ling.

A very unexpected change has ia
ken place in the VT. Sterling Schools
By The election OF Snpt. Warfield to
the chair of English in Woodward
High School, Cincinnati, the super
iniendeDcy at Mt. Sterling WAS made
vacant, and this, too, after all plans
for the year we're made.
The trustees filled the vacancy by
secting as Superintendent Prot. H.
NJ. Gum, of Lexington. Viewed
from every standpoint this election
was wise one. Prof. Gum is a
graduate OF the State College, and a
cultured gentleman. He has had ex-
perience in almost every grade OF
school work; besides, and better than
all, he carries into his new position a
fund Of good common aense which
will, no doubt, with other nigh quail
ties as a teacher and as man, make
his administration a very successful
one. We grace our front page with
an engraving Of his photo.--Sou.hern

ITO County Superintendent;
"Under q recent decision of the
Court OF Appeals the deficit of over
$4,000, yet due certain cities on
last school year, must be paid out OF
the fund of the present year, and
must be paid before any other war
rants are drawn. The payment OF
this will make ii impossible to pay
you the 40 per cent. due your teach
ers on the 18Th; only 20 per cent. can
be paid. You will please explain to
your teachers that this is due to the
fact that the per capita was declared
too high last year.

COMMITTEE
THE BOARD or HEALTH GETS a
MOVE ON
win Devise Plans for Stamping out the
Disease in the Hawaiian Islands
Houses to be Burned

The Board of Health purposes taking
the bull by the horns I'm the matter of
consumption i'm the Hawaiian Islands.
For several months there has been a
strong underCurrent OF popular opin-
ion i'm favor of immediate and drastic
measures, and this has made its inn
preston upon the authorities in a way
that may bring substantial results. THE
steady increase of the number of tuber-
Cular cases and the appearance or "a
case at the head of a public school "A
short time ago, brought the matter UP
in its strongest light.
At yesterdays meeting of the Health
Board the report of DR.. Day was
brought up. DR.. Wood spoke most ear
nestly on the subject and advocated
action right now. He submitted at the
same time statistics showing the alarm
ing advance of the disease in the past
several years. At the conclusion of his
remarks Attorney General Dole, DR..
Cooper and President Wood were ap-
pointed a committee to devise means
for handling the question.
DR.. Carmichael served formal notice
that the quarantine against San Fran
cisco had been lifted by Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman. This was a disappoint-
ment, as the Board feels that the pre-
caution is still necessary. While the
local Board has the power to act over
the head of the Marine hospital service
it is not desirable to take such steps as
will cause friction. The Marine Hos
pital service directs national quaran-
tine; the Territorial Board of Health
has full power to quarantine against
any other part of the United States
Just what course will be taken has not
yet been determined but it is safe to
say that proper precautions will not be
omitted by the local authorities, no
matter what the course of the Marine
Hospital service may be.
1t was decided to destroy the old
plague hospital and morgue in Kakaako
by fire The suspect camp at the sa-
luting battery will be torn down and
removed.
L. w. Zumwalt, health agent at Ka-
hului, resigned. A vote of thanks was
rendered him for his services.

The new OCEANIC LINZ
AUSTRALIA AND MARIPOSA FOR
TAHITI.
The Tahiti Government Gives a Subsidy
of Thirty Thousand Dollars a Year
First Glass Passenger Steamers.

WASHINGTON, June Isl. Lamb
Doty, consul of the United States at
Tahiti, has reported to the State De-
partment regarding an American
steamship line between Tahiti and San
Francisco, as follows:
For the annual sum of $4,000 francs
1890, 600 in United States gold to be paid
by the Tahiti government, and eXemp-
ton from port charges, the Oceanic
Steamship Company is to operate an
American steamship of about 5000 tons
gross register, performing eleven round
trips per annum at an average speed
of not less than 1872 knots. The con-
tract is awarded for a period of five
years from the first voyage, which is
to be made not later than November
/, 1900, and earlier if possible.
1T is the purpose of this company
to use a first class passenger steam
ship and make the service attractive in
all particulars and it is anticipated
that this will become a favorite route
of travel when the charm of the climate
and scenery of Tahiti become known.
THE Inauguration of this line VIII
give great impetus to United States
trade with Tahiti, and, in general, will
other islands of Eastern Polynesia. The
Pacific Coast of the United States viii
be particularly benefited, as perishable
goods-such as fruits, vegetables and
meats-which now are received eXclus-
lively from New Zealand, will then come
from San Francisco.
For over thirty-four years a regu-
lar monthly sailing vessel service has
been maintained between Tahiti and
San Francisco. 1t may be predicted
that if the Oceanic Steamship Company
continues in this business for five years
the trade between the United States
and Tahiti will not only experience a
great extension, but that the proportion
of value will increase from 90 to 70 pei
cent"
The Australia and Mariposa are bott
reported to be intended for use in the
Tahiti trade, when the Oceanic COmpa'
nv gets all it's new steamers ready.

TRANs-PACTFTC COMBINATION.
TRAMP STEAMER BRINGS BIG CARGO FROM
CHINA AND JAPAN.

San Francisco. Aug. % (SpeciaD.-The big Norwe-
gian steamer Eidvold, unloading here her
cargo from China and Japan, has dealt heavy
blow TO the steamship combination that last May
raised freight rates % to so per cent. This in
crease meant 81 ton, $4,000 a five thousand
ton cargo. NJ. J. Brandensten Co. the large
tea importing house, decided to act against this
monopoly, and they chartered early this year the
Fidvod and loaded her at Shanghai.
They could only about two thousand tons
they rIsked the chance of securing the remaining
three thousand tons from outside shippers at Kobe
and Yokohama. Despite the great pressure brought
void obtained full cargo and sailed July a.
The success of This big tramp steamer will be
to encourage others to fight the steamship combna-
tion and it will be impossible to maintain the pres
ent high rates. The Eidvold is under charter
to the Russian Government to carry supplies to
Port Arthur, but she will be in Shanghai again
next October, ready to compete with the trans
Pacific steamship combination.
