MEDICAL SOCIETY
Interesting Meeting Last
Saturday.
Papers Read BY Dr.. S. Day ana wood Of
the Bubonie Plague -Beri-
berl Next.

The Medical Association met at the
Office of DR.. Meyer last Saturday even
ing. The subject for the evenings dis
cussion was the bubonic plague, a top
ic full Of interest at present on account
OF the plague which has been raging
In Hongkong.
DR.. c. B. Wood read the first paper,
He was admirably qualified to speak,
both on account of his thorough study
OF the subject and his personal obser-
walton Of its ravages. He went into
the history OF the disease and gave
statistics showing its enormous death
rate. He wildly described the great
plague Of 1894, during which time he
was In the Orient and had opportuni-
ty for observing the black death" in
all its forms.
DIR. Day followed with a discussion
OF the treatment Of the plague. The
most successful and what seems to be
the coming method was discovered by
German physician stationed in In
dia by the English Government. 1t
consists Of incubation Of serum into
the infected person, and is very SINH
lar to the vaccination in case of small
pOx. Remarkable results have been
obtained in this treatment which has
produced beneficial results when the
patients have been in the worst stages
OF the plague. The doctor gave an in
teresting description Of the cases which
came under his notice only few
months ago, when the first infected
steamer arrived.
A general discussion followed among
all present. The following were in at
tendance: DR.. c. b. Cooper, president:
DIR. Garvin, secretary; Drs. Day, Wood.
Bowman. Alvarez. Thompson, Ray
mond, Meyers, Rhodes, Cleveland.
Sloggett, Emerson, May. Wood, Hoff-
man: Miss Kerr and Mr.. Anterior,
medical students.
The subject for the next meeting will
be "Beri-beri." ... .ln.5 100.

WHEELER REPORTS ON HAWAII.

Says the People Seem Prosperous and.
Contented.
Adjutant General Corbin has receiv-
ed a personal letter at Washington
from General Joseph Wheeler, U. 8. ",
who is en- route to the Philippines on
the transport Tartar, giving some data
concerning his trip as far as Honolulu
and also concerning affairs In Hawaii.
General Wheeler says: The people
generally seem prosperous and con-
tented. l inquired Of very many peO-
pie about the feeling OF the royalists
and the general opinion expressed IL
that while they retain some feeling OF
regret AT the loss Of their sovereignty.
they also realized that the country IN

the situation"

entirely passed over to the hands Of

be wise to make one supreme effort to
secure one strong colony Of the kind
Of people which have built up great
States on the Mainland. No one is call
ed upon to make any sacrifice or en-
dure the tolls which have elsewhere
created Christian commonwealth. The
Treasury overflows. Then let us have
one colony which will answer our loud
prayers uttered 50 often from the house
tops, that Providence would give to us
only the opportunity to establish Amer
lean civilization here and we would

SEPTEMBER MEETING.
OF Hawaiian Mission Children's
SOciety Held Last Saturday.


The September meeting OF the Ha-
waiian Mission Children's Society was
held at the residence OF Mrs. e. C..
Damon and was largely attended. over
sixty members being present.
The principal business Of the meet
ing was the report of the committee
on the publishing of book containing
the lives and portraits OF all the mis-
sionary fathers and mothers.
Rev. o. II. Gulick and Miss NJ. A.
Chamberlain on behalf of the commit
tee spoke earnestly Of the work which
had been done and stated that by the
responses already received the success
Of the undertaking was assured.
After the business meeting Messrs. o.
II. Gulick and Frank Damon spoke in
formally as to their vacation rambles,
tin latter introducing to the members
present Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Russell

ance of their rights, through the fault
of the local government. But It was

local government? Was the matter

An Old Resident Dead.

]. H. Bruins, one Of the Oldest resi-
dents Of these islands, died early this
morning after short illness, at the
family residence. The deceased has
carried on a cooperage business on

In consequence of the discovery Of a
suspicious case Of illness on board. the
U. s. transport Grant was sent to the
quarantine station at Nagahama on
Sunday morning. She returned to
port on Monday noon. The medical
men agree in thinking that the case is
a mild smallpox attack.-Japan Ga

A SCHEME FOR SETTLERS.

