THE WEEKS OPERAs.-Another
brilliant week Of summer opera is prom
ised at Albaugh's Opera House. The
Becbe Company presents the MERRY
War" on the first three evenings and
Patience" during the remainder Of the
week. The former was well received
when rendered by the same company
earlier in the season, and the cast of
the latter ensures delightful perform
ance of Gilbert and Sullivan's tuneful
satire.
The MINSTRELS. - The McNish,
Johnson 81 Slavin Minstrel Combna-
ton made their appearance in very
credtable street parade to. day, and
promise season OF three nights and a
Wednesday matinee Of fun and melody
of the highest order. The crowded
ranks of colored minstrelsy contain few
names so well or favorably known as
those who head this troupe. These
popular stars are supported by good
company and appear in an original and
attractive programme.

Among the Miliiners.

The surplice waist is the favorIto for thin
summer dresses.
Artificial fruits, such as currants, grapes,
small aprlcots and plums,are worn on French
garden hats.
White silk mitts are worn with thin white
costumes in the evening and for young la
dies on all dress occasions.
Red velvet skirts are stylish for either af-
ternoon or morning wear and for combina
tion with almost any fabric.
The printed canvas cloths which were in
tended for millinery purposes are used for
dress trimmings with more or less good ei-
feet.
Figured mulls with flowers and designs of
moyenage colors are worn by aesthetic young
ladies who like limp and clinglng fabrics.
Lovely in tint are some of these mulls
The English tournure is even more gigan-
tic than that worn by Parlsan ladies. and is
made OF stin steel springs. A modified bus
tie is the fashion with those of best taste in
this country this season.
Tho vivid green bonnets are very fashionn-
BILE in Paris this season and are not so ugly as
an accompaniment to the French colorng,
which is always more ar less definite, but 1t
should only be adopted with notifications by
the majority OF American ladies.

upon location for the bridge, and

people will, no doubt, agree that the
memory OF the Old Commander can be

(rRom ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT }

The most terrific and destructive storm
that has visited Hawaii set in late on the
afternoon Of Saturday, the 25th instant. At
about 4 O'Clock it was noticed that the tenn
perature had very perceptibly increased,
with low barometer and remarkable still
ness in the air. At O'Clock the rain came,
gently at first, but gradually increasing in
force till early in the evening it came down
as it can only rain in Hawaii. The wind,
which was all the time shifting about from
east to south, increased in violence till it
eliminated in almost q tornado on Sunday
night, blowing down buildings and fumes,
tearing up trees and prostrating hundreds of
acres of cane.
At Laupahoehoe the new Catholic Church
was removed from its foundations and badly
crushed, many high trsstles over the gulches
thrown down and washed away, and the
cane fields damaged to the extent of $50, 1000.
At Hakalau the damage is estimated at about
the same figure. At OnOmea very high
trestle-the highest one on the island-was
blown down, the wharf carried away and
the cane injured badly, as indeed it was
on all the plantations in Hilo district. Pa
paikou lost its wharf and Wainaku several
hundred feet of trestle work.
On Sunday morning at 10 O'Clock China
man and mule went down Kepeko stream
and out to sea at Laupahoehoe, and OF
course were drowned or killed on the rocks.
One of the abutments Of Waikomalo
bridge was badly washed, and little more

bridges throughout the district, with this
exception, remain sound and firm, which
speaks well for Supervisor Arnold's work.
The storm reached its height late on Sun
day night with wild burst of fury and the
most tremendous downpour of rain that
! your correspondent ever beheld, but it was
we'll on towards Monday night before the
sun came out again. The surf, which be-
gan to increase several hours before the
storm set in, assumed tremendous proper

down thousands of tons of rock and carrying
away everything within its reach. Through

This island has been visited by one of the
| severest storms ever known, doing damage
| to the extent of nearly $3.50, 900 in HiIo dis
| trict alone. The storm began at p. m. on
| Saturday, the 25th, from the northwest, and
| gradually increased in violence, with change
| of wind to east and south, eliminating on
| Sunday evening in a hurricane from that
| quarter with such deluge of rain as Hawaii
only is noted for. The damage SO far as
| known from plantation managers reports
! are about as follows:
Wainaku Plantation Fumes blown down,
cane damaged, $4,000.

down, cane damaged, $50, 1000.
P.Waikomalu bridge, north abutment dam
aged, $500.
Laupahoehoe Catholic Church blown
down, 81 500.
The Government road from Honihinu to
Maulua Gulch, distance of about eight
miles, is badly washed out and needs imme-
date repairs to make it fairly passable for
horses, and these will cost about 81 200.
Advices from Puma district state that
there was a succession of tidal waves, gut
ting 'Out the road in some places and in
others filing it with boulders washed in by
the sea.
Mr.. Rycroft writes that at his place, Po-
hoiki, large water-soaked log, three feet in
diameter and % feet long was washed inland
distance of 30 feet beyond the road, and
IS feet above the highest known tidal mark,
so it would seem that there was something
of a wave.
Reports from Kau district state that i'm
mense damage has been done to the cane
throughout the district, and that the land
ings at Honuapo, PunaluC and Kaalawalu
have all been swept out.
We have no definite news from Kona,
Hamakua or Kohala. Taken as whole,
this has been the most destructive storm
occurring to this portion of the island
within the memory of that ubiquitous in
diVidual, the coolest inhabitant.'
