Noah S
Ark To
MOIOkai
PEOPLE OF SETTLEMENT WANT
TO PURCHASE ANIMALS AND
ADJUSTMENTS OF THE ZOO

Noah's Ark i'm the Sandwich Islands!
This sounds romantic, but is neverthe-
less seriously considered Not that the
old ark of Noah is to be restored, but
that the people of the leper settlement
on Molokai are thinking of acquiring
geological gardens of their own and
want to buy with the help of friends
the animals and pleasure equipment of
the KaimuH Heights Zoo, in event Of
which purpose some inter-island steam
ship would play Noah's Ark in the
transportation of the menagerie from
Honolulu to Kalaupapa.
One of the inhabitants Of Nalaupapa
has started to canvass the settlement
for subscriptions for the purchase Of
the zoo on this island. He wants to
see how much money the Iepers them
selves can raise toward buying the
animals and he hopes that some phi
lanthropically inclined citizens will
come forward with contributions to
make up the difference. The KaimuH
Heights Zoo which is for sale. has
been notified Of the desires and mten-
tions of the people Of Kalaupapa.
The acquisition of a zoo would be a
great means of entertainment at the
settlement. The Kaimukl Geological
gardens at present hold bears, Wild
cats. emus, foxes, possums, rabbits,
guinea-pigs wallabies. parrots, cocka-
toos, donkeys. swans, ducks, geese.
monkeys, pigeons, doves, canaries,
white-mice and lot Of other birds and
beasts.
In addition to the interesting live
stock there is merry-go-round.
skating rink, a camera obscura, see
saws swings and other gymnasdc ma
chinery, all of which would be much
enjoyed at Kalaupapa.

with a view to buying or leasing the
land now occupied by the Geological
gardens, for the purpose it is said, of
establishing there Japanese school or
college.
A. V. Gear, one of the directors Of
the KaimuH Heights Zoo was seen
this morning by a representative of The

The zoo is for sale or lease" said
Mr.. Gear, "and has been for some little
time. There have been various pro-
positions made and one of them Is an
offer from certain Japanese. The pos
sbllity of the establishment of a col
lege was mentioned and I know little
or nothing of the purpose for which
the land is required The zoo has for
some time been unappreciated by the
public and is running at present with
out profit
The zoo land covers a little more
than three acres and is on the Waialae
side of the Kaimuki ridge, on a line
and only a little distance from the land
purchased by the United States govern
ment for fertilization purposes.

To Avert
Yellow
Fever
PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF
HEALTH SPEAKS OF DANGER
AND HO VITO PREVENT IT.

President Pinkham has prepared a
report to the board of Health relative
to the danger of a yellow fever epide-
mic at this place. His views upon
this score are as follows in his COM
munication to the. board this after
noon.
Owing to the improvements under
taken by the Mexican government at
the port of Mexico formerly Coatza-
cOalcos) and Salina Cruz, the ports of
the new Tehuantepec route and the
proposed precautions of the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company and the
United States Public Health and Ma
rine Hospital Service it is very doubt
full if infection from yellow fever will
reach this Territory from this line of
communication
Our danger lies in the irregular and
fore or less irresponsible steamers and
vessels that are sure to touch at our
ports direct, the only precaution pro-
able being interception at our quaran-
tine.
Although l am assured the residents
Of this Territory viii never again lose
their control and cool judgment as in
1S99-190O, it is my belief were a case
of yellow fever to appear off our harbor
er within our city the populace would
| show acute alarm and wasteful expen-
diture take place.
The agent and medium Of yellow fever
infection Is our striped day mosquito
called Stegomia. To its destruction
the board will use its limited means In.
dividual interest and effort is erratiC
and difficult to maintain.
believe it the duty Of the Board o
! Health to at once perfect an organiza
tion to aid in the prevention and sup
preston of conditions favorable to yel-
low fever and to enter active work

