PUBLIC HEALTH
GENERALLY GOOD

Health returns from the different dis
tricts of the Territory. by Government
physicians, for the month of December
have been tabulated by Registrar Law
renee. Amidst a general chorus of
testimony that both sanitary condi-
tions and the public health are good,
there are a few echoes of the almost
universal groans that dengue fever
caused a year or so ago. They are SO
few, though, as to show that the Terri
tory has become fairly rid of the an
noying but comparatively innocuous
distemper.
DR.. R. G. Curtis of Olaa reports 16
cases of the dengue, also II cases of
type of enteric fever, in that
district DR.. w. F. McConkey of Ma
kawao, Maui, reports 9 cases Of the
dengue, and DR.. r. J. McGettigan of
Hama, Maui, cases. Hama is the
only district where tuberculosis is said
to be increasing, a negative answer be-
ing given to the question in that regard
for all the others.
DR.. r. J. Dinegar of Kihei and Kula,
Maui, reports a single case of scarlet
fever. A Portuguese child had it, but
with prompt quarantine nobody else.
Among the suggestions is one by DR..
that school children, through
the teachers, might be enlisted to re-
port unsanitary places.

He Escaped Being Drowned.

The lack of lights on the wharves at
the Eva end OF the harbor nearly re-
suited in another drowning late last
night. A sailor from the steamer Rose
walked off the Hackfeld wharf into the
water. In the darkness he had mis-
judged his position. Night Inspectors
Wilson and RoId of the Custom House
Service heard the man shout and rush
ed to his assistance from the Railway
wharf. They found him clinging to a
slippery pile and by the use of rope
were able to get him ashore.

/ death, but this was not to be until
the sun had risen. He was compelled
to see them carry the wood and pre-
pare the fire upon which his body was
to be roasted alive, and to see the
savage children dancing with glee over
the coming feast.
Just at dawn, when everything was
| ready, the missionary Kekela arrived.
He had heard and had come to protest.
His pleading did no good, and he offer
ed q ransom, but the cannibals We're
inexorable. KekeIa hastened away,
and among his flock gathered up all
the articles of value he could, among
them his own boat and all that he
possessed. With these he finally made
bargain for the life of the American,
though the chief of the cannibal fac
ton was surly. and treachery was
feared, Kekela borrowed a boat, and
unhinding the dazed captive took him
out to his ship. The officers begged him
to go away with them, but to all their
invitations he shook his head. and said
his mission was among the people of
the islands They had to let him re-
turn. What he suffered in the years
that followed only Keke1a knows but
he stayed at his post, and nearly
year after he had saved the life of
the American another ship cautiously
approached the Marquesan islands.
She brought message from the Presi-
dent of the United States thanking
him for his services and rendering him
an invitation to visit the Republic.
With the message came a beautifully
made boat and a gold watch and chain,
with other tokens, aggregating the
value of $500. These, President Lin
coin begged Kekela to accept as an
acknowledgement of what he had done. |
The boat is now worn out long since. |
but the old man still fond1y wears the
watch and chain. He remained many |
years among the Marquesans, and |
came away only when he was compelled |
to for the sake of his health.
Many years have passed and now Ke- |
kela, over four score years old, has
spent a night in q police cell. He did |
not sleep much last night but pro-
tested that it was a shame chat his |
relatives should lock an old man like |
him in Jail. During the night he had |
pains in one of his legs and a native |
boy occupying the same cell greatly de-
lighted him by lonilomi work on the |
painful member.
Kekela's sanity will be inquired into
today.

There will be no extra session of the
Legislature to pass new appropriation
bills. This was practically settled at
the adjourned meeting of Senators yes
terday morning. Governor Carter was
not present, being confined to dem
lists chair until within half an hour of
his departure for the island of Hawaii,
but the conclusion reached by the
caucus was reported to him and, it is
understood, he coincided Herewith.
Auditor ]. H. Fisher submitted a fl
nancial statement to the Senators,
which convinced them that the govern
ment could be carried on, in fairly
satisfactory manner, without recourse
to the Legislature in extra session.
The Governor took this statement away
with him, but its general tenor may be
given in few words.
Current receipts for the past twelve
months have amounted to about 81, 400
600. 1t is figured that the revenue win
run about the same this year and 1905.
The avera ge for the current eighteen
months should thus be about SO, 60O 900.
Against this probable revenue of
thirty-six hundred thousand dollars,
there are appropriations amounting to
forty-six hundred thousand dollars
($4,6OO 000), or an excess of one million.
1t will not be necessary, however, to
expend all of the appropriations. Some

siderable economy in various branches
of the Territorial services.
If the beginning of next year be like
the present time, the receipts for the

or a little more, while for the second

ed, therefore. so as to make the more
prolific half of this year divide means
with the semi barren half of the ensu-
ing year.
''The government can be continued
without much trouble. Mr.. Fisher said
to an Advertiser reporter after stating
the substance of his financial esti-
mates.
THE Legislature meets anyway" the
Auditor continued, five months before
the end of the biennial period, in regu
lar session, so that there will be time
to pass some new measures if particu-
lar appropriations have run OUT

the Governor to go ahead under the
eighteen months appropriation bill 50
far as it is complete, revertfng to the
six months bill as a basis of expendi-
ture for necessary items not contained
in the other measure.
1t is understood that the Governor
consents to having the departments go
ahead uHGsx this arrangement, without
waiting for the determination of test
case in the Supreme Court, which, how
ever, is to be brought as soon as the
General may find convenient.

At the meeting of the executive COM
nlittee Charley Wilson and Charley
Clark both appeared accompanied by
A. G. NJ. Robertson and T. NJ. Stewart,
who represented their side of the case.
The two Charleys tried to show that
throughout the campaign they had been
loyal to the party and had worked for
it. After the departure of Wilson and
Clark and their attorneys, the matter
was thoroughly gone over with the re-
suit that the committee turned them
down.
Then the matter of their successors
was discussed. The names of Sam
Johnson and Col. Zefgler were present
ed, resulting in a choice of Johnson on
vote of four to three.
Henry c. Vida was the choice for
Assistant Road Supervisor.
The selection of man to fill the place
now occupied by Johnson was not TAX
en- up.
Clarence Crabbe, chairman of the
committee, stated after the meeting
that the position of Road Supervisor
went to Johnson unsolicited. He said
that many people had been of the opin-
ion that Johnson had been chasing"
after the job. which was untrue.
VIM. Coney was named in the race
for the Road Supervisorship but he met
the usual Waterloo

in which 1t was presented there would
today be nothing to jar the family re-

still remains an issue.
1t was known in Des Moines the

the selection of delegates to the nation
