SUCCESS AT WILDWOOD.
1t Has Crowned the entertainments
of the Meters.

1t Has Crowned the Entertainments
of the Meters.
The growth in popularity Of Wildwood
as a summer resort for people of the
Twin Cities has been keeping pace with
the improvements that have been made
in this delightful spot by the Twin City
Rapid Transit company.
There are some really excellent attrac-l
tons at Wildwood just now, aside from
the regular stock amusements. Among
these must first be reckoned the Meier
family, one. OF the most extraordinary
aquatic attractions ever brought West.
The Oldest member of the family, aside
from Thomas @. Meier, the father, is
Miss Bessie Meier, who is only fourteen
years old, but who, at the same time, Is
the most wonderful aquatic performer in
the world today Master Tommy Meier
is quite as entertaining as his sister, and
the two little people perform good
many of the aquatic tricks together.
But the feature that takes the crowd,
as much as anything else, is that repre-
sented> by the two little tots, Elma and
Minnie Meier, respectively two and four
years old, who row races in diminutive
boats, give a double-sculling perform
ance and other entertaining specialttes.
The popular musical duo, Wolff and
Barrett, will remain at Wildwood all next
week, and they will furnish music for
the Wednesday and Saturday dances,
having made a distinct hit with the dane
ing crowd.

MINNESOTA STATE BAND.
1t Will Continue It's Concerts at
Como Park.


The popularity of Como park this
season has been so great that the man
agemcnt has reason to felicitate itself
on the installation of band concerts as a
regular feature Of the resort.
The necessity of providing good music
for Como park and other Twin CITY e.
sorts is not SO easily met as might be
supposed, for the country is full of So
called bands that claim ability to run the
gamut of band composition, but which
prove on critical analysis to be mere
transforming aggregations entitled to no
consideration whatever in a musical
sense The management of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company has en-
gagged its attractions this season on their
known merits rather than on their pros
pectus, and the result has been the en-
gagement for Como park of the Mime
sofa State band.
There will be two concerts at Como
park today. The afternoon bill will open
with a new march by Selling, to be fol-
lowed by the overture, Poet and Peas
ant, Zeller's popular waltz, Don't Be
Cross" and selections from Wang"
Herbert's march, The President" Oh
colts "a Romance of Athlone," and
other popular numbers are included.
The evening bill opers with Scanton' 9
Flying Dutchman3 march, and among
the other numbers are .Auber's Grown

ITALIAN COMPOSERS ACTIVE.
Rivalry Between Mascagni md
Puccini to Get Out New Works

Rivalry Between Mascagni and
Puccinf to Get Out New Works.
The younger generation of italian com
posers appears to be going through a.
period of qNite abnormal activity lust
now. Mascagnis new opera, "Vestilia,"
winch is to be simultaneously performed
at Rome. Venice, Naples and Milan in
October next, has, to all appearances, put
his adversary, Signor Puccini on his mu-
steal mettle, for it is now announced that
the latter is hard at work on a new
opera, which will be another triumph for
his light and versatile talent.
Puccini has been seriously writing q
comic opera, perhaps in order to drive
away the intense melancholy produced by
his tragic "Tosca.' He hit upon A.
Daudet's famous 'tTartarin sur les Alps
as lively subject, but the well known
novelist, Giacosa, who was asked to write
the libretto, considered the subject chosen
too trivial and suggested a theme from
Goldoni, the unsurpassed master of true
comicality. Puccini fell in with his
views, and Giacosa has already written
a most laughable and clever l1bretto,
based upon Goldonis "Baruffe Chioz-
zotte.'
The composer is now working out the
musical portion in the quiet tranquility
of his pretty little villa near Lake Ira
simene, IN Umbria. Italian musical
critics are on the qui vive to see whether
or not Puccini or Mascagni will keep the
field of public favor in the coming win
ter season of 1901.

