RECALLS
ARMY SCANDAL

OSINNING, N. Y, Oct. 3.-Captain
Peter c. Hams, Jr, who killed Will
lam E. Hams, in August, 1905 re-
ceived his pardon today and left Sing
Sing prison. Accompanied by his
father, Gen Peter c. Hams, U. S. A.,
retired, he took train for New York
City.
Hams pardon was brought about
mainly by the efforts of his father.
What finally caused the governor 20
act, however, was a petition signed by
all the jurymen who found him guilty
of manslaughter. His sentence was
not less than eight nor more than
sixteen years.
Hams defense at his trial was that
a blow on the head when a boy had
affected his mind His attorneys also
declared he had been frenzied by
stories of relation between Annis
and Mrs. Hams. Hams got a divorce
from his wife last August.

An Insanitary Tenement.

The party next visited the All Le-
ong tenement on Beretania street
The conditions found here were most
insanitary and a menace to the health
of the occupants of the tenement as
well as to the whole community.
The small stream, first seen in Frog
lane, here passes under Beretania
street on its way to the harbOr, On
the mauka side of the street, when
The water is low, the stream forms an
almost stagnant pool filled with in
describable filth. Passing under Bere-
tania street it flows, or tries to flow,
through an open ditch under the All
Leong tenement. AS a matter of fact
it constitutes an open sewer, the COM
mon dumping ground of the occupants
of the tenement. Owing to the fact
that the outlet of the stream into the
harbor is INSTRUCTED by the breaking
down Of the wooden culvert, a proper
outflow is not obtained, and at high
tide a backfow comes in which further
obstructs the passage of the stream
This condition can be remedied at
small expense. Your committee are
informed that the board of supervis
ors have offered to build, at this point
concrete culvert, provided that the
board of health will raise the sum Of
$3.50 from the adjacent property hold
ers to defray part of the expense.
This is an unnecessary and uncall
ed for demand. The work should be
done at once and at the expense o
the county, The board of health

Old Plague Camp.
A visit to the old plague stockade
at Iwilei concluded the trip.
Here conditions were similar to the
other places visited, though perhaps
not quite so menacing owing to the
fact that the whole place is exposed
to the bright sunlight and that there
is no standing water.
The place is occupied by a large
number of families of all nationalities.
All use open privies opening into a
common cesspool which is at tide
level and has to be frequently emptied
by pumping.
The occupants of this stockade pre-
pare and cook their food in an open
court where dogs, cats and children
mingle. The place is alive with flies
which, undoubtedly, have access to
the cesspool and the danger of disease
emanating from this point is a grave
one.

Chronic rheumatism often attacks

of any kind would be worse than use

Pain Balm freely and massaglng the

some relief at once and by contin-

The WHALING INDUSTRY.


1t is difficult to make fair compari-
sons between the circumstances of
two centuries ago and those of today,
steam has so entirely changed the con-
dition under which most industries,
including whaling, are pursued. Hence
it is not perhaps very convincing to
point out that formerly hundreds of
vessels were engaged in whaling
where tens only or fewer or none at
all are found today. Also it is quite
true that the introduction of mineral
oil brought down the price of the oil
products of the whale; but all the
same the lurid fact stands out unmis-
taxable in the history of the indus
try, that whaling was pursued indis-
criminately, relentlessly, without dis
erection or any attempt at preservation
or regulation until it came nearly to
an end owing to the practical extinc-
ton of the animals that were wanted.
The right-whale was simply killed off
the seas, exactly as the buffalo was
killed off the prairies of the States
The SpitzbeTgen seas at one time sim
ply swarmed with whales, where few
are now to be found. The Dutch
whalers alone (there are none now
killed over a thousand whales a year
! for years in those seas. Most east
coast ports of Great Britain sent out
vessels; only Dundee and Peterhead
now send a few. The valuable Allan
| tic right-whale at one time was plen-
tiful in the Bay of Biscay and off the
coasts of Ireland, and formed the basis
of a great Basque industry. The ami.
NAL was hunted across the Atlantic
till there was none left. In more re.
cent times the corresponding right.
whale of the southern temperate seas,
frequenting the neighborhoods of the
Cape of Good Hope, Kerguelen islands,
Australia and New Zealand, has been
nearly eXterminated by the slaughter
of the females while they visited in
their breeding times the bays and in
lets of the coasts London, within
the past century, sent it's regular year
ly fleets to hunt the sperm whale in
the Indian and Pacific oceans. Thai
industry came to an end fifty years
ago. The Hamburg and Bremen in
dustry lasted about twenty years
longer.
I Fifty years ago the American pro
duction alone of sperm and Other
whale Oil exceeded 100000 gallon!
a year. Five years ago the world!
production was but about 100000
The recent stimulation of the industr!
has resulted in the output having beef
brought up to about 100000 gallons
in the past season, of which 4,5OO,OOI
gallons represent the production 0
the southern seas. The question arises
If the whale was so nearly eXtermin
ated by the oldtime whalers, whence
comes this rejuvenescence of the in
dustry? Is it that the whale has re
covered from the ruthless slaughter @
the seventeenth to the nineteenth cen

which permit the modern whaler t.
hunt with success and profit wher
his predecessor would have had NJ
chance?-London Times.

The party next proceeded to lane
leading Eva from Asylum road and
directly opposite the present end of
Vineyard street. This lane, like the
others, is very narrow and leads at-
ruptly to a depression where il would
be impossible to establish sewer con-
nections although much nee led. Here,
as well as in another locality, the
board suggests a central sewage res
ervoir to be emptied by a permanent
pumping plant into the regular sewer
system. The board also proposes that
Vineyard street be extended through
all of the property to eventually con
meet with Houghtailing road in Ka,
lihi. The property thus opened would
afford sanitary homes for several hun.
dTed families. This last lane leads
at right angles, to what is known as
Aud lane, a narrow tortuous passage
! from six to eight feet wide and lead
! ing through to King street.
The roadway in Aud lane is in a
soggy muddy condition due partly tC
the drainage from mauka and partly
to the fact chat it is below the leve
of both Asylum road and King street
Both sides of the lane are thickly
settled with families occupying small
and mostly insanitary houses furnish

San Francisco armored cruis-

ships steamed slowly through the

The squadron was led by the flag

At the head Of the second division was

The other ships are the Colorado, the
Maryland and the South Dakota.
The voyage, which the Navy depart

Spokane Selected for Next National
Grange Meeting.
Columbus, O.-Spokane, WASH, was
chosen for the next annual meeting
of the National grange, following a
contest between the regular and in
surgent factions.
Opposition was inspired by the fact
that the Washington State grange has
been largely controlled by insurgents
and because J. C. Kegley, Washing
ton state master, leader of the insur-
gent faction in the National grange,
extended the invitation to the Nation
al body.
In statement, Oliver Wilson, of
Illinois, National master-elect, said:
81 do not know that there exists q
Jones-Bachelder ring dominating the
affairs of the National grange. If
there is such a faction / am not a
member of it, nor have been advised
of any of its policies or methods. My
first association with the so-called in
surgency came when it met with men,
bers of this faction for the purpose
announced before / accepted their in
vitation, to ascertain their motives
and desires, in the hope of bringing
about complete harmony in the organ
ization."
