POOR HAVE NO
BURIAL PLACE

The necessity for "Potter' s FieldD
in which to bury unfortunates who have
died without means to pay for inter.
ment, or without relatives to see that
the last duties to the dead are properly
performed, was brought to an Issue yes.
terday when the attention of High Sher.
if Henry was called to the ease of a
man who had died in abject poverty.
The High Sheriff was asked to see that
the body be placed underground.
For years the burial of penniless and
friendless persons has developed upon
this or that department of the govern,
ment but the responsibility for it has
never been definitely settled, and in the
end officials, out of the kindness of
their hearts, have had to dig down into
their pockets and pay the expenses
Sometimes the High Sheriff is called
and sometimes the police department
Generally, there is cooperation al
around. The police will take the body &c
the morgue, the Board of Health will
provide a coffin, the High Sheriff will
have prisoners dig the grave, and SC
on; but the worst of it is that all
these poor have to have penal sepulture
"These unfortunates have been
buried in the prisoners plot" said
High Sheriff Henry yesterday, "but
that plot is getting too full. Anyhow
it is net right for the honest poor to
be buried in plot set apart for con
victs. Therefore, a Potter's Field SHOULD
be provided. 1t is up to the Legislator,
/ to provide ways and means to bury tn,
poor, or up to the new city government
There should be fund provided by
| some branch.
High Sheriff Henry has called the
matter to the attention of the Governor
who in turn referred it to the consid
Grafton of the Attorney General. Tht
latter gave it as his fat opinion tina
the Territory could not expend none,
for this purpose, unless by special provi
sion, no matter how great might be tn
need.

KONA HOLUA
At WA|ALUA

While Honolulu was visited yesterday
and the evening before by mild Kona
the Waialua and Koolau sides of this
island were involved in violent storm
which did considerable damage, espe-
cially in the Waialua section.
From Waialua comes the report that
the vicinity of Manager Goodale's resi-.
dence on Waialua plantation was badly
torn up. The trees around the house
were broken down, fences likewise, his
papaya orchard was ripped out and
many small laborers' houses were cap.
sized. There was damage all through
the district. Algaroba trees fell easy
victims. From Kaneohe reports come
of a hard blow throughout that section,
but the damage was slight.
w. r. Castle, who has kept tab on
weather conditions in Oahu for many
years, states that very frequently while
there is slight Kona on this side of
the island, the Waialua and Koolau
sides are visited by violent blows, which
the Hawaiians call Kona holua. The
wind after sweeping in from the sea,
over Honolulu reaches the ridge of
mountains and then swoops down over
the Koolau side with peculiar dip
which carries damage in its wake.

KERRIGAN WAS
HERE ON VISIT

The detective who chased the ia.

landed him in Hardin, Siberia, and
who, was in charge of Puter, another
timber-land fraud, for three months
while he was in Washington, depart.

yesterday afternoon on the Manchuria
after brief visit here with his daugh.
ter, Mrs. w. +. Lehigh. Mr.. KERR.
gan was accompanied by his wife.
For twenty years Mr.. Kerrigan has
been employed at intervals in the
United States Secret Service, and up
to few months ago he was one of
the members of the bureau which is
now making the trouble between the
President and Congress.
Nearly thirty years ago Mr.. KERR.
gan was in Honolulu following up q
clue in case which had its incep.
ton on the mainland. Mr.. Kerrigan
stated yesterday that he could not
refer to the matter in any way that
would identify it. He stated, how
ever, that it was nothing local. He
has made Ave trips to Honolulu.
A few years ago when Mckinley,
the land fraud, was wanted, Mr.. Ker-
rigan was put on his trail. 1t led to
the Far East and over much territory
there. Mckinley appeared to be I'D
vised continually, for he doubled on
his tracks. Eventually Mckinley was
cornered in Hardin. Then followed
sensational movements on the part OF
the detective, and in order to prevent
his prisoner being detained by legal
processes, he conveyed him to the in
terror of the Chinese Empire, placed
him in a British prison, then took
him down a river to Woosung, and
put him on ship and sent him here
| "What do you consider some OF
the most exciting episodes of your
work - was asked.

Two hundred and eighty.seven men
of the First Regiment, N. G. H., turned

ing and were inspected and reviewed
at Kapiolani Park by Colonel Ziegler,
commanding the regiment.
Companies A, b, c, E, +, and G and
the hospital corps of twenty.seven men

park. The regiment was put through

pitching and other practise drills.

including beans, roast beef, hard tack
and coffee, and plenty of it.
After inspection Sergeant ("Spiderr)
Evans, who won the American Rife.
mems Association medal for the best
score in Hawaii, was called before the
regiment and presented with the medal
by the commanding officer. The Colonel
referred to the sergeant as being well
named "Spider," as the smallest man
and the best shot in the regiment.
Captain Nicely was commissary officer
and Captain Merle johnson quarter
master, for the day.

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-
joy the confidence of the public
and command a class of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat or
deceive others. A humbug may
be advertised with a noise like
the blowing of a thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
exposed. The manufacturers of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION

.ent principles. Before offering
it to the public they first made
sure of its merits. Then, and
then only, did its name appear
in print. People were assured of
what it would do, and found the
statement truthful. To-day they
believe in It as we all believe in
the word of a tried and trusted
friend. 1t is palatable as honey

tive in Anemia, Debility, Lung

W. Bishop says: 81 take pleasure

cious taste and favour. One bot

CHINATOWN IS
MAKING READY
Approach Of New Year CeIe-
bration Creates Business
of All Kinds.

Down in Chinatown they're getting
New Year. The makers of big trans
parent lanterns are working day and
night getting the huge baloon.like af
fairs out and covering them with gaudy
designs of flowers and birds; the orches-
tras are tuning fup-and down-and
making the Chinatown welkin ring
with discordant noises of tympanums
and cymbals; the tonsorial shops are
preparing for the season of shaved polls,
the stores are displaying heaps of sweet
meats and delicacies just arrived from
Chinese ports; the tailors are turning
out gaudy-colored blouses and panta-
looms of wide measure; queues are be-
ing wound with bright colored cords;
the visiting.card writers are already
busy; debts are being paid off; the
clubhouses are being renovated and dec.
GRATED for whole week IS festivities,
homes are being FURNISHED and the
bellies of the celestial world preparing
| for the calls of the SWANS; the haole
housewives employing Chinese cooks
are preparing to do their own cooking
or else taking their families to lunch
and dine in the downtown cafes; the
gamblers are looking forward to har-
vest of paikau winnings, and the police
are wondering what they shall do.
oh, yes, there will be plenty of ac.
tivity in Chinatown. However, it is n
season which all Honolulu enjoys. The
tourists watch the parti-colored lights
from their hotel windows and then make
the rounds of the clubs at night; the
haole businessmen look forward to the
annual reception at the United Chinese
society club where the sincerest recep-
tion is accorded them; and the Chinese
Consul s official residence will be
throngd with well wishers.
Chinese New Year opens on January
| 81 and will continue for several days.
