Presentation.

Ever since the year 1860, Mr.. P.
@. Jones has been one Of the teach
ers of the Kawaiahao Sunday School.
Excepting a few months service in
the Fort Street Sunday School, he
has been in his place with his class
every Sunday since that time while
in Honolulu unless detained at home
with illness of which he has had but
little. Sometimes he has gone home
from the school and taken his bed
with illness. Probably hundreds of
young Hawaiians to day who are
doing we'll in life will point back
with affection to his help and wise
counsels. His class has always been
conducted on the principle that the
concerns of this life need attention
in order that those of the next may
receive better and more intelligent
care. In view of his expected de-
parture his large class on Sunday
presented him with a very hand
some gold-headed cane. The work
on the handle is very fine and taste
full. The shield bears the inscrip-
ton Up. Q. Jones from his Sabbath
School class, July IL, 1891" The
stick itself is a combination of sew
eral of the finest Hawaiian cabinet
woods.

ROBBERY NUMBER Foup
The Government R,;1d;,
Searched for Money

dhe Government BuiIdine
searched for Money.
When the Government BUILDING
was opened Sunday morning it was
discovered that a search had been
made over the building for coin no
doubt. The first to discover the
traces OF the thief were Chief JUS
tice Judd and Hon. T. r. Lucas.
Two theories are given as to the
way the building was entered. One,
that jury having been kept wait
ing till late in the evening, the door
on the Waikiki side of the Court
room was left unlocked in the haste
OF closing up: if the entrance was
not effected there, then window of
the Education department was the
place where he got in. The census,
Attorney General, and the Foreign
Offices were not visited, whether be-
cause they could not be opened or
the burglar thought there was no
use to go through them remains for
him to rise up and explain. He can
oblige the people by sending a Jack
the Ripper sort of a letter and run
no risk of his identity being discov-
cred.
No money or anything else was
found missing, except few dollars
taken from the Education office.
With the exception of this and some
papers torn to pieces, the search was
bootless. So was the thief, as he
again left his imprint of bare foot
in the Governor of Oahu's office. All
the Offices of the Judges of the Su-
preme Court were searched, probably
for decisions that the Judges haven't
yet made public. A safe in the office
of the Clerk of the Supreme Court
was tried, with the result of only
fastening it the more. On this safe
only the key lock is used, the COM
bination taking so long to open it.
The latter was found turned, causing
about a half an hours waste of time
in opening it Sunday forenoon.
Small traces of the search was left
in the law library; no books were
taken from the shelves, a conclusive
proof that he was not inclined to
pursue law course. The marks of
the chisel used in the other three
late robberies are not seen in this,
giving an appearance that it may be
a new man In the profession.

A Great Grand Stand Game
Hawaii Not In It-Near 1T.
Saturday last was not a favorable
day for ball-tossing, owing to the
prevailing showers that fell during
the afternoon. However, the regular
league game between the Heavy
Hitters and the Cripples came off as
announced, and was decided IN favor
of the former, after a struggle
through mud and water. Score, 7
to 3.
Both teams were badly "broke
up" the Cripples having four new
men on the diamond. all of whom
made fair showing. For the I'll. HIS
Chas. Wilder played third, and G..
Lucas short stop.
The game was not without fea-
lures, each team distinguishing
itself. Some pretty flies were cap
tured, and Hay "hooked on" to a
hot liner at the initial bag which
paralized players and spectators
alike. He merely reached out his
gloved hand and the ball struck and
stayed there. Hay will have to ex-
| plain it. Taking the playing
throughout, it was interesting, not
withstanding the wet ball and
ground being a big drawback to the
batteries as we'll as to the infeld.
w. V. Lockwood had the pleasure
of umpiring the game alone, and, in
the absence of official scorer 81. w
Winter), Gardner K. Wilder filled
that position.
The attendance was poor, as might
be expected. Those present, how
ever, witnessed a good game of ball
taking everything into considera

Mexico City is, in fact, very expensive
place in which to die. A funeral costs
$5e0 at the least. If it is at all respectable,
and in the case of foreigners the expenses
run up into the thousands. This is espcci-
ally so when it is desired to take the bodies
out of the country. II the friends of the
dead are not posted all sorts of extravagant
charges are imposed upon them, and the
estate of q Kansas millionaire narned
Smith paid 5000 for expenses here.
Among the charges was one of $500 for EN-.
balming, and heard of case yesterday in
which u Mexican embalmer or doctor
charged 5000 for preparing the body Of a
Frenchman who died here for shipment
Tie work was not properly done and the de.
ceased could not be sent away, whereupon
one of the American newspapers published
an article as to the outrageous charge.
The doctor then brought suit against the
paper, saying it WIS true he had brought
in the bill for embalming rs stated, but as
the body had decomposcd before he began
he was not able to preserve It and had
withdrawn the bill Had the newspaper
not published the fact the bill would hard

undertakers have TO make high charges.

HUNTINGDON, w. Va, Aug. 5. = A
thorough investigation into the story of
the alleged horrible murder of the
Brumfield family in Wayne county,
about twenty miles from this place, has
been made, and the whole story turns
out to be fake. A neighbor of thu
Brumfield family was here and says
while in Shoals nothing was known of
the affair. The only foundation for the
rumor is the fact that one of the Brum-
field children was badly burned Friday
night by accident, and number of the
neighbors of the family went over. The
story of the murder may have arisen
from this fact, coupled with the further
fact that one of the Brumfield boys shot
an Italian about week ago. Catletts-
burg is about twenty miles from Shoals,
while live but a couple of miles from
the Brumtields and would know the
fact il the family had been murdered as
stated
