Fish Regulations and Private
Rights Not to Clash.
What superintendent Meyers Thinks
of the Leper Prisoners on Molokaf.
His Communication Referred to
Attorney General-Other Matters.

! At the regular weekly meeting OF
| the Board of Health yesterday after
noon there were present President
Emerson, Minister Cooper, Drs. AL
varez, Monsarrat and Day, Messrs
Reynolds, Lansing and Keliipio.
Under the Act to Mitigate, DR.. Mon
sarrat's report showed so examinations
for the week ending July 1st, with one
taken from the register.
Minister Cooper thought that the
present regulations of the Board of
Health should be modified so as to
take in only the harbor without inter
fering with fishing rights of certain
parties. The line drawn at present
was merely arbitrary, and the fish go
from one side to the other freely.
President Emerson was of the opin-
ion that it might be advisable to place
a buoy or some other mark to indicate
Health.
Minister Cooper moved that the re-
strictions be raised so as not to inter-
fere with private fishing rights Car
ried.
Il Fish Inspector Keliipio's report
showed $4,000 fish received at the mar
ket for the week ending June 28th, and
$1,000 for the week ending July 5th.
Communications from Superinten-
dent Meyers and Mr. Hutchinson of
the Molokai leper settlement in regard
to the gang of cattle thieves, now in
Jail there, informed the Board of
Health that the leader of the gang was
a very lawless fellow who had been
imprisoned once before for carrying
on in a high-handed manner. Moreover
the petitioners were all fat and we'll
fed Prison seemed to be agreeing
with them. Mr. Meyers feared that
should the men be let out, the old
time depredations would be renewed
especially by the leader of the gang.
1t was decided that an extract of the
part of Mr.. Meyers letter, relating to
the petitions from the leper prisoners,
be sent the Attorney-Ge as the
answer of the Board of Health in re-
gard to those petitions.

ment physician at Lahaina, Maui, was

IN ENGLAND.

A MONG all the Germanic nations
u Christmas has ever been the most
Il \ popular of all church festivals.
In England it was, and is, the one great
national feast, and in the Anglican
church and among the Lutherans of Ger
many the exclusion of many minor festi-
walls from the calendar has only cOncen-
trated the popular affection upon Christ
mas.
The Puritans made a vigorous battle
against what they thought a supersti-
ton, and in 1862 it was ordered by Par
lament that no observation shall be had
of the hve-and-twentieth day of Deem
Der. commonly called Christmas Day, nor
any sOlemnity used or exercised in
churches upon that day in respect there
of" A little before, in 1647, the town
crier of Canterbury proclaimed that
christmas and all other superstitious
festivals should be put down, and a mar
ket held upon Christmas Day" But none
of these orders had much effect. In
Scotland John Knox did succeed in pretty
etfectuallv sunpressing the observance Of
Christmas. in the Lowlands, at least, but
he simply transferred the popular GUS
toms and superstitions to New Years
Day. There is an English rhyme of this
period that illustrates the popular feel
ing on the subject:
All plums the prophets sons defy,
Aid spice-broths are too hot;
TreasOn's In a December pye,
And death within the pot.
Christmas, farewell, thy days | fear,
ANA merry days are done;
So they may keep feasts all the year,
Our Saviour shall nave none.

CHRISTMAS.

Thrice welcome. day of days! The skies
Ope wide their gates at thy command
And Heavens sublimest symphonies
Roll grandly over sea and land.
The dews OF charity distill
Their Incense everywhere, and comes
a universal Joy to ill
The highest and the humblest homes.
Thy son doth bless with hOller kiss!
I'll breath a grander these doth hymn!
Thy wings do close the black abyss
OF evil, and no longer dim
Are valleys of eternal peace,
Or land where Its own restores,
But skies uncurtalned show increase
or glory on thy crystal shores!
And thou dost light for me again
The yule-lOg on the homestead hearth.
The graves where long the dead have lain
DO open, as a vernal garth,
And bloom for me once more the loves
That rOseate made my youthful days;
Within thy freight lives and moves
My mother, haloed with the rays
OF Paradise. and MS her twin
Lips with the olden fondllngs part,
And |. enraptured, cuddle in
The velvet haven of her heart,
/ see the pan of doubt unfold,
And gu the pathway of the sun
Gods finger writes in lines Of gold
The words, "For Home and Heaven are
One!'
Then, too, thy chimney glow reveals
My fathers face; the old armchair
Is his again, and Lulu kneels
Beside him with her Christmas prayer;
The sweet-volced pleadlngs uttered are,
And grandpa's lips do part to say,
"Thank God the gates are all ajar
'TwlXt Home and Heaven on Christmas

