The island steamer Kilohana was
wrecked early on Sunday morning at
Lahaina, She ran on to the reef be-
tween Lahaina and Kaanapali and is
total loss. No lives were lost. The
weather was not rough and it is sup
posed that the accident was due to an
error of calculation. The statement of
captain Nicholson of the Kilohana, as
brought by captain Simerson of the
Mauna Loa throws the blame on the
first mate.
The Kilohana left here last Saturday
for short trip to Lahaina and Kama
pait She had two passengers on board
and full load of freight. She arrived
of Lahaina at about midnight and
made for the harbor, going on the reef
at point where the coast is quite well
known. There was the usual ocean
swell on at the time, but not enough
to endanger the vessel under ordinary
circumstances.
The Kilohana was in charge of cap-
tain Nicholson, formerly mate of the
Mauna Loa, who was on his second
trip as captain this time. To captain
Simerson captain Nicholson gave an
account of the disaster whcih makes
the mate responsible. IT was on deck
Just before the accident" he is report
ed as saying, "and before going below
gave the mate instructions as to how
to keep the vessel going. 1 told him to
keep her ahead as she was Ten
minutes after | got below I felt the
shock of going ashore. 1 rushed on
deck and found the mate asleep. 1t
was too late to do anything to save the
vessel.
Chief Engineer Tillander of the Kilo-
mana came to this city this morning on
| the Mauna Loa. He reports that the
wrecked vessel is very rapidly being
pounded to pieces on the rocks and
| that there is no chance of saving her.
Il was asleep below when the accident
happened" said Mr.. Tillander. "I un-
derstand that the captain and mate
were on deck. After the vessel went
on the rocks we worked hard to get
her on, staying at it from Saturday
| midnight till o'clock this morning.
! Ihen we had to give it up. The crew
We're sent ashore last night. The cap
| tain and mate and l stayed on the ves-
sci, but we were thrown clear across
the deck by an ocean swell and had
| to give it up"
AT the offices of the Inter-Isla
steamship Company which owned the
vessel, the disaster was attributed to
miscalculation on the part of the
| captain and to a mistake in placing
| lights.
The Kilohana had been in commits
sion about year. She was built at
| Port Blakeley, Washington and is val
| ued by the company at over $50, 900.
| This sum will not cover the loss caus-
| ed by destruction of the vessel at this
| time, 1t is stated. The lost seamer was
of 247 ons net register and had proved
herself a first class boat for Inter-Isl-
| and service. Her cargo was 100 tons
| of coal, 100 barrels of cement and y
number of packages of sundries. All
that was saved from the wreck was
some machinery belonging to the ves-
SAL which the crew managed to get
ashore before she went to pieces.

From it's inception this shop has en-
joyed the patronage of the elite of the
city and Islands.
The present sole proprietor has been
unceasing in his efforts to enlarge his
already growing trade. When some
year ago the sixth chair was introduce
ed predictions were made that sixth
chair could not live and prosper in Ho-
nolulu. The shop today speaks for it
self. Since this time the patronage has
steadily increased, and in order to hold
his own and keep abreast of the times,
he has been forced to put in a seventh
chair His corps of helpers are most
expert artists and none better are to
be found in the city or the United
States.
One feature which has been found to
meet with general commendation is the
fact that all instruments are antisept-
ic. Their method of handling a patron
while in the chair is not to be found in
all shops and no amount of labor is
spared to insure satisfaction.

stray scraps of paper from a patients
house and even the damp air round
about 1t, are constantly carrying out
the germs. For instance, in the present
outbreak at Kobe, the first victim was
an employee of dealer in grain, and
the second and third were handlers of
imported cotton. From these circum-
stances, 1t may be presumed that the
disease germ came to Kobe concealed
in those articles recently imported from
Newchwang, China.
RATS A MEDIUM.
Besides the above, there is another
object which everywhere makes itself a
powerful medium for the propaga ton of
the disease, namely the rat; and it is
almost always the case that, in a pest
stricken house two or three dead rats
victims of the plague, are to be found.
The pest is infectious not only in the
case of human beings, but most espe-
cially so with rats. For example, if
a piece of flesh from the thigh of
pest victim be applied to the tip of
a rats tail, the animal will almost i'm
mediately drop dead, so violent being
the power of attack which the baclIli
possess in the case of the rodent. On
the occasion of the outbreak of the dis
ease in Hongkong some years ago, and
before the general public had come 70
realize its dreadful character, carcasses
VI uedu rats were TO De FOUND IN large
numbers on the streets and roadside OF
the place. On examination, these dead
rats were discovered to be literally fill
ed with the plague bacill; and steps
were at once taken to enforce preven-
tive measures against rats in general.
But being extremely sly animals, it was
practically impossible to devise any ef-
fective means for putting them under
control, and the propagation of the dis
ease from this source became utterly
irrepressible. Furthermore, being car
nivorous in their habits, rats eat up
their dead comrades-the victims of the
plague-thus spreading the infection
throughout all ratdom. The conse-
quence was that anything and every
thing bitten by rats or soiled by their
excretions became the means of con-
veying the disease to the human body.
The only efficient method of disinfec-
ton will thus be, as it was then, 10
burn down the plague stricken house
with all it's contents.
Again, however infintesimally small
the wounds or cuts on the hand and
feet be, when attacked they will at once
become the avenue of entrance into our
body for the germs, and in consequence,
the propagation is generally very rapid
among the lower classes of the Chinese,
Indians and Japanese who are wont 10
go about barefooted.

