A camp on the Oahu line of railroad in
Eva district, was visited last Saturday
morning by Deputy Sheriff Hopkins,
with the result that he arrested two
opium fends. The prisoners, both
Cinnamon, had to contribute 800 to the
Hawaiian Treasury.
Several accidents have recently oc-
Cured among the Chinese population
of this city, and one of these resulted in
death on Friday last The deceased was
named Kun Wa Pau; and an inquest
upon his remains was held on Saturday,
which resulted in a verdict of accidental
death.
The Likelike did not go so far as the
coast of Hawaii last trip. She reports
continued rain on Maui during Friday
and Saturday and very rough weather in
the channels. She brings no sugar this
trip, and reports the vessels John d.
Spreckels and James A. King loading at
Kahului.
The governor of Oahu Prison, Captain
Staples, on behalf OF the prisoners in
that institution, thanks Mr.. Steiner of
the Elite Ice cream parlors for the pre-
sent OF cake and pies supplied on Friday
last, and distributed on Saturday to
about 10 person at present residing in
the prison buildings.
The yacht Spray had another trip to
Pearl Harbor on Saturday, and was tore
turn Sunday with the following vOyagers;
j. M. Monsarratt, Bruce Cartwright, g.
Il. Eldridge, w. G. SProull, W. A:
Whiting, J. II. Patty, f. NJ. Hatch, and
w. f. Allen; the latter three were
to join the yacht at Pearl Harbor.
Pineapples are now in abundant sup
ply at the several fruit and grocery
marts of the city; but we would caution
those who wish to preserve their teeth,
from eating too plentifully of this tempt
ing and delicious fruit. The juice con-
tains an insidious acid that eats into the
enamel of teeth, and proves a fruitful
source OF teeth-ache and teeth-decay.
AS Will be seen by looking at Mr.. M.
McInerny's show windows, an entire
change of window dressing has been
made this morning. The neck-wear has
disappeared as if by magic, and new
displayed in the capacious window
fronts These are pictures of business
energy Of which Honolulu should be
proud.
If the Government had mixed red
earth with the white coral rock used in
making the road to Palama, persons
who travel that road would not have
suffered as they do now from the glare
reflected from the white surface; and
there might have been less irritation to
IL. fy~Nv
tices of lime dust blown into the face by
the strong winds that sweep across the
road.
The use of the telephone by native
HawaiIans was pretty sure to evolve
some new use OF that instrument, and
dunning by telephone has now become
common among the native population.
The advantage seems to be that strong
language can be used, hardly safe to en-
ploy in presence of the debtor addressed.
Ii may be added that the natives have
taken very readily to the telephone; and
use it often for heightened conversations
of the Chatting" order.
A Chinese domestic while engaged
sweeping out the bedroom OF the bust
modeller, now in Honolulu, came ac-
cidently upon a human skull used by the
modeller as a study in his art. The
Chinaman, upon beholding the relic of
humanity, suddenly gave an exclam-
alton; and, girding up his loins, he
darted out of the room as quickly as his
! Celestial legs would carry him. Trem-
blingly he told his story thus: No
goodee man he muckee me all samee,
takee off my head"
Reports have been current for several
! days that a new ice company, and new
steamship company are about to be in
augurated in this city. Upon enquiry
we find that the first named is fact,
! and that a charter will be Immediately
/ applied for. The capital of the company
| will be $4,000 with power to increase.
! Several prominent gentlemen of this city
are mentioned as stockholders; but, for
the present, we are not at liberty to pub
! fish their names. The report of new
local steamship company, we think, IS
mythical.
The Yacht Helene.
The above yacht started for cruise at
8 a. M. yesterday; but on reaching Coco
Head, the sea was found too rough to
proceed. She was then headed for Pearl
Harbor where she arrived early in the
day, when east and middle lochs were
visited. The yacht returned to Honolulu
about the middle of the afternoon after a
successful and pleasant cruise. Upon
this occasion there were on board, Capt
King, Supt. of Wilder's Steamship Co. Is
steamers; and Capt. Grifiths Of the
barkentine S. q. Wilder.
