A number of the farmers of the coun-
ty assembled at the court house on Sat-
urday to hold an informal convention,
the purpose of which was to look after
the enforcement of the law providing
for the burning and burying of hogs dy-
ing from cholera. The meeting was
fairly well attended and a resolution
was adopted asking for strict enforce
ment of the law. A committee was ap-
pointed to look after this matter but
owing to the fact that the secretary of
the meeting took the minutes with him
We are unable to say who constitute
the committee. In this connection we
would suggest that it is a duty every
person owes to the community in which
he lives that every man should appoint
himself committee of one to see that
the carcasses in his vicinity are dispos-
ed of. In emergencies like this too
much precautlon cannot be taken.

Hon. Frank T. Patton was In town
last Friday and Saturday shaking
hands with his numerous friends. He,
like the rest of us, is not satisfied with
the work done by the recent session of
the legislature but says that it is al
most miracle that anything was done.
Mr.. Patton, however, is blameless, as
he voted consistently On every measure
and he has fulfilled every pledge he has
made to his constituents. Before this
appears In print he will have left for
Topeka, from which place he will 20 to
Oregon If his Intentions of Saturday
are carried into effect He expects to
engage in the shesp industry in the
northwestern country In partnership
with an uncle. We are sorry to lose
him. He has always been one of Bar
Der county's best citizens and an ear
nest and hard worker in the reform
cause. While we regret his departure
we wish him boundless success in his
new location.

the position taken by the priests when
they do their beating in the streets.
He alluded further TO the badness OF
the pates of all the priests.
The work given to the blind among
the Japanese was interestingly told.
tigues of a long journey, arrived in n
Japanese community and wanted
something to give him comfort, blind
person was always sent for to admin
lister the '1omi-lomi' so familiar to-
the people on the islands. They were
trained to do this special line of work.
After dwelling on some other facts
noticed along the way, Mr.. Waterhouse
spoke of the evils prevailing in Japan.
prominent among them being the vast
number of houses of ill-repute where
girls went or were taken, even with
the consent of their fathers. 1t was
just such things as that Christianity
should overcome and that showed the
field.
While in Japan Mr.. Waterhouse ran
across Keaweamahi, at one time very
prominent native in Honolulu. When
seen by the speaker he was enjoying
the best of health and was doing
grand work among the Japanese in
trying to bring them to Christ.
There was but a short time left be-
fore the regular closing hour so that
but few facts about China could be
brought forth.
The Chinese were like the Jap
anese, very slow to embrace Christian
ity In alluding to the work done
among them, the fact was brought out
that the father of Mrs. Frank Damon
labored for ten years before he got a
single convert. Now the work was
progressing, but more workers were
needed.
The old estimate of inferiority held
by the Cinnamon in regard to their
women, was losing ground to some ex-
tent. The recognition of the ability
of women and their capacity as a help
er, was fact becoming a certain factor.
Macao, the Portuguese settlement,
was spoken of. Portuguese settle
ment'' was a misnomer as there were
only about 400 of that nationality in
the place-a mere sprinkling when
compared with the vast number OF
Chinese. The work of the Portuguese
was to get all the money out of the
pockets of the Chinese.
The big gambling den in Macao, was
feature of the place. One or two
other minor points were dwelt upon
and the speaker closed
Mr. Waterhouse is a fine speaker in
Hawaiian and has the art SO much
appreciated by natives of describing
by gestures what he is talking about.
He has the happy faculty of putting
certain facts in an amusing light which
holds the attention of his audience to
the main body of his discourse and,
like yesterday, sends the people away
wishing that they could have heard
more.
In fact several of the members OF
Kawaiahao expressed the hope that at
sometime in the near future. Mr..
Waterhouse would have more to say
on japan and China.

| bility of grasping what is for their
own good.
Mr.. Waterhouse spoke first of Japan
and said that, although the people OF
that country were bright and full of a
spirit OF push, they were still very far
Hawaii with population which would
be mere drop in the bucket when
compared with that of Japan, could
give her a very great many pointers.
This was, in the speakers minds,
something to be proud of, and he hoped
some day to see missionaries from
these islands going forth to preach
the Gospel to the benighted Japanese.
The field was a large one and the
workers few, who would volunteer to
work?
Mr.. Waterhouse then called for
some one to give the Ten Comand-
ments and, without single mistake
and in concert, the boys from the Re-
form School recited them.
This served to enforce the remark
made by the speaker, that the people
of Hawaii were very much enlighten-
ed in the matter of Christianity.
From speaking of the aspect of Jap
an from a Christian standpoint, Mr..
Waterhouse dwelt upon some of the
customs and practices among the Jap
anese people.
The Japanese are after the almighty
dollar necessarily. They are shrewd
and withal, polite.
They worship gods just as the Ha-
waiians did of old. Some of these are
very large, most valuable, universally
grotesque and, perhaps, from stand
points others than the Japanese, ugly.
Mr.. Waterhouse then spoke of some
of the principal places Of worship, so
familiar to those who have been
through and also to those who have
read about, the country. In this allu-
he caused a ripple of laughter to go
through the congregation.
The priests were also dwelt upon in
an amusing manner. They beat upon
instruments that reminded the speak
er of 'kaipu hula" Of the olden times
and this for two hours at a time,
mingling their beatings with a long
string of something that he, Of course,
could not make out. In a kneeling
posture Mr.. Waterhouse designated

AGAINST EXPANSION.
Some Japanese Favor Checking In
duStrial Fever.

