THE EYE PESTS ORIGIN.
Granular Disease of the Eyelids Was
Taken Into Europe by Ma
pOleOn's Soldiers.

The prevalence of ophthalmia in the
public schools has aroused great in
terest as to the characteristics of
pest which has caused the board of
health to classify it as a contagious
disease, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser.
DIR. c. Cole Bradley, of this city, was
seen and asked as to the actual con-
ditions with regard to this disease.
"The disease is medically known as
trachoma," he said. SIT is commonly
called granular disease of the eyelids,
for which immigrants are excluded
from this county. Ex-President
Kruger recently underwent an opera
ton for the cure of this disease. 1t
used to be called Egyptian ophthalmia,
and was spread all over Europe by the
soldiers of Napoleon. This is the ter
TOR of all tourists in Egypt. We class
all forms of eyelid disease under the
name of contagious ophthalmia, but
there are other forms of conjunctiv-
tiles as well.
"The main form of the disease is
known as trachoma and cannot be de-
tected on casual inspection. 1t is OF
a most insidious nature. A child may
have the disease for months without
any external appearance. 1t lasts I'M
til the eyelids have become so filled
out with particles that the cornea is
affected and the vision impaired.
Then it becomes chronic, and is ex-
tremely difficult to cure. An opera
tion is necessary as rule, in the
early stages, and therein lies the
necessity of early discovery.
''In 1886 a law was formulated by
the Academy of Medicine for the de-
lection of the disease in institutions
and it's prevention. A very great per-
centage of cases was discovered. |
am the physician at the Catholic pro-
tectory in Westchester, which con-
tains 2,4OO children, from the East Side
in the greater part, and a large per-
centage of whom come from the pub.
lie schools. Although monthly state
ments were sent in to the board of
health, no cognizance of them was
taken, and they were merely recorded,
until DR.. Derby and I, as his assistant,
started to examine two typical pub
lie schools, ADD put before the board
of health the large number of cases.
The proportion in the Catholic protec-
tory and the public schools varies
from IA to 10 per cent. 1t seemed to
me that owing to the constant influx
of new candidates to the protectory
and similar institutions, the only way
to wipe out the disease in this city is
to strike it in the public schools. We
are going through all the schools and
expect to find this high proportion
fully maintained.
''The fact is that this is most dan
gerous and insidious disease. Chill
dren suffering from measles and scar
let fever are sent home, but those with
ophthalmia are allowed to remain and
contaminate the others. I would
rather have my child suffer from
measles than from trachoma. The
fact that the disease gives no outward
indicationd for months is the worst
part of the case"

HACKMEN
ORGANIZE
A UNION
Want Their Rights
Protected by
New Law.
ELECT ]. HARRUB
AS PRESIDENT
One Hundred Drivers Subscribe
to Organization as the
Charter Members.

The Honolulu Hackmen's Union caae
into existence yesterday afternoon with
100 charter members. and already a
complete organization has been effect-
ed, the only thing yet to be done being
the adoption of constitution and by
laws, the>draft for which is expected
shortly from the San Francisco uHioR.
At well attended meeting yesterday,
held at the residence of Hackinan
Rooney, considerable enthusiasm mark
ed the proceedings. The first business
was that of electing the officers ana
trustees, which resulted as follows:
Past President-H. Rooney.
President. z. Harrub.
Vice President-Thos. Quinh
Treasurer George Wells
Secretary-E. H. Paine.
Sergeant-at-Arms- A. Rooney
Trustees-Hugh Rooney, N. Spencer
and ]. Mcclure.
One hundred charter members sub
scribed their names to the organization
and the first meeting will be held to-
morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, prob
ably in the hall of the Hotel hackstand.
The hackmen who have become mem
bers of the union are from the follow
inc stands no Tonanasa or ChinaSa
hackman being permitted to belong to
the same: "319," Union street; '191,"
Hotel Stables; 49, Hotel Carriage Co;
''176," Bethel street; "S4," King and
Nuuanu 1890" King and Fort; ia"
Merchant street
The objects for which the union Is
formed are first of all to secure the
passage of a law preventing the issu-
ance of more licenses to Asiatlcs and
TO give the hack drivers redress against
passengers who fail to comply with the
present the hackmen state that the law
seems to be all on the side of the pas
sengers apE those controlling the hack
men, but they feel that their own rights
are not properly protected under the
law.
The hackmen have gone into the un-
ion determined to make it a strong fac
tor in regulating the hack business and
they feel that they have the support Of
the community.