About the walls of the rooms between
the large windows overlooking the sea
palm leaves in great profusion We're
placed. Upon these were masks and
bunting symbolic of the occasion. From
all about the room to the chandelier in
its center great streamers of MALE were
strung. Upon these more masks were
to be found.
For the splendid artistic and finaf-
cial success of last nights bal masque
great credit is due to Mrs. William
Montrose Graham, who has been inde-
fatigable in her efforts. She has look
ed after everything and has the satis-
faction of a thoroughly successful af-
fair. d. Howard Hitchcock, the presi-
dent of the League, has likewise been
a worker whose efforts added very
much to the success of the affair.
There are others whose aid has been
indispensable. The various committees
have as a rule done their work prompt
ly and efficiently.

The Mardi Gras came and it was a
great success.
Fully thousand people visited the
Moana Hotel last evening to view and
take a part in the Mardi Gras Car
nival given at that place last evening
by the ladies and gentlemen of Homo
lulu for the benefit of the Kilohana Art
League. Everything went off accord
ing to the schedule and a most enjoy
able time was had by all who attend
ed. The festivities were kept up until
an early hour this morning and it was
only the announcement that the last
car for town was about to leave that
the crowd got away for town.
The Moana hotel was most beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion with
foliage and electric lights. All about
the lanais strings of colored lights were
strung and these strings entwined with
maile the effect being very beautiful.
While the approach to the ball room
of the hotel was beautifully decorated
the main effort was made upon the ball
room itself, here the decorators excell-
ed themselves and formed the large

At the morgue there lies the body OF
a Hawaiian man advanced in years
whose name was Kapono. The

when last seen, in the alley near Loves
bakery shortly after o'clock this
morning He was collecting slops, says
Police officer Luahiwa. Later, going
up Nuuanu, the horses became fright
ened at Chinese New Years hrecrack-
ers and ran away, boiling toward Pau
Oa road.
The old Hawaiian was walking, 1t is
said, without noticing the dray which
is supposed to have knocked him down
and crushed the back of his head,
stones in the roadway making couple
of penetrations. He was removed 10
the Queens Hospital where he died
between and s o'clock this morning.
A newsboy, David Pahi, saw the in
jured man right after the accident and
reported the matter but no one seems
to have seen the accident.
Kapono worked for Edgar Henriques
and was Identified by a handkerchief
bearing that name found in a pocket.

SION. HAD BEEN ENTERED.

By far the most interesting proceed
ings that have yet marked the Lanai
injunction case, occurred this morning
before the Supreme Court when the
motion Of L. L. McCandless the plain
tiff in the case, for decree was pre-
sented for the consideration of the
court, to enable the plaintiff to take an
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States The Territorial Supreme
Court was confronted with the rather
peculiar condition of being asked to
sign a decree, continuing the injunction
when the government had gone ahead
and done exactly what the injunction
was supported to restrain them from
doing.
Supposing that the opinion given by
the Supreme Court in the matter Of
transferring the Lanai lands for other
lands, was final, Attorney General
Peters had advised that the transfer
could be made. But the deal was eff
fected before the decree had been en-
tered by the court. 1t was contended
by Judge Gear and A. G. NJ. Robertson
attorneys for McCandless against Gov
ernor Carter and Land Commissioner
Pratt the defendants, that the matter
was still pending in court until the de-
cree had been filed, and that the act
of the government in making the trans
fer was Illegal.
Robertson presented the motion for
a decree, the decree setting forth that
the injunction, which had been disre-
garded, was continued in force In
reply to questions by Chief Justice

Frear and Justice Hartwell, It was
stated by the attorney, that a long
period would not be required to permit
the appeal to be perfected and the pa
pers sent to Washington. Robertson
stated that about twenty days would
be required as the attorney general
would not oppose that feature of the
matter
Attorney General Peters stated that

concerned he had no objection to Of

"That is the question" said Chief
Justice Frear. "Of course the attorney

On our farm we have made 1t a
practice every spring to set out some

have by planting them in the fall. This
holds good not only with forest trees,
but also with fruit trees ana even
