NEW CHINESE HOSPITAL IN PALAMA.

they put up a hospital building as sug
gested in the petition.
The Chinese merchants who had The
matter in hand, and they were by IL
means few, set to work at once, wen
around to the main Chinese places o.
business, and soon had enough money
subscribed to make the starting of the
| building a matter beyond question
| Among the main subscriptions were
| the following: Sing Chong Co., $500
Wong Kwai and Y. Ahin, $500 eacn
l.. Ahlo, 5000; Wong Leong, Wing We
Tai, Lum Chung Wa, Wing Wo Chan
and Goo Kim, $3.50 each; Hop Hing
$120; zee Wo Chan, Yuen Kee Co,
Kwong Hip Lung, Kwong Sam kee,
Yet Lee Co. and Yuen Chong, 800
each. There were a number of others
who gave a hundred dollars very
much larger number of others VINO
gave smaller amounts, swelling the
amount to about $4,000 which the COM
mittee in charge will soon begin to
collect since the building is all but
completed and will be ready for oc-
cupancy during the latter part of Feb
ruary.
The following officers were elected 20
carry out the work in connection with
the hospitals: Chu Gem, president;
Wong Wa FOy of the Quong Sam Kee
Co, vice-president; Hong Quon Of the
Sing Chong Co, treasurer; L. T. Chin,
clerk for ]. S. Walker, secretary. The
Board of Trustees consists of twenty
influential Chinese of the city.
w. S. Akana, one of the most prom
inent Chinese physicians in the city,
was elected superintendent. Asso-
ciated with him in the Immediately
work of the hospital will be two other
Chinese physicians not yet elected to
their posts and a foreign physician,
this probably having been decided on
because of the fact that quite a num-
Der of Chinese prefer other than their
OVID physicians.
The contract for building the hospi-
tai was given to the Oahu Lumber and
Building Association and the superin-
tendence to Kau Wing Chew. The
work kas pushed along and now as
limited above the building is nearly
completed. For airness and light no
building in town is any better and its
slight elevation from the territory sur
rounding gives it a view that must
neeuS De VI very great advantage III
an institution of it's kind.
Its situation could not have been
more happily chosen. Within conve-
nient distance of King street it is still
far enough away and shut off so COM
pletely by the buildings and trees that
intervene between it and the street
just mentioned, that noises coming
from that thOroughfare are spent be-
fore reaching the hospital.
In the immediate vicinity are but
few dwellings and these the homes Of
peaceably inclined natives and Chi
nese.
Perahps the only element of annoy
ance to the hospital will be the firing

The right half of the upper story is

the same style as the main building.
On a line with this and near the
rear boundary of the premises, is a
small one-room house for the prepare

The grounds are particularly we'll
adapted for the setting out of trees and
Towering plants. Separated from the
lawns to the right and left by a wide
driveway, is a circle Immediately in
front of the main building. The CEN
ter of this will be occupied by a flag
pole and about it various kinds Of
plants will be set out. Trees will be
planted on the lawns.
The'hOSpital completed and furnish
ed will cost in the neighbOrhOOd Of
$1,000. Of this amount $4,000 has been
subscribed and since there is now in
the treasury of the Chinese BenevO-
lent Society, $4,000 to be used toward
the hospital, everything can be paid
up Immediately and a. surplus of $1,000
will remain in the treasury, this
amount to be used to defray the eX-
penses of the first year, if indeed they
will reach that amount.
The Chinese feel justly proud of the
benevolent work they have carried TO
such a successful termination and are
determined to keep the good work Ct
the hospital going right along.
The Advertiser extends its thanks TO
Messrs. Hong Quon of the Sing ChOng
Co. and Ho Fong of Bishop & Co., for

BLAKE'S ARREST
But Small Horn of Opium
Found in ValiSe.
No Trace of Large Quantity Sup
posed to Have Been
Landed.

