TENEMENT HOUSE NEED.

The crowding of Asiatic boarding
houses, construction of new shacks
and raising of rents on such houses as
poor working people are forced to oc-
cupies causes the average citizen Of
Honolulu to question whether, even at
this stage, the lessons of the plague
visitation have been fully learned.
Public spirit has given way to a grasp
for the almighty dollar. Human ma
ture is the same in Hawaii as in New
York city where proper tenement
houses were not erected until owners
of property we're forced to recognize
the rights of poor people by the city
authorities.
If Honolulu can solve its shack"
problem in the same manner that New
York city has approached the tenement
house question, not only will the COM
forts of the poorer classes be properly
provided but safety from epidemics that
rule in the Orient will be assured. The
public spirit of monied men and pro-
perty holders can find no better ex-
preston at the present time than in
the construction of tenement houses
of modern type, that shall not only
be sanitary in surroundings but pos
sessing conveniences now entirely for
eign to the usual home now within the
means of the poorer classes.
The tendency among too many pro-
perty holders at the present time is
to lease to Asiatics. Provided the rent
money comes in regularly little atten-
ton Is given to the character OF houses
put up or to the number Of people &C.
cupying the premises. The Asiatic
leaseholder who thinks only Of the
money there is in 1t, crowds his houses
to their full capacity. The people are
forced to take what they can get.
If the wealthy people of this city
will take personal interest in the
tenement house question, instead of al
lowing the Asiatics to go their own
gait, their incomes will not be decreas-
ed. The compensation for the worry
and trouble which this personal atten-
ton may involve can be put down to
philanthropy of which this city, as
regards the homes of working classes,
is sadly in need.

Surgeon General Sternberg empha-
sizes the value of sun and sanitation in
staying the progress of the bubonic
plague. A question property holders
are likely to agitate before many weeks
Is whether, In view of the superabun-
dance of sunshine with which Honolulu
has been blessed, it is necessary to al
low the burned districts to lie fall
low as long as required in the Orient.
1t certainly will be difficult for the
Board Of Health to hold the property
holders in check after the quarantine
is once raised. All of which points to
the immediate necessity of appoint
ing a new Chinatown commission to
deal with the subject of new streets
and blocks.

The view Of conditions in the courts
taken by our correspondent Lawyer"
is that Of active factor in legal cir
cles whose opinions are not warped by
personal or political influences. 1t is
useless to make light Of the fact that
our courts are in chaotic condition
that calls for prompt action. Legal
business is piling up at a rapid rate
and both the Circuit and Supreme
Courts are seriously crippled.

The New Year BeeetS
New THINGS

FOR THE BOYS. Have you ever stop.
ped to think what a difference there Is In
the makes of boys clothing? Many suits
are bought because the price Is low. It Is
often the price that governs the purchaser,
and not the quality or the substantial
makes. This theory seems to be based on
the Idea that any kind of suit Is good
enough for boy, as he will soon wear II
out. That Is not good economy, for If you
would pay a little more, and consider quail.
lty and make, you would have a suit for
the boy that would always look we'll and
outwear two suits of the inferior grades.
To buy the best Is money In pocket; to
buy the poorest Is moaey wasted. We
make a speciality to keep the best at popu-
lar prices.

Flour Trust CoIlapse,

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 26.-The Unit
ed States Milling Company, generally
known as the flour trust, collapsed yes
terday afternoon, but the fact did not
become known until touay, when
Judge Jenkins, in proceedings ancil-
larry to the United States Court of New
Jersey appointed three receivers for
the company, two Of whom are now In
charge of the property. The receivers
are: Daniel Thomas of New York,
Charles Il. Kimball of Summit, N. j.,
and Albert G. Loring Of Minneapolis.
The collapse Of the company was due,
1t Is said, to inability to float its Sc
curities on the open market.

1T Is SAID kEK

That Ihos. A. Edison used to walk up
and down every night In front of the first
house he lighted with electricity untll.the
lights were extinguished, for fear that the
house would burn down; and we are sure
that any Insurance man present, If ibis
house were wired and lighted In the same
way as that first building would be a
good deal more scared than was Edison.
In the short space of time that has passed
since then so many Improvements. have
been introduced that now house lighted
by electricity is better fire risk than with
any other artificial light.

Curious anicI IN Manila.

