good
resistance made by the Chinese. One
Japanese gunboat was sunk after having
been badly damaged. A shell burst in the
magazine of one of the Chinese forts and
the whole store of powder blew up, and it
is believed to have caused great mortality.
The eastern forts were bombarded for
four hours by the Chinese cruisers Mani
wa, Akitsuhima and Katsura. The Jap
anese fire was we'll directed and dismount-
ed several guns, but neither the eastern
forts nor the city of Wei-Hai-Wei were
captured. The authorities of Che Foo
are Selling and beheading runaway Chin
csc soldiers who ran away from Wei
Hai-Wei. Further operations are impos,
sible for the moment, owing to the severi>
ty of the weather.
Yokohoma, Feb. 2-Oficial advices
from the seat of war are to the effect
that the enemy's ships are still in the gulf.
There has been severe fighting with heavy
loss on both sides. At 4:30 on the after
noon of January 80 the battle was still
raging. At Shanghai it is reported that
one Of the Chinese warships was disabled
and two torpedo boats sunk by the forts
in Linkungton. The Chinese fleet is still
inside the harbor at Wei-Hai-Wei.
