NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
Loss BY QUARANTINE
Health Officer Replies to
Complaint OF Mrs. Callahan.
Saws She Lost Her Boarders on Account
of Restrictions Placed on Premises
by District Officer.

DR.. William c. Woodward, the Health
officer has reported to the Commissioners
upon the complaint of Mrs. A. A. Calla-
han, of 1881 Street northwest, VINO
stated that her business had been ruined
by the quarantine regulations. He said;
The occupants of premises 1891 Z street
northwest including the complainant, were
exposed to smallpox, on and for short
while prior to April II. They were liable
to soon develop the disease, and, there
fore could not lawfully go at large; neith-
er could the public generally have access
to the premises on which these persons
were required by law to remain. Natur-
ally. therefore. Mrs. Callahan's business
has been stopped This has resulted. how
ever. through no act of the Health De-
partment, but through the appearance OF
smallpox among the occupants of the
premises. for which the Health Depart
ment was in no way responsible.
NO occupant of Mrs. Callahan's premi-
ses, either transient or otherwise, was
elected by the Health Department. One
person who was present in the dining
IOOI at ilile tht NSfN H"s''
antined was allowed to depart. He was not
elected.
with the exception of one or two days
the District government has provided Mrs.
Callahan and other occupants of these
premises with food and fuel during the
entire quarantine period. / know of no
further action which can be taken for the
relief of Mrs. Callahan out Of any fund at
The disposal of the Health Department, and
respectfully recommend that she be in
formed to that effect"
Mrs. Callahan recently wrote to the
District Commissioners complaining that
her business as a restaurant and boarding
house keeper had been ruined by the quar-
antine put upon her house by the District
Health Department. Mrs. Callahan stated
that a child with the smallpox was taken
from the rear part of the house, but that
the family had rented apartments in the
house. and did not come in contact with
the boarders. She stated that the sixteen
days of quarantine caused the scatter
ing of her boarders, and that she suffered
some pecuniary loss from the destruction
OF supplies on hand.
The quarantine on the premises was
raised last Saturday night, no smallpox
having developed during the period.
The officials of the Health Department
state that there is now no reason why Mrs.
Callahan's business should not be resumed
as before.

with the organization, in which the posi-
ton of the association was set forth In

pect duly to receive apprenticeships anu
eventually to become journeymen plumb

'As far as I can judge the people
down here seem to have all the babies
they require and SO they have refused
my friend Ryan's offer to import a
few from the Coast" said Captain
Scott of the bark Gerard c. Tobey, as
he waved farewell to big, good-na-
tured looking man who stood on the
deck of the Zealandia as that vessel
was leaving for San Francisco yes
terday.
who is Ryan,"
u. S; Ryan is a newspaperman Or
he was one. Aseone time he was a
Snowman. Now he is a babyman His
business is to get good homes for babies
that people leave on doorsteps, in the
rivers. and in the San Francisco ferry
boats. It would be a good business if
one had the goods along with him to
show intending customers but Ryan did
not have them. A chidren's home in
San Francisco commissioned Ryan to
come to Honolulu to investigate the
baby market. He came down on my
vessel and was as enthusiastic as a
young dog on the first day after our
arrival here. Then his spirits began to
fall. You see he went to see several
well known people about the baby
matter.
HE did not know the situation very
well so when he asked a man if he
didn't wish to adopt bright, healthy,
even-tempered bit of humanity that
some day would turn out California
beauty, with a Venus form, and the
rebuffs. Then he tried the ladies at
their residences and I think that the
doors which he went up against on that
proposition are slamming yet. You
know Ryan is a fine looking man. He's
got a jolly face and twinkling blue eyes
and when he introduced himself at a
fine house and explained his mission in
a smiling way-welI I will only put it
in a sort of only two loweH topsails set
way, by saying that he escaped with
his life only
"All this happened on the first day?'
Yes. The next day Ryan stayed
aboard ship watching the cockroaches
drilling on the ceiling of the cabin-he
said, you know. that it was pleasanter
work.
He gave up his work them"
Yes, and he said that he would tell
the society when he gets back that he
thought the business of finding homes
for babies could be done better by wo-
men. But you know he thinks that
there isn't much of field here for plac-
ing babies. He says the place is over
run with them. There are too many
here now
Ryan's visit to Honolulu is said to
be the result of some wag sending
letter to a founding home in San Fran
cisco and stating in this that babies
were needed here.
