AWAKEN.

The Board of Health understands the
situation in the Honolulu district, but
it is almost absolutely ignorant of the
situation upon the other Islands. It is
doubtful whether it even knows the
number of deaths in any given district
for any given month. 1t is certain that
it does not voluntarily publish them,
nor is it in a position to give an answer
upon the point when a question is put.
To tell the truth the Board of Health
thinks of Honolulu, and, in the past
has thought mighty poorly of that,
though it is active enough now.
Can any member of the Board of
Health tell The Star or any one else,
authoritatively how many people have
ben born or have died in the distCict
of Makawao or the District of Puma,
or the District of Hanalei? They absO-
lutely can't, They don't know the act
ual number OF deaths, much less the
causes of those deaths, and yet, year
after year gentlemen have Joined the
/
sponsibilities. One cannot blame them
personally, they merely followed pre-
cedent If others did that way, why
should not they?
Take for example the following sec
ton $50 of the Health Law:
Each Registrar shall enter in said
record, in respect of each birth occur
ring in his district, the following facts,
so far as they can be ascertained by
| him, viz:
"The name of the father, the name Of
the mother the date of the birth, the
sex of the child, the name of the child,
, if it has been named, the locality of It's
/ birth and whether the child is legiti-
mate or illegitimate?
! Section 957 says: Each Registrar
shall enter in said record in respect of
each death occurring in his district, the
following facts, so far as they can be
ascertained by him, viz:
The name, sex, age, cause of death,
nationality, last place of residence, and
the locality of the death of the de-
ceased, name of physician attending, if
any"
The meaning of this is plain enough
and the fact that it is, and has been,
impossible to get any accurate Stats
tics upon either of these points as re-
CARDS the Islands is a very serious COM
mentary upon shipshod methods, which
have prevailed, and which continue to
prevail to the manifest detriment of
the Islands.
No one wants to hamper the Board
at the present time. 1t must have hon
est and heartfelt support. But if, out
of this crisis, it can formulate some
better mode of procedure, some certain
ty that records must be accurately kept
and that there will not be the almost
criminal laxity of the past why the
public will be thoroughly satisfied and
some permanent good will have been
secured in this direction.

The energy shown by DR.. Wood since
he became President of the Board of
Health is highly commendable. He has
a thorough grasp of all details, but
does not waste his own energy in try
ing to carry them out himself The
fight against the plague, under his di-
rection, is a determined one and most
sweeping and radical measures are be-
ing instituted. DIR. Wood is thoroughly
realizing the hopes that were centered
in him.

The quarantine is bearing very heav-
lily upon both wholesale and retail deal
ers and upon the community at large,
1t is not to be wondered at that there
is a strong undercurrent of discomfort
among not only the Asiatic portion of
the community but in other quarters
as well. But stringent and burdensome
as the regulations are, they must be
endured, and to endure without MUIR
muir is the best that can be done. If
we can kill the plague it will be worth
millions to the country at large.

HELP FOR THE NEEDY.

The Executive Council and a number
of prominent citizens met yesterday
afternoon to see what can be done with
regard to those people who have been
removed from their homes to the de-
tention camps, and who, when their
period of quarantine is up, must have
some kind of employment to keep them
from becoming a burden upon the COM
munity. The seriousness Of the situa-
tion was recognized and a committee of

The question of the appropriation bill
for the ensuing period is a serious one,
and there is no wonder that so many
people take an active interest in It,.
What the Cabinet should learn from
Washington is whether the interpreta-
ton taken by the members is correct.
This ought to be obtainable in two
weeks or little over, because a full
message might easily be telegraphed to
washington to find out.

Quarantine bears hardly upon us,
and there are some that complain, but
a wall indeed comes from Japan where
apparently the authorities are by no
means as careful as our own. If the
statements about the examinations Of
people are true, it is no wonder that
plague spreads in Japan.

A description of "Nortons Rough
Riders" which appears in today's issue
will make the public understand what
the volunteer force of guards is doing
and of what kind of material it is COM
posed. 1t is no easy task that these
young men have undertaken and many
of them do the work at considerable
personal sacrifice.

Competition is the life of trade. There
is a prospect of a new ice concern start
ing up and ice will be considerably
cheaper for a while at least. There has
been competition before, but it has end
ed in amalgamation. How the new ven
ture will get along remains to be seen.

devilish work in times past. so Mo-
Rarity becomes the conspirator to
down Holmes for nothing but sweet
revenge's sake. and is utterly defeated
in every stragetic move. At the first
meeting of Holmes and Alice, in the
drawing room, by his wondrous skill,
finds this package. but falls in love with
the young lady and returns it to her.
He makes sure, however, that it is
safe in her keeping. A counterfeit
packages has been made by the conspir-
ators and this is sold to Holmes, who
delivers it to his clients. The counter
fesance of the package is at once dis
covered by them and they demand an
explanation. The detective can only
admit that he has lost in the game. At
this point, Alice, who has fallen in love
with Holmes, comes to the rescue and
by giving the true package to Holmes,
saves his reputation. Right here
one of the prettiest love-scenes ever
produced upon the stage is enacted be-
tween these two, that is better seen
than described, which ends the play
The company is an exceptionally
strong one, and was many times warm
ly applauded.

