FROM MAUI.
ELECTRIC LIGHT co. DISSOLVED.

vi AhuioOay hlSut, tuo A01u iuct.,
the Maui Electric Light and Power
Co, held final meeting at Kahului.
1t was decided that it would not be
profitable to carry the enterprise
further. Not only have the misfor-
tunes to the machinery been many,
but owing to ''hard times" the num-
Der of consumers have lessened
very materially. When the under
taking was started by Messrs. Stolz,
Laws, Treadway and others, they
had the promise of about ITO Lights
which would have paid handsome
premium, if the assurances of Lock
wood had been verified in regard to
the action of their electric plant.
eau contraire" the windmill was a
failure, the engine proved made
quate as to power, break downs were
frequent, and instead of demanding
only three or four hours daily to
store up sufficient power (as Lock
wood prophesied), it required the
entire time of a manager. ALI this
made loss far exceed profit, hence
electric bulbs will no longer adorn
Kahului drawing rooms. Too badl
TARo MALoo.
"Taro maloo" is the name under
which a preparation similar to mac
caroni is patented. Epicures wish
ing to smack their lips over dainty
Wand will please invest in box of
these pipe-stems; place small guam
tum in dish, add fresh milk, grated
cheese, etc, bake it, and presto
"Jack Horner and the Christmas
pie will be blotted from history. 1t
is most tempting, appetizing dish
even before cooking. A prominent
Honolulu lawyer recently bought a
box, intending to regale his family
at dinner with Hawaiian maccaroni
and cheese but, alas, he inadver-
tently tasted a bit in the raw and
found it so fascinating to his palate
that another package had to be pur
chased before the: promised delicacy
appeared on his dining table.
This new Hawaiian manufacture
is prepared at Waikiki by the Fruit
and Taro Company, in addition to
the flour which as it becomes better
known is growing more and mere
popular. Mr.. E. III. Bailey, man
ager of the company vii soon
take a trlnu San Francisco and
rSSfnaps farther east, in search of
new machinery. The demand for
the company's products is already so
large that the capacity of the old
plant is overtaxed.
HERE AND THERE.
The first polo game in weeks was
played by the Makawao Club on
Miners field during Saturday after
noon, the oath instant. The play
was fast and furious; not goal was
made by either team. Mossman's
men had the advantage during the
first heat of ten minutes, while the
Won Tempsky quartette forced the
contest in the vicinity of their oppo-
nents' goal flags during the last in
nings of twenty minutes. Several of
the fair sex sat upon their horses
under the lone tree, and, by their
presence, induced some brilliant
rushes. Only one sore head is re-
ported. Another contest is in pros
pect fer this afternoon.
It is rumored that the next evening
of the Makawao Literary Society will
occur some time next week at the
Wilder's, Kahului. The train will
run of course.
Expresses bearing Cinnamon, their
wives and families have been hurry
ing and scurrying over Makawao
roads for day or two. The expla-
nation is, that bona fde Chinese
wedding will take place today, at
high noon, at the residence of George
Miner, of Makawao. The name of
the bride is Amoe, a Chinese girl
who has been brought up in the
Miner family. The bridegroom is
known as Apoliilii, the son and heir
of Apo. a Chinese butcher. Rev.
Keaupuni of Huelo will tie the nup,
tial knot exactly at IL noon to-day,
and at J P. NJ. magnificent luau will
be given in honor of the joyful event.
A ADA acre pasture fire in Makawao,
occurred on property belonging to
Enos & Co., of Wailuku. Raleakala
Rs, e. fields were saved by plough
ing irrows. Such conflagrations
have been very, very frequent during
the dry season in Makawao. The
largest one some weeks ago consumed
from one to two thousand dollars
worth CT hay belonging to the Bur-
chard estate.
PERSONAL MENTION.

did not ship the horse per Claudine
