NEW FEDERAL ORDERS
THE QUARANTINE OF AUSTRALIA
PASSENGERS.
The Rule Keeping Them at Home Is
Withdrawn-Several Probably Cut
From the List.

Consul Haywood and DIR.
Carmichael, federal quarantine officer,
received new instructions on the steam
ship Gaelic regarding the course to be
taken mere in quarantine matters. The
plan already adopted by the Consul's
office was in generally in line with the
instructions received, but slight modi-
1ications were decided upon this morn
ing, in view of the advices received
Hereafter the passengers booked for
the Australia will not be required to
keep in their homes.
THE news of the plague here is TAX
en- very quietly by the authorities on
the Mainland" said the Consul General
land in view of the instructions sent
us, we thought it well to discontinue
the order to keep people in their homes.
The passengers who are booked will
have to call upon DR.. Carmichael once
every day for examination. If any dis
;rict which we now regard as health =
full should become infected as is pos
sibly the case now with the Arlington.
we shall have to prevent those who
have booked from such district from
going. If the Arlington case is really
plague, none of the people there can
hold their bookings for the coast.
Whether we shall also keep back peo-
pie from houses near by, is to be de-

of Health.
IF my personal wishes could be car -
ried out, we should have a dozen steam
ers and allow all the people who are
scared and who want to leave get
away at once. People who become
frightened only make matters worse.
Many of this class are tourists, who are
here with nothing to do but think about
the plague and get frightened about it,
and it would be really a good thing If
they could be accommodated with pass
ports"
The usual large crowd formed in line
at DR.. Carmichael's office this morn
ing. The doctor felt pulses and asked
questions and one by one the prospec-
tive passengers hurried away, hoping
that they would not find guards hnger-
ing round when they reached their
homes. The list of nearly a hundred
and fifty is already cut down several,
unless the Arlington scare proves
groundless

The Town D|STRICTED.

The Board Of Health this afternoon
established a district system of inspec-
tion of the whole city, defining forty
districts that include all the town from
Moanalua to Waialae. The proposition
was presented by a Citizens Sanitary
committee of ten members, which was
appointed to go ahead with the ar
rangements for the districting. A call
was at once made for volunteers and
many people offered their services to
the Citizens Committee.
The districts are not to be separate
ly quarantined. The inspectors will
take a complete census and make ex-
animation of every house twice a day.
No moving from one district will be
allowed.
Upon his own responsibility the Min
lister of Education has closed all the
schools in the district of Honolulu.

HEROIC MEASURE ADVISED
GENERAL EMBARGO AND GOOD
CLEANING-UP.
Business to Stop for Time and the
Whole Population Devote Itself to
Ending the Plague.

The Board of Health will meet at 3
O'Clock this afternoon to consider the
matter of quarantining the whole CITY
There was a suggestion this morning
TO make this quarantine last until
next Monday. Another idea was that
The time was not long enough, and that
1t should be kept up for ten days.
Merchants of the city are practically
unanimous in favor of a general quar-
antine. In fact, leading business
houses have today urged such a step
upon the Board of Health. They feel
that the most radical steps would be
at once taken, no matter what the sac
rifice or cost.
If such a quarantine is decided upon
this afternoon it is certain that the
Citizens Guard, or militia. will be or
dered out. Every member of the First
regiment, n. G. H, will he taken into
quarantine and there kept day and
night. In other words there will no
such thing as attending to business
during the day and standing guard at
night.
The effect of the quarantine will he
to place an embargo on public meet
ings of every sort and travel. 1t will
he maintained from block to block as
in cholera times. Under the present
suggestion business would suspend en-
tirely, only the necessaries of life be-
lns dIloWeu 10 leave the groceries and
markets.
This idea has been urged upon the
Board of Health this morning by busi-
ress men, physicians and others.
What will be done can not now be fore
told. There may be some modification
of the general idea.
IF the Board of Health wants more
inspectors to volunteer 1t will have to
provide homes for them to live in"
said well known citizen this MORN
ing, after expressing his readiness to
help the Board if his services were
wanted. 'I am ready to do duty as
an inspector or anything else but I do
not propose to go home every night
after entering infected districts. The
Roard could get many men If II would
see that they have places to live in
without exposing their families to the
danger of contagion."
The same view is expressed by many
neople. 1t has been suggested that the
BOARD secure some large building for
the use of the men who volunteer.

NO REGULARS.

