sumption than have dlod " plague
But we go calmly ON allowing the germs
Co float In the air and contamlnate the
rising generation I'm ever increasing
ratio.
The main danger from consumption
to a race, is that it attacks mankind In
the very best years Of It's life The
victims are, as u rule, found between
the ages Of fifteen and thirty-hve. It
may be said TO attack the very flower
OF the race. That It can be fought and
beaten Is well known. In England,
where great attention is paid to the
disease, its ravages have been circum-
scribed, but though the death rate from
this cause has been reduced, and per-
ceptibly reduced, while in France, Ger
many Russia and the United states, 1t
keeps ever increasing, still 1t continues
to reap every year a frightful holo-
caust of victims.
tuberculosis is not merely confined to
purely pulmonary phthisis, though in
speaking of the disease here the re-
marks have been confined to that form
of the disease. Many cases of bron-
chial troubles, of pleurisy, of meningitis,
of peritonitis, and of enteritis are of the
same nature. The microbe enters the
human patient either through the lungs
by breathing, the digestive organs by
eating, or through the skin by scratches
sores, wounds, ulcers, or the stings of
insects.
The main danger arises from the ex-
pectorations of consumptive patients.
AS long as they remain in liquid state
they do no harm, but the moment they
dry the microbes rise in a fine impal-
pable powder, which is waited hither
and thither by every little eddy of air,
and falls upon food utensils, clothes, is
breathed into the lungs, and easily
commences it's deadly work.
Nothing shocks person, who realizes
the danger of tuberculosis, more than
the condition of our street cars Their
floors are frequently a mass of expec-
toration, which is allowed to dry dur
ing the day, and which must send
thousands and probably millions of
germs upon their deadly errand. In
other places expectoration of this sort
is not permitted. A man would as soon
think of expectorataing on the floor of
a Washington street car as he would
in lady's drawing room. If he does
so forget his manners he is immediate
ly given his walking ticket by the con-
ductor
There are countless ways by which
this dread disease can attack the hu-
man victim, but because we cannot
guard against all, is no argument that
we should not guard against some.
Consumption is on the increase in these
Islands, and it is our bounden duty to
do all we can to check it's further ad-
vance. If it were disease like cholera,
smallpox or plague, we would be up In
arms at once, but because it is not re-
pulsive in it's earlier stages we seem to
/ have no fear and no horror of it, yet II
| is the most deadly foe that the human
race has to contend with.

The road up the Nuuanu to the Pail
will stand as a monument to the last
Legislature of the Republic of Hawaii.
The road is thoroughly satisfactory, and
is an easy grade all the way. The
cyclist no longer finds it a matter Of
difficulty to reach the Pail There is a
very small piece left to finish and that
is near town. The main work is quite
completed. There is nothing so impor-
tant to a country as good roads and
an enormous stride has been made in
this direction under the Republic. When
the old executive lays down it's burden,
the new executive viii find very diff
ferent condition of roads to what there
was eight years ago. Places which had
never seen a wheeled cart, are now
easily reached by vehicle. In no place
has there been more improvement than
on the Island of Hawaii, where wheeled
traffic is rapidly superseding the old
horseback travel.

ANOTHER WARNING.

The Star has published a considerable
amount of matter upon tuberculosis.
In another column will be found the
translation of the report of the league
for the prevention of tuberculosis which
was established in France in 1898. The
translation was made at the request of
the state department. No one who reads
through the report can be so obtuse as
not to see the danger. In France one
sixth of the total deaths are caused
by pulmonary tuberculosis. Taking all
the civilized countries together in Eu-
rope and America the death roll from
this disease alone amounts to close on
a million annually. 1t is a death roll
greater that that of any other disease
that attacks the human race. Small
pox, typhoid fever, cholera and plague
do not claim anything like the number
of victims.
With ourselves the number of deaths
from the disease is steadily increasing.
For this year, so far 1t has averaged
about twenty per month, which is close
on to one-fifth of the total number of
deaths Since January /. far more
people have died in Honolulu from con-

STORIES OF The STAGE


Next Saturday at the Burtis will be
presented Charles Frohman's produc-
ton of David Belasco's thrilling play,
Tara" The play has created ire
mendous impression here and abroad,
and the success of "Zaza" still con-
tinues in undisputed triumph. Mr..
Frohman has had great difficulty in
securing a company to properly Por-
tray te characters as they should
appear in "Zaza Everything alb
solutely necessary for a grand pro-
duction will be used. Special scenery
is carried by the company and all the
desired appointments for first-class
performance. That the play and COM
pany will be received by large and
fashionable audience Is already an
assured fact.
That happy satirical farce comedy,
Hoyt's "a Texas Steer" will be given
at Harper's theatre Sunday night. by
what is claimed to be practically the
original company that made the piece
one of the great theatrical successes
of the past decade. In "a Texas
Steer" the misery of the life of office
seekers as told by colored applicant
from the newly elected congressman
district is considered one of the clev-
crest hits that has graced the stage
in many years.
The leading concert bands of Amer
lea are undoubtedly among the best
in the world and are in favor with
classes and masses alike. They have
brought band music into the domain
of high art and have exerted an adj
mirable influence. Prior to their
coming the repertoire of all military
bands was necessarily linked to such
martial airs as Dixie" and when
Johnnie Comes Marching Home
Gilmore, Sousa and Innes have, how
ever, changed all this. The recent
success of the Sousa band in Paris,
and that of Innes at mis- big Atlantic
City auditorium during the past two
has amply demonstrated
the fact that high artistic merit is re-
warded alike in either the old or new
worlds. During his forthcoming en-
here lines promises to give
scenes from Faust" ''Lohengrin"
and Carmen. with Signori Noldi.
