E Mr.. GEORGE ARMSTRONG has been appointed Road
Supervisor for the districts of Wailuku and Maka-
wac, ON Maui. The inhabitants of these districts
are to be congratulated on this appointment, which
is reported to be a very popular one with them.
Mr.. Armstrong left town for the scene of his duties
ON Tuesday last.
On. McGREw has at length secured the property
on the Waikiki side of the Hawaiian Hotel, and is
about to throw the whole into one. These places
have always been an eyesore to the occupants of
the hotel, and detracted much from the general
appearance of the place. Neat cottages will take
their place, and the ugly fences will be replaced
by a continuation OF the neat picket railing which
ancloses the. adjacent parts of the hotel grounds.
Is things are going on it seems likely that the end
of the lease will come before the Doctor stays his
hand from making improvements. The dining
room has just been renovated, and when it's new
furniture arrives will be in every sense a luxurious
apartment.
AGAIN a piece of wedding cake on the editorial

life. Each ammarrieG member Of Hi tbee stan will

low tonight, and will hope to dream of as bright
and pleasant a lady as Mrs. Hiel Kapu when he sees
the promised vision of his future bride.

THERE was a large and apRreciatiye audience last
Tuesday evening at Mr.. Wray Taylor's organ
7 recital. Miss Ponti's rendering of the arias she
sang was much admired. Should this young lady
devote herself to the art she is destined to become
! 3 great singer. Mr.. Taylor on this occasion, played i
. piece of DR.. Sparks introducing the %carillonsl
which he has recently added to the organ. The
piece of the evening, however, for the lover of good
music was the communion in q, by Batlste.
Il AT the auction sale on Saturday, a lot and
6house in Palace Walk was sold for 2050; and 81
acres in Makiki valley were bought by the Minister
of the Interior in the interest of the city water
supply for 1926. The stock sale was rather slow,
the reserves on a number Of animals being in ex-
.s5s of the valuation put on them by buyers.
avertheless about a dozen horses were sold at fair
Ices. Mr.. Ellis was the selling auctioneer.
s.TaE country is going to ruin;' Trade is at a
ssspdstill' say the men who want TO drive the
Ministry out of office that they may manipulate
the appropriations and the two million loan to
suit themselves. 1t looks like it when Mr.. Ken
.edy of the Honolulu Iron Works brought with
IN fourteen workmen, machinists, pattern
-keTs and others. The manager would not have
leen sorry If there had been forty instead of four
teen.
THE Suez brought a large number of passengers
on her last trip down from the Coast, being, in
fact, obliged to refuse some applications for want
~ room. She also brought some 1900 tons of
eight, now landing. Captain Dodd is deservedly
.lpular, and the Oceanic line bids fair to do a
.-rge share of the CARRYING trade between this port
and the Coast.

FOREMOST among the amenities Of life at the
Hawaiian Hotel must be reckoned the frequent
social evenings and dances got up by the hostess
for the entertainment of guests. To these all who
are living at the hotel are always made welcome.
and very pleasant times they generally prove to be. /
One of these came off on Monday night. The Royal
Hawaiian Band gave a concert in the hotel grounds 1
during the evening, and this was followed by a
dance, which was kept up with spirit till long after
midnight, and greatly enjoyed by those who par
ticipated in it. |
AN appeal was taken in an adultery case heard at
the Police Court the other day under circumstances
in which the magistrate ought most decidedly to 1
have the discretion of refusing to allow an appeal.
The male defendant, who is a native lawyer ad-
vanced in years, and notorious for his copious flow
Of talk, pleaded not guilty, but the woman acknow-
lodged the transgression, and gave her evidence I
against him. There was positively no rebutting
evidence, yet on being fined 500 the man appealed.
One of the commonest uses made Of the excessive
right of appeal which exists in this country is TO
gain time to buy off witnesses, and 1t is natural 10
assume that a hope of doing this prompted the
appeal in the present case.
THE monthly meeting of the Young Mems Chris

Kaumakapili Kawaiahao and Chinese Young Mems
