An Advertiser Reporter Assists in
Plague Autopsies.
Directly after the meeting of the
Board of Health an Advertiser report
er went to the business place OF Wa
10y. AIS Nuuanu street, between Bere-
tania and Pauahi streets. where the
suspicious death of a Chinaman had
been reported to President Cooper by
Inspector La Pierre. The entrance to
the store was barred up and Health
Inspector stood on guard to prevent
egress or ingress from the building.
THE FIRST VICTIM.
The reporter met Doctor Emerson at
the door and accompanied him through
the narrow, filthy passageways, and
up the back stairs to a small, hot, i'll
lighted room, where the dead China
man had been stretched upon raised
mattress. Doctor Emerson had been
detailed by President Cooper to exam
inc the two cases In this unsavory
neighborhood and brought with him n
basket containing his surgical instru
ments. disinfectants, basins and bot
ties in which TO place such specimens

At the head OF the stairs n group
OF Chinese stood awaiting permission
to bury their dead. From them It was
learned that the mans name was Yuk
Hoy; that he was 40 years old, and
had died Monday night at 1880. He
had been attended for some time by
DR.. San Tong Kai.

and the disinfectants prepared; coats
were taken on and sleeves rolled up,

STATEMENT or CASE.


PresIden: Dole stated that the meet
ing was called 10 consider the breaking
out of the bubonic plague here yester-
day morning. The matter had been
carefully considered and II had been
decided that the exigeDcies of the Oc-
casiOn demanded that the Council of
Safe be asked for fund 70 be used In
| fighting the disease. Il had been de-
cidel that at least $4,000 would be
required to start with and he thought
| this amount would probably have to
be supplemented. Attorney General
Cooper would place the matter before
the Council.
Attorney General Cooper, as presi-
dent OF the Board of Health. said the
first intira;ion OF the dread disease
was received yesterday morning when
DR.. Herbert was called to attend the
bookkeeper of Wing Wo Tai 4 Co. He
| then made a brief statement of devel-
opments during the morning since the
| first discovery Of the disease and said
as here was no history of the cases
discovered thus far the disease could
not be traced. Yesterday afternoon
a house to house inspection was made
and there were now 100 men of the
National Guard and employees OF the
Boari OF Health on duy. Today work
would be begun on cleaning the city.
He suggested that $4,000 be apDropri-
ated to begin the work and said that
the authorities would take very strin-
gent and severe measures to STAMP out
the plague as soon "a possible. There
were three more cases In the afternoon.
The Board of Health had already pro-
vided attending physicians and every
suspicious case would receive imnedi-
ate medical attention. The needs of
the occasion would necessarily maze
the expenses of fighting the diseas'
properly very large.
! WORK ON CREMATORY.
Councillor p. C. Jones asked If there
was any evidence to sustain the rumor
that the three men from the steamer
Claudine had died OF the plague.
Attorney General Cooper replied that
, an autopsy had been held In the case
! OF the Claudine sailors and there wa.
, no evidence that the men had died OF
? plague. Continuing the Attorney Gen.
; eral sad that he had early in the morn
> ing called for plans for a cremator,

FRIENDS OF LAST WEEK.

If vaudeville has any future-and there
are people who maintain that it has-this
final triumph will lay in just such acts as
Lillian Burkhart produced last week at the
Grand. The abolition of the settler bottle
and the siap-stick in refined" houses has
not been u change radical enough to COM
mand the respect or invite the attendance
of a better class of amusement lovers. To
a gentleman or a lady OF good breeding
and education the presence of those ancient
implements of the variety business was TO
worse an iniiictiOn than the revolving ac-
robatic feats, the uncOuth humor, the
homicidal use of the English language
and the ambiguous sentences that are still

refrain was familiar to every lover of
catchy music in the country.
While the new rag-time opera in which

tional can hardly be said to have been
dramatized from this ballad, the idea used
in the theme was so suggested, and the
author has appropriated the memorable til
tie TO identify his work. This playwright
is said TO have done some extraordinarily
clever things with his plot, which he claims
TO have furnished with several of the
brightest witticisms and the most compli-
Gated situations ever set into a modern
farce. No effort has been made to approach
legitimacy in the effort, which is advertis-
ed merely for what 1t is-a laughing di-
version.
Since continual merriment is likely to
grow wearisome. the managers of the pre-

as full-fedged stellar attraction, and for
SIX years thereafter it proved itself worthy
OF the favors bestowed by discriminating
audiences in all parts of the country. The
entertainer, realizing that the public de-
mand requires an actor to present some
thing new occasionally. has secured a
genuine novelty for this season in the form
OF farce, which has been styled Looking
for Trouble" The title furnishes a pret
ty fair idea Of what the play is intended
TO be, and from reliable sources one learns
that it is exactly the kind of a mixture of
harmless fun and musical pastime to de-
light theatre patrons. who are invariably
the best judges of what is most needed In
order to dispel that gloomy feeling
