in Honolulu, started minstrel organl-
cation, after a brief visit of the famous
old-time Backus' Minstrels, which in
cluded Jerry Bryant, Sher. Campbell,
o. n. Burbank and the inimitable
Charley Backus himself, whose per-
formances were immensely enjoyed. 1t
was by this means that the members
of the impromptu organization, after
a short and prosperous season, pro-
cured funds enough to settle up their
Indebtedness, as otherwise they could
not have secured the usual permit to
leave the country. After that, Bray
continued in the minstrel business,
and eventually married Mrs. Craw-
ford, a semi-actress, whose acquaint-
ance he made in Honolulu, and whose
daughter after Became the wife OF

ary, 1858, Annette Ince, accompanied
by her brother and sister, who were
also en- route to Australia, alternated
with Emma Stanley, who gave her
amusing monologue entertainment,
interspersed with rapid changes of
character. Miss Ince paid Honolulu a
second visit on her return trip en- route
to San Francisco, and met several
stranded actors, including Lambert F.
Beatty, who, with Miss Eloise and
others, had gone to Honolulu with
great expectations. In the fall of 1858

BOARD OF HEALTH
President Smith Reports
on Insane Asylum.
Inspector KeIiipio Made Health
Agent-Petition in Behalf
of a Physician.

At the regular weekly meeting of tht
Board of Health, held yesterday after.
noon, there were present President
Smith, Drs. Day, Wood, Monsarrat
Howard and Emerson, Messrs. Keliipic
and Reynolds.
Under the Act to Mitigate, DR.. Non
sarrat's report showed 20 examina-
tions during the week.
Fish Inspector Keliipio's report
showed 1900 fish received during the
week.
a petition from 128 natives of La
haina, Maui, asking that DR.. C. David
son be reinstated as Government ply
sician at that place, was read. The Pc
titioner expressed their confidence in
the doctor and asked the Board for
an earnest consideration of their pc
tition. The secretary was instructed
to acknowledge the receipt of the Pc
tition, stating therein the Boards in
tention to consider the matter.
President Smith announced that he
had made arrangements with the |. /.
S. N. Co. for the steamer Iwalani to
take the Board of Health and others
to Molokai a week from Friday.
President Smith said that he, Drs.
Wood, Day and others had visited the
Insane Asylum during the week, and
had come to the conclusion that the
Committee on Insane Asylum had not
overrated the need of more room for
inmates at that place. Mr.. Reynolds
had been instructed to make an esti-
mate for an immediate addition to the
present capacity.
President Smith further stated that
another survey had been made for a
cemetery site, which was just this
side of Moanalua. There were 4S
acres in this tract, and it was proba-
bly, the most eligible and desirable
site within the radius of the District of
Honolulu.
DR.. Day thought it would be better
plan to look toward the future of the
city and to look for a site for a ceme-
terry further away and perhaps out
side the limits of the District of Ho-
nolulu. In his opinion, buildings would
spread out in that direction and the
land be enroached upon.
The Board instructed the secretary
to inform the Minister of the Interior
that if cemetery could be established
within the limits of Honolulu, the
Board of Health was aware of no bet
ter place than the site picked out, just
this side of Moanalua. Also, that some
of the members had considered place
outside the District of Honolulu bet
ter for a cemetery.
A letter from DIR. Goodhue, recently
appointed to the District of Wailuku
and the hospital at that place, thank
ing the Board of Health for its kind
ness in giving him the place, was read
and fled
Dr. Wood informed the Board that
the anti-toxine supply had run out.
1t was voted that new lot be arrange5
for as soon as possible.
At p. m. the Board went into eX-
ecutive session.

THE BABY's GOD.

