A DIG NIFiED ANswER.
Bishop Gulstan Replies to oommuni-
cation of Board of Health.
Honolulu, April SOth, 1902.


of Health, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Dear Sir have your letter of the
18th instant informing me that at a
meeting of the Board of Health, held
April ID, 1902, the following resolution
was unanimously passed:
Resolved, That the harmony and the
interests of the Leper Settlement will
lie promoted by the removal of Father
Wendelin and that the Rt. Rev. Ro
pert Gulstan, Bishop of Panopolis, be
requested to remove him FORTH
WITH and appoint some other priest
tc fill vacancy made thereby.
have this day returned from a visit
t. the Island of Kauai. Your letter
was forwarded to me there with the
explanation that the President of the
Beard of Health mad promised Father
vslentin to withhold publication OF
the matter until my return to the city.
am greatly surprised to find that ii
became public property soon after
such understanding was given.
A few days before l left the city fol
the Island of Kauai, and before the
Board of Health took the action, OF
which you inform me, the President Of
the Board called upon me and in the
course of brief interview suggested
that the peace of the Settlement would
be promoted by the removal Of Faith.
er Wendelin. l asked If there were
any charges against him. The Presi
dent of the Board answered that thore
were none. l then said to him, if you
were in my place, could you remove
one, to whom you owe love and care,
without single charge against him!
The President of the Board answered,
mo; he could not; and added, well,
there is nothing for us to do but to
exercise patience.
With these facts in mind, you can
imagine how great a surprise your
letter was to me. am surprised at
the conclusion reached by the Board
without a single charge before it, and
without investigation of any kind SO
far as Father Wendelin is concerned;
and / am more surprised at the per.
emptory character of the demand
made upon me, TO wit: that "removt
him FORTHWITH and appoint some
other priest to fill vacancy made
thereby" In the public reports of
the action of the Board in the case o.
the persons who were found guilty OF
offenses of the gravest character, the
Board did not order them removed
FORTHWITH, but fixed May 1st as
the time for them to retire, giving
them nearly two weeks notice that
they must leave the Settlement; and
yet / am asked to remove FORTH
WITH priest of God, who for fifteen
of the best years of his life has labor
ed among an outcast people, giving
them sympathy and comfort, and
pointing them to the Divine Son OF
Cod, who, when others shrunk away,
touched the Leper and spoke to him
words of healing and of cheer;
priest who is dearly loved by these
unfortunate people whom he has serv-
ed in spirit of self-sacrifice all these
years.

We commend the following to
some of the benighted citizens of
Opelousas: A writer i'll an ex-
change, who is u student of human
nature, says it is not the site Of
the town, but its character, that
makes it a desirable place to live
in. A live and prosperous town
may live and prosper, however
small. Every citizen in q town
should be interested in its pros
perity. One of the ways to help
a town is to speak we'll of it. 1t
is true patriotism to stand by
your town and its interests. As
a man who speaks i'll of himself
and family lowers both himself
and his family, too, in the estima-
tion of others, so does the man
who cares little, for his own town
and community. The man who is
respected by others respects him
self and neighbors, and patriot
ism begins at home. Another
way to help your own town is te
do all you can to beautify it,
Beautify your own property al
you can and then beautify the
streets.

Louisiana, and is surrounded by
rich rice lands, watered by large
irrigating canals. That little city
is rapidly growing, property there
having advanced so per cent. in

bids fair to become the metropo-
lis of Southwest Louisiana. 1t
has a fine bank, good schools,
churches, stores, rice mills and
warehouses, and offers unsur-
passed facilities to any business
enterprise. Its climate is unex-
celled, and 1t is the ideal spot in

locate. At this sale a 5000 lot
will be given away free. Special

More Horrors.

.. Considering the number of dis
asters which have taken place in
different parts of the world lately
one would suppose that the world
is not coming to an end suddenly
but gradually. Since the terrible
upheavels of last week the follow
ing disasters occurred on Monday
last: Nine English tourists were
drowned by the upsetting Of a
boat on the lakes of Killarney;
a hurricane and cloudburst in
India destroyed many lives and
considerable property; in a mine
explosion at Coal Creek, Tenn.
225 laborers were killed; the list
of fatalities in the storm at Go
lad, Texas, foots up 100 dead and
100 injured, the greatest loss OF
life occurring in negro church,
where services were being held,
forty dead and wounded being
taken out of the ruins, not soul
escaping. On Tuesday Mont Pc
lee broke out again, nearly en-,
quilting a party sent to recover the
bodies of the American and Brit.
ish consuls. The eruptions shook
the entire island, and another
great cataclysm seems impending

AS we are approaching the dull

much to do in business circles,
would it not be we'll for the mem

men to devote some Of their leas-

nicipal improvements--especially
sidewalks. With that delectable
sidewalk litigation saddled on our
corporation by the old Board out
Of the way, the new Board will
have a clear field for doing some-
thing in that line, and the people
are expecting them to do it. Let's
have an early start in that direc-

and persistent action. Let the
motto of the new Board be "For-

Splendid Attractions Secured.

The Opelousas Lyceum Club
has closed the contract with the
Southern Lyceum Bureau for a
series of five high-class attrac-
tions to be presented at the Opera
House here this fall, and we con-
gratulate the club and the sub
scribers to season tickets for hay-
ing secured for our town these
excellent entertainments. The
course includes Henry Waiter
son, the great editor of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, who will
deliver his celebrated lecture en-
titled "Money and Morals;" A.
w. Hawks, the laughing philos-
opher;' the Chicago Glee Club,
consisting Of five performers; w.
Hinton White, who will lecture
on some one of the subjects of
which he is master, and whose
beautiful descriptions will be as
sisted by views produced by the
stereopticon; and the Dunbars,
Hand-bell Ringers, q quartette Of
artists from Scotland, who visit
this country for the first time.
Every one of these attractions are
guaranteed first-class, and all who
have the pleasure of attending
them will, we feel certain, be
prepared to add their testimonials
to the numerous fattering COM
pliments already published. The
club has not had sufficient time
to canvass the whole town for
subscriptions to season tickets for
these entertainments, but we learn
that It's seats have already been
subscribed for for each of the five
nights. The subscription books
will be kept open for limited
time longer, during which time
any person who desires may avail
himself of the low rate at which
the season tickets have been fixed.
The tickets will be delivered to
subscribers about Sept. Is, when
reserved seats will be allotted fol

who apply for tickets in advance
of the date OF the first perform
