the grounds and the dormitories.
Among the sights was a farm" of the
settlement Immediately i'm rear of the
home, in which the patients who are
able obtain exercise. Bananas, papaias,
bread fruit, pineapples, potatoes and
other things are grown in considerable
quantities.
Returning to Kalaupapa the party
had refreshments at the visitors house
and at o'clock went aboard the
steamer. At the landing almost the
whole settlement had congregated to
say goodbye. The band played until
the steamer sailed, the last strains to
come over the water being Star Span
gled Banner and Aloha Oe.
PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED.
For once there was not a mass meet
ing of residents to state grievances
to the board In explanation the lead
ers of the colony stated that they had
absolutely no kicks to make The per
sonal management of Mr.. Reynolds has
been most successful. All the loose
features of the system have been re-
medied and everything is now running
like clock machinery.
The women and girls at the Bishop
Home expressed themselves as perfect
ly contented. They have excellent ac-
commodations, sufficient exercise, mus
ic and almost everything else they
could acquire at home. Many of them
stated frankly that If such were poss
BILE they would not care to leave. At
the Baldwin Home the men work an
hour each morning in the garden. The
boys are busted on the grounds, weed
ing, picking up trash, etc. Baseball
and other games occupy the attention
part of the day; and then there are
concerts by the band and dozen other
things to make the hours pass pleas
antly. Baseball is just now at fever
heat and match games are played
every week with Kalaupapa. Men and
boys We're very frank in speaking of
their condition. Not one could be found
with a complaint. They all expressed
the greatest satisfaction with the man
agement in the past year
Another thing that impressed the Wis
itors was the confidence felt in the GotO
baths. Any number of patients declar-
ed they were being benefited. A pro-
minent man, who has been many years
afflicted, declares he is getting we'll.
The action of the board in granting the
remedies, even if no special confidence
be had in their curative properties i'm
pressed all as being excellent policy
