munity were almost within our grasp.
And then there was a suspicious case,
not in the detention camps where it
might have been supposed to have been
incubating, but in a part of the town
which was believed to be healthy and
clean, and distant from the former
plague center. BY afternoon, the case
was pronounced undoubtedly plague,
and yesterday afternoon the man, a
whiteman, died.
Is it any wonder that a depressed
feeling came over so many; that they
felt the cruelty of the reprieve of a
week, to be once more brought face to
face with the disease that many
thought they had escaped from; that
the lives and happiness and prosperity
of one and all seemed at the arbitrary
within of a malignant power, that gives
its victims respite, only to seize them
again, as the cat does the crawling,
half dead mouse.
But We must look at the matter in
more hopeful light. Unless there is
a heavy crop of cases these few that
spring up from time to time are only
perhaps the last expiring efforts of the
disease and it is by no means fastening
upon the community with renewed
vitality. The next few days will tell
the tale.
The lesson we have before us is that
however hopeful the prospect may APP
pear there must be no relaxation Of
vigilance. The inspectors and sub-in-
spectors must be as exacting at the
end of a week of respite, as they have
been when two to three deaths a day
were reported. The Board of Health
must be as vigorous as ever in segre-
eating those who come in contact with
infected cases, and destroying proper
ty which has in any way become in
fected. No foolish kindness of DISPOSE
ton should take the place and blind the
eyes Of stern resolve to stamp out the
plague no matter whom or what the or
ders of the Board may strike. 1t may
strike any of us, for no class or nation
atty seems immune. But at the newt
able must be accepted.

George w. Stevens, the war cores
pondent who died of fever in Lady
smith, was a well known writer. He
accompanied Kitchener's army to
Khartoum, and his book, with Kitch-
ener to Khartoum" had a considerable
sale here 1t gave an extremely fine
pen sketch of the Sirdar and his char
acter, besides brilliant account of the
campaign. The fate of the war cor
respondent now is the fate of the SOL
der. He frequently falls either by bull
let or disease.

THE CAT AND THE MOUSE.

The plague plays with a community
as a cat does with a mouse. 1t lulls
us into a deceitful satisfaction and
hope that the worst is over, and then
it strikes in some unexpected spot. In
December there was let up for a week
and every one breathed again, while
quarantine regulations were suspend
ed. But it swept down upon us on
Christmas eve and cases and deaths
began to crop up right through Janu-
airy the deaths raised from one to three
a day, though here and there would be
interval which would be hailed with
hope.
Then came the fire in Chinatown and
it seemed as if that had done an i'm
menseity of good Plague did not deve-
lopin the detention camps. A few spora .
die cases appeared, notably that of the
Chinaman Ng Gee on the Roth prem
ises and Emily Bisling, a native wo-
man, in a house by the pumping sta
ton at Kaimuki. The last death in
January occurred on the 2S, when AS
sagura, a Japanese, died at the deten-
ton camp. But Honolulu was free
after the death of Mrs. Bisling, Janu-
airy 26.
Forthwith the city began to count.
AS each morning and each evening pa
per came out, every one eagerly scan
ned the columns to see how the plague
went on. 1t stopped. Saturday passed,
Sunday passed, and then the week sped
on, with the same clean record. Mems
faces frightened, business frightened,
the stock exchange felt the influence
and stock values went up. 1t seemed
as if the pail Of sadness and uncertainty
which had been over us had been
rent. The efforts of the Board of
Health seemed on the point of being
crowned with success, and when Sat
urday morning came safety and i'm

Because the result in the Robertson
case was fatal, is no reason to think
that the "Pasteur Anti-pestique Sc
rum" will not check cases of plague.
Quinine will not always save a fever
patient, but it has saved very many
fever patients. AS the treatment has
been successful elsewhere we ought to
have every reason to hope that it may
be so here. From the case of Mr.. Rob
ertson it may be deduced that the
serum should be used early in the at
tack.

The life on board quarantined steam
ers is beginning to tell upon the crews.
1t is very monotonous certainly and
tantalizing to be close to the shore and
unable to land. Then the Hawaiian
crews are not accustomed to such long
spells of sea life. The run is usually
from a week to ten days and two or
three days in Honolulu. Then there is
not the life and hurry that there is
when carrying large number of passen-
gers. 1t is quite plain why the crews
are becoming disconnected.

Samoa will improve now that the tri-

German portion of the group will be
developed on German lines, Tutuila
will advance on American lines. There
will be no clash of authority and every
thing promises to run smoothly. There
may be a few descontented chiefs and
beach combers, but it is doubtful if
they will be able to make trouble.

