ANOTHER BURGLARY ON KING
STREET,

Last night, the premises known
as the Club Dining Room, on King
street, were burglarized by some
person or persons unknown. The
modus operdndi leads the proprietor
to believe that the deed was COM
mittcd by someone who knows the
way about the premises. A picket
fence dividing the dining rooms
from the back property, is minus q
picket, and affords a easy entrance
at the back. The kitchen is open to
an intruder. A partition with q
glass window in it divides the kit
chen from the front premises. No
locks were tampered with and no
doors smashed down. The would
be-thief cut away the putty from a
large pane of glass which afforded
an easy entrance for an ordinary
sized man. An entrance being thus
effected, the cash drawer was bro
ken open and the contents found
to be nil. Nothing else of value
presenting itself to the marauder's s
view it is inferred he retired. Judg-
ing from the cigar stumps and hall
burnt matches that were strewn
about the floor, the place having
been swept out cleanly last night
after business hours, would imply
that some time and dcliberation hat
been employed in the operation. II
was evidently the work of prac-
ticed hand. No broken glass was
found, but the cash drawer was found
open this morning. 1t is strange
coincidence that this burglary
occurred Immediately after the
escape of the noted convict Chur
Hook, as have other burglaries after
the reprieve of well-known convict'
and confirmed thieves.

DEATH OF ]. H. WICKE.

Mr.. j. II. Wicke died at his resi-
dence, Alakea street, this morning,
at 9:15 O'Clock, from a cancer in
the stomach. Mr.. Wicke was SO
years, 6 months and II days old to-
day. He was born in Bremen, and
came to these Islands in 1857. A
year or so after his arrival in Homo
lulu, he established a cabinet-mak-
ing shop, on Alakea street, which
developed into profitable business.
Having fairly started, he sent home
for his intended wife, the present
Mrs. Wicke, and on her arrival
here married her. Mr.. Wicke was
taken ill some three or four months
ago, with cancer in the stomach,
and gradually grew worse, suffering
greatly, until released by death, as
above stated. Mr.. Wicke was a
member of the Order of Redmen
and of the German Benevolent So
ciety, and was much respected by
the community. He leaves widow,
five daughters, and two sons to
mourn his death. The deceased
will be buried from his late resi-
dence, at four O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon.

non-commissioned officers, distribut-
ing them among the entire force.
Perhaps the most original thing he
did, however, was the way he
clothed this army, lie first re-
Questioned by telegram throughout
the country all the cloth he could he
could lay his hands on, both in shops
and private houses, and had it all
stored at Philippopolis, giving
"bonds" for the number of yards
taken from each individual. Then
he ordered every tailor in the length
and breadth of Roumclia TO be ar
rested and brought to Philippopols.
There he had meanwhile prepared
the House of Parliament for their
reception, and when they arrived
they were locked up in it together
with all the cloth, were given pat
terms of great coats and set to work
to make them. AT first they were
sulky, and most of them being
foreigners-Grceks and such like
they appealed to their respective
Consuls, who demonstrated with the
Prince. He sent the Consuls po-
litely to the right-about, saying he
would inquire into the matter when
times were more propitious. Mean
while, the refractory Knights of the
Needle made pretense at work,
but turned out such very bad
garments that they were told theil
food would be stopped unless they
improved. (The house was guarded
and the kitchens established inside.
For two days they starvedl Then
they gave in and set to work pro-
perly. On complaining of want OF
air and exercise, they were taker
for walk through the town under
strong escort. Again the Consuls
demonstrated against this treatment
of their compatriot tailors, and agar
they received the same answer a:
before. At the end of few week:
$4,000 men had all good, warn

AN ARMY CREATED IN A DAY.

When Prince Alexander arrived
at Philippopolis last September,
1855, expecting to have the Turks
marching in on him every day, he
was very much disappointed to find
that the Eastern Roumelian Army
consisted of twelve weak and totally
unsoldicrlike companies Luckily
there was IL sufficient supply of arms
in store so at once he called out
every male inhabitant between the
ages of eighteen and forty, and soon
had mob of 80, 200 men at his dis
posal. These he divided into slots"
of 900 each, which were numbered
throughout, giving him thirty-iive
battalions. Then he took the few
officers Captains at the highest)
that he found at his hand, and gave
them regiments and brigades He
next promoted all the non-commis-
stoned officers to be officers, giving
them command of battalions and
companies is due order, and finally
he promoted the whole of the priv
ates of said twelve companies to be

KAlpUNUl.

A native woman, named Kaipunui,
who died yesterday morning and
was buried from her late residence,
on Emma street, in the afternoon,
was extensively known among the
white people of these islands, and
was admired for her good qualities.
She was brought up at Waialua,
Oahu, by Mr.. and Mrs. Emerson,
parents of DR.. Emerson At the age
of about 20 years, she married a
native preacher, named IIaia, and
was faithful to him up to the time
of his death, some 20 odd years
ago. About two years after her
husbands death, she married q
Portuguese, who survives her. Kal-
punui was favorite nurse for some
time in several prominent families
of Honolulu. She was industrious,
often earning money with her needle
She possessed rare qualities, ant
was liked by all who knew her.

Lawrence Donovan of New York
jumped from the new suspension
bridge, little past the centre, at

Buffalo last night and stayed at
Suspension Bridge. His jump was
witnessed by four or five persons.
He was accompanied by one Haley
and a Buffalo reporter. He made
the jump successfully. distance of
100 feet. He went straight down
feet first. He came up somewhat
dazed, but struck out for the boat
in which were the reporter and lla-
ley, and was taken in and given
stimulants. He is not seriously in
jured. One rib is probably broken
and his hip is bruised. He said be-
fore he got out of the water that he
would not jump again for million.
Afterward he said he would jump
next summer for 81, 900. He said
he wanted to jump at Rochester and
quit.