Some Japanese Favor Checking In
dustrial Fever.
That there is a conservative element
evinced by the statements of the Di-
rector of the Commercial and Indus
trial Bureau Of Japan, recently made
before representatives of the Chamber
of Commerce. The Kobe Chronicle
quotes Mr. Taketomi, the Director, who
declared that there were some people
who advocated the advisability Of
checking the industrial fever which of
late years had overspread the country.
They argued that the Government
sum of 2,700, 100000 yen to meet the
special public expenditure to which the
country was committed, while all the
money available to meet that expendi-
ture would be 1900, 100000 yen. Under
these circumstances, they say, an eco
nomic crisis is inevitable; and it is,
therefore, advisable for the Govern
ment and the people to discourage the
industrial fever and diminish the de-
mand for capital. This, Mr.. Taketomi
said, was an entirely erroneous opin-
ion. Industrial enterprises cropped up
as natural consequence of the work
ing of the laws of supply and demand
and were not to be resisted by human
power. The Government ought not to
make the attempt, either. 1t is the
duty of the Government to encourage
enterprise.
For years he had taken great pains
to ascertain the total capital of the
Empire and he had reached the conclu-
sion that the total capital cannot be
less than 6,000,000,000 yen; in liberal
estimate he would put the amount at
5000. 900, 900 yen. Supposing 10 per
cent, profit to be yielded per annum on
this capital of 5000 100000 yen, there
was a profit of 600 900 900 yen. If half
the amount of that profit is added to
the capital, in 10 years that capital will
have increased by 5000, 100000 yen.
There would then be a surplus of 300,-
900, 900 yen over the estimate of the
fund 2,700,000,00 yen) required by the
Government in the next 10 years. The
resources of the Empire continue to de-
velop. The value of the foreign trade
of the Empire was now $50, 100000 yen,
which is triple or quadruple that of
90 years ago.

MADISON SQUARE DOESN'T PAY
The Big New York Garden an

The Big New York Garden an
Elephant to It's Projectors.
New York papers say that Madison
Square Garden, New York, is an i'm
posing structure, but it's income is not
commensurate with it's size. Since it
was built in 1890 it's average annual
loss is said to have been about $4,000,
and now it's owners are looking for
some one to buy it. 1t has been fig
urative elephant upon the hands Of
those who projected it.
This statement needs qualification,
however, for it has not been the gar
den itself so much as the theater, as
sembly halls and restaurant which
have been improbable. Hence it is not
to be inferred that there is not sufh-
cient demand for a large hall in the
metropolis. Undoubtedly one or the
needs of a large city is just such a
hall as the garden, for Boston is now
interested in the construction of one.

The Regiment team was not in good
form ON Saturday, consequently they
did not play good ball One of the
players remarked just before the game
'Out of the nine of us, half got out OF
the hospital this morning" Captain
German looked nettled as the game
progressed and the college boys held
them down to three runs. There was
no particular luck about the game; il
was won by the superior pla ying Of tie
ST. Louis team. The grounds we're
kept clear through the vigilence of
Lieutenant Edwards of the Mounted
Patrol and the enthusiasm of those in
the grand stand was kept in check Iy
the Leagues special officer, Captain
Bowers of the Merchants Patrol.
There was no coaching from the stand
and everything went along right merf-
rily from start to finish
The Regiment team went to bat first
and Bower tapped the first ball over
the plate and into center field where
Hansman pulled it down. Eddy Hem
messy made a short hit for a single
and while Luahiwa was waiting for
something good" he stole second and
third. Luahiwa got his base on balls
and then stole second. German made
a neat two bagger bringing in Hen
messy and Luahiwa; Davis struck out
and Kaanohi went out at first.
Thompson was the first victim to
Bowers wild throw and went to first.
Willis hit to center brought Thompson
home German threw wild to Moore
and Willis tailed, Kiwi went out at
first, Gleason made first on hit to short
and double play put the team out
with a score of and 2
In the second inning, Duncan, Kiley
and Bower each went out at first. For
the st. Louis, Lemon made a hit for a
base but went out while stealing sec
ond. Hansman and Holt got their base
on balls then Dayton flew out to Da-
Wis and Thompson went out at first.
Hennessy sent the ball to Kiwi at
right and made third on the young
mans muff. Luahiwa made a single
on a hit to third and Hennessy went
out at the plate. German struck out.
Kiwi couldn't hit the ball so the
ball hit him and he took first; he got
as far as third and there he was put
out. Willis went out at first and Le-
mon went out on foul fly to Kiley.
The fourth inning of the Regiments
was without interest and they failed
to tally. Hansman made a beautiful
hit over Moore's head and made first
Holt was struck by the ball and took
first. Dayton took first on balls and
every body looked to Thompson to put
the ball in a safe place and bring the
three men in. But he didn't-he
struck out. Willis sent the ball to
Moore and a double play with Davis
put Willis and Dayton out
In the fifth inning Bower took first
on balls and stole second. Moore
famed out and then Hennessy smote
the ball a mighty smite for two bases
and brought Bower home
The Waterloo came in the st. Louis
half of this inning when Kiwi, Glea-
son, Clarke, Hansman and Lemon
came over the plate in a canter
The score was seven to three at that
point and there it remained. The Re-
giments played as though they we're
beginning to feel the effects of the
Honolulu climate while the ST. Louis
lads kept at it in fine form. The score
is as follows:
