On the principle that a new sucker

fects itswas undoubtedly far better
proposition than a good many that
have been floated.
But I was mistaken. TIE dear peo-

no stock will be issued, as the Newa
yesterday exclusively reported.
The result Is, On the whole a most
hopeful indication that the American
public Is not so easy TO tempt into
blind pool as il has been on occasion In
the past.
The fact that the promoters of this
singular bargain-counter-p -philanthrop-
ic-stock-company enterprise declined
to make any statement of their bust
ness, or to publish a balance sheet. on
tn, feeble excuse that they didn't want
their competitors to get on TO their
business, probably proved the fatal
thing.
Folks are not buying Stocks. "un-
ght-unseen" so much as they have
been.
What a nerve II was. anyway, to ask
people to buy -omething the value of
which was TO - kept secret.
There are speculative eras when the
tender lambs might be expected to buy
stock In a s24,000,00O concern without
bothering to ask to see the tangible
assets that stands for the $24.OOO,OO0.
But this is not one of that kind OF
eras.
I'm the crazy South Sea bubble days,
stock was foated in company 'the
business Of which would be announced
later"
Once upon a time. too, Holland had
a speculative high old time buying and
selling tulip bulbs on margin.
One year ago this time You could
have foated almost anything In this
country from a soaring soap bubble
to sawdust trust.
But just now the American people
are SOLDERING off, financially and specu-
latively speaking.
whose stock enterprise is referred to
above explains its failure by the opin-
ion that the scheme "was about ten
years ahead of time" and the people
were not educated up TO il.
But IL strikes me that the true ex-
PLANTATION is that the scheme was about
one year behind time.
Everything was booming Just about
a year ago now.
Stocks and commodities were soar
| ing in price and the whole United
States was buying shares in, every old
| thing.
In the halcyon days. only twelve short
| months or so ago. the Amalgamated
copper trust, for instance. was foated
and the public was allowed to sub
scribe freely. The stock was subscrib-
ed TO Ave times over.
Today the four-fifths who couldn't
get the stock are gladder than the one
fifth that did.
In those halcyon days. too. a traction
company in the pious town OF Brooklyn
which was loaded with debt and had
never paid a dollar in dividends In the
whole course OF it's existence, was sold
freely TO the public and it's stock rose
nearly $40 share.
But you can buy carloads of IL to-
day around $50.

The scheme was heavily advertised
in this town and the papers got sew
eral hundred Of the many thousand
dollars that were spent in promoting
the scheme.
Against all this whoop-la advertis-
ing the News spoke one wee little word.
And IL is my experience that news
paper readers have a good deal more
faith in the unpaid-for observation of
a olsinterested newspaper like the
News than in all the circus poster ad-
vertis,ng that can be put up.
If any Providence people did send on
their subscriptions for the stock they
will get their money back. The Diff
fidence on the part of the dear people
resulted in so small a subscription that
no stock will be issued, as the News
yesterday exclusively reported.

Honolulu. II. T., December l. 1900.
DIR. j. ;. Il. Pratt, Executive officer Of
the Board of Health.
Dear Sir: / submit the following re-
port OF work done during the month
OF November. including in it that done
by you as City Sanitary officer:
Number of applications for building
permits received, AZ.
Number OF applications for building
permits approved, a.
Number of applications for building
permits refused 3.
Number of applications for building
permits held until the Survey Depart
ment can run the street lines and mark
grades. ;.
Number of applications for building
permits held until work of a sanitary
nature is done. l.
Examinations made of lots where
buildings were proposed, are in prog
ress of erection or after completion 81.
Examination of premises for sani-
tary reasons, 13S.
Violations of the Sanitary Regula-
tions remedied on verbal notification,
L.
Three iS-hour notices were served.
but there have been no prosecutions in
the Police Court. as in one case the no
tiCe was sufficient to secure the work
done and In the other cases work has
been begun. but delayed on account of
the heavy rains.
Thirteen complaints have been inves-
tigated, five of which We're found I'M
justified. Five nuisances have been
abated on verbal orders and in the
other cases work has begun.
-Four violations OF the building laws
have been reported to the Superin-
tendent Of Public Works.
The regular half-hour meeting with
the inspectors has been continued and
proved of value. / have found it nee
essary TO spend good deal of time in
going over various portions of their
districts with them to assist in getting
sanitary work done.
/ would recommend that the condi-
lions of the three blocks bounded by
King. River. Hotel and Kekaulike.
Hotel. River. Pauahi and Maunakea;
and Pauahi, River. Beretania and Maui
nakea, be brought to the attention of
the Board. and that some action be
taken similar to that taken by them at
their last regular meeting in regard to
the block bounded by Beretania, River
Kukui and Nuuanu.
/ The first one of these blocks men
toned Is considerably lower than the
bounding streets and cannot but be-
come insanitary when buildings are
put on II. a portion of II only is with
in the fire limits. The other two blocks
are both outside the present fire linn
its. and are in part lower than the
bounding streets. so that the condi-
tions Of old Chinatown is likely to bt
repeated II they are covered with
wooden buildings. If the Board would
require the filing Of all lots in thi:
locality to the street grade as a condi
tIon before approval Of application fol
building permits. except where fire
proof buildings with masonry cellar:
are proposed. one possibility of dangeI
TO the city from this locality would b.
Il removed.
