Quantity on u. 5. Transport St.

DR.. Monsarrat, Inspector of Meats
and Arthur JOhnstone, Inspector OF
Food, examined and condemned yes
terday over 1900 pounds of beef, pork
and mutton belonging to the stores of
the transport st. Paul. On the way
down the cold storage plant of the
transport got out of order, and when
the vessel arrived here the meat was
removed to the Hawaiian Electric
Companys refrigerator. 1t was there
examined by the inspectors under a
Board of Health regulation which is
quite sweeping in it's application.
In his report TO the President of the
Board of Health the Food Inspector
stated that all of the meat was wholly
unfit for use. Upon receiving this in
formation Mr. Smith at once cOmmuni-
Gated the facts to Minister SewaI. The
result will doubtless be that the meat

There is a story in connection with
the fair which will be the subject
OF an official Investigation by the pro-
per authorities. 1t is stated that the
man who ordered the meat sent to the
refrigerator knew it was spoiled, but
believed a freezing would cover its
defects" ?"

THE MILITARY.
Future of First Regiment Under
Annexation.

With respect to the military, Colonel
Fisher stated last night that officers
and men who cared to enlist in the
volunteer service of the territory Of
Hawaii would be sworn in after the
flag raising next Friday. All present
enlistments expire when the Hawaiian
flag comes down. After the ceremOn-
les the regiment will march back to
the parade grounds where re-enIist-
ments will be received at once.
The process will be as follows: Col

Cooper. The Colonel will then swear
in the staff, field and line officers of
the Regiment The line officers will
Immediately thereafter swear in the
men of their respective commands.
The status of the regulars for a few
days will remain the same. That is
to say, they will likely remain on duty
until the New Workers arrive. 1t is
that such as so desire will
be given an opportunity to re-enlist
in the garrison.

FIRST SETTLEMENT GONE
Pioneer Trading Station OF Illinois
Has Been Deserted.


Has Been Deserted.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The final passing of the first settlement
of white people in the state of Illinois, and,
in fact, the first settlement of whites in the
large territory of the United States known
as the great middle west. was marked by
the removal of the post Office during the
past week from the original site of the old
town of Kaskaskia The removal of the
post office closed the last chapter in the
history of the original settlement in the
state.
1t was in 1163 that the Kaskaskia river
end the territory now comprising southern
Illinois was explored by La Sale, and
shortly thereafter the French traders es-
tablished the first settlement The site Sc
lected for il was on the west bank of the
newly discovered river, seventy-fve miles
above its end in the great father of waters.
the Mississippi river. The first settlement
and the river itself were both given the
name Of Kaskaskia. and on that site,
marked now only by the Oldest OF grave
yards and a few crumbling-down buildings.
was in the early days of the nation the
commercial center of the state or territory.
For many years il was the only trading
point between the pale-faced Europeans
and the red-faced men of the great Ameri-
can forest. In time Cahokia became an
other trading point, and from the date OF
the founding of the, Cahokia settlement by
the French traders nearly opposite the
present metropolis of Missouri, ST. Louis,
the Importance of Kaskaskia grew steadily
less. But the pioneer town bore the hardi-
hood and tenacity of its early citizens. and
its passing was long drawn out and covered
a period of two hundred and twenty-five
years. During its existence as a trading
station and village the history of the new
world has been made. In the government
order for the removal of the Kaskasksa
post Office is written the cpit apn of the FIRST

After a Chinese Wedding.


From the Boston Post.
On the day following a Chinese wedding,
at least in certain provinces, the bride $
youngest brother goes to inquire after her
and to take a present from her mother of a
bottle cf hair oil. This is custom so an
cient that none knows the origin thereof
No further communications take place be-
tween the bride and her family for three
months. when her mother sends a sedan
chair and an invitation to visit her. If
there has been neither a birth nor a death
in her husbands or in her mothers house
for 100 days she goes and makes a short
stay at her old home. This visit over, she
cannot see her mother again until after her
FIRST child is born, and not then should the
child be a girl. Even then IL there has
been death in either family the visit can
not be made. and there have been many
instances where a mother ard daughter
living very near each other have not met
for years.