A report gained currency this morn
ing that Colonel Mills had offered the
services of United States regulars at
Camp Mckinley for guard duty at the
Pail and other outside points. There
is nothing in the story" answered Col
onel Mills over the telephone. MY dis
position would be favorable to render
ing any assistance possible, but the law
forbids. Our business here is to handle
cases of violence, rebellions, riots and
the like If necessary, but We are not
permitted to take hand in anything
else"

GIVING GARBAGE AWAY.

1t has been reported to the Board Of
Health that drivers of garbage wagons
have been guilty of allowing natives
and others to select bottles and other
articles from the carts. The garbage did
not come from Chinatown. Anyhow, the
matter is regarded seriously and the
Board would be obliged to have anyone
noticing such proceeding report the
matter at once to Headquarters,

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE
sCAvENGING AND RAG PICKING
BRIGADE.
Liable to Scatter Infection-Its Dan
gers and the Remedy Pointed Out.
Public Spirited Portuguese Active.

A. V. Peters, who with other well
known members of the Portuguese col
ony, is using his best efforts to secure
observance of strict hygienic and sani-
tary measures among the Portuguese,
calls attention to the dangerous prac-
tice of many, especially children going
about town gathering UP wood, cast
off clothing and other rubbish and car
rying it to their homes.
This is a matter that everybody seec
or can see," said Mr.. Peters, "chil-ren,
boys and men and women among
the natives and Portuguese especially.
They go to rubbish heaps and gather
up wood, old clothes and shoes, ana
sometimes potatoes, onions and other
things of the sort. These are carried
to their homes, and the vegetables are
eaten. This practice can only be de-
scribed as 'scavenging, and as there
is no means of knowing where all these
things come from, or what conditions
of infection they may have been sub
jected to 1t seems a most dangerous
practice, one more likely than almost
any other to spread infection Even If
none of the things thus gathered
should actually be infected, the prac-
tice is one incompatible with thorough
cleanliness and hygienic and sanitary
measures. 1t ought to be stopped The
health and police authorities ought to
do all they can. Individuals ought to
use their influence and efforts to stop
1t. Merchants and householders whose
rubbish heaps are largely the source
OF this practice ought to prevent 1t by
destroying their rubbish heaps"
A number of public spirited Portu-
guese have Joined in the preparation
of a circular printed in Portu-
guese and circulated among the Por-
tugese, urging individual and family
sanitary measures and explaining in
clear and easily understood way
some of the means each individual and
household can use.

DEFIRs ME KAHUNA.
Big Jim in Pili1ia But viii Not Cry
"Quits."

James Kupihe, big Jim," is believed
to be the victim of the most effective
kahuna that ever made incantations
over hair or nail pairing. Big Jim is
suffering from an affection of the eyes
which the oculist says is caused by the
coal dust in the ships he has searched
for stowaways. The condition of his
eyes together with the dark glasses he
is compelled to use render him almost
blind. Getting up early in the morning
before 1t was very light and in his al
most blinded condition, he made mis-
step in leaving the veranda of the house
and fell to the ground injuring himself
severely and putting his arm in a sling
AS Jim Is charged in the District Court
with deserting his wife, his fall Is at
tributed to the work of some kahuna
employed on behalf OF the wife Jim
stoutly challenges the kahunas to do
their worst.

A MIDNIGHT CALL.
Armed Natives Looking for Sailors
Seize Henry Brewer.

Henry Brewer, who is at present liv-
ing in a cottage on John Emmeluth's s
place on Judd street, reports an eX-
rerience that bears on it's face an air of
mystery and is at least disquieting.
Early Sunday morning at 2 or
o'clock he was awakened by voices and
coming to the door to see what it was
he was seized by a band of five or six
natives all armed who claimed to be
looking for a couple of runaway sailors
and insisted at first that he was one of
them, They showed no warrant or
other legal authorization, nor did they
wear uniforms. They did their talking
partly in English and partly in HawI-
iian. After questioning him closely
they finally released him and went
away. A little later he heard loud and
excited talking In the direction of some
native houses not Gar away.

1t was only dainty little note from
woman depositor, but it caused a
gentle ripple of merriment among the
accountants and tellers of an uptown
bank. The institution caters to wom-
en,and the president has often remark
ed that the women depositors were in
some respects more careful in their
business methods than the men. A
few days ago the discovery was made
that the account of one of the women
depositors had been overdrawn a few
dollars. The usual notification in such
cases was sent to the depositor, with
the request that the account be made
good. A prompt and polite reply was
received from the delinquent. She
apologized for the overdraft, thanked
the bank officers for informing her OF
the fact so courteously-and inclosed
her check on the same bank for the
amount of the overdraft. 1t Is needless
to say that an explanatory note was
sent to this depositor reminding her
that an overdraft was not a credit to
be drawn upon.-New York CONNER