Sitting in the summer twilight
With a happy golden head
Pillowed on my arm one evening
To my little one l said:
up above the shadows, darling,
Far above the tree-tops tall,
Higher than the stars in heaven
Is Gods home beyond them all.
But his eyes are strong and loving
And he sees us sitting here,
Every word that we are saying
Though we whisper, he can hear
Naught she knew of sin to pardon
Nor of guilt to wash away,
Naught of burdens hard to carry;
Life to her could mean but play.
Deep the wide round eyes went search
ing
AS to pierce the spaces through,
While she whispered, gazing upward,
Pretty Jesus, peek-a-boow
Fellowship and sweet communion
In the little word were blent,
Faith as strong and love as tender
AS in prayer of wisest saint.
Could l chide her, blindly thinking
That the love which taught us all
With the glad to mingle gladness
Would not listen to her call?
We who are but older children
Scarce with wider wisdom pray
Pleading him to speed the project
Which is but larger play.
Yet we find him in our gladness
Quite as much as in our pain,
Sharer of our joy and sadness,
Sanctifying loss and gain.
He who heeds the falling sparrow
Hears the happy song-bird, too,
Love that bore the worlds great sor
row,
Heard the baby's Peek k-a-boor'

Rev. Samuel G. Smith, of the Min
nesota State University. who was one
of the speakers at the National Prison
Congress, which has just been held in
Milwaukee, brought out the interesting
fact that crime is more prevalent in
times of prosperity than during time
of business depression. This, he added,
was in part explained by the fact that
during times of prosperity drunken
ness and dissipation led up to the COM
mission of crimes.

Frank Mayo, Louise Graves and her
sister, Caroline, were the principal
members. Miss Graves became a great
Honolulu favorite, and played an ex-
tended range of business unknown to
leading actresses of the present day,
and was equally in her element as
Ophelia. or in executing a fancy dance
between the acts, as was customary in
those days. The lady is now the wife
of an ex-School Director of this city,
and. although retired from the stage.
she was induced to make her appear

CARLISLE'S CADIDACY.

The reports from Washington indi-
cate that Secretary Carlisle is to be the
administration candidate for the
Presidency and will likely be nomi-
mated.
In view or this fact the Durham cor
respondent has taken some pains to as
certain public sentiment in Durham.
If Mr.. Carlisle runs he will favor gold
standard, or that is what the Demo-
Gratis here believe, and if he has a
friend in the town or country he has
not been found. These people are for
free silver They have been taught
it for years by Democratic leaders,
and the decided and unequivocal posi-
ton Of the immortal Vance, whose
memory is cherished and reyered as
that of no other man who has lived
in North Carolina in the past century,
convinces them that what the country
needs is free silver.

ScrantOn'S New Hotel.

The formal opening. one week from
tomorrow, of the magnificent new Hotel
Jermyn will be an event of more than
ordinary significance to Scranton. 1t
will overcome q want which has for
many years, and especially during the
last few years, with their rapid devel-
opment, been conspicuously in evidence
the want of thoroughly modern
public place of refreshment and abode
ample enough to give entire accom-
modation to the increasing volume of
transient guests whom business OF
pleasure calls temporarily to our city
Not only will the new structure, in
size, design, and appointments, be a
credit to the Scranton Of today-it will
continue to be that for many years to
come. The courage which has prompt
ed Mr.. John Jermyn to invest in pro-
ject of this kind sum of money which
is in itself a large fortune even in this
day of great possessions is a signal tes-
timonial both to the builders personal
enterprise and to the commercial pros
poets of this community. Nor should
Mr.. Godfrey's share in the projects
completion escape grateful recognition.
He, too, has assumed risk which
only boundless faith in the city's possi-
bilities would justify; and, with Mr..
Jermyn, has given to the world another
evidence of the spirit which has made
Scranton what 1t Is.
That the faith of these enterprising
gentlemen in the continued growth of
this thrifty metropolis Of the anthra-
cite region is not misplaced we firmly
believe One cannot be blind to the
many evidences Of local development
which are arising on every hand. But
even II these evidences were less con-
spicuous than they are the presence in
the community Of men Of wealth SO will
ing as are the great majority Of our
rich citizens to put their resources at
the command Of worthy new institu-
tions would compel sure and steady
