Us Honolulu going to hell?" inquired
a leading Honolulu banker Of Bull
letin reporter.
Il see Rath says II Is and I'd like to
Know.
This was after Rath had made his
remarks on how the other half live"
IN Honolulu. Perley Horne had also
written communication to the Bul.
letin.
IL occurred to me that ! would like
10 know for myself whether Honolulu
is headed for Hell. The banker wanted
the reporter to lind out. | hope some
day he Will follow my example and go
on voyage OF discovery for himself.
That Is how 1t happened. ! made an
appointment with this man Rath"
and spent Saturday evening wandering
around the streets and back alleys In
the vicinity Of Palama.
Mr.. Rath suggested that we take Sat
urday evening as that Is the time when
the crowds are usually out for what is
pleasure TO them. Although | have
noticed said Mr. Rath, that more
women seem 70 be hanging around the
saloons on Monday evening. ] don't
know whether 1t is coincidence OF
not
Brouaht Back Old DAYS.
The appointment was for s o'clock.
as | understood IL at the junction of
Beretanla and King street. / was there
on the dot, and found no Mr.. Rath.
though as afterward found, he under.
stood the meeting time TO be at 80.
Consequently | had a few minutes TO
look around. | don't pass through Pa.
lama frequently on a Saturday night
but from my occasional observations il
was apparent TO me that we were TO
view no boisterous Saturday night
crowds. AS | stood there by Juen's
saloon holding up telephone post, II
was SO quiet my thoughts turned back
