DR.. Russell Complains Of Diseased
Meat in His District.
THE INSANE ASYLUM wISDMILL.
the Defects-New Chinese Doctor In
Town-A Small Cargo of Medicine
ordered-ProbabIeC Contest for q Hall.

The Board of Health held reg
ular meeting yesterday afternoon
with President Smith in the chair.
Executive Officer Reynolds
handed in report regarding the
windmill at the Insane Asylum.
It seems that the mill has not
given satisfaction although it was
approved and paid for. In Mr..
Reynolds opinion the pump is all
right but he is in doubt whether
the machine has motive power
enough to work it.
Mr.. Reynolds was given power to
remedy the fault.
A letter from Superintendent
Meyers was read regarding affairs
at the leper settlement. He stated
that satisfactory progress was being
made in the removal of the healthy
natives from Kslaupapa and did
not anticipate any trouble. The
people seemed disposed to accept
the offer of the Government and
retire in peaceable manner.
A letter from DR.. Hyde was read.
It referred to the Y. NJ. G. A. hall
at the settlement. He is anxious
to have the building placed under
control of the American Board of
Missions, and has the consent of G..
n. Wilcox, who donated a sum of
money to its erection. The mem
bers of the Board of Health are
agreeable to the plan, and think
it would be a desirable arrange
ment.
1t seems that the building is now
controlled by building committee,
the members of which have not the
confidence of the natives. The
latter are anxious for the change
also.
Mr.. Reynolds stated that baker
at the settlement threatened to
shut up shop unless the price of
wood was reduced. The man in
question opposes another in the
same line of business, and the result
is that bread is sold at five cents a
loaf, instead of ten as formerly. If
he should retire from business his
opponent in trade will Immediately
raise his prioe. The matter was
referred to Mr.. Meyers, and the
chances are that the lepers will re-
ceive their daily bread at the pres
ent price.
DR.. Russell, of Waianae, COM
planned of the poor quality of beef
furnished at the place mentioned.
According to his statement the
cattle are half-starved and most of
them are unhealthy. The secre-
tary was instructed to inform him
that he had the power to condemn
any meat that was unfit for use.
The same doctor spoke of an ep-
idemic of influenza that annually
visits Waianae and claimed that
vaccination was sure preventive.
He asked for enough virus to ope-
rate on the members of his district
as an experiment.
1t was decided to allow Chun
Kan Chin a license to practice
medicine. He was recommended
by several prominent Chinese and
possesses a diploma which was
read off yesterday.
DR.. Goto wants more medicine
for his hospital. Two tons were
ordered; enough to last two
months at least.
Bids for supplies were opened
and were referred to Mr.. Reynolds.

THE NEW WOMAN.

O. the Twentieth Century Girl.
 What a wonderful thing she will be. She'll evolve from mystical whirl woman unfettered and free; No corset to crampen her waist, No crimps to cucumber her brain; Unafraid, bifurcate, unlaced,
 Like the goddess of old she will reign She'll wear bloomers. a matter of course: She will vote, not question of doubt; She will ride like man on horse; At the club late at night she'll stay out; If she chances to love. she'll propose; To blush will be quite out Of date: She'll discuss politics with her beaux, And euttalk her masculine mate She'll be up in the science of things: She will smoke cigarettes; she will swear, If the servant a. dunning note brings. Or the steak isn't served up with care, No longer she'll powder her nose Or cultivate even curl Nor bother with fashion or clothes, This Twentieth Century Girl. Her voice will be heard in the land; She'll dabble in matters of state: In council her word will command, And her whisper the laws regulate. She will stand meath her banner unfurled, Inscribed with her principles new; But the question is what in the world The New Century Baby will do?

THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CoNvEN
 

This great assembly now in session at Washington, D. C., is perhaps the larg- est religious gathering that will meet this year. About 5000 representatives of the church are there to participate in
 the deliberations of the body, besides the
 wives of delegates and friends of the
 church who are there to see and to hear.
 Questions of great importance to the
 denomination are being discussed. and
 reviews made of the work of the church
 in foreign lands as we'll as at home. This
 meeting is the semi-centennial anniyer-
 sary of the organization of the Southern
 Baptist church, and it has greatly pros-
 pered during the fifty years. It claims al
 membership of 2i679, ,454, of which 1884,
 900 are white and 1,292. .394 are colored.
 There are 6S4 associations, 9610 ordained
 ministers and 17,364 churches. The mis-
 sionary contributions last year amounted
 to $600,000. The two races have worked
 harmoniously and successfully together,
 but it is said a proposition is to be acted upon now for a separation-malxing a white and a colored Southern Baptist church.
 Periodically, the Baptists, as other de- nominations which divided upon war is-
 sues considersamong themselves the ad visibility of union between the Northern and Southern branches, but really they seem no nearer final union now than they | did years ago. While sectional preju-
 dices may have died out. the corporal strength of each has grown to such pro- portions that union seems next to impos- sible. Some one recently suggested that there would be a union between the different protestant churches in the North and in the South before there will be union between those possessing the same doctrines in the North and. South. However. religious thought from de- nominational standpoint, is yet plas- tic,-and there is no telling what effect the holding of the Southern Baptist con vention on the other side of the Poto- mac will have upon the two great di- visions.

According to report of yesterdays non partisan free silver meeting held at Erswells hall, speaker declared in favor of the coinage of silver without reference to parity, expressing the be- lief that it would be impossible to main- tain an equitable ratio between the two metals on any fixed basis. He evidently wants the government to stamp just as many silver dollars as gold. regardless of intrinsic value. Why not use leather, wood or stone? These commodities are cheaper than silver.

It is only by International concurrence that the ques- ton can be taken out of politics. Just as long as political agitation is kept up the price of silver will huctuate.

 Our friends, the silver monometallists, continually weep over "the crime of 1873, which demonetized silver" The fact is, that silver was demonetized in 1853. They should file a bill of complaint against the act of Febuary 21, 1853, and not the act of February 12, 1S73 In 1853 there had been coined about $75.0o0,00O worth of silver in smaller denominations than S1,all of which was full legal ten der and which constituted 90 per cent of United States silver coin. By act of Feb ruary 21, 1853, Congress reduced the weight of the half dollar from 206.25 to 192 grains, and smaller coins in propor- ton. It also demonetized the minor coins, making them legal tender to the amount of $5 only. No change was made in the weight or legal tender power of the silver dollar. as few were being coined and none were in circulation. Thus the characterization of silver was effected by this act of 1853, when nine- tenths of all silver in the Unted States was deprived of its debt paying power. Yet there was no perceptible drop in the price of silver until twenty-two years after when production began to far ex- ceed demand, and it fell In accordance with the laws of political economy.
