FROM THE BATTERY CAMP
HAPPENINGS OF DIR. NICHOLS
PRESERVES.
Everything in Good Order and Inmates
of the Camp are Happy-Che Chill
dren-Incidents

Dr. Nichols knows full we'll the truth
of the old saying, Satan finds mischief
for idle hands to do" From the first.
he has endeavored to keep the people
IN quarantine here happily and protit-
ably employed.
The men are on duty as watchmen,
carpenters, cooks, tailors, store keep
ers, and general helpers
Joseph Smith, one of the most intelli-
gent boys in camp, is kept busy from
early morning until late at night find
ing out the wants of the Hawaiian
people. These wants are reported to
the office, and they are promptly at
tended to by those in charge.
Tome More attends to the wants of
the japanese people. Although but a
lad of fourteen years, he is quite cap
able of looking after the wants of twice
as many people of his race. The jap
anese are very modest in their re-
quests they ask for what is needed,
no more, no less, and they frequently
express their gratitude for the kind
! treatment they are receiving at the
hands of the Hawaiian government.
! Chong King, known in camp as
! Wall Nichols" is looking out for the
needs of his people. His services are
| invaluable. He makes the Chinese
"sabe" everything. Their wants are
many and wall Nichols has no easy
| task.
From the beginning the women have
been kept busy sewing. Each woman
| is given material for a holoku and
! muumuu. Those wishing to do so, are
| given material to make bags to carry
their personal effects out of camp when
their fifteen days" have expired.
These effects are thoroughly fUmigated
Just before the people are released.
Every room is supplied with scissors.
thimbles, needles and thread. At the
request of the Hawaiian women, mate
rial for handkerchiefs will be distribute
ed next week. :
The children have been well cared
for, but it has been no easy task to
keep them clean, warm. well-fed, and
we'll dressed. If the ladies of Honolulu
could see the Chinese, Japanese and
Hawaiian babies here logged out in the
clothing sent to the Board of Health
rooms, they would feel amply repaid
for their kindness.
A visitor going the rounds" in Bat
terry Camp would be greatly interested
in the occupations of the people. They
not only sew, but they read, write
converse, play games, pick the guitar
and mandolin, and sing songs, the
words and music of which they are
constantly composing and often i'm
provising.
The power of adaptability in thi.

ENRATPROOF WHARF
ITS CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN AT
ONCE.
1t viii be Built Near the Healani Boat
House at the Beginning of the
Channel.

The location of the quarantine wharf
and warehouse recently discussed and
recommended by the Chamber of Com
merce is to be near the Healani Boat
House; on the Waikiki side of the be-
ginning of the channel 1t will be COM
pletely rat-proof and will be kept in
strict quarantine for free" vessels.
The work of construction is in charge
of Edward Suhr of Hackfeld & Com
pany and President Ena of the Inter-
Island Steamship Company.
The channel is over thirty feet deep
and twenty feet quite close in to the sea
wall. There is room for a wharf 400
feet long and 200 or more feet wide. 1t
will be out of the way of harbor traffic
and quite near the city without being
in danger of contamination. The wharf
will be of value not only during the
present epidemic, but If in the future
any similar outbreak should occur, II
will be ready for use. 1t is the inten-
tion to make it rat-proof by covering
every pile with brass all the way uI
and placing at the top of each pile q
tin guard that will stop rats from
climbing as they are now being KEEP
by tin tunnels from running up ropes
to vessels moored at the docks.
Work is to be begun on the new whar
at the earliest possible moment and il
is hoped that it will be ready for use
in a few weeks. Mr.. Ena and Mr.. Subj
were looking after the project thi.
morning.

NATIVE BOY FOUND ILL LAST
NIGHT.
Probably Has Pneumonia-Day With
a Clean Record-One Suspect Dies
But Not of Plague.

aturday-Plague deaths, 0; plague
cases, 0; suspect cases, 0.
The plague situation today is quite
satisfactory. There have not been any
suspect cases and only two plague pa
tients at the pest hospital may be con-
sidered in danger.
At the meeting this afternoon the
Board of Health will likely condemn
the premises of All Man, at the rear
of the Mclean block. This was the
victim of Thursday night.
Hoomanawanui, native boy 16
years of age, was found i'll in Jack s
lane off Wyllie street last night. Dr.
Garvin found the patient suffering from
pneumonia and a slight suspicion of
plague Guards were placed about the
premises and the case is still being
watched without a positive diagnosis.
1t is more than probable that pneumo-
MIA is the sole trouble. The young
man had been working on tn buildings
at the Kalihi detention camp and was
subjected to more or less exposure.
Chiega, the Japanese taken Wednes-
day night from the Kalihi camp to the
pest house, died shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning. Cause of death was
pneumonia, not plague.
| Last night Superintendent Needham,
of tn Reformatory school, reported a
case of illness among his pupils. DR..

lock breaking. There are a large num-
ber of witnesses against them The
case was continued this morning at the
request of Hansler until Tuesday
morning.