STILL MORE PROGRESS.
An Enterprise Which Keeps Abreast
of the Times.

Although but a comparatively short
period has elapsed since Joseph Fer
nandez assumed entire control of the
Silent Barber Shop, located on Hotel
Street, none can say but that the grand
strides made in the past, to have an
up-to-date, comfortable, home-like
tonsorial parlor, Is, in large measure,
due to his individual efforts.
Mr.. Fernandez was first employed
In the Islands as a tonsorial artist at
d. w. Roach's. After four months
employment at this shop he retired,
and, with a partner, opened up the
Criterion Barber Shop. They ref1tted
up this shop with fixtures and other
appliances, which at that time were
considered very swell. Success seemed
to meet them on all sides, and after
running this shop for a year they sold
out to move to larger and handsomer
quarters.
AS a result the Silent Barber Shop
was thrown open for public patronage
in 1897, with five of the most modeT n
of high grade chairs. The wood and
grill work was made specially for them
Congratulations were received on all
hands, not only for their prosperity
but for their enterprising undertaging

PLgGUE
.SCOURGE OF THE Orient
TWO UNDoUBTED CASES ARE
DISCOVERED.
Board of Health Meets in Special Ses-
sion-Island Steamers Prohibited
From Leaving-Clean the City.

Black plague has appeared in Homo
lulu.
DR.. Day and other physicians who
have handled the cases now in hand
declare that there is no doubt of the
existence of the dread scourge.
There have been two deaths that the
physicians are certain about. The first
was Chinese bookkeeper for a grocer
on Maunakea near Hotel street. He
died last night and the body was burn
ed after an autopsy this morning.
The second case was in the Wing Wo
Tai store on Nuuanu near King. This
man was also bOokkeeper. A doctor
was called last night and he died this
morning.
In the four hours from to 1 o'clock
today four sudden deaths have been
reported to the Board of Health. All
are suspicious and most probably at
least two will turn out to be plague.
The first was in Ahi's furniture store
near the corner Of Nuuanu and Pauahi
streets. This discovery was made by
DR.. Herbert. An hour later L. L. La
pierre who was making a house to
house canvas telephoned another case
| in the house next door to Ahi's. Both
places have been quarantined.
Another case is on Queen street. 1t is
said that this is peritonitis. Shortly
| after noon DR.. Garvin reported the sud
den death of native in the row of
| houses near the corner of Queen and
| Richard streets. He was summoned
| but the fellow was dead when he ar
rived. This may not be plague,
When the first announcement OF
| plague was made this morning extra
ordinary precautions were taken
Mounted police have been set to guard
! the infected district. A Board of
Health meeting was called for IL O'CLOCK
\ noon.
The Board of Health Immediately
closed up both places where deaths had
occurred and a meeting to take action
was called for noon today.

PLAGUE PROPAGATION.

DR.. Kitazato, described as one of the
greatest authorities on infectious di-
seases in Japan, has recently written
an article upon the bubonic plague.
Following are the important points of
the article: Roughly classified, there
are two kinds of the pest bacilli, name
ly: !, Those that enter the human
body through cuts and wounds at limb
eXtremities, and by travelling up the
Emphatic veins, colonize with dread
full results at the arm-pits and in the
region of the groin; and 2, Those that
gain admittance by the respiratory
organs and which attack the lungs and
the surrounding parts. The bacilli of
the latter species, like those of tuber-
colosi5, find their way out in breathing
and splitting and are the most danger
Gus on account of their greater conta-
gious power.
The infection is not necessarily con-
fined to cases where the victim comes
in contact with a pest patient, for the
baciili may easily travel from place to
place, lodge In piece OF rag, breath
OF air. and so on. and thence find their
way into the human body. The same
thing may be said of other contagious
diseases, but none is 30 virulent in It's
power OF attack as the pest baeilli, and