The laws enacted by Congress for the
disposition Of public lands will be only
the beginning Of movements to plass
the best OF these lands in the hands of
spectators. 1t goes without saying,
that II any money can be made out of
these lands. the lobby in Washington
city will be able to get through Con-
gress from time to time, laws which
will be OF great value to the specula-
tors, but will be also a serious injury
to the public interests. The lobby will
be powerful, well organized and re-
sourceful in money. This comment is
justified by the success Of spectators
who have attempted to secure public
lands in the western part of the Main
land. Congress can repeal at any time
a Territorial law.
Before the laws governing this Ter
ritory are passed, the government
should make one serious attempt to
provide for white settlers on the Island
Of Oahu. The small colony Of whites
on the Waialua mesa Is said to be
doing we'll, but it is an Insignificant
matter in view Of the real needs Of the
situation.

doing well, but 1t Is an insignificant
matter in view Of the real needs of the
situation.
There is a tract of land on this ISL
and, known as Lualualei, Waianae,
which covers 14,772 acres of land. The
lease OF this land expires in August,
1901. The shore front extends five and
one-half miles. About 500 acres Of the
tract Is known to be good cane land.
The rest is valuable for grazing cat
tie. II artesian wells are sunk, and
the water from the mountain shed was
collected, many acres Of this large tract
would be available for cane planting,
fruit culture. market gardening, and.
generally, for homestead locations.
Several hundred families could occupy
It, and mare homes, as prosperous at
least, as the average farmers home of
the Mainland.
Its value, wheE provided with water,
would reach large sum. The cost of
putting down wells, so as to make it
available would be small at first, and
success in sinking them and securing
several hundred families for settlers,
would justify further outlay for water.
It is a political maxim in America,
that individuals and not the State
should develop the industrial re.
sources OF the country. But the con-
ditions existing here, have compelled
another public policy, and the Hawai-
ian government has assisted foreign
immigration to the extent OF nearly a
million OF dollars in order to aid the
plantations. This aid has been given
to Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese
immigration.
But the government, under the in
fuences Of public sentiment here, has
spent nothing for the encouraging OF
immigration. On this
point it has been, under the same in
fiuence. stubbornly indifferent, SO far
as aiding immigration is concerned.
The causes Of this public indifference
are apparent enough, and are still
actively at work in continuing Asiatic
Immigration. and now in promoting
Italian immigration which will be a
menace to social improvement owing
to its ignorance of American political
ideas.

What fuss the Chinese claims would
have made year and a half ago. The
Foreign Office would have been in fits,
Major Potter would have been spending
hours day looking up presidents, and
every body who wanted to worry and
embarass the Government would have
been writing letters on the Chinese
question, or inspiring articles upon the
danger of defying the dragon. Now, no
one worries about the matter in the
least. 1t is Federal affair, which has
come about through the orders issued to
a Federal officer stationed here. The
dragon may roar as much as he pleases,
but he has an eagle to deal with, not an
Hawaiian pullet.,

Japan has been one of the cheap
places of the earth, but the opening up
of Japan to foreign competition is send
ing prices up. A recent visitor in that
country says that laborers wages have
in many cases more than doubled,
though they are low enough as it is
Vegetables have advanced from 80 to 40
per cent, and houses and plots of
ground in the suburbs of Tokyo and
Yokohama are nearly double what they
were last year. Whether the Japanese
will be much happier and better off
with this rise is a question. If wages
rise and prices rise in equal ratio, there
will not be much advantage. After all
it is the purchasing power of the wage
that tells. If the purchasing power is
no greater, the advance in wages is of
very little moment.

will be no surprise then, if, after the
sewerage work has continued for some
time, that the number of fever cases in
crease. But if people in the vicinity of
the streets that have to be eXcavated,
take ordinary care, and at once take
preventives when there is the slight
est symptom of fever any serious i'll eff
fects may be effectually checked.
knowing the probable effect of the
turning up of the soil in the streets it
would have been we'll for the Board of
Health to have issued a warning on the
matter. There is no cause for any
alarm. but careful precaution is not
alarmst in any way and it is precau-
ton that The Star recommends.

A STITCH IN TIME.

