The report of X. w. Meyer,
superintendent of the leper settle.l
ment, was read. 1t contained
nothing of public interest. A
telephone line across the noun
tains to his residence needed to
be repaired, and the Board agreed
to see the matter.
A letter was received from j.
&. Hackfeld, acting Vice Consul
OF Russia, enclosing letter from
vienna wsky, Counsellor of State
OF the Governor Of Varsow, Russia,
stating that Mademoiselle de
Frotzka, Russian subject resid-
ing a Varsow, engaged at the
Hospital de st. Roch as assistant
OF the sister Of charity, aged 25
years, desires to devote herself
entirely to works Of public charity
and the care of the lepers, follow

whom she would like to serve as
aid, and under whose orders she
would like to travel to the hospital
at Honolulu. She has made
serious studies in this specially.
Mile. de Frotzka wants tc
know If she would have to pay
her own travelling expenses. and
asks what documents she required
to present for admission.
1t was decided with very little
talk to answer that there was nc

Frye, Of Maine, made a speech
at Bridgeport last week, the
quality and spirit of which are
indicated by this brief extract;
I'VE will place our flag on all
the seas of the earth, restore
the merchant marine to it's
place, and will increase our
white, strong-armed squadrons
SO that they command the res
pect of all nations. We will
annex the Hawaiian Islands,
fortify Pearl Harbor, build the
Nicaragua Canal, and manage
two great oceans. We will
show people a foreign policy
that is American in every fiber,
and hoist the American flag on
whatever island we think best,
and no hand shall ever pull it
down If Senator Frye were
a local politician, these words
might pass without comment;
but he is o member of the
highest legislative body in the
country, and he is q leader of
the party which may shortly
come into power again. If
these words are mere buster,
they are entirely unworthy the
position of the man who utter
ed them, If they were serious
ly considered, they indicate a
policy which may be described
as tawdry and barbaric. The

the steamer was in quarantine and
that the Board did not wish to
make any discrimination against

President Smith brought up

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Proceedings of the Regu-
lar Meeting.
Young Russian Heroine.

The Board of Health met
yesterday afternoon. President
w. o. Smith in the chair, with
whom were present Drs. Emer-
son and Wood and T. F. Lansing
members; Charles Wilcox, secrs-
tary, and c. B. Reynolds, execu-
tive officer.
An old Chinaman appeared be-
fore the Board, bearing a letter
from DR.. McGrew, to ask per-
mission to use opium. The doc
tor stated that the applicant had
smoked opium forty years.
DR.. Wood was strongly against
giving open permits to smoke
opium. When he had q patient
that required opium, he never
allowed him to take it himself,
but gave it to him in his own
way. He did not let him smoke it,
and the patient did not know
how much Of the drug he was
getting. If man was allowed
to take the drug in his own way,
what was to prevent his turning
his house into an opium joint?
DR.. Emerson asked the presi-
dent if any measure was to be
introduced in the Legislature for
the licensing of opium.
