CARDS AND CROSS ARE
USED TO ADVANTAGE BY
AN ALLEGED "HEALER"

A pack of playing cards and a small
cross were much In evidence against
the so-called healing practised by Jo-
seph Rcdrigues, who this morning was
assessed fines amounting to $3.50 fol-
lowing his conviction upon a charge
of engaging in the practise Of medicine
without first having secured license.
A delegation OF poor and afflicted
Portuguese was yictimized by Rodri-
CUES, who is alleged to have done a
flourishing business until brought to
justice by Captain Of Detectives Nc
Duffie. Rodrigues devoted his ener-
gies to treating sufferers from rheu-
matism. employing the cards in Sc
ries of incantations before the uplifted
cross. Later In the course Of the treat
ment, he administered compound
composed of crushed water-cress, oil
and whisky.
; The patient was later obliged to sub
nit to massage in which shark oil
was applied, for which Rodrigues Is
declared to have demanded payment
ranging between SIS and $50 for each
treatment. -s.#.

.HARB0R BOARD
ENDORSES Plan
1OENHARGEB BAY
Idea of schas. n. Forbes Proves
Popular With Commissioners
Well Received Elsewhere

Superintendent Charles r. Forbes
plan for changing the west shore line
and materially increasing the sire Of
Honolulu harbor, in connection with
the dredging of the Kalihi channel,
was endorsed by the board Of harbor
commissioners at its meeting this
morning. James L. Mclean and JO-
seph Sheedy, vice-president and gen
eral manager respectively Of the In
ter-Island Steam Navigation Co., also
gave it their approval and a represen-
tative of the Chamber OF Commerce
announced he wouia present the plan
to the merchants with recommends
ton for its endorsement
AS mapped. Forbes plan is to dredge
the harbor along Sand Island back to
straight line extending almost from
the point beyond the lighthouse to a
point toward KalihL This would still
leave the narrow entrance to the Ho-
Holulu harbor, and would necessitate
the removal of the lighthouse and the
quarantine wharf TO points further west
and south. 1t would increase the ex.
panse Of deep navigable water In the
harbor by approximately % acres. said
Forbes. and would give a straight line
of bank along the western side about
$500 feet in length, with ample room
for bulkhead pier extending the en-
tire distance. The largest ships could
use this bulkhead wharf, he explained,
and still leave much more space
for navigation than the port now pos
sesses.
At the request Of the American-Ha-
waiian Steamship Company the COM
mission authorized Chairman Forbes
to order a 14-inch hawser for use at
the new Kuhio bay wharf at Hilo. The
steamship company explains that UNI
/. der present conditions there II is found
advisable to hold vessels out some dis
lance from the pier when they are
not actually engaged in working cargo.
The company says that il the hawser
is provided it can make regular use
of the new pier, sending the Kentuck'
1 ian there early next month, and one
vessel every fortnight thereafter, max
ing it a regular port OF call.
A large number tf bids for the con
struction OF the new Kuhio lay wharf
shed, for its paving and the supplying
and installation CT loading machinery
were opened this morning, though the
tabu,ated totals we're not completed
!. until a late hour this afternoon. To
enable tabulation of these and the
award Of the contracts the board took
recess until 1880 o'clock this even,
Ing, when the further business Of the
/ weekly meeting will be undertaken.

800 PARIS POSTMEN
PARALIZE SERVICE
and Barricade Themselves-$200,-
600 Damage Results

Paris June 24.-Six hundred striking
letter carriers today barricaded them
selves in the Paris Central postoffice, OF
which they took possession last evening.
Eight hundred policemen were placed In
position around the block by the authori-
ties, who We're considering whether to
storm the place, when M. Castor Thom-
son, minister of commerce. posts and tele-
graphs. promised to make searching in
quiry into the mems grievances provided
they returned Immediately 10 duty which
they did.
Those within the building had exhaust
ed their small supply of food early today.
but comrades outside succeeded In supply
ing them with edibles, which were drawn
in through the windows by cords.
One deputation # business men called
on M. CASTOR Thomson, minister of COM
mence, posts and telegraph, today and
informed him Paris already had suffered
to the extent of 5000, 900 by the Interrupt
ton Of the mails for few hours and that
that this would be greatly increased un-
less the government took means to re-
store the service.
For seven hours last night GOO angry
postmen held the central postoffice and
prevented the movement of all incoming
and outgoing mail. The trouble arose of
the refusal of the Senate to include in
the postal budget certain increased al
lowances for which there had been a
strong agitation.
