ABOUT THE MARKET.
A Member OF the Board of Health
Approves OF the Plan!


Since the meeting of the Board
of Health Wednesday there has
been much controversy on the
streets regarding the matter Of SELL
ing fish, which was brought up by
a letter from J. F. Colburn asking
that he may be allowed to sell fish
on Maunakea street. In converse
ton yesterday with a gentleman
we'll up in on Board OF Health
matters. the following expression
of opinion was had;
"The Government must not lose
sight for one moment that conve-
nierce of the people should have
first consideration. With that as a
foundation, the matter of selling
fish at other places than the pres
ent Honolulu market will be seen
in a more favorable light"
"The new market is certainly so
far superior to the old one that the
two should not be mentioned in
the same breath. Everyone in
Honolulu recognizes that a good
work has been accomplished in its
establishment. So far, so good"
"The comfort and convenience
of the public is another question
which too many people disregard.
The Government alone is benefited
by the sale of fish at the Honolulu
market"
Il will admit that the fish which
go forth from that place are beyond
suspicion. Why couldn't the same
rules obtain in other places-Mau-
nakea street for instance ?
"Of course the proposed branch
fish markets should be inspected
and kept clean.
cit does simplify matters great
deal to have a central market for
the purchase of fish, but that is not
taking into consideration the feel
ing of the public in the matter. l
can only say that l think such
branch fish markets should be esta
blished, and believe that they can
be kept in a manner satisfactory to
the Government"

School Notes.
BY the B. Class.


Our artists, Misses Winnie White
and Aribel Wills are drawing large
maps of ancient Greece, as we are
in need of such maps for reference
in studying General History.
This cold weather hurries the
scholars to the warmth of the school
fire, and not so much pleasure is
found in lingering at the gate as
during the bri ght sunshine.
The unexpected change in the
weather, being unforeseen, caused
the water pipes to freeze up and
burst, and the result was that we
had to get water from a pail until
they were repaired.
At the next meeting of the H. S.
L. S. new officers will be elected.
New officers are elected once a
month so as to give each member a
chance OF gaining little expert
ence in that Kind of work,
English and American literature
is now quite an interesting study of
the A class. On Friday afternoon
they commenced studying "The
Merchant Of Venice written by
Shakespeare.
Monday afternoon the Professor
failed to appear when the last bell
rang. Coming into the room about
ten minutes late, he was met by. the
startling notice on the blackboard,
"No admittance after the doors are
closed" and other similar phrases.
He accused us of hard heartedness,
but he would not have let us come
in by the fire even to warm ourselves
if we had been tardy. II the. pupils
were tardy no oftener than the Pro-
fessor there would be no necessity
for the'rule regarding tardiness, this
being the first time he has been tar
dy for hve or SIX years.
:. Last Friday afternoon the H. S.
TaS, gave their second.public en-
tertainment. A debate was the most
interesting feature of the afternoon.
The subject was. Resolved, That
Columbus deserves more honor for
discovering America than Wash
ington does for defending it, Net
tie Harrington, Orr McMinimy
and Myrtle Sharrah were on the
affirmative and Charles Ingle, Will
lie White and Elma Clarke were
on the negative. After very in
teresting discussion of the subjec,
the judges decided in favor of the
affirmative. Those who took par
in the other part of the program
were Arlibel Wills, Winnie White
Edward Doyle, Olive Neal, ane
Bernice Day. Edward Doyle's es
say on Time" was exceedingl,
interesting and deserves especia
mention.

Our Delayed winter.

The severe winter of the past few
days has abated and left us practically
without injury from the freeze. APP
prehension prevailed for the peach
crop, but the crisis is happily passed
and the prospect Is very encouraging
for large yield of this favorite fruit.
The only damage indicated is to the
apricots. This fruit has never been
grown here in large quanti.is for the
reason that it is not profitable crop to
market under our unfayorable facilities
for shipment. The lowest point
reached by the thermometer was IL de-
grees below zero on Monday morning.
The east wind was universally strong
for three days and caused n good deal
personal discomfort and Inconvenience
Such continued cold weather accompa-
MED by wind was never experienced i'm
this valley before. The coolest days of
other winters have always been colder
and much less unpleasant than this
short delayed winter Lewiston and
the Clearwater valley were favored over
any other section of the country A
blizzard ragged over the east and at every
point east Of the Cascade mountains
the conditions were much more unfa
vOrable than here. The cold was much
more intense in all the lower fruit belt,
than here and it Is reported fruit i,
more or less damaged at every poin
heard from.
At the regular council meeting Mon
day there was but little business done
except the discussion of the sand nui
sance. That subject was continued til
next Monday, when It will be takel
up ag Ain at special meeting.

Chairman Jones Discusses the Returns
From Maine.
WASHINGTON, Sept II. = Senator
Jones, chairman Of the Democratic Ma.
tional committee, has left Washington
for Chicago. When asked for an opin.
ion as to the result of the Maine cleo.
ton, he said:
"When we consider that before the
Democratic national convention was
held, the Democrats of Maine held a
convention and nominated gold ticket
on a gold platform. and that subse-
quently they met and reversed this ac-
ton, declaring for silver. and that this
was followed soon by an election at
which the party cast 5000 more votes
than it did two years ago. think it
shows a marvellous gain for silver. IN.
stead, therefore, of feeling disheartened
over the result, feel greatly encour.
aged. 1t must be remembered that
Maine is iii the extreme East, where we
never have hoped for any but the most
meagre results for silver The returns
ought to add to the hopes of our friends
all over the country.
