ing, was received with great satisfac-
ton and pleasure on Maui.
On Thursday, the Oath inst, at 10
A. NJ, the four candidates held sin
durance vile" by the persuasive force
of $500 bonds, appeared before Judge
Kepoikai, of Waikiki, to charge Of
violating the election law. The po-
lice justice, taking the cue given by
his superiors in Honolulu, immedi
ately and honorably discharged the
quartette after they had made Aft
davits to no election expenses. The
Honorable Noble, having eloquently
and successfully pleaded his case,
placed single dollar on his "proft
and loss" account, for a stamp
on his bond, but the others,
Messrs, Keanu, Kamai and Kaau, it
is whispered, enriched their attorneys
to the tune of $50 per man.
STRAY NOTES.
Seventeen to five" is the story Of
the defeat of the Lahaina boys by
the Waikapu team on the 18th inst.
The ball game was played at Wal
kapu, on grounds adjoining the old
race track. The officers of the
day were: Captain Edmunds, of
Waikapu, Captain Bright, of La
haina, and Rev. Mr.. Kitcat, umpire
On Saturday afternoon, the 10Th
inst, occurred the monthly shoot of
the Maui Rifle Association at Kalua-
nui range. There was larger at
tendance than usual, several ladies
grazing the occasion by their pres
ence. Riflemen of the third class
contested for the cup, and Mr.. A.
Hooking was the successful man.
On Sunday, the Goth inst, at the
Makawao Foreign Church, the exor-
dunn of Rev.T. L. Gulick's discourse
consisted of resume of the wonder
full uses and purposes of the air, and
his peroration was an appeal to in
telligent men to acknowledge Divine
force in the creation and direction of
matter.
The Maui Cattle Co. of which Ell.
p. Baldwin is president and w. f..
Pogue manager, held a meeting at
the Paia Plantation office, at 10 A. M.
Friday, the 18th inst.
The reason why the course of cleo
trio light at Kahului doesn't run
smoothly is that the company mag
ined that they had a four-horse
power engine, but it has proved to be
a "one-horse" or rather two horse
affair. They IRE awaiting another
engine OF greater force.
The Makawao Road Board are in
trouble. About a month ago they
asked the Interior Office for a com.
mission as supervisor for Geo. Copp
and fled the necessary bond. Since
then, they have spent much time in
watching the mails, but 'she cometh
not" and they have grown weary,
very weary, and work on roads has
been much delayed. "Mahope paha."
The following is a fact: Two
prominent young men of Maui have
been the recipients of bona ide pro-
posals from beautiful young ladies
in the States. Photographs accom-
panied the requests for hand and
heart. All this, OF course, is of a
very delicate nature, and ought
to be given publicity, only as warn
ing to the young ladies of Maui and
as reminder that Sc of the 366 days
are gone. In the tender epistles
there were some shameful illusions
to "the halfsavage shyness of
maidens of these barbaric isles, p
shocking

lope, after unloading her cargo of