Thon, welcome, day of days! Thy dawn
Is vibrant with familiar tones,
The veil that dims our sight Is drawn,
The farther shore thy sunlight zones.
No growth Of skeptlc fancy now
Our faith In glad reunion ~leavens,
For tits engraven on thy brow
That Heaven Is Homes. and Home Is

In Paris Christmas Day is kept as a
religious festival, and many who would
not dream of going to church on Sun
days make a point of attending mass on
lie Jour de Noel, and the blaze of the
tapers falls on crowded congregations,
men, women and children, kneeling,
standing and sitting on the wide area
of the Madeleine and Notre Dame. OF
late years it has become chic to attend
midnight mass on Christmas Eve, and
so, pouring down along the b~oulevards.

One of the prettiest of Christmas Gus
tors is the Norwegian practice of giving
on Christmas Day a dinner to the birds.
On Christmas morning every gable, gate

sheaf of corn fixed on the top of a tall
pole, wherefrom it is intended that the
birds shall make their Christmas dinner.

A CHILD's FUNERAL.
Last Rites Over the Body of Little
Henry S. Burke.

One of the most touching funeralS-to
which perhaps only the pen of that
great lover of children, the late Charles
Dickens, could do justice-took place
from the Cathedral yesterday after
noon. AS reported in the Record
Union of Saturday morning, little
Henry S. Burke of 415 Twelfth street,
son of Michael j. Burke, met his death
by drowning ON Friday last. He was
urexceptionably amiable, bright, and
beautiful in all his ways, and it is said
by those who should know that he was
better loved by his associates than any
boy at the Brothers College.
He was an altar boy and discharged
his duties with rare fidelity, serving the
early mass for Bishop Grace the whole
week before his death, and even on the
morning of the day on which he was
drowned in the Twelfth street slough.
He was also a member of the college
orchestra, and played the clarionet in
the band
His fellow members of the Cathedral
Sanctuary Society paid him the last
honors yesterday by sending a floral
pillow inscribed &C. S. S. and by meet
iTg his remains at the Cathedral and es-
corting them to the grave. Henry
Burke was little over 13 years of age,
with one of those pure and beautiful
faces that the great novelist alluded to
above used to characterize as being
fresh from God
His pail bearers, chosen from his clos
est boy friends, were Allan Sweeney,
George Welch, Joseph Ryan, John La
velle, Coleman Flaherty and Frank
Armstrong. Others who took part in
the services as censer- bearer, etc, We're
Daniel Sweeney, Frank Bronner,
Joseph Quinlan, Willie White,
Ralph Harcourt and Willie Tur-
ton. The child was buried as he would
have wished to be, clad in the white silk
cissock and the surplice that he had
worn in the sanctuary.
The services at the Cathedral were
simple, but touching, the well-known
choir singing the soft but sad dirges of
the church eXquisitely. The large build
ing was nearly filled with friends of the
child and of the family. Rev. Father
Walsh officiated and gave the last alb
solutions, besides preaching most
touching discourse, commencing the
pure life of the dead boy to all present.
He said that it was his fullest convic-
ton that the child was then enjoying
the beatific vision

GREAT RIDING.
Interesting Sights at the New Pavil-
ion Cycle Track.

1t is very exciting to witness the men
in training at the Pavilion for the great
indoor bicycle races TO be held there in
about ten days. To a person unaccus-
toned to short-lap riding it looks very
hazardous for men to ride at faster
than a two minute gait around the
sharp turns, when rider and wheel are in
al almost horizontal position against
the forty-five degree incline.
Looking down the length of the great
building they appear like big insects
racing along the side of a perpendicular
wall
Yesterday afternoon there was quite
a group of men in training-Young
WeIch, Hallauer, Hirsch, Bauer and
others, and for hours they flew around
the seven-lap track, now and then
sprinting at their best.
Mr.. Winans says that experts pro-
nounce it the best and fastest indoor
track ever laid on this coast, and the
be st riders in the State are expected to
compete in the coming tournament. AT
its close the track will be removed until
after the State Fair, when it will be
afain put down and indoor riding main
tanned all winter.
About November, when the great ma
tional circuit riders will be on the coast
Mr.. Winans intends to have one of the
