"SILVER DOLLAR SMITH DEAD.
He Was Once a Prominent Politician
in New York.

NEW YORK, December r22.-Ex-Alderman
Charles ]. Smith, better known as SILVER
Dollar" Smith, died today at his home IN
this city. He was born in Vienna, Austria
March 80, 1851. While he was stil in in
fancy his parents came to this city, settling
on the east side. From that time until
after the civil war his career was of very
varied character. Young Smiths father,
who was cousin of the great prestidigita-
teur, Hermann, acted for many years as an
assistant to Hermann in his exhibitions,
and young Smith accompanied them in sew
elal tours Of the world In 1868 he ran
away from home to be drummer boy in
the army.
Early in the seventies Smith became as
scciated with John J. o Bnen, then a lead
ing republican politician in this city, and
in 1854 he was elected to the state legisla-
ture, in which he served during the years
1885 to 1889. He was elected an alderman
in 1880, in which he served until 1898. He
was the supreme political power In the
eighth assembly district for many years.
When Mr.. Smith established his saloon
on Essex street twelve years ago he earned
the soubriquet of Silver Dollar from the
fact that on the floor between the blocks
of marble were cemented 400 silver dollars,
and 2,4O0 more In the panels of the bar
and other fixtures, making total of $500.

of the privileges, and have SO stated in a
number of communications lately. Mr..
Jones said today:
There will be no more Indians permitted
to leave their reservations for wild west ex-

consent of the Indian bureau for their ex-
hibition save it be along the lines of solv-
ing the problem of Indian education The
day of the departments permitting Indians
to be let for wild west shows and such af-
fairs is past. 1t demoralizes the Indians.

DELAY ON PART OF GoEBELITEs.

FRANKFORT, KY, December 22-The
delay on the part of Goebel and Beckham
in serving notices of contest against Gov
Taylor and Lieut.. Gov. Marshall leaves
anti-Goebel elements in doubt as to the
purpose of the contestants. The time for

the Legislature expired yesterday, only four
witnesses having given testimony regard
ing the election in the contested counties.
The contest committee, however, have
power to send for persons and papers If de-
sired. The anti-Goebel leaders. will have an
informal conference at Louisville during
the holidays to decide whether they will
make fight to organize the two houses of
the legislature. They claim to have enough
votes to organize the senate, but a major
ity of the leaders seem to oppose the fusion
on organization, preferring not to show
their strength until the contests are voted
on.

Mr.. Moody was born in Mortified. Frank
lin county. Mass, February 5, 1887. He was
brought up on a farm until he was sixteen
years old, when he went to Boston and was
employed in a store for several years. He

While thus engaged, he spent his evenings
in missionary work among the poor and
destitute of that city. This work grew 70

president.
He soon became known as one of the
most acceptable public speakers Of the
country, and was in constant demand at
Christian conventions throughout the west
and south. During the war Of the rebellion
he Joined the work of the Christian COM
mission and spent much time looking after
the sick and wounded Of both armies.
AT the close of the war he returned TO
Chicago and resumed his work there. soon
having a large and flourishing Independent
church, which is row known as the Moody
Church, and is presided over by d regular

He never became a regularly ordained

After the fire of 1871 Mr. Moody made
arrangements for rebuilding his church.
and in June, 1873, went with Ira D. San1ey

COST OF PLAGUE.

The expenses incurred during the
plague scare were not eXorbitant The
work of Board of Health agents
amounted to 81, 1853 which is certainly
not very high. Add the military cost
to the regularly sanitation work and
the figures will be very much larger.
AS understood they will come pretty
near to $4,000
This little episode of plague has been
really far more costly. The mere mo-
ney cost that has been paid out does
not show the real loss. There has been
a serious blow reaching the commerce
of the Islands, and also the tourist
traffic. 1t will be some months before
confidence is restored. Once give a port
bad name and it will stick to it, 1t
will be some time before sailing ship
shippers will have perfect confidence in
the port, but they will get to know
and once more hail the place as the
Paradise of the Pacific.
Then, too, there has been a loss in
wages, and both the retail and the
wholesale trade stagnated for time
When all this comes to be added to-
gether the $4,000 will be found to be
but drop in the bucket of actual loss
inflicted upon the community.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-12-22

A large section of the population of
the Islands hardly realizes what a fine
set of merchant captains and mercan-
tile officers come to our port. The idea
strikes one when reading that Cap
tain L. H. Hubbard of the s. N. Castle
had decided to retire from active life.
The captain has made the voyage no
less than 10 times and has been en-
trusted with enormous responsibility
in the way of freight and passengers.
The merchant marine does not appeal
to the picturesque sense as the man-of-
war does, but it is the merchant ma
rine which makes the man-of-war pos
sible. Among the men of the merchant
marine are some of the finest fellows
in existence.

The question of commencing school
at eight o'clock and closing at one,
seems to have gone into allegiance or
rather no general rule has been adopt
ed, but teachers in the country are to
have the option Of beginning at the
earlier hour if the parents so desire. If
the Board has decided upon a policy
of running the schools, as to closing
and opening, according to the desire
of the population of each district, it
might go a step further and let the va
cations fall not uniformly, but to suit
the wants of the districts. For instance,
in Kona, the long vacation might fail
during the coffee picking season instead
of at the regular school vacation This
would really be a great convenience,
both to children teachers and coffee
growers alike. In point of fact during
the season many children absent them
selves from school and defy the truant
officer, while others get permits from
their teachers to be absent If the
Board consults convenience in one
thing, it might consult it in another.

OVERCROWDING.

a gentleman who gives much thought
to social and economic subjects, sug-
gests that we need law of general APP
plicatiOn relative to the air space to be
allowed for each bedroom. In Cali
fornia the air space allowed is 1000
cubic feet per person, which means a
space 10X10X10. He does not consider
that so much air space is needed here,
because this is a climate which allows
of sleeping with open windows. The
law would have to be general and not
applicable to only one class of houses.
Where the law is violated there should
be a fine of $25 per person sleeping in
a room in excess of the proper number.
Another idea is that when lands are
leased only a certain percentage of It
should be built upon, say sixty per
cent, and the remaining forty per cent
be reserved for air space, This could
be provided for in future leases. This
idea is emphasized when one looks at
the tenement being put up by a China
man at the corner of Nuuanu and the
extension of Kukui street. Every inch
of ground which the celestial has leased
from the Bishop Estate has been built
over and there will not be open air
