A GOOD MOVE.

The stand taken by the Board of
Health with regard to the filthy habit
of expectoration in the streets, in
places of public resort and in public
vehicles will be viewed with satisfac-
ton by the majority of citizens. Whe-
thed the Board of Health regulation can
be efficiently carried out, is quite an
other matter. The Board of Health has
put itself on record and has done what
it could to stay the evil. The point
in doubt is whether the Board can
legally appOrtion a penalty of $40 for
first offence and $25 for a second, or
whether persons who violate the reg
nlation can only be punished under the
statue for being a common nuisance
This can only be settled by bringing
a test case, as soon as possible into
court.
The wisdom of the regulation cannot
be controverted. Not only is the habit
of eXpectoration filthy and disgusting,
but it is source of danger and of
disease. In a long series of articles,
which have appeared from time to
time in The Star upon the subject of
tuberculosis, and in quotations from
the writings of the most eminent of
effects, one may say the deadly effects
of the eXpectorations of patients suffer-
ing from this disease have been dwelt
upon.
1t is not at the moment of expectora-
ton that the danger occurs, as long
as the sputum remains wet there is
little or no danger, but the moment
it dries the light germs float into the
air and are breathed by all. Some
times the germs find a most fertile
soil in the lungs, at others the lungs
are strong enough to throw off the poi
son. But undoubtedly much of the
spread of tuberculosis in this city is
due to the indiseriminate expectorations
of patient suffering from the disease.
Verify, it may be said, tuberculosis is
in the very air we breathe.
In the days before the fire in China
town there used to be quite a number
of cheap restaurants along Nuuanu
street. In one of these there used to
be Chinaman in the very worst stages
of consumption, He would sit in his
chair, cough and expectorate upon the
floor. This would go on all day. That
restaurant was a very death trap but
it appeared then that nothing could be
done. The matter came before the
Board of Health of that day but ended
in mere talking.
The present Board of Health is to be
commended for taking this step. Even
if the effort fails, it is there on record,
and as soon as we have municipal

WE WILL LEARN.


AS time goes on we shall begin to APP
preciate and understand our various
privileges, now that we belong to the
Union, and our people will begin to
look out and prepare themselves for
the chances of government employment
which occur. There are opportunities
which can be made use Of outside of
political pull and upon pure merit of
examination, which will give many a
young man just the start he wants.
The nominations to West Point ami
Annapolis may or may not be political
Hawaii has one for each of these places
OF course a nomination does not mean
an entrance, because a very rlgiG eNa-
mination has to be passel If nOhin-
atoms are made for political ruIpos s,
il only means that the candidate and
his alternate are turned down. and the
Territory or State loses its chance Of
being represented i'm the great military
and naval schools of the Republic.
To obviate this most. if not all states
and Territories, hold a preliminary eNd-
mination, and the nominations go To the
candidates who stand at the top of the
list. And even out of this process Of
sitting the assurance of success IS a
doubtful quantity. To reach either
West Point or Annapolis requires hard
study, and this future candidates in
Hawaii are beginning to realize. To
retain the position thus gained requires
still harder work, for it is one thing to
I, hp1
a place in the classes under the rigid
examinations which are given from
time to time.
But besides these two opportunities
in the military and naval services of
our country, there are twenty positions
under Civil Service Rules open to the
citizens of this Territory. These are in
Washington, either in the Departments
or in the Government Printing office.
The Star published yesterday the list
of places for which application can be
made, and the Civil Service examiners
will soon be down here to hold eXamin-
ations. There will be a considerable
rumagng up of old intellectual timber
in order to Turkish up forgotten know
ledge. OF course in these examinations
there is a minimum, and if no one ex-
Ceeds that, there will be no civil service
appointments from Hawaii.
The method of examination, the style
of questions and so forth will all be
new to our citizens, and it may safely
be predicted that not all the twenty
positions to which Hawaii is entitled
will be filled. Then there is the ques-
ton of wages. These are not on SC
liberal scale as our own are. OF
course the government wages are GER
tain, while daily wages are not. How
ever there the chance is and twenty
people can obtain a safe living they
have the proper qualifications to pass
the examinations.