The statment comes from Waikiki
that the hospital is very fun just
now" The cases are mostly laborers
from the plantations. The men are
nearly all suffering from fever, and the
cause is given as the turning up of
new land for the new agricultural de-
velopments.
1t is a curious fact that the breaking
up of new land is nearly always accom-
panied by fever epidemics, usually of a
mild form. Fever germs, due to long
decaying vegetation, are stirred up and
promptly as possible. The fact is well
known and is recognized in older coun-
tries, the, regular concomitant of
opening up new land, and is by no
means confined to the tropics.
Knowing the almost perfect certainty
of fever following upon work of this
kind, 1t would be a wise thing to strive
to counterfeit 1t, by, supplying quinine
or some other medicine to those who are
engaged in the work, On the lines of
the proverb that stitch in time saves
nine such a policy would be advanta-
geous to both laborer and employer.
But if fever comes from the turning
up of new soil, it is far more likely to
arise from the turning up of soil in
places Which have been long inhabited,
and which - ,impregnated with the filth
that has accumulated from years. 1t

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1899.

The power of an organizing mind Is
shown by the work Mr.. McStocker is
doing at Olaa. He is not practical
sugar planter, but he is eminently an
organizer, and it is this which is re-
uuired in pushing forward an enter
prise such as the gigantic one on the
Olaa lands. 1t is satisfactory to hear
Of the work of man in new linz,
whom Honolulu knew so well for 50
many years. The same qualities which
made Mr. McStocker so able a man at
the head of Government department.
are carrying him to success in the new
charge which he has undertaken.

There will be some interesting
correspondence and some learned
legal opinions before the squatter ques-
ton is settled. The attitude of the Cab
met in the matter, as set forth in Pres
ident Dole's interview yesterday is con-
sentative. From his point of view the
squatters are in the wrong, but then
there is the chance that they may be IN
the right, and the Cabinet does not act
Till the whole matter is laid before the
authorities in Washington. 1t is a mat
ter over which there can now be no con-
troversy. Either the squatters are in
the right or they are in the wrong. Ac-
cording to Hawaiian law they are in the
wrong. 1t remains to be seen whether
the United States Congress will decide
that they are in the right.

Quick and frequent passage to the
Island of Hawaii has been a disidera-
tum for months, if not for years back.
Communication has come down from
ten day trips to weekly trips, and now
there are to be six trips per month. The
establishment of a bi-weekly service
will follow some of these days, and
these trips will be direct to Hilo, leav-
ing out any wait at Maizena, and MANU-
kona. Half the WEAKNESS of inter-isl-
and travel has lain in the waiting at
way ports. 1t has always been a most
provincial method of progression, but
the light is beginning to dawn, and
quicker methods are called for. The in,
ter-island telegraph is the next thing
that we urgently need.

IMMENSE ALTERATION SALE!

Before L. B. Kerr left for Europe it was
decided that extensive alterations must at
once be made in the store Accordingly, it
is necessary that the goods must be sold to
make room for the workmen. To do this
he directed that an Immense Alteration Sale
be commenced at once. Anything and
everything will be sold at much lower fig
ures than the same goods could possibly be
purchased elsewhere. This will insure bar
gains in every line to all.

Croker and Bryan

(Frcm the Chicago Jourrzl)
Croker praises Bryan because be is afraid
to do anything else. He is as coldbloOded
as a fish and will DO almost anything for
his greed He does not love Bryan, but he
does love Croker And Croker Is in dan
ger.
The Bryan movement had more vitality
in it than a great many people suspected,
and when the Eastern Democracy. or part
of it. approached the task Of getting rid
of the Democratic banner-carrier of 1896
it found the task was large one. There
was detection in Tammany that impsriled
Croker's position as leader. and John C.
Sheehan promptly took advantage Of Gro
ker'G lukewarmness TO try and Oust him
from the leadership. No one knows better
than Croker whsn the ground grows treach-
erous under his feet. and no one is mora
adept at shifting his fOothold- The decIar-
alton is one word for Bryan and two for
the Tammany chief in danger Of losing his
grip.
II IS a pity this wretchsd pariah should
still be in position where his words have
weight in a great party. and where he can
bring unmeTited discredit on an honest
Presidential aspirant by seeming 70 es-
pouse his cause. Mr.. Bryan would ex-
cite the unreserved admiration of men who
never admired him before If he would re-
pudiate Croker with the scorn the latter
deserved and in plain language bid him
