The YOSEMITE MASQUERADE.

Although the masquerade and
maypole dance at the Yosemite rink,
last evening, was great success in
point of patronage, the performance
on skates was hardly up to the last
previous one. There was less origin
atty and not so much richness of
costumes, and there was Il falling off
in the number of skaters. How
ever, there was at least as much
fun in the affair, it was well
managed, aud the maypole dance
succeeding the unmasking was
very attractive addition to the
event. There were about q thou
sand spectators present, and nearly
fifty skaters in costume. Several
harlequins kept the audience in II
pleasant mood by their funny antics
throughout the whole performance.
The grand march, led by little
shepherd and sheperdcss, was we'll
executed. Sixteen young people
participated in the maypole dance,
and on the whole made a graceful
exhibition. The judges of the mas
querade were Mrs. j. NJ. Dat, Mrs.
DIR. McAllister and Mrs. DR.. Gray,
and Messrs. j. NJ. Dat, c. A. Brown
and Purser Sutton of the Alameda.
Their awards were as follows: Most
Megant costume, Maid of Erin, Miss
Maggie Morgan; most original,
Music, Miss Emily Wall; best sus-
tanned, Market Woman, Frank Fer
ris; most comical, Nurse and Child,
Messrs. Hall and Pfciifer. Notably,
among those who wore pretty cos
tunes were: Miss NJ. Morgan, Miss
f. Wall, Miss $. Clarke, Mrs. DR..
G.. l.. Fitch, Miss Tregloan, Mr..
l.. Scott, Mr.. Rothwell, Mr.. f.
Darling, Mr.. F. Gardiner and Mr..
f. Williams. Mr.. VIM. Wall, pit
cher for the Oceauics, represented
crow. He flew about the rink
looking for grub, and winged his
way about the skaters to catch fly.
The rink was tastefully decorated
for the occasion with flags, festoons,
pictures and lights. Among the
audience were many marines from
the war vessels in port Sept. Goth.

A DANGEROUS VISITOR

"Why don't you say something
about diphtheria being in town!
People whose children may have
sore throat should know that the
disease is here, so that they would
not neglect to call in n doctor in
time"
Thus said Queen street merchant
to our reporter to-day, but too near
press-time for making enquiries
among the local physicians. Au-
thentic information of two cases, in
different families, was, however, OBJ
tanned.
While the existing cases may not
be malignant, the disease may spread,
and in spreading develop into the
worst type. There is no question
that the sanitary conditions of the
city are at present highly favorable
to the development of any species
of epidemic. A grave responsibility
rests upon the Board of Health. -

HARD TO PLEASE.

A lady of exact mathematical
principles, went a-shopping one day
in a city somewhere in the vicinity
of Diamond Head. Taking up
spool of thread, bearing the usual
warranted 400 yards" label, she
wished to ascertain if it would stand
the test of actual measurement.
The obliging salesman proceeded to
unwind and measure the thread,
which held out to 1893 yards and
then paused. Another spool was
tested with similar exemplary pa
thence and rectitudc and held out
the 400. The customer, however,
would not have even the honest
spool, saying that she wanted one
not unwound. The genial shopman
produced an unmeasured spool, and
thereupon gathered the 20 cents
into the till, proceeds of Il sale of
cotton thread, and afterwards turn
ed his attention to winding up the
unwound spools, while he cogitated
over the pecuniary value to its
possessor of mathematical mind.

AN ANCIENT SEpULCHRE.

In the valley called lao, back of
Wailuku, Maui, there is, in one of
its dark rccesses, cave which has
been known for long time as being
one used in ancient times for burial
purposes. A while ago, young
man exploring the valley came across
this cave, and finding some human
bones in it he carried one off as Il
memcnto of his visit. But, after a
while, he was told that the cave had
been used only as the burial place of
a family of high chiefs, and that it
was hardly the thing to disturb their
remains. The distracted bone was,
therefore, replaced by the finder,
and since then the natives in Wal
luku, understanding that His
Majesty the King was DESTROYS of
visiting the cave, have cut road to
it, in anticipation of His Majesty's
visit before long. 1t will be matter
of interest to many to have the his
tory of this burial place given, and
any authentic accounts regarding it
will be an addition of value to the
history of the past in these islands.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