government, municipal ordinance
can accomplish what Is desired without
any doubt I'm carrying out its campaign
against expectoration the Board should
have the assistance of all rood citizens.
II is to manifestly i'm the interests of
cleanliness and good health that even
at a sacrifice OF time people should be
ready to give Information and appear
as witnesses.
In most places It is unnecessary TO
pass any regulation with regard to
street cars because they are kept
scrupulously clean by the officials of
the companies. Here there is no such
regulation with regard to the street
cars by the street car company. 1t is
no uncommon thing to see the driver
of a car which waiting at a terminus,
sit down inside, and arabesque the
floor with his filthy expectations.
Elsewhere not only would the driver
not dare to do this, but being respon-
sible for the condition of his car would
give any passenger who INDUCED in ex-
pectoration, his walking ticket at once.
The public buildings, especially the
judiciary building, are very filthy on
account of expectoration. The main
cross corridor of the judiciary building
is regarded as a specially adapted for
a cuspidor by the gentlemen who are
attending the law courts, and lounging
around the galleries, waiting to be call
ed The result is that the lower cor
ridors are frequently covered with eX-
pectorations and cigarette stumps,
though it must be owned that this
form of nuisance is not so bad now as
it was a few years since. Chief Justice
Judd issued a regulation which was
posted over the well, do not spit,
but there was no penalty attached, and
though diminished in volume the spit
ting went on and has gone on to this
day
In this connection attention may
Justly be called to the police force.
Regulations are constantly being pass
ed which the police are called upon to
enforce. The more we advance the
more complicated become our regula-
lions. Yet just at time when we are
putting more and more burdens upon
the police, is the time when we talk
of reducing the number of the force.
We expect more and better work and
we deliberately propose to lessen the
power to carry out that work.

In regard to the method of providing
for the payment of the Chinese in
demnity, a definite conclusion has not
yet been reached. The suggestion
which seems to meet most favor con-
templates the issue of bonds to the
powers in amounts representing the
sums due each of them respectively,
and the collection periodically from
such income as the ministers at Picking
decide can be exacted without running
the country, this income to be divided
among the powers in the shape of in
terest, in proportion to the bonds held
by them

There has always been a misunder-
standing in the land of the Mikado
about Japanese matters here. Whose in
terest it is to misrepresent matters one
cannot say, but there has been misre-
presentation for years past. At the time
misrepresentation and now there is a
telegram appearing in the last Japan
papers stating that Congress had APP
propriated $500 600 to liquidate the Jap
anese fire claims. 1t is a case of the
wish being father to the thought.

SHOT THROUGH THE WINDOW
Some Party While Standing on the East
End of the Bridge Fires Two Shots
Through the Back Window of the
House Rented by Charley Lung.

Charley Lung, a naturalized China
man, who came here from Cheyenne
a week or two ago, and rented the
building at the east end of the bridge
for a silk and notion store, reports
that someone stopped ON the bridge
last Monday night about 10 o'clock
and fired two shots down through the
west window in that building, one of
the shots coming pretty close to his
head.
There has been considerable talk
among some of the citizens as to what
they would do if this man located
here and Tuesday night a party of
masked men called on Lung and told
him they would hang him if he did
not get out before "a hours.
Lung has been in business in Chey-
enne for some time and from what we
can learn vas an upright man and
well liked.

