the Chronicle from Belleville, H., says;
A skipping rope contest has caused
the death of 11-year-old Freda Poignee
and occasloned the serious illness of

rivalry among the three children and
others Of the school they attended as

disease caused by too violent exercise.

INSPECTION.

The work of house to house inspection
is quite arduous upon those people who
do their duty properly. Granted that
man has even one hundred people to
see personally every morning and every
evening it takes a considerable time.
Added to this there is the inspection of
every room in each house, and this
lakes more time. Granting a quick in
spection in the morning, and a careful
inspection in the afternoon man has
from three to three hours and a half
work daily. This is a hard tax upon
people who do their duty, and unless
The duty is done thoroughly it may Just
as we'll be left done.
One would like to know how thor
oughly the inspection is done. Some of
II undoubtedly well and thoroughly
done. But from side winds that come
IN, some of it is very easily slopped
over. Now poor work in this direction
neutralizes the work of those who
honestly do their duty 1t is unpleas-
ant work, in brings one in contact with
things which one would rather leave
alone, and 1t is work which carries
some though, on general percentage,
not large risk
1t is work which calls for consider
able tact and considerable forbear-
anee. The people put, in charge have
nine times out Of ten to deal with
phases of life which they never have
dealt with before. When one considers
the matter for moment, it is no light
responsibility to deal with people of
different race, many of whom have no
idea Of sanitary conditions, and further
who cannot find the means for sani-

A HIGHER POWER.

A gentleman looking on at the burned
district and the roaring flames as they
sped Stewards remarked: Man has been
trying to do all he can in small way.
Now a higher power has taken the mat
ter out of mans hands and swept away
the mass of corruption and filth in a
few hours.
This is certainly a view of the events
of today which will appeal to many
minds. Others perhaps will deride it,
but there is enough in it to give one
cause for thought. The affairs of this
world are in our hands to a certain ex-
tent, but they are not so entirely. There
is ever something which works for our
good, quite outside our own efforts.
And this may be one of those particular
instances.
Left to ourselves we would have gone
on working for many days gradually
removing people out of the burned dis
trict and destroying gradually. Now
the matter has been taken entirely ont
of our hands, and the east wind has
helped to cleanse the town.
But a heavy responsibility rests upon
us. We have to take care of the house
less and homeless. For these poor peo-
pie, whom hard necessity for the gen
eral welfare forced our authorities to
keep in quarantine there can be no.
thing but the deepest sympathy. The
rich and generous will have to be call
ed upon to help in this terrible calami
ty, which, through no fault of their
own has come upon this portion of our
population. Any one who saw the exod-
us of the weeping, frightened and half
dazed crowds passing through the
streets must have had a heart of stone
not to be touched. 1t was indeed one
of the saddest sights that has ever
been seen in Honolulu, and may be in
any city.
Whatever the responsibility, it will be
met, and in spite of the hurry and dis
organization of the moment, such ar
rangements for comfort and feeding
have been made as were possible in the
emergency. Tomorrow, complete or
ganization will enable the authorities
with the assistance of the citizens to do
what is just and right by the sufferers
of Chinatown.
1t is fortunate that we have men with
quick brains, open hands, organizing
power and executive ability to meet
such an unexpected crisis and we may
hope, with almost certain assurance,
that our own efforts will have the as
sistance of that higher power which
guides all things well in this world,
even when they seem at their blacklist

ROBERTS IN SOUTH AFRIcA.

LONDON, January 11.-During the
interlude of apparent military inactiv-
ity and official secrecy Lord Roberts
and Lord Kitchener have arrived at the
seat of war. 1t is assumed that their
clear vision, supported by 10000 fresh
men who are due to arrive in South At
RIGA within thirty days, will alter the
situation and that the fourth month of
the campaign will witness the beginning
of victories for the British arms. They
are not, however expected to produce
definite results for some days, but their
mere presence will restore the shaken
confidence of the men at the front in
their generals.
Lord Roberts finds 10000 men ON the
defensive or watching for an opening.
Lord Metheun's health, ACCORDING to the
Daily Mail, has broken down, and the
Field Marshal may relieve him. Posi-
bly, some others will be relieved of i'm
portant commands. There is certainly
plenty of rank in evidence in South At
RIGA. In addition to the Field Marshal,
there are two full Generals, four Lieu
tenant Generals and twelve or fourteen
Major Generals. There is an uneasy
suspicion that when Ladysmith casual
ties are announced they will be dis
heartening and will partly destroy the
patriotic glow produced by General
Whites victory"

