MOSQUITOES AND LEPRoSY.

With the suggestion that steps be
taken for the Wiping out of the mos
uuitoes, comes the intimation that the
pests cannot be done away with, as they
breed in the taro patches, and the oil
which will kill them as surely as it is
applied to the surface of the water,
will kill the taro. In this connection
there is a duty in front of the depart
ment of agriculture, which is to find a
substitute for kerosene, in some Vege-
table oil which will kill the mosquito
and yet will not injure the taro or rice
which may be planted in the marshes.
There are surely vegetable oils which
would have the same effect upon the
organism of the embryo mosquito, as IS
ascrihed to petroleum. There would
result from some such discovery q
means of perfectly Kidding the Islands
of the annoyance which has great
effect upon the coming here of visitors
from the eastern states. There can be
no doubt but the presence of such vast
numbers of mosquitoes has the effect
of making visitors very shy of appear
ing among them to dispute with
the insects the right to spend an
hour in the open air of an evening.
Once allow it to be known that the ISL
ands have been rid of the annoyance
of such things and there will be
greater vogue to Hawaiian excursions.
It Is not unwise, too. to look into the
possible results of the continued pres
ence of the mosquito as a distribut-
ling agent of disease. It is felt by many
S'sS-sicians that the leprosy even may
hi oh hlC
made the trip from Kalihi to the city.
Perhaps the learned will say that the
mosquito will not take the journey, but
it is not always the real, but the fan
cied, danger, which causes the people 60
think hardest and shrink from possible
contact with it.
Coupled with this too is the imme-
diate presence, within the city almost,
of the leper detention hospital 1t must
be recognized by the people of Honolulu,
to whom familiarity has bred some
thing of contempt of danger from the
scourge, that the tourist whose pleas
ure seeking is a matter in which they
are interested, to the extent that 1t
would if directed to this city be the
means of stopping many dollars here,
is not anxious to run any unnecessary
risks, and that he is as shy as noun |
tain deer. There is no doubt but the
ignorance of the reading people as to |
the contiguity of Molokai and the prev
alence of the leprosy, the dangers OF
the plague and the presence of mala- |
dies to which they must subject them !
selves to danger of contagion in COM |
ing here, has done much to prevent
greater numbers of people from visiting |
the islands. Once let 1t be known that
the lepers are widely separated from |
the main city, that the mosquitoes are |
being wiped out ana that the city is |
one In which the health of the people is
secure, and there will an immediate in |
fiux of people which will make this a |
more prosperous community and spread |
information of the islands which can |
not fail to be of great value.

Col ]. w. Jones immense water
scheme for the Kohala district, which
has been under consideration by the
Executive Council, has gone over to
next Monday morning, when final con-
clusion in regard to it will doubtless be
reached. The Territorial
government, according to the best au-
thorities, can only recommend the fran
chise to Washington. In
Hamakua district alone this will mean
millions of dollars to the plantations
and settlers. In KOhala it will make
truck farming and other small agricul-
turai industries easily possible"
Trying to give away valuable fran
chise under the name of license does not
seem to be looked upon with favor by
the United States authorities"
And yet singular as it may appear
these quotations are made from the
columns of the same publication.

Candidates Assessed $75 Each as Elk

Candidates Assessed $75 Each as Ex-
penses of Primary Election.
This is the day when the candidates
for ordinary, in the primary that will
be held on Thursday week, are requir-
ed by the rules governing it to deposit
with the acting chairman of the party
their pro rata shares of the expenses
of holding the election.
This deposit they will make to day,
though the acting chairman is not in
the city to receive it. 1t has been in
formally agreed among the candidates
and some members of the Executive
Committee that an assessment of $f5
from each of them will be ample. Capt.
McAlpin has already paid his, and to-
day Mr.. Hartridge, Mr.. Collins and Mr..
Lazaron will follow suit.
1t is thought, indeed, that $500 will
be more than will be needed to con-
duct the election, as the managers and
clerks representing each candidate are
to be paid by him, if they are paid at
all. Most of them, being personal
friends of the candidate they repre-
sent, will serve without compensation.
Each candidate will furnish also his
own ballots, and the fund will be util-
lied principally in defraying the cost
of preparing copies of the lists of quail
flied voters, in certain other clerical
work connected with the election and
in providing dinners for the managers
and clerks. ---- --..--. ----.susz1s-f =

sofia II. rndu.trial branch.

The Pacific Mutual Life of San Fran
cisco has transferred its entire indus
trial business to the Metropolitan Life
and will confne it's writings hereafter
to ordinary and accident business. The
consideration paid for it's industrial
business is reported as nearly $1,000,000.
which is said to be the largest amount
ever paid for risks of this nature. The
industrial branch of the Pacific Mutual
was confined to the Pacific coast, and
handsome profit has been realized on
the sale of the company's industrial
plant The energies of the management
of the Pacific Mutual will now be con-
centrated on the growing life and acci-
dent departments. The amount realized
by the sale of the industrial business
will increase the company's surplus
funds to remarkable degree.
The company has something over 81,
2G0,0 900 assets and a handsome surplus
to policy holders. But by this sale it's
assets will be increased to over So
100000, and its percentage of surplus
will thereby be made larger than that
of any other life insurance company
operating on this coast.
The Pacific Mutual is now doing a
larger life and accident business than
ever before in its history, and this in
creasing business demands and will
hereafter have the undivided efforts of
the company's executives

FAVOR UNDERGROUND WIRES.
Question VIII Probably BE Brought
Tn i'm Council.

