SCARCITY OF MEAT.
The Local Market Will be Short I'm
til Australia Arrives.


In addition to the threatened inflic
tion of trump Legislature" Honolulu
is upon the verge of meat famine.
The rumor was current upon the street
yesterday that the local market was
short OF beef and mutton. Late In the
afternoon a reporter OF the Advertiser
saw Manager Waller OF the Metropoli-
tan Market and In reply to a number
of questions that gentleman said;
Eyes, there Is shortage OF meat in
Honolulu. This Is due to the fact that
the Metropolitan Meat Company was
almost entirely disappointed in the
usual supply received from the Colo
niles. We expected TO get 400 carcasses
Of beef and as many OF sheep by the
Aorangi; instead we only received for
ty-five carcasses OF the former and 100
OF the latter. This leaves us short,
and we will not receive further sup
plies until the return OF the Australia
from the Coast.

Just why "rump Legislature" has
been called together the Speaker II the
House does not explain. and possibly
does not know. Others who do know
give no satisfactory reason. Various
outside theories are advanced, among
them that the convocatlon is in the In
terests of salary grab. AS to that
time will tell. Meanwhile people who
like to feel lonesome should attend the
sessions.

The Australian doctors have come to
the conclusion that the flea carries the
plague. Happily they do not accuse
the mosquito. How the flea can convey
enough pestilence to kill a man and
not succumb to 1t itself Is something
of puzzle but that is only one of
many. Plague-infectlon is a conun-
drum all around.

MAUI, FEB. 17.-Eyerything favor
able for the entire suppression of the
plague is the report this morning from
the chairman of the Health Commit
tee OF Maui. No new cases for six
days past, or since Sunday. the 18th.
Maui's death list from the plague will
probably number but seven. II this
prediction proves true, then Maui citi-
zens can point with pride to their
prompt action in the destruction of
Kahulurs Chinatown, which was un-
doubtedly the most powerful agency in
barring the progress OF the epidemic.
.Still, many people, knowing the in
sldious manner In which bubonic
plague lies dormant for time. only
to break out again with greater vio-
lence, rightly believe that the danger
is, not as yet past. So the plantations
will maintain their local guarantees
for another week at least. The prac-
tice of the managers of the sugar es-
tates is not to allow their employees to
go. beyond plantation boundaries; to
allow no strangers to enter, and to
prevent as much as possible all NOV
ing about and intermingling.
Though there have been no bona
ide plague cases since Sunday, still
the public mind, rendered nervous by
the frightful events at the beginning
of the week, has been agitated by sew
eral false alarms.

Dead of Starvation.
Last Tuesday afternoon, the 18th,
Captain of Police s. E. Kalama of Ma
kawao discovered two Japanese in the
house Of Pauole, the Kula policeman,
who lives makai OF the Kealahou Gov
eminent school house. One of the
Japs was dead and the other was very
sick; and what rendered the cases
more suspicious was that the sick Jap
said that they had come from Spreck-
elsville. The native residents had de-
serted the premises, fearing plague
Captain Kalama Immediately tele-
phoned for DR.. McConkey, placed a
guard over the house, and established
a temporary quarantine over the Kula
people, for the protection of adjoining
Makawao. DR.. McConkey arrived early
the next morning, and, after examina-
ton, declared that the Jap died of star
walton. He sent both the dead man
and the sick one TO quarantine quar-
tiers in Kahului, where DR.. Garyin per-
formed an autopsy, which showed that
something besides plague caused the
death OF the Japanese.
Waikiki, too, during the week has
had a Feported) suspicious case, which
has proved to be not plague.

During Tuesday night, the 18th, the
raid on the Kula district under the
direction of l.. Won Tempsky, member
OF Maui's Health Committee, and Cap
tain Kalama resulted In the capture
OF but three refugees from the former
Chinatown of Kahulul. They were
TWO Japanese and one Chinese. In this
raid more than fifty men took part,
under eight leaders. The raid began
at y. m. and ended during the early
hours OF the next morning. The ter
rltory covered was at least sixteen
miles In length along the Government
road and extended up the whole noun
tain side OF Haleakala. The results are
somewhat disappointing, for IL there
were 300 denizens In Chinatown and
only 205 OF them are In the detention
camp, then there are still ninety-five
to be accounted for.
During Wednesday night, the 14th,
Captain Kalama captured three more

Owing to the fact that 80 many of

a smaller number of large vessels, with
large crews, is that the smaller ones
afford the greater number of indepen-
dent commands and opportunities for
training for command. Between 1872
and 1888, says Cassier's Magazine. sew
enty-six sea-going fighting ships were
launched for the British navy, varying
in displacement between 430 and 1000
tons, and the number Of men and Off
GERS in these ships ranged from fifty
nine IN the smallest to 220 in the
largest. These ships were to be found
all over the world. Admirals, captains
and leading officers Of to-day were all
trained in them, and splendidly trained.
These ships, however, have been dis
placed during recent years by larger
vessels, with larger crews, making for
each command larger claims on naval
estimates and on the reserve of men.
Some of the foremost authorities now
lean to the opinion that too much trust
is placed in big ships and guns, and too
little in the skill, enterprise and valor
which may be had in the direction and
management Of a ship of moderate
size. To multiply such smaller ships
Is to multiply the chances of getting
good men in command. Piling up ar
NOR and guns condemns many such
men to subOrdination to their interiors.

sunny Tennessee. Mrs. Burnett Is now
81 years old, and she has been bread

The change from the tall factory

the heart of little Frances with delight.
1t was during these early struggles that
she conceived the plan of sending a
story to the magazines. Her sister
sold grapes for the postage which car

From that lime lorward Mrs. burnett s
ascent to fame and wealth was easy as
the proveTbial descent to Ayernlls.
Her first story was published in 1867,
and the products of her pen have been
in big demand since that time. The

viding for text book on agriculture
for use In the common schools. The

session of the State Teachers Associa.
tion to revise the course of study fot
the common schools Of Kansas has re.
solved that text book on agriculture
should be adopted in the Kansas
schools, and decided to take steps to
arouse sentiment on the subject. AS
preliminary step 1t was decided to
adopt agriculture as portion of the
course Of study for the next school
year. State Superintendent Nelson
says: "Kansas is an agricultural State.
The young men of the State should,
therefore, be taught agriculture. How
to keep boys on the farm is now the
great question. BY dignifying farm
life and educating the boys to make a
success in agriculture the question will
be solved. 1t is just as essential to
teach young man who expects to fol-
low that pursuit how to farm MS 1t is
to send young man who wants to be