SEVENTY FEET OF WATER
In Syndicate Shaft-A Pump and Boiler
Secured From the Horseshoe Mime
and Pumping will be Commenced in
About Two Weeks.

j. H.. Davis, who has been working
al the Syndicate mine all winter,
came down from there last week. He
& says the mine has been shut down on
the account of the water which has
risen 10 feet in the shaft. Up to last
week they have used a 81 gallon valve
bucket to draw the water out, and
usually about three bucketsfull would
come in during the night. They put
In a Shot in the bottom of the shaft
Saturday night and when they went
back Monday morning the water was
Be deep that it took all day to pull it
but with their whim.
The shaft ON the Syndicate is 140
feet deep and the water came in so
fast that it was necessary to close
down until they could secure a pump
and engine, which they were ucces
full in doing, having gotten the pump
and boiler from the Horseshoe proper
ty, which is located near the Bridger
mines. The water is 20 feet
deep in the shaft, but is not likely to
raise much more. The pump will be
in operation in about two weeks, when
the company are confident they will
find shipping ore in the bottom of the
shaft. Only a few pieces of ore from
the last shot were taken out, as the
water was coming in SO fast that it
was impossible to do anything, but
what was secured is high grade cop
per ore. There has been no doubt in
the minds of experts that shipping
ore would be found as soon as water
was reached and it will be only a
short time now before the owners will
be able to estimate the value of the
ore they are now in. Near the bot
tom of the shaft they struck a cave
which is about % feet long and about
5 feet wide. There is ore on the
sides of the cave which will run 40
per cent. copper. There is very little
doubt i'll the minds of any who have
e the mine but what it is a shipper,
A cook and bunk houses are now
being constructed at the mine, the
old ones being too small, and L. w.
Hackett is putting up a residence
where he expects to his family
as soon as it is completed. These
buildings are being put up at a spring
which is about 400 feet below the
shaft.

RICHARD ENGLAND KILLED
And John Mole Severely Injured in a
Shooting Scrape at Medicine Bow.
Were Out for Trouble and got What
They Were After.

Sunday night Richard England was
shot and killed and a man by the
name of John Mole seriously wound
ed, by Fl. Amber, a cowboy, in a
shooting scrape in John Lewis saloon
at Medicine Bow.
1t seems hat Amber had been pay
ing attention to Mole's wife and the
latter took his trouble to England, who
is rather notorious for the gun plays,
which he is in the habit of making.
1. Amber, a brother of H. Amber, is
in the employ of England, and Mole
and England went to him threatening
to kill his brother if he did not leave
the town. AS soon as Amber was
notified of their intentions he armed
himself and waited.
About 8 o'clock, as he was sitting
in Lewis saloon, England and Mole
came in, England having a gun in
his hand. Mole started to draw his
gun and Amber shot him twice, one
bullet taking effect in his breast above
the right lung. Mole started fol
home at once. England fired at Amb.
Ter twice neither shot taking effect
Amber then shot him, the bullet pas
sing through the right lung, killing
him almost instantly. Amber then
gave himself up to the authorities
but will undoubtedly be turned loose
as the shooting was done in self de-
fence.
England was well known through
out the valley and he was considered
"A quarrlesome, and when drunk, a
dangerous man. He leaves a wife

EDITOR SUM-

EDIroR SUM-
In you last issue you had an article
referring to a ranchmen who had
been injured while trying to remove
j. c. Teller's ties from his headgate
SO as to get some water into his ditch.
The same state of affairs is general
along the river and Brush creek,
where there is hardly a headgate
that is not jammed with ties. Teller
has shown his contempt for the law
and the people in general. Now let
him pay for it! The penalty in each
case is a fine of $1,000 or more, to be
paid into the county school fund. 1t
only remains for our able and ener-
getic County attorney, Homer Merrill,
to institute the suits in each case to
bring into the county school fund
something like $4,000, and inciden-
tally teach MI. Teller that he and his
family do not own Wyoming, mol vio-
late its laws with impunity. If he
can be taught that IT PAYS to obey the
law and have some regard for other
peoples rights, he will be very likely
to do so in the future, but as long as
he a continue his present course
with imPunity we may be sure that
he will do it. Undoubtedly the same
state of affairs exists on Pass creek.
