Help Hawaiians.

A number of prominent Hawaiian
ladies have decided to make an ap-
peal to the community in favor Of
the poor destitute Hawaiians who,
terrified by the scourge OF cholera
and obeying the regulations of the
Board Of Health are without food
and the necessaries of life.
The committee appointed to help
will be able tomorrow to render
assistance and we respectfully sug-
gest that besides food and clothing,
frewood is the most necessary thing
to be provided. We advise the Ha-
waiians to boil their drinking water,
their milk, and their food, but we
have not provided the necessaries
wherewith to boil. The patriotic
ladies who have undertaken the
work ought to be practical as we'll
as patriotic and benevolent.
Mesdames j. O. Carter, S. G. Allen
and Fred Macfarlane are active
workers, and Mrs. Geo. Beckley and
the secretary, Mrs Nakuina, will de-
vote their time to find the wisest

tress. Mr.. Geo. Fairchild who in
voluntarily has been quarantined in
Honolulu, is devoting his time in
gathering subscriptions and has
headed the list with donation from
Colonel Spalding of 500.
If the programme is carried out
in sensible manner, great hardships
will be avoided and unlimited credit
be due to the men or women, who
now respond to the cry for help form
the Hawaiian.
The Metropolitan Meat Co. have
offered 100 pounds meat a day to the
Hawaiian Relief Committee. All
the prominent grocers, such as May
& Co., Mcintyre q Co., Lewis & Co.,
Fl. Davis g. Co, have offered gro
ceries of all kinds to whatever
amount is needed by the committee.
In fact, the response to the call for
help has been wonderfully satisfac-
tory so far.
