Hopkinton, June 5.-Thursday was a
red letter day for Lenox College III
many ways In the first place it was
Its fortieth annual commencement. and
an especial effort was made to make the
day of especial interest. There was all
exceptional number OF alumni and old.

the commencement could not be sur

Following the program there was an
appeal made for funds for the compile

work Went briskly on for half an hour
and at the end of that time over $4,000

is generally believed. the forerunner Of

ltertainments and special church SER
vices. Last Sunday evening many We're
compelled to go away from the church
not being able to get in. Would it not
be a delightful thing for some man, or
company of men, to demonstrate their
generosity for the public by selecting
some suitable place and erect good
building with all the modern conven-
licences which will comfortably seat the
people on all occasions. There is
plenty of wealth in this community to
4 do 1t. So let it be done.

PLAGUE IN HILO.

The outbreak of plague in Hilo is a
serious calamity, just as the outbreak
on Maui is for that Island In Hilo,
however, the case has been taken IN
hand al the commencement and the
danger of spreading may have been
minimized, that is, if the case of Mrs.
Serrao was really a first case. With
strict quarantine, instant isolation of
all who may have been in contact with
the diseased person, or have been ex-
posed to infection in any way, and the
destruction of the house or houses
where infection may Turk the plague
can be beaten almost at the outset.
HilO has the advantage Of having the
experience of Honolulu before her eyes,
and has done a great deal of cleaning
up, but there will probably have to be
a more systematic examination of cess
pools and filth breeding spots, which
escape general supervision till plague
actually comes upon a city. There
used to be some dirty districts in Hilo.
These districts in the general cleaning
which took place when plague broke
out in Honolulu, have, it is understood
been much improved. But it is quite
question whether such cleaning is not
to a great extent superficial. and it
may possibly be Doctor Woods opinion
that the only way to meet the outbreak
will be to condemn and burn a large
portion of such property.
The main aim, both in Maui and in
Hilo, will be to keep the disease within
circumscribed limits. In Honolulu we
have been able to do this. By stringent
effort, in spite of the fact that we pos
sessed a plague breeding center in
Chinatown, which was for time, more
than the Board of Health could cope
with, We have been able to keep the
plague confined to the district of Homo
lulu, and the rest of the Island has
been exempt from any attacks of the
disease.
The danger on Maui, as was pointed

Consul Saito has drawn up a very
sensible little proclamation to the Jap
anese in the infected districts upon the
other Islands. 1t is a proclamation
which will tend to allay any excite
ment among the laborers upon the plan
tations and urges them to strictly obey
the orders of all those in authority. The
passage about sending delegates in case
they have any representation or COM
plant to make, is eminently wise. The
Japanese are prone to making known
their grievances zen masse." Consul
General Saito has always shown the
greatest friendliness to the authorities
in this trying time and has been of the
greatest assistance in keeping the
minds of his countrymen calm, and
themselves amenable to the many re-
strictions it has been found necessary
to impose.

BOER WAR.

ne Boer war presented no new fea-
lures at the time the Australia left San
Francisco 1t is reported that Butler
has again crossed the Tugela. The fact
that he has been able to do so, after
falling back from Spion Kop, shows
that he has the position much better
in hand than when he made his first
attempt and failed.
Gatacre is said to be attacked in his
position, but such would be against the
usual tactics of the Beers who are
stronger in defensive warfare, than in
offensive. Their offensive operations
stronger in defensive warfare, than in
cessful, while their defensive have
been remarkably so. For instance at
Ladysmith they have been held at bay
for months, though the force against
the defenders has been UNNECESSARILY
superior, and the artillery more numer-
have, up to the present, not been sue
Kimberley have been able to hold out,
and in the former place the garrison
is quite small.
If the British relief forces have not
accomplished what they were expected
to do at the outset they have kept the
main Boer armies very busily employed
in barring their progress, and have
prevented the invested towns from be-
Gus and better. Both Mafeking and
ing overwhelmed by concentrations of
Boer forces.
Lords Roberts and Kitchener have
gone to the front and it is to be sup
posed that a concerted movement WIN
have been made probably before now.
We need not expect any particularly
decisive news by the next steamer, but
before the end of the month we ought
to hear of some brilliant victory or
signal defeat. If all telegraphic news
could be believed, the Beers have evil
IDENTIFY put forth their full strength and
have denuded the Notifications of Pre-
toria of guns. Thus it might prove, II
the British forces could once break
through, that the end of the war might
come more quickly than has been anti
cipated.
The position of the Salisbury minis
try, which, before the recess, was con-
sidered quite precarious, has proved I'M
expectedly strong. The opposition could
only muster up 139 votes against 1862
of ministerial supporters. This, means
the prosecution of the war to an ulti-
mate end, or fight to a finish as one
may say, while the mobilization of
the enormous fleet means that Great
Britain will have no interference from
any European power.

France seems to be waiting for an
opportunity to force Great Britain's
hand, in Egypt. The British Ambassa-
dor Sir Edmund Munson has certainly
quilted Paris, but it is officially denied
that there is any political cause for
his departure. To occupy Egypt has
been a French dream since the time of
Napoleon l. If France thinks she has
the opportunity she will certainly
strike and no doubt this attitude on the
part Of France is partly the cause of
the mobilization of the British fleet.

out in these columns yesterday was In
the moving round of people through
Kahului during the Chinese New Year
the very time, it seems, when the ba-
clli of plague were let loose in that viii
lage. On taking a census of the popu.
lation of Kahului, some two hundred
people were found. But there ought
to have been in the neighborhood of
three hundred people. Therefore nearly
one hundred must have dispersed them
selves over the Island. These are being
diligently searched for by the Sheriff
of the Island, but they may have done
an infinity of mischief before they are
all rounded up.
In Hilo, up to the latest advlces,
there had been no exodus, and know
ing the danger that comes from plague,
we may feel assured that the authori-
ties will have taken care to prevent
any exodus of the lower class of the
population, which is the portion that
is most liable to receive and to spread
infection.
Hilo again has the advantage of be-
ing able, with ease, to make a house
to house inspection twice day, as we
have done in Honolulu. There is no
doubt that the house to house inspec-
ton has had great deal to do with
the checking of any additional plague
centers in Honolulu. 1t is very exact
ing work, and to many people very
unpleasant work, but there are plenty
of people in Hilo who will be willing
to sacrifice themselves, as people have
done in Honolulu.
Lastly Hilo has the advantage of the
experience gained in Honolulu. Many
of our physicians are now plague ex-
perts, and have acquired invaluable
knowledge. When DR.. Wood lands in
Hilo, he begins his fight against the
plague with a full grasp of his subject.
far better a grasp than when he first
took up the fight in Honolulu. This is
distinctly on the side of rapid and
successful fight against the malady.
Having experienced bitter time with
plague ourselves we can deeply sympa-
thize with any people who are suffer-
gladly do her very utmost to assist
both Maui and Hilo in their fight
against the plague, and can truth
fully say that it hopes their efforts may
than they have been in our own city.

There are courtesies in war as well
as in peace. The return of General
Pretorius to his home, after recovering
from his wounds, is graceful act up
on the part of Lord Roberts. General
Pretorius was taken prisoner at Glands
Laagte and was so severely wounded
that his leg had to be amputated at
Cape Town. 1t is pleasing to see a rift
of kindness playing through the dark
clouds of race hatred and war.