THE FATAL HOUR

EDITOR STAR:-Companies A, C. F.
came in from Kalihi this morning to
change clothing, take a bath and be
fumigated. They arrived at headquar-
ters about o'clock, and were told that
things were not quite ready for fumi-
cation, and they could go for an hour
and be back at 10 o'clock. They quickly
took advantage of this hour and scat
tered all over the city.
Query? If fumigation was necessary,
was it not wrong for them to be given
this hour of liberty before fumigation?
If they carried any germs, they could
in this hour scatter them all over the
city. CITIZEN.

THE HUNOR OF INSPECTION
FUNNY THINGS THAT HAPPEN
THESE DAYS.
The Chinese Who Lost His Presence Of
Mind But Recovered 1t AOain-Portu-
guese Who moved.

1t is not all serious business, this
work of the sub-inspectors. Amusing
incidents occur. Sub Inspector w. H.
Crawford was appealed to by Chinese
to approve his application for remov-
al permit Crawford believing 1t to be
all right wrote an endorsement on the
application and gave it to the Celestial
Then the Chinaman with a surprising
lack of Oriental finesse told Crawford
that he had escaped from the quaran-
tine district during the excitement of
the big fire. Crawford said he would
fix that and taking back the application
scratched out his endorsement and
made a note "See accompanying let
ter" Then he wrote a letter to the
committee stating the facts, giving 1t
to the Chinese with his application and
told him to take it to the Sanitary COM
mittee. But the Chinese seems to have
recovered his Oriental presence of mind
about this time and gave the letter and
application to a Chinese friend to take
to the committee. The friend, all unsus-
pecting, went down to the committee
rooms, and of course as soon as the let
ter was read was put under arrest and
taken to the police station. He had to
send for Crawford to get him out of his
pilikia. This morning Crawford hunted
up the right Chinaman and he will have
to face Judge Wilcox.
Another sub-inspector found among
his wards a Portuguese who gave him
and the whole neighborhood an I'm
mense amount of trouble. Finally bot
tie of Square face" came to the rescue
and the Portuguese was arrested fol
drunkenness. He couldn't pay his fine
and his friends wouldn't, so he went t.
Jail. The sub-inspector with great glet
noted on his report opposite the man.

HE SAW A GHOST.
Native Soldier Discovers a Spook in
Kawaiahao Cemetery,

Late Thursday night a native mill
tary guard on duty at the edge of Ka-
waiahaO cemetery shrieked out wildly
for the corporal of the guard. That
functionary responded at a full run,
surmising all sorts of bad things. The
guard, with his knees trembling and
fear depicted in his every molecule, de-
clared that he had seen a ghost rise
and sink into one of the graves FIVE
times in quick succession.
why don't you arrest him." sternly
demanded the corporal
The soldier answered with a wide
open mouth and a blank stare. He
pleaded to be reievd at once as he was
sure there was a ghost in the cemetery.
The man was relieved.

he was put on one of the details for
post duty. When ordered out he told
the corporal that he would not go. The
corporal reported him to the sergeant
of the guard and the latter ordered the
recruit to his post. The man replied
in a rather insolent manner that he
would not go.
The sergeant reported to the officer
of the day and a few minutes later
placed the recruit under arrest on the
charge of refusing duty. This will call
for regimental court-martial with a
heavy penalty upon conviction.

Thinking of Her.

In the "Recollections Of New Eng
land Town" Is the story of Mr.. Bush,
an inventor and a very studious man,
who sometimes became SO absorbed In
thought as to forget both place and
people.
His wife was a notable housekeeper,
but she did not always go to church.
One Sunday she accompanied her hus-
band thlther, and glad and proud was
he. But when the service was over he
walked away home, leaving her be-
hind. Mrs. Bush was grieved.
"My DEAR" she said when she reach
ed the house, II don't know what peo-
pie will think. You came away with
out me. 1t was plain to be seen that l
was entirely forgotten"

Stoyynway Brides.

Stowaway brides are not as rare at
the barge office as one would believe.
1t is quite easy for girl to slip aboard
an outgoing steamer and stow herself
In one of the hunks below decks, lying
quietly there until well at sea- A case
happened a little while ago, the girl
coming to meet her fiance here. AS
both were poor, the former resorted TO
this perilous expedient to accomplish
the desired end. One would think
that such a heroic endeavor would de-
serve better reception. But on arriv-
ing, having been worked very hard on
shipboard for passage, worn and wor-
ried almost to distraction, the maiden
was so changed by her ordeal of love
that when her betrothed met her he
refused to marry her. A few days
later, while being taken back TO the
ship for deportation, she leaped into
the bay. Rescued gallantly, she linger-
ed n prisoner In the charity hospital,
but died some weeks later, literally Of
n broken heart.-Ainslee's Magazine.
