WORK OF THE COUNCILS.

IT REQUIRED $1,000 WRITTEN
WORDS. AND 900, 900 SPOKEN.
City business in all departments has
been active this month Instead OF one
meeting of the city Common council
there We're three meetings. They oc-
Cured on the 9th, the Sth, and the 18th.
There were several meetings OF the
Select council and many meetings OF
the various special and regular COM
mittees from both bodies.
Not only was the month an active
one iii the legislative bodies of the
city. but the year has been more ac-
tive than usual. The story is told in
the record book kept by Mr. Robert T..
-Si-4--@l -eiefh-ef tite-ett,-- tfe;tst1-
ry.
From November 1899, to November,
1900. the number of pages used in that
book for copying the minutes was 3i5,
or an average of more than IS pages
Il month.
This month, however. the number of
pages used is So. This is for the Com
mon council alone. 1t does not include
any of the work OF the Select council
nor any OF the work of the various
committees. Some of the latter have
required as much writing as the
average council meeting requires. But
the minutes for them are recorded in
n separate book.
The pages of the Common councils
record measure II by IS inches They
are written closely, averaging. say, ten
words to the line and fifty lines to the
page, that would make an average of
500 words to the page ana $1,000 words
for this month.
AS not more than one in fifty of the
words that We're spoken have been re-
corded that shows that the councils
must have reveled in about 900. 900
words for the month OF November,
Which is not vet gone.

SOMETHING DROPPED.
Judge Wilcox Lectures an mat
tentive Attorney.

Attorney Strauss was a picture of
contentment as he lolled easily in his
chair in the Police Court with his back
toward Judge Wilcox yesterday morn
ing. He looked as if he owned the
Court, but the expression on His Hon
or's face showed that he thought diff
ferently. In fact deep furrow gath
cred between the Judges eyes. as he
gazed upon the back of the coal black
head before him. Attorney Strauss of
course did not see the storm rising on
the bench.
ORiley, the negro charged with a
serious crime. was on trial and his case
was handled by Attorney Strauss. The
prosecution rested and announced to
the Judge their side OF the case was
finished. 4 humble came from the
parted lips of Mr.. Strauss which the
Judge could not hear, but it was evil
dent he meant to say that there was
no defense to offer. Judge Wilcox took
off his spectacles, and said sharply:
Mr.. Strauss, when you have anything
to say to the Court, stand up and say
IT. and let me see the complexion of
your face" He paused an instant, and
Mr.. Strauss complexion became red.
II you have no respect for the Judge
personally, you must have some re-
spect for the Office which he fills"

THE DISEASE WAS CHECKED IN
HIS CASE.
The Doctors Say It's Progress Was
Arrested-He Has a cure But Keeps
1t Secret.

The leprosy case of George Pratt is
one that is of much interest To the doc
tors and there is a good deal f discus
sion about his condition and his alleged
cure for the 'incurable disease" When
Pratt landed here he stated that he
had cure for leprosy, and since then
he has told some people that he came
here for the purpose 'uring another
leper who is now at the detention camp
Pratt's own condition, his leprosy being
according to all the doctors who have
examined him, if not, cured at least
arrested adds interest to the sup
posed cure, and there has been much
speculation as to the nature of the me-
dicine he has with him.
Pratt refuses to tell anything about
the medicine with which he claims to
have cured himself and with which he
was to treat the other unfortunate. He
says 1t is a secret and he intends to
keep IL as a secret. Whether he is
taking" in this as in many other state
ment which he is said to have made
without due regard to the truth is a
question for those who know him to
decide.
1t is admitted by all the doctors who
have examined Pratt that his leprosy is,
to say the least arrested" 1t is no
longer making any progress in his sys-
TEN, and it is said to be not contagious
now. How this state of affairs came
about is a question.
II don't know anything about Pratt S
alleged cure" said DR.. Carmichael this
morning. He is keeping it to himself
and refuses to tell what the madeline
is. There is no doubt that his leprosy
has been checked, but this does not ne
cessarily prove that he has a cure for
it. Leprosy like tuberculosis, may Of
ten be arrested by proper food and care
Pratt has been in the pest house at
San Francisco for some years. and II
may be that the food and comforts he
had there stopped the progress or the
disease. AS far as the cure is con-
cerned II may be said that there is good
reason to doubt that any medicine
/ taken internally will cure leprosy."
Pratt tells some queer stories about
the way in which San Francisco looks
! after her lepers. 1t appears from his
accounts that the pest house in which
| the lepers are kept is sort of hotel
at which they may stay or not as they
choose. Pratt says that his home was
| there but that he left whenever he
wanted to. He would decide to gC
away when he wanted to, and he woulC
! simply leave, and when he decided t
return would go back and live at tn,
pest house again.

