HONOLULU WILL HAVE IT IN
TEN DAYS.
A Remedy That Has Record Of Saw
ing Ninety Per Cent of Plague Cases
in India.

In about ten days the Board of
Health will have on hand large guam
tity of the serum with which physicians
have successfully fought the plague in
oriental countries. 1t is serum from
the victims, and experience has shown
that it is an actual cure of plague.
Treatment of cases with this remedy
is likely to put an end to the epidemic
here IL nothing else does before the
serum is ready, as 1t has been conclu-
sively shown by the most elaborate ex-
periments that the serum is able to
counteract the effects of the terrible
disease.
AS soon as the outbreak of plague
here was recognized DR.. Hoffman, the
Board of Health bacteriologist began
| to cultivate some of the serum. This
requires some time, but is proceeding
satisfactorily, the doctor being in pos
! session of the formula for making the
remedy. 1t will be ready within ten
days and then, after the necessary ex-
periments upon animals to ascertain
that it is all right, it will be used
for patients. With it's introduction
comes a new kind of campaign against
the enemy and the proportion of fatal
tiles will drop to much smaller per-
centage, if the results obtained in other
! countries are any criterion.
In India the serum has been so sue
cessful that no less than ninety per
| cent of the cases treated have been cur
ed. The doctors there have experiment
ed with jails and hospitals until they
have shown beyond a doubt that the
remedy is able to stop the deadly work
of the plague bacillus in the human
body. When the remedy was first dis
covered, the doctors tried to make trials
with 1t by treating half Of the patients
in certain hospitals with it, and the re-
suits as compared with the number OF
fatalities among the other patients in
the same hospitals left no doubt of the
efficiencJ of the remedy. When it is
secured by the Honolulu Board o
Health, at least half of the danger from
an attack Of the dreadful oriental dis
ease that has secured a footing here
will be done away with.
The Board of Health has also sent tC
France for some of the serum, but /
cannot be said when this lot will arrive
1t is expected that the quantity beinl
made by DR.. Hoffman,-enough for
thousand cases,-will be ready befor,
the other arrives. A few days will b
required for tests with rats, and thei
people who are stricken with plague II
Honolulu will have the advantage of
remedy that can cure the disease so ia
found so nearly incurable.
1t is a mistake. however, to say tha
every case that has appeared here ha
proven fatal. The current report is t,
the effect that not a single case ha
been cured in Honolulu. but as a matte
of fact there are five convalescent pa
tents in the hospital now. All OF then
have had plague and are now on tn
road to recovery.

TOO LITTLE OF THE WHITE
METAL FOR BUSINESS.
Partly Owing to the Growth of Trade
and partly to Plaques Embargo on
Island Commerce.

There is a scarcity of silver currency
in Honolulu just now 1t has not
reached the stage of a serious difficulty
just yet, but merely of Inconvenience
in business.
The primary difficulty is attributed to
the immense increase in business dur
ing the last few years, without a COR
responding increase in the amount of
this kind of currency in circulation.
The difficulty is heightened at the pres
Cnt time by the general stOppage of
business in Chinatown, and the cutting
off of communication with the other
islands.
The Chinese merchants through the
ramiticatiOns of their business on this
island and on the other islands handle
an immense amount of silver coin. The
quarantine of Chinatown has put a stop
to all this \ great deal of silver is
used i'm the business of the other ISL
andS. There have been constant ship
ments from here with comparatively
small returns from. them for some time,
so that silver is doubtless piling up on
them in proportion as there is a search
ty of it here. With the resumption Of
! inter-island traffic, this will become
normal again.
E. l. Spalding Of Spreckels bank
| speaking of the matter said: when
| Col. Spreckels secured the mintage OF
| Il ulllllOn uOlldlS bl SILVER currency lOE
Hawaii, it was thought it was more
| than would ever be needed. But this
! has not proved to be the case. The
! growth of trade has put it all into use,
| and there is need for more. The Ha
waiian currency being worth more as
| currency here than as bullion abroad
| practically none of it goes aboard. SO
| that aside from the actual loss Of coins,
| the original mintage is all here. In
addition to that there is some American
silver money in circulation. how much
it would be hard to say. Probably an
estimate of twenty-five per cent of the
amount Of the Hawaiian coinage would
ne q high estimate. Sull we need
more. AS soon as legislation for the
! Islands Is completed by congress- the
Hawaiian silver coinage will probably
all be withdrawn and American coin
age be substituted for it. This will do
away with the small premium on gold
which operates as a check to the inn
portation Of American silver at present
and the demands of business for any
particular kind or denomination of cur
renCy will regulate the supply
Other bankers express themselves tC
| the same purpose.

