enty or more passengers off the Claud'
inc have endured the dreadful hard
ships they were forced to suffer during
their commitment on Cocoanui
Island? True it is that the Hiloites
sent over all the mattresses they could
buy in town and a few stools roughly
made, but they neglected to send over
coacoanut cakes and upholstered
chairs.
There has been considerable said as
to whether or not those people should
have been placed on the island at all,
and q number of the quarantined pas
sengers were decidedly unhappy and
dissatisfied with their forced residence
on the island, but Hilo people are not
regrettin,' for one moment that they
took these strict precautions, and
would no doubt do the same if another
load of passengers were sent to this
port.
Saturday evening, after just one
weeks picnic on Hilo's enchanting
picnic grounds, the much-fumigated
passengers were landed in Hilo. For
a time the streets looked rather lively,
but soon these people all disappeared
to the homes of hospitable Hiloites,
where they have been entertained
ever since. Several Maui school
teachers took this opportunity of wis.,
iting the volcano, while others OF the
detained party have been touring near
town. The Hawaii will take large
number of passengers this evening
who will go as far as Paauhau to meet
the Likelike tomorrow and proceed at
once to Maui and Honolulu.
The arrival of the barkentine Santi-
ago, Captain Johnson, twelve days
from San Francisco, was hailed with
delight. She brought full cargo of
lumber, merchandise, cattle, ETC.; also
the following passengers: Captain
William Matson, wife and child I;
Misses Plunkett, Wallace and
Knowles.
There has been a shortage in the
supply of flour and other provisions,
which the cargo of the Santiago will
replenish. After discharging her
freight she will sail for Honolulu,
where she is to be registered under the
Hawaiian flag.
The Claudine brought the glad It'd
ings concerning the health of Homo
lulu, and Hilo people feel like con-
graduating the Board of Health, the
physicians in Honolulu and the vari-
GUS committees who have so earnestly
served in carrying on the work of
cleaning the city, upon their success
in Kidding the city so promptly of so
terrible disease; and it is hoped that
with all the precautions that have
been taken there can be no return of
the dread cholera.
While business generally has been
more or less affected here by the late
unfortunate condition of affairs in
Honolulu, there is still activity in
building. A new structure is going
up on Bridge street, and another large
building is being erected on Jail
street by the Hilo Electric Light Com
pany. The plant and material neces-
sary for the operation of the same is
expected on the bark Annie Johnson
due here about the middle of Oct
ober.
The new road, now in process of
construction, from Hilo to Waiakea
bridge, will probably be completed by
next week. 1t will add materially
to the comfort and enjoyment Of the
travelling public to have good stretch
of road along the beach. Picnic
parties will appreciate the improve
ment when driving toward Cocoanut
Island.
The first picnic on the island, since
the quarantining passengers deserted
the camp, was held today in honor of
q number of visitors now enjoying the
beauties of Hilo while sojourning
with relatives and friends here. Mrs.
L. Severance and family, Capt. and
Mrs. Matson, Mrs. S. l.. Austin and
family, Mrs. John Scott and family,
Mrs. II. G. Austin and family were
among the jolly picnickers. They
had an ideal day for such festivities
not drop of rain fell to dampen their
spirits or interfere with the days out
ing.
The Ladies' Society of the First
Foreign Church rendered lunch to
the visiting Hawaiian clergymen who
were here last week attending the
conference of native ministers. The
day was bright and the tables were
set out on the lawn at the Hilo
Boarding School. A most inviting
luncheon was partaken of by some
twenty-five or more guests. Owing
to the quarantine on Hamakua dis
trict the attendance at the conference
was much smaller than it would
otherwise have been. The ladies re-
port having held very interesting and
beneficial meetings with the min
listers in conference, and they feel
that these meetings will certainly
help to bind the churches more close
" and to create stronger and better
feeling among the church workers of
their several churches.
A most delightful ''chalk talk'' was
listened to and watched by large
audience at the "Haile Church. Tues
day evening. Mr.. Rosecrans is GER
tainly very clever with chalk and his
talk and illustrations were presented
in a most unique and enjoyable man.

. A pleasing variation in the pro-

most amusing little farce was pre-
sented by Miss Lyman, Miss Deyo
and Mr.. Richards. The makeup of
the characters was excellent and the
parts Of all were very well carried.