THOSE CLAIMS ARE PAU MEAT FROM TIE coast
COLD STORAGE STEAMER ALBION
ARRIVES.
Australian Meat Will Soon Be Cut out
Here-Opening of the New Honolulu
Market

The steamer Albion, which left San
Francisco on the 26th of last month,
with cold storage freight for the new
meat market, arrived this morning
Nearly all her cargo is on ice, and her
arrival is the beginning of the importa-
tions of the Honolulu Meat Company,
which is nearly ready to open it's new
market Her arrival is also blow at
the Australian meat business here.
The Albion has about 600 tons of
meats, vegetables, etc, for the new
market She was fitted up especially
for the carrying of frozen Cargoes, and
is under charter to the new meat COM
pany. She will probably make several
more trips here, with supplies for the
local market. With the vessels that are
to come from Seattle. she will give Hon
olulu quite a supply of cold storage
steamers.
The increase in the number of steam
ers on the run between here and the
coast, to carry meats, means the end,
it is said, of the shipments of meat from
the colonies. Steamers of the Canadian
line on their home trips all bring meat
for Honolulu from Australia, but now
that the California dealers are begin
ing to be more active in the business
the Colonies are likely to be cut out.
The new Meat market is to open next
Saturday night. The big store in the
Waverly block, in which it's business is
to be done, is now receiving the finish
ing touches and there will be a grand
opening of the Opposition market
when Saturday comes.

WANT A RAND

WAILUKU, Maui, December sc.
b. Robertson, the Maui News" editor
is one of the prime movers in an effort
to establish permanent band in
Wailuku. He has strongly impressed
the public, through the columns of his
paper, almost the necessity of having
one, with so many musicians and
music lovers in Wailuku, can not a
srlnged band at least, be gotten up to
amuse us?" says Mr.. Robertson. How
ever, Robertson fails to see that nearly
every musician is pianist. Several
people are assisting the editor, in rem
dering their assistance to such an
end; there are many who have good
talent for music in this town, and the
only things needed are the instruments
and a proper director.
With a band of fifteen, the orchestra
would be to Wailuku as Berger's band
is to Honolulu, and the music will be
just as pleasing to the crowd in at
tendance.

HACKMAN MCGOWAN TESTS THE
LAW
Tries to Keep His Hack Waiting Away
From a stand-Bail Forfeited To-
day.

For the third time in about a week
hackman MCGOWAN was before Judge
Wilcox this morning for violating rule
"a of the hack regulations McGowan
is said by the police to have started out
with the intention of establishing his
right to have a hack stand wherever
he wanted to, but he has probably
changed his mind now.
The first time McGowan was arrested
he was charged with allowing his hack
to stand at the corner of Fort and Ho-
tel streets, where the police say he
had made arrangements to be tele-
phoned for if anyone wanted him.
When he appeared in court he said he
didn't know anything about the laws
regarding hacks, and he was allowed
to go with only a reprimand.
Arrest number two came the next
day, for the same offense. This time
MCGOWAN pleaded guilty and there
was no doubt that he knew the law.
He was fined So and costs, and Judge
Wilcox told him that there would be
serious trouble if he was brought up
again.
This morning the name of MCGOWAN
was called, but he did not appear. He
had $25 bail up, and chose to forfeit it
rather than face the wrath of the
judge.
MCGOWAN has no stand" and he ap-
pears to keep his hack in any place
where he thinks there is business.
There is store near the corner OF
Hotel and Fort streets whose owner is
said to be trying to have the locality
made "A hack stand, and MCGowan is
declared to have kept his hack there
as "feeler."