BY not being at the Yale field Satur-
day afternoon Governor Roosevelt miss
ed some strenuousness which would
have delighted his fiery soul, even
though its net result did not please
him. The game was all football game
should be, from the Yale point of view,
and even the sympatiizers with the de-
feated couldn't fairly find any fault
with the proceedings. Everything was
fair and gentlemanly, and the game
wasn't won by accident. 1t was plain
at first that Harvard was outclassed,
and there wasn't moment in the game
when the result was doubtful. A closer
contest might have been more interest
ing, but not more satisfactory to those
whose hopes and money were on Yale.
The triumph was a fitting close to a
glorious season, and put Yale where
she ought to be, at the head of the pro-
cession. And, like the battle off San
tiago, there was glory enough in it for
trainer, managers, rooters,

WH4TCAN RE DONE


| What can be done in this country
even by member of a race whose op-
portunities are restricted by savage
prejudice, is illustrated in the career of
that famous negro Booker IT. Washing
ton. Mr.. Washington is telling some
thing about himself in the Outlook. He
was born in slavery, and after emanci-
patton his stepfather took him and his
mother across the mountains to the
coal mines of West Virginia. Here,
before there We're any free schools, the
negro colony dubbed together and hired
a man Of their own race, who had
learned to read in Ohio, to teach them.
Booker, lad under ten, could not go to
the day school because he worked in the
coal mine, but he finally arranged for
certain hours of attendance. The ne
cessity of second name first dawned
on him in this school when he heard
other boys giving the master two
ildHltS. IlG Thought HdIu Until HIS TURN
came, when he boldly christened him
self Booker Washington. The name of
wife of an army officer took the youth
into her employment and taught him
thoroughness in whatever he undertook
He did not get much money from this
work, however, and when he wanted to
attend General Armstrong; school at
Hampton he walked eight hundred
miles overland, working at Richmond
to get money for food and sleeping I'M
der a sidewalk. He reached Hampton
such disreputable looking object that
the question of rejecting him was seri-
ously considered. Finally a teacher
gave him a broom and told him to
sweep a schoolroom He knew then
that his chance had come. He swept
the room three times, found "a cloth and
busted it until when the teacher re-
turned and went over the floor and
dGSho with a. ollC AdilCu
to find a speck of dirt anywhere. The
boy was accepted as a janitor, enabled
to earn money enough for his clothes,
and finally money was found for his tu-
ition. Since then his course has been
steadily onward and upward until now
he is perhaps the most famous and USE
full man of his race.

was the aversion of the members to
having photographs taken. Jesse
James, ST., had but one picture taken,
and then the copies were distributed
only among very intimate friends. This
was for his own protection, as detec-
tiyes all over the country were looking
for him, and they were baffled time
and time again by the man whose face
was unknown to them. Mrs. James
was always afraid her picture would
get into the paper in connection with
some sensational story about her hus-
band, and she never had a photograph
taken. She never left her house with
out wearing her widows veil. She was
remarkably quiet and was given little
to conversation with any except immed-
late members of her family. With her
children she always discouraged con-
versation about their fathers wild life,
and she tried to get away from the in
fiuence surrounding the bandits ex-
ploits. While others and thoughtless
people in talking to young Jesse invest
ed the deeds of his father with a CLAM
or of romance, the quiet, faithful,
Christian mother spoke only of the
more tranquil periods Of that former
life when the bandit threw off the I'M
conqueorable spirit of restlessness for
short time and became loving faith
err and kind and indulgent husband.
The boyhood Of young Jesse was one
long struggle between good and evil in
fluences. In the world he was pointed
out on the street and as the son Of the
greatest bandit Missouri ever had. The
vicious and curious always wanted to
shake hand with him and they never
failed to speak to his father and re-
count some special deed Of his. From
until night Jesse was never
permitted to forget who or what he
was, and there was closer scrutiny of
his acts than of other boys. But when
he returned to his mother there was a
different and counteracting influence
She talked of brighter things, and read
good books to him, and he In turn read
the Bible. 1t was the mother against
the world. and the mother lived to see
her victory.-Kansas City Journal

That is cheering talk which comes
from Washington to the effect that the
United States will not be a party to
any scheme for Selling Chinese terri
it as security for a future payment Of
indemnity. 1t has been suggested that
we might seize one port, while the Euro
pean powers were scrambling for the
others, and squeeze our indemnity out
of the customs receipts there. But it
is pointed out that if the other powers
seize Chinese ports, they will probably
make clear work OF il, and leave no
opening for us, unless we are prepared
to enter fully into their combination
for the acquisition of territory. 1t may
be argued that China will have no
means of paying her debt if her revenue
from the taxation OF imports passes
wholly into the hands Of her
enemies; but there is reason
for believing that the Admins
tration would rather take the
chances of Chinas recuperation and of
her ability and desire to discharge her
obligations to the one nation which has
treated her generously, than to enter
into any partnership with European
powers in Selling and dividing terri
tory.
The United States has trouble enough
now. We don't want any broken
