CHOLERA IN JAPAN
DIR. Eldridge Reports to
This Government.
Small Pox Prevalentin One District.
Plague Raging in
Formosa.

The following letter was received at
the Foreign Office yesterday, and is
published with view to impressing
the public in Honolulu with the i'm
portance of vaccination as a preventa-
tive to smallpox:
Chief Sanitary Inspector for Hawaii,
Yokohama, Japan, Nov. 6, 1896.
Sir:-In transmitting the enclosed
report of infectious diseases in Japan,
l have the honor to inform you that
a certain number of cases of choleraic
disease have, unfortunately, occurred
of late in Kobe, Toxic and Yokohama
though for some reason not included
in the returns of the Home Depart
ment. | have, however, succeeded in
obtaining reliable information upon
this point as regards Toxic and Yoko
hama, as follows:
In Toxic during the month of 0cto
Der there were 1873 cases, and from No
vember 1st to November Sd, Is cases
reported to the police authorities as of
cholera. So far as l can ascertain,
however, the death rate is exceedingly
small, far below that of true cholera
and it is at least questionable if the
majority of the cases reported are gen
uine The ordinary Japanese prac-
titioner, under the stringent regula-
tions as TO the notification of infec-
tious disease, is apt to err on the side
of safety rather than in the other di-
rection.
As concerns Yokohama the situation
seems different. Here there were in
the city and suburbs, from October 9th
TO November Sd, 90 cases, of which al
most every one was speedily fatal. Still
so far as / am able to judge from so
limited a number of cases, the disease
is decreasing rather than the reverse,
and the authorities are doing all in
their power to control it.
| beg further to call your attention
to the increasing prevalence and great
mortality of the smallpox in Hiogo,
Ken, where the disease is confined
chiefly to the towns of Hiogo and
Kobe and their immediate neighbor-
hood, on which account the United
States Consul at Kobe has deemed it
advisable to treat that port as in
fected.
Your attention is also invited to the
renewed and severe outbreak of plague
in Formosa, which is so far confined
to the district of Taipeh.
I am, Sir, very respectfully, your
obedient servant,
STUART ELDRIDGE, NJ. D.,
Sanitary Inspector for Hawaii.
Hon. Henry E. Cooper, Minister of
Foreign Affairs.

A GOOD THING.

Do you know a good thing
when you see it2 Some
people do and some don't.
but those who tumble to it
are. bound to get ahead in
the race for wealth. We can
put you onto a thing or two.
Just now we want you to
Give Your Horse a Treat.
Remember he is your best
friend and if you treat him
we'll and feed him we'll, he
will do more work and bet
ter work, besides looking as
a noble equine ought to look.
The National Feed Box"
will work a complete meta
morphosis in the condition
and the appearance of your
horse. 1t is a circular Shap-
ed vessel, made of cold rolled
steel, finely galvanized, with
malleable iron side rod; each
box furnished complete with
a Japanese wrought iron
holder, plate and screws.
This feed box has the advan-
tage that you can put it up
anywhere in the stall or box,
does not waste a particle of
the feed, will always be
sweet and clean, and is eS-
pecially desirable where a
horse is inclined to boiling,
SOLDERING or scattering.
1t saves feed bills at a rate
of from p to 80 per cent.
Saves doctors bills by pre-
venting indigestion, collie and
stomach troubles, saves
hostlerS time, trouble and
vexation. 1t pays for itself
in a few weeks, and no
stable is complete without it.
They come in 3 sizes, capa-
city 6, 8 and 10 quarts, and
the price is within the reach
of everybody owning a
horse. We would especially
call the attention of managers
of plantations and livery
stables to this new device.
1t will pay you the trouble
to come and inspect them.

NEGRO PASTORS REBUKE.
Said When Slaves, Negroes c m
High, Now Too Cheap.

Dublin, Sept. 11.-Cave Springs col
Ored Baptist church presented an ami
mated scene all day yesterday. A re-
vival was in progress and long before
the hour of commencing services five
white men, dispensers of illicit whisky,
established themselves within fifty
yards of the edifice and sold to the Ne
groes. About the time the opening
hymn was being sung several members
were feeling gleeful. and four or five
white men were staggering over the
grounds. After dinner the preacher
and leading members begged the
drunken men to behave, but the appeals
were in vain. When services were an
nOunced it seemed to be impossible to
get a dozen in the house, so engrossed
were the members with the whisky
traffic. Parson Johnson said in part:
Years ago you niggers were sold
from 500 to $4,000 and you all acted like
niggers. But now you can be bought
for a bottle of rotten whisky.
Il am not surprised at some OF you
going to the chair gang
The Negroes did not like the re-
marks, but had to be content. At night
pandemOnium reigned and preaching
had to be dispensed with. The brawI-
ers took possession of the place, carOus-
ing, and cursing until the congregation
DISPERSED.
