mot ONLY THE MONGOOSE
DIR. EMERSON PLANS TO DESTROY
RATS.
The Fence Is the Leading Idea In Hisc
Method of Destruction; the MongoOsG
Is Incidental.

Editor Star: In The Star of the 20Eh
inst. 1 am imperfectly, and therefore
incorrectly, reported as suggesting the
employment of the mongeose in the
destruction of rodents in Honolulu. Ny
whole proposition was to surround one
block after another with a rat-prOof
fence, and then proceed to eXterminate
the rodents in the enclosed section by
the best means that were available. BY
the use of poison, cats, dogs, or the
mOngoose. Several of these methods
might be used in conjunction at the
same time. After a section had been
dealt with it might still be necessary
to maintain the enclosing fence in posi-
tion in order to keep it from being re-
stocked by a fresh invasion of the
plague distributing pest. The distinc-
tive feature of this plan is the use of
the fence. AS to the manner of killing
the rats, when once enclosed, that is a
matter that might be modified accord
ing to circumstances, always providing
that no unsafe methods were adopted.
l have as lively an appreciation as any
cne of the dangers that might arise
from permitting mongoose, or cats, or
! dogs, to be used in catching that un-
sanitary little beast, the rat, and 1 GER
tainly would not advise the general use
of them, or the use of them at ALL save
under certain careful and stringent
probably continue to be our best reli-
ance for capturing and destroying the
rat; unless indeed it were possible to
| obtain the services of one of those my
| thical, hypnotising, rat-catchers.
Fencing will be an expensive method;
| but if, as we have reason to believe,
the rat is the principal offender in the
matter of plague distribution, and if
| this method is found to be feasible and
has in it the promise of success, which
no other method has yet attained, the
question of expense should not stand in
the way of it's adoption.
There is still a leak in the methods
employed for the determination of the
plague-bacillus. Exactly what, or
where, no one can positively say; it is
/ left to conjecture and reason to detect.
There are strong grounds for think
ing that when the rat has been dis
posed of the chief difficulty in dealing
with the plague germ will have been
removed.
1t will be greatly to the credit of this
little republic if she for the first time
succeeds in the effort to rid a commun-
ity of the plague-bacillus when other
countries and other communities have
:, time after time failed in the effort and
given It, up as an impossible undertake
ing.

WOMAN NOT IN DISTRESS
REPUTED INDECENT HAS AMPLE
FUNDS.
Hawaiian Relief Society Looks For a
Pauper On Kual1ini Street and Finds
a Wealthy Person.

Mrs. George c. Beckley, acting for
the Hawaiian Relief Society, has in
vestigated the report of sanitary in
spector that very old native woman
on 4Auakini street was in needy cir
cumstances and has found out that the
inspector was unwittingly mislead in
the matter The woman's name is
Pauelua Waioloe. She is close on to 100
years of age.
II have found" reports Mrs Beckley,
that the woman is not only not in poor
circumstances, but is what we are ac-
customed to term a well-to-do Hawaii
an. She came from Kamaili, Puma,
and has valuable property here in
Honolulu. A short time ago she sold a
lot for $2,500, and now has this money.
She is at present living with her grand
nephew, and is comfortably provided
for.
when I visited the place 1 quizzed
the old woman very closely on how
she was situated. She said she had
come down just before the plague broke
ont to see her relatives, and was held
by the quarantine. AS for money, she
had plenty of it, and was provided with
everything in the world she required.
Il can readily understand the mis-
take of the inspector, and he is not to
be criticised. AS 1 found, he entered
the room suddenly when the old woman
was partly undressed. She crouched in
the corner, and this gave him the i'm
preston that she was neglected and
suffering. Not being able to talk ma
tive, he could not find out the real
facts"
Mrs, Beckley reports that all of the
Hawaiians from the relief camps ex-
cept about fifteen, who are old and
diseased, are now working, and have
been stricken from the relief lists of the
society. The society is still following
them up, however, and taking charge
of any that may meet with misfortune

DIR. HOFFMAN,.
Has Gone to Kalihi for a Few Days
Rest.