The matter of putting the telephone,
telegraph and electric light wires un-
derground on West Broad street, be-
fore the thoroughfare is paved, is well
thought of by Mayor Myers, and men,
bers of the board of aldermen, and
something may be done on this line.
An alderman said yesterday that
probably the most feasible plan would
be for the city to lay the conduit and
force the several corporations to put
their wires in it, Mayor Myers express
ed himself as being in favor of some
scheme to get the wires underground
before the street is paved with vitri-
fed brick. 1t would be cheaper for the
city and less expensive to the COM
panies whose wires are now overhead.
The companies will have to move
the polls now standing some three feet
when the street is paved. and this will
cost considerable. A member of Coun.
Gil says that he believes il would be
wise for those interested to put their
wires under the surface while the
work can be done reasonably The
alderman believes that eventually the
wires Will all have to go underground
and after the paving is done the lay
ing of the conduits would mean large
expenditure of money, and the paving
would in a measure be injured. The
matter will probably be discussed in
caucus by the aldermen at the regular
meeting of Council tomorrow night

The SCHOOLS open
TO-DAY THOUSANDS OFF PUPILS

supt Ashmors tas Issued Final In

Pupils MUST Attend schools in Dis
tricts in which They Live-Chat-

ance of Children VIII BE Largest
in History of schools.
The public schools of Savannah and
Chatham county will open to-day for
the fall term, and thousands of school
children, who have for the past three
months been enjoying all the varied
pleasures of vacation, will begin once
more the not always pleasant ascent
of the path of learning.
Yesterday all final preparations for
the opening of the schools to-day were
completed, and nothing remains to be
done beyond the assembly of the
classes and the resumption of work at
the point 1t was left off at the close
of the last term.
The enrolment in the schools will be
larger than it has ever been before.
Last year and for several years before
room was at a premium and some hum
dreds of school children had to be de-
MED admission. This year the accom-
modations have been largely Increased.
and it is believed that no difficulty Will
be had in admitting every child or
school age in Savannah to the public
schools.
The white teachers of the city
schools met at Chatham Academy at III
O'Clock yesterday morning and were
given instructions as to the conduct
of their classes by the superintendent.
After the general meeting, the teachers
of each school conferred with their
principals as to policies and methods.
A similar meeting of the teachers OF
the country schools was held at IL
O'clock. The teachers of the colored
schools met at IL o'clock at the East
Broad Street School.
Supt. Ashmore stated that he wished
to impress upon parents the necessity
of complying with that rule of the
schools requiring children to attend the
school in the district in which they live.
This rule will be enforced, and chill
dren must be sent this morning to the
proper school in order to avoid trouble
and annoyance.
Chatham Academy was thrown open
to the public from until o'clock yes
terday afternoon, and during that time
was visited by a number of persons,
principally parents of children who viii
enter the schools at this session. They
had an opportunity to inspect what is
probably the best school building, so
far as interior construction is con-
cerned. in the South, and their ex-
pressions of admiration were many
and hearty and apparently sincere.

penderz Company. $364.44. They are rep
resented by Messrs. Alexander & Hitch

vent.

MINISTER DoCKETED HIM
PatrOIman Dwyer Threatened TO Ar

PatroIman Dwyer Threatened 10 Ar
rest the Minister.
IF you don't keep quiet I'll run you
in."
These words, addressed to a minister
of the Gospel. have caused the docket
ing of Patrolman Larry Dwyer for dis
courteous conduct towards q citizen.
The gentleman Of the cloth called on
Mayor Myers yesterday and reported
the incident. The charge was entered
against the officer at once, and he will
be given a hearing to-day The pa
trolman has summoned several wit
nesses who say that he was guilty Of
no improper conduct.
THE minister shook his finger in
Dryers face and said: I'll see Mr..
Jimmie Dixon about you Monday morn
ing and have you fred" said one of
those who witnessed the trouble Satur-
day night.
The incident occurred on Congress
street lane and Bull street where the
Salvation Army was holding services.
The Savannah minister. with a visit
ing clergyman. had been listening to
the service. and the visitor decided to
make talk to those who had gath
cred on the street.
At the conclusion of the minister's
remarks. he made plea for a substan-
tial contribution. that was followed by
a shower of silver from the balcony
of the Oglethorpe Club. Some IS or
50 was gathered up by the members
of the army and the sidewalk was
blocked with persons interested i'm the
proceeding. At this juncture Patrol
man Dwyer arrived and ordered every
body to move on. 1t was then that
he was approached by the Savannah
minister, and the colloquy ensued. The
officer says that he did not know who
the man was that offered to interfere
with him in his duty.
The minister stated that he simply
told the patrolman that the army
would move. and asked that the girls
be addressed as ladies. He states that
Dryers language was uncouth, when
taken into consideration that there are
female soldiers in the army. The in
cident will be fully investigated by the
Mayor to-day, and several of those
who heard the words exchanged will
testify.

Rush to the Scene.
A fight between ward politicians on
Broughton and West Broad streets
last night caused considerable excite
ment, and for a few minutes it looked
as if there was going to be serious
trouble. A telephone message was
sent to police headquarters, asking for
a squad of men to quell riot.
The trouble occurred at 8 o'clock,
just as the night relief was being sent
on the streets, and the patrol wagon,
loaded with bluecoats, Hurried TO the
scene The dash down Oglethrope ave-.
nue. to West Broad street and then to
Broughton was made in record break
ing time and caused pedestrians ana
vehicles to clear the way. Persons
followed in cabs and on bicycles, and
a large crowd gathered. Those who
created the disorder got out of the
way before the arrival of the officers,
and no arrests were made.
In the neighborhood Of Kaiser's Hall,
on Bull and Thirty second streets, a
scrap occurred just before the Collins
meeting convened last night Two
young men who are arrayed on oppo-
site sides had a heated political argu-
ment, which ended in blows. A slap in
the face was followed by the passing
of several blows. Mounted Patrolman
Coffee was notified of the trouble, but
