SEWER WORK STOPPED.
Garbage Fields at kakaakO Stop
the New Digging.

The sewer engineers stopped work
on the Kakaako line after the an
nouncement of the presence of bubonic
plague by the Board of Health, as they
were then engaged in cutting through
old garbage beds which yet retain a
powerful odor, oftentimes causing the
men to vomit.
This garbage" said one of the en-
gineers, 'has been deposited there as
a filling on the property and on the
street as well, and is in very filthy
condition. Such filling-in of property
has been condemned in all civilized
communities as very unsanitary and
undesirable. That is the condition of
affairs that has been going on there
for long time, and it should be dis
continued. Garbage should be burned.
My men growl all the time about the
filth they encounter in digging the sew
er line down there and so we decided
to stop work until conditions become
more favorable. A garbage crematory
is as necessary for the sanitary condi-
tion of the city as the sewer system
now being constructed"

MAJOR WOOD GOES.
Will Assume Charge of Jefferson
Barracks Hos pital

Major Wood, U.S.A., who has been
in charge of the Buena Vista Hospital
of the United States army for the past
year, will leave for the Coast on the
transport Centennial, which sails to-
morrow. Major Wood has been trans
ferred to the Department of the Platte
and will assume charge of the army
hospital at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. He
regrets very much that he has been
detailed away from Honolulu and ex-
presses hope that he may return here
within the next year. The Buena Vista
Hospital was created under Major
Woods supervision, and since the de-
parture of the First New York Regi-
ment, the hospital has become a splen-
didly conducted institution and sue
cessful in it's care for the soldier sick.
Major Wood established the first
field hospital in Cuba during the San
tiago campaign, and just previous to
his assignment to Honolulu was con-
nected with the Twenty-fourth l.. S.
Infantry.

GEESE AS GOLD MINERS.

According to George F. Smithers, the
United States consul at Chung King,
China, in the department called Yung-
pei, Chih-h Ting, gold is found in
abundance by washing in the valley
near the city. The inhabitants Of the
neighborhood keep large f1ocks of geese
to work the gold fields for them. When
the geese are found to be very heavy
they are killed and their maws emp
tied Of the gold contained therein. A
flock of geese is sometimes worth a
good deal of money; but geese dressed
ready for eating are very cheap, indeed

realism of the chariot race ELECTED the

Before Reaching Honolulu


Before Reaching Honolulu.
SACRAMENTO, Dec. g. = Arthur
Burns, who was butcher on the trans
port Manauense, has returned from
Honolulu, where he left the vessel on
account of sickness. Burns tells a
startling tale of the voyage of the
transport between this port and Homo
lulu. He says that ten men deserted
the vessel at Honolulu, and but two
of the vacancies could be filled before
the departure of the vessel from Ho-
nolulu. According to Burns, the trans
port leaked three days after leaving
port and the condensers broke down
The refrigerating plant collapsed be-
fore the vessel reached Honolulu.
Burns states that the ships carpenter,
who was called into consultation re-
garding the condition Of the vessel,
was one of those who deserted at Ho-
nolulu He states that the hold was
so full of water that the floors of the
lower stateroOms were awash, and
that he was compelled to seek a berth
in the soldiers quarters.

MRS. GRIDLEY'S INCOME.
L. z. Gridley, brother of Captain
Gridley. is a clerk in the treasurer's s
office in the United States treasury.
He was asked today by Star reporter
about the stories as to the almost des-
titute condition of Mrs. Gridley, the
widow of Capt Gridley. He stated
THAI while the reports which had first
been sent out from Erie, Pa, had eX-
aggerated the condition of affairs, he
thought that Congress could make
Mrs. Gridleys condition decidedly bet
ter.
''She has home of her own and
owns two or three small houses. Her
total income each month is consider
ably more than the $50 month she
receives as a pension. During the life
time of her husband the family had
everything it desired, but now that he
is dead they, of course, have to de-
prive themselves of much which they
had enjoyed before"

what he told the boy, and this morning
the two met at the Executive Mansion.
The Presidents door was at once
opened and the boy was presented to
the chief executive by the hero of Ma

Admiral Dewey started to explain
the situation, when the President
spoke up and said: You and /, ad-
miral, will pay his expenses in prepar-
ing for an examination in the marine
corps. If he fails in the first examin-
alton I will give him another chance,
but I am sure he will be ready for .eX
animation when he is appointed"
The scene was a pretty one. On
leaving the room with young Gridley
the admiral was heard to tell the boy
to come to him for what he needed and
that all of his expenses would be cared
for.

DEWEY AND MCKINLEY.
They Jointly Agree ito Educate a Navy
Captains Son.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. p. V.
Gridley, son of Captain Charles V.
Gridley of Manila battle fame, was to-
day designated for appointment as a
lieutenant in the marine corps by
President Mckinley.
Young Gridley is too old to enter
Annapolis as a cadet, and the only
opening for him was an appointment
as a lieutenant in the marine corps,
but there was a drawback even to this.
Young Gridley lacked the qualifica-
tions for such an appointment and,
worse than all. lacked money to fit
himself by study for such place.
The boy, a bright young fellow with
an honest, open face, was too modest
to tell any one of his situation, but
Admiral Dewey, who loved the boys
father, suspected it and decided to
act. He determined to pay the boys
expenses while studying for the lieu
tenancy.