CoRNET SOLOS.

And yet another moonlight con-
cert will be given by the Royal Ha-
waiian Band tomorrow evening in
Emma Square. For this occasion
Mr.. L. NIichiels, the cornet soloist,
has volunteered his services and he
will play three cornet solos, one of
which, Hawaii Ponoi, is dedicated to
Mr.. Henry Berger, Bandmaster,
and the composer of the National
Anthem. The full band will play
the original composition of the me-
lody, as written by Mr.. Berger, and
at the same time Mr.. c. Michiels
will play the variations as COM
posed by himself, the whole forming
q Fantasie.
A full moon shining brightly and
probably q balmy breeze from the
trade wind quarter, will add to the
attractiveness of the occasion, the
whole tending to constitute pleas
ing evening.

new HEBRIDES HAIR DRESSING.

The inhabitants of Tanna have
more of the negro cast of counten-
ance than Papuan tribes usually
have, but there are good-looking men
and women among them. They paint
their faces with red earth, which
they get from the neighboring ISL
ands of Aneiteum and Erromango.
They frizzle their hair, and the men
especially carry hair dressing into
fine art. DR.. Turner says he
counted no fewer than 700 separate
curls ON the head of one young
exquisite! A similar practice pre-

PORTUGUESE IMMIGRATION.

The Ha,cuiian Gazette lately in
timated that it might be well for the
planters who want Portuguese labor
ers, to get them direct, without the
intermediary of officials, who only
help to swell the expenses. The
Gazette further intimated that large
number of Portuguese in the Azores
we're anxious to come here, but that
the Hawaiian Consul at San Miguel
wanted to manipulate emigration to
suit his own interests. About the
same time, the LusO Ha,cdiianO had
a letter from the Azores, announcing
that the Hawaiian Consul in San
Miguel had been nominated agent of
emigration for the Empire of Brazil,
and it was consequently to the in
terest of that official to send people
to the country just named. In the
last issue of the Luso, the Lisbon
correspondent of that paper, a gen.
tleman of reliability, states that
there are over 400 men in Madeira
ready to contract with the Hawaiian
Government, that the same number
could easily be obtained from the
Azorean islands, outside OF San
Miguel, and that more could also be
obtained from the Cape Verde
islands. He says that 5000 men
could easily be procured, with or
without families, if needed. The
same correspondent is confident that
immigration to the Hawaiian Islands
could be induced from Portugal, OF
condition that passages were paid
This information, from reliable
source, is worthy of consideration

AN ESCAPED CONVICT.
CHUN HOOK, THE EXPERT CHINESE
BURGLAR, ESCAPES FROM THE
GANG, TAKING BALL AND
CHAIN WITH HIM.

Yesterday, Chun Hook, once
more evaded the clutches of the law.
The prisoner was serving out q
series of sentences for burglaries
and previous escapes, the aggre-
gate term of which amounts to about
ten years. He was marked man,
and in consequence thereof, he was
decorated with an extra heavy ball
and chain. With this appendage he
was sent out with the prison gang to
work as usual on the Nuuanu valley
road, beyond the Ice works. A
native luna was in charge of the
gang, having with him an assistant
luna. During the early part of the
afternoon, the prisoners were order
ed to wash themselves in stream
that runs near by tie scene Of their
labors. This necessitated a divi-
sion of the gang, a luna being in
charge of each lot. On again
mastering Chun Hook was missing.
A search for him was at once insti-
tuted, and his undesirable attach
ment, the ball and chain, enabled
the searchers to trace the runaway
for about 200 yards towawards. The
search was kept up until nightfall
but it proved futile, the gang return
ed to the Jail, minus Chun Hook.
The minions of the law have theories
of their own as to how the escape
was effected, but they are all to nc
purpose. The "bird has flown,"
and all that now remains is to re-
capture the desperate. No doubt
it will be effected, as the circuit OF
hiding places is prescribed on these
islands. The truth is, there is want
of vigilance on the part of Jail lunas.

the family of Michael Hogan, who is en-
ployed by Chapman & Co., and had some

ditiOn that she should be cared for so
long as she lived. The cask in which she
was found was set in the ground in a
s%lanting position, about six inches of it
projecting above the surface on the side
where she was. 1t had showed the day
before and the ground was covered with
ice. On either side of her, as if they had
fallen from her hands when she went
down. were two dishes. The theory
is that she went out for water and
slipped as she stopped to dip it up. She
was a large, heavy woman. An inquest
was held under the direction of Select
man w. W. Chapman, with Mr.. Albert
Chapman as justice of the peace. The
evidence contained nothing to suggest
that it was anything but AN accident. .

interest appears in this weeks Argus
"GovernOr Stewart appeared before the
railroad committee last Thursday night.
in regard to the highway bridge which
crosses the cut through which the
railroad lies in Middlebury village. The
present law requires the top of bridges
to be Il certain height above the track. in
order to avoid danger to the employees of
the road, and the bridge at M%iddlebury,
the height of which already makes a
steep grade in the main street, would
have to be raised about ~ inches more.
causing "A good deal of damage to the
town and to the adjacent property-hold-
ers. Probably those two bridges at Mid
dlebury will be excepted, as they are
not properly railroad bridges, but high
way bridges. An injunction was served
by the town on the railroad
when they attempted to raise the bridges
some time ago. The company only de-
sires to protect itself"
