Mr.. Freear says with regard to In
dia that only those who have traversed
the country and have been privileged
to visit the palaces of the princes and
attend their numerous festivals, can
understand or realize the magnificence
and wealth connected with the maha-
rajahs Cor native princes.) Imagine
the maharajah of Patiala, with forty
silver carriages; the Gaekwar of Baro-
da, with diamond carpet, solid gold
armory and seven palaces in and a
round Baroda; the maharajah of Scin-
dia, with his amber palace and crystal
staircases; the maharajah of Mysore,
with dozen silver fountains in his
palace emitting perfume. also his sill
yer and ivory doors and ceilings; the
maharajah of Travencore. with dia-
monds, rubies, sapphires, turquoise,
pearls. etc., sewn into his wearing
apparel, and you will have a faint
idea of some of their extravagances.
All these things 1 have seen so can
vouch for their truth, and they are
the most delightful men one could
meet, genial and sociable. without the
slightest trace of affectation or POM
posity, so common in the smaller fry.
All should make a point of seeing
this eminent performers entertainment
on Saturday of this week. if only out
of curiosity. especially since the charge
is within the reach of all. and enter
tainment as unique as it is wholesome
and entertaining.
You will laugh as you have never
laughed before or ever will again.

1t was a feeble response in point Of
numbers which was made to the call
of the Mosquito Campaign Committee
for yesterday afternoon. What was
lacking numerically. though. was
largely compensated for by fertility Of
ideas suggested and adopted.
DR.. Cooper, chairman, presided. with
him being present P. NJ. Pond, p. r.
Helm, d. L. van Dine and C. H. Tracy.
There was no report but of prelim-
mar work from the committee to
raise funds, hence no appointment of
a man to take charge of the work
was made. 1t was agreed that rec
ords should be kept, the head of the
work to attend to that duty.
DR.. Cooper submitted the draft of a
circular to be sent out today with the
other one appealing for subscriptions,
which was adopted and is printed be-
low. In the same line of publicity it

cles OF advice in newspapers of all

committee. the chairman being in
structed to write the invitation. In
the same connection, on motion of Mr..
Pond, it was voted that a problem
subcommittee be appointed, to con-
sist as much as possible of persons of
scientific turn. DR.. Cooper deferred
the appointment till next meeting.
Mr.. Pond suggested the arranging of
contests between different inspection
districts of the town for the honor of
being most free from conditions en-
couraging to the mosquito. He also
preached the idea OF publishing the
names Of householders who ignored
the efforts at having them keep their
premises clear of mosquito breeding
nuisances.
Many other suggestions that may
become OF practical account in the war
were thrown out in general conversa-
ton.
The meeting adjourned until D. m.

A petition from Miss Kuaole and A.

McVeigh for report.
DR.. Henry Hayes wrote to say he
had resigned from Olaa plantation and
was going to live at Hilo, and as he
still believed the Government physician
should be a resident of the district he
rendered his resignation.
DR.. Cooper suggested that if DR..
Hayes was leaving Olaa at once, DR..
Curtis should be appointed in his place
beginning duty on September 1. If,
however, DR.. Hayes was not leaving

Board there would be no offensive re-

President Cooper stated he had visit

would never be chosen for residence

mending that the application be grant

DIR. Pratt read a report of his recent
official trip to Hawaii and Maui, which
was largely of a confidential nature.
Some of the statements were recon-
mended by the president to be con-