Theatrical
News Notes

There is nothing better than a good
play to theatre goers, and to the play
ers there is nothing better than good
attendance from financial standpoint,
and an appreciative audience from
critical standpoint. Ia the presenta-
ton. of Sherlock Holiness" at the
Grand, Friday night, all these three
combined to make the evening long to
be remembered.
AS everybody knows, sherlock
Eolmes'' is full Of surprises in his in
teresting novels, and the audience ex-
pected many surprising climaxes, but
they were not looking for the whole
house to be thrown into complete dark
cess to begin with. But it was all done
for scenic effect and was thrilling and
hair raising. This darkening OF the
house was continued, ut the commence
ing and closing of every act and scene,
throughout the entire performance.
When the curtain raised and the
tights thrown on the first act, the scene
represents the drawing room in the
residence OF Mr.. James Larrabee and
his wife, Madge, a pair of adventures
While at Hamburg this couple have
met Alice Faulkner, whose sister be
came the victim of man of roya
blood. and who, on her death bed, givei
to Alice certain letters and photo
graphs that will convict the betrayer
who is near the eve of his marriage
This package of letters and photo
graphs is very much desired by tn
Young nobleman and has employed tn
notorious detective, Sherlock Holmes
and his able assistants, to recover tn
same. The Larrabees also wish
secure this package for blakmailin
purposes, and resort to every desperat
means to accomplish their end. Til
is the story OF the play. The Larrabee
have the aid of the basest criminals an
thugs Of all Englad. Among them
one Moriarity, who is the chief Of the'
men Of shady work. He mas never mi

UNLUCKY NUMBER
POLICE START a CRUSADE ON
CYCLISTS.
Thirteen Arrested for Riding on the
Sidewalk.

Regardless Of color, sex or politics,
the police department has announced
its intention Of arresting every living soul
who rides bicycles on the sidewalks. The
crusade started Tuesday and will con-
tinue until the practice is broken up and
the ordinance obeyed- AS result Of the
determined effort on the part of the de-
partment thirteen arrests have been re-
corded. Chief of Police Cubbon has ap-
pointed George D. Downing special police
man to enforce the ordinance.
Those who have been caught riding on
the walks up to last night are c. W.
Mossman, Seymour Yoacum, Harvey
Nevins, Alan Nader, ]. Nichols, Verne
Garland, Prof Waterbury, Boston Doyle,
Phil Alexander, P. A. Williams, B. A.
Hasldll, G.. B. Powell and M. M. Deeds.
A few of these have paid small fines.
The offenders think it is quite joke, as
they were not aware that they would be
arrested If they dismounted when meet
ing pedestrians Some of them dismount-
ed and some didn't. Chief Of Police Cub
bon now declares that dismounting don't
count, that the order heretofore allowing
wheelmen to ride on the walks If they
dismounted has been revoked and that
as this leniency has been abused he in
tends to arrest all parties caught in this
act, whether the streets are muddy or

LETTER FROM C. G. COIN
Says Wichita Electrical Floats Will
Excel Those in Milwaukee.

Secretary Harry Lockwood of the Car
nival association yesterday received the
following letter from C. G. Cohn, presi-
dent of the association, who is on his
way to New York:
"st. Louis, Aug. I. 1900.
Harry Lockwood, Esq,
my Dear Sir-I have just returned
from Toomey's den where he is manufac-
turing the electrical floats for our pag-
cant this fall, and I can frankly say
they are simply beautiful. I consider
them far superior to the floats in the
pageant at Milwaukee, and I do not feel
that it would be over-es timated at all to
say that they are finer and more attract
i've than any that were ever had in the
past in ST. Louis at the Yelled Prophets
procession.
''You can say to our people that we
will give them the most excellent and
superb pageant ever witnessed in the
United States. They are not more than
half-completed, but see enough to justify
the above remarks. They represent
masterpieces of modern art
ct shall leave for New York Saturday
night.
Trusting everything else is working
along nicely, and hoping to hear from
you within a few days. I remain yours
respectfully, CHAS G. COHN."

SUES FOR A DIVORCE
Mary f. Weist Wants Legal Separa-
ton From H Weist.

Mary f. West, by her attorneys, Ami
don & Conley, filed a petition in the dis
trict court asking that she be granted
legal separation from her husband, H.
West.
The petitioner charges the defendant
with extreme cruelty and that many
times he has threatened to kill the plain
tiff. On August 6. according to the petit
ton, the defendant struck the plaintiff
several blows without provocation and
that he was convicted in the city court
on the charge of assault and battery.
The petition further alleges that the de-
PENDANT threatened to kill the plaintiff
when released from the custody of the
officers.
The petitioner claims that she is the
owner of property on Matthewson avenue
and that there are household goods which
she asks the court to leave in her possess
sion. The petition further asks that the
defendant he restrained from interfering
with the affairs Of the plaintiff and that
the court grant an absolute divorce with
the costs Of the case assessed TO the de-
fendant
