A DILEMMA.

Tho Star a few days ago called the
attention of the public to the financial
condition Of the Territory and pointed
out that though there was no need for
alarm, there was need for caution and
retrenchmcnt. People were clamoring
for this thing ana that thing and never
considering the cost. The statement
of superintendent McCaudlcss to the
Board Of Health yesterday, that it
would be impossible to carry out the
sewer system in certain areas gives
point to the caution.
OF course this does not mean that
the system viii be abandoned, but it
means a delay in carrying it out. If
there is not sufficient means to do what
was planned, of course the work must
stop until means can be obtained. 1t is
all very well to say it must be done,
but If there Is no money to do it with
how can it be done? 1t is much the
same as if a doctor were to tell a poor
man he must have a pint of port a day.

A MELANCHOLY VAIL.

The matter of statistics which has
been so frequently brought forward in
these columns has at last struck the
Board of Health as something to mourn
over, and it now wants a statistican
The voice from the Islands has passed
unheeded, but the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics from New York has sent forward
for information upon the births, mar
rages and deaths, and the Board finds
itself unable to make any adequate re-
ply. Hence the wall for a statstician.
1t has been pointed out in these col
umns time and time again that the
Board has the machinery for collecting
these statistics, ready at it's hand, but
it steadily refuses to put it in motion.
There is law enough and to spare on
the subject, but if your law is not APP
piled it becomes dead letter. We
ought to know the number of births by
districts for the whole group, we do
not even know the birth rate for Ho-
nolulu. Yet every person who fails to
report the birth of a child is liable to
a fine of $25. who has ever heard of a
prosecution under the law No one.
The fact is these statistics virtually
keep themselves if the law is only en-
forced. If man knows he is sure to
be fined $25 he will take precious good
care to register the birth of his child.
AS to deaths, a person cannot be buried
without a certificate, so that supplies
itself as it were. AS to marriages every
pastor or every person who soIemnizes
the rite of matrmony is bound by law
to keep a record and to forward it to
the Board of Health. 1t would only re-
quire an additional clerk, at no high
rate of pay to keep this information
posted up and to make out blanks which
of the public.

The Boer war is in it's very last stage,
and any mail may bring the announce
ment of the surrender of the two re-
naming Generals and of President
Kruger The latter is naturally desir-
Gus of getting the best terms for him
self that he can get. The question is
whether Lord Roberts will not continue
to insist upon unconditional surrender.

The condition of the Pauoa road is
simply awful and the attention of the
Road Supervisor is called to it. After
every shower there is any where from
six inches to a foot of mud A very
large number of people have to walk
through this. The population is not a
carriage" population and they cannot
afford to drive down. Many of them
are children who attend schools in
town. The consequence is that when
the term opens their feet will be wet
all day to the detrimcrt Of their health.

The planters delegation to the South
ern States seems to have got to work in
good shape, and already some negro
families have been secured. Going on
to the ground themselves instead Of
trusting to a middle man they will OBJ
tain a satisfactory class Of laborers. 1t
has always been pointed out that the
negro from the agricultural belt is
hard working, Industrious, thrifty man,
who brings up his family with care and
proves a good citizen. While it might
not do to depend entirely on negroes, it
is far better to have a laboring popula-
ton which can become portion of the
body polite, than to trust entirely to
Asiatics who must always remain
aliens.

The destruction of the Plague Hos
pital by order of the Board of Health
writes the word "fnis" over the official
fires. 1t is to be hoped that it also
writes the word "flnis" over every trace
of the plague, though that dread dis
ease has left a train of financial ills
which will last for a very considerable
space of time.

Judge Wilcox is evidently determined
to put down the lawlessness upon the
water front, and fined Lewis and Turk
heavily for their share in the late af-
fray. 1t is outrageous that such a reign
of terror should have been established
among the sailors, as has been inau-
gurated by these two men. Some of
these days they may find themselves
i'm the prison cells.

How the Turtles Escaped.

