RACE GLEANINGS.

Miss Halle O. Brown, our famous
,locutionist is winning new hOnors
n Texas this spring.
The Boston Enterprise, whose two
initial numbers have reached us is d
irm exponent Of the races progress in
lew England.

so honored in that style.
A colored resident of Montgomery
county, Alabama, has discovered three
ich veins of silver on his farm, and
s said to have been offered more than
S3,000,000 for the land.
Some time since a colored woman
vas advertised for with the informa-
ion that a gold mine awaited her in
Alaska. The lady was found in the
)erson of Mra. Eva Timms, of Alex
,ndria, Va. Her good fortune seems
o be authentic.
Down in Alabama they have been
idnapping Negroes and selling them
the operators of certain business
antures Recently a white Justice
f the Peace, Court Bailiff, and sew
raj reputable merchants were arrest
d for this crime.
The American Guide, of Little Rock,
rkansas, is a vigorous race journal
rhich shows excellent taste in repro
ucing the good things found in The
olOred American. 1t is, however OBJ
oXious to the proper criticism that
. fails to give us credit.
Miss Floretta Vining has some wise
uggestions in The Herald, of Leaven-
|Orth, Kansas, on the conduct of our
IniOrs. She insists and rightly that
arents are too indulgent to their
lildren, and that the impertinence of
re youngsters is purely reflective.
The Women's Negro Franchise AS
OciatiOn, of New Jersey, has issued a
irring appeal to the colored women
that state for sympathy and finan-

re financial report showed the treas
ry in a healthy condition.
"A Remembrance" is the title of a
tile volume which has been received
resh from the pen of Mr.. M. Grant
.ucaS, one of our teachers. 1t is a
ribute to late Commissioner Ross,
nd a number of our SCHOOL room
eadlights. Whatever Mr. Lucas un-
ertakes can be depended upon for
horoughness and good taste.

Scott Jones was sent ana |
spoke IN behalf Of the proposed or

he experience Of other towns that
telephone rates would be cheaper
q, If we had two systems. He
ranted that the ordinance, as
resented, needed amending, es-
ecially in tie clause relating to
axation.
In response 70 question from 4

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
Provisions Made for Additional
School Funds Tele-
phone Franchise
Asked.

The city council met yesterday
afternoon in special session Will
aldermen Dawson, Burton, Wells
IO'Brien, Bishop aud Scoaern pres
ent, together with the mayor, clerk
and city attorney.
The first matter that came up
was the report Of the finance com
mittee relative to providing addi-
tional funds for the school.
City Attorney Melton had al
ready investigated the matter
thoroughly and reported to the
council .sst week He found that
there was available s5t73 which
was levied for the support Of the
waterworks and sewer bonds for
the year 1908 Since the bonds
have not been sold, this amount
was not liable 10 any particular
fund and might be appropriated to
whatever purpose the council
thought best. Mr.. Melton recon- |
mended that s374z.so be turned
over to The school fund and that
si45i 50 be used in making up a
deficiency in the sinking fund Of
the school bonds which was caused
by an insufficient levy in 1902 for
The support Of these bonds.
The report made BY the finance
yesterday concured with /
Ar Melton S recommendations ex-
'ept that it was thought best to
'lace the amounts recommended to !
he credit Of the school funds in
uch way that they could be re- ,
tored 70 their proper place the in !

TEN BOLD ASSERTIONS

Regarding Chamberlain's Collie. Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy.
1. 1t affords quick relief in cases of
collie, cholera morbus and pains in the
stomach.
2. It never fails to effect a cure in
the most severe cases of dysentery and
diarrhoea-
8. 1t is a sure cure for chronic diar-
rhoea.
4. 1t can always be depended upon
in cases of cholera infantum.
5. 1t cures epidemical dysentery.
6. 1t prevents bilious collie.
Z. 1t is prompt and effective in cur
ing all bowel complaints.
8. 1t never produces bad results.
9. 1t is pleasant and safe to take.
10. 1t has saved the lives of more
people than any other medicine in the
world.
These IRE bold assertions to make
regarding any medicine, but there is
abundant proof of every one of the
above statements regarding this RENE
dy. Every household should have

CEMETERIES
BADLY KEPT.
Crowded and Too
Shallow Are
Graves.
Hog Raising is Causing
Sanitary Officers
Much Trouble.
Reports OF Sanitation Service in
Honolulu and Hiio for
Month Of July.

