MONTHLY MEETING HELD.
Citizens Association Representing
Bloomingdale and LIE Droit Park.

The Bloomingdale and LIE Droit Park
Citizens Association held it's first regular
| monthly meeting last evening, at the Office
of T. NJ. Haislip, corner Of LIST and V
streets northwest. While the association is
only one month old, its growth Is reported
to have been remarkable, and it already
numbers nearly 125 of the prominent resi-
dents of the sections in its jurisdiction,
which includes Bloomingdale, LIE Droit
Park, Moore & BARRIERS Addition and Dob
bins Addition.
Considerable business Of Importance to
the rapidly growing section covered by the
association was presented and referred to
the appropriate committees. AS some Of
the committees are not yet completed by
President Emig, the amount Of business re-
ported and acted on was not as large as 1t
would otherwise have been. Favorable
and encouraging reports were received as
to the probability that Congress will grant
the petition of every citizen interested, and
make the appropriation for the paving of
Rhode Island avenue from LIE Droit Park
to list street at the present session.
Other matters of general interest were
discussed, and progress reported thereon.
President Shoemaker Of the Brightwood
Association was present as a visitor, and

History of the Disease.


Leprosy first arrived in Hawaii about
1850, in the person of chief who had Wis
tied China. From him 1t spread to his in
Inmates and dependents in Lahaiua and
Honuaula on Maui. It's real nature and
name remained unknown until Dr. William
Hillebrand. visiting the orient, identified it.
BY 1850 its presence became conspicuous
In the swollen faces and ears Of many ma
tives in Lahaiua. Soon after that an i'm
perfect segregation and deportation to Mo-
lokai began to be exercised This was
never thoroughly efficient under the old re-
gime Of the natives although 1t undoubt-
eddy checked the spread of the disease to a
considerable extent. King Lot Kameham-
cha V harbored large nest Of his leprous
dependents at his place at Waikike, and
was himself a leper with swollen features
King Kalakaua actually drove a profitable
trade In permits to lepers of the lower class
exempting them from arrest! l well knew
TWO very prominent native gentlemen from
Whom that king exacted valuable properties
In consideration Of their escaping Molokai
But kalakaua was exceptionally devoid Of
nonor and OF that personal sense of eleva-
tion which characterized the Kamehame-
has. Under such conditions it Is easy to
see now leprosy necessarily increased. That
was only one of variety of evil conditions
which necessitated the overthrow of the
monarchy In order to maintain decent civ
iliZatiOn.
Another very disturbing set Of recommen.
cations by the three senators relates to the
system of disposng of the public lands.
Their views are entirely adverse to those
OF all men experienced in the business of
these Islands. Our land system is the
natural outgrowth of the very peculiar con-
formation of the country. the greater part
OF which is completely broken up by ridges
and ravines. and where great stretches of
useless desert meet dense forest tracts,
which should not be destroyed But the
subject OF our Hawaiian land system is too
complex for it's treatment to be attemntHS
ever so briefly in this letter. Any change
or amendment in 1t should be made only as
the result Of careful and thorough study.

Inefficient Segregation.


There can be no doubt that the previous
thirty years Of inefficient segregation left
the disease to spread and actually increase,
SO that in 1893 there was actually a larger
percentage of lepers among the natives, to
whom the malady was almost entirely con-
fined. than at any previous date for thirty
years. 1t will be noticed that during that
thirty years the native Hawaiians had
dwindled nearly one-third in number. while
the number Of lepers was but little dimin-
ished. Now the percentage Is steadily d.
minishng, although the average lives Of
the lepers are much prolonged, owing to
improved medical treatment and nursing
So far nothing has been accomplished for
the cure of leprosy. Various Wanted rene
dies have been faithfully experimental
with. but with only temporary abatement
of the malady and no permanent result.
Yet Hawaii is not at all behind other coun-
tries in these efforts or in their lack of sue
cess. Very much, however, Is accomplished
in relieving and mitigating the disease.
The nearly exclusive confinement of lep-
rosy to the natives is owing to their being
strangely devoid of any sense of need of
precaution against any communicable dis
ease whatever, as is well known in respect
to smallpox, syphilis and other contagious.
In the case of leprosy the natives have no
thought of precaution. They heedlessly con-
sort in the utmost intimacy with lepers
however advanced the disease. / have seen
them dip their hands into the same dishes
with lepers, drink from the same cup and
pass the same pipe from mouth to mouth.
They freely exchange kisses and sleep in
the same beds with them. Medical investi-
cation has determined that by far the most
ready means of communicating the disease
Is through the saliva of the mouth, in
which the bacillus leprae is most abundant.
1t was thus that two infant children of a
well-known white family, some thirty years
ago. contracted leprosy from kisses Of a
native nurse III Honolulu. About as long
ago l was intimately acquainted with the
cases of three Hawaiian girls, who devel-
oped leprosy in their teens in consequence

rapidly spread.