MORE SPECIAL NIGHTS.
They Are Promised by banda Rosa
at Harriet.


at Harriet.
The week Of special concerts given at
Lake Harriet and which closed last night,
SO evidently pleased the public, that it has
been decided to extend the idea of spe-
cial programmes over this week. The re-
quest programme given last night was
made up of numbers requested by from
forty to seventy people in each city, the
total number Of requests having been
close upon zoo. The public interest in
programme construction is a surprise as
well to the management of the entertain
ments as to the director of the band, and
Signor Sorrentino expresses the greatest
satisfaction at having been able so easily
to discover the preferences of his audit
ors. 1t is tolerable certain that the re-
quest night experiment will be repeated
at an early date.
AT the same time 1t is demonstrated by
the character of the requests, that the
public taste is being well conserved by
this band, for the majority of the re-
quests called for numbers that have been
repeatedly given by the band during it's
Engagement Attention must also be
called to the fact that many requests
were for compositions not arranged for
brass bands at all, but which are purely
orchestral.
Two very fine programmes have been
prepared for today and there viii be spe-
iciaI concerts given throughout the week

TIE BURDENS ON TRAFFIC
MERCHANTS WANT THEM MADE
LESS.
Meet to Petition the Board of Health to
Raise the Embargo on Many Kinds of
Shipments.

A meeting of the merchants of the
city was held at 1:15 this afternoon to
consider the embargo on shipments of
merchandise to the other Islands. The
meeting was held at the Chamber of
Commerce. There was a very general
attendance of representatives of all
branches of trade.
F. M. Swanzy presided. A. Garten-
berg acted as secretary. Mr.. Barnes of
the Hebron Drug Company said he
thought that there were many classes
Of drugs and medicines which could be
as safely shipped as sugar bagging and
that 1T was quite as necessary that
those on the other islands who needed
drugs and medicines should get them
as that those who needed sugar bags
should get them.
W. W. Hall said that he thought there
were many kinds of hardware, particu-
larly such as were wholly of iron, and
had never been in the infected part of
town which could be as safely shipped
as sugar bags. Some similar sugges-
tions in relation to other lines of mer-
chandise were made.
"I don't know just what can be ac-
complshed by exchanging ideas here, I"
said Chairman Swanzy. 1--WE all rec
ogniza, ] suppose, that so far as lies
in our power we ought to second the
efforts of the Board of Health in
stamping out the plague and prevent
! ing it's spread to the other islands. We
recognize that this cannot be done
without great deal of personal sacri-
| fee. We all feel that there are arti-
| cles and ways of shipping them
which will not interfere with this pur-
pose 1t is felt that the Industries of
! the islands and particularly the prin-
! cipal industry of the islands, should
/ not be so interfered with as to the eX-
tent of paralysing it and bringing ruin

Association asked for permission to

are doubtless many other things which
can be shipped without danger. From
another point of view, those on the

| to depend for their current supplies on
Honolulu, are put in the position of be-
ing deprived of necessaries of life by
this stoppage of traffic.

prohibited, might safely be shipped un-
der proper regulations. To give the

THEORY. AND NOT A FACT

OF FEVER.
Water Which People Have Not Used is

Germs-Real Cause of Fever.

EDITOR STAR:-Honolulu needs a
filtration plant for Nuuanu valley wa
ter and needs 1t badly. Later in the
winter and in the spring it is to be ex-
pected that most of the city's mains
will draw from the valley reservoirs.
In view of the long, dry spell there will
be a greater accumulation of vegetable
matter in the water than ever before.
But when doctors say that the lack
of filtration plant is the cause of fever
in the city they simply do not know
what they are talking about. Some peo-
pie are yearning for less convenient
theory and more logic from certain
medical sources.
With the exception of one very short
period, the city proper, up to the high
levels, has not had a drop of valley
water since last June. The valleys,
sides Of Punchbowl and parts of Ma
kiki have had valley water, but strange
to say (apropos of DR.. Cleveland's theo-
ries) there has been very little fever in
those sections.
In fact fever has been confined almost
exclusively to the lower levels where

ONE CASE PLAGUE TO-DAY
A NATIVE ON LILIHA STREET
NEAR KAUKINI.
Kahelihi, Aged 10, Under Treatment
Since ay-Unmistakable Symp-
toms-Exodus From Aala.

