the golden shores of this Paradise of
the Pacific.

Police Court and Mrs. Foster leave

which will be spent in their native

back to their pleasant home on King
street. Minister Parker has been
on vacation tours for the past two or
three months, but the exhausting
effort required to prepare and crate
his numerous speeches calls for a
rest now, and probably when he
returns from San Francisco, he will
be prepared to work out new prob
lens of state, which will give boom
to Hawaii nei, that shall surpass the
visions of the most ardent optimists.