rolled down his cheeks. He was sc
glad to see Rob alive that he even
overlooked his statement about Lemuel
Starne.
Il have important news for you, -
said Rob. Il want to see Aunt Anita
and Cousin Elsie, then 1 want to tell
you something"
The earnest air Of the young fellow
impressed Mr.. Horton, and he led the
way to the dining room. The in
spector, readily seeing that there was
nothing for him to do there, had the
grace to depart.
Rob was greeted with overwhelming
caresses by his aunt and cousin, who
had eXpected-before they heard he
was drowned-to see childish boy,
over whom it would be necessary to
keep a constant watch. Here was a
manly young fellow come to them aft
er strange adventures-not to be
watched over. but to save them and
the government.
Rob soon told his story, and his I'M
Gle hurried him off to see the president.
Rob soon told his experience, and
was listened to with great eagerness.
An officer in uniform was called in,
and the story was told to him.
Rob went home with his uncle, and
they sat up late that night listening to
his recital, over and over again, of his
adventures with Starne and Elvin,
and on board the BLACK Cat"
What panied them most was to learn
they had trusted, and who had almost
succeeded in winning the regard of
Elsie, was such a villain.
Rob told his uncle of the promise he
had made to the crew of the BLACK
Cat" and Mr.. Horton assured him that
it would be substantiated by the presi-
dent.
There was little need of proceeding
to any extent to identify Rob. for Mr..
Horton recognized him from the photo
graph sent from New York. And il
any further Identification should prove
necessary, there was time enough for
that in the future.
Mr.. Horton had taken all Rob's
things from the Royal Mail" and he
was soon clad in a trim New York
outfit. AS he was taking leave of the
now soiled Spanish jacket he felt in

Boiling Our Food.

There is undoubtedly a great deal to
be said in favor of the opinion that a
considerable portion of the illness in
this country is caused by the unpleas-
ant habit of eating too rapidly. OF
coure we all know, and have at times
very painful experience of, the fact
that this is high-pressure age, and
all is done at express speed, but this
surely ought not to be the case with
our meals. 1t is interesting, but not
pretty, to watch the business man
when he goes into restaurant for his
luncheon. 1t is with him looked upon
in the light of a duty and not
pleasure. He must eat, and he feels
that he has only a few minutes to de-
vote to the operation, so that he may
be back at his Office with all possible
speed. He attacks his food savagely,
gulps down his beer or wine, and when
the last sad rites are over he pays and
bolts-in fact, it is case Of boiling
from beginning to end. Every doctor
will tell you that people should eat
slowly, and occupy the time pleasantly
with conversation. In this way we
shall live longer and enjoy better
health and greater ability to cope with
the world.

justice, and the stores in the cave at
Black Cat bay were seized Richard
Elvin was shot and Lemuel died OF his
wound.
Not only was Rob received with en-
thusiasm by his uncle, aunt and cous'
in, but he was the hero of Buenos
,Ayres. The president gave him gold
medal, on which was the date and ths
story of the valuable services Rob hac
rendered the government The BLACK
Cat" was now the property of the gov
eminent, and the president used his
influence, and this was also given tc
Rob. 1t was very handsome littli
schooner, none too large for yacht
and Mr. Horton accepted it for Rob
and at once placed q reliable crew
on it.
Many a good sail has Rob had on
that Schooner since that day, and
many a stirring adventure has he had
while off on business for Mr., Horton.
Mr.. Horton is delighted with Robs
quickness in grasping the details of his
large business enterprises, and there
is no doubt that if Rob lives, he will
be not only true, brave man, but Q
rich one as well.

Ancient Coffee Houses,
(The end.)

The coffee house is every night
crowded with men of parts, says the
Connoisseur. Almost every one you
meet is a polite scholar and a wit.
Jokes and bonmots are echoed from
box to box; every branch of nature is
critically examined and the merit OF
every production of the press or per-
Torrance at the theaters weighed and
determined. This school-to which |
am myself indebted for great part OF
my education, and in which, though
unworthy, | am now arrived at the
honor Of being public lecturer-has
bred up many authors, to the amazing
entertainment and instruction of their
readers. Buttons, the grand archetype
of the Bedford, was frequented by Ad-
olson, Steele Pope and the rest of that
celebrated set who flourished at the
beginning of this century and was re-
garded with just Difference on account
of the real geniuses who frequented
it. But we can now boast men of SUI
perior abilities-men who, without any
one acquired excellence, by the mere
dint of happy assurance, can exact
the same tribute of generation and re-
ceive it as due to the illustrious char
acters, the scribblers, layers, fiddlers,
the company at the Bedford.