| For several weeks the detectives
have been watching a certain COM
bination and especially ]. w. Blake
who arrived in Honolulu from Van
couver, b. c., in December last.
this in pursuance of the Marshals or
ders given after having received infor-
nation from a reliable source
The watch during the past three
weeks was more vigilant than ever and
the object of all this nosing around Of
the detectives was Blake, who has a
cottage in Fowler's Yard, the place in
which he has resided since his arrival
in the country.
Late on the night of Tuesday, Janu-
airy Goth, information was commune
Gated to David KAPPA to the effect that
opium had been seen to go into the
cottaege, No. 72, occupied by Blake
On the next day the detectives started
in to shadow the place and keep even
closer watch than ever on Blake who
was seen to leave the cottage quite
early. Strange as it may seen, he did
not return and was not seen all day
long
In the evening he was seen hang
ing about in the vicinity of the shoot
ing gallery and other places in the
immediate vicinity on Hotel street
A little later on he was seen to cross
over to the California Wine Company
where he was met by Opium" Brown
in the deep shadow of the doorway
Immediately there followed a muf-
fed conversation of nearly three
quarters of an hour.
This finished Brown went toward
Fort on the mauka side of the street
while Blake crossed over and going
up Nuuanu, was lost sight of in Chap
lain Lane.
At about $40 p. m, he was seen to
come down Nuuanu street with
Brown. The two walked to King
street and over to Castle e. Cookies
corner where they took a hack and
drove off. That was the last seen of
Blake for that night and the next
day.
Between II and II o'clock Thursday
night he was seen to enter his cottage
and just shortly before 1 a. m. Friday,
Detective KAPPA stepped in and arrest
ed his man.
Upon searching the premises no
opium could be found but the fact that
one of the two satcheIs which Blake
was known to be the possessor, was
absent, gave the detectives some hope.
Blake was locked up and yesterday
morning a warrant of search for the
office of the Machines Home was Sc
cured and the detectives started out on
their mission.
John Gilberston, the old janitor,
was asked if he knew of a certain
satchel which Blake had left there.
To this he replied in the affirmative
and going over to a trunk, took out
the required article.
Upon opening this, one very large
lichee nut, completely filled with
opium, was found. In the opinion CT
the detectives this was the last Of the
which had been passed around
to retail Chinese opium dealers. The
contents of the nut gave every appear
ance of having been put in not more
than three days ago.
The case of Blake will come up in
the police vourt for trial on Tuesday,
February End.

LEASE ALL RIGHT
No Delay in Starting the New
Plantation.
PUMPS AND PLOWS ORDERED
Satisfactory Settlement of
the McCand1eSS Lease.
Efforts to Get Steam PloWs in Cali
fOrnia-Work Will Begin
Promptly.

The matter of the lease of the lane
to be occupied by the new Oahu plan
tatiOn has been settled.
A siXty-years lease has been signed
and delivered, and everything is in the
best of shape. Steps to put in the big
pumps will be at once taken. They
were ordered by the Picking and steam
plOws were sent for at the same time
An effort will be made to secure the
latter in California, and failing thre
| the order will go to Scotland.
The controversy referred to in after
noon papers of yesterday could have
no effect upon the plantation project
nor the lease. 1t is case entered more
than a year ago to establish one point:
Whether Mrs. Brown holds the prop
erty in fee simple, or has merely a
life interest in it. AS ranch, the prop
erty would net the children 81 900 per
annum; as a sugar plantation the in
come from it would be about $40 OOO
1t is not to be supposed that a court.
acting for the interests of the children,
would hesitate to sanction "a lease on
this basis. Such contingency was
never apprehended, and has never
arisen, as might be supposed from pub
lished reports.
The trouble, then arose over a lease
for fifteen years of One-third of the
Waipio property, made twelve years
ago, to l.. l.. McCandless. Mr. McCand-
less first offered to accept a rental of
Sc, 900 per year for twelve years for
his lease. This was amended to pro-
pOsal of this kind: Mr. McCandless
agreed to expend 5000 in clearing Ian
tana from the place, and then to accept
$4,000 as full consideration for his
lease. In the meantime an affidavit
by Mr.. Ballou was filed in the Circuit
Court, which, it appears, was not
clearly understood.
A special meeting of the stockholders
of the plantation was held yesterday
morning. Mr.. McCandless sent to a
stakeholder a third proposal, which
was accepted. 1t was this: The plan
tations rental of land for sixty years
is to be one and one-half per cent of
the total output of sugar. Mr. Nc
Candless agreed to waive his lease for
One-third of this amount, which would
be one-half of one per cent. of the
output. This was agreed to. At the
same time Mr.. Dillingham; made GER
tain pasturage concessions, which re-
moved the last barrier in the way of
the lease. Upon that basis the matter
was settled
The Waipio property is quite val
liable tract. Nearly all of it is below a
level of 100 feet. 1t is in easy range of
water no matter where, on the planta-
ton, the pumping plants may be sta
toned. The property as a whole is ad-
mitted by the best judges to be one of
the most perfect plantation sites in the
Islands. With the road all clear, every
thing will now go ahead

