TO BE PROUD OF.

The organizing power of some of our
citizens has been well displayed during
the past forty-eight hours. When one
considers what chaotic mass was sud-
denly shot out of Chinatown, and
thrown upon the hands of the citizens
to provide for and guard, the results
are really wonderful.
OF course at the very first outset
there was confusion, but by night fall
order had come out of chaos. And bv
yesterday afternoon everything was in
good working order. To have brought
about this condition of affairs so quick
ly argues two things, executive abilit '
and ready means at hand to carry ont
things quickly Moreover there were
fortunately abundant stores to draw
upon.
Perhaps the most striking thing about
the camps is the extreme gaiety of the
people. They are by no means depress-
ed and sullen. Many of them have lost
their all, the savings of a life time,
others have no immediate prospect of
returning to congenial employment.
~ "Hi nave " TAKE what work they
can find. Women have lost all theil
clothes and are now clad in garments
Of foreign cut. Some are near to child
birth, others have just brought forth
children, and yet all seem light heart
cd and merry. There is a hum of con-
Versation, and every here and there
ripping laugh. The women are busy
about little tasks, the men are smol:
ing and chatting. 1t is a busy scene,
Il very Kaleidoscope of movement and
sound, but 1t is not a sad scene in these
camps, 1t is rather an inspiring one,
making one feel proud that there ara
men and women in our midst who can
work well and to such good purpose

SCAVENGERS.

Complaint about the Portuguese gar
bage collectors comes from another
source. w, E. Lee who lives at 80 Beach
Road, says there is a large rubbish pile
and garbage dump close to his resi-
dence, and this is a rendezvous for all
The little garbage fiends from Punch
bowl and the vicinity. These children
gather up the flthiest rags, rotten fruit
and vegetables and bear them off to
Punchbowl.
The same complaint has been made
by A. V. Peters and others of the SEN
sible Portuguese who are striving to
keep the district in which they live
clean, but who cannot make Roadway
against tbs constant stream of rubbish
which is borne into the district. The
matter has been brought to the notice
of the Board of Health, but no steps
have been taken.
1t seems absurd that a regulation in
this direction cannot be made and the
practice stopped. If the Board of
Health through it's officers can make
man clean up his premises and put
them in good sanitary condition, it can
likewise prevent his children from car
rying garbage and possibly infected
rags through the streets. All that is
required is an order prohibiting the
children from so doing. If the order
were promulgated and the police ana
inspectors instructed to prevent the
custom, it would quickly cease.

The Boer war news is all rumor and
guess work apparently. Nobody seems
to know what Butler is doing, and
Methuen and Gatacre have made no
change. There is however report that
Butler has made supreme attempt
and been defeated, but it lacks con-
firmation. On the other hand the state
ment is made that Butler has crossed
the Tugela and that there is an ad-
vance on Ladysmith. 1t is very diff
cult in these contradictory rumors to
form any accurate idea of the situa-
ton. To Judge by analogy both sides
seem to be lying.

1t seems as if there are going to be
some strange developments with re-

gram the rebellion broke out. OF course
there was nothing criminal in paying

adverse circumstances, care has been
banshed from the minds Of these peo-
pie who are suffering severe misfor-
tune, and in its place there has been
given healthy and pleasant cheerful
ness.
One special thing to be noted about
the camps is the sanitary system in
vogue. When having to herd many
people together, this is of paramount
Importance. In this direction nothing
seems to have been left undone, and
the speed with which these excellent
arrangements have been made deserves
high commentator.
The Duke Of wellington said SOL
der marched on his belly, and he was
therefore most careful of his commits
sariat. The heads of the various camps
have realized that the seat of content
ment under adversely is in the stom-
ach, that people who are hungry will
be sullen and logged, while people
who have full stomachs are contented
and happy 1t is in the cooking ar
engagements at the various camps that
the key to the universal good humor is
found.
Great care has been taken to pre-
pare food suitable to each nationality.
There are Hawaiian rations and Ha-
waiian cooks; Japanese rations and
Japanese cooks; Chinese rations and
Chinese cooks. over each division are
superintendent, everything is clean
and the food is properly prepared ac-
Cording to the methods in vogue of
each national taste. Besides these
there is food to be prepared for the
American and European guards.
| The work is arduous in the extreme
and the gentlemen in charge of the
various camps have done their duty
nobly. But not only have the men
worked, but Honolulus womanhood
has come forward grandly, and some
of the most prominent of our ladies will

1t is inspiring to see such energy anC
such feeling displayed. It makes one
believe in the excellence of human ma
ture. 1t may be coated over with fri
volity, with business cares, with ap
parent selfshness, with fads of various
