MAUI HAPPENINGS.

/
Chinese storekeeper of Paia, accom-
panied by japanese friend, were
riding at full tilt along the road of
Camp l, Spreckelsville. Their little
moonlight spin came to a sudden and
fatal ending by reason of horse care
lessly tethered to a fence bordering
the roadside, the rope stretching
across the road. Both horses and
riders turned somersaults; the China
man was killed, and his friend some
what injured. The bills of that Paia
firm must find some other collector.
If there is no law to stop such offenses
as this, a law should be enacted.
| On the morning of the I'd instant
the household of schoolmaster J. II.
Nishwitz and wife, of Kula, was
blessed by the advent of baby girl.
Congratulations.
| On Sunday, November 8th, Rev.
Oliver Emerson, of Honolulu, Secre-
tary of the Haw. Board of Missions,
preached the sermon at the MakawaO
Foreign Church. The reverend gen.

churches on Maui and Molokai.
During the afternoon of the same
day a Portuguese girl was Knocked

request, to Waikapu.
The chief event on the programme
of the entertainment to be given by
the Maunaolu Female Seminary,
December 18th, is cantata, entitled
"The Gypsy Queen" 1t will be
given in costume, and every effort IS
being made to render it musical
success. Inasmuch as the seminary
girls are famous for sweet voices and
love of harmony, a rare treat may be
anticipated by us Mauiites. 1t will
be moonlight on December 18th, and
lunch will be served.
| On Wednesday, the 18th instant,
Circuit Judge Richardson and Sheriff
Everett, of Wailuku, took the steamer
for Hama. They go there chiefly to
try fifteen japanese, the leaders of
their 800 countrymen who rebelled
from work on Hama Plantation some
time last month. Mr.. John Kalama
is counsel for the defense.
On Friday, the 18th inst, Mr.. G. B.
Miles had runaway accident. He
was driving a mule for the first time
along a Makawao road, when his
sulky struck a stone and threw him
out; after running about two miles,
the animal was stopped by some
policemen at the Court House. Mr..
Miles sustained no injuries, though
one of the springs of the sulky was
broken.
| Weather warm, and the sun shining
brightly.
A JAPANESE TEA.
On the evening of the 18th inst. the
Japanese tea given under the auspices
of the Makawao Ladies' Aid Society
took place at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. Laws, Paia. Delightful
moonlight and fine roads attracted
the attendance of large proportion
of Maui's four hundred. Each guest,
ON arrival, dazzled by lights in all the
hues of the solar spectrum, was
greeted by Mr.. and Mrs Laws dressed
in Japanese costume, who saluted q
la Japanese and smiled Yokohama
smiles.n The conversations in
progress for the first hour or two was
confined chiefly to "ohaio," chair"
etc.
1t would tax the pen of an Oscar
Wilde to do justice to the beauty of
the interior decorations. The spacious
verandas were walled in with canvas,
and the blending of ferns, palms,
bamboos, flags, japanese fans, man.
moth umbrellas, lanterns, pictures
and other Oriental bric-a-brac was
most exquisite, and formed fitting
setting for the eastern costumes of the
young men aud maidens in attend
ance.
Misses Gregory, May Baldwin,
Hammond, Maud Baldwin, Beck
fair maids of Toxic, exchanged tea,
and dainty cups as well, for silver at
their tables amid the palms and bam-
boos, while Mesdames Baldwin, Gu
lick and Loveland presided at the
UdLstdI. MIS-. AleAdHueT, dCCOIu-
panied by stalwart cavalier, used
mild athletic" means to procure vic
Tins to gaze at her bean-bottle and
guess, while Miss Mott, in an "aesthe-
tic" way, disposed of her posies.
The 'tean was not only q success
artistically and as a social function,
but also financially. There will be
little difficulty in removing the debt
incurred by repairs on the church or
gan. Thanks are due to Mr.. Berg
strom and the piano, Mr.. Gilhus and
his violin, and Mr.. Lockwood and his
banjo.
During the week, Mr.. and Mrs.
Martinsen, of Kahului, have issued
cards of invitation to the wedding re-
ception of their daughter Lena and
E. B. Carley, at their residence, on
Saturday evening, November 21st, at
s O'Clock. A large number of guests
will no doubt assemble, as Superin-
tendent Carley has numerous friends.
