BUILDINGS IN BLOCK -
LOVE BLOCK TO BE SET OFF BY
RAT FENCE
Occupants Moved out for the Present.
Club Stables Arrangements-Plan
of Other People

Fencing in Of the block behind the
old Pantheon has brought about no end
of Inconvenience to business people IN
it. The cub stables and Ed. A. VIII
liams have been forced to move out
hastily. Gonsalves, the photographer,
has moved most Of his pictures home.
Lum Sing, the grocer, will go out Of
business for the present
on the upper floor of the Love block
are the Bank Studio, Scottish Thistle
club, Wall Bros, Hawaiian Trading
Company, Prof. Cook DR.. Scaparone,
DR.. Lucas and John Egan, nearly all
OF whom have moved and are seeking
temporary offices elsewhere. The Wall
brothers, dentists, have moved to the
Day block in Beretania street.
Down stairs i'm the same building are
Thomas Lindsay, jeweler; Dairymen's
Association, Mrs. Napthaly milliner;
H. H. Williams, undertaken. Lindsay
and Mrs. Napthaly have moved to their
respective homes. The Dairymen's AS
ISOLATION has bought out Turner &
Hawkins and moved to the old Van
Dorm premises on lower Fort street
Williams will let his furniture remain
where it is to be fumigated.
His hearses and teams have been
taken to the American stables near the
corner of Merchant and Richards where
they are temporarily quartered
Contractor Russell will build the fence
around the rear of the Love block
After the stores have been fumigated
and it is shown that there is no danger
of rats getting into them from the rear
the block will undoubtedly be permit
ted to open its front. 1t is one of the
most sanitary buildings in the country
and is so constructed that it can easily
be made absolutely rat proof.
The Club Stables Company is erecting
a temporary structure on the Bowler
lot at the corner of Richards and Mer-
chant streets for its horses. The ami
mails will be moved there this after
noon. All tho rigs will be left on the
upper floor of the stables for fumiga-
tion.

NEW RAT KILLER.

Mr. Thurston has a new rat poison
ing scheme. 1t was presented by him
and Mr.. BaIlou to the Board Of Health
this morning and adopted. 1t differs
from the former project in that the
poison will be secreted in paste in a
small bowl on a piece of wood, in place
of in meat as at first suggested. Ben
son, Smith & Company agree to make
the paste attractive to the terrible ro-
dent and the poison powerful enough
to kill him.
Small blocks of wood will be used.
The bowl in the tops of these blocks will
be quite small and the quantity OF
paste enough for few rats only. 1t
will take 10000 of these blocks to fill
the bill. This will be six cords of wood.
AS before it is purposed to set apart
a certain day upon which the inspec-
tors will distribute the little blocks be-
meath every house in the city. Next
day will be given to burying dead rats.
At the meeting of the Board of Health
this morning it was decided to prohibit
in a positive way trespassing upon In
fected premises or premises that have
been burned on account of plague. This
action was necessitated by the frequent
trespassing of persons with passes up
on the ashes of burned Chinatown. A
fine Of 800 goes with the order and
arrests may begin from today.

HATS AND OTHER THINGS
Wings and Ermine Tails the Latest
Smart Garniture.

Wings and Ermine Tails the Latest
smart Garniture.
Among the many modish black hats
land they are to be the smart wear all
winter those made of black taffeta
shirred and corded are simply charm
ing. You may have dressy ones with q
big rose of any color covering the
crown and the taffeta of the brim soft
ened with tulle, while for forenoon

big bows across the front and buckle
for ornament.
Milliners are becoming large buyers
Of the choicest furs, for they are TO
have another season of fur trimmed
hats. AS hat crowns and hat brims
ire very much larger than formerly 1t
takes many more skins to cover them,
and correspondingly higher prices are
asked. But how exquisite is the COM
bination of lace, mOusseline and Grape
with sable, mink, chenille and ermlnel
The --latest cry In smart millinery is
to have hat facings of wings and of err
mine tails. The wings show to a charm
where the brim is wide with a slight
upward curve, and they produce
charming lines also IN their slight over
hpping. Besides combining pure white
with soft grays in the natural state
there are touches of pale rose and 9TH
er tints introduced by dyes which beau
tify the face by a rare becomlugness
In feather sOftness.
Wings are employed also as collar
and front facings to superb opera
cloaks Of velvet, panne velours and
gold brocades.
The hat crown which gives the great
est cachet to a hat is on the melon or
der or, to be politically suggestive, re-
sembles the shape OF -mandarin's cap.
These crowns are small and belong to
the fat bats exclusively, which are all

Long, narrow breasts OF game bird
feathers ending in long. stiff wing
feathers trim upturned hat brims
charmingIy. These are the correct bats
for tailor made suits. The hat itself
may be OF velvet. Big draped crowns
of tucked cloth to match various suits
are also among the new winter fea-
lures of millinery. stiff broad quilts
pureed through the cloth answering for
