The Last Supper.
Good-fellowship, brand new jokes
plenty of beer, an excellent menu and
hearty appetites characterized the last
supper to be served at the Board O
Health cafe.
Thirteen faithful servants OF tn,
Board were at the sumptuOus feas
last evening served In the little frame
building on the Waikiki side OF thu
Judiciary building. The unluckines'
OF the number thirteen was done ava!
with by the presence OF an Advertiser
reporter, who swelled the list to four
teen.
A little sadness managed to find IL
way into the otherwise happy occa
sion. Sadness was because of the sup
per being the last that will be serye'
at the Plague Hotel. The Board o
Health has found Il necessary 70 Gu
expenses; therefore the Plague Hote
must go. This hardship deeply i'm
pressed itself upon the minds an
stomachs OF all present, and although
there was no weeping or wailing, Their
was certainly crashing OF teeth.
The following surrounded the grOan
ing board: G. b. Reynolds. Secretar
'h Wilcox, DR.. Davis. DIR. Peterson, Sar
J. johnson, Stenographer Davis, Office
A. A. A. Fox. Frank Mayfield. J. II. Ur