JUDGE wILCOX's JOKE.
Did Not Let it Interfere With Good
Citizenship


Citizenship
a citizen writes censuring Judge Will
cox for the joke he is alleged to have
perpetrated in scattering -four about his
premises when directed by a Board Of
Health inspector to scatter lime.
In justice to Judge Wilcox it should
be stated that at the time the Inspector
made the order, Judge Wilcox Informed
him that it was impossible to get lime
the Board Of Health having bought all
there was on the market, but that he
would try and get some. This was not
satisfactory to the inspector who made
his order imperative, and not condi-
tional on possibilities. The Judge scat
tered the flour to test whether the in
spectOr was really thorough or only
consequential i'm manner, as it would
not take much thoroughness to detect
the pious fraud. AS a matter of ract
the inspector did not detect it, but ex-
pressed his satisfaction that his orders
had been obeyed.
However, Judge Wilcox did get lime
going to the Board of Health specially
for it, and did use it freely.

THE RUMOR FIENDs.
Two OF the Humorists Hit by Their
own Jokes.

Deputy Marshal Chlllngworth has
hit on plan to try and stop the prac-
tical jokers and original rumor fiends
who are starting baseless rumorS of
new plague cases to add to the diff
Culties of the present situation. He
was called up by telephone by some one
who announced that there was a case"
on Fort street near Benson Smith q co.
Suspecting that it was some one who
wanted to have him ask what kind OF
case" in order that they could an
swer "a case of gin" ,he quietly and
quickly asCertained who sent the mes
sage and that it was as he suspected.
and then sent a police officer to the
place whence the message came with
instructions to close the doors, and eX-
plain that it was done as a precautions
AIRY measure until the Board of Health
could Investigate the case" they had
reported.
A hack driver, yesterday in the same
spirit of humor told Chillingworth that
there was case of plague near Kapi-
olani park. ChillingWOrth satisfied
himself by inquiries that the hackman
was lying and simply made the state
ment to give himself Importance ana
. thereupOn reported to the Board Of
Health that this hackman, giving his
name and number, said there was a
case OF plague near Kapiolani park.
Sam Johnson Of the Board of Health
Immediately went to the hackman, and
finding from him that he had been ly-
ing, administered such good Chastise
ment with fists and feet, that that
hacltman can hardly be induced now "a
admit that he ever heard OF a case OF
plague. -, --

At las this afternoon Drs. Garvin and
Howard reported to the Board of
Health that Mrs. Hermea Franz, living
at the corner of Hotel and Punchbowl
streets, was afflicted with plague. They
had Just completed their diagnosis. The
patient was removed to the pest hospi-
tai and the premises placed under strict
quarantine. The husband of Mrs. Franz
is janitor at the drill shed of the Ma
tional Guard.
Th~re was one certain plague death at
an early hour this morning. The vic
tim was a Chinaman named Fo Sew,
aged 46, living Waikiki of Kaumaka-
pili church on the east side of Bere-
tania street. DIR. Pratt reported tr Z
case and the body was taken to The
morgue. The examining physicians
found evidences of blood poisoning from
a cut on the hand but there was also
swelling of the glands. The post NOR.
TEN revealed the bacilli of buboniC
plague and the body was Cremated.
A little later came report of a Sis
picious case in a lane off Pauahi stree
below No. engine house. DR.. Peterson
was sent to investigate. He found ma
tive girl, aged IS, suffering with fever
but with no symptoms of plague.
The wind has been too high today t.
do any burning. superintendent AhureN
Brown, who is a fire commissioner, tool

risky to fire a block in Chinatown. J

troduced Into Twelfth Census.
The federal census office has received
samples of the census blanks to be used
in taking the census on the mainland.
In the SCHEDULE for population there is
one change from the form that has al
ways heretofore been used which is due
directly to the annexation of Hawaii
and the representations of the chief
special agent of the census for Hawaii.
This is a change in the classification of
population. In the eleven censuses here
tofore taken, population has been clas-
sified by color instead of race. In the
twelfth census, as shown by the blank
schedules, the word race" has been
added to the word Color" so that the
classification will stand under the head
ing color or race" For the Hawaiian
Islands owing to the efforts of Chief
Special Agent Atkinson the classifica-
ton will be strictly by race" with no
reference to color"
