brothers finish the square. Where
ever the Baldwin Home is inspected
the most scrupulous systemat c
order is visible. To keep 1870 diseased
mon at work and uuder q perfect
discipline is task that few would
undertake and fe YER could accom-

who work for glory Ito Gomez and
not for dollars have fulfilled their
task. Kalawao can also boast OF a
band and Prof. Berger took pleasure
in spending two hours with the boys
teaching them with some new pieces
and given them pointers. The band
boys are enthusiastic and their
music is highly appreciated by their
fellow sufferers. Bat even on Mo'o-

GENERAL IMPRESSION.

After the visit to Kalawao the
party returned to Kalaupapa. Sew
eral visitors called at DR.. divers
beautiful residenc, aud a trip was
also taken by some to the saugb ter
house. The beef there certainly
justified some complaints in regard
to the meat furnished the lepers. 1t
would probably be wise and justi-
fable to pay little more for good
cattle than giving the poor people
the slightest just cause for COM
plant.
A number of the visitors rode up
to the "crater" aud looked into the
|unfathomable water at the bottom
Of it.
Returning to Kalaupapa a re-
freshing luncheon was served at the
Office OF the Board Of Health, where
after a meeting Of the Board was
held where administrative matters
were discussed, Very few "com-
plants" were heard. or course
there was little grumbling now
and then. 1t cannot be expected
that 100 sick and mostly ignorant
people should exist without one or
more kickers.
Somebody wanted a poi factory,
another complained that the store
charges too much profit" then
again there was growl over the
quality Of beef, and then someone
wanted paint for house, or a fence
or other similar trivial items. The
Board granted the requests when
ever reasonable aud took other
matters into consideration. Here ia
where. the advantages OF frequent
visits to the Settlement show.
Water however is needed. A 12in.
main pipe from Waikolu ought to
be built aud Kalawao as we'll az Ka'
laupapa would have a supply which
would turn the fertile lands into
use, The grave problem with
which the Board of Health has tc
deal is the question OF fuel. The
expense of sending fuel from other
districts would simply be enormous
and without sufficient water it il
useless to attempt planting trees
The sides OF the mountains formerly
covered with trees are as bare as {
rock and the distance and difficulties
connected with, procuring fire wooC
are getting greater every year, LIE
us hope that the Legislature viii
appropriate sufficient money at tn,
earliest date, and that money will b,
available to improve the waterwork
at The Settlement.

The LEpER SETTLRM8T

The soard of Health Pays Its Semi
Annual Visit to Molokai-The
Grand Humanitarian Institution
Excellently Conducted.
La former days the Leper Settle
ment at Molokai was visited once in
two years, whenever the Legislature
was in session. A committee was
appointed by the President OF the
Legislative Assembly and general
exodus of the committee, other legis-
lators and everyone else having a
pull, took place for Molokai.
There, legislative spree" was
held. A mass meeting was held and
the "sea la vyers" of the Settlement
aud the "lawyers" OF the Legislature
fired eloquent speeches at each
other to the mutual satisfaction Of
both parties. A dray load OF COM
plants was then produced from the
leaders of the lepers ,and conveyed
to Honolulu in the hold OF the
steamer together with the "dead
Legislative marines"
When the legislators had recover
ed from their sea voyage, they met in
the halls of wisdom once more aud
after a while a voluminous report
about the "horrid" condition Of the
lepers and the Settlement was pre-
sented-to the extreme satisfaction
Of the committee--And the printer,
and eventually pigeon.holed to the
extreme dissatisfaction OF the lepera
who we're forced to wait another two
years for a chance to be heard-and
pigeon-holed.

DIFFERENT METHODS.
The present Board Of Health has
adopted a different and far wiser
policy. The Board is now iu con-
staut touch with the Settlement.
The members understand the condi-
tons thoroughly from frequent per
sonal inspections and when matters
pertaining to the Settlement arise
each member knows just what no is
talking about. The result is that tho
"mass meetings" have become un-
necessary and that the volumes Of
complaints" have been relegated
to history. There is no "politics in
leprosy." We believe that the adj
ministrations of the monarchial
government were as earnest in de-
vising the best means for the succor
of the unfortunate wards OF the
country as are the administration OF
the Republic. Rome was not built
in one day and there can be no
denial that experience has taught
the present Board of Health sys-
ten which is and ought to be an inn
provement OF that in vogue in past
days. Men, women and children
suffering from the dread disease are
not sent to Molokai as punish
ment" or as precaution Of an un-
reasonable fear on the part Of the
Government. The interest OF the
individual must submit to the well
fare of the state, and for the pro
lection of the many the segregation
of the few, however, harsh the
measure may seem, has been adopt
ed, But the community realizes lis
duty to the few, and in the hands oil
the Board OF Health the Lepei
Settlement has now become an in,
stitution the like OF which canno,
be found in the world.

by the Kalaupapa band. The Right
Rev. Bishop OF Panopols, was Que
Of the frat to land and after greet
ing the people proceeded to the
church whore he celebrated Mass,
the church being crowded to it's
utmost capacity. People who are
laboring under the idea that the
Leper Settlement on Molokai is
horrid hell hole, are suffering under
mistake, undoubtedly uninten-
tionally. Any stranger having read
the descriptions OF Kalaupapa by
morbid tourists or sensational news
paper fakirs would be surprised in
deed by watching from the APP

which surround and enclose an oasis
where brightly painted houses and

is about two miles distant from Ka-

agree with all the visitors and one
gentleman used four horses, one
mule and two kanakas for his
journey to and from Kalawao.
When he gets home he will join the
Mikado's cavalry. The road to Ka-
lawao is in an excellent condition.
Brown rode over it on his wheel
and DR.. Oliver finds il as good a
carriage road as seen anywhere in

can be obtained there are prospects

THE BALDWIN HOME,

The noble example set by Mr.,
Bishop has been followed by an
other philantropist, Mr.. Henry p,
Baldwin, of Haiku, Maui, who few
years ago donated large amount
OF money for the erection of a Home
for leprous boys. We don't know
whether Mr.. Baldwin recently has
visited the Settlement but we know
that the condition and appearance
OF his home would cause him the
greatest satisfaction and that he
would consider his donation we'll
spent indeed. Under the ceaseless
care Of Brother Dutton and his help
mates of the same Christian order,
the wilderness has disappeared aud
a fertile picturesque garden spot
has been created. An immense
lawn that would be the envy OF
many OF our local magnates is sur
rounded by cosy cottages on the
three sides and at the makai side
the pretty houses occupied 10y the
