By mistake the tickets we're gotten out
with the statement that it would be at
Fort Street Church. 1t is hoped that
holders of tickets will take note of this
correction.
They say that there is nothing in
the rumor that the King will ask Minis
ter Gibson to resign when Paul Neu-
mannreturns; that the skating rink rivalry
is wheel within Wheel that the police
are on the track of the sneak thieves;
that Jimmie Talbot rolls well; that the
dog who's who, doesn't even know his
own master; that the restaurants buy
cheap meat; that these rumors would
be continued if
Member Riddell, of the Post Obit
Club will leave these tropic shores for
the stern coast Of Australia by the next
steamer down. Member Cathcart is
already in tears at the threatened loss
and Member O'Mahoney refuses to be
comforted. Member Barber alone re-
mains gay and unaffected--he remem-
bers how once upon time the longi-
tude of member Riddell out-lengthed
him in swimming bout.
Yesterday morning about ten o'clock
Chinese hackman left his horse stand
ing on Fort street near King street.
The horse tried the old runaway dodge
but the fleet footed Chinaman straight
ened his queue on the morning zephyr
and succeeded in overhauling his
equine "nibs" before any damage was
done. "Him heap too fly, allie same,"
said the Chinaman as he glanced
nervously up the street to see if a
policeman was in sight, "all light, him
all asleep" said the Celestial as he
drove off.
The action of the Government in
shutting off the water Of delinquent

As soon as a bill was paid the water
was turned on again. UP to last Tues
day over So, 900 of the delinquent list
had been paid and it is understood
that the amount paid now approximates
$1,000 This analogy explodes the old
theory that the people Of the Western
United States can live on whisky
Yesterday morning Chinaman was
leading young pigling along Mauna-
kea street to a Chinese butcher shop.
When the pig reached the sidewalk in
front of the shop he cast his eye up
wards and beheld four of his unfortu-
nate brethren hanging upon pegs in
their new retail dress suits. A tear
came into his eye as he beheld their
sad plight and he Immediately
"squealed" and refused to go further.
A dozen Cinnamon surrounded the
fat porker and he was soon hustled
through the door and over the counter.
The Chinese returned smacking their
lips Moral Do not lick the hand
that feeds you if it makes you fat.