bfllposters, in three-round set-to on
Thursday evening in the vicinity of the
orpheum and put the latter to sleep.
For several days each has boasted of
his superiority over the other fellow,
although Heine weighs only 105 pounds
and Sherman 125.
Up to Thursday evening both would
be ''pugs" had talked so much of their
prowess that their friends arranged a
set-to. and shortly after o'clock the
two were sent into the improvised ring
wearing 6-ounce gloves. The phone
boy went at his heavier opponent ag-
gressively and in the first round wor-
ried him considerably. In the second
round his left swing began to have it's
effect on Sherman and the third round
proved the latter no match for the little
fellow

THE COMING OF
GENERAL CHAFFEE

The Army and Navy Journal says:
Major General Adna r. Chaffee re-
linquished command Of the Division OF
the Philippines to Major General George
W. Davis at Manila on October 2, and
sailed for the United States the same
day on the transport Sumner. General
Chaffee was escorted TO the steamer BY
a procession which included all the
general officers now in Manila, together
with the members of their staffs and
scores of other Army officers, Governor
Taft, the members of the Philippine
Commission and a great outpouring of
civilians When the party reached the
wharf a salute was fred from Fort
Santiago and the bands played Aud
Lang Syne" There was an affecting
farewell scene between General Chaffee
and his old officers many OF whom en-
braced him. General Chafee's de-
parture from the islands was fastened
on account of Mrs Chaffee. who has
been desperately i'll for many weeks,
and who was so weak that she was
borne 10 the ship in a chair and taken
over the side in a hammock, attached

leisurely trip homeward, pausing hrst
at Nagasaki and then at Yokohama and

peal to them to vote for the Republican
nominees, and vote their ticket
straight. He referred to v,ilcox's fail
ure to get anything for the territory
at Washington, even though the Con-
gress appropriated a billion dollars.
AS to local officers, he showed the in
capacity of the Home Rulers to take
care of affairs, and asked if the work
ing men were willing to permit the
men of the last legislature to over
people to vote for the party which
keeps it's promises.
Representative Kumalae spoke of the
errors of the Home Rulers in the last
legislature, and showed the merits OF
the candidates of the Republicans.
Carlos Long told Of the changes
through which he came to Republican
ism, and urged the voting of the Re-
publican ticket for the good of the Ter
ritory.
Frank Andrade was greeted with
cheers when he arose. and then the
Independents began to howl, and fol
nearly five minutes he could not make
himself heard above the din. Finally
the police compelled order. and Mr.
Andrade spoke at some length. He re-
minded the Portuguese that if they
would follow the advice of Judge
Estee, given when they were natur
allied, they would vote right. This
in his opinion, meant vote the Repub
lican ticket. AS to an Independent, b,
said he was like sheep without fol(
for he would be without a party bacl
of him. He showed that it was TIM
for the Portuguese to weight the argu
ments before them and then decid
upon what they should do. He urget
them to take new leadership and g
forward to prosperity.
Durao spoke at some length. ridicul
ing independent action, saying tn
men now working for an outside can

the party. Furtado spoke of the idea
upon which Republicanism is founded
and urged the people to choose tha
party which was at the head of ma
tional affairs for their own, so tha
there might be advancement. HI
showed that progress had been mad
under Republican rule, and prophesie'
great things in the future.
The Independents who had been rails

remarks went away a short distanc
and held a meeting, securing a few o
their own people to listen to their ma

Marston Campbell Said He Was instructed to
Do the Work Called For Under the
Davies Agreement.

Mr.. Campbell said last night: Il was
with the Improvement of Bridge. street
in August and so notified the road
board, with the proviso that the work
should be done under the supervision of
Mr.. Gere. I instructed the board that
the expense would be borne from the
appropriation for roads and bridges,
Hilo." There was no reference in my
letter to the $4,000 said to have been
paid by Davies & Co., and I had no
knowledge of such a transaction. The
work was not done because Mr.. Gere
reported that the grade of Wainuenue
street was such that if Bridge street
was graded to conform with it, there
would be an abrupt rise where it touch
ed King street. Therefore it was de-
cided to wait until King street had
been made to conform to the new grade
and the matter now rests until the ne
gotiations with abutting property own
ers are completed"
The irregularity in the Davies trans
action is said to have been discovered
by Deputy Auditor Meyers in his inves-
tigation of the books, though no record
of the money could be found. Secre-
tary Cooper has also investigated the
matter further but has not been able to
find the record of the $4,000 in the ac-
counts of the Public Works Depart
ment or in the Treasury. Supt. Boyd
may. however, be able to make salts
factory explanation upon his return
from the coast.
The files Of the Department of Pub
lie Works show that whatever became
of the money, Supt. Boyd had no inten-
ton of coucealment, as the whole
transaction is apparent upon his books
