The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-10-28

Two years ago, when the fire was rag
ing at its worst, the sight of the classic
outlines of the Fairmont Hotel, stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou
sands. When the flames swirled fiercely
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was Just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions Of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of its in
terror How well the building was con-
structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
fire and its accomplishments without a
single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything 1nfammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at cost of over two
million dollars, the work Of reconstruc-
ton went on. Over a million dollars
was spent in interior fnishings and fur
niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak well for the care and taste used
in the selection. The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with a SPLEEN
did reception, to which nearly all San
Francisco came.
The hotel was not fully complete at
that time. Some of the rooms on the
upper floors were not ready, but when
the Palace Hotel Company, which for.
merly operated the old Palace Hotel on
Market street, took hold, determined to
push things through, the work went on
with amazing rapidity. Today, more
than any other building in San Fran
cisco, the Fairmont stands monument

citizens.

are found the special tea and card
rooms set aside for the use of guests
who wish to entertain in a less formal
way. Then there are private dining
rooms, where organizations may meet
around a friendly board. On floor A
is found the crypt, one of the most
unique cafes in existence. IL is in the
corner of Mason and Sacramento and

men of San Francisco. 1t offers COM
Portable grill and bar for men, where
special attention is paid TO the cook
ing of steaks and chops and old cOun-
try dishes. The service here is swift
and efficient, and it is immensely pOpu-
lar as a luncheon place for business
men.
The Fairmont, as it stands today, 10
the epitome of hotel excellence. The
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
COHpdu ndu IN the celeDTaLeu Iaidc8
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
To Colonel John G. Kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of iDstilling into
a brand new house the spirit of hos
pitality which made the old Palace Ho-
tel celebrated in two hemispheres. How
well he has succeeded in doing this 10
evident the moment one enters the
doors of the Fairmont. For the Palace
Hotel spirit of hospitality enfolds one
like a garment, making his visit one
of delight, his leave-taking one of re-
greet, and his memory of the time so
spent one of great pleasure.
The Fairmont Hotel offers to the
traveler~aIl the conveniences and luxu-
ries known to the best modern hotel,
together with many exclusive features,
some of which we have spoken of above.
Every room in the entire hotel has
bath attached For $3.50 one may thus
enjoy pleasant room, beautifully fur
nished in mahogany, with dainty
white-tiled bath; or, for as low as ten
dollars, a suite Of rooms Visitors to
San Francisco may rest assured that at
the Fairmont Hotel they will find only
the best # aceomncd ltions and service.

NATIONAL ANTHEM
IN HAWAII-NEI

News Letter.-Seated on the grass
of the Luneta, listening to the band
playing the "Star Spangled Banner,
the thought is borne powerfully to the
travelling American how little the trem,
endous expansion of the United States
is realized at home. But one short
month ago l heard the same anthem
rendered by the Hawaiian band in En-
ma Square, Honolulu, and a little later
in Guam. Though sundered from the
home land by the diameter Of the globe,
l am still on American soil Though
but four generations old, the Stars ana
Stripes wave over a population of 1907
OO0,O0 people, and the expansion has,
I hope, hardly commenced. The ma
tions of the Orient are convinced at
last of the existence of nation across
the Pacific whose potential capacity,
either in war or peace, is equal to that
of England, Germany and Japan COM
bined, and the arrival of the fleet will
drive the conviction doubly home.
Let the Springfield pessimistsand the
Boston pedant wall over this condition
of affairs if they choose. 1t is none
the less permanent, and the future
status OF the United States as the pre-
ponderant world power is one of the
certainties of tomorrow.

RHEUMATISM.

So little confidence has the average
man in the various cures Tor rheuma-
tism that he often suffers for years
without making any effort to find re
lief. He then finds that it has be-
come chronic. This is a mistake, as
the pain can ALWAYS he relieved, and
in most eases a cure effected, by ap

relief from pain which it affords is
alone worth many times its cost. It

A CONTANT READEI

When the earthquake laid its devas-
tating grip upon San Francisco, Hawaii,
after few incoherent messages, was
cut off from cable communication, and
for days the people in the islands were
left to the torments of the worst that
their fears could conjure up concerning
the fate of their friends in the stricken
city, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. 1t
was commonly reported in Honolulu
that San Francisco itself had been en-
quilted by the sea. Those terrible days
there can never again be repeated, for

HEALTH BOARD
AND TYPHOID
Some Important Reports to Be
Considered at Next
Meeting.

Although no formal meeting of the
Board of Health was held yesterday
for want of a quorum, several matters
of business were discussed among the
members of the Board who were there.
Superintendent Babbitt of the De-
partment of Education appeared before
the Board to bring to its attention the
matter of the school at the home for
nen-leprOus boys at Kalihi. He stated
that at the time the boys were brought
here he had several conferences with
DIR. Cofer. who was then the President
of the Board of Health. DR.. Golfer sug-
yested that what he would like would
be instruction along manual training
lines. and in fact his idea was that the
entire institution should be made sort
of manual training school. In conso'
nance with these conferences, Mr.. Bah
bitt said that he had sent for Mr.. Ma
hiwa. who had made great success
along manual training lines on HaWah.
He had offered the position of teacher
to him, giving him to understand that
he would eventually be given entire
charge of the training of the boys, and
vould thus be given an opportunity to
make a reputation fo- himself. OF late,
however. Mr.. Rabbit said, two or three
incidents had occurred which indicated
either that there was misunderstand-
ing of what the original plans were, or
that there had been a change of poIcy
on the mart of the Board. Mr.. Babbltt
said that he thought careful consld-
Grafton of the whole matter between
the two departments would lead 10
nerfeet understanding, and if the Board
had changed its policy, and merely
wanted a teacher for school hours, he
had other places where Mr.. Nahi"a
oouId he much more useful to the de-
partment.
The matter was referred to the com
.mittee on homes to be taken up with
Superintendent Rabbit.
DR.. Archer Irwin reported thdt h0
had in his care an imbecile japanese
child about three years old. Inc
mother was dead and the father was
nlantation laborer with three children
He asked if there was any institution
in Honolulu where the child could be
sent It was decided that the Board
.of Supervisors of Hawaii would have to
provide for the child.
The committee which has been con-
sidering the systematizing OF the work
of the employees of the Board made
report. containing complete set OF
rples for the governing of heads of de-
nartments and other employees. These
are largely the result of the experience
under the tentative rules inaugurated ,
nv DIR. Golfer, and provide for the re-
and scope of authority for
each of the heads of departments.
At the next meeting of the Board
some reports of great Importance in re-
gard to typhoid will be presented. One
Of these is a report by DIR. Pratt on con
litions at Kahuku, where there have
been seventy-three cases of typhoid
his season, and another is a report from
Hawaii. where considerable typhoid has
been experienced.
