Honolulu.
Over Eleven Hundred Dollars Con-
tributed From Hilo for

ne town of Hilo has responded to
the want of the Hawaiian sufferers of
the Chinatown fire and sends both
money and clothing to them. Better
than all Hilo adds the deep sympathy
of her people. Substantial dollars and
many of them too, old clothes and the
material for making hundreds of new
garments for Hawaiian men, women
and children are coming from the big
island to relieve the refugees of Ho-
nolulu.
Nearly twelve hundred dollars, three
hundred finished garments, made by
ladies representative of all national
tiles, hundred or more ready made
garments and numerous other neces-
among the things to be sent here. Mrs.

Effects of Fumigations.

At this fumigation DIR. Hoffman,
took the opportunity of testing it's eff
fectiveness. had asked him some time
before to take and make a test of the
effectiveness of our fumigations which
were being done from time to time.
The rooms were closed and sealed in
the usual way, and DR.. Hoffman, put in
his test tubes. Some of the tubes were
open, some loosely closed with absorb
ent cotton and some closed as the tubes
are for sterilization. In the open tubes,
and in the tubes in which the cotton
was loosely packed, the bacilli were
killed, but those in which the cotton
was tightly packed were not affected
| "The result of this test Is, that we
cannot say that our fumigation has
| been thoroughly effective; and we can
not say that the infection has been
| destroyed by the fumigatiOn In the
other rooms. In every locality where
| the infection has been, we have been In
the habit of closing in and fencing of
lose localities, thus preventing the
use of the ground on which the build
| ings have stood. Now. if we simply
| tear down and DESTROY the room which
| we know to be infected or only par
| Of the premises, it would be very
difficult matter to let the rest of this
tenement house be occupied and a
the same time have that part of the
house which we know to be infected
fenced off, Therefore having already
condemned a part of this building.

this matter, and if necessary, con

Mr.. Smith again brought up the
question OF destroying perishable
freight on the wharf, stating that he
had introduced resolution to this
effect on February End. He was in
formed that certain broken cases OF
eggs packed in loan, or charcoal. had
been destroyed; others had been de-
livered to certain consignees in Homo
'ulu. The Surgeon General of the Unit
ed States Marine Hospital Service had
ordered his surgeons to destroy these
eggs wherever found.
Moved and seconded, that all eggs
from Oriental ports, packed in loan
or charcoal, be at once destroyed. Car
ried.
Mr.. Lowrey asked that Mr.. Hons be
instructed to make report to the
Board in regard to shipments of freight
to Kahului. which may possibly have
carried the infection there. in order
to assist the special committee of the
Board appointed to look into such mat
ters.
A motion to reconsider the action OF
the Board taken last week, with refer
ence to the destruction of the buildings
on South and Kawaiahao streets
known as the Weaver building, was in
troauced and carried.
President Wood spoke of the reasons
for reconsEdering the Boards action in
| the following language.
Weaver Building Condemned.
ct seems to me that we have goot
reason to believe we have the better o
the epidemic in Honolulu Certainl!
the center Of the infection has been de
stroyed and cases now occur only at in
tervals. The fact that no fresh center
of infection have been started and onl.
isolated cases are occurring away from
| the infected district, makes me believ
that we have the upper hand of tn
| epidemic.
| I'm regard to this Weaver buildin;
/ do not think we should take an,
chances. 1t seems to me that we ar
taking chances in saving a portion o
the building. This is a tenement house
the people inhabiting it, consisting O
mixed nationalities. using one common
yard and one common battery at tn
back of the building, and they undoubt
eddy have visited and intermingle
with one another. Therefore, KNOWN
that one part of the building is infected
we cannot say positively that som
other parts of the building are not in
fected, or that the whole building is no
infected. When the inmates of thi
building were taken away the create
part of their personal effects were LEI
behind. These were All fumigated wit

civilized world. Your mothers and
rrandmothers never thought Of using
ANYTHING else for Indigestion or Rilious-

seldom heard Of Appendicitis. Nervous

They used August Flower to clean out

One thing should be understood and
