Pure air and pure water are essential
to healthtul human existence: and i'm
pure air and impure water have no
doubt caused more deaths than all the
wars of Christendom. To-day untold
wells are dealing out insidious poison,
and lily ventilated and over crowded
school rooms are undermining the
health Of thousands upon thousands of
our young people. In this connection
the following article from the Boston
Herald on the water supply of Chicago
will be read with interest
Chicago people are congratuating
themselves on the sanitary change
wrought III their water supply by the
canal which causes the Chicago river to
drain into the Mississippi instead of
into Lake Michigan, from which the
eity's water supply is taken. Two large
street sewers which formerly discharg-
ed into the lake were diverted to the
river III June, 1898. In nine months
there was an improvement OF 50 per
cent. in the sanitary quality Of the
water at the cribs in the lake where the
supply is taken At one crib the per-
centage of pure water taken was reck-
once as low as 26 in October 1898; in a
year it was rated at 90 and now it is
declared to be 100, or absolutely pure.
The reduction in the number of deaths
from typhoid fever in the city in 1000
was III the first year "A per cent, and in
the next year Ola per cent. The total
death rate of the city last month was
LOG, which is the lowest October death
rate i'll ten years, the average having
been 1.2l. This improvement in the
city's health, which is expected to make
a still better showing when other inter
ceptlng sewers are completed, is ac-
counted profitable result of the ex-
pendlture Of $4,000, 900 that has been
required, if there were no other advan-

RORRERY NEAR HILO.

HILO, December 15-Peter Dorian,
who has charge of the Olaa Sugar
Company's stables at nine miles, is
loser by about $500 through burglary.
When Mr.. Dorian returned to his room
after supper Monday night he found
the door broken in, his trunk broken

examination he found that upwards of
$500 in gold and silver had been taken
but the sugar cOmpanys drafts and
his watch and chain had been left be-
hind. Complaint was made to Officer
Kelley who notified Captain Hitchcock

tion. On Tuesday morning a Portu-
guese was arrested on suspicion and
later in the afternoon another Portu-
guese was taken into custody. Both
men were brought to Hilo and locked
up. One of them was convicted at the

ing an iron bar through a window of
a dwelling. He was sentenced to i'm

BROWN FOR washington
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC LANDS
BY THE ALAMEDA.
Goes to Furnish the Departments Any
Information Regarding Public Lands
That May be Asked For

Commissioner of Public Lands, jacob
X. Brown leaves by the Alan eda tor
Washington.
81 am going" he said today, ito fur
nish any information that may lie asked
for by the departments concerning any
questions regarding the public l6rds of
the territory, that have arisen, or may
arise while / am there.
"Of course information has been given
whenever asked for, and in the regular
procedure of reports. But it is dihcultf
and slow at the distance of 5000 miles
to give that minute and detailed in
formation that heads of departments
like when dealing with important mat
ters. l go to present such facts as ask

1 can that is desired. 1t is the subject
itself, rather than any particular ques-
tion arising just at this time which
takes me to Washington. The length
of my stay will depend on clrcum-
stances However l hope to be back in
about six weeks"
The subject of the public lands of the
territory may be the subject of legis-
lation at this session of congress.
Whatever turn tnat legislation takes
will doubtless be much influenced by
the reports on the subject made to
Congress by the department of the in
terror, of which the United States Land
office is a bureau. 1t is to give any in

The subject of the crown lands. little

THE BEACH RDBBERIES
MONEY AND VALUABLES STOLEN
FROM BATHERS.
Manager McGinnis Sets Trap at the
Hotel Annex and Harvey Chiffon is
Arrested.

Harvey Chiffon, boy about fifteen
years Of age, is under arrest, charged
with having stolen So: 80 from bather
at the hotel Annex, Waikiki. yesterday
and according to manager McGinnis
the case against him is very strong
one. The youth is also suspected of
having committed other robberies at
the annex, where for some months
bathers have been constantly complain
ing of the loss of cash and valuables.
Yesterday Mr.. McGinnis set trap
marking some coins and placing them
in the pockets of bather whose clothes
were hanging in one of the rooms. He
says that he saw young Chiffon take
the money, and afterwords found the
marked coins in his possession.
For some time past" said Mr.. Nc
Ginnis this morning, Il have been re-
ceiving complaints from bathers who
were victims of thefts. Some months
ago several people lost their valuables
that were left in charge of the office,
because the box tag which they left
in their clothes was stolen and pre-
sented by someone else. Since then I
put new system in effect. In addition
IN giving tags we take the signature of
every bather On presentation of the
number tag another signature is taken
for comparison. This prevents anyone
from getting what is left with the office
except the right parties. Some bathers
ledNS NdludDleS III tnelr clothes, now
ever.
"A week ago yesterday pin and

cided to watch. after one bather had

| one of the bathers. Soon I saw young
! Chiffon going about from room to room
! saw him place his hand in the pockets
where my marked money was and take
it out and | myself took the money
away from him"
Young Chiffon was taken to the police
station and this morning McGinnis
swore to a warrant charging him with
embeZZlement. The manager says that
| Chiffon has been a bather before and it
| is the opinion of some that he was
| guilty in other cases. The young man
Will appear in the police court tomor-
| row.
