Hr-1l
With the growth OF medical science
within the past few years has come
q wider and closer knowledge Of
that dread disease, consumption, and
the campaign against its ravages Is
being caraied on vigorously and in
diligently in most cities and states,
says an exchange. II is this knowl-
edge that has been responsible In
most municipalities for ordinances
against public expectoration, and
the campaign Of education has been
so widespread that most individuals
have come TO feel the responsibility
in the matter.
But it has remained for the State
oil Texas TO take the most advanced
step in the war against the white
plague" II is announced that the
governor Of Texas will soon issue q
proclamation declaring tuberculosis
to be an infectious disease, and pro-
hibiting the railroads from bringing
into Texas any person afflicted with
it. Nor is this to be the full meas
ure Of prevention, as we understand
the matter. All diseased persons
are to be detained, and, if found to
be suffering from consumption, are
TO be deported. Houses in which
consumptive patients live are to be
placarded, as they have been for d.
scase like smallpox,
This ID an advanced step, indeed.
According to the physicians, a very
largo proportion Of our population
is afflicted to a greater or less degree
with tuberculosis, and II the remedy
proposed by the State Of Texas 10 to
become universal it ID bound to
bring about great changes in COM
mereial and social affairs, More and
more are we coming to an ago when
the good Of the greatest number Is
the handspring that moves us in
making laws and regulations. 1t
does not seem, however, that con-
sumption is one of those diseases
that may be easily checked by inter-
state regulation. It's outward and
visible signs are often entirely lack
ing, and it is not likely that Ameri-
can citizens, even to prevent the
spread Of such a disease, will be will
ing TO submit to constant examlna-
ton by health officials. To auaran-
tine Texas against consumption is q
a task that may well awe the officials
Of that State, and il the governor
should issue his contemplated order,
it seems likely to work more harm
thai good.

THE CEREMONIES
OF INAUGURATION
GOVERNOR CARTER is BETTER
AND WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE
TO ATTEND.

Governor Carter was still too i'll to
be at his Office this morning, but his
condition was reported to be better
and it is expected that he will be able
to take his part in the ceremonies at
tending his retirement from office ana
the Inauguration of Chief Justice Frear.
Chief Clerk Conkling took large num-
Der of official papers to his residence
for signature this morning.
! The Inauguration ceremonies will
commence in the Throne Room &C 1880
o'clock instead of at 10 o'clock as was
at first announced. This was done
in order to allow time for the cere-
monies attending Judge Frear's retire
ment from the place as Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court and the reor-
ganization of the court with Associate
Justice Hartwell advanced to position
of Chief Justice, and S. M. Ballou to
a place on the bench as Associate JUS
tice.
The complete arrangement for these
several ceremonies have not been ar
ranged in all details, but probably VIII
be by this evening.

was in such serious condition that the

miles out the danger of proceeding

transport department declared the ne
cessary repairs would occupy several
days, but new tubes were installed by
the morning of the 5. The Logan left

AFTER THE SCALP
OF LUCAS OF HILO
REPORT SENT TO WASHINGTON
CHARGING VIOLATIONS OF LAW
REGARDING SAILORS.

Reports were sent to Washington in
the last mail concerning an investiga-
ton made by United States Shipping
Commissioner H. N. Almy into the al
legged irregulariry of Saloonkeeper X
A. Lucas of Hilo in matter Of certain
allotment notes issued in his favor by
a number of sailors Of the ship John
Ena which sailed for the Atlantic
coast from the Hawaii port.
U. S. Shipping Commissioner Almy
received information from Hilo that
seven notes for $50 each had been
made out to Lucas by sailors Of the
ship John Ena and that these notes
were not for what was originally sup
posed to be the consideration. The
law seeks to protect sailor from him
self by arranging for the pay of his
board and lodging and clothes by a
note the amount of which is intended
to be taken from his wages, thus pre-
venting him from spending his money
in advance on liquor and riotous lip
ing.
1t is alleged that the notes were not
for what they should have been.
Gehr was deputized by Almy to inves-
tigate and ascertained that some of the
sailors had been in Jail good portion
of the time that the ship was at Hilo
and that therefore Lucas had had no
opportunity to go to any expense on
their account for board. Fines for
some of the seamen had been paid by
another man. The sailors who had
been in Jail were frequently arrested
near Lucas saloon
When Lucas got wind OF the inves'
tigation he went, It is said to Collector
of Customs and Shipping Com
missioner Baird and got back the
notes and duplicates thereof which
had been Issued to him by the aailorI
OF the ship John Ena, giving notlc'

ALL THE OFFICIALS
HENRY e. CooPER's PICTURE is
ADDED TO THE CAPITOL'S OF
FICIAL GALLERY.