All Of the letters from Manila, when
the American soldiers We're fighting
around that city, refer to the panicS
which seized the inhabitants of the
city at frequent intervals. One Of
these stampedeS is thus described by
Captain Elliott Of the Coffeeville COM
qany in the Goth Kansas: About 2:30
O'Clock the natives and Chinese We're
observed to be running In every d.
rection. Presently the soldiers began
to come from every avenue in the di-
rection of the barracks. They moved
quickly, but with remarkable GOODNESS
and steady demeanor. Corporal Bah
er. whom l had sent on an errand near
the barracks of the First Battalion,
came to my room. saluted like the
good soldier that he is, and said:
"Captain. there is something wrong
going on in the city: the natives are
fairly flying in all directions, the Chin
ese are running like rats to their holes
and the stores are being closed"
Like reports came In from every d.
rection from men who had been In
all parts of the city. The call to quar-
tiers was sounded. the rolls were call
ed, and every man of my company not
on duty answered, Here" The same
was true Of the other companies Of
our battalion. Two or three officers
were caught away from home and did
not get In on good time.
On the Escoltn, at the Bridge Of
Spain, and in the walled city Of the
scene that followed was beyond my
power of description. No one seemed
to he aware of the cause Of the stam-
pede. l never witnessed anything like
it in my life. The wave of excitement
swept over the. entire city after the
manner Of a cyclone. The street cars
were jammed together In groups; car
rabos' piled up against one another
and barricaded the narrow streets,
quilcz and .interlocked, overturned and
their occupants thrown out; doors and
shutters are closed and barred; men.
women and children ran hither and
thither and crowded and jostled one
another In their frantic effort to escape
some dreadful. direful impending cal
AMY.
The soldiers alone behaved with ad-
mirable GOODNESS. Guards were doubled
space of time platoons of infantry were
great bridge and no one but soldiers
afoot were allowed to pass. Armed
men took possession Of the Escolta
and the avenues leading thereto, and
used their persuasive powers" to calm
the storm and bring order out Of chaos.
American courage and display Of
American sense and judgment pre-
vailed. In less than an hour the
"whirlwind" had passed and trade and
traffic were resumed. The question
with the soldiers was. what In the

EDIBLE CRABS.


them have never tasted it, and they
show it, for they are understood and
anaemic looking. Their ignorance is
sometimes surprising. One day
heard the town physician ask man
his name.
Il don't know" was the reply
What is your mothers name?'
At that the mans face frightened
and he said: Just wait until go up
the street. l see man that knows
her name, but l don't" Taat is one
instance. and many more Of similar
nature could be cited.
During the coffee picking Season the
poems or laborers work, resolving 80
centavos, or about 30 cents, u day. At
the end of the season instead of look
ing for other work, they gamble and
enjoy life until their mone.s is gone;
then they begin to steal. This is the
way they bury their dead-a rude box.
shaped like a coffin, is made by
carpenter, or, if the friends have not
enough money for this, they rent the
box for the occasion. 1t has no cover,
but over the body is throws a sheet.
Many of these boxes are not even
painted. This coffin is carried some.
times on the shoulders of four men,
ofIener two long sticks are fastened to
the sides and in this way 1t is borne
by only two. Other men relieve the
bearers when they are tired, for usual
ly these funerals come many miles.
The body is first taken to the church,
and then to the cemetery, where, IL the
coffin is not a rented one, 1t Is buried.
hut IL the coffin Is hired, the body is
taken out and thrown, not any too
gently either, into the grave.

CUBAN RAILWAY LUNCH
Natives Usually Garry Eat ablss hut Visitors
Would Not DO Well By Initiating.


Natives Usually Garry Eat ablss Hut Visitors
Would Not DO Well By Initiating.
The railway lines which do not have
regular eating houses along the route
have buffet lunch on the train. 1t ts
commonly located in the car given over
to the third-class passengers. A hun
cry passenger who finds his way there
can have his choice of poor wines, good
bread and cold baked fish. There Is
also a case of ''graciosos" or pop, with
sometimes little fruit. Beer Is sold.
Cubans who have occasion to travel
generally carry their lunches with
them. The practice Is not q good one
for American visitors to initiate. Three
Americans who were going on a days
for theIu. 1t consisted of skinny
chicken two loaves of bread and two
bottles of cheap wine. When they
came to settle their hotel bill they
found a charge of $13 for railroad
lunch. Others have, had similar ex-
perlences. 1t is better and cheaper to
go hungry than to have Havana ho-
tel prepare II railroad lunch.
Most. of the railroads now run what
are called "trens de cargo" or mixed
local freights. Sometimes the passen-
ger coaches are the chief part of the
train. and sometimes they are merely
the cabOose. These local freights give
the traveller an excellent chance to see
the country. \ good walker can keep
up with them when they are going at
ordinary speed. With the stops for
switching, it Is possible to take an oc-
casiOnal excursion into the fields and
back again. The engines are always
very thirsty, for every other stop ap.
pears to be at n water tank. At the
stations the start Is announced by the
primitive method of hand bell. A
porter walks up and down the platform
and rings the bell two minutes in ad-
vance. Five or six minutes later the
train pulls out. 1t is the literal truth
that no train In Cuba is supposed to
start on schedule time. The line out
Of Havana which has most Of the sub
urban travel has time scedule on the
exact hours. No Cuban or Spaniard
thinks of getting to the station on the
hour. He allows himself five minutes,
with the certainty that he will have
two or three minutes to spare. The
manager Of this road was once asked
what would happen If he were to start
the trains for three or four days In sue
cession on the advertised time. mo
passengers was his laconic response.
One morning at Matanzas l had left
word with the hotel keeper to have a
cab to take me to the train which was
due from Havana at $50. The cab was
ready at 9:15. Just then n party Of
friends arrived direct from the train,
with reproaches for the failure to meet
them. 1t was all the landlords fault.
He smilingly explained that, while the
schedule time of the train was 8
O'clock. it never arrived until $50.
How it happened to get in on time that
morning he did not know, but he was
sure the mistake was not Intentional.