One case of plague has developed to-
day. 1t is the native on Liliha street
near Kaukini, reported yesterday as
suspicious. Physicians of the Board or
Health were very hopeful of this case
yesterday but unmistakable symptoms
of plague appeared during the night.
The patients name is Kahelihi, aged
10 He has been i'll since Sunday. When
the doctors first called, guards were
placed around the house and have since
seen that nobody entered or left the
premises. This afternoon the patient
will be removed, if possible, to the
plague hospital. The man is very low
and may die before he can be removed.
Persons in the house will be removed
to the Kakaako detention camp and the
building will be burned.
This case, outside of quarantine,
would, under ordinary circumstances,
have been quite annoying. But it is
traceable directly to the infected dis
trict and a strict quarantine of the
premises has been maintained since the
very first hint of illness appeared.
The Japanese who was taken yester-
day from Kobayashi's residence in
Vineyard street was named Machida,
aged %. He is getting along today as
well as could be expected.
Very few cases of illness have been
reported today and the physicians have
had comparatively little to do. No new
cases of a suspicious nature have ap-
peared and the situation is most salts
factory in every way.
There was great alarm among Japan
| ese in the Aala district, near the depot,
yesterday afternoon. A woman died
rather unexpectedly, though of natural
causes. People in the neighbOrhood be-
came alarmed and in few minutes the
road was full of humanity crowding TO-
| ward Palama and Kalihi. An agent OF

Honolulu, H. l., January Sth, 1900
At a meeting of the Board of Health
held this afternoon a resolution was
adopted with relation to steamers leav
ing Honolulu for Island ports, which
provides as follows:
1. That all steamers or other vessels
engaged in inter-island commerce, are
prohibited from approaching closer
than 100 feet to the wharves, except by
special permission of the Board of
Health, and that they proceed outside
the harbor and remain at anchor during
the night.
2. That no passengers be allowed to
leave Honolulu for other ports on the
Islands until further notice. This does
not apply to Japanese laborers from
the Quarantine Station at Mauliola to
steamer without communication with
the shore, or to cabin passengers who
have been transferred directly from
foreign steamers in the stream to the
inter-island steamers without commun-
ication with the shore.
8. That shipment of food and fodder
materials be allowed only when same
are transshipped from foreign vessels
lying in the stream without having
touched the wharf).
4. That shipment of the following
articles, not liable to infection be per-
mitted from the port of Honolulu under
supervision of the Board, viz:
Coin in bags (after boiling or disin-
fection).
Lime.
Machinery.
Coal from vessels in harbor only.
Bricks.
Portland cement
Sugar bags (when same are disin-
fected by steam or other effective
means).
And such other articles as the Board
may deem equally uninfectious.

FREIGHT sCHEDuLE.

At meeting of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association held yesterday re-
concentrations to the Board of Health
respecting shipments of freight were
made, and during the afternoon were
presented. The Board approved of the
recommendations and adopted the fol-
lowing schedule of freight that may be
shipped to the other islands: Coin in
bags, when disinfected; lime, ma
chinery, coal from vessels in the har-
Dor only; bricks, Portland cement,
sugar bags when properly fumigated
and such freight as the Board of Health
may deem uninfectious.
This schedule has been posted by the
Board and the steamship agencies ana
shippers notified as to what articles
may be shipped.

HELP FOR THE HELPLESS.
Chamber of Commerce Meets to Con-
slider the Situation.


slider the Situation.
The Chamber Of Commerce proposes
to take up the question of what shall
be done with the people whose homes
have been destroyed and themselves re-
moved to the observation and quaran-
tine barracks after they have passed
through the period of quarantine.
A meeting was called for o'clock this
afternoon to discuss the subject. While
the position taken by the physicians IN
the series of resolutions presented 10
the Board of Health yesterday, that in
fected houses should be burned, meets
the sentiment of the community, neita-
er the resolutions nor the action of the
Board of Health outlines what shall be
done with the people, who without fault
of their own are deprived of their
homes and in many cases of their all,
after they have come out of quarar-
tine.
1t seems to be considered that this is
not strictly a matter either for the
Board of Health, or for the executive
department of the government. At
least that it is not for them to take the
initiative. BY q sort of common con-
sent those who have called the meet
ing seem to think it is a matter in
which the citizens should take the
initiative, and that the Chamber OF
Commerce and the Planters Associa-
tion and kindred bodies are the ones to
start the movement. Hence the call for
the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce.
There was a large attendance at the
meeting. The discussion took a very
wide range covering the whole subject
of the present situation. No definite ac-
tion had been taken at the time The
Star went to press.

1t has been decided to burn the old

building occupied at first by plague pa
tients The rifle range booths were oc-
cupied today and there is no longer a
need for the old quarters 1t is expected
that the fire department will destroy
the building during this afternoon.

Beretania from which the Japanese wo-
man was taken last Sunday is being APP
praised and will be burned as soon as
possible Most of the property in Block
10 has been appraised and 1t is expected
that the fire there will take place to-
morrow.