J. A. Wilder, the we'll known artist,
is at present painting a partrait OF
H. E. Cooper, which is to adorn the
walls of the office of the Secretary oil
the Territory. The picture will be
completed in a day or two and ready
to hand in its place.
The picture is the first of several
which are to keep it company, accord
ing to the plans of Secretary Atkinson
which are just now being carried out.
The idea, in common with the custom
in many states, is to have the pictures
of the various governors and secre-
taries of the Territory, to in a way
form a part of their record and to De
hung in the offices over which they
had presided. Judge Cooper, who was
the first Secretary, during Governor
Dole's administration is therefore the
first of the Secretaries to have his pic
ture placed in the Secretary's office Ii
is the intention to secure good pictures
of Governor Dole, Governor Carter
and Governor Frear in their order. and
of Governor Carter (who for a time
was Territorial Secretary under Dole)
Secretary Atkinson, and Secretary
Mott-Smith for the Secretarys office.

ROUND TRIP BY
SAILING VESSEL

ALAMEDA, Aug. 3-Miss Marguerite
Winant, a well known Alameda girl,
has just returned from an unusual trip
to Honolulu. She made the round trip
by sailing vessel, taking passage on
the r. P. Rithet and travelling in COM
pany of Mrs. ]. r. Sloan, Miss Vira
Sloan and Miss Jessie Craig Of Berke-
ley. With favoring winds the Rithet
sailed down to the islands in eighteen
days, but occupied twenty-eight days
on the return trip.
Among the noteworthy happenings
of the trip and visit in Honolulu was
the meeting with the American Con-
gressional party, on its way home from
the Orient; being entertained by Hem

Within three months $4,000 tons Of
coal for the United States Navy will
be discharged at this port.
Contract calls for the delivery here
of 1000 tons at least within the per-
iod mentioned and it is believed that
the balance of the $4,000 tons expect
ed will be diverted from shipments
originally intended for the Coast, in
fact there is the possibility Of $4,000
tons of coal, besides the $4,000 refer
red to, being delivered here before
Christmas, being diverted from ship
ments scheduled for San Francisco.
Honolulu will be able to coal al fleet
scheduled for San Francisco.
In line with this local information is

include more than 80 sailing vessels
all large carriers, and about 40 tramp
steamers, and altogether the fleet will
bring across the Pacific to this port
about 25O,O0O tons of coal, which will
come in very handy during the wintei

HAS GONE AWAY!
MARTIN LEAVES HONOLULU AND
PUBLIC OPINION" LOSES AN IN
FLUENTIAL MOULDER.

The Bystander" left Honolulu to-
day and is reported to be going to
new goldfields. On the passenger list
of the Hilonian, leaving for San Fran
cisco at ten o'clock, was the name or
j. S. Martin, who is known not only as
the Bystander but also as the head of
the Third House, President of the
Chairwarmers' Association of Notes
Annex and all round director of local
public opinion.
Martins tailor shop on Fort street
long ranked with Notes restaurant as
a place where citizens gathered to talk
politics, to knock" the government
and each other, and engage in the dis
cussions which make the policies OF
political parties, and make and un-
make candidates and officials. Every
day for a couple Of hours at noon, the
Martin establishment had a session
just like the governors table" in Mol
te's and the Third House under the
Capitol monkeypod tree, and many a
famous discussion took place at Mar
tins
The genial Martin was always in the
verbal fray, and few could Guido him
in radicalism of views or expression.
Recently the place was closed, and
Martin has been preparing to leave.
AS the "Bystander" Martin enjoyed a
| lot of quiet fun. Shortly after that
mysterious individual began to write,
there were inquiries as to his identity.
The reply was publication of a nice
sketch of ]. s. Martin, scissors and all,
and the public was satisfied
Martin will be missed by many
friends in Honolulu, who hope that he
will strike a gold mine in Nevada and
come back and start a new tall1fest.