The accompanying cut will give a
good idea of the hospital. Immediate
~ facing it is the Reform School on
the other side of what is known as
"Huapala Lane" a lane which. runs
parallel with Beretania street and
joins Robello lane. Surrounding the
whole of the spacious grounds, with
the exception of the front is a ten
foot board fence. The front is of
pickets neatly planed and painted aud
is provided with a handsome gate.
Coming to the main hospital build
ing one enters by low steps and finds
himself Immediately on a ten-toot
veranda running completely around
the building and to the right continu-
ing back to the dining room and kitch-
en- in the rear.
Nearly the whole of the lower floor
is occupied by the main room of the
building 2Sx50, which is supplied with
eight windows and three doors. Like
all the rest of the rooms the ceiling
is very high and the color of the paint
used, light and of hue calculated to
cneer rather tnan uepreSS the lnValluS.
To the right and opening out upon
the front veranda, is the superinten-
dents office. Back of this and TO the
right is the examining room ard to
the left a room of equal size opening
into the hospital part. This will be
used for the medicine.
AS mentioned above the veranda
runs back to the dining room and

ID LOST THE GUNS.
While Debating Co. c Scooped
the Drill Rifles.

A funny thing happened at the drill
shed last night which showed a defect
in the present arrangement of keeping
rack of guns at the armory for drill
ing purposes. Both G and d, it being
their night TO drill, were invited to
come unarmed and to use the extra
guns. The case worked out like this:
While D was holding a short business
meeting, Company c. took the rifles
and marched out to the drill grounds.
So the giants" had no drill. An effort
will be made to have one of the com
panies drill on Saturday evenings

there are Il number of sharks always
ready to take advantage of a mans
misfortune and these people haunt the
courthouse and bid in property from

Many PeoDle Cling to Derciict Preachers

Many People Cling to Derciict Preachers
After Their Guilt Is Proven.
There's one thing l can't under
stand" said man of the world. That
is the ferceness of church fights and
the ability of every man who is a
preacher to rally 70 his support scores
OF good people, no matter what his con-
duct may have been. Once a man gets
attached to a church, though he may
get into trouble the next week and
the nature of his trouble may tend to
discredit religion, he has the support
OF these good people. 1 recall three
cases right now.
"a minister was called to a church
and he had hardly more than accepted
the charge when his wife sued him for
divorce. She charged cruelty and all
that. The members of the congrega-
ton knew absolutely nothing about the
merits of the case. He was stranger
to them, but they rallied around him,
pitied him, sent flowers to him, and,
hguratively speaking, cursed and reviled
the woman whom he had promised to
love, cherish and protect, though twas
proved he hadn't done anything of the
kind. The papers printed columns OF
the stuff, and every line of it was dam
age to the cause of religion and par
ticular damage to the church. But
these good people stood by him and are
standing by him yet. If the wife gets
divorce they will continue to stand by
him, and will condemn the woman.
Another recent case that has figured
in the newspapers is Of man who has
clearly outlived his usefulness in the
church. The church is in debt. Not
enough money is raised to pay running
expenses. The organization has run
down. 1t has been getting worse ever
since this man took hold. The fact is
notorious, yet enough people cling to
him to keep him in the church and make
it might unpleasant for anybody who
says a word against him.
"A third case that has also figured
largely in the papers is that of man
whose character is well known and who
has bamboozled everybody who ever
had any financial tranactiohs with him.
Yet he is able to hang on, and is sur
rounded in all his troubles by a crowd
of women and men who call him dear
and pity him and denounce the men
who are trying to have him deposed as
II gang of prosecutors. These three
cases simply come to my mind now. If
l sat down and thought could recall
a bookful. Now, PROFESSIONALLY, this
is all wrong. 1t isn't business, and it
hurts religion. 1t keeps men in the
ministry who are wholly unfit to be
there and are continually bringing dis
credit upon the church. The most pc
culiar thing about it all is that in almost
every row there will be found on the
side of the pastor some business men
who would no more think of running
their business in the way the church is
run than they would think of flying.
II anybody suggested their keeping a
malcontent they would say that the
man who suggested it must think they
were craZy."--N. Y. Sun.