A Chinese cook, employed by
Wong Quai, who lives on the plains,
was robbed on Beretania street, at
Thomas Square, about ten O'Clock
on Saturday evening, by native ban
ditti. Mr.. w. Maertens, who lives
close to the Square, says that be-
tween ten and half-past, while he
was seated, talking to a friend, in
his house, they heard cries of "Haul
in" OH the street. Going out some
distance to the spot from whence
the cries came, they saw an express
going past without stopping to find
out the cause of the disturbance.
They met Chinaman, who was
shivering and shaking with fear, but
who could not talk English much.
He, however, managed to tell them
that he had been set upon by six
young natives-he was positive in
this description of his assailants-
who emptied his wallet of its con-
tents of three dollars. When he
cried, "Haul in," they threw him
down and stuffed his mouth with
dirt. Although the express did not
stop, its appearance caused the rob-
bers to run away; yet if the occu-
pants of the carriage had needed
the alarm, one or more of the ras-
Gals might have been caught. Mr..
Macrtens says there is great need of
police supervision in that quarter.
1t is only two or three weeks since
his Chinese servants quarters were
broken into and about three dollars
stolen, by young kanaka who was
seen jumping over the fence and
getting away Sept. 21st.

the ALLIE ROWE

Shortly after the Honolulu brig
Allie Rowe, Capt. Holland, arrived
in Hongkong, she was stripped,
caulked and coppered at cost of
1920. Afterwards she got a
SO, 200 charter to Tientsin, 81 800
being paid in advance. The cargo
was insured for $4,000. When
about ten miles out of Hongkong
the brig encountered severe gale,
which caused her to leak so badly
that she was compelled to put back
to that port. She was with difficulty
kept aiioat. The Allie Rowe had been
surveyed in Hongkong and first
class certificate granted her, which
her agents here, Messrs. Freeth &
Peacock, have received. The latter
are satisfied that the vessel is all
right, and will re-appear in Homo
lulu harbor in due time.

OPIUM SEIZURE.

Marshal Soper and Officer Fehl-
behr searched lodging house at the
corner of King and Alakea streets
yesterday. Twenty-one tins of
opium were found in the room occu-
pied by William ii. Pond, an en-
ginecr from Waikiki, Maui. A half
pound jim of opium was found in a
closet in James Kings room. The
occupant was present, and seemingly
surprised at the discovery. While
the Marshal was waiting for the
search warrants, for Ponds room
and the house, Pond slipped out.
He was shortly afterward arrested
by Officer Tell, who, with Officer
Mehrtens, had been sent for. Both
he and King were taken to the
Station House. The last-named has
been employed at the United Carri-
age Co.'S stand, and is well regarded
by his comrades.-[Sept. 10th.

The UNION FOREVER!

On Thursday last the wedding
bells did not ring out gaily at Lihue,
Kauai. So far MS known there was
but one such bell there, and it was
SO constructed that it was not posi-
bic for it to ring. IL was located in
the parlor of the Hon. w. III. Rice $
residence. The happy couple who
took their stand under it were Miss
Ada Taner and Mr.. Il. II. Gibson,
both of Waimea on this island. The
ceremony was performed 10y the
Rev. +. Richter. After q wedding
breakfast the bride and groom set
out for Kipukai to spend their
honeymoon at Mr.. Rice's seaside
cottage. AS they started number
of "Rice birds" were noticed hover
ing around the carriage. This is
supposed TO be very favorable
omen--even more so than the Gus
tomary shower Of old shoes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson take with
them the best wishes of many
friends, including the representative
of the BULLETIN, Notwithstanding the
fact that he did not receive wedding
cake enough to dream over. May
health and happiness and all that
they most wish be theirs.

FERNS AND MOSES.

Reference has previously been
made in these columns to the new
enterprise of fern collection and cul-
ture, started by Mr.. f. l.. Clarke,
we'll and favorably known hitherto
as journalist. Mr.. Clarke has
that business now fairly under way,
and, tits gratifying to state, is meet
ing with every promise of success.
He has already furnished tourists
and visitors with handsome collec-
tions of the native ferns and moses
of this group, which are exceedingly
rich in both beauty and variety.
Also he has orders ahead, and
further developments of his project
in hand, which will keep him very
busy until Christmas. Mr.. Clarke
is having fernery erected in rear of
Williams's photograph rooms, where
the beautiful ferns he procurcs from
the mountain Businesses and vast
craters of the islands, will be ten
derby reared, so as to furnish a
supply right in the capital. He has
shown us some delightful specimens,
which make up most esthetic cards,
procured during his recent explora-
tons in the Haleakala crater. This
new enterprise seems destined to
give the group fine advertisement
in the world of botanical science,
and it is of no small Importance as a
utilization of heretofore neglected
wild products.

