The committee appointed TO report
on the matter Of soil and water pre-
seutsd the following:
Honolulu, Sept. 25, 1885.
Hon. W. o. SMITH, President Board
of Health.
SIR:-Your committee appointed TO
investigate the matter Of contsmins-
ton OF soil and water by cholera
germs, begs leave to submit the fol-
lowing report:
Every locality in which cholera has
occurred has been visited and sur
veyed by the committee. A list Of
seventeen localities wss furnished the
committee by the Board Of Health
Office. OF this number five general
localities claim special attention, on
account Of their close proximity to
large bodies of water which may have
become contaminated by the intro
duction Of infectious material from
persons sick with cholera previous TO
removal to the cholera hospital.
These localities sre Waipilopilo, the
banks Of the Nuusuu stream, the hsr.
Dor snd vicinity, kunawai and Pun
nui.

Just beyond the washing hole are
two old taro patches, at present grass
grown, and beyond these q large ex-
tent of growing taro. From q point
Just above the washing hole = small
drain leads water from the ditch into
the unused taro-patches, and through
them directly into the patches oi
growing taro.
The soiled clothing OF the sick man
was washed or the grass near the
edge OF the washing hole. There is
no direct drainage from this place into
either the taro-patches or the ditch,
but 3 heavy rsin could undoubtedly
wash material from the edge OF the
washing hole, on the surface Of the
ground, into the old taro patches and
thence into the growing taro.
About one-eighth mile 10 the east
ward Of this locality Is the kunswai
spring, from which the people in the
neighoorhood generally get their water
for drinking purposes IL is impos-
sible for surface water TO drain into
this spring.

S. The Nuud'm stream. Your
committee regards this locality, to.
gether with the harbor, TO be by
far the most serious problem with
which the Board of Health has to
deal. The lower portion OF Psuoa
creek and the Nuuanu stream, from
the point where the Pauos creek Joins
it down 10 the sea, are unquestionably
infected, and all persons should be
absolutely prohibited from using any
water from these infected sources or
taking any fish from them until such
time as nature has purified them. 1t
is also important that no discharges,
wash water, poi water, sewage or other
organic material should be thrown or
discharged into the stream for a like
period Of time. Periodical flushing OF
the stream should be continued for
several months-ssy, throughout the
rainy season.
We urge upon the Board of Health
the importance of wslling the stream
in upon both sides at the earliest pos
sible date as a necessary health meas
ure.
THE HARBoR.
9. In view of the fact that there is
direct evidence that number of the
persons who were taken sick with
cholera during the late outbreak had
been eating raw fish or crabs from the
harbor, and further, that there is good
authority for the statement that har-
Dor water is particularly dangerous,
the cholera spirillum having been
found in at least one instance after
eighty-one days in harbor water.
Your committee recommends that all
persons be prohibited from bathing in
the waters of the harbor or from tax
ing crabs, shrimps or fish of any kind
from the harbor or the coral reef bor-
dering it for a period of three months
from the present time. Further, that
immediate steps be taken to improve
that portion of the harbor in the
neighborhood of the outlet of the
Nuusuu stream in such manner that
the present unssnitsry condition shall
be removed.
10. We recommend the filling in of
the old fish pond across from the rail-
way depot.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS.

GENERAL RECOMM ENDAIIONS-
/. That the local wash houses in in
fected localities be torn down and the
ground beneath them disinfected and
then allowed to dry thoroughly; that
ali persons be prohibited from wash
ing any clothing or throwing any
soiled water, discharge or other or
gsnic matter into any stream or pool
of water; that all persons who wash
their clothing at home be requested to
do so in dry, sunny spot, where there
is no drainage into any pool or stream
of water.
.. That as far as practicable all un-
necessary poo.s or ponds of stagnant
and semi-stagnaut water be filled in,
beginning with the infected localities.
8. That the building Of houses, wash
houses or closets over streams, ponds
or portions Of the harbor be prohibit
ed, and that all such houses now
standing be removed.
4. That all sewer pipes emptying
into the harbor be abolished.
SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS.
). In the Waipilopilo district we
recommend the immediate condemn
ing of the infected rice fields; the re-
enforcement Of the bank dividing the
ditch from the uninfected rice fields |;
measures to disinfect as thoroughly az
possible the infected rice fields aud the
ditch; the filling upoi all surface wells
in the district; the prevention as far
as il practicable of all use OF this water
or the fish therein By any person for
any purpo+e for period of time to be
determined by the Board of Health.
s. In the Kunawai district disinf-c-
ton seems to have been thorough, and
there IL considerable doubt as TO the
infectious material having reached the
taro patches. In case it has done so
the committee are of the opinion that
il has passed beyond control. We
recommend keeping up rigid inspec-
ton over this district and all others
through which the water from this
district drains. II other cases of ehoI-
era occ15Iower down the question Of
drying up the raro will have TO be con-
sidered.
:. In the Puunui district We make
the same recommendations as in the
Kunavsi district.