DR.. Hoffman, has been granted a
few days leave of absence by Presi-
dent Wood, and this afternoon he and
Mrs. Hoffman, go to Kalihi to spend
the vacation thus given.
DR.. Hoffman, did not take the pro-
phylactic as has been reported. He
has twice taken the curative serum
the last time last Sunday and the first
time about ten days before. He does
rot attribute his illness to this how
ever, but to overwork and the nervous
strain which he has been under. How
ever his illness was not of a serious
nature, simply a little fever which
might follow any severe fatigue.

HOW 10 SAVE DOCTOR BIIl.s.

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
bottle open all the time and when
ever any of my family or myself begin
to catch cold we begin to use the Cough
Remedy, and as result we never have
to send away for a doctor and incur a
large doctor bill, for Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It
is certainly a medicine of great merit
and worth.-D. S. Mearkle, General

FOR An EATING HOUSE
Rock Island Plans to Establish
One at Wichita Depot.
TO START IN DECEMBER
Mr. Frank Stewart viii Have
Entire Supervision.

AS a result Of a conference here yes
terday between Mr.. Frank Stewart who
has charge Of the eating houses and din
ing car service Of the Rock Island, anl
BIr E. Drake, passenger agent Of the
Rock Island in this city. an eating houss
viii be established at the Rock Island
depot and all trains where the time is
convenient will slap here to allow the
passengers to secure meals.
The starting Of the new enterprise in
this city by the Rock Island viii he
about the middle Of December and the
plans are already being formed for the
event. Previous to this time the Rock
Island people viii maintain an eating
house at Caldwell and after the one is
established IN tAis city the house at
Caldwell viii be discontinued. with the
exception Of the lunch counter.
At forme rhine there was an eating
house IN the depot here and all equip
ment was in splendid order. After a
time it was taken out and the fixtures
were removed and the house shut down.
The kitchen IS still arranged, however, as
it was formerly and the dining room viii
be the south waiting room Of the deot
which is now not used by the Rock Isl
and people.
This plan would give ample room fo1
the arrangement Of the tables, etc, and
the rooms would have neat appearance
besides. Every attention would be paid
to the table and as a usual thing the
depot eating houses have a better selec-
ton for the travellers than some so-called
first-class hotels.
The house here viii be under the su-
pervision Of Mr.. Stewart, who has re-
Gently taken charge Of this department
For some time he has had charge Of the
dining cars on the Rock Island and hav-
made such a success Of that department
the latter was also turned over to him.
Mr. Drake in speaking about the mat
ter yesterday to a reporter for the Eagle
yesterday said: 1.-THE plans are already
being made for this change and Wichita
viii have an up to date eating house.
Mr.. Stewart will have supervision over
it and as ne has made such q success
with the dining car service the eating
house proposition for the Rock Island
win not be a failure.
There is no reason why the railroad
eating house should not serve the people
as well as any nrst-ciass hotel and IN
this respect we expect to have one Of
the best eating houses over the entire
system right here in Wichita"

SEWERAGE DISPOSAL ABROAD.


W. J. Hunt, Of Newark, president Of
the New Jersey Sewage Commission.
has just returned home after three
months travel in Europe. where he
studied various methods Of disposine
Of sewage. He found little OF interest
in Germany in this field. but the sew
age disposal farms OF Paris were high
ly interesting. The so-called farms are
established on land which Is ownad BY
the government. The sewage Is con-
Quoted to them In great trunk sewers
and spread upon a soil thoroughly
adapted for such purposes. The matter
Of sewage disposal Is agitatIng all the
cities Of the British Isles, while in
London special commission has been
appointed to consider ways and means
for preventing the further pollution OF
the Thames. The great increase in the
population Of cities and the consequent
increasing danger OF pollution Of water
supplies are bringing the sewage prob
lem to the front everywhere. As III
ters for water supplies viii soon be
established in all large cities, SO win
scientific means Of dIsposing Of sewage
be everywhere adopted. The method OF
dumping sewage into streams answered
very well when the communities were
few and far between. but with the
settlement Of the country this has be-
come an abominable practice.
