FOUND SKELETONS
UNDER STORE
ON FORT STREET

Three skeletons, undoubtedly Of Ha.
waiians, were unearthed by Col Lake
on Saturday last while he was making
an excavation within a frame building
on Fort street, opposite Kukui, for the
purpose of lowering the front part of
the floor to make ready for a new ice
cream and bakery business.
Running through all this district is
a heavy deposit of coral and in the
midst of this, directly under the house.
was a soft portion evidently roughly
constructed grave, In which two skele-
tons in all but complete disintegration.
were found. Only part of the skull
of one of these was found intact but
the place where the other bones had
lain could be made out very plainly.
Just makai of the grave was found
another skeleton in much better
state of preservation. The leg and
arm bones with parts OF the skull,
to crumble away. The teeth are well
preserved. This skeleton was in sit.
ting posture, the skull being very
short distance from the surface and
only six inches below the water pipe
that had been laid there.
- The finding of the skeletons was
brought to the attention OF scientists
OF the city and several of these called
at the place yesterday to make obser-
vations. It was their opinion that the
bodies were buried between a hundred
and hundred and fifty years ago.
They found something peculiar about
the teeth and carried these away for
examination,

underground Crimes

This was the subject OF discus
ion at the NJ. E. Church on last
Sunday night. The speaker
dealt very plainly and frankly
with the social vicies Of our city.
1t has been said that this direct
dealing with the consciences OF
the people on the need OF social
purity was very earnestly desired
by some OF NIinot's phyicians.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Jones plain
speech shall have awakened
to some measure the dormant
social conscience Of our city.
Next Sunday evening the sub
iect will be 'Back-Alley Sins,
which will be an equally plain
treatment for the eighth and
ninth commandments.

cises. They were followed by the

and flowers.
