ENGLISH LORDS
IN LOCAL DEAL
St. Andrews Pri0ry Conveyed
to Protestant Episcopal
Church Here.

Great church and state dignitaries of
England figure as parties in Homo
lulu land conveyance fled in the Bu-
reau of Conveyances yesterday by c.
F. Clemons, attorney, who acted in the
| absence of Judge w. L. Stanley recent
ly as chancellor of the Episcopal church
here
| 1t is a deed from the Society of the
Holy Trinity of Devonport, England,
acting under the express permission of
| the Board of Charity Commissioners
for England, to the Directors of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the Ha-
waiian Islands, of the St. Andrew S
Priory land and buildings. The con-
veyance is conditioned on the provid-
ing of free residence and maintenance,
upon the premises for Sisters Beatrice
and Albertina during their respective
lives. It was executed on December 5,
1907. Judge Stanley, it is said, had
lot of work in obtaining the approval
of all the English parties to the trans
action.
+ As for the document itself, it is got
up in fine shape. 1t is beautifully en-
crossed, proper names being in larger
script than the rest of the text, AMI
bound with pale blue tape. At the
bottom of each page several copies IF
the printed seal of the grantor society
are affixed in row The English sig
natures have red wax seals opposite
them and nearly fill a page. Richard
Westacott, vice and deputy consul gen.
eral of the United States for Great
Britain and ireland, attests, on the con-
sulate general stationery, the authen-
ITCHY of the signature of John Alfred
Donnison, the officiating notary, etc,
there being a bunch of several consular
certificates attached to the deed. Ac-
cording to the English practice, as oc-
casionally seen in probate documents
here, the conveyance is without any
punctuation marks from beginning to
end.
A clearly drawn plan of the property
conveyed is attached, taking in the four
streets bounding the block in the mid
die of which it is situated, viz, Miller,
Emma, Beretania and Vineyard.
1t is likely that few if any convey
ances of property in these islands have
had so much aristocracy, style and cir
cumstance connected with them as at
taehes to this deed of premises con-
tanning less than $4,000 square feet.
Even in number of parties in interest
it is notable, being a fair second N
this respect to the now sleeping beef
trust complaint.
The indenture is made between the
Rev. Robert Alfred John Sucking,
Vicar of ST. Albans, Holburn, in the
county of London, clerk in holy orders,
as executor of the viii of Bertha Turn
bull, deceased, of the first part; and

FIRE ENGINES

Called Out to Subdue Fire in

With Smoke.

The fire which has been burning il

gained considerable headway yesterday
afternoon, becoming so bad at 'clocl
that message was sent to the Cen
trail Fire station asking for help il

their hose wagons turned out and got
the fire under control again. Not much
damage is being done comparatively sc
far by this fire, but the city down town
last night was fogged with the thick
smoke from it, leading many to sup
pose that the danger was much greater
than it really was.
A cloud of this smoke blew into the
lobby of the Orpheum theater just as
the single gong of the still alarm was
sounded at the firehall across the street
and the ushers made haste to close the
big entrance doors to prevent the pack
j
ing to the conclusion that the fire was
close at hand. The shutting of the
door, the evident hurrying of the ush-
ers and the signaling out TO Assistant
Fire Chief Deering, who was in the
house, caused ripple of uneasiness to
run through the crowd. but the scene
on the stage went on without a pause
and everyone settled down within a
second or two without further appre-
hension. The shutting out of the smoke
was a wise precaution and the evidence
of prompt good sense on the part of
the management of the house.
A report from the naval station late
last night was to the effect that the
fire was pretty well subdued. The floor
of the shed is ruined, being charred
by the heat of the smouldering coal.
The coal is part of that brought from
Norfolk and spontaneous combustion
has probably resulted from the wet
ting it has received in the storms of
the past two weeks. The pile is beneath
the shed on a raised floor, allowing a
perfect draught from below. Had the
floor burned through the place would
have been converted into a veritable
furnace, with little prospect of saving
any of the pile and with marked danger
to the piles in the adjoining sheds.
Men had been steadily at work NOV
ing the coal so as to get at the fire,
having reached point yesterday after
noon where they could see the red glow
of tho fire in fhe coal
1t was discovered. however, that the
fire had burned down to the floor
of the shed As there was danger that
the fire might spread through the
woodwork of the shed, line of hose
was carried under the shed to play
on the woodwork but this proved in
sufficient to check it.
GETTING WORSE.
At two o'clock this morning the fire
was reported as having gained on the
workers and become much worse. Ef-
forts to prevent it spreading only were
being made and more men will be put
to work today to shift many more
tons to enable a better fight to be
made.

TYPHOID FEVER.

Within The next few months several
Virginia towns will In all probability
suffer from epidemics, more or less &C.
we're, of typhoid. The question as to
what is the proper procedure 10 order to
control the situation and cut short the
epidemic will be quito those 10 author
ity. The usual assumption Is that the
water is to blame, and the usual proce-
dure is to send sample for analysis,
requesting that it be examined fer the
germ OF typhoid fever.
1; can not be too strongly stited that
while water is so important factor, aud
probably the most important, in the
spread of typhoid, 1t is not the only one,
and particularly 10 this climate it does
not do simply to analyze the water, if
the real cause of the trouble Is ID be
found. There must be in addition a
careful study of the conditions, by one
who is familiar with just that kind Of
investigation. and psiustaking analysis
of a good proportion of the individual
cases in each epidemic, before any opiu
ion OF value can be given.
This department will be glad to make
sanitary analysis of specimens of water,
sent by the proper authorities, and give
opinion as to the quality Of the water, as
far as possible, but it can not undertake
to draw deductions or to give advice as
to the proper procedure from the results
of laboratory examination alone.
The department will, however, make
investigations of epidemics in as many
cases as possible, bringing to bear NOT
only the result, Of laboratory sxamina-
tions of water, but all facts that can be
obtained by a careful inspection of the
circumstances surrounding the epidemic,
and a study of the individual cases of
the disease.
REQUESTS for such investigations may
be made by local boards Of health, or
local governing bodies, and such help as
can be given will be furnished free of
cost to the community as soon as practi-
cable after the request is received