Mr. r. II. Sothern is an actor. Yes.
lie Is even more: he is master. and as
such ne has most perfectly under control

Last night he was Lord Chumley. and
never has he inipersonated that character
with greater degree OF perfection. Mr..
Sothern comes Justly by his genius as
an actor. for that he has inherited from
his father. but in Lord Chumley he has
wrights have put the lines In his mouth.
and Mr. Sothern has given those same
lines personality; he has made not the
action suit ;he word. but the word suit
the action. After ALL what can / say
OF the performance. except that II was
perfect: yes. perfect as a whole. perfect
In detail, and the performance itself is
the highest tribute OF praise that can
be paid 10 Mr.. Sothern Not even the
applause OF the audience and the curtain

Weak III erves

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in a state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king Of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way 10 strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements OF
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

THE IyCOME TAX DECISION.
Ii 10 to be Rendered by the supreme Co"'s
Before Monday. April 18th.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. March l6.-The
statement is made upon good authority
that the decision OF the United states
Supreme Court OH the constitutlohally
OF the income tax VIII be rendereu o1 ~
fore Monday. April 10Th. treasury q
ficials charged with the collection OF me
tax have been very anxious 70 optd'u
some informal assurance on inns polhti
inasmuch as the extension OF t',e ,PiI ei nv,
within which returns must be mace ID
taxpayers in order TO escape the ." per
cent. penalty imposed by law expires d pl
that day. The usual course OF proGg9teu-
ings of the Supreme Court IN ueclu'Ds
important cases is as follows;
Each member of tile court keeps IA
locked and carefully guarded noteDooh
such suggestions and conclusions 10 u
cur to him during the hearing. Oh the
first Saturday after the close OF the case
the court meets in its consultation room
and the justices compare notes anu en-
deavor 10 ascertain If there Is anything
like a uniformity of opinion on the points
involved. If so. some member OF the
court is designated to write the opinion.
and in cases of urgency the rough dratt
of this opinion IS usually submitted on
the following Saturday for suggestions,
notifications or additions. The revised
opinion Is then put in type conldentlaliy
at the Government Printing ONCE ana
Is read and finally adopted at the third
consultation day. 1t Is then ready for
delivery on Monday, which is by custom
the only day Of the week on which opin-
lois are maze PUBIC Dy ine court
Should this course be followed in the
present case. Monday, April Sth, is the
day when the opinion may be expected.
There is no binding regulation, however.
restricting the court TO one day for the
rendering of opinions. 1t is simply
custom which has been found of great
convenience to the bar and public as
well as to the court. In cases where the
court finds itself strongly divided. more
than three consultations become neces-
sary and the justices argue among them
selves and endeavor 10 convince each
other. When IL is apparent that the
divergence of views is not 10 be recon-
ciled, there are frequently numerous
sttings. at which the opinion OF the ma
jority and she dissenting views of the
minority are read and compared and re-
argued and probably changed.
In the present instance, the absence
through illness OF Justice Jackson re-
duces the number of justices sitting on
the income tax question 10 eight. and of
course renders possible an equally divided
court. The personnel Of the court has
been almost entirely changed since the
rendering Of the opinion in the Springer
case. so that it Is by no means certain
that the rulings In that case will be held
binding upon the court in the cases now
presented.