L. T. Eckert Of Dunnstable township
was given an exhibition Of the manner
In which land turtles will flee from APP
preaching danger. says the Lock Ha-
ven Democrat. Mr.. Eckert has three
turtles on his farm, one bearing the IN
scriptiOn "W. c. D., 1915" which let
tiers and figures were cut on by neigh
Dor. W. c. Danley; another having the
initials "W. s." on, which came from
Mr. Eckert does not know where. and
q third with his own initials, IL. i.
E." and a cross mark.
One day flames broke out in Mr.. Eek
ert's clearing and swept over the en-
tire field. After the flames burned
awhile Mr.. Eckert thought OF his pets
and went out to see what had become
of them. He was worried. fearing that
they bad been burned to death.
After a long search he went short
distance from the track covered by the
flames and found a freshly dug hole.
In 1t he found one of the turtles down
a considerable depth. digging deeper
with more vigor than is usually seen
In those slow going tortoises.
Mr.. Eckert, after walking around,
finally found the other two down along
a small stream. both in the water. with
only their heads sticking out When
Mr.. Eckert appeared on the scene. they
pushed their heads little farther out,
as much as to say: "We're all right
Go about your business" The turtles
evidently know when to get out of dan
gers way.

A Hind Por the BrIde to BE.

At recent wedding In Paris the
bride amazed all beholders by wearing
q long, volumlnous tulle veil flecked
with silver. The innovation pleased
as much as II surprised. and II is not
improbable that we shall be taking our
last look at the winter bride to be
through a mist OF tulle and silver, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The bride who introduced this novelty
was young woman OF social inpor-
lance, and as her frocks were made by
the great artists" Of Paris It Is posi-
BILE that the spangled veil was the in
splratlOn OF one OF these faiseurs and
not an idea Of the demolselle herself.
The bridal wreath was Of myrtle and
orange blossoms. The gown was heavy
ivory white duchess satin, the trained
skirt made IN groups OF tucks, the bod
Ice having a bolero Of corded silk and
applications Of embroidered mousseline
de sole. The sleeves and revers were
trimmed with the same embroidery,
and the yoke was Of transparent nous
seine.
There was one maid in attendance.
She wore the newest OF new frocks-
white peau de CANT cloth. which name
describes the fabric perfectly. It had
a small bolero strapped with cloth and
d large collar OF Roman point The
sleeves were rolled at the elbow, show
ing undersleeves Of crepe de chine. The
skirt was plain. She wore a hat OF
white beaver, with one long white os-
trlch plume and a knot Of velvet ribbon
as trimming and carried bouquet Of
pink roses.

Prinon pefect. In sIberla.

l visited the great prison in Irkutsk
and was most courteously allowed to
spend several hours there. went in
to every part of the prison that could
see, including the hospital, the work
shops, the laundry and the kitchen,
and visited every one Of the large
rooms and almost every cell. In all
these l saw but two things to find fault
with-the practice Of herding together
criminals of all ages. tried and untried,
and the long time in some cases
amounting to two years-which many
Of the prisoners spend there before
their cases are finally judged. This
latter evil Is caused partly by the great
difficulty Of collecting evidence from
many parts of Siberia. but chiefly be-
cause the central authorities do not
supply magistrates to cope with the
numbers of those arrested. - Henry

straddIe Club.

Players stand in two or more lines,
one behind another, with the feet apart
in straddle fashion. At a signal the
leaders of the lines each slide an In
dian club between the feet from the
front toward the rear of the lines. The
last one in each line, when he receives
the club runs with 1t to the front,
takes position at the head Of the line
and starts 1t in his turn. The line wins
whose leader returns first to the front.
II the club stops on its way to the rear
the player next whom 1t stops starts 1t
again. If the club is allowed to skip
a player, 1t is counted foul and must
be returned to the player skipped, who
then starts It. This game can also be
played with ball.

opportunities to Honolulu will be great
ly hindered by the removal of the Jap

the sailing vessel facilities, will be suf-
ficient to carry on the trade here with

Convention Behind Closed Doors
Ihrashng Out the Problem
of Employees.

The managers Of the Hawaiian sugar
plantations and planters in general met

of discussing the labor question. An
all-day session behind closed doors was
held, and a notice was sent out that no
newspapers would be allowed to have
a representative in attendance.
Mr.. G. Bolte, the secretary of the
Planters Association, stated last even
ing to an Advertiser reporter with ref
erence TO the days proceedings:
1t has been recommended by the
plantation managers to the trustees of
the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Associa-
ton that labor bureaus be established
on each of the different Islands. and
that the pass-book system be inaugu-
rated again.
Also that the plantations should
stand together for mutual protection"
4 Ais was the gist of the days pro-
ceedings. IL is understood, however.
that one of the special features of the
SESSION will be the discussion of the
immigration of Porto Rican iabOrers,
as proposed some weeks ago.
The men in attendance upon this i'm
portant meeting of the plantation inter
ests Will have many hard nuts to crack
