A DEFINITE PLAN
FOR MAKING OVER
THE FISHMARKET
Failing to Have Submitted to Him a Tangible
Scheme, Supt Marston Campbell Is
Having One Designed.

A plan for the transformation of the
Alakea street fishmarket into a place
where entertainments of all kinds can
be held, is being prepared in the office
of the Superintendent of Public Works.
In spite of all the clamor for the fish,

and all the pressure brought to bear
on the department to have the build
ing turned over to one organization or
another, no definite plan has been sub
mitted to the department for the rear
rangement or transformation of the
building.
Superintendent Campbell has there
fore determined to have design pre-
pared and submit it to the COMMITTEES
of which F. B. McStocker is chairman.

Department to call one of the new

or even a torpedo boat. He brought
up the matter at the meeting of the
committee yesterday and planted the
idea into the minds of all the other
members, where it has taken root.
The desirability of having a naval
vessel bearing the name Hawaii on
her stern appealed to everyone at the
meeting, but it was thought that any
communications to the authorities in
the matter either requests for informa-
tion as to how to begin work on get
ting the matter up to the attention of

Dr.. Currie Points Out the One
Safeguard for Honolulu
3 Against Plague.

/ DR.. Donald H. Currie, u. S. Marine
| Hospital Service, who is regarded as
| the best-informed man in the service
! in the matter of bubonic plague, ad-
dressed a large gathering in the lec-
ture-room of the Central Union church
last evening as one of the speakers
in the series of talks arranged by the
local branch of the Red Cross. Justice
Ballou presided at the meeting and
introduced the speaker, whose address
on Plague was listened to with the
closest attention.
DIR. Currie went into the subject
deeply, although at no time becoming
too technical in his expressions. He
outlined the history of the pest which
has afflicted the world since the be-
ginning of history, the figures of the
mortality quoted being appalling in
their largeness, the present death-rate
being an evidence of the better knowl-
edge of the disease and the better con-
ditions of living. The great outbreak
which swept Europe in 1s47 to 1851 for
instance, carried off twenty-five mill
lion people, destroying one-half of the
population of England and Wales.
The old writer's recorded that a great
mortality was observed among rats at
the same time that it existed among
human beings, or more often preceded
the outbreak among men. They SEEM
ed to clearly understand that the rat
conveyed the disease, and attempted in
vain to arrest it's progress by destroy
ing these rodents by means Of pet
snakes, cats ant arsenic. 1T is not
consoling," said the speaker, ito think
that the destruction of the rat is also
our chief defense against the disease
today
THE present outbreak began in the
Province of Yunnan. China. where 1t
had existed for several decades or
longer. 1t began to show increased
virulenee in 1890 and slowly spread
from there to the river upon which
the city of Canton is situated and
reached Canton city early in 1894, f1ve
months later appearing in Hongkong.
That city, owing to it's commerce, has
acted as a distributing depot ever |
sincs, and from it, either directly or
indirectly, it has spread to Fery
large part of the worlds seacoast. /

India, the adjacent islands, several

CHE IA BANKERS ARRESTED.

Four alleged che-fa bankers were
nabbed by the police yesterday. all of
them being well known from former
arrests for the same thing. With the
four We're seized a bunch of che-fa
tickets and the books kept showing the
daily operations of the hui. The ar
rests were made through the work of
Special Officer Townsend, who has
been trailing the agents of the hui for
the past two weeks in an endeayor to
locate their principals. Those cap
tured yesterday are believed to be the
principal agent, the bookkeeper of the
gang and two of the bankers, although
the head one of the. hui slipped from
the fingers of the arresting officers.

~SOME TWELVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO BE GIVEN AWAY

There is something like 900 to be
disposed of for some good purpose if
only something like representative
number of the forty members of the
American Relief Fund Society can be
gotten together.
The American Relief Fund Society
was organized by A. j. Cartwright and
some of his fellow Americans in the old
DAYS when every non Hawaiian ma
tionality in the Islands had its colony,
and felt its own particular brand of pa
triotie glow and ardor and national
pride The object of it was, as the
name indicated, to secure funds and ap-
ply them for the relief of INDECENT or
luekless Americans who needed it. At
one time the society was quite numer-
GUS, and included most of the Ameri-
cans here. That was in the days be-
fore we We're Americans. Interest in
the society began to wane before the
receipts of the society did, and while
meeting of the society for a good many
years; probably not since annexation,
the society has accumulated the very
respectable sum of something like
$4,000.
At the time of the organization of the
United Charities, the American Relief
\ Fund Society affiliated with it and
<Sted S25 month to the United Chari-
ties to be used in relieving the needs of
such as came within the benefactions
of the original society.
A meeting of the American Relief
Fund Society was called for last We'd
nesday. The treasurer (Robert Lewers)
sent out postal card announcements of
the meeting to every one of the forty
members Four attended the meeting
What should be done with the society
and with its funds was talked over
then. 1t was agreed that there is not
the need of the society that there was
at the time it was organized, and that
there continued to be until annexation
made the whole country American.
1t was suggested that no wiser dis
position OF the funds could be made
than to give them as an endowment for
the United Charities Society. The work
of that society includes every purpose
for which the funds were secured. To
give them as an endowment will, in the
opinion of Bruce Cartwright, Robert
Levers and Others of the society CON !
tinue them at work for the purpose for |
which they were contributed At pres
ent, except as to the monthly allow
ance to the United Charities, the funds
are doing nothing but accumulate. To
dispose of them as proposed will set

When 1t Returned From the Scene

George X. Foye. who represented
the local LHigh school in the Ohio
| State oratorlcal contest at Findlay
| Friday evening won third honors
for his class. The first honors In
the contest went to Herbert Crane
of Kenton the second to Miss
Mayme Morrow of Ada, and the
third to Mr.. Foye, who received a
grade OF sixty seven per cent in the
contest.
A large number OF local High
school pupils went to the scene OF
the contest Friday and over two
thousand students were In attend
ance from the various eleven coun-
ties OF the state represented. Prof.
II. L. Frank, superintendent of the
local schools accompanied the
rooters from this city. Interest and
enthusiasm ran high in the con-
test and as 1t was one in which
much talent was shown credit
is reflected on the local school to
have had representative and win
honors.
Mr. Foye Is one of the most
brilliant and popular OF his class.
He is a senior student and a
member of the graduating class this
year and was participant in the
contest held at the local school
some time ago in which he won
second place. Mr.. Foye selected as
his theme for the evening "The
Needs of the Age.''
A particularly interesting feature
of the day at Findlay were the ef-
forts of the w. c. r. u. to have
the saloons OF the city closed for
the day. II was thought for
time that trouble would result IL
the mayor failed to comply with
the requests of the ladies so
earnest we're they in their efforts.
Mr.. Walker, mayor of the city,
promised to arrest all boys under
age caught in saloons during the
day and the matter rested.
The judges on the occasion of
the contest were w. Vance, OF
Delaware and Professor Cockrell,
OF Ohio State University.
When the rooters at the contest
from this city arrived in the city
this morning they were given an
ovation by members of the school
and the faculty. This is the first
instance when the local school was
represented in a state contest.
Among those who went from this
city were buray Mouser president
OF the graduating class, Fipwry

Odaffer, George Thompson, George