THE LOCK AND THE KEY

You can operate lock only with
the key that fits it. Very well. So
you can cure disease only with the
medicine that goes down to the cause
or 1t. Now, many so-called diseases
are in truth only forms of one dis
ease, branches of one tree, as we may
say. For example, If we can nourish
the body and enrich the blood, we
speedily get rid Of many of our
troubles, such as Anemia, Fevers.
Rheumatism, Scrofula aud Blood Dis
orders, Ricketts, in children, Lung Dis
eases, etc.-all proofs that the body
lacks vitality and force. Nothing is
so effective body-builder as cod liver
oil; but, alas, how many are nauseated
at the very thought Of it. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION,
which is palatable as honey and con-
talns the nutritive and curative prop-
critics Of Pure Cod Liver Oil,extracted
by us from fresh cod liVers, we have
the rose S0ithOut the thorn; the valua.
BILE drug minus its vile taste. Add to
this the Compound Syrup Of Hypo-
phosphltes for making bone, and the
Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry for
equally excellent purposes, and we
have remedy indeed; one as pleas
ing to the palate and stomach as it
is potent and successful in banishing
disease in old or young and making
life worth having. "You cannot be
disappointed in it." More lives have
been saved by it, than by any other
medicine; you get an effective rem
edy while seeming to be using only a
palatable food. CDR. G.. G. Shannon,
of Canada, says II shall continue
its use with, am sure, great advan-
tage to my patients, and satisfaction
to myself" Has all the virtues of
cod liver oil none Of its faults. It is
not like the old things; it suppressed es
them. One bottle convinces. Genuine
only with trade mark is effective from
the first dose. Sold by all chemists.

The destruction of Kaumakapili
Church will be regretted by many peo-
pie. The building itself was not very
old, having been erected in 1884. The
site however is in historic one, for it
has been occupied by place of worship
from early missionary times. 1t is sad
that the building should go, but the ne
cessty Of burning down the surround
ing buildings was imperative and it
was impossible for the fire department
TO control the flames, which are now
sweeping through Chinatown as these
lines go to press.

tary improvement. There is so much
jealousy, so much intrigue one against
one or the other race, that it requires
quick eye and quick brain to take in
the situation.
The end of the matter is that
work of the house to house inspection
for plague purposes is not so salts
factory as it might have been. Some
men who volunteered failed to realize
their responsibilities. Thus, while the
work has been done wonderfully well
in part in some cases it has been seri
ously neglected. AS far as unwilling
volunteers are concerned, it Is much
better to be done with them.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-01-20

The laying off of the steamers plying
between the Islands is one of the signs
of the injury the plague has done to the
commercial interests of this CITY, But
it is no use repining. After the Com
mune which was a political plague,
Paris rose from it's ashes, and it's COM
mercial losses. Chicago looked as if it
were ruined when the great fire swept
millions away in few hours. Yet Chi
cago today is more prosperous than
ever. There is no need to despair. There
will be a silver lining to our dark and
sullen cloud. There is no denying the
seriousness of the situation, but it must
be met cheerfully.

Criticism is made that people from
the quarantined district We're allowed
to take their belongings with them.
Had they not been permitted to do so
there would have been a stampede
which neither the military nor the citi-
zens would have been able to control.
The authorities acted for the best in a
most trying crisis.

Goods which are taken to sea should
be tossed overheard very far out to sea
otherwise any articles liable to float
will be washed ashore, and the beach
and reef haunters will not hesitate tc
make use of them. Whatever is taker
out should be heavy enough to sink, all
other should be burned, it is much the
safer course.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-01-20

Honolulu is often charged with being
split up into cliques, and the charge is
largely true. But when a widespread ca
lamity comes upon the city, the clique
line disappears. Animosities and petty
.jealousies are laid aside, and all unite
in carrying on to the best of their abil-
ity the work that is laid out by the
Board of Health and the Sanitary Com

The fear of the plague preys upon
some classes of minds. There is no
more predisposing cause to sickness
than unreasoning fear. People in such
condition should have their attention
distracted from brooding upon the stu
alton, and should be amused or inter-
ested in some occupation.
