IN POI.
Insanitary Shops are a
Public Menace.
Dangerous Damp--Rigid Regulations
Required - Practical Protest
Promises Improvement.

The poi-pounders can be observed
most any day at work in their little
shops, over the doors OF which flags
claiming to have once been white float
tattered to the breeze.
The typical Honolulu poi-shop is not
the most inviting institution in the
world. 1t is generally a dilapidated
shanty of small dimensions posses
sing a rough wooden floor. the boards
OF which are far apart, allowing the
waste water and poi to pass through
ON to the ground, which it soaks and
keeps in perpetual state OF damp.
The floors are not always wet, for the
reason that poi is not being made
every hour in the day; but the ground
beneath is always damp and a con-
slant menace to the resident and to
the public generally.
The waste vegetable matter which
unavoidably finds it's way into the
ground under present conditions, is a
most encouraging soil for the growth
of bacilli of all kinds. The poi-shop.
are conducted, as a rule, in an ex-
ceedingly careless manner, receiving
only a superficial washing each day.
They have been a continual source OF
complaint from citizens for some time
and now DR.. Pratt, the city sanitary
officer. has taken up the matter. A
communication received by the ex-
ecutive officer of the Board OF Health
from DIR. Pratt was, at the Board
meeting yesterday, referred to the
Minister of the Interior with the
recommendation that Section S33 o,
Penal Laws be put into erect IL pos
sible.
Following a preamble on the i'm
portance of the matter brought to the
attention of the Board, the city san
itary officer says:
II have been in a number of poi
shops and all that | have examined
consider not only a menace to the peo-
pie living there, but also to the pub
lie health.
THE floors on which they pound
the poi are of rough boards with
large cracks so that the dirty water
runs down underneath the floors. The
floors are not constantly damp so that
do not see how Section of the San
itary regulations could apply to them;
but underneath, the ground must be
continually damp. The floors are of
such a character that they cannot be
kept in a clean and sanitary condition.
| consider IL to be one OF the most i'm
portant things for the Board of Health
to take action on. Either some san
itary regulations should be enacted TO
cover poi-shops, or the Minister OF the
Interior requested to ask for an APP
preparation from the Council of State
so that he can carry out Section 933 of
the Penal Laws"

weeks, commencing from tonight, will

tracts arranged and signed last even

plete control of the Orpheum stage,
in which capacity he will put on the
most elaborate productions yet seen
in Honolulu. His own company with
their musical and comedy strength,
will, of course, be utilized and all
vaudeville talent now at and booked
for the house will also be utilized, pre-
senting the unique feature of two full
companies on the stage in one even
ing. The only fault now to be guard
ed against will be a possible surfeit
of too many good things. Hogan Is a
producer of infinite ideas and the gen.
ius of taking unlimited pains, as the
smartness and go of his own produc-
lions have amply verified. Tonight's
entertainment will consist OF an elab-
crate minstrel first part, white and

several new songs and choruses in the
niece of which the words are by Allan
Dunn and the music by Hogan. The
title of the comedy, "a Country Coon"
suggests a host of merry ideas and
situations. While the new arrange

Mr.. Cohen believes firmly that the
scheme will pay, although the idea
was prompted solely by the wish to

A Visi% to the County Fair.

After a four days tramp on our
County Fir ground, seeing sights
and chatting with friends, we find
ourselves al home alone. As we ex
pected to take a weeks pleasure,
none of the family hadn't returned
save myself, being detained, by rain.
We landed home about eleven o'clock
last night and found an old time
colored frie1d, who had been left in
charge of tie eplace, who soon hustled
off for his own abode. We soou
went to bed and all went right until
next morning. There was nobody
to get breakfast, but we rolled the
pots around until we got up some
thing, but it was not in hotel style,
though we struck the coff,e pretty
we'll which aided u in fl f)ating down
poor breakfast.
Returning to the scenes of the
fair. We believe no county can beat
us, especially on fzll crop, house
hold and needle and fancy work.
Everybody seemed satisfied, only
one or two, we heard complaining
One said be did not get his q1arters
worth. He OIL, saw a few horses,
cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, &c. He
said be would have liked to 60 into
them two big houses just to see how
big the families were, they kept
going in and out and but few Of the
family favored and he could not tell
the daddy and nanny from the
children. Said there were lots of
them who had gray heads, but be
thought in that low fl It house Ger
man family lived for be saw an old
looking man c3me to the door seve,
ri times and talk to the people and
ask them in. He said he suppose
be was the daddy and he talked
pretty Dutchy. he said if he had
asked him in be would have went in
Just to see his children cutting up
their pranks, for some were mocklng
chickens, Growing and csckling; ducks
and geese i,bberiug, he knew they
were lively family.
Well, Mr. E iitor, some people say
a fair is DO place for Christian to
90 but we think different, for We saw
three ministers there erj j>ying them
selves who we believe are Christians,
AID we think their presence keeps
down some of their church mem
bers, for Christ did not only 60
among the righteous, but also went
among the sinners.
In this section the farmers are
about done gathering their crops and
most of them have enough to pull
them through by keeping their purse
strings pretty tight. We will close
with best wishes for you and your
paper. Il.