A BEAUTIFUL BANNER.

The Honolulu Commandery No.

banner from Cincinnati. 1t is made
Of white satin with gold fringe,
and is about three and a half feet
long by about two and half feet
wide. On one side, in the center,
is n native girl with 4 kahil in her
hand, and leis about her head and
over her shoulder. In the same
picture is Diamond Head and the
sea for background, making the
native girl appear in bold relief.
The picture is in a circular form
with border of flowers. On the
other side, in gilt letters, are the
words, +" BE thou faithful unto death
and ] will give thee a crown of life, F"
forming a circle, in the center of
which is q crown and cross. On
each lower extremity is Il cross, and
between the crosses skull and
cross bones. The banner is attached
to a long pole, with a gilt ball above
the banner, and above the ball q
double cross. The whole article is
very beautiful, and he who carries it
will have cause to be proud.

gain. he went out into the wilderness
to view the manor of which he had
become seized. Climbing a rugged
knoll by the lines of the plan, the
prospect of his new property sud-
denly broke upon his vision. 1t
was not the first time it broke either,
for u more broken piece of real
estate could not be found this side
of the Nuuanu Pail. His lot, to be
brief, PANIED out before his eyes as
vast gulch--a sort of vacuum pan,
without the sugar. Though in
pleasant places, the lot had fallen
too hard, and become ruptured in
twain. Now the puzzle that per-
picked this landed proprietor became
ono of how to utilize his bit of
seouestered landscape. He might
fling suspension bridge, rivalling
the New Iork-Brooklyn wonder,
over the chasm, and get his value
out of tolls from his fellow-colonists.
BY damming it (Which, by a pun
ming construction of the word he has
really done), he might be able to
sell Honolulu much-needed addi-
tional water supply. A roof thrown
over the gaping void would convert

however, that the matter would moi

to see the property before instead OF

BREAKING up HOUSEKEEPING.

Residents of Palama, just below
the Reformatory School, were dis
turbed in their early Saturday even
ing meditations, by great noise of
scolding in a natives house on the
lane parallel to King street. toward
the harbor. 1t had been no uncom-
mon occurrence to have the quiet OF
the night, and of daylight hours as
well, disturbed by the drunken raw
ings of the lord of the same domi-
ellie. But he was even more violent
than usual upon this occasion. lie
scolded his wife in terrific manner,
at the same time assuring her that
he would not hurt her. He only
wanted to show people, as he eN-
pressed it, how powerful he was,
and to impress everybody with the
knowledge that he could do as he
pleased in his own house. 1t was
his castle, and, in default of in
vaders from without, he seemed to
consider it incumbent upon him to
demonstrate that fact by grand
assault from within. Therefore,
laying hold of the window easement
with his powerful hands, he threw
his weight against it, and crash it
went out upon the ground. Then,
compelling his wife to assist him, he
tumbled all the scant furnishings of
their dwelling in a confused heap
into the vegetable garden. After
draping the pile with the floor mat
ting, he kicked the rear window out.
The scene of desolation now pre-
sented by the cabin, however, did
not satiate his destructive fury. He
went outside and began tearing up
the plants in the garden.
In the meantime native neigh
Dor, who had many times eXpostu
lated with the ruflian for his violent
practices, warned him that he should
be arrested for this aggravated,
wanton outburst. Accordingly, the
ncighbor hurried down town to the
Station House, and returned with
an officer in an express, just as the
crazy fellow had begun operations
among the vegetables. The express
stopped little distance away, and
the officer, alighting, approached
unobserved in the rear of the de-
spoiler. While the latter was stoop-
ing down, with his hands full of
plants, the officer sprang upon him.
The prisoner struggled violently,
but some native men, who had been
concealed in an adjacent patch of
sugar cane, rushed to the assistance
of the policeman and the desperate
fellow was quickly overpowered and
secured. He had threatened to use
a pistol upon anybody interfering
with him, which caused his neigh
bors to watch him from under cover
of the cane. The weapon was
dropped in the struggle and picked
up by one of those on the scene.
Frequently the neighborhood has
been annoyed, not to say terrified,
by revolver fusillades upon the pre-
misses of this madcap. AS the pri-
soner was driven away on Saturday
night, he was followed by loud
lamentations from his wife, while
her neighbors jeered at her for re-
tanning any regard for her dangerous
and worthless spouse.
