STORY OF LEPROSY AMONG THE
NATIVES ABROAD.
The Hawaiian Colony in Utah-An In
vestigation Being Made-Salt Lake
Papers Account.

SALT LAKE, June 24.-The Herald
prints a story this morning saying
that several well developed cases of
leprosy have been discovered in the
Hawaiian .settlemen of Josepha, in
Tooele county, about seventy miles
west of this city. A representative of
the Herald visited the little settle
ment and found the leprosy prevalent
in the Peters family, 16-year-old girl
named Bessie being the most serious
ly afflicted. Her limbs are shriveled
beyond description and covered with 4
"maculosa" or white blotches, which
mark the eruptive form of the malady.
Several other cases were discovered
in the settlement, but in less de-
veloped stage. The inhabitants of the
settlement were very reticent, and it
was difficult to get particulars touch
ing the other cases. The county
authorities are taking measures for a
thorough investigation.
Bishop Cluff, who lives in the vicin-
ity, admitted that leprosy had pre-
vailed there for some time, but denies
that it is contagious. He says he has
lived with the lepers fourteen years
and has no fear of taking the disease.

BEGINS A DAMAGE SUIT WORK OF THE M c. A.
REPORTS MADE AT a REGULAR
MONTHLY MEETING.
Still Seeking a Secretary-Must Be
Well Qualified Man-Summer Season
Devotional

The regular monthly meeting of the
Y. NJ. c. A. was held in the Associas-
tion Hall Monday evening.
1t being the summer season there
was little business. The gymnasium is
practically closed and all the educa-
tional classes, except the one in stem
ography, have taken vacation until
September.
The committee on secretary re-
ported that correspondence was still
going on with various plrties in the
east respecting the matter. 1t was dc.
sired to get man well informed in all
the details of Y. NJ. C. A. work and
competent instructor for the gym
nasium. The difficulty lay in finding
one in whom both of these qualifica-
tions were combined.
The committee believed that by the
next regular meeting candidate
could be reported. Mr.. Bluxome, who
took the work temporarily, will re-
tire as soon as he can be relieved TO
manage the Sailors Home 1t is en-
pected that some Y. NJ. c. A. work
can be successfully prosecuted in that
institution later.
The devotional committee reported
an active and increasing interest in
religious work. Attendance upon meet
ings had held up surprisingly well.
Efforts were being made to inaugurate
praise services to be held at noon of
Sundays. This idea might be put into
effect early in the autumn.
The reading room committe report
ed increased patronage. Papers and
periodicals were constantly being add
ed to the tables, and there were per-
sons in the room at all hours. A boy
had been employed to look after the
library and to prevent mutiation of
books and papers. This plan had
| worked well.

Every word True

The ladies residing in Honolulu and
display remarkable good taste
in their dress. This win be still fur
ther shown at the grand ball to be
given on the 3rd, and is thus easily
accounted for, as three-fourths of the
costumes to be worn on that auspic-
Gus occasion were bought at L. b.
Kerr's, where it would be impossible
to buy an ugly dress. The materials
and quaint designs are simply irresist-
able, and the prices are so unmistak-
ably low that there is an absolute
saving of at least 25 per cent; in other
words you can buy at that popular
store, single yard at wholesale
prices.

FISHING RIGHTS.

The case of the four Chinese caught
netting in the harbor Monday after
noon came up in the Police Court this
morning. Mr.. A. S. Humphreys vol
unteered to defend the men for the
reason that they had fished upon his
instructions. 1t appears that the
Chinese have fishing rights near Iwilei
on land belonging to the Bishop es-
tate, and property not tabu for fishing
purposes. But the Chinese claim that
fish taken from the rights were con-
demned by Inspector Keliipio. Legal
advice was sought of Mr.. Humphries
who, upon investigation of the tabu
limits, instructed them to go ahead
and he would see them through. The
Cinnamon went out to fish. but rs
luck would have it got off of theil
property and were caught on forbid
den grounds. Their case will come II!
later.

THE INJURED CYCLIST.

Henry Walker, the cyclist who
was hurt in an accident on Saturday,
is worse bruised up than was at first
supposed. Besides a severe cash over
the left knee he sustained several
scratches and bruises on the leg and
was kicked by the horse in the back.
The latter wound is found to be the
worst of ALL Mr.. Walker was in no
way to blame for the accident.
Wheelmen hope the case will further
impress the necessity for Keeping the
roads clear during the progress of
races.

, WAS A PLEASANT AFFAIR.

The luau at Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Lucas place at Niu on Saturday was
one of the largest and most pleasant
functions of the Fourth. Nearly 200
were present, including large num-
ber of society people of the city and
officers of the Austrian and Mexican
warships in port. The feast con-
tanned all of the Hawaiian delicacies,
refreshments, etc. After the luau
there was dancing and the visitors
were treated to an old time hula. The
affair lasted all day.

DUE TO DRINK.

The instance of the stabbing of an
American sailor by comrade in a
Nuuanu street saloon Saturday after
noon is but another of what liquor will
do under certain circumstances. The
two men were friends and had been
enjoying the Fourth together. Only
short time before they had stood to-
gether in a dispute with third party.
But while so drunk that neither knew
perhaps what he was doing a petty
quarrel arose and the stabbing was
done. And perhaps no one on earth
feels more genuinely sorry than the
man who sent the ugly weapon, file,
cutting into the abdomen of his
friend.

HEALTHY MANOA.
Charms of Valley in Which Lots
May Now Be Bought

"Manoa is the gem of all the valleys
of Oahu, and it is a wonder that you
people do not avail yourselves of the
opportunity of living there through a
portion of the summer months at
least" So said one of the recent ar
rivals, who has busted himself in taxi
ing frequent trips about the Island.
'Why," said he. IF you would put UP
a rough board shanty in-th,e valley
ind live there a few days at a tim.
you would gain greatly by the change.
You live too much on the lower levels
about the town and need to get above
the miasma that continually floats
about. A few hundred feet in altitude
is all that is necessary. If this method
of living was adopted you would SOON
find beneficial results following; those
miserable and uDeXplainable feelings
would disappear and you would feel
refreshed and invigorated even by a
short stay. The frequent ailments
that attack the children are OCCASION
ed by too prolonged residence on the
plains without change. Take my adj
vice and get back into the hills and
give yourselves change of climate.
Some of the finest lots in Manoa will
be offered at auction by Morgan to
morrow. At the same time there viii
be sold to bidders homesteads on tn,
Waikiki road.
