ejectment suits of Craven against Fair
and Craven against Oeirichs.
The dispositions took place before N otary
Phillips in the Crocker building, the. first
consuming all the morning and part of
the afternoon. Miss Virginia Fair was to
have followed Mrs. Oelrlchs in the first
suit, but she being reported by her coun-
sci as indisposed, Mrs. Oelrichs followed
= herself in the second suit over the. same
ground she had trodden or been led in the
first.
Indeed. almost all the testimony was
the same as that developed in the viii case
Just week ago.
There was. however, a fIutter of interest
awakened when the witness in answer to
question as to her reason for her lack of

forward by Mrs. Craven declared that the
last words her father ever spoke to her
were: II will never marry again." That
was in November, 1895.

of garbage. Their receptacles for
holding kitchen refuse and sweep
ings is limited, and their observ-
ance of the regulation hours for
depositing containers in places
where the drivers of the garbage
wagons can have access to them is
spasmodic.
Occasionally they manage to get
their boxes and baskets on the
sidewalks before the wagons get
around but usually they are an
hour or two late, and the stuff re-
mains exposed to the sun and
passes through a limited period OF
putrifaction before the driver gets
around the next day. Every one
of these baskets containing refuse
so exposed is precursor of dis
ease which follows in their wake.

up, and another, a few feet further
off, was opened up.
Some of the stores and dwellings
in this section are of two stories,
the upper floors being occupied by
one family and the lower floor by
another, tenement fashion and it
is in these where the greatest
difficulty is encountered. The pipes
leading to the top floors are often
of poor material and make and the
drippings from these pipes keep
the ground below in a moist state
at all times. In the absence OF
pipes for carrying away waste
water, the occupants of these
houses throw the water from the
upper verandas to the ground with
out considering the danger or res
pecting the comfort of the persons
below.
Among these people there is
more or less trouble in the matter

and back of the tumble down shed
shown in the sketch was house
in which there were several cases
of cholera during the siege last
summer. All that remains of the
house now is few charred sticks.
One or two of the houses in the
group are unoccupied by orders of
the Board of Health and this
branch of the Government has
supplied the people with homes
since then at considerable
expense pending the time the own
ers of the property would have
the place filled up. Atyesterday's
meeting of the Board the secretary
was ordered to notify the owners to
put the place in proper condition

VIGILANCE IS THE KEYNOTE

tentfon-Dredger Work on Nuuanu. .

One of the most interesting
topics of discussion in the Board
of Health meeting yesterday was
the inspection of the Chinese dis
trict for the purpose of having the
place as free from causes of disease
as possible.
The resignation of CIV. R. King
as health inspector was, to GER
tain extent, the cause which led up
to the discussion.
What is known as Chinatown
takes in the Eva side of Nuuanu
street and runs from the sea to
Beretania street, and it was within
these borders that the citizens
committee, during the cholera
scare, worked hardest to keep clean.
While known as Chinatown, visit
to the district will show that the
population is nearly equally di-
vided between Hawaiians and
Asiatics
The difficulty in keeping this
section of the city in good sanitary
condition was explained to an
ADvERFFsER representative by Med
ical Inspector Wayson while
going the rounds yesterday. In
nearly every building the closets
and cesspools are in such close
proximity to the living rooms that
unless they are kept absolutely
clean and fumigated they will, at
least, develop certain diseases, il
not contagious ones.
A restaurant on Nuuanu street,
south of King, has a closet within
a half dozen feet of dining table
and directly adjoining the pantry
In another the closet was so con-

considerable uneasiness among the
people in the vicinity is on King
street, where the dredger-Pipe dis
charges into the old bed of Nuuanu
stream. Yesterday the pipe, as
shown in the sketch, was discharg-
ing quantities of dirty water and
mud, but it was absolutely odorless
and it's danger as a fever producer
is not apparent.
Under the new assignments this
district will be under the super
vision of N. P. Jacobson who has
proven a valuable acquisition as
an inspector of the districts on the
Eva side of Nuuanu stream. 1t
will be arranged so that he can
visit the crowded section once daily
and the country districts less
frequent.
That the Board of Health can
keep the city free from disease in a
section as crowded as this, where
the law governing cubic space al
lowed to each individual is pro-
minent in its absence, and where
there is absolutely no sewerage sys-
tenn, borders on the miraculous.

cleanly; made so, probably, by the
vigilance of the health officers, for,
with knowledge that the.inspeesor
is likely to come in at any time,
they are careful to keep their places
reasonably tidy. In none of the
places were found accumulation of
garbage-the stuff had all been put
outside-so that if there was cause
for complaint, the responsibility
would fall upon the wagons.
On the mauka side of Queen
street, along the new extension of
that thoroughfare, is, perhaps, the
best microbe producer to be found
anywhere on the islands.

ABSOLUTION.


u.r. ma onens the door at once to that tremen-
dous debate as to the power OF the keys Those
outside Of the Catholic Church with no sympathy
for It's traditions may smile at this historic dis
cuss,on as an ado about nothing. But to those
who by heredity and training are compelled to
believe that to certain class Of men Is given the
mower Of reward and punishment in the world to
come, the controversy is serious one and one
which has long been settled. Mr. Lea argues
that the power attributed to priests was for a
long time only hestatingly allowed to martyrs
and saints already dead. THE early Christians"
he SAWS would have stood aghast at the sugges-
ton that God would confer such awful authority
on every vicious and ignorant man VINO through
favor or purchase might succeed In obtaining

accepted in Europe, even In the Dark Ages.

fact. The transmission OF the power from the
Apostles to those who were assumed to be their
successors IL the most audacious non sequitur in
history, and the success of the attempt can
scarce be overestimated as a factor in the de-
yelopment OF religion and civilization" He finds
nothing but vague or sporadic utterances on the
subtect for centuries. Even 0ratian, the au-
thorItative canon lawyer Of the age preceding
the rise Of universities felt no obligation to COM
NIT himself as to the power OF the priest to remit
aims. Abelard resisted the growing belief with

site to the slowly evolved doctrine. the upsnot OF
the matter being that only the Deity couid save