Following is the report of c. H.
Tracy. City Sanitary officer and In
spector of Cemeteries, for the month Of
July:
Six new cesspools have been located
TO be dug.
Three 4S-hour notices have been serv-
ed and the nuisances were abated
within the required time in each case.
Seventeen restaurant, eleven lodging
houses and two hotels applied for GER
iifcates of sanitary condition TO OBJ
tain licenses, and all save one lodging
house were inspected and passed. The
four lodging houses held over fIom
last month are still in hand. One
case is an appeal TO the Circuit Court
for running without a license. 3.14S
adults can by law be lodged IN these
buildings licensed.
PROSECUTIONS.
There have been seven arrests made
and in each case a conviction was Sc
cured. One man arrested for vio-
lating Section 324 of the Penal Laws
of 1897 was fined s25; two hog raisers
who allowed their pig pens to dis
charge into an open stream were fined
'25 each, and third for the same Of
Tense was fined SIG Three different
men, arrested for carrying slops
through the streets in containers such
as did not prevent spilling and Leak
age. were fined SO each. The hog
raising business has grown TO such
proportions that the gardeners are IN
able to take care of the superfiuous
sewage. and we are having consider
able trouble watching out for men
dumping it into the streams and ponds.
This is extremely difficult, for the
many bitches and streams and ponds
are so scattered ard drain in so many
different directions that the source of
a nuisance is hard to trace.
SPECIAL INSPECTION.
During the month my assistant and
1 have made 1928 Inspections and held
half hour meeting each morning
with the inspectors. These inspections
represent visits to premises to investi-
gate sanitary conditions, or are made
to ascertain the necessity or method
of remedying conditions, and are usu-
ally to assist or advise the INSPECTORS.
The districts have been slightly
changed as 10 boundaries and the men
have been changed about in the ma
jority of instances, and one man is
tending to nothing but the hog and
duck ranches and the swill wagons.
BURIAL CONDITIONS BAD.

ments and removals, but have now
gotten fairly good control over the

CRowDING THE DEAD.

Again, in digging graves in the diff
ferent cemeteries. except the Chinese
graveyards. it is glaringly apparent
that the location of bodies is not
known and with few exceptions old
graves have been opened in digging
and as many as three graves have
been exposed in digging for enc. FIRE.
quently funeral viii be stopped until
hole can be Dug in another place
Rock is often struck and the burial
of the body has to be postponed for
a day. This obviously should not
happen.
1t seems to me that the opening of
an old grave is serious menace To
health, especially as it is often I'M
known which body is being exposed
and the particular disease which caused
the death consequently being unknown.
as well as the length of time since the
interment. Also graves are being
dug so close to each other that less
than six inches of soil lies between the
bodies.
Something, it appears, should be
done and should like to have a COM
mittee from the Board OF Health in
vestigate these conditions and make
recommendations for their abatement.
INSPECTION OF SEWERS.
J. T. Herman, assistant insnector of
buildings, plumbing and house sew
ers, reports the following worF for the
semi-monthly period ending August Is:
Number of plans filed 80; permits is
sued, 80; inspections Of plumbing, go:
inspections of new and old buildings,
z; final certificates issued, 80; sewer
connections, 9.
Seven building permits were reCeiv-
ed, of which six were approved One
is held until the premises are put in
a sanitary condition.
HILO INSPECTION.
D. L. Bowman, sanitary inspector OF
Hilo, reports for the month of July that
six 4S-hour notices had been given and
obeyed. A Portuguese was prosecu-
ted for common nuisance, fined and
ordered to put his premises in good
sanitary condition, which he did. Or

In general 20 may be- said that while
the new treaty contains many of the
provisions of the failed uay-Hsrun
treaty it o. not based on that convon-
ton. but follows not only the spirit but
the letter Of the Spooncr act Thus.
instead Of the lease for fixed period
Of the canal strip, this new treaty pro-
vides FOR perpetual grant of the right
Of way TO the United states, and in
stead OF "a complicated provision for
courts of mixed composWion-half
American and half Colomban-to adj
minister Justice over the canal strip,
the new treaty permits this Govern
ment TO exercise the most complete
jurisdiction thereon.
Permission also is given the United
states to fortify the line and the ter
minals, and II may police it with
troops. That portion of the treaty
dealing with the fertilization OF the ter
minals is rather general but sufficient
ly explicit not to be misunderstood.
The cities of Panama and Colon re-
tain their municipal autonomy under
the Republic of Panama SO long as they
maintain public order and sanitary con-
ditions to the satisfaction of the United
SUITS. fduule 10 90 TINS gives the
United States, according to the treaty
the right to force strict compliance
with the wishes of this government in
this direction and the United States
can even use force to compel obedience
to its rules as to public order and pub
4 lie health in these cities.
The money consideration Is the same
in the new treaty as in the Hay-H Her
ran convention, with the exception that
the SlO,00O000 goes to Panama instead
of to Colombia.
The treaty further provides that the
canal is to be neutral and open to all
nations on even terms.
Two-thirds of the treaty concerns de-
tails of administration which while not
necessary to the efficacy of the con-
vention will. it is believed, commend
the ne wtreaty to many members of
the Senate who picked flaws in the de-
! funct Hay Herran convention.
