wAsH1NGToN's BIRTHDAY.
Entertainment Given by Young PEG
pies Christian Endeavor.

The Washington birthday social
given last evening by the Young Peo-
pies Society of Christian Endeavor,
was a success from beginning to end,
and reflects great credit on those hay-
ing it in charge. The rooms were dec
GRATED with vines, flowers and palms
in profusion. The ladies and gentle
men, in the costumes of the olden
days, lent an antique charm to the
occasion and made the gathering seem
strange, but pleasant. George Wash
ington and Martha Washington were
the centers of attraction, he being
dressed in full lace velvet suit, with
long wig and queue; she, as was her
habit, wore neat plaid silk with little
/ trimming. Black patches were very
much in evidence on the faces of the
fair danes and on few of the men.
The program was we'll carried out
with a reading of a Revolutionary
tale, by Mrs. W. w. Hall; followed by
a selection, by Miss May Patty, on the
subject of Making an Editor Out oil
jim" Miss Florence Hall sang "a
Little Quaker Sinner" and a number OF
patriotic songs, after which twenty
minutes were given to social converse
ton by the card on various topics. Re
freshments were passed and the party
, broke up in the best of spirits.

Fought for Poison,

G. w. Smith reported at a recent
Board of Health meeting as having
seen four dead rats in his neighbor-
hood. The rats came to their death al
the hands of the official poison. An
other Board member said he had seen
nine, also dead, and death due TO the
same cause.
A grocer on Beretania street told
reporter that yesterday morning when
he opened his store he found two rats
under tie counter, both dead. Iney
died as the result of fighting each otn-
er, as the flesh of each rodent was
badly lacerated, and they were tangled
up together biting each others threats
in a death grip. The supposition IS
that they had fought for the block OF
official poison, which was only a Re"
inches away and untouched.

Nuuanu Street Opened.

Prof. ingalls, in order to prove the
power of sulphur fumes took the re-
porter to several stores On Hotel street
and Nuuanu street that had just open
ed and from which the sulphur fumes
had not yet gone.
Chinese and Japanese were busy all
day opening up shop, putting goods in
cases and cleaning out their stores.
Everything smelt of sulphur.
In Wing Wo Tails store on Nuuanu
street, where the first case of plague
| in December is supposed to have origin
| ated, everything was hustle and con-
| fusion. The iron shutters of the store
| had only been open an hour or two and
upstairs the fumes were sitting. Guam
titles of dead flies, cockroaches and so
forth, were found in the different
stores. eff we find single live cock
roach in a building after fumigation,
said Prof. Ingalls,, eve fumigate again.
Many of the stores on Nuuanu street
are not yet open as the owners have
still to comply with the regulations
and place their premises in a sanitary
condition
