of dollar and started for the house.
The Chinaman called him back and
demanded quarter more, which the
native refused to pay, which so en-
ragged the Monaghan that he jumped
out of his hack and attempted to chas-
tise the native, but it seems that "Greek
met Greek" and after hard struggle
the Chinaman showed the white flag
and also two eyes in mourning.
Complaint comes from resident
living on Adams lane that his family
are often disturbed during the night by
some party or parties who repeatedly
come to the doors, knock, and then dis
appear before the inmates can open the
door In one instance a bottle was
broken on the back porch. The gen
tleman who lives in the house has
lately been trying to get sight of the
night providers, but SO far has only sue
ceeded in getting near enough to hear
retreating footsteps. A reward ought
to be offered to some policeman to
keep him awake long enough, for few
days at least, until the culprits could
be caught and the nuisance abated.
Mr. Wash Norton will appear in his
Sensation Changes" tonight at the
Hawaiian Opera House. Speaking of
the speciality of Mr.. Norton, the San
Francisco Ffga'o says: "These are
new and immensely clever. They are
all made in sight of the audiance and
without masks or assistance of any
kind. He comes on the stage in eve
ming costume, presto and he is changed
to a Frenchman in uniform, next to an
old man with cane; then the cane
and wig are put in his pocket and a
rollicking Irishman appears, who
changes to an Irishwoman, then an old
maid, and lastly to fashionable belle
of the day. All these characters are
properly costumed and are all made
from the combination dress in which
he makes his appearance on the stage
in evening costume. To show how
ingenious these combination changes
are we will state that as an old maid,
Mr. Norton wears gray stockings and
house shoes, and in a moment later, as
the fashionable belle, he displays car
dinal stockings and CATERS, in addition
to the other full change of costume"
